The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 76: Su An’an, Let’s Get Divorced

Inside the Empire Battleship’s pharmacy, spider venom swirled in a test tube.

Su An’an’s fingertips flew as she concocted the antidote, then downed it in one gulp.

A blue medicinal vapor exploded inside her body like a detonated nuclear bomb.

The shadowy toxin occupying her Spiritual Sea was uprooted completely.

Big Mouth Whiskers and the "power bank" danced in a frenzy of excitement.

But the purple, snake-fang-like whiskers from Night Abyss remained limp and listless.

"Your Highness, Night Abyss’s Beast Core has shattered. Do you have any way to save him?" asked Little Pink, the super-intelligent AI chip embedded in the inside of her arm.

Su An’an took out a box of special Blood Frenzy Pills.

"The spiritual power contract between a Female Master and her Beast Husband allows them to live and die together."

"I plan to use this contract to reconstruct Night Abyss’s Beast Core."

"You can’t!" Little Pink exclaimed in a panic.

"The original purpose of this marriage contract was to prevent a Beast Husband from harming his Female Master."

"If you forcefully open the dual-channel for life-sharing, it’s highly likely you’ll die along with Night Abyss."

Su An’an clutched the Blood Frenzy Pill in her hand, determination flashing in her almond-shaped eyes. "I have to save him, even if I have to bet my own life on it."

Little Pink’s voice was distorted with anxiety.

"Your Highness, even if you won’t think of yourself, you should think of Big Cat and the merman!"

"If you die, they’ll die with you."

Su An’an’s fingers intertwined as she murmured,

"You’re right. I can’t send them to their deaths with me."

She put the Blood Frenzy Pill in her pocket, picked up the spider venom Antidote, and turned to leave the pharmacy.

The moment the metal hatch opened, Ying Jiuyao’s tall, slender figure appeared in a flash, like a silver bolt of lightning.

"Anan, are you all right?!"

His trembling fingertips brushed over the ends of her hair and her neck, carefully examining every inch of her skin.

"Is all the toxin gone? Does it still hurt anywhere?"

"I’m fine. The spider toxin has been neutralized. Take this bottle of Antidote to Ah Jin and the others."

Su An’an pressed the blue test tube, which glinted coldly, into Ying Jiuyao’s palm.

"I’ll have Tie Xinxian handle the subsequent preparations."

Ying Jiuyao placed the Antidote into the portable medicine case at his side and said,

"Nieruo is dead. All the Lizard Beastmen, including the eggs of the Heart-Eating Nightmare Spider, have been eliminated."

"All the Lizard Beastmen are dead?" Su An’an frowned and asked, "Did any of the females give birth to Lizard Beastman cubs?"

"Yes!"

Lan Cangming stepped out from the shadows, his silver-blue hair cascading down like a waterfall.

"But when Nieruo used his spiritual power to order them all into a frenzy, the young cubs couldn’t withstand the bloodline explosion and all died as well."

"Oh."

Su An’an lowered her gaze and responded, the shadows from her hair hiding the churning emotions in her eyes.

’It’s for the best that they’re all dead!’

’An image of Ah Jin’s wrists, chafed raw by iron chains, flashed through her mind. And all those other females, emaciated and withered.’

’If those Lizard Beastman cubs had returned with them, they would have been a constant reminder of their tragic past.’

"Anan, Night Abyss is dying. Do you want to go say goodbye to him?" Ying Jiuyao said in a low voice.

"No!"

Su An’an snapped her head up, a resolute fire burning in her almond-shaped eyes. "I’m going to open the life-sharing channel in our marriage contract and save him!"

The air in the cabin seemed to freeze.

Fei Zhao’s fox ears twitched slightly as he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Lan Cangming’s jawline tightened, his blue-green pupils turning icy cold.

"The worst-case scenario is that I die with him."

Su An’an forced a smile that was uglier than a grimace. "So... let’s get a divorce."

"I don’t want you to be buried with me."

BANG!

The sharp crack of breaking metal exploded in the cabin.

Veins bulged on Ying Jiuyao’s hand as he gripped a twisted steel handlebar, the fur on the tips of his ears bristling into fluffy balls of fury.

"I forbid you to say that!"

In the next instant, those eyes, once filled with rage, suddenly dimmed. Grievance and pain washed over them like a tide.

"Do you love Night Abyss that much? Enough to give your life for him?"

His hoarse question held a sharp, piercing pain.

’He remembered how Su An’an had paid an exorbitant fine for the merman.’

’And now, she was about to risk her life for Night Abyss.’

’So what did that make him?’

"He saved me. I owe him this."

Su An’an’s voice was soft, but it struck Ying Jiuyao’s heart like a sledgehammer.

"I can sacrifice everything for you too, including my life!"

Big Cat suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it forcefully against his own heaving chest.

"Give him my Beast Core! I’ll trade my life for his!"

His voice broke into a sob at the end, and his beast ears drooped listlessly.

His Gilded Beast Eyes were filled with desperate pleading.

It was as if he would rip out his own heart the moment Su An’an nodded.

Su An’an’s fingertips trembled, her heart aching with a sour bitterness.

Lan Cangming’s cool voice broke the stalemate.

"Su An’an, you’re not saving a beastman, you’re gambling with your life."

"Forcibly opening the dual-channel of a spiritual power contract has a mortality rate as high as 87%."

"Even if you succeed, both your and Night Abyss’s Spiritual Seas will suffer irreversible damage."

"And if something happens to you, all of us will be buried with you."

"Didn’t Night Abyss choose to fight Nieruo alone precisely to ensure your safety?"

"By going to your death now, you’re trampling on his sacrifice. Don’t let what he gave up become meaningless."

’Your Highness, Lan Cangming is right,’ Little Pink couldn’t help but add. ’Protecting the Female Master is a Beast Husband’s duty, and sacrificing themselves for it is their highest honor.’

’By doing this, you’ll just cause Night Abyss to be scorned by other beastmen.’

’Duty isn’t a weight to measure life and death,’ Su An’an replied calmly.

’If I back down now and use his sacrifice to buy my own survival... then what’s the difference between me and the people who pushed him to this desperate end?’

’True feelings are not chips for calculating gains and losses! If I stand by and watch him die, then I, Su An’an, would be the real coward!’

"Anan, I’m begging you, don’t go!"

Big Cat’s voice trembled, as if his entire being was about to shatter.

"I’m sorry!"

Su An’an, her eyes rimmed with red, squeezed Ying Jiuyao’s trembling hand.

She lifted her head, her gaze meeting Lan Cangming’s, as firm and unyielding as a tempered steel blade.

"I can’t just stand by and watch Night Abyss die, but I’m not gambling with my life either."

Su An’an took out the special Blood Frenzy Pill.

"I just contacted my master, Jiu Su."

"She said that in my frenzied state, there’s an eighty percent chance I can save Night Abyss."

"I only wanted to divorce you all as a precaution, just to be safe."

"But..."

Ying Jiuyao wanted to say more, but Su An’an cut him off.

"Don’t try to stop me. Otherwise, I’ll dissolve all our contracts right now."

"Don’t!"

A whimper suddenly escaped Ying Jiuyao’s throat as he yanked Su An’an into his arms.

His fluffy tail immediately wrapped around her waist, the force so great it was as if he wanted to meld her into his own body.

"I support all of your decisions."

Su An’an’s tense body instantly relaxed, and tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks.

’Useless Big Cat!’

Little Pink internally ground her teeth.

’She could only pin her hopes on Lan Cangming and Fei Zhao now.’

The cold light flowed through the cabin, coating Lan Cangming’s silver-blue hair in a layer of frost.

The Mermaid Marshal’s spine was as straight as an unsheathed Cold Sword. His lips were pressed into a thin, hard line, exuding an innate nobility and detachment.

Su An’an took a deep breath, slowly pulled away from Big Cat’s warm embrace, and turned to face Lan Cangming directly.

"So, a divorce?"
