I Became the Villainess, But My Beast Husbands Can Hear My Mind?! Chapter 116: A Bad Feeling (2)
Before anyone could say anything, Roxanna rushed toward their hut, almost like she was running. When she arrived, she hissed when she saw a headless corpse—probably Vino’s—lying near their beds.
It looked creepy, but Roxanna felt more annoyed because the beds had gotten dirty with blood. She had to tell her husbands to clean this ss imdiately before their beds got ruined.
She didn’t want to deal with that right now, so she forced herself to ignore it. Holding her breath, Roxanna walked past the corpse and headed straight for the bedroom, trying her best not to look at the body again.
She knocked on the door three tis. "Calen?" she called. "Calen, are you awake?"
She waited outside for at least two minutes before finally deciding to just open the door. At that mont, she saw Calen still lying on the bed, and it looked like he was still asleep.
However, she realized that his sleeping position hadn’t changed at all. He was still curled to the right, exactly the way Roxanna had seen him before she left the hut a while ago.
"Calen?" She slowly walked toward the bed. "Calen, wake up."
When Calen still didn’t respond, Roxanna bent down and touched his foot. Her face instantly changed. "Shit... you’re so cold!"
She jerked her hand back in shock. It felt like she had just touched a block of ice, and that terrible feeling imdiately brought back a mory when she lived through the snowstorm apocalypse, when cold could kill people faster than hunger.
"Calen! Calen!" Her voice trembled as panic rose in her chest. "Can you hear ?!" She rushed closer and began patting his cheeks again and again, hoping he would wake up.
His skin felt extrely cold, and when Roxanna pressed her ear to Calen’s chest, she could barely hear his heartbeat.
With trembling hands, she cut her wrist to draw her blood. Without saying anything, she imdiately opened Calen’s mouth and forced him to drink her blood.
Her heart was pounding wildly. [Please... please work.]
If Calen was sick, then her blood should heal him. That was what she always believed. At least, that was what she desperately wanted to believe right now.
But even after five long minutes, Calen still didn’t wake up. In fact, his body didn’t even react to her blood at all. It was as if her blood couldn’t heal him anymore.
Roxanna’s breath trembled. Tears suddenly spilled down her cheeks as fear swallowed her whole. [No... I can’t lose him.]
In panic, she ran out of the hut. The mont she saw Zeir standing nearby, she shouted with a broken voice, "Zeir! Zeir! Co here! Calen... sothing is wrong with Calen!"
Her other husbands heard her scream too, and they imdiately rushed into the hut.
Azul was the last one to enter the bedroom, and the second he stepped inside and saw blood around Calen’s face, his eyes widened in shock. "Did... did soone behead him?!" Azul cried out, his voice full of fear.
"You idiot! That’s just Roxanna’s blood!" Luan snapped at him.
"It’s not working!" Roxanna cried, her voice shaking.
She turned to Zeir desperately, her face wet with tears. "Zeir... my blood isn’t working!" she said in panic. "Is it possible that my blood can’t heal injuries anymore?"
Zeir also cut his hand and let Roxanna’s blood drip onto his wound. Within a short ti, his wound closed, proving that her blood could still work properly.
So then, why wasn’t it working on Calen?
[Host, the system can scan Calen’s entire body, but you need to pay 15,000 SP.]
[Do you want to—]
"Yes! Yes! Just do it!" Roxanna shouted without thinking. She didn’t even realize she said it out loud, but she was too scared to care.
[Purchased dical assistant: 15,000 SP]
[Remaining Spirit Points (SP): 97,000]
The mont the system finished its purchase confirmation, a bright panel appeared in front of Roxanna’s eyes.
[Ding! Initiating full-body scan...]
A thin layer of blue light seed to move across Calen’s body, from head to toe. It was like the system was checking every inch of him, whether it was his skin, his blood, even the air around him.
Roxanna’s hands clenched tightly. "Please..." she whispered. "Please tell what’s happening."
Then the system finally spoke again.
[Ding! Scan complete.]
[Condition detected: Sudden Surge of Blockade Magic.]
Roxanna’s eyes widened. Blockade magic? That na sounded dangerous.
"What... what does that an?" she asked quickly, pacing back and forth inside the room. She was biting her fingers and accidentally made them bleed when panic hit her again and again.
The system didn’t answer her questions right away. It continued in its cold, emotionless tone.
[Explanation: Blockade magic is attempting to erupt from Calen’s body.]
[The magic surge is linked to his shift animal form.]
His animal form? What was happening? It seed like he could still transform into a dog easily yesterday.
[Warning: The surge occurred too suddenly, so his body cannot withstand the rapid output.]
[Symptoms:
- Body temperature dropping rapidly
- Heartbeat becoming weak
- Loss of consciousness
- Risk of organ failure
- High probability of death if untreated]
Roxanna felt like the world tilted. Her ears rang, and her chest tightened so hard it hurt.
"Death..." she repeated, as if she couldn’t understand the word. "No," she whispered. "No, no, no, there has to be a way!"
"Roxanna, what is happening here?" Zeir caught her hand, demanding that she explain.
Roxanna looked at Zeir for a mont, and then she realized that she had been talking to the system out loud this whole ti. "I-I—"
"We know you can talk to sothing invisible," Luan cut her off quickly. "But that’s not important right now. Tell us what’s happening to Calen, so we can do sothing to save him."
Roxanna swallowed hard. Her throat felt dry, like she had swallowed sand. "I... I asked the-the invisible thing to scan him," Roxanna said, her voice shaking. "It said... sothing inside Calen is trying to co out."
