The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 17: Forcing Him to Save Her

However, he occasionally glanced subtly over his shoulder.

Those blue-green eyes sparkled with surprise.

In that moment, her wet hair clung to her body, water droplets sliding along the contours.

This scene caused a slight tremor in his heart.

Wyatt Yardley originally just casually scanned the surface of the river, intending to pass over it, but accidentally collided with the image of Seraphina Caldwell lifting water to wash her hair.

She tilted her head back, eyes closed, letting the water flow down the tips of her hair.

Water droplets slowly slid down her face, grazing a delicate nose, finally resting in the hollow of her collarbone, trembling lightly.

His Adam’s apple moved slightly, and his heartbeat skipped involuntarily.

The next second, he quickly withdrew his gaze, turning his head away, forcing himself to stare at the open forest ahead, no longer allowing himself another glance.

He knew he shouldn’t be like this.

Yet the momentary scene was deeply etched into his mind.

Gideon Larkin paced back and forth on the forest edge in the distance.

But at this moment, he heard the splashing sound of water behind him.

He stopped, eyebrows slightly furrowed, and after a brief hesitation, walked closer to the riverbank.

There’s always some risk when females bathe here.

If any wild beasts sneak up, or if rival tribes are spying, the consequences are unimaginable.

He needed to keep watch, to ensure safety, not because he wanted to peek.

He raised his eyes and saw Seraphina Caldwell half submerged in water, her reflection cast upon the shimmering river surface.

Her long deep purple hair was wet, draped over her shoulders.

She had a slender waist, her figure tall and elegant.

The sunlight illuminated her face in a subtle blush, lips lightly pursed, eyelashes lowered, lacking her usual sharpness.

At that instant, his breath tightened.

Until Seraphina raised a hand to wipe her face, droplets splattering, he suddenly snapped back to reality.

He swiftly averted his gaze, daring not to look again, his ears instantly turning red.

Just as Gideon hastily turned away, the water surface suddenly erupted with a loud crash.

The sound was intense.

He spun around abruptly, pupils contracting, his heart nearly stopping in that instant.

He saw a massive dark figure soaring up from the water behind Seraphina.

Although its shape resembled a crocodile.

Its size was several times larger than an average crocodile.

The entire body was covered in heavy scale armor like iron, a long tail robust and powerful like a giant snake.

A blood-red mouth snapped open, jaws as tall as half a person, lined with rows of sharp teeth.

The gaping maw hurtled towards Seraphina’s back, its speed was astonishing, closing in on her head almost in the blink of an eye!

"Watch out!"

Gideon roared out, his voice twisted and distorted by extreme tension.

His body exploded with intense energy fluctuations, completing a beastly transformation in an extremely short time.

He powered forward with all four paws, gouging four deep trenches into the ground.

Then he dashed towards the riverbank like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Seraphina felt a sudden gust of pungent cold air at her back.

Even the damp heat brushed her neck, causing her scalp to prickle.

Instinctively she spun around, eyes not yet fully focused, facing an extremely ferocious face.

In that instant, all the hairs on her body stood on end.

She instinctively wanted to retreat, but unfortunately, her foot got stuck against a protruding rock on the riverbed, twisting her ankle.

Instantly she lost her balance.

With a splash, she fell sitting into the icy river.

The water surged up, reaching chest level.

She watched helplessly as the chilling teeth drew closer and closer.

Her throat felt like it was being strangled by an invisible hand, unable to breathe, finally managing only to squeeze out a heart-wrenching scream.

All the beast husbands, whether busy or resting, stopped their actions, turning their heads uniformly.

It was a Green Rank Dire Beast, the Great Viperdile.

Such terrifying creatures usually reside in deep waters, rarely appearing in such shallow and narrow rivers.

They prefer darkness and fear light, skilled in stealth attacks, often feeding on prey drinking at the water’s edge.

Precisely because of this, no one expected to encounter such a beast here.

And the target was clearly the defenseless Female Master.

The few males present weren’t exactly top-tier, their overall battle strength weak.

The strongest among them was Isaac Vaughn, but he was merely at the Green Rank level.

This meant that only Isaac had the power to face the Green Rank Great Viperdile.

The others were either too low level, unable to combat High Rank Dire Beasts.

Or their attributes clashed, not adept at fighting in water, approaching recklessly would only lead to death.

But the Great Viperdile was clearly targeting Seraphina.

Whether or not these beast husbands were strong enough or could swim, they had no choice now.

They had to risk their lives to save her.

Evan Orwell spun around abruptly, his eyes full of urgency.

He raised his hand trying to unleash spiritual power, attempting to disrupt the Great Viperdile’s movements with telekinesis.

Wyatt Yardley’s gaze turned cold, his dark red pupils narrowing slightly.

In the next instant, a silvery white light shot out from beneath his feet.

The silver white giant snake had a body as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the sky and the water. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Kaelan Hawthorne completely shed his usual lazy and carefree demeanor, his expression suddenly fierce.

But the person closest to Seraphina was Isaac Vaughn.

He had been probing the surroundings underwater, eyes narrowed.

Suddenly, a violent disturbance occurred below the water.

The Great Viperdile first surfaced, a pungent stench hitting him directly.

Logically, he should have been immediately alert, reacted quickly.

Yet in that instant, his gaze froze.

Seraphina was emerging from the water, wet black hair sticking to her shoulders.

He should have acted immediately, but seeing Seraphina exposed like that, his brain seemed to be struck hard by something.

Stunned in place, he forgot to move.

At this moment, the defiance and aggression usually present in Seraphina’s eyes were absent, replaced by pure fear.

This sight caused Isaac’s heart to clench tightly.

Just because of this moment of hesitation, disaster had already struck.

The Great Viperdile’s teeth cut through the water, casting a chilling light, accompanied by a chilling hiss.

In the instant flesh was torn, blood gushed out.

Seraphina gasped in pain, her body shuddering violently.

She clenched her teeth, enduring the intense pain, yet dared not pause even a bit.

She struggled to lunge towards Isaac.

"Isaac! Save me! I’ll offer you three drops of blood! Just save me!"

She knew well that Isaac cared most about finding a way to break the Contract.

At this moment, using "blood offering to break the contract" as a bargaining chip was the only chance to compel him to act.

Isaac, seeing the panic in her eyes, hearing the desperate plea, suddenly snapped awake.

No more hesitating!

He glanced at the wound on her arm, blood continuously seeping out, dripping down her arm.

Even more infuriating to him was that the Great Viperdile was once again lunging at Seraphina’s neck!

In a flash, Isaac’s purple eyes ignited with raging fire.

He no longer hesitated, his tail fin slammed the water’s surface.

With a splash, a column of water rose half as tall as a person.

He grabbed her by the arm, pulling her forcefully towards him.

"Hold onto me!"

Isaac’s voice practically ground out through clenched teeth.
