120: Chapter 120 "That's good, I won't let you off easy either."

"That's good, I won't let you get off easy either."

"You don't need to worry about it.

As long as you don't agree, other than Lang Lie, I won't take any other Beast Husband in the future."

Tang Ruan turned to her side, face down, her voice coming through muffled.

Yet it was very firm.

Yan Qing opened his mouth.

He wanted to say that among the Female Beastmen of the Beast Kingdom, which one didn't have at least three or four, or even more than a dozen Beast Husband?

Especially in his Snake Tribe, they basically all had seven or eight or more.

Even his mother had four Beast Husband.

Later, because the Fire Snake Clan had long lifespans, his father became the one who stayed with her until the end.

What's more, Tang Ruan was a Divine Maiden...

He did care.

But she didn't have to care about his feelings.

Which Beast Husband hadn't been jealous before? They had all lived like this for so many years.

He had also long prepared himself mentally.

Why did she have to consider so much for him? This made him feel too happy.

So happy that he couldn't help but think—

If, in the end, they didn't find Lang Lie, or if Lang Lie was already dead.

Could he then exclusively enjoy her love forever...

When Yan Qing thought of this, he suddenly woke up to himself.

He was actually, somewhat hoping that they wouldn't find Lang Lie in the end.

He gazed at Tang Ruan on the bed.

She could consider so much for him.

How could he have such a selfish thought?

He must help her find Lang Lie!

Yan Qing didn't speak again and lay back down next to Tang Ruan.

His lower body transformed into its snake form, tightly wrapping her within his body.

---

The next day.

Central City.

In a hidden cave.

The Old Witch Doctor of the Snake Tribe was helping Yan Qing with a diagnosis.

"Your Energy has temporarily suppressed the Curse brought about by the Beast God Mountain Barrier, but the Curse has not disappeared.

It may..."

The Old Witch Doctor turned his head and glanced at Hu Che, who was standing in the corner.

Hu Che had his arms crossed, leaning against the wall.

He wasn't looking this way and seemed not to care about what was happening here.

"Go on," Yan Qing said in a flat voice.

"It may follow you for the rest of your life, which is to say, you will need to rely on consuming your Energy to suppress it constantly."

"Then will he get weaker and weaker?" Hu Che suddenly turned his face.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile hung on his face.

The Old Witch Doctor looked at his mocking expression and retorted in a bad mood, "The Beast King is a level ten Beastman!

Even if he has been struck by the Curse of the Beast God Mountain, nothing will happen to him!

He is still stronger than any other Beastman in the Beast Kingdom!"

"So that means he's fine?" Hu Che raised an eyebrow.

His tone sounded somewhat disappointed.

The Old Witch Doctor was so angry that his beard trembled.

This Stinky Fox used to fight the Beast King for the Mistress.

Now he must be wishing for something to happen to the Beast King.

So he swallowed the words "it's not completely fine."

He roared decisively, "He's fine! He's doing great!"

Yan Qing pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Witch Doctor, thank you for your hard work; you should head back first!"

Hearing Yan Qing's voice, the Old Witch Doctor finally came back to his senses.

He nervously instructed, "You should still let the Divine Maiden take a look.

Perhaps she might know how to eradicate it.

Also, be careful not to release too much Supernatural Ability at once.

And don't let yourself be in a weakened state, or the Curse will take advantage of the opportunity..."

"We get it, old man, your Beast King is telling you to go back!" Hu Che pushed the person out.

The moment the Old Witch Doctor went out.

Hu Che's face suddenly sank.

He stood at the cave entrance for a moment.

He couldn't believe that even a Beastman as powerful as Yan Qing, just by being struck by the Beast God Mountain Barrier once.

would have to bear such consequences.

A Curse that would follow him for life...

He had seen what he looked like when he first returned from the Beast God Mountain; he couldn't even walk steadily.

He had even gone to his room to entrust him with his final arrangements.

Fearing that if he died, there would be no one to take care of Tang Ruan.

Although he managed to pull through later.

As it stands now, he has recovered quite well.

But at the thought of his disheveled appearance that day.

Hu Che actually felt a bit of lingering fear.

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

Hearing Yan Qing's voice, Hu Che put a smile back on his face.

He jumped onto the stool opposite him and sat down.

Yan Qing watched his movements.

He lifted his eyes.

His cold gaze made Hu Che feel a bit creeped out.

"What? Do you think I have no manners?

I'm telling you, once I become Tang Ruan's Beast Husband,

we two will be the same! Our status at home will be the same!" he said proudly.

Yan Qing sneered.

Thinking of Tang Ruan's words yesterday, he felt secretly proud.

Except when he was in front of Tang Ruan, Yan Qing didn't often smile.

His smile was worse than not smiling at all!

It made Hu Che feel guilty all over.

"Did Tang Ruan say something to you?" Hu Che asked.

"Nothing."

Yan Qing took out a few pieces of parchment from his space.

"What is this?" Hu Che pointed at them curiously.

"The map of the Beast Kingdom, planning blueprints, the secret room map of the Beast King Palace, the population distribution map..."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!" Hu Che hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, "Are you going to entrust me with your final arrangements again?"

Seeing that Yan Qing didn't speak.

He said cheekily, "Last time you finished your arrangements, you ended up coming back to life. Have you decided this time, dead or alive?"

"Alive."

Unexpectedly, he actually answered.

Hu Che was somewhat shocked.

Yan Qing explained to him, uncharacteristically serious, "With the Jiao Clan passage token you gave me, it will reduce the interference from the surrounding sea beasts toward me.

This time, I will definitely be able to successfully open a gap in the Barrier."

Hu Che made a "tsk tsk" sound.

"Listen to that, is that something a Beastman would say?

You want to open a gap in the Beast God's Barrier."

But in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he wasn't heading toward death.

Hu Che suddenly thought of something.

"Regarding the Rat Tribe incident, why did you tell Tang Ruan that it was the Jiao Clan who released the sea beasts?

It was clearly the sea beasts, following the summons of the Beast God Mountain, that actively attacked the merchant ships.

The passage token I gave you, the spell on it can only have a certain calming effect on the sea beasts."

Yan Qing took a light breath.

"If one day, I don't come back.

And she discovers my tracks.

Her enemy would, at most, be the few Jiao people in that area.

Instead of the entire Beast God Mountain."

Hu Che was shocked.

Had he even considered this point?

The sea beasts and the Jiao Clan were certainly powerful.

But sea beasts were just mindless animals.

No matter how powerful the Jiao Clan was, without the help of the sea beasts, they were no match for any High-level Beastman.

Therefore, if Tang Ruan wanted revenge.

He could help her achieve it.

But the Beast God Mountain was different.

Suddenly, Hu Che realized with a start.

This guy, wasn't he still heading toward death?

He pushed that pile of things back in front of him.

"I don't want it, I'm slow-witted, I can't manage your crappy country.

I only want to be with Tang Ruan.

The hardship of being a King, whoever wants to suffer it can suffer it!"

Yan Qing suddenly smiled.

"You only appear very stupid in front of me and her."

"You!" Hu Che was so angry he couldn't speak.

Yan Qing stood up and glanced at him sideways.

"If I don't come back, the contract is void.

From now on, you will be Tang Ruan's only Beast Husband."

Hu Che: ...

"Are you happy?" Yan Qing suddenly asked with a smile.

He thought of Tang Ruan's words last night.

She really cared about him; she could give up Hu Che for his sake.

But he could not leave her without someone she could trust by her side.

Hu Che, however, felt that this smile of his was very cruel.

Like cutting a knife into his heart.

"I... I..." Hu Che jumped up.

"What do you take me for!" He grabbed Yan Qing by the collar, "Am I that ungrateful of a person?

The entire Red Fox Tribe was saved by you!

Would I let you die just to be Tang Ruan's only Beast Husband?"

Yan Qing suddenly smiled.

Hu Che only then realized that he had grabbed his collar.

He was truly too bold...

"That's good, I won't let you get off easy either."
