152: Chapter 152 I

"What do you mean?" Tang Ruan frowned.

Fentian looked at her smugly, "You don't actually think the Beast God created the Illusion Void just to have the things inside scare people, do you?"

"He needs us to destroy the Beast World, so he cannot allow us to have anything that makes us afraid."

"Therefore, everything that could become your weakness will be erased from your memory by the Beast God."

"Although I am not yet the Beast God..."

He pinched her chin and looked from side to side, as if admiring a work of art.

"But the thing used to delete memories is still here!"

Seeing Tang Ruan raise her hand to hit him, Fentian grabbed her hand.

"I'm not killing him; he is still your Beast Husband, he just doesn't love you anymore. Isn't that good?"

As Fentian said this, he bit Tang Ruan's little finger in retaliation.

"You—"

"Your other Beast Husbands..." Fentian cut her off, "I can deal with them in the same way."

When Tang Ruan saw Hu Che again, he was standing alone in the cave, dazed.

"Hu Che!"

Tang Ruan ran toward him.

When she was two steps away from him, Hu Che suddenly raised his hand to stop her.

Tang Ruan: ...

"Who are you?" Hu Che tilted his head and asked curiously.

Tang Ruan's heart felt as if it had been constricted by something, and she said anxiously, "I am your Mistress!"

She revealed the Beast Husband Mark on her wrist.

Hu Che looked at it very seriously.

"Oh."

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan looked at him sadly, "Do you really not remember me?"

"Hmm."

Hu Che nodded and looked elsewhere, "Can I go home now?"

"Do you want to return to Red Fox City?" Tang Ruan asked.

Hu Che: "Is that okay?"

"Yes..." Tang Ruan lowered her head, feeling as if a part of her heart had been hollowed out.

But at least Hu Che was safe now. She comforted herself. Yet, tears still fell uncontrollably.

"Why are you crying?" Hu Che asked nervously.

"It's nothing."

"Are you sad because I don't remember you?"

Tang Ruan looked up, pressing her lips together as she gazed at him, "Then do you still love me?"

Hu Che thought about it seriously, "I don't know, but I don't want you to cry."

As he said this, he raised his hand, seemingly wanting to wipe away her tears. But in the end, he took a handkerchief out of his storage space and handed it to her.

"Use this to wipe them."

Tang Ruan took it with trembling hands, "When do you want to leave?"

Before meeting Tang Ruan, the only place Hu Che remembered was Red Fox City.

He remembered his tribesmen sailing the ship near Beast God Mountain; he seemed to be going up the mountain to find something. He couldn't remember anything after that.

Did he come to the mountain to find this Female Beastman?

She said she was his Mistress, and she did indeed have a Beast Husband Mark on her hand.

But her First Beast Husband was so powerful, why would she take him, a Mid-level Beastman, as a Beast Husband?

Hu Che couldn't understand.

Moreover, her First Beast Husband seemed to loathe him.

He felt it was safer to return to his tribesmen.

But looking at this Female Beastman crying, his heart softened.

"I can wait until you stop crying before I leave."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ruan cried even harder.

---

Tang Ruan returned from Hu Che's place, dejected. As soon as she entered, she saw that new stone tables and chairs had been added to the cave. There were many delicious things laid out on them.

Tang Ruan knew that Fentian had gone out to "rob" again.

She walked to the bed like a zombie and sat down. Fentian came over carrying a pile of things.

"Mistress, there are many fresh fruits here. Will you have a taste?"

He brought it to her lips. Seeing Tang Ruan's expression was dull and she was staring blankly into the distance, with no intention of eating.

Fentian picked up a fake flower specially made by the Sparrow Tribe, "I saw many Female Beastmen wearing this, it looks very good!"

As he said this, he wanted to help Tang Ruan put it on. But he had never helped a Female Beastman put on a flower before.

In the previous Beast World, there were no such things with "mechanisms."

Fentian tried several times, messing up Tang Ruan's hair, but still couldn't get it clipped on properly.

Tang Ruan looked up. She looked at him impatiently, "Stop it, I don't like it."

Fentian was stung by the disgust in her eyes. He clenched his fists.

"What do you like? I'll go find it for you."

"Heh!"

Tang Ruan sneered.

"Didn't you just throw away the thing I liked? You even said you would throw away everything I like!"

"I didn't—"

Fentian suddenly realized that Tang Ruan was talking about Hu Che.

He threw away the things in his hands. He pinched her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

"You can only like me!"

Tang Ruan lowered her eyes, "Understood."

Fentian was stunned. Just—understood?

He had thought she would beg him to help Hu Che restore his memory.

Although he did not have this ability yet. But as long as A-Wu fell in love with him, and he obtained the power of the Beast God, he could.

Then, even if it was for that Stinky Fox, A-Wu would try hard to love him.

By then, he would possess the power of the Beast God. Once the Beast Husband contract became void, he could—

"Is there anything else?" Tang Ruan's cold voice interrupted Fentian's thoughts.

Fentian looked at her, confused.

"If there's nothing else, I want to be alone for a while."

"I—"

"If you want to mate, do as you please. Anyway, I have no say in it."

Tang Ruan turned her back and curled up into a ball. She seemed a bit afraid of him. She completely shut off communication with him.

Fentian thought Tang Ruan was just angry. As long as a few days passed and her anger subsided, things would get better.

But for over ten days in a row, she remained in this state. It was as if he didn't exist at all.

If he stood in front of her, she would walk around him. If he kissed her, she would close her eyes. It seemed as if kissing him was something she had to endure.

And then, waiting for him to be in agony under this coldness...

She only showed a little emotion when she went to see Hu Che.

But Hu Che did not love her anymore. Every day he asked her, "When do you plan to send me back to Red Fox City?"

When he asked Tang Ruan again today, Tang Ruan finally couldn't control herself and threw herself into his arms,

"Hu Che! Do you really not remember me? I beg you, please remember me, okay? I beg you, I beg you..."

Fentian had never seen her looking so humble. It made his heart feel as if it had been torn into pieces in an instant.

However, Hu Che just gently pushed Tang Ruan away.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you? How about I stay a few more days. But you promised me you would send me back, right?"

Tang Ruan was struck by lightning. He was willing to stay with her for a few more days only because he was afraid she would go back on her word and not send him back.

Tang Ruan suddenly laughed. She thought it was really funny. They had been through so much and had just gotten together. How could he forget her?

She hated Fentian. Because he had experienced the same pain, he wanted her to experience it too.

Now, she had experienced it. That's great; it could be considered a punishment.

One day, Fentian took Tang Ruan out for a walk. She saw a building in the distance that looked somewhat similar to the Beast God Temple. She instinctively walked toward it.

Fentian suddenly blocked her path. Tang Ruan, as usual, wanted to walk around him.

"You are not allowed to go!" Fentian commanded.

Tang Ruan didn't want to pay attention to him, but she tried several times and was still blocked by him. She said impatiently, "What? Will I die if I go there?"

Fentian's eyes widened.
