There was no change at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow of worry crept across Odian’s brow. \"Nina... even the staff couldn’t break it. I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay,\" Nina said gently, reassuring him. \"We’ll figure something out later. There’s always a way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian hesitated, then asked quietly, \"Nina... that dark wizard—did he ever take your heart’s blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curses formed with heart’s blood were notoriously difficult to remove. He had a strong feeling that this was exactly the kind she was suffering from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Nina replied. \"When I was very young.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain flashed across Odian’s eyes. He pulled her into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina... I won’t let anyone hurt you ever again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina returned the embrace softly. \"Thank you. I’ll protect myself too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...and the children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, Odian spoke again, \"Nina... maybe we shouldn’t go to Sea Blue City for now. Come back with me to the Phoenix clan instead. I’ll have the elder priest take a look—he might have a solution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina hesitated. \"...Let me think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Little Bun still couldn’t find an answer later, then she would go. This curse was a ticking threat. It had to be removed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Odian led her back to the cave to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, they set out according to plan, heading toward the territory of the flame beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, both Hilan’s group and Drago’s group followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Nina separated from Rosen and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, be careful,\" Rosen urged. \"Stay safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will. You too,\" Nina replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief farewell, Nina moved ahead. The moment she left, Lex and Dian tried to sneak after her, only to be caught immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where do you think you’re going?\" Lani barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two froze, glaring at him with guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to follow Nina?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lani saw right through them. \"You know that environment is unfavorable for our merfolk. Why go and hold them back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to be apart from Sister Nina!\" Dian pleaded. \"Father, let me go. I have ice abilities—I won’t be a burden. I can even help cool things down for her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of being separated from her for days made his chest ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at Lex. \"Brother is still injured. Let him stay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lex shot him a glare. \"Father, I want to go too. My leg is mostly healed—it won’t affect me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosen chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s enough. Dian can go—his ability will help Nina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then pulled Lex back. \"You stay. Your leg isn’t fully healed. And if we lose contact, we can rely on your bloodline connection to find her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they had a rendezvous planned, it was better to have a backup anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother...\" Lex protested unwillingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve made my decision.\" Her tone left no room for argument. \"Flinn, send two eagle clan warriors to accompany Dian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flinn nodded and immediately arranged for two powerful eagle warriors to escort him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dian quickly set off after Nina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lex watched his brother disappear into the distance, frustration burning in his chest—before reluctantly turning back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as his mother said no, there was no sneaking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for Dian to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina was a little surprised to see him, but said nothing—only reminded him to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded eagerly, falling into step beside her, delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they entered the territory of the flame beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air grew hotter with every step. Heat shimmered in waves across the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dian stayed close to Nina, working together with Mino.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One used ice, the other used wind, alternating their abilities to regulate the temperature around her, so that she could remain comfortable, even in the rising, oppressive heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They picked up speed, deliberately drawing Hilan and Drago’s groups deeper into the flame beasts’ territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, flame beasts began to emerge from all directions—closing in, surrounding them, and launching attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron exchanged a glance with Odian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina turned to Sal and the others. \"When you kill the flame beasts, collect their bodies if you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just checked—these creatures were highly valuable. Selling them to the system would help Little Bun level up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it,\" Sal replied. Then he looked at Odian. \"Protect Nina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phoenix nodded and immediately brought Nina and the children over to Setan’s group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please protect Nina and the children for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blazing Lion clan could form fire-resistant shields—perfect for shielding them from the flame beasts’ attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry,\" Setan said. \"We’ll keep them safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, the lion clan males surged forward eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little female, I’ll carry you! I’m eighth-rank—very strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me do it—I’m fire-elemental. My shield is safer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crowded around, each volunteering enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all assumed Setan wouldn’t step in, so everyone rushed to offer themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina hesitated, unsure whom to choose. Setan frowned slightly and waved them aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough. I’ll do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These fools,he thought,acting like starving wolves at the sight of prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lion warriors were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when did their city lord change like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always avoided close contact with females.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setan stepped closer, his expression slightly stiff. \"I’ll carry you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina nodded. It made no difference to her—as long as someone helped protect the children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wrapped a strong arm around her waist and pulled her close. The moment her soft, warm body pressed against him, Setan shivered faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flush crept across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So soft... so warm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but take a quiet breath. There was something about her scent—something that drew him in, inexplicably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina stiffened for a brief moment at the contact, too, but then relaxed. She had expected something more... practical. Being carried like this hadn’t crossed her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t this be slower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the thought formed, she suddenly felt herself lifted into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened in surprise. A pair of huge blazing wings formed behind Setan’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can fly?She wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world truly was full of surprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her reaction, Setan explained quietly, \"These are formed from my ability—they are not real wings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina nodded, her attention drifting away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, that ability was incredibly useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her gaze left him, Setan felt a strange flicker of disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying her, he quickly moved away from the danger zone, with Odian and Finch guarding nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, a group of flame beasts appeared ahead. Three of them radiated particularly powerful auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian and Finch immediately moved to intercept them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take Nina and go,\" Odian commanded. \"Leave this to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to be brought somewhere safe first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\" Setan didn’t hesitate. With Nina in his arms, he surged forward—leaving the battlefield behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunt had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And behind them, the trap was closing.\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-06-03T08:29:56.682Z","2026-06-03T08:30:03.515Z",1,"novelbin.me","c732d570afff410031ce8dd14813ca560035a5e5a2198f367d896d0065dd86c0","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-195","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-193",299,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-cover.jpg"]
