108: Chapter 108 He is beautiful, but that has nothing to do with her.

Tang Ruan looked up and saw Hu Che's smooth profile not far away.

He took a step and walked past her.

Behind him, seven or eight City Lords simultaneously made the motions to release their supernatural abilities.

Tang Ruan: ...

Then she looked at Yan Qing at the front of the main hall.

He must have released his Supernatural Ability just now as well.

Among the cluster of colorful supernatural abilities, there was a wisp of brilliant red.

What color was Hu Che's again?

Before she could remember.

She heard Yan Qing say, "Tang Ruan, come here."

Tang Ruan had no choice but to tend to business first.

The Beast King Throne was magnificent, carved with ten thousand entwined snakes to form the shape of a throne.

Yan Qing was dressed in black robes, with golden light flowing between his every movement.

The Sparrow Tribe had helped design his attire.

He looked even more like a king now.

Tang Ruan had a set too.

However, she felt that after putting it on, she looked like a female villain from the Demon Race in a Xianxia drama.

So, she had only worn it once.

Tang Ruan sat down beside him.

The City Lords continued to report to Yan Qing one by one.

The difference was that when they encountered difficult problems, Yan Qing would have the City Lords "brainstorm."

To see if they could solve them through mutual cooperation.

Thus, the City Lords all got along very well.

Suddenly, they discussed a problem.

It was about the Red Fox Tribe gathering Rogue Beasts to bully smaller tribes.

"This matter originally had nothing to do with us.

What they are plundering are lands outside the Beast Kingdom.

But after a few years, they have actually gained a certain amount of strength.

If left unchecked, they might threaten the neighboring cities." The one speaking was Lang Feng.

Only just now did Tang Ruan notice him.

He was now the patriarch of the Wolf Tribe.

But he promised that once Lang Lie returned, he would return the position of patriarch to him.

As soon as Lang Feng spoke.

Many City Lords looked toward Hu Che.

They naturally knew that this Red Fox Tribe was not the same branch as Hu Che's.

Hu Che was now on good terms with the Jiao Clan.

He was doing business at sea and was incredibly wealthy.

He wouldn't care for such a pittance from a remote backwater.

But these Red Fox Tribe members did indeed come from the original Red Fox Tribe.

The banner they raised was that the Fox Prince was incompetent and they wanted to establish their own faction.

In the beginning, they survived by selling their own clansmen.

Of course, after they saw Hu Che strike it rich later on, many of them regretted it...

But none of them dared to go and seek refuge with Hu Che.

They were afraid of being purged by him.

Hu Che blinked slightly, a faint smile playing on the corners of his lips.

"They are no longer my clansmen.

If they are to be exterminated, I have no objection.

I am willing to work with all tribes to eliminate them."

He looked at Yan Qing, his tone indifferent.

As if he wasn't talking about his former clansmen.

As his gaze shifted, it collided with Tang Ruan's.

He seemed to pause for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.

Of course, Tang Ruan didn't know if it was just her imagination.

Yan Qing was very satisfied to see that Hu Che did not plead for them.

He nodded, "Then let it be so...

If encountered, kill without mercy."

"Yes!"

All the City Lords answered in unison.

The reporting was finished.

Most of the City Lords withdrew.

Only a few who hadn't completely solved their problems remained to speak with Yan Qing privately.

Tang Ruan watched Hu Che walk out of the Beast King Palace.

She suddenly felt he was such a stranger.

As if he had become a different person.

How did he become like this?

They arrived in the afternoon, so they should be staying the night before leaving...

"Mistress.

Mistress? What do you think?"

Tang Ruan snapped back to her senses.

"Ah?"

Yan Qing frowned slightly.

He repeated the old City Lord's words to her once more.

Some time ago, the Sweet Wheat in one city suffered a locust plague.

Tang Ruan knew about it.

Fortunately, the area wasn't large, and she had provided a formula to exterminate the locusts.

It was fine at the time.

However, due to the recent dry weather, it had made a comeback.

While it wasn't too severe yet, the old City Lord had hurried over to seek help.

In recent years, severe weather in the Beast World has become more and more frequent.

Tang Ruan thought for a moment, "Wait for me."

She closed her eyes.

Her divine sense wandered within her space.

Now, her space was a vast expanse of wilderness.

There were all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Animals that could be raised were breeding and thriving freely inside.

There was also a small mountain of crystals.

It was a gift from Yan Qing.

Over the years, being placed in her space had not only nourished the space's Energy.

But also slowly promoted her to a Level 3 Beastman.

However, this mountain no longer had any glow.

Tang Ruan delved into a patch of lush vines.

A few ducks were hatching eggs under a grape trellis.

"Quack!"

Suddenly, a duck was seized by the throat of destiny by an invisible force.

Next...

"Quack quack!"

"Quack quack quack!"

"Quack!"

After a chaotic scene in the space...

Tang Ruan slowly opened her eyes.

In the middle of the Beast King Palace, dozens of ducks appeared.

Old City Lord: ...

"The staple food for these ducks is locusts."

The old City Lord suddenly understood.

He understood this; it was the same principle as raising Bone King Fish.

"Thank you, Goddess!" The old beastman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tang Ruan.

His space could not hold living creatures.

He could only use his Supernatural Ability to corral the ducks together and herd them out of the Beast King Palace with a chorus of "quacks."

A few more City Lords were still in the hall.

Yan Qing suddenly asked Tang Ruan, "Are you tired?"

Tang Ruan looked at him, "I'm okay..."

She saw an emotion she couldn't understand surging in his emerald eyes.

"Go and rest."

"Ah? Oh..."

Tang Ruan felt that even if she stayed here, she wouldn't be able to focus.

Obediently, she left.

In any case, if there was anything he needed her help with, Yan Qing would speak up.

Tang Ruan walked through the corridor of the Beast King Palace.

In the corridor, several male beastmen on duty stood straight.

Sunlight spilled into the garden beside the corridor.

Roses she liked were planted in the garden.

The dense roses were layered, and the setting sun shone on them as if a layer of gold dust had been sprinkled over them.

Tang Ruan suddenly thought of—

The roses Hu Che had once planted for her at the entrance of her cave...

He probably didn't know that in her original world,

giving roses was a way to express love.

Suddenly, Tang Ruan stopped in her tracks.

Behind the dense flower bushes, in front of a stone table.

A youth was resting his chin on his hand, staring blankly at the flowers before him.

A breeze blew past, lifting the stray hairs on his forehead and revealing his handsome brow bone.

The youth seemed to sense her gaze.

He slowly turned his face.

"Hu Che..."

She whispered softly, not knowing if he heard her.

The two of them gazed at each other for a few seconds.

Hu Che suddenly flashed a smile at her.

Just as Tang Ruan was about to run toward him.

He smiled and said, "Greetings, Goddess."

Tang Ruan's footsteps abruptly stopped.

She saw Hu Che turn his head back after greeting her.

His fingertips rubbed a flower that had bloomed before his eyes, and he took a light sniff.

He seemed to have no intention of communicating with her at all.

Why did he call her Goddess?

Was he intentionally trying to distance himself from her?

The wind moved the gauze scarf wrapped around him, revealing a glimpse of his abdominal muscles.

He looked beautiful in the setting sun, and his movements were beautiful too.

But at this moment, Tang Ruan suddenly understood.

All of this seemed to have nothing to do with her anymore.

She took a step back.

She turned and walked toward her room.

A moment later.

A crisp snap came from the silent garden.

Hu Che looked in the direction where Tang Ruan had disappeared.

His fingertips tightly squeezed the petal he had plucked...
