138: Chapter 138 "I don't care what kind of stinky birds or stinky eggs they are! They all have to line up behind me!"

Tang Ruan looked at Fen Tian.

Fen Tian looked at Tang Ruan.

Five seconds later, Fen Tian blinked.

From every direction of Beast God Mountain, the piercing screams of monsters rang out simultaneously.

"Is there something about me that can't satisfy you?"

Tang Ruan's lips trembled, and suddenly, she cried even louder.

More screams from monsters echoed...

Tang Ruan: "I'm sorry, monsters! It's my fault for involving you all!"

"Hmph!" Fen Tian snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.

Tang Ruan wailed dryly for half an hour until her throat was hoarse.

Fen Tian finally forgot about the matter.

However, he seemed angry.

After taking her back to the cave, he left.

Tang Ruan took a bottle of water out from her space and drank it all in one go.

What should she do?

He seemed to care about it a lot...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit her, and she remembered a compliance test she had seen online years ago.

Since crying worked, it proved that Fen Tian could still be soft-hearted.

She would start by finding things he cared about, but which had already happened and couldn't be changed, to slowly lower his bottom line... and increase his tolerance...

Just as Tang Ruan was thinking, she suddenly noticed a black shadow walking past her cave entrance, swaggering with something wrapped in its tail.

She froze for a second before confirming that she hadn't seen wrong.

"Hu Che!"

Tang Ruan chased it to the cave where the black shadow stored its reserve food.

Sure enough, she saw Hu Che, who had turned into a small fox, thrown next to a pile of sea beasts.

He looked like a tiny ball, not even enough to fill the black shadow's teeth.

Tang Ruan rushed over, her hands trembling as she placed them on him.

She let out a sigh of relief; he was still alive, just extremely weak.

"Meow?"

The black shadow stood behind Tang Ruan and let out a strange cry.

Tang Ruan held her breath and turned around.

She lifted her head proudly. "Black Shadow, can you give this fox to me?"

"Meow?"

Tang Ruan couldn't understand the black shadow's language, but she saw the question on its face.

"He... he is a pet I used to keep." Tang Ruan clenched her fists tightly.

"Meow meow!" The black shadow shook its head.

It hadn't eaten fox meat in a long time.

Tang Ruan took a deep breath. "Black Shadow, you wanted to bite me this morning, didn't you?"

Black Shadow: ...

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Fen Tian?"

"Meow?" How shameless! It hadn't done it on purpose.

"Then give me the fox, and I promise I won't tell him."

"Meow!" The black shadow was angry too and turned its face away.

It hadn't pounced on her on purpose; who told her to step on its tail first?

Tang Ruan: "I know, I stepped on you first."

"Meow meow meow!"

"But it's also a fact that you pounced on me!"

"Meow!" The black shadow's fur stood on end.

Tang Ruan was scared and took a step back, but immediately stepped forward two paces.

For Hu Che's sake, she absolutely could not back down at this moment.

"Give him to me, and find me a safe cave.

Not only will I not tell Fen Tian about this morning, but I'll also roast a chicken for you to eat!"

As she spoke, Tang Ruan took a chicken out from her space.

The little hen clucked "cluck cluck cluck."

Remembering the taste of the chicken leg from that day, the black shadow licked its lips.

"Meow—" Well...

"One every day!"

The black shadow immediately widened its four eyes, and its gaze even became clear.

Knowing this condition, it was satisfied.

Tang Ruan pushed further.

"This matter is a secret between the two of us.

You cannot tell Fen Tian that I keep pets.

Otherwise, I will still tell him that you tried to bite me to death."

"Meow?" The black shadow didn't understand.

Tang Ruan immediately acted shy.

"Is it your first day knowing him?

You know it too! He loves me like crazy.

He even gets jealous if I pet you too much, let alone such a beautiful pet."

Tang Ruan was spouting nonsense.

The black shadow tried to recall seriously...

When Fen Tian was still a dragon, was that the case?

But Fen Tian did seem to get jealous very easily.

"Meow!" Fine!

Thus, the human and the cat made a deal.

Holding Hu Che, Tang Ruan followed the black shadow through a narrow path between the mountain cols.

On this path, there were only streaks of lightning.

It wasn't because of the black shadow.

Although the black shadow acted as a "lightning rod," lightning would still explode around it.

But on this path, there were only two bolts of lightning hitting fixed locations.

Tang Ruan felt as if she had discovered a bug in Beast God Mountain.

She followed the black shadow into a cave.

The cave was also carved out of crystal, so it was very bright.

"Meow!" This is the place.

Tang Ruan roasted a chicken for the black shadow right there.

After it had eaten its fill and left, she dared to treat Hu Che.

He was hanging on by a single breath.

Tang Ruan was so exhausted she almost fainted, but she finally managed to restore Hu Che to the point where he could just turn into his human form.

He opened his eyes.

Seeing Tang Ruan, he pulled her into his arms.

"Mistress! You're still alive! I thought I would never see you again!"

Hu Che held her tightly, trembling all over.

After a long while, the two calmed down.

"How did you get in?" Tang Ruan asked.

Both she and Hu Che had been brought in by the black shadow.

But in reality, Tang Ruan didn't know how she had gotten in herself.

Hu Che touched her face affectionately.

He smiled and said: "I only got in because I died."

According to Hu Che, he had chased her to Beast God Mountain and found she wasn't there.

At first, he thought she had been eaten by sea beasts.

But he soon discovered that there was a strange cat on Beast God Mountain that would scoop up the dead sea beasts on the shore.

So, he wondered if she had also been taken away by the strange cat.

Thus, he decided to enter the mountain to see.

But only the dead could enter Beast God Mountain.

So, Hu Che had drained his own blood...

Tang Ruan grabbed his hand, her heart aching.

Hu Che's wrists were very white, his skin very thin, and his youthful bones were clear and strong.

The wound had already healed.

It was hard to imagine what it must have been like to have blood flowing continuously from such delicate skin.

"I'm not as powerful as your other Beast Husbands; I could only gamble with my life," Hu Che said with a smile.

Tang Ruan was heartbroken, tears falling in large drops.

Following her, Hu Che had never really had a single good day.

"What about you? How are you doing here?" Hu Che asked worriedly.

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan: "Well... it's... that... Hu Che, have you ever seen the Snake Tribe's Beast God Painting?"

"Beast God Painting? What is that?"

"It's that... it's my destiny, I suppose... to have five Beast Husbands..."

After Tang Ruan told Hu Che what had happened over the past few days...

Hu Che sat on the ground without saying a word.

His whole person seemed as if his soul had been hollowed out.

He turned his face woodenly and stared at Tang Ruan.

"So, in the few days we haven't seen each other, you've gone behind our backs and taken another Beast Husband?"

Tang Ruan: "I didn't! I didn't! But I plan to make him the First Beast Husband so that we have a chance to survive."

Hu Che: "Tang Ruan, why don't you just let me die..."

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan lowered her head and whispered: "The point of this matter shouldn't be that we discovered the Beast God's secret and I learned about my background, should it?"

Hu Che: "No. It's that there's actually a guy who is even more annoying than the Stinky Snake!"

He had actually possessed Tang Ruan in a past life!

And he still hadn't... Hu Che was about to cry from grievance.

"I don't care! You are going to mate with me today! I refuse to be ranked behind that Stinky Bird!"

"I don't even know what his Beast Form is yet? It might not be a bird..."

"I don't care about any Stinky Bird or stinky egg! Everyone has to line up behind me!"

Hu Che pounced on Tang Ruan.

Suddenly, the top of the cave gave a tremor.

"Shh—don't move!"
