His voice was low, edged with a cool, magnetic clarity—each syllable firm, decisive, and impossible to argue with. He didn’t need to raise his voice; the sheer weight of his presence pressed down naturally, commanding attention the moment he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Nix wth clear gaze. \"So,\" Vincent asked mildly, \"have you enjoyed playing with me these past few days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who wasplayingwith him? That wastaking careof him, all right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Nix could defend himself, Vincent continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My apologies. That was poorly worded. Nix, you took very good care of me during that time. You have my sincere thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing those words didn’t make Nix feel relieved in the slightest. Instead, his scalp prickled with unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eyed Vincent warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Second Prince—someone who had grown up on the battlefield, ruthless and decisive, known for swift and merciless action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who offended him had never ended well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness,\" Nix said carefully, \"we’re both beasts bonded to the Female Master now. You can’t just attack me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a mech, he stood absolutely no chance against Vincent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prince flicked him an indifferent glance, his expression unchanged. \"Why are you so tense? I said I was thanking you. I never said I was settling accounts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix remembered all too clearly that when they’d first met, he’d treated Vincent like an actual bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d even tied him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasno waythis man was simply feeling grateful. Letting him off alive already felt like mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t need thanks,\" Nix said quickly. \"We’re all bound to the Female Master now. That makes us family. Just... please take good care of me in the future, Your Highness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Vincent replied with a solemn nod. \"I’ll takeverygood care of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all... One hundred thousand warships. One million mechs. Wasn’t that excellent support for Nix’s business ventures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent didn’t spare Nix another glance. He turned and walked toward the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only once he disappeared did Nix finally let out a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately opened his light-brain and sent Jasper a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix:Jasper, huge news—do you know who Burnt Dumpling really is?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Tier-Ten freaks from the Purple Obsidian Serpent Clan were already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper was in the middle of inventorying their assets, selecting the best pieces to bring back for Rory and leaving the rest for his elder brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the message, Jasper calmly tapped a reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper:I know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix:You know?! You actually knew?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he hadn’t told him—or the Female Master?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper:I found out last time, when the Alliance incident happened. Didn’t I tell you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix:When did you tell me?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper:Sorry. I was busy. I forgot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix:...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somethingthis big—and he forgot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel had just finished showing Rory her room. He gently set her down on the bed and picked up the nightwear he had prepared for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory,\" he said softly, \"you’ve been busy all day. You must be exhausted. Shall I help you bathe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory stared at the pitiful scraps of fabric in his hands. Her mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was even worse than Jasper. At least the sleepwear Jasper prepared—though a little too sexy—was still wearable. What in the world wasthis?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Rory refused decisively. \"I’m cultivating tonight. I’ll bathe after I’m done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that she planned to cultivate, Yuel felt a pang of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been hoping to see her wear those outfits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like tonight isn’t the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock, knock, knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bedroom door was rapped on lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent’s voice came from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lady... may I come in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she even saw him, Rory’s face flushed at the sound of his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hadn’t they agreed he wouldn’t call her that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel glanced at her reddened cheeks and seemed to understand something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s what she likes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rose to his feet, smiling warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, Vincent has only just recovered. He probably has something important to discuss with you. I’ll head back to my room to sort things out. I won’t disturb you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory did want to know why Vincent had come. She nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should rest early too. I’ll feed you blood tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel sighed helplessly. On matters like this, Rory never listened to him. Whether as a bonded partner or a companion, all he could do was follow her lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right,\" he agreed gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked over and opened the door for Vincent, murmuring in a low voice as he passed him, \"Didn’t expect you to be so... playful, Your Highness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent frowned slightly as Yuel walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playful about what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room, Rory had just taken out the beast cores she needed for cultivation when Vincent stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her, fists clenched tightly at his sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fe—Female Master... I...\" He started reluctantly. How was he supposed to explain everything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory turned to face him. This time, Vincent stood clearly before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharp brows like they’d been carved with a blade. Eyes slightly lifted at the corners, carrying a lazy allure—yet when his gaze settled, it shone like cold stars, piercing enough to make one look away instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, his perfectly tailored clothes emphasizing every line. There was no deliberate display, yet he radiated a refined elegance, as if moonlight flowed over polished jade—every inch shaped by time, restrained and distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dangerous, dazzling, and breathtaking all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So striking that it almost hurt to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory felt, for a fleeting moment, an unexpected sense of inferiority. She nearly wanted to enshrine him. To worship him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master?\" Seeing her stare in silence, Vincent grew even more nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single title snapped Rory back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What nonsense—worship? No matter how handsome or powerful he was, he was still her bonded partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem.\" She cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment. \"Didn’t we agree you’d call me by my name? Why are you calling me Female Master again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent’s eyes lit up instantly. \"You’re still willing to let me call you Rory? I thought you were angry... angry that I hid the fact that I was Burnt Dumpling, and that you didn’t want to hear me call your name anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory hadn’t been angry at all. But since he brought it up... Maybe she should be, just a little. Men needed to be kept in check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression turned serious. \"Iamrather upset, actually. Why did you hide it from me? Even Yuel didn’t hide anything from me—and he literally turned into a stick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent wasn’t as shameless as Yuel. That man would do anything short of crossing a true bottom line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent looked at her anxiously. \"I was afraid you’d despise me. My appearance... it was too ugly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really think I’m that shallow?\" Rory walked up to him and looked up into his eyes. \"If I’d cared about looks, I wouldn’t have brought you back with me at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, Rory. I was wrong.\" Vincent apologized sincerely. \"Please don’t drive me away. Let me stay by your side. I swear to the Beast God—I will never hide anything from you again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the attitude Rory wanted. She smiled and reached up to touch his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re a bonded partner chosen for me by the Beast God himself. Unlessyouwant to dissolve the bond, I would never send you away. You didn’t do anything unforgivable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1248,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","9abcaff395a5dcbc7f7d274a085334b3e3082fc151e0a99f20c07d96776e5225","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-117","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-115",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
