142: Chapter 142 "Does A-Wu Not Like Me?"
Hearing Fen Tian's voice, the black shadow was so scared that it sprawled completely on the ground, shivering.
It kept meowing incessantly.
"Meow—meow..." Master, spare me...
Tang Ruan did not know what it was saying, but combining it with the black shadow's actions just now, her heart jumped into her throat.
She carefully observed the expression on Fen Tian's face.
Seeing his brows furrowing tighter and tighter...
Suddenly, he stood up from the bed.
Tang Ruan grabbed his right hand, "It is just an ignorant little cat.
Whatever it... says—or does, please don't blame it!"
"Meow!" Liar!
The black shadow suddenly cried out at Tang Ruan.
The next second, Fen Tian raised his left hand.
The black shadow was instantly surrounded by a ball of fire.
Tang Ruan let go of Fen Tian abruptly, fell onto the bed, and shivered.
He... he killed the black shadow?
Although she did not like this strange cat, but...
Didn't it recognize Fen Tian as its master?
Moreover, it had guarded him when he was still in the egg.
How could he just kill it like that?
Did he really have absolutely no beastman emotions at all?
Tang Ruan felt the blood all over her body freeze at this moment.
"A-Wu, I have already punished it.
From now on, it will not be disrespectful to you again."
Fen Tian reached out to touch Tang Ruan's face.
She dodged subconsciously, suddenly screamed, and crawled to the corner of the wall.
"You... you..."
She wanted to say, don't come over.
But once she thought that if she soured their relationship now, then how could he become her First Beast Husband?
If he could not become her First Beast Husband, he would be just like when he killed the black shadow.
With a flick of his finger, he could kill Yan Qing, Lang Lie, and Hu Che.
Thinking of this, Tang Ruan lowered her head and clenched her fists.
She changed her words: "Wasn't your punishment too harsh? It is just an... ignorant animal."
Fen Tian chuckled.
"It has lived for at least a few thousand years, and it's still ignorant?"
Tang Ruan looked up in shock.
It had followed him for thousands of years...
and he just—killed it like that?
Even for a pet raised for a few months, one would have feelings, right!
Fen Tian walked toward her.
He was already taller and stronger than Yan Qing.
At this moment, he was standing while she was sitting.
It was extremely oppressive.
The moment he crouched in front of her, Tang Ruan even felt that in the next second, she would also perish at his hands.
"Is A-Wu scared?"
He tucked a strand of her loose hair behind her ear.
Tang Ruan nodded tremblingly.
"Don't be afraid, I will never hurt you."
He pulled her over and held her between his legs.
Bending down, he crossed his hands in front of her, trapping her entirely in his embrace.
His chin rested on Tang Ruan's shoulder, and he sniffed greedily.
"A-Wu, when are we going to mate? I want you..."
Tang Ruan was scared to death, how could she have such thoughts?
"In a few days, I... I am a little uncomfortable today."
She trembled slightly and pulled his arms away.
He actually complied and let go.
Tang Ruan let out a sigh of relief and slipped back to the corner from before.
"I want to sleep by myself today, is... is that okay?"
Fen Tian tilted his head.
It seemed he wanted to say something.
Finally, he lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Okay."
A-Wu was really afraid of him.
He had scared her again today.
Fen Tian thought guiltily.
But just now, in a fit of anger, he really hadn't thought that much.
He naturally assumed that she was still that—A-Wu who could watch with her own eyes a whole city of people age, wither... and finally turn into dried corpses in front of her, yet still be able to smile happily.
How could she be afraid of him, a small punishment?
His A-Wu had truly become too weak; she needed more careful care to survive.
Fen Tian walked to the cave entrance.
Thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and erected a Barrier.
Without the black shadow following A-Wu, she was too dangerous alone.
Tang Ruan stared in the direction where Fen Tian left.
She didn't know how long it had been, when she suddenly let out a breath.
As if she had just remembered to breathe, she gasped for air.
She looked at the sapphire blue Barrier at the cave entrance.
She was—under house arrest.
---
Tang Ruan almost didn't sleep all night.
Every time she closed her eyes, she could hear the black shadow's screams.
Even though, when the black shadow was burned to death by Fen Tian, it hadn't even had time to scream.
She finally managed to fall asleep.
It was just to dream of Hu Che, Yan Qing, and Lang Lie being discovered by him, and then killed.
There were many different versions of the plot where they were discovered.
But the ending was the same—they were all killed.
Tang Ruan's entire mental state was on the verge of collapse.
Until morning, when she saw the sunlight shining in through the translucent crystal cave ceiling.
Only then did she feel a glimmer of security and fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, Fen Tian was crouching by the bed, leaning over to kiss her lips.
One hand was gently kneading her shoulder.
"Ah!"
Tang Ruan was so scared that she broke free from him and retreated to the inside of the bed.
Fen Tian lowered his eyes, licking his lips as if wanting more.
He raised his eyes, and there was a hint of displeasure in his blood-red eyes.
"Does A-Wu not like me?"
She had clearly said just yesterday that she had fallen in love with him.
She was lying.
"No, no, no! Don't misunderstand." Tang Ruan hurriedly waved her hands.
Seeing him stand up, his aura imposing, it seemed that in the next second, he would kill her.
She hurriedly ran over and hugged him.
She was standing on the bed, and at this moment, they were about the same height.
Tang Ruan hugged his neck tightly.
"I was just scared by what happened yesterday.
I have grown up this big, and I haven't even killed a chicken.
Please don't be angry, I still love you."
She pressed her forehead against his, closing her eyes.
This way, he couldn't see her expression.
Tang Ruan had of course killed chickens; she just wanted to try to appear more timid.
This way, he wouldn't doubt her "feelings" for him.
Fen Tian recalled these past few days.
Whenever Tang Ruan saw scenes of slaughter, she would tremble all over.
Although he didn't understand, what was there to be afraid of?
But shortly after he was born, he too had experienced the emotion of "fear."
That emotion was only alleviated by her singing until A-Wu appeared.
Therefore, he understood her feelings.
"In the future, I will not let A-Wu see scary things again." He promised.
Tang Ruan, however, hurriedly shook her head.
"No need, I'll just get used to it."
Never letting her see scary things?
Wouldn't that mean locking her up here for a lifetime?
"Fen Tian, if you have time, can you take me around the mountain?
I want to go out and get some fresh air."
"Okay!"
Hearing her take the initiative to invite him, Fen Tian happily took her hand and kissed it.
Tang Ruan also revealed a smile.
He picked Tang Ruan up and let her sit on his arm.
Tang Ruan hugged his neck, her head looking behind Fen Tian.
This way he couldn't see her expression.
She had thought for a long time last night that she must first send Hu Che out of Beast God Mountain.
Fen Tian was too dangerous; he could kill an animal he had raised for thousands of years just like that.
If he discovered Hu Che, he would absolutely not let him off just because of her pleading.
Therefore, she needed to understand the terrain of Beast God Mountain.
Find a path that could let Hu Che leave safely.
Fen Tian held her, walking through a somewhat dark corridor.
Suddenly, from a pitch-black corner, came a— "Meow!"
