The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly Chapter 77: Night Abyss Awakens

Chapter 77: Night Abyss Awakens

"Exchanging your life for a beast on the verge of death is a foolish choice, but..."

Lan Cangming gazed down at Su An’an. A subtle ripple crossed his blue-green eyes before they instantly turned to frozen icicles.

"Breaking the link requires burning the contract sigil. It’s the equivalent of having half your heart gouged out."

"Night Abyss is my friend. I hope you can save him, too."

"Thank you!"

Brilliant starlight lit up Su An’an’s almond-shaped eyes.

’She had expected this answer.’

’This stone-faced Frozen Fish is actually a bigger softie than anyone.’

Lan Cangming’s Adam’s apple bobbed. His gaze lingered on Su An’an’s pale cheeks for a mont before he quickly looked away.

The air around him turned frigid. As he turned to leave, he threw a final remark over his shoulder:

"If you want to thank , stop doing so many stupid things!"

Little Pink gritted its teeth in frustration. ’That sharp-tongued, soft-hearted fish! How dare he speak to Her Highness that way.’

’I can only hope the Red Fox uses his Charm Technique to stop her.’

"Fei Zhao..."

Su An’an’s gaze landed on Fei Zhao’s bewitchingly red irises. "And you?"

"I’m not leaving."

Fei Zhao shot Su An’an a glance, his voice lazy.

"Don’t misunderstand!"

"Like the Frozen Fish, I’m not so opportunistic hyena."

"Thank you!"

Su An’an smiled gratefully.

’My guys are the best. So loyal!’

’I will save Night Abyss. No matter what.’

"If you want to thank soone, thank Lord Jiu Su. If it weren’t for her..."

Fei Zhao shot Su An’an a cold glance, the corner of his mouth twisting into a scornful smirk.

’I’ve only set aside my hatred.’

’I’ll never forget the pain of losing my tail!’

Su An’an’s throat tightened.

She rembered three years ago, when she had personally severed Fei Zhao’s nine tails—his pride and joy—and his blood had stained the floor of her chambers red.

The coldness swirling in her fox Beast Husband’s eyes was the sa as it had been that day.

"I know you hate ."

She took a deep breath. "But this ti..."

"Hate?"

Fei Zhao suddenly lood over her, his red eyes so close they were almost touching her face.

"My dear Female Master, don’t think so highly of yourself."

"Thank you, anyway!"

Flustered, Su An’an avoided Fei Zhao’s icy gaze and went to her Big Cat’s side.

The scent of Tequila instantly soothed her frayed nerves.

’Aww, my Big Cat is the best. He’s so good to !’

"Anan, give the Blood Frenzy Pill."

Ying Jiuyao gently held out his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Su An’an clutched the Blood Frenzy Pill tightly.

’Don’t tell my Big Cat is going back on his word. He’s not going to stop from saving Night Abyss, is he?!’

"I’m going to make you a promise."

Ying Jiuyao took the Elixir Pill from her hand and violently tore open his collar.

Without hesitation, he plunged his sharp claws into his own chest.

A splash of heart’s blood, crackling with silvery-white lightning, splattered onto the Blood Frenzy Pill, staining it an unnatural red.

Su An’an cried out and tried to stop him, but he held up a hand to hold her back.

All color drained from Ying Jiuyao’s handso face, and cold sweat dripped down his jawline. But the scorching heat in his Gilded Beast Eyes was intense enough to burn her.

"Rember, our spiritual net has always been a two-way anchor."

He staggered half a step forward, his bloodstained fingers curling around the nape of her neck.

The mont their foreheads touched, an overwhelming wave of devotion and resolve surged through their spiritual net.

"No matter where you wander, I will catch your soul. Even if you fall into the abyss, I will clamp my teeth on the chains and drag you back."

"I’ll co back!"

Trembling, Su An’an kissed his bloodied lips.

"Go on."

Ying Jiuyao personally walked her to the door of Night Abyss’s Treatnt Chamber.

Lan Cangming suddenly approached, holding sothing out to Su An’an.

"This is a Calming Pearl from the rmaid Clan. It will help you stabilize your sea of consciousness."

The thumb-sized Blue Pearl shone with a gentle light in his palm.

The shimring halo on its surface was just like the deep ocean’s tide.

"It’s too precious, I can’t accept it."

Su An’an hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.

’This Calming Pearl was a keepsake his mother gave him before she died.’

’It held the last remnants of the rmaid Royal Family’s tenderness.’

Lan Cangming firmly grabbed Su An’an’s wrist and pressed the pearl, warm from his touch, into her palm.

"Take it."

He turned away, avoiding Su An’an’s shocked gaze. His pale ear fins twitched slightly.

"Don’t get the wrong idea. I just don’t want you dragging all the other beasts down with you."

Su An’an clenched the pearl, its cool touch gradually ward by her body heat.

"Co back alive."

The rmaid Marshal’s voice was tinged with a hoarseness he himself didn’t seem to notice.

"Or else, I’ll go down to Hell myself and drag you back."

"Alright."

Su An’an put the pearl away, steeled herself, and turned to enter Night Abyss’s dical room.

Lan Cangming stared at the closed door of the dical room.

The emotions churning in his blue-green eyes vanished in an instant, leaving only a nearly inaudible sigh in their wake.

A faint, sharp pain pricked at his heart, like a silent taunt.

Noticing Lan Cangming’s clenched fist, Fei Zhao suddenly let out a soft chuckle.

"rmaid Marshal, your ear fins are trembling."

Lan Cangming spun around, his cloak whipping up a gust of wind.

"None of your business."

With his back to the others, he strode toward the observation console.

He pulled up a dense stream of data, but the characters were a aningless blur.

Ying Jiuyao stood before the dical room door like a statue.

His Gilded Beast Eyes were fixed on the door that separated them.

「Inside the dical room.」

Night Abyss floated like a broken specin in a deep blue regeneration fluid.

His body was covered in hideous, festering wounds, and his shattered flood dragon’s tail exposed stark white bone.

The once-bewitching scent of Mandala flowers around him had all but vanished.

’Your Highness...’

Little Pink wanted to protest further, but Su An’an silenced it.

Without a mont’s hesitation, she swallowed the Blood Frenzy Pill. Her snow-white skin imdiately took on a pearlescent luster.

A film of moisture misted over her almond eyes, and her luscious red lips looked like honey-coated berries.

Her silken black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, flying about in the air as her spiritual power surged.

A rich, sweet, creamy fragrance filled the entire room.

Night Abyss’s eyes snapped open, his irises a shocking, blood-red.

Su An’an’s potent, creamy scent was like a wildfire, instantly igniting the beastly instincts deep within his blood.

His shattered tail wrapped around Su An’an’s waist, dragging her into the depths of the tank.

The ferocious Poisonous Flood Dragon crushed her against him, stealing all the air from her lungs.

It was a greedy, violent, savage kiss, as if he ant to devour her whole.

"Night Abyss, calm down!"

Su An’an shoved hard against his shoulder.

Her Spiritual Power Tentacles pierced into his ruined sea of consciousness.

A gentle light began to glow.

Clarity returned to Night Abyss in a flash. His bloodstained fangs grazed the corner of her mouth before he jerked his head away. His rotting claws trembled as he held her by the shoulders.

"Are you insane? Opening a shared life channel will kill you!"

In the murky fluid, the blood-red color gradually faded from his slitted scarlet pupils, leaving only a panicked mixture of shock and fury.

Su An’an’s Spiritual Power Tentacles wrapped around his struggling wrists like silver threads.

Her voice was laced with her creamy fragrance, firm and unyielding. "Don’t move."

She tilted her face up, her fingertips caressing his festering scales. "When you shielded from those Bone Spikes, did you stop to wonder if it was worth it?"

Three of her Spiritual Power Tentacles began to glow faintly around the phantom of his shattered Beast Core.

"Let go!"

Night Abyss’s tail thrashed wildly, churning the fluid, but she wrapped her arms and legs around him, holding him fast.

"I would rather have my soul shatter and scatter to the winds than have you..."

Su An’an sealed his trembling words with a kiss.

Her spiritual power road gently through his sea of consciousness.

As if gathering shards of shattered jade, it began to lift the scattered fragnts of his Beast Core, one by one.

"Shut up," she murmured, nipping his lower lip. Her voice was thick with tears, but still commanding. "And watch."

Threads of iridescent light condensed from the void, weaving the fragnts back into a sphere.

"I’ll piece your Beast Core back together, even if it kills ."

As Night Abyss felt the core reforming within his sea of consciousness, a strangled sob escaped his throat.

But Su An’an simply nuzzled the tip of her nose against his cold earlobe. "This ti, it’s my turn to be your way out."
