145: Chapter 145 He's here... Run!

Hu Che gazed intently at Tang Ruan.

The corners of her eyes were tinged with red, and her small face was flushed like a peach.

Her lips looked so soft that one couldn't help but want to take a bite.

That was what he thought, and that was what he did.

The moment their lips touched, Hu Che lost his reason amidst this softness.

He picked Tang Ruan up and placed her on the soft couch.

He kissed her without any technique, everything driven purely by instinct.

Tang Ruan also reached out, running her hands through his hair.

Suddenly, Hu Che sat up.

"No! He will find out!"

"He won't..." Tang Ruan grabbed his hand, kneading his slender, fair fingers.

She finally understood how uncomfortable Yan Qing must have been that day...

This was truly a level of intensity that no Beastman could endure.

"No! Mistress, get up, he will kill you!"

Hu Che pulled Tang Ruan up while helping her tidy her clothes.

Tang Ruan took the opportunity to hook her arms around his neck.

A smile played on her lips: "Don't you want me?"

Hearing these words, a sound like a "twang" echoed in Hu Che's mind, as if a string had snapped.

He closed his eyes and bit his lower lip tightly.

His pink lips were bitten until they turned white.

Yet Tang Ruan suddenly kissed his lips and looked at him with a mischievous grin.

"Hu Che, you are my Beast Husband now, mine alone."

She tugged on his arm, pulling him toward her.

Her other hand landed on his chest muscles...

Hu Che had never seen Tang Ruan act so proactively.

He closed his eyes, and even though he breathed heavily, he still couldn't alleviate that surge of desire.

Hu Che was pulled down by Tang Ruan.

Bracing his hands on either side of her, when he opened his eyes again, they seemed to be filled with a misty haze.

"Mistress... Mistress..."

He gently rubbed his nose against her cheek.

As if this could alleviate his longing. The veins stood out on the hands he had braced beside Tang Ruan.

"Hu Che..."

Hu Che suddenly grabbed her hand as it moved downward, "No. What if someone comes suddenly?"

"Then..." Tang Ruan thought about it very seriously, "You can just turn into a little fox, and I'll say you're my pet. I want..."

Tang Ruan pressed against him again and lightly bit his chin.

Hu Che finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He pressed Tang Ruan back onto the soft couch.

His orange-red eyes looked down at her arrogantly, revealing the predatory nature of a Beastman.

"Then, Master, what would you like me to do?"

Tang Ruan: ... "Anything..."

"Then, Master, don't cry later."

Tang Ruan had long known that Beastmen were naturally gifted in that regard. It was just that she really found it hard to associate Hu Che's appearance with his ferocity.

Outside the cave, a one-legged, ten-fingered monster landed on the roof of the cave. It lowered its head, listening curiously to the sounds inside.

But the people inside the cave were completely unaware.

The black shadow, lying on a distant slope sunbathing, yawned. It stretched and shook its fur. The sun was setting, and it was no longer warm.

Suddenly, it saw the monster that had landed on the cave of Tang Ruan's pet. The monster was peering into the cave.

It yawned again and watched curiously. Anyway, there was a Barrier at the entrance, so the monster couldn't get in; at most, it would just scare that Female Beastman and her pet.

Suddenly, the black shadow thought of something. Its eyes widened into perfect circles.

She had said that her pet was very timid and afraid of it. If it was afraid of such a beautiful cat as itself, how much more would it fear such a disgusting-looking monster?

If it accidentally got scared to death, this stinky Female Beastman would complain to Fentian again.

The black shadow thought about it and reluctantly flew over. It landed on a big tree near the cave.

The pressure radiating from its body made the monster notice it immediately. It hurriedly flapped its wings and flew away.

The black shadow scratched an itch, feeling bored. Just as it was about to turn and leave—suddenly, it heard a sound coming from the cave.

"Master—you are... mine."

By the time the two regained their senses, it was already dark.

Hu Che built a fire, took items out from his space, boiled warm water, and cleaned Tang Ruan. Then he combed her hair and dried it... By the time everything was done, it was late at night.

Both knew that they could face danger at any moment. But to avoid being discovered by Fentian, these steps had to be taken.

The warm water contained flowers collected in Tang Ruan's space, which smelled somewhat like lilies. It should be able to mask the scent on her body.

She knew that some Beastmen could smell it. Fortunately, her Supernatural Ability was restoration, so no marks were left on her body.

Tang Ruan stood up, "I'm leaving." "Okay." Hu Che stood up as well.

"Don't see me off! What if that weird cat sees us?"

"Then I'll turn into your pet to see you off, is that okay?" As he said this, he had already turned into a small, fiery-red fox. Its tail wrapped around her calf.

Tang Ruan was helpless, "Only for a short distance." "Okay."

In the night, Tang Ruan held the "small lantern" that Hu Che had given her. Hu Che followed closely by her side.

Suddenly, a "Meow!" came from above. The lantern dropped to the ground. The black shadow lunged at Hu Che.

Hu Che leaped up and actually pounced onto the black shadow's face. The black shadow shook it off instinctively.

Hu Che landed steadily and assumed an attack stance. Low growls issued from its throat.

Despite being so small, its fierce appearance stunned the black shadow for a few seconds. By the time it came to its senses, Tang Ruan had already gathered Hu Che into her arms.

"Black Shadow! What are you doing?" Tang Ruan shouted.

"Meow—meow—" You know perfectly well. The black shadow stared fixedly at Hu Che in Tang Ruan's arms.

Hu Che glared back at it just as fiercely. He wanted to transform into a giant fox to protect Tang Ruan, but he was afraid of revealing his identity.

Although he didn't know what this weird cat had discovered, it was clear that it knew something.

Suddenly, a rosy light welled up in Hu Che's eyes. He stared into the black shadow's eyes and said slowly, "Forget everything that happened today..."

"Meow..." Forget. "Meow—" Everything. The black shadow stood there in a daze, as if its soul had been extracted.

"Go back!" At Hu Che's command, the black shadow turned and disappeared into the night.

He jumped out of Tang Ruan's arms. "Go back quickly, act as if nothing happened." "Mm!"

Tang Ruan nodded and hurriedly ran toward Fentian's cave.

Hu Che had said that his Supernatural Ability was useless against Beastmen whose level was much higher than his. But would it work on a weird cat that had lived for thousands of years? At least for now, it seemed to be effective.

Tang Ruan returned to the cave. Fentian had not returned yet. She breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the bed, and pretended to be asleep.

A "purr-purr" sound came from the cave entrance. Tang Ruan opened her eyes nervously and saw the black shadow lying at the entrance, boredly playing with its own tail.

Meeting Tang Ruan's nervous gaze, it tilted its head, "Meow?" What's wrong?

"Black Shadow, where did you go just now?" Tang Ruan asked.

The black shadow thought about it very seriously. It couldn't remember anything.

It only remembered that after eating the delicious food Tang Ruan gave it, it had intended to go sunbathe. Later... did it walk to its master's cave and then fall asleep in a daze? It was already dark!

"Meow!" The black shadow widened its five eyes, looking utterly confused.

Tang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes again. Great, it really forgot.

Although the black shadow didn't remember, Tang Ruan still couldn't relax; she had another nightmare. She dreamed that Fentian killed Hu Che.

She ran to find Yan Qing, speaking incoherently: "Run! He's coming..."

Outside the dream, Tang Ruan curled up in fear, constantly moving toward the edge of the bed. She murmured: "He's coming... He's coming... Run..."

Fentian reached out and scooped her back into his arms. He gently patted her back, trying to wake her up.

"A-Wu, wake up! A-Wu, don't be afraid; with me here, no one can hurt you."

A-Wu's Beast Husband had died protecting her, so she must have gone through something terrifying. Who made his A-Wu so afraid? He would definitely tear his head off with his own hands!

"A-Wu... don't be afraid..." Tang Ruan instinctively burrowed into his arms. "Yan Qing, run... He's coming..."
