129: Chapter 129: If you die, you can go in.

"Hu Che, don't think of things so negatively," Tang Ruan said, holding his hand.

Hu Che gazed at her intensely. "Tell me quickly!"

Tang Ruan couldn't understand why he suddenly looked so anxious.

Hu Che, in turn, couldn't understand Tang Ruan; under such immense pressure, she seemed completely oblivious.

Could it be that she wanted to save Yan Qing and Lang Lie so badly that she couldn't even sense such great danger?

Hu Che looked up to examine Beast God Mountain. There was something nearby; even if it wasn't the Beast God, it was a terrifying creature.

Tang Ruan couldn't refuse him. "Fine, let's form the contract."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Hu Che suddenly produced an exquisite dagger from his storage space and slashed his own chest with it.

"Hu Che!" Tang Ruan exclaimed in shock. Hu Che released her. In his other hand, a small, gem-encrusted bowl appeared just in time.

Fresh blood dripped into the bowl filled with spring water. Under the moonlight, the water in the bowl immediately turned a dark pink.

He recited the contract. Since he was a patriarch, he didn't need anyone else to officiate.

But Tang Ruan suddenly remembered, didn't patriarchs not need heart blood? The cost of a patriarch's contract should be the clan members.

Hu Che finished reciting the contract, lifted his chin, and brought the bowl to her lips. He said imperiously, "Drink it!"

Seeing his expression, Tang Ruan didn't dare to ask or speak. She took it and drank it all in one gulp.

This water... it's so sweet! It actually tastes pretty good!

Seeing that Tang Ruan had finished it all, Hu Che's heart finally settled.

He pulled her into his arms, quickly rubbed her head, and grabbed her wrist.

Seeing the petal-shaped Beast Husband Mark appearing on her wrist, he laughed wildly.

"Haha! You're mine! Mistress, Mistress! My Mistress! Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah..."

Hu Che kissed Tang Ruan on the forehead and face a dozen times. Her hair was also rubbed into a bird's nest.

Finally, Hu Che took a deep sniff of her head, just like one would sniff a cat. He hugged her tightly, refusing to let go.

He squeezed her so hard that Tang Ruan couldn't help but cough. Hu Che's expression changed instantly. "Don't you dare spit it out, swallow it!"

Tang Ruan: ...

Seeing that she wasn't actually going to spit it out, Hu Che breathed a sigh of relief and let her go. He handed her the knife and bowl he had just used and said haughtily, "Put these away."

Tang Ruan: ...

Although she admitted that the knife and bowl were quite pretty, they had just been stained with his blood... Still, she put them into her storage space.

After all, Hu Che didn't seem quite "sane" right now.

She reached out to heal the wound on his chest. "Doesn't a patriarch not need heart blood?" Tang Ruan asked.

"But the bowl and knife had been prepared for a long time," Hu Che said with a triumphant smile. "And the water inside, isn't it sweet? I picked it from over a hundred types of spring water."

The wound on Hu Che's chest wasn't big and healed quickly. But Tang Ruan forgot to pull her hand back for a long time.

She thought: In Hu Che's original imagination, forming a contract with her was supposed to be very sacred, perhaps even spectacular.

That was why he had prepared the exquisite bowl and knife, and even selected from over a hundred types of spring water.

Yet in the end, he had formed it with her in such a place, just like that.

Tang Ruan suddenly felt a bit sorry for Hu Che. It felt like a scumbag bringing his beautiful girlfriend to hold a wedding in a rented room...

"I'm sorry..."

Hu Che, however, seemed not to have heard her words. He threw an arm around Tang Ruan's shoulders. "Let's go! Let's see what kind of thing wants us to die together."

Tang Ruan looked at his chin. So his abnormal behavior was because he had sensed danger.

But why hadn't she felt it? Logically, her beastman level was higher than Hu Che's, so her perception of danger should have been more acute.

The two arrived at the foot of the mountain. Outside the mountain, a layer of black Barrier was visible to the naked eye.

The two exchanged a glance. Tang Ruan extended a finger and carefully probed inside. Her finger went in completely, and surprisingly, nothing unusual happened.

Hu Che said in pleasant surprise, "Mistress, you really are a Divine Maiden. The Beast God let—"

Before he could finish, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. Hu Che quickly pulled Tang Ruan aside.

At this moment, the calm Beast God Mountain seemed to have just awakened. Countless blue lightning bolts gathered at the summit, forming a massive net that blotted out the sky.

Hu Che pulled Tang Ruan back continuously. The lightning forced them both all the way back to the boat.

"How could this happen?" Tang Ruan murmured. She had clearly felt no malice just a moment ago.

"I was wondering who had disturbed the Beast God's sweet dream. So it was you—Hu Che."

A sweet and arrogant voice rang out from behind. Tang Ruan turned around abruptly.

She saw several sea beasts resembling anglerfish half-emerged above the surface of the sea. Each one was about the size of an orca.

And standing on the backs of these sea beasts were three young Female Beastmen. The three of them looked somewhat similar.

But each one was breathtakingly beautiful, as if they were standard figures created by computer modeling, and their figures were curvaceous.

Their upper bodies were adorned with pearls and jewels, and they wore gauze skirts made of some unknown material on their lower bodies, emitting a faint fluorescence in the night.

Under the fluorescence, three shimmering fish tails were faintly visible. Merfolk!

Tang Ruan was a bit mesmerized. They were... truly beautiful! She subconsciously looked at Hu Che. Even with ones like these... he wasn't interested?

That was truly a bit...

"Princess Jiao Yi." Hu Che bowed to the leading Female Beastman. He said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Why are you appearing at Beast God Mountain so late at night?"

"I'm here to deliver offerings to the Beast God!" Her gaze fell on Tang Ruan.

Hu Che subconsciously shifted to the side, blocking Tang Ruan behind him. "This is the Beast King's Mistress," he reminded her.

"Oh..." Jiao Yi drew out the sound. "So it's your Beast King's Mistress. She looks quite average."

Hearing her say that she looked quite average, Tang Ruan clenched her fists. It wasn't that she thought she was incredibly stunning, but Jiao Yi's words were clearly meant as an insult.

Tang Ruan raised her head and looked back at her with equal arrogance. Jiao Yi probably hadn't expected Tang Ruan to dare to look her directly in the eye.

With a wave of her hand, a tentacle emerged from the water and struck straight down at Tang Ruan. "Ugly freak! How dare you fight me for Hu Che!"

She had seen everything that happened just now. She only blamed herself for being a step too late, watching with her own eyes as Tang Ruan finished the heart blood.

This time, Tang Ruan had sensed the malice in advance, so she dodged quickly. Jiao Yi missed and wanted to strike a second time.

Hu Che suddenly said, "Princess, this is Beast God Mountain; we shouldn't disturb the Beast God!"

Jiao Yi's gaze fell back on Hu Che. She suddenly smiled. "You're right. The two of us haven't seen each other in many days. We should find a place and have a good chat."

Hu Che walked to Tang Ruan's side. "But we are here to pay respects to the Beast God today. Let's chat next time when we have the chance."

As soon as Jiao Yi saw Hu Che and Tang Ruan standing close together, her chest felt stifled. Why couldn't such a handsome Male Beastman be hers!

She hadn't been able to get his brother, and she couldn't get him either... All the best things in this Beast World should be hers!

"You want to enter Beast God Mountain?" Jiao Yi suddenly smiled unusually gently, as if she had turned into a different person in an instant.

Tang Ruan felt that this princess seemed a bit schizophrenic.

"Yes," Hu Che asked unhurriedly, "Does the Jiao Clan have a way?"

"Yes! Of course there is!" Jiao Yi lightly raised her finger, and an animal resembling a dolphin struggled as it floated up from the bottom of the water.

With a flick of her finger, the dolphin collided with the Barrier of Beast God Mountain, and a bolt of lightning immediately struck it.

The dolphin shuddered twice in the air and fell to the ground. It stopped moving.

Jiao Yi raised her hand again, and the dolphin floated up and successfully entered Beast God Mountain.

She tilted her head, smiling sweetly, and stared into Tang Ruan's eyes as she said, "See that? If you die, you can enter."
