After Pampering Her 5 Beast Husbands, the Villainess Struck It Rich

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: They Were Also Affected by the Induction Grass

Before she could process it, her vision blurred. Her body was suddenly lifted into the air, and in a panic, she instinctively reached out to grab something to keep from falling.

She didn’t know what she’d grabbed, but a muffled sound echoed by her ear. "Ngh—"

Before Bai Zhi could see what she had grabbed, she noticed the people around them were already coupling up and kissing. Meanwhile, she was being carried, speeding past them toward the exit.

Just then, a Beastman with blood-red eyes locked onto her and lunged in her direction.

Lang Qiu appeared suddenly, knocking the assailant down with a single punch. Yue Junxiao and Yan Yichen cleared the path ahead.

Even Sang Mo, who usually acted as if he wished she were dead, had at some point transformed his lower body into a snake’s tail. He slithered behind them, sweeping aside anyone who lunged at them with a flick of his tail.

For some reason, watching the Beastmen’s eyes turn blood-red as they lunged at them uncontrollably reminded Bai Zhi of zombies from novels. This was exactly what it looked like when they saw a living person.

Their group was running fast, but the mating frenzy triggered by the induction grass spread even faster. The scent of a female lured the affected Beastmen, who charged relentlessly toward Bai Zhi and her protectors.

More and more Beastmen blocked their path, slowing their progress.

Bai Zhi clutched a handkerchief to her nose with one hand and wrapped the other around Hu Yan’s neck. She watched as Beastmen with fixated gazes lunged at them relentlessly. Her heart leaped into her throat, and the mix of tension and fear made her cling even tighter to Hu Yan.

’I never realized Beastmen in heat were so terrifying.’ The lust in their eyes, as if they wanted to devour her, made her understand. ’If I didn’t have my Beast Husbands to protect me, if I didn’t have this handkerchief to block the induction grass, I can’t even imagine what would happen to me.’

’Going into heat like animals, without any rational thought, just acting on pure instinct.’

Bai Zhi couldn’t help but shudder at the mere thought.

Suddenly, a roar cut through her thoughts.

"ROAR—"

There were simply too many Beastmen surrounding them. They were mindless now, instinctively drawn by the scent of a female, trying to get to her, wanting to mate with her.

To get out faster, Yue Junxiao transformed into a tiger. He let out a furious roar, tossing Beastmen aside and brutally tearing a path open for them.

When they reached the main entrance, Yue Junxiao shifted back to his human form to open the door, only to find it locked.

The color drained from Yue Junxiao’s youthful face. "The door’s locked," he said, his voice grim.

Hearing this, Lang Qiu quickly scanned the surroundings. "Looks like this wasn’t spontaneous. It was planned."

At that moment, Hu Yan suddenly said, "To the right."

The moment Hu Yan spoke, everyone ran to the right without a second’s hesitation.

After a short run, they saw a closed door. Before Hu Yan could say a word, Lang Qiu was already breaking it down.

He gave the interior a quick scan. It was a hotel room, used by guests who had too much to drink or lived too far away to travel home.

Since everyone was still in the banquet hall on the other side, the room was empty.

Lang Qiu turned back. "It’s clear."

The group quickly ducked into the room. Just before she was carried inside, Bai Zhi glanced back and saw two or three Beastmen still hot on their heels.

Once inside, Bai Zhi was set down.

The room was about twenty-three square meters, furnished with only the basics. Since the Beastmen here were generally large and muscular, the bed was over two meters wide.

But with her companions—several Beastmen all around 1.9 meters tall—standing inside, their presence was overwhelming, making the room feel instantly and incredibly cramped.

Perhaps because they were in an enclosed space, Bai Zhi could faintly hear several ragged breaths.

She looked up at Hu Yan. Unlike the bronze or dark complexions of most Beastmen, his skin was fair, meaning the slightest flush of red was instantly noticeable.

And right now, an unnatural flush colored his fair skin, and his light blue eyes were tinged with red.

She quickly looked at the others. Their breathing was noticeably heavier, and their eyes were also turning red. They had all clearly been affected by the induction grass.

Bai Zhi’s heart dropped.

’I’m so screwed!!’

’They’ve been affected by the induction grass, too! They’re going into heat!’

’I may have escaped the Beastmen outside, but Hu Yan and the others have been affected too. Is there no escaping this for me today?’

The sound of increasingly heavy, ragged breathing echoed in her ears, making Bai Zhi’s heart pound so hard it felt like it would burst from her chest.

The heat radiating from Hu Yan’s body next to her was steadily climbing, and its searing intensity left her at a loss. Then, she realized another scorching hot body had pressed against her other side.

A wave of nervous tension washed over her.

Bai Zhi’s palms were slick with sweat. She didn’t dare to move a muscle.

She swallowed hard, her throat tightening. "You..."

Before she could finish, a scorching hand gripped her arm, a large hand wrapped around her waist, and she was pressed back against the door.
