Spoiled By My Nine Beast Husbands (Emma Tibarn) novel Chapter 114

**When She Opened the Door to the Life She Was Afraid to Live by Nora Vale Kingsley**
**Chapter 114: A Chain Stronger Than Pride**

In the vast expanse of interstellar travel, events like these had become almost mundane, a routine part of life in the cosmos.

It was a world where even the female therians found enjoyment in the unexpected.

Edric paused, contemplating the right words, and then turned to Emma with a soft expression.

“Emma, if you’re interested… Corvin is here, and I believe Silas could join us as well. The two of them—”

Before he could complete his thought, Emma swiftly placed her hand over his mouth, her eyes wide with alarm.

Good grief! Why did he have to say things like that?

The truth was, she might have entertained the idea, but the very notion terrified her. Her petite frame felt utterly unprepared for such an adventure.

“Edric, I understand where you’re coming from,” she replied hurriedly, her voice a mix of urgency and embarrassment, “but I think it’s wiser to take things one step at a time.”

Edric blinked, his expression shifting to one of serious contemplation, as if she had just imparted a profound insight.

Only then did Emma release her grip on him, allowing a breath of relief to escape her lips.

At that moment, Corvin returned, cradling Coalball in his arms.

Around Coalball’s chubby ankle gleamed a slender golden chain, appearing both sleek and delicate, yet radiating an undeniable strength—one that Emma couldn’t quite identify.

Even more astonishing, the chain had the remarkable ability to stretch and retract freely, extending up to an impressive 300 feet.

Corvin held it aloft, pride shining in his eyes like a victorious knight displaying his spoils.

“Emma, look at this! It’s crafted from the leftover alloy I used for my mech. Even a Rank 9 therian wouldn’t be able to break it. I fashioned it into an anklet for Coalball. With this, he’ll never get lost again.”

Coalball fluffed his feathers, clearly unimpressed.

Excuse me? I’m at level ten peak, thank you very much. Practically Rank 11!

Emma’s eyes widened in disbelief as Corvin handed her the chain, the weight of it surprising her.

“I can’t believe something like this exists,” she marveled, glancing from the chain in her hand to Edric, who stood beside her, his brow furrowed in thought.

“Edric, do you think you could break it?”

As she met Emma’s sparkling, eager gaze, Edric felt a wave of confusion wash over him.

What was it about a chain that was so thrilling?

Nevertheless, he maintained a serious demeanor, responding with conviction, “I’m at level nine peak. It might take some effort, but yes, I could probably break it.”

There was no way he would admit to any weakness in front of Emma.

When they finally arrived at their destination, everyone disembarked from the starrail, the atmosphere buzzing with anticipation.

Edric released his Gravicar and assisted Emma into the seat, his expression filled with concern.

“Emma, you’ve been on the starrail for quite a while—you must be exhausted. Would you like to rest at my estate first? Once you’re revitalized, we can make our way to the clan.”

“If you enjoy it here,” Corvin suggested, still cradling Coalball, “we could always settle down in Central Planet. Both Edric and I have estates here. It wouldn’t be difficult to secure you resident status—you could choose wherever you want to live.”

After holding his tongue for the entire journey, Thero from Aquadome finally seized the opportunity to interject.

With a warm smile, he said, “Ms. Emma Tibarn, you should definitely come visit Aquadome too. It’s vast and underwater, and there you’ll find not just our Onyx Drakonids, but also the Merfolk, the Azure Drakonids, the Ivory Drakonids, and the Cymarans…”

His enthusiasm grew as he continued.

“Ms. Emma Tibarn, I wonder if you’ve heard of the Cymarans? Like the Merfolk, they are stunning beings. And Cymaran therians have a unique trait—the males are the ones who give birth.”

Throughout the journey, Thero had observed Edric and Corvin constantly attending to Emma—serving her, teasing her, and showering her with compliments—and his concern for Drake had only intensified.

With Drake’s fiery temperament, how would he ever compete with these two shameless charmers?

If Drake were to lose her favor entirely, what would become of him?

Determined to devise a plan, Thero decided he needed to find another male from Aquadome—someone powerful, striking, and attentive—to help Drake maintain his standing and vie for Emma’s affections.

With a beaming smile, Thero turned his attention back to Emma.

“Ms. Emma Tibarn, we have an abundance of strong, high-ranked, attractive males in Aquadome—men who truly know how to make a female happy. If you’re interested, I could arrange for a few to look after you.”

He let out a dramatic sigh.

“I mean, really, you only have Edric and Corvin around you. That’s far too few to ensure you’re taken care of properly.”

“Don’t listen to this old fool, Ms. Emma Tibarn,” Jimmy interjected sharply, glaring at Thero with a protective glare. “He’s just worried Mr. Smith will mistreat you and that you’ll stop loving him.”
