All Chapters of The Villains Make Me a Fan Favorite: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The kiss was fierce and intense. With it came a scorching heat, a seemingly uncontrollable force, and a faint herbal taste that lingered on their lips.Lunara, who had been sleeping soundly, was instantly jolted awake by a suffocating, unfamiliar presence. Her nose filled with a strange scent, and her eyes flew open to meet a pair of dark red eyes.The usual cold clarity had vanished from Emory's gaze, which was now filled with a fiery desire, as if he wanted to devour her.Lunara's mind went blank. The next second, a rush of embarrassment and anger hit her. She swung her hand with all her strength, slapping Emory square across the face.The sharp sound echoed through the cave. Emory's head snapped to the side, and a clear red mark bloomed on his cheek. The force of his kiss abruptly slackened.Lunara seized this chance to shrink away, her chest heaving. She was about to shout at Emory when he slowly turned back toward her. The wildness in his eyes had calmed slightly, a trace of

Lunara was woken by the chirping of birds that came in from the cave entrance. When she opened her eyes, she saw the sunlight streaming in, scattering in tiny patches of light across the cave floor.Instinctively, she reached to her side, but all she felt was a patch of cool animal hide. Emory was gone. Only the faint lingering chill around her waist reminded her that last night hadn't been a dream.She pushed herself up and tried to move her legs before frowning at once. They felt sore and numb—obviously from being wrapped too tightly by Emory's snake tail overnight.As she massaged her legs, she felt a sudden warmth on the back of her neck. The necklace hanging there tingled as if something inside it was stirring. After stiffening for a moment, she focused on entering the pocket dimension with her consciousness.The last time she came in, she was greeted by a layer of thick, impenetrable fog that only let her sense a space of about 50 square feet. But now, the fog had completely

After giving Galen a drop of her blood, Lunara looked down at her still-bleeding fingertip and immediately turned to Cyril. Since there was already blood coming out, she could just give him a drop now instead of having to slice her finger open again.With her finger raised, she walked toward Cyril, who was still standing in the same spot.The mix of emotions he felt as he watched Lunara give her blood to Galen still lingered in his amber eyes. And now, he saw her approaching him with her bleeding finger.As a drop of blood slid off her finger, she said with a hint of urgency in her voice, "Quick! Bend down. I'll give you a drop of blood."Kieran's expression shifted instantly—not in resistance, but in surprise. He'd thought her casual "next time" yesterday was just talk. Not for a second did he actually think she would remember what she said."You're really going to give me a drop of blood to remove the bond mark?" he muttered as he looked down at her. Beneath his furrowed brows,

Lunara blinked in surprise. She didn't know the beastkin could shift into a semi-beast form like that.She watched as Emory's tail slithered smoothly across the ground. His pace matched the other males in their beast form. In fact, he seemed to be moving even more steadily than they were. Only the faint sounds of his tail scraping against the pebbles could be heard.Her gaze drifted to Emory's arm, and she froze. Yesterday, his beast band had indicated he was on the edge of the yellow tier. But now, it was dark green and faintly shimmering. Evidently, he'd absorbed the green-tier beast crystal and had a breakthrough.Finally, she glanced at his cheeks, which were still flushed from his heat. She couldn't help but wonder if the heat he was in, which had happened out of season, was because of the sudden breakthrough he had.In the beast world, a male's surge in power could cause massive internal energy fluctuations, sometimes leading to the male going berserk. Since he was approachin

Lunara looked at Emory, her eyes falling on the green beast band on his arm.A green-tier beastkin was more than capable of handling ordinary green-tier beasts. Technically speaking, it should be perfectly safe to go into the water with him.Yet, she kept recalling Galen's initial inaction when the giant crocodile attacked her yesterday. Water was home ground for the merfolk, so how could he not have been able to react in time?That brief pause felt more like he'd intentionally wanted the beast to kill her for him.The thought of this made her face go pale, and she instinctively looked toward the stream.Galen had already stepped out of the barrel and was quietly soaking in the shallow water. His tail fin lightly tapped the surface now and then. Despite how relaxed he looked, however, Lunara couldn't shake the unease.But her eyes brightened once she spotted the now-empty barrel on the bank. It was dangerous in the water, but she could bathe in the barrel instead.Composing hers
