130: Chapter 130 The Altar of the Beast God

Tang Ruan clenched her fists and took a step forward.

Suddenly, she was stopped by Hu Che reaching out.

"Do not fight with Princess Jiao Yi."

Tang Ruan glared at him angrily.

How could this person help an outsider?

Whose Beast Husband was he, anyway?

They had just bonded, and he was already not on her side?

Hu Che lowered his voice, speaking in a way only the two of them could hear: "She is a Level 5 Beastman and can summon the sea beasts of the entire ocean."

Tang Ruan: ...

Oh, I see...

Tang Ruan very sensibly stepped back.

She was currently a Level 2 Beastman, and Hu Che was merely a regular High-level Beastman, without even a rank.

Even those High-level Beastmen on the merchant ship were at most Level 3 at their strongest.

They were indeed no match for this Female Beastman.

Princess Jiao Yi saw Tang Ruan retreat.

She laughed heartily and said, "The Beast King's Mistress is quite sensible after all!"

Hu Che looked at Princess Jiao Yi.

"Princess, may we speak in private?"

"Of course."

Princess Jiao Yi beckoned to Hu Che with her finger.

Immediately, a huge, strange fish surfaced.

Hu Che turned to Tang Ruan and whispered: "If you can't get in, just wait for the caravan to come and pick you up. Don't disturb the sea beasts, and wait for me in Fox City."

After saying this, he stepped onto the fish's back.

Tang Ruan grabbed his arm.

She felt that the Jiao Clan member had no good intentions. If Hu Che just left with her like this, would he ever come back?

Hu Che turned back, and a rose-red light suddenly welled up in his eyes.

"Be obedient..."

Tang Ruan slowly let go.

It wasn't until Princess Jiao Yi and Hu Che disappeared from her sight that she suddenly snapped out of the Mind Control.

Damn it, she just took her Beast Husband away like that!

---

On the other side.

Princess Jiao Yi led Hu Che into a thick fog.

Behind the fog was a very small island.

On the island stood a pavilion adorned with pearls and treasures.

Hu Che followed Princess Jiao Yi onto the island.

"Do you like it?" Princess Jiao Yi held her head high arrogantly, looking at Hu Che as if she were looking at a little pet she liked.

"Princess Jiao Yi's taste has always been excellent."

"Then come over and have a drink with me."

On the table, two cups of honey dew were already set out.

Honey dew was a nectar that naturally condensed in flowers growing deep in the mountains; it was sweet and intoxicating.

Since the Jiao Clan began trading with Hu Che, the Jiao Clan had obtained almost all the rare treasures and novelties in the Beast World.

Honey dew was one of them.

Of course, in Princess Jiao Yi's eyes, the most interesting thing was still Hu Che.

She watched Hu Che drink a cup, then suddenly used a finger to lift his chin.

"Hu Che, do you know why I like you so much? Actually, you... are not as likable as your brother."

Hu Che's gaze fell on her finger, and he held it back. He leaned in a little closer.

"Because I never use Mind Control on the Princess."

Princess Jiao Yi smiled coyly.

"That's right, the less initiative you take, the more I like it. Things that are too easy to obtain are boring. That's why I even made the whole clan learn your language for your sake, and trade goods with you... letting you earn enough crystals! I wanted to play with you slowly... but you—"

She suddenly remembered that Hu Che had already become another Female Beastman's Beast Husband.

Her eyes immediately turned fierce.

Even if he was her pet, he could not be tainted by another Female Beastman!

"Princess!"

Hu Che suddenly called out to her.

Princess Jiao Yi looked up, meeting Hu Che's gaze.

She suddenly realized that Hu Che's eyes were even more beautiful than usual.

In his orange pupils, a magnificent rose-colored light was surging.

"Listen to what I am about to say."

Hu Che mobilized all his Supernatural Ability, staring intently into Princess Jiao Yi's eyes.

She was a Level 5 Beastman; in truth, he didn't have full confidence in controlling her.

But he had to take a gamble, because Tang Ruan was still there alone.

Seeing Princess Jiao Yi nod with a vacant gaze, he continued: "You will not hurt Tang Ruan."

"I will not hurt Tang Ruan," Princess Jiao Yi repeated.

"You will let me go back."

"I... I will let you go back."

"Tell me, why did you appear at Beast God Mountain?"

Although the Jiao Clan lived near Beast God Mountain, to his knowledge, it wasn't Princess Jiao Yi.

The royal family of the Jiao Clan lived in safe areas far from Beast God Mountain.

Why would she suddenly appear there?

Could it be related to Yan Qing's matter from some time ago?

Princess Jiao Yi suddenly laughed.

She covered her mouth, emitting a laugh like silver bells.

Just when Hu Che thought his Mind Control had failed, Princess Jiao Yi suddenly said: "I told you, I was going to deliver a sacrifice."

Hu Che was stunned.

He had thought her words were a threat to Tang Ruan.

It was actually a sacrifice.

He suddenly thought of the strange current of the seawater.

Wasn't it designed specifically to allow the sacrifice to float to the Beast God with the current?

No wonder it was so quiet there; it turned out to be an altar.

Then wasn't Tang Ruan—

"Hu Che." Princess Jiao Yi's gaze instantly became clear, "The Beast God should really like the sacrifice you left there!"

Hu Che's hand trembled; he turned and ran toward the sea.

He had to go back to find Tang Ruan!

"Hu Che!"

Princess Jiao Yi suddenly shouted at him.

"If you go back, you'll just be one more sacrifice. And by now, the sea beasts should be waking up."

She lightly raised her finger, and the hiss of sea beasts came from the distance.

"So, why not stay, and wait—"

Princess Jiao Yi did not finish.

There was only a "splash."

Hu Che had already jumped into the sea.

Princess Jiao Yi widened her eyes in disbelief, her brows twitching.

He had actually defied her!

He was actually willing to die with that Female Beastman for her sake!

Things that are too easy to obtain are boring.

Then what if it's something that cannot be obtained—

Princess Jiao Yi raised her arm.

A string of starlike points of light scattered onto the sea surface.

The points of light fell like stars, sinking straight to the bottom of the sea.

Driven by the swimming fish, they drifted onto the sleeping sea beasts.

Countless sea beasts in the darkness suddenly opened their blood-red eyes.

"Then it must be destroyed!"

---

After being almost struck by lightning for the third time, Tang Ruan sat down on the ground, still shaken.

This Beast God didn't seem to like her very much either.

Perhaps she had done something wrong back then and was kicked out.

Tang Ruan was thinking about this when she suddenly felt something approaching slowly from behind.

Instinctively, she dodged to the side.

A huge octopus tentacle slammed onto the ground, instantly crushing the crystals beneath it into powder.

Only then did Tang Ruan see clearly that there were actually thorns on that huge octopus tentacle.

If she hadn't dodged... she would be smashed to pieces by now!

She was so scared that cold sweat broke out, and she didn't even have time to catch her breath.

Another octopus tentacle also slammed toward her.

Tang Ruan rolled several times, barely dodging it.

At the same time, she condensed a ball of light in her palm and hit the octopus that had just poked its head out of the sea.

An explosion sounded.

The octopus twisted its body in pain and dived into the water.

Tang Ruan clutched her pounding heart.

All these years, Yan Qing had protected her too well.

Although her Beastman level was not low, she really had zero actual combat experience.

She wondered when the caravan would arrive?

Was Hu Che okay with Princess Jiao Yi?

She suddenly thought sourly that Hu Che would be fine!

Didn't that Princess Jiao Yi want to take him as a Beast Husband?

Tang Ruan was sulking when she suddenly noticed a small lantern floating from afar.

It drifted onto the shore, swaying, and a strong fishy smell followed.

Tang Ruan twitched her nose and suddenly realized—this was no lantern; it was a trap set by a sea beast!

She hurriedly took big steps back, but the sea beast had already leaped out of the water, opening a giant mouth several times larger than her, and lunged down.

Seeing she couldn't dodge, the ring in Tang Ruan's hand suddenly emitted a red light.

The sea beast's mouth was pierced with a hole, and it twisted its body in pain, giving Tang Ruan time to dodge.

She ducked behind a reef.

Looking at the ring in her hand, its light fading... Yan Qing had saved her life again.

However, it couldn't be used a second time in a short period.

From now on, she could only rely on herself.

As she was thinking this, several black, tentacle-like vines had already crept onto the shore.

Suddenly, they grabbed her waist, wrapping around her tightly and impenetrably.

Dragging her into the seabed...
