143: Chapter 143 I have plenty of money!

Tang Ruan felt that because of her guilty conscience, she was having auditory hallucinations...

Fen Tian carried Tang Ruan, flying in the mid-air of the Beast World.

Tang Ruan observed this mountain seriously for the first time.

She discovered that it was much larger than she had imagined.

Moreover, it possessed many different terrains.

Some places were lush and green, while others were pitch-black and red, like burning land.

Some places were filled with jagged rocks, while in other places, monsters were crowded together.

Tang Ruan stared at a place that looked like a small volcanic crater.

That pitch-black opening, although she couldn't see anything, made her feel exceptionally terrified.

She subconsciously tightened her arms.

"A-Wu, do you still remember that place?" Fen Tian suddenly asked.

Tang Ruan shook her head, "I don't remember."

Fen Tian seemed to heave a sigh of relief, "It's good that you don't remember.

A-Wu, you must never recall it."

A-Wu was afraid whenever she saw monsters; if she recalled that thing in the "Illusion Void," she might be scared to death.

Fen Tian carried Tang Ruan and flew for a while longer.

During this time, Tang Ruan discovered a few routes with less lightning.

She even used the excuse of resting to have Fen Tian stop on a towering tree to observe for a while, attempting to find a pattern to the lightning.

Later, she discovered with disappointment that there really was no pattern...

However, she did discover a fruit forest.

It looked very much like the legendary "Spirit Fruit" forest on Beast God Mountain.

"Fen Tian, let's go pick those fruits to eat, shall we?"

Tang Ruan pointed to the fruit forest.

"Okay."

Fen Tian did not hesitate; he picked her up and took off again.

A few minutes later, the two landed in the forest.

Tang Ruan picked one and took a bite.

That's right!

It really was a Spirit Fruit.

This thing could replenish Energy!

Her Energy was almost exhausted when she saved Hu Che, and now only her space could still be used.

Hu Che had only recovered to a Mid-level Beastman.

Both of them needed to replenish their Energy.

Seeing her stuffing Spirit Fruits into her space non-stop, Fen Tian's face was beaming with joy.

His mood improved along with hers.

His A-Wu was finally happy.

"If you want to eat them, I can bring you here anytime."

Tang Ruan's movements paused.

She said guiltily, "Actually, I wanted to make you some pies to eat..."

"A-Wu wants to make food for me?" Fen Tian said, pleasantly surprised.

"Mm."

He walked over happily and kicked the Spirit Fruit tree.

"Ah!" Tang Ruan was startled.

The next second, Fen Tian's hand appeared above Tang Ruan's head.

At the same time, a Barrier appeared, helping her block the Spirit Fruits that were falling down with a "thump, thump, thump, thump" sound.

Tang Ruan: ...

Although it was violent, it was indeed very efficient.

Fen Tian happily picked up the fruits on the ground, holding an armful, and walked towards her with a brilliant smile.

He dropped them as he walked.

The bright red fruits rolled to Tang Ruan's feet.

Fen Tian bent down to pick them up, and when he raised his face, the sunlight hit his face just right.

Tang Ruan suddenly discovered that when he smiled, two fangs would be revealed.

It gave his fierce appearance a sudden touch of cuteness.

"If A-Wu likes them, they are all for A-Wu."

Tang Ruan hurriedly opened her space to catch them.

Fen Tian turned around and continued to pick them up.

It seemed that being able to make her happy was the thing that made him the happiest.

Now, he had finally found one thing that could make her happy.

He wished he could find all the Spirit Fruits on the entire mountain for her.

Later, it was Tang Ruan whose conscience got the better of her, and she stopped him.

"Fen Tian... if you pick any more, the fruit forest will be bald..."

Although these fruits were enough for her and Hu Che to eat for half a lifetime.

However, it's better to leave some for later.

"Okay!"

Fen Tian jumped to her side happily.

"In the future, whatever A-Wu likes, I will find it for A-Wu."

Tang Ruan suddenly had a bright idea.

"Can you also find things outside of Beast God Mountain?"

"Of course!"

Tang Ruan's eyes rolled, "Can you even go to very far places?"

"Of course! As long as A-Wu likes it."

Tang Ruan suddenly thought of a place. The distance from there to Red Fox City was such that even if Yan Qing went back and forth, it would take three days.

And Beast God Mountain was even farther from there.

Three days was enough to send Hu Che out of Beast God Mountain.

"Fen Tian, the thing I want is in the extreme south, it looks like this—"

Tang Ruan took an Ice Lotus from the snowy mountain out of her space.

"It's delicious when used to make desserts. I only have one, I need more."

Fen Tian took it and looked at it.

"How many does A-Wu need?"

"Ten, no, no! Twenty, the more the better!"

This one she had was given to Yan Qing by the Ice Wolf Tribe.

It was said to be the only one discovered in decades.

If Fen Tian wanted to find ten or twenty for her, it would inevitably take more time.

"Okay, once I send you back, I will go find them for you," Fen Tian said with a smile.

Back at the cave.

Fen Tian was about to leave.

Tang Ruan suddenly grabbed him.

"That... Fen Tian, if you aren't here, I'll be very bored. Do you have any treasures that would allow me to leave the cave alone without being attacked by lightning and monsters?"

Fen Tian blinked, "No."

"Then why don't the monsters and lightning bother you?" Tang Ruan didn't believe it.

At first, she thought the shadow acted as a lightning rod.

Now that there was no shadow, the lightning didn't strike him, but only struck her.

Could it be because she deceived Fen Tian's feelings, so she was being struck by lightning from the heavens?

"Monsters are afraid of me, and I have a Barrier against the lightning."

Tang Ruan: ...

Ah, so that's how it was...

"If A-Wu wants to go out, you can—"

He looked around.

It seemed he was looking for the shadow.

Tang Ruan: See! You killed your own pet on impulse, now you regret it, right!

Fen Tian sighed unhappily.

"Let's wait a little longer!"

After saying that, he kissed Tang Ruan on the forehead and turned to leave.

He was just going to... leave her alone like this?

"I really miss that strange cat a little," Tang Ruan muttered to herself.

At least with it around, she could think of a way to use it.

"Meow!"

Tang Ruan's spirit stiffened.

It's over, could she be haunted by the shadow's vengeful spirit!

---

Fen Tian did not trap Tang Ruan with a Barrier when he left this time.

She went to Hu Che's cave.

She poured out the Spirit Fruits from her space, piling them into a small hill.

Tang Ruan: "Eat these up before I come to see you next time!"

Hu Che: ...

Hu Che pulled Tang Ruan into his arms, crossed his hands over her lower abdomen, and rubbed his head against the top of her head.

"Thank you, Mistress, but I can't finish these Spirit Fruits in one day."

Tang Ruan raised her head, "I can't come see you tomorrow. I'm not sure when he will be back."

Hearing this, Hu Che unhappily turned her around.

"No, you must come tomorrow."

"Why?"

"Tomorrow is your birthday."

"My birthday?" Tang Ruan blinked.

How could he know her birthday?

Moreover, the calendar of the Beast World was different from her original world.

Beastmen used the waxing and waning of the moon as a cycle for one month, called one moon, and twelve moons made a year.

She didn't know at all what time her birthday would be in the Beast World.

Beastmen didn't really celebrate birthdays either.

She only celebrated her birthday twice when she was in the Marmot Tribe, when Mama Potato used the time she was found as her birth date.

"The waning moon of the sixth moon."

Hu Che accurately stated her birthday from when she was in the Marmot Tribe.

Tang Ruan said in shock: "How did you know?"

Even Yan Qing didn't know.

The main reason was that it wasn't accurate, so she hadn't told him.

"Bribing a few Marmots, isn't that simple?"

Hu Che's face was practically written with—I have plenty of money!

Tang Ruan was amused by him.

"It's a deal! I'll prepare a birthday surprise for you tomorrow, you must come!"

---

On the way back, Tang Ruan was still thinking.

What kind of surprise could Hu Che prepare for her while alone in the cave?

But she was really looking forward to it.

She wasn't paying attention.

"Ouch!"

She stepped on something and fell headfirst into a cave.

Tang Ruan climbed up and took a look.

She had actually gone to the wrong cave; she had walked into the shadow beast's food storage cave.

She turned to leave, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

These foods looked like they had just been gnawed on...

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

Suddenly, Tang Ruan heard the shadow's voice again.

She lifted her head abruptly.

She saw four sickle-like fangs appearing above her head.

The next second, Tang Ruan's world plunged into darkness.
