The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 23: I Need Your Comfort

At that moment, the blood seemed to rush suddenly to his chest.

He swallowed, his breathing slightly heavy, and his gaze involuntarily glanced to his side.

She was half-submerged in the water, her deep purple hair clinging to her shoulders, going down...

He shook his head fiercely, forcing those images down.

Yet his ears still turned subtly red.

Seraphina was completely absorbed in hurrying along, not noticing his unusual demeanor, occasionally glancing at the sky.

The gray-blue sky was gradually being swallowed by the night.

A few early stars twinkled faintly among the shadows of the trees.

She squinted, estimating the time, calculating whether they could find a suitable place to rest before it was completely dark.

The road was unexpectedly calm, not encountering any other beasts.

Even Evan, who was usually vigilant, did not issue any warning signals.

By evening, they found a cave deep in the Veridia.

The last ray of the sunset slanted into the forest.

The cave entrance was half-concealed by a few dense shrubs, not easily noticeable.

Inside, however, it was spacious and clean, the ground covered with dry grass and rubble.

A few Beast Husbands went in to check around.

After confirming safety, they laid out the bedding, lit a campfire, and then looked at Seraphina.

Seraphina was a bit puzzled being stared at, frowned, and asked, "What is it?"

She paused for a moment, looking at the few people silently standing in front of her, her brows knitted involuntarily.

"What? Can’t I walk a few steps by myself?"

Kaelan explained, "The meat we brought at noon is all gone. We need to send someone to hunt. But it’s almost dark, and it’s hard to say what we can get."

He knew that hunting in the mountains at this time was quite risky.

Especially nocturnal creatures were highly alert, and they might not be able to bring back much food.

But he was more curious if Seraphina would complain because of it.

Unexpectedly, Seraphina waved her hand with an indifferent look.

He was originally prepared to deal with a few complaints.

But in the next second, she didn’t even lift an eyelid, waving her hand casually.

"I’ll just have some fruit. I’m tired, I’m going to sleep."

As soon as she finished speaking, she directly walked towards the corner Beast Skin Bag, reached in, and took out a few ripe wild fruits.

The fruit peel was purplish-red, with a natural waxy sheen on the surface.

Obviously, these were freshly picked fruits.

Saying this, she took out a wild fruit from the bag, bit into it, and the juice made her narrow her eyes comfortably.

"You guys sort out dinner yourselves, don’t mind me."

When she opened her eyes again, she was in an indifferent state.

"I’m not hungry, eat whatever you like, just don’t disturb my sleep."

A few people thought they would have to persuade her for a while, but her straightforwardness left them stunned.

Kaelan opened his mouth, the preparation he had made got stuck in his throat.

Evan raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Even the always indifferent Wyatt slightly turned his head to look at her.

They thought they would at least need to persuade her to replenish her strength.

Who knew she would be so understanding, even considerately easing everyone’s burden.

Evan casually placed his remaining fruit beside her.

"If you get hungry in the middle of the night, remember to eat some. We’ll be back as soon as possible."

He crouched down and gently placed the only three plump fruits left in his hand beside Seraphina on the edge of the Beast Skin.

"It’s chilly outside, if you wake up and feel cold, pull up the cloak a bit."

After speaking, Wyatt and Gideon left the cave.

The two exchanged a glance, nodding tacitly.

Then turned and walked into the deepening night.

Their figures quickly disappeared among the woods.

Evan, Kaelan, and Isaac guarded the cave entrance, preventing wild beasts from approaching at night.

The three stood at different positions, forming a natural alert circle.

Evan leaned against the right rock wall.

Kaelan sat on a low stone, appearing relaxed, but his ears slightly moved.

Isaac lay half-prone on a protruding rock above the cave entrance.

Seraphina ate a piece of fruit, feeling even more tired.

The fruit’s flesh was sweet, but it ultimately couldn’t warm her stomach like hot food.

She swallowed the last bite, the tip of her tongue lingering with a faint fruity aroma, but her eyelids grew heavier.

A day’s journey finally accumulated at this moment into an overwhelming fatigue.

She lay on the soft Beast Skin and quickly fell asleep.

The firelight cast a glow on her serene face.

By midnight, the night was deep.

In the mountain forest, all was silent, only the wind rustled through the treetops.

A tall figure slipped into the cave.

By the faint and flickering bonfire in the cave, the person slowly raised their face, eyes locking onto Seraphina’s sleeping face.

Under the fire’s glow, her profile looked particularly gentle.

Suddenly, he leaned down, knees hitting the ground beside her, hands propped on either side of her body.

Lowering his head, he suddenly kissed her.

The kiss came fiercely and ruthlessly, without any warning.

Seraphina was originally sleeping soundly, her consciousness hazy, when suddenly her chest felt heavy and her cheek was sealed by scorching lips.

Her entire body was pinned down by her shoulders, unable to move.

Her nose filled with a strange scent.

The smell of sweat, blood, and an enduring medicinal aroma.

She opened her eyes, her pupils rapidly contracting in the dimness, her gaze meeting Wyatt’s dark red eyes.

There was no reason in that gaze, no restraint, only bare possessiveness.

Seraphina’s mind buzzed, her entire body’s blood instantly froze.

She instinctively raised her hand, slapping across with a swing.

"Slap!"

The crisp sound echoed in the empty cave.

Wyatt’s head was abruptly knocked to one side.

Seizing the opportunity, Seraphina shrank back forcefully, her spine slamming hard against the cold, rough stone wall.

Her chest rose and fell, her eyes still blazing with anger.

Just as she was about to start cursing, the trembling in her throat stalled her voice.

At this moment, she saw Wyatt slowly turn his face back.

His eyes still flushed, but some of the terrifying madness had quietly subsided.

"I’m sorry... I... I need female calming power... I really... couldn’t control it..."

Seraphina then noticed his entire face was flushed, skin scorching hot to the touch.

This appearance was absolutely not something that could be faked.

It was clear he truly fell into the agonizing torment of a mating frenzy.

In this wilderness world, females were prized not only for their rarity and reproductive ability, but also because they possessed the special talent to calm males.

This ability was called the "calming power," crucial for maintaining male sanity, alleviating their restlessness and primal urges.

Females’ Beast Rings were distinct from males’.

They weren’t color-coded for rank, just a circle of pure black lines around the wrist.

The wider this black line, the stronger its calming power.

Conversely, it indicated extremely limited ability.

And Seraphina’s Beast Ring was so thin it was nearly invisible.

This kind of width signified her calming effect was almost negligible.

Generally speaking, the calming process mainly relied on physical contact.

Especially the closeness and resonance between skins.

The more intimate the physical contact, the more apparent the transmitted effect.

The most effective means were deep embraces, touches, or even intercourse.

With her nearly zero calming power, if she wanted Wyatt to completely calm down and regain his sanity.

The only solution might be to have a true relationship with him.

But how could that be possible?

Their relationship was fundamentally maintained by a Contract.
