Trapped in Beast World: My Husbands Are All Animals! Novel

Chapter 157 The One He Protects Pfft! +5 Free Coins At last, the blood clogging Colin's throat burst out. He collapsed to the ground, dropping to his knees as he gasped desperately for breath. Dark red stains spread across his back. He had reached his limit-his vision went black once more. The two elders exchanged stunned looks. What is going on right now? A failed breakthrough and a collapse are one thing-but how does it end with him obsessing over that kind of female? Colin was the pride of the divine realm. Any female would have been within his reach.

So are we mistaken about what we saw earlier? The one acting so clingy is actually Mr. Pierson? Esme felt pain tightening her chest, yet she forced herself not to reveal it. At least Colin hadn't lashed out at her before. It seemed to her that Ardenia truly was special. Esme had grown up beside Colin and had never once seen him behave like this toward anyone. A wave of sour bitterness surged through her heart. Stepping forward, Esme reached out to help Colin stand, but the instant her fingers closed around his hand, he shoved her away.

"Who gave you permission to touch me?" His throat burned again, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. Perhaps recalling Ardenia's earlier words, he turned his eyes toward Eliza, who was struggling to crawl out of the ditch. "Clean it. Leave not a single trace behind. If you can't wipe it spotless, don't bother returning." Eliza shook as she obeyed, her cheeks burning with humiliation. She glanced desperately at Esme, but Esme could do nothing for her. "Which one of you started talking first?" Colin lowered himself into the spot Ardenia had just vacated.

After speaking, his gaze shifted to the two elders. With only that look, both of them fell to their knees. "Mr. Pierson..." "Treat seeing her as seeing me. There must not be a next time." His voice was steady-too steady, carrying a hint of dangerous madness. After that, Colin raised a hand and pointed at one elder. "We'll let today slide. You're going to the Demon Abyss to hunt several rhinoceros and deliver them. One of her mates is a merfolk whose level dropped.

Rhinoceros meat will help him recover faster." 1/3 12:43 Wed, Jan 21 M Chapter 157 The One He Protects 51 45 Free Coins Rhinoceros meat was rich in energy, nearly comparable to beast cores. However, rhinoceros were rare, cunning, and notoriously difficult to capture. He had killed one before, but at the time, he only wanted the beast core and discarded the meat without hesitation. The elder listened in shock. Has Mr. Pierson also taken an interest in that female's mate? Does he even understand what he is doing? Colin had no interest in the elder's thoughts.

Seeing him remain kneeling without moving, Colin's aura turned icy. "Have my words lost their effect?" "I'll go right now!" The elder scrambled away in panic, nearly tripping over his own feet. Eliza no longer dared act arrogant either. Her face was so swollen it was almost unrecognizable. Trembling, she knelt down and scrubbed away the blood. This was absolute humiliation. She was going to report everything to her aunt. Esme barely dared breathe, standing silently to the side. She had always believed herself special-engaged to him since childhood, allowed to call him by his name.

She respected him and loved him, yet he chose that lower-realm ogre instead, even helping outsiders trample over her and her sister. Unable to hold it in, tears slid down Esme's face. When she heard he was injured, she had begged her family to let her come here to care for him, but now... "Leave. Go as far as you can." Colin's patience was gone. He had already restrained himself earlier. "Colin..." Esme tried once more, but Colin lifted his eyes to her. They were dark and turbulent like a brewing storm. He let out a cold laugh.

"Are you walking back on your own, or do you want me to personally escort you?" "I'll take Eliza and leave immediately. Colin, rest well." She couldn't endure another second. The air here felt suffocating and poisonous. In the past, even when Colin was distant, he had never treated her this way. Swallowing her resentiment, Esme straightened her back, grabbed Eliza, and pulled her away, Once the irritating people were gone, Colin finally lost the strength to hold on. Inside the kitchen, Ardenia handed dozens of beast cores to Quincy. He was ecstatic.

With this much power, he would be unstoppable. The first thing he planned to do once he reached that level was to 2/3 12:43 Wed, Jan 21 MG Chapter 157 The One He Protects challenge Stephan to a duel. 11 +5 Free Coins Ardenia kept four large baskets of beast cores for herself. With these reserves, she could slow down and stop scrambling around just to earn small amounts. She intended to distribute five baskets among her mates-but Halden's expression looked particularly grim. Halden said flatly, "These are for you." "I already kept some," Ardenia replied.

"You can split the remaining baskets..." Her voice grew quieter as she spoke. She couldn't help it. If she could avoid risking the Demon Abyss, she absolutely would. Even though her technique could heal injuries, having her body torn apart still hurt unbearably. "Thank you, Ardenia. I'll absorb them properly," Vesper said. His ears flushed bright red. Niall clicked his tongue, scooped up several beast cores, and slipped them into his coat. He understood- he understood everything. "I'll absorb first," Niall added. "If you need more later, come find me.

I've got energy to spare." Ardenia fell silent. Vesper's eyes widened. So even that shameless fox knows too? Tobias crossed his arms and leaned against the side, paying no attention to the beast cores at all. His gaze remained fixed in the direction where Colin had been earlier. Is it just my imagination? 3/3 2 12:43 Wed, Jan 21 M Chapter 158 Unexpected Temptation Chapter 158 Unexpected Temptation 51 +5 Free Coins Tobias was certain the long black serpent stirred a sense of familiarity in him, yet he couldn't recall where that feeling came from.

Even the two elderly men standing behind it stirred a strange sense of recognition in him, as though he had encountered them somewhere in the past. "Tobias, what's the matter with you?" Ardenia followed the direction of his gaze and realized he was looking toward where Colin stood. She remembered Scott mentioning that Tobias and Colin shared similar auras. She already knew Tobias' true identity from the scroll, but Tobias definitely didn't have wings. "I was distracted. I was wondering whether my little female would like him." Ardenia shook her head firmly.

"If I didn't have my ability, all of you would still be lying flat on the ground. Don't let the number of beast cores fool you. If things had truly gone south, nothing would have saved anyone." Even now, recalling what happened yesterday left Ardenia shaken. She wasn't someone who enjoyed pain or danger. She understood her limits very clearly-what she could absorb and what she absolutely could not. Colin was aggressive, easily provoked, and emotionally volatile. In the modern world, males like that would be labeled classic abusers. Rule number one was simple-never engage with strangers.

That was why she deliberately kept her distance. Niall was the fastest, grabbing the basket that was the fullest. Tobias came right after him. Well, creatures of the Demon Abyss, you can stay alive-for the moment. Let me take in all of this first. After that, I'll deal with you properly. Time is plentiful, and I'm in no hurry. These beast cores are merely the beginning. Besides, Ardenia already says she dislikes that long black serpent. Makes sense-she already has one at home, so why would she want another long black serpent? Especially that irritating one.

That black serpent doesn't show her an ounce of respect. Spit. Asking him to compensate us with just a few beast cores is already a bargain. Calder is still hiding somewhere, all because of that long black serpent. Vesper also prepared to leave. Before he went, Ardenia gathered some of her everyday items and handed them to him. "Keep these at your place. If I come over, it'll be more convenient." What? Niall instantly picked up on the key detail and rushed back. 1/3 Liam Prescott
