She had been thinking about him too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent’s tall frame completely enclosed her where she sat on the bathroom counter, his arms braced on either side of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I missed you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his head, rubbing the tip of his nose affectionately against hers. His scorching breath spilled across her lips as he whispered hoarsely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every moment of every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the words fell, he kissed her. Deeply. Passionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steam curled through the bathroom, mist gathering across the mirrors until their reflections blurred into soft silhouettes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how much time passed before Vincent finally pulled back slightly, their foreheads resting together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His firebird eyes shimmered with moisture, clouded heavily with desire. Even his usually cool, elegant features were flushed faintly red from emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze lingered on her swollen, reddened lips. His throat bobbed once as he swallowed hard, voice rough beyond recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature in the bathroom climbed higher and higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steam flooded the entire space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reflection in the mirror had long since disappeared behind a haze of white mist...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the two of them finally came downstairs, evening had already fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights below were on, warm golden light bathing the living room in a cozy glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kitchen had already been repaired as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper and Paros were inside cooking dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion, Yuel, and Wen sat on the sofa in the living room, each occupied with their own things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Vangar stood beside the aquarium feeding the fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was strangely harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the sound of footsteps descending the stairs, every man in the room looked up at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And almost instantly, their gazes locked onto Vincent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had changed into a clean black silk robe, the belt tied loosely around his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The open collar exposed sharp collarbones and part of his firm chest, along with several striking red marks impossible to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held Rory’s hand tightly, his brows relaxed, dark phoenix eyes overflowing with tenderness as he looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That expression—completely satisfied, yet faintly smug—pierced straight through the hearts of every man in the room like an invisible needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sofa, Xarion abruptly dropped the leg he’d been lazily crossing over the other with a loudthud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His silver-gray eyes narrowed dangerously, like a lone wolf whose territory had been invaded, cold hostility radiating from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel still sat gracefully in place, the gentle smile on his face unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the amusement never quite reached his eyes. Beneath that elegant calmness flickered something calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen looked at Vincent with open envy before sneaking another glance at Rory, his entire face practically screaming:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want that too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Vangar, the motion of feeding the fish paused slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the lights, his tall figure cast a long shadow across the floor, the aquarium glass reflecting the unreadable darkness in his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip tightened unconsciously around the bag of fish food until his knuckles turned white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce sense of frustration and jealousy coiled around his heart like thorned vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t even manage to cook one proper meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Vincent...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion suddenly spoke in a half-dead tone from the sofa, his voice dripping with sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prince Vincent... did your hands stop working? How come you can’t even wear your clothes properly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fixed on the red marks across Vincent’s chest, jealousy nearly driving him insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grinding his teeth, he sneered, \"Need me to help you get dressed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t stand Vincent acting so smug after clearly getting exactly what he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Vincent was in too good a mood to argue. He merely tightened his hold on Rory’s hand and smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. These are Rory’s rewards for me. Unlike certain people... who only know how to make Rory angry. Or blow up kitchens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone remained calm and elegant throughout. Yet with a single sentence, he managed to strike both Xarion and Vangar at the exact same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory stared at Vincent in complete shock. She genuinely hadn’t expectedhimof all people to start mocking Xarion and Vangar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he gone crazy? Or been possessed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Rory’s eyes, Vincent had always been the calmest and most dependable person in the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her first partner, he was like the anchor holding everything steady—carefully balancing everyone’s relationships, forever gentle, forever composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never been someone who openly vented his emotions the way Xarion did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he certainly had never spoken with such blunt, cutting provocation before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion himself was stunned speechless by Vincent’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His silver-gray eyes widened with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vincent... have you lost your mind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was wrong. Very wrong. What exactly had happened upstairs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent ignored him completely. Supporting Rory gently by the waist, he led her to the dining table and helped her sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, wait here for a moment. I’ll go see whether Jasper and Paros have finished dinner yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared at Vincent in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he really gone crazy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent swept a calm glance across their stunned expressions and explained nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he wasn’t crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply... Didn’t want to be the first partner anymore. In fact, he had already made that decision on the way home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the first partner meant constantly staying rational. Constantly acting magnanimously. Constantly taking care of everyone else’s emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even meant that when fighting for affection, he couldn’t behave as freely or shamelessly as the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From childhood, he had been taught endless rules and etiquette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This couldn’t be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That couldn’t be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in front of the woman he loved, he was expected to remain restrained—to \"graciously\" give way to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent had long since grown tired of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, the only reason he had competed with Jasper for the position at all was because no one else in the household could control Xarion and Yuel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But things were different now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vangar had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why had Vincent deliberately pushed Xarion into testing him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he wanted to know exactly how far Vangar could go for Rory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he was suitable for that position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, Vangar’s response had satisfied him greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, one final test remained for tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Vangar passed, Vincent intended to lose to him openly and hand over the position of first partner himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, he could finally act like Xarion and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fight for affection however he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more worrying about status. No more worrying about rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group watched Vincent disappear into the kitchen before immediately gathering around Rory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion was the first to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master... what kind of stimulation did Vincent get earlier? How does a perfectly normal beast suddenly go insane?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory shook her head helplessly. \"I don’t know either... He didn’t seem upset or anything...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back upstairs, Vincent had acted completely normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well... Mostly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only unusual thing was how insistently he had clung to her and refused to let her come downstairs too early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Vincent never would have behaved like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Rory herself was utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Yuel suddenly glanced toward the approaching Vangar before smiling gently and walking over to Rory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, Vincent was probably just exhausted from this trip. It’s alright. He’ll probably return to normal tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he held Terry out toward her in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, look at Terry. I think he’s about to wake up. He moved earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?!\" Rory’s eyes lit up instantly with surprise and delight as she looked at the tiny fruit-like creature resting in Yuel’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully, she reached out and touched him gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Terry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her fingers brushed against him, she felt the little fruit tremble faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuel, he moved!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terry was finally waking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s been moving occasionally since this morning. I think he should wake up soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s wonderful.\" Rory carefully lifted Terry from Yuel’s palm and cradled him against herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuel... let me hold him for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1341,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","711a654c6560755fc93b4d8487fbe061915aeff4bd1203baec2f28c18f5a7041","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-309","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-307",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
