Chapter 305: Serves him right
Chapter 305: Serves him right
Dian and Yanai were especially furious. That damned snake had actually gotten ahead of them.
Usually, he stayed silent and low-key, but apparently, he had been secretly preparing a devastating move all along.
Lex tightly clenched the pearl necklace in his hand. Even the black serpent had successfully risen in status now, yet the necklace he wanted to give Nina still had never left his hands.
Setan also felt bitter inside. That serpent had overtaken him from behind.
Clearly, he had met Nina first. Yet now the serpent had already become Nina’s beast husband, while he himself barely counted as an ordinary friend.
His fingers unconsciously brushed over the pearl necklace he had painstakingly crafted overnight.
He wanted so badly to place it around Nina’s neck himself.
Odian stepped forward and reached out to take Nina from Idir’s arms, but Idir clearly did not want to let go.
Only after Nina lightly patted him did he reluctantly hand her over.
Odian then carried Nina to Dian and said gently, "Nina, let Dian take you back to rest first. We’ll have a little talk with Idir."
Nina parted her lips slightly, but in the end said nothing.
Originally, she had wanted to tell them not to hit too hard. But based on her experience, she strongly suspected that if she said that aloud, the beast husbands would only hit harder.
Dian carefully accepted Nina into his arms and carried her back toward the palace. The babies bounced along happily behind them while Ming and the others carried Mimi inside as well.
Momo glanced at Idir, frowned his tiny brows, then silently flew inside too.
The moment Nina disappeared into the palace, Odian turned around.
The warmth instantly vanished from his eyes, replaced by sharp hostility. Without another word, he attacked Idir directly. The other beast husbands swarmed in immediately afterward.
Idir dodged the first strike and spoke quickly,
"Let’s agree beforehand—don’t hit my face this time. Nina will get angry if you do."
The beast husbands’ expressions darkened instantly.
This damned snake was showing off his good looks and bragging about how much Nina doted on him.
Fine.
Today, they were absolutely going to beat him until even he could not recognize himself.
As a result, the attacks became even more vicious, and every single one targeted his face.
Yanai hit the hardest. After all, he should have been ahead of the snake.
Of course, despite their anger, they still controlled their strength. They all knew that since Idir had successfully mated with Nina, it meant he had received her approval.
From now on, he was officially one of them.
Still, the fact that he had secretly abducted Nina enraged them.
Lex watched Idir being surrounded and beaten, and unexpectedly... felt jealous.
If becoming Nina’s beast husband meant getting beaten every day, he would willingly accept it too.
He truly wanted to know what method the serpent had used. Maybe he should become bolder too. More proactive.
Setan muttered a sour "Serves him right," before entering the palace.
Inside the room, Dian carried Nina to the bed and gently removed her shoes.
"Nina, you must be exhausted. I’ll give you a massage later."
He had secretly learned massage techniques from Odian and the others.
When he noticed the obvious marks scattered across Nina’s neck and collarbone, he silently grumbled inwardly.
That stupid snake clearly had no restraint at all. He must have exhausted Nina terribly.
Though honestly... Dian also felt a little jealous. After all, he and Nina had only shared that one night together.
After removing her shoes, Dian washed his hands carefully before returning to her side.
"Nina, where do you want me to massage first?" he asked softly.
Nina took his hand and gently pulled him down beside her. "Dian... I mated with Idir first. Are you upset?"
She truly felt guilty toward him over this matter.
Dian shook his head immediately. "No. As long as it’s your decision, I’ll support it."
He knew Nina must have had her reasons. Otherwise, she would never have told Yanai to wait for him before.
Though he was angry at the serpent, he held absolutely no resentment toward Nina. Besides, the delay in their mating was ultimately his own issue.
How could he blame Nina for that? If anyone deserved blame, it was only that damned snake.
Even if, after he recovered, Nina still wanted Idir to mate first, he would never complain.
Nina pulled him down to sit beside her.
"I’m sorry. You’ve been wronged this time."
Dian smiled softly and leaned into her embrace, wrapping his arms around her as he shamelessly acted spoiled.
"Nina, I’m really not wronged at all. But if you’re willing... then pamper me more in the future, okay?"
Preferably by visiting his room more often. And taking him everywhere she went. Ideally, she could just keep him tucked in her pocket forever.
These days, he spent most of his time in the sea. Only when he missed Nina unbearably would he briefly leave.
Being apart from her made every single day feel painfully long. He wished she could carry him with her every second.
Nina pinched his soft, dewy cheek and laughed. "Alright then. How exactly do you want me to pamper you?"
Dian looked up at her, his bright eyes sparkling.
"I want you to..."
Suddenly, he lifted his head and kissed her lightly.
"...pamper me like this."
Nina chuckled softly, lifted his chin, and kissed him properly.
Dian tightened his arms around her and eagerly returned the kiss.
Only after a long while did they finally separate.
Completely satisfied, Dian then carefully gave Nina a full-body massage.
Meanwhile, outside, the beast husbands were still fighting fiercely.
Rosen and Lani had just arrived when they saw the chaotic brawl.
Lani walked over to Lex. "What are they fighting about?"
Lex answered gloomily, "Look at Idir’s forehead."
Rosen and Lani looked over and instantly understood.
Rosen’s eyes lit up with delight. "Nina came back already?"
"Mm. Dian carried her inside to rest," Lex replied.
"Then I’m going to see her."
Rosen happily hurried inside. Her Nina truly was incredible. She had gone out once and returned with another powerful beast husband.
So that was why Idir took Nina away yesterday...
He could at least have said something instead of making her worry the entire night.
Even though Odian had updated her afterward, she still could not stop worrying.
Lani patted Lex’s shoulder. "Father is going to check on Nina first. Later, come with me to the Abyss of Darkness. The guards stationed there reported that something seems abnormal."
"Alright. I’ll go with you." Lex followed Lani inside.
The moment Rosen entered the room, she saw Nina and Dian cuddling together intimately.
An immediate auntie smile spread across her face.
Oh my.
Her Dian was actually quite skilled at serving his mate.
Dian really was clever. Unlike Lex, who had made no progress whatsoever after all this time.
Clearly, she had spoiled him too much growing up, turning him overly proud and aloof. Now he barely even knew how to pursue a female properly.
Lex, who arrived moments later, also saw the scene. The envy in his eyes was impossible to hide.
That bratty younger brother of his was clearly very favored too.
Meanwhile, Lani looked deeply satisfied.
At this rate, it probably would not be long before he had another grandbaby.
