Who was he talking about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, I’m going back,\" Nix said suddenly. \"I want to watch Rory carving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he bolted out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper stood up as well. \"I’m going to make dinner for Rory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\" Xarion stopped him with a quiet voice. \"I want the first turn next time. If you don’t agree,\" he added lazily, \"I’ll tell the Female Master and Nix that you cheated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he didn’t know exactly how Jasper had done it, Xarion was absolutely certain he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this house, aside from Nix, not a single one of them was easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fine,\" Jasper said at last. \"I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Bedroom\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piece of wood in Rory’s hands had begun to take shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her work, Nix frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory... is that a little person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the rough outline, it looked like two small figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory nodded. \"Yep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why are there two?\" Nix asked, puzzled. \"Isn’t the gift for Yuel? There’s only one Yuel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory smiled and explained, \"This one is me, and this one is Yuel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix’s eyes widened. \"You can do it like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he immediately added, \"Then mine has to include you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" Rory agreed easily. She had already thought of how she would carve Nix’s piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Jasper arrived carrying dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he entered, Nix very consciously stood up and left Rory’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, eat dinner first,\" Jasper said gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed the dishes neatly on the table before walking over and glancing at the wooden figurine Rory was carving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, this figurine is really beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory had just picked up her fork when she heard Jasper’s comment. She looked up at him in astonishment. \"You think it looks beautiful... already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piece of wood in her hands was still only a rough outline. At most, one could barely make out a head and a body. How could that possibly be considered beautiful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper nodded seriously. \"It does.\" Anything Rory made was beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood immediately. \"Jasper, do you want one too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix must have told him that she was carving a figurine for Yuel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I?\" Jasper asked, his eyes full of quiet anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\" Rory nodded readily. She had already promised one to Nix—if she didn’t give one to Jasper as well, he would surely feel hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were making gifts, she might as well make one for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though I don’t have extra wood right now,\" she added. \"I’ll need to buy more materials when we return before I can carve yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine, Rory. I can wait. I’m not in a hurry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which, of course, was a lie. In truth, he was very eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he had said he wasn’t in a rush, Rory naturally took him at his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, being impatient wouldn’t change anything now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Rory finished eating, Jasper quickly cleared the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he washed up carefully and returned to her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory,\" he said, \"Xarion, Nix, and I have already discussed everything. Tonight I’ll stay with you. Tomorrow night will be Xarion’s turn, and the night after that, Nix’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely this way, they wouldn’t end up simply lying quietly on the bed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory had no objections to their arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suffered from terrible decision paralysis anyway—if they left the choice to her, she truly wouldn’t know who to pick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you’ve agreed on that, that’s fine,\" she said. \"I’ll go take a shower first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Rory disappear into the bathroom, Jasper immediately took out the clothes he had brought and changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Rory stepped out again, dressed in a soft nightgown and still faintly scented from her bath, Jasper was already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay across the bed, half-man and half-serpent, a sheer violet gauze draped loosely over his body. Beneath the translucent fabric, his dark purple serpent tail curved languidly, its scales glinting faintly in the soft light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw her, Jasper lifted himself slightly and slid across the bed. His tail moved with a gentle sway, drawing Rory into his arms and guiding her onto the mattress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory,\" he murmured softly, \"I’ve learned how to dance. Would you like me to dance for you tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had learned long ago—he simply hadn’t found the right moment to show her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory leaned back against the headboard. Her gaze fell to Jasper’s dark violet tail, barely visible beneath the gauzy veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to resist, she reached out and brushed her fingers lightly over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she nodded eagerly. \"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Jasper released her, the violet gauze rippled like spring water stirred by a midnight breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper’s serpent tail swayed slowly, the thin gauze rising and falling with its motion. Beneath the translucent veil, dark violet scales appeared and vanished in the shifting folds of fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the soft light spilled across them, each scale seemed to hold a fragment of starlight, reflecting deep, mysterious hues like a miniature galaxy rippling across his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory watched without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she felt as though she had been enchanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper’s deep eyes remained fixed on her, unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cool tip of his scaled tail slid gently against her calf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly—so slowly it was almost torturous—it traced the curve of her leg, inch by inch, gliding upward along her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation was cool and smooth, a striking contrast to the warmth of her body. Everywhere the tail brushed, a fine shiver rippled through her nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper leaned closer, lowering himself beside her. When he spoke near her ear, his voice was low and husky, laced with a teasing warmth. His breath brushed softly against the sensitive edge of her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory... do you like it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like it. I like it very much.\" Rory lifted her arms and looped them around his neck. Just as her lips were about to meet his—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden wave of overwhelming drowsiness crashed over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper had already been stirred by her reaction, waiting for the kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Rory leaned close enough to touch him, she suddenly went still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice turned slightly rough with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory? What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jasper... I suddenly feel so sleepy. I’m afraid I can’t...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish the sentence, her head tilted to the side, and she fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the star rail streaked through the endless expanse of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Day and night became indistinguishable in the silent rush between the stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the Warship\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After four days without rest, Yuel finally exhaled in relief as the battle at last came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculating the time, Rory should be arriving soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the war concluding at this moment, he would finally be able to stay by her side without distraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging the final cleanup operations on the battlefield, Yuel didn’t even take the time to change his clothes before heading to find Vincent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent was in the medical bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the final battle, the insect forces had suddenly deployed three Rank Eleven male insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent and Paros had led the armies of the Four Domains into combat, but the victory had not come easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Vincent and Paros had been injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Yuel arrived, Vincent had just stepped out of the healing chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are your injuries?\" Yuel asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed Vincent a small packet of his leaves along with three blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent had already taken some of Yuel’s leaves and flowers earlier, and the treatment chamber had further accelerated his recovery. His injuries had improved significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Paros was hurt worse than I was,\" Vincent said. \"Give him a few of your flowers as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve already had someone deliver them.\" Yuel answered calmly. He would have arranged that even without Vincent asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he continued, \"I came to tell you something. Rory will be arriving very soon. I’m planning to take her to the Snow Domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1449,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","f4955616ccfbc33e4800f7dc470f05bcb73bbedf560232b0707f8b91a0fe35e2","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-209","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-207",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
