159: Chapter 159 "The Red Fox Tribe?"

Fen Tian walked over.

Tang Ruan pulled him to the stone chair to sit down, then circled behind him and took a comb out of her spatial storage.

She had assumed his hair would be difficult to manage, but it was thick and smooth, and she finished combing it in just a few strokes.

On a whim, Tang Ruan put his hair up in a high ponytail.

It looked awkward, so she changed it into a braid... then into a bun...

Fen Tian let her fuss over him.

His heart was pounding nervously.

Did A-Wu think his hair was ugly, which is why she wanted to comb it?

In the end, after Tang Ruan spent half an hour messing around, she kept his original style.

Fen Tian was naturally suited for this kind of wild and bold beauty.

It was just... she was a little envious of how much hair he had.

After fixing his hair, Tang Ruan walked to the corner and opened a large chest.

Inside were quite a few clothes the Sparrow Tribe had given to Yan Qing.

He didn't like some of them, so he just left them there.

She searched for a while and found a dark red set, then beckoned him over.

She held it up against him.

"Try this on!"

Fen Tian obediently put it on.

He was muscular, so Yan Qing's clothes were a little tight on him.

His bronze-colored pectoral muscles bulged out from the deep V-neck of the dark red garment.

Tang Ruan's height was perfectly aligned with his chest.

It made her want to have a nosebleed.

This feeling was exactly the same as the first time she saw him in her dream, that feeling of being "hit head-on" by pheromones.

Tang Ruan changed him into another set.

It was still a little too small.

She couldn't help but sigh: Fen Tian is really sturdy...

Fen Tian was naturally happy to see Tang Ruan helping him choose clothes.

But when he thought about how these clothes were in her room, they must belong to one of her Beast Husbands, and he became very unhappy.

However, he couldn't bring himself to reject Tang Ruan's good intentions.

After trying on a dozen sets, Tang Ruan gave up.

"I'll make you a set another day."

Fen Tian, who had been struggling, eyes lit up.

"Okay!"

Tang Ruan: He really doesn't stand on ceremony at all.

Fen Tian happily hugged Tang Ruan, pressing her into his chest.

He kissed the top of her head.

Tang Ruan, muffled against his pectoral muscles: ...

Once she started paying attention to this, she realized—he really—was very big...

That night, Tang Ruan had many dreams.

In the dreams, it was her, or rather Yong Wu, going through the process of meeting, knowing, and falling in love with Fen Tian.

When the dreams played out, they deliberately blurred out the bloody battle scenes, making the entire atmosphere of the dreams very harmonious and romantic.

Tang Ruan discovered that the way she and Fen Tian interacted at the beginning was very much like siblings.

Fen Tian trusted and relied on her immensely.

That was why, in reality, he became so angry and sought revenge after finding out he had been deceived.

In the dreams, he could be reckless and impulsive... but he always listened to Yong Wu.

His values were almost entirely built around Yong Wu.

So, in reality, he naturally made some changes following her wishes.

This dream gave Tang Ruan a much better impression of Fen Tian.

After waking up, looking at him sleeping beside her, she found him much more adorable.

She subconsciously reached out and brushed the slight bump on his nose bridge.

Fen Tian's eyelashes fluttered, and the corner of his mouth hooked into a smile; she didn't know if he was awake or not.

Tang Ruan's gaze fell on the love-testing stone between their pillows.

---

To verify that the love-testing stone was a "serious" stone and didn't just glow pink for anyone, and also to verify whether everything she dreamt about last night had actually happened, Tang Ruan decided to find a few people to test it.

She first saw Hu Niu, and then caught She Mu not far away.

"She Mu, hold this! Hu Niu, put your hand on it," Tang Ruan said.

The two looked at each other, confused, but did as they were told.

The love-testing stone immediately turned pink.

"This stone really does have a problem!" Tang Ruan exclaimed.

"Sister Tang Ruan, what do you mean?" Hu Niu asked curiously.

Tang Ruan explained the function of the love-testing stone to Hu Niu.

Hu Niu and She Mu both lowered their heads at the same time.

Hu Niu's face turned bright red.

She Mu turned bright red all over.

Tang Ruan: ...

"You two... could it be..."

"Oh! Sister Tang Ruan! Don't talk nonsense!" Hu Niu punched Tang Ruan in the chest, almost making her spit blood, then covered her face and ran away coyly.

Tang Ruan clutched her painful chest and looked at She Mu.

She Mu returned the love-testing stone to her, stuttering, "Divinity... Woman, good... bye!"

Tang Ruan: "Goodbye..."

She Mu also scurried away.

These two were obviously involved with each other; she had to try someone else.

Tang Ruan found Lang Chi and told him about the function of the love-testing stone.

Lang Chi crossed his arms. "I'm not testing it. This stone clearly has a problem!"

"Just try it, just try it. There aren't many people I trust who can help me test it."

Tang Ruan held the love-testing stone out to him.

Lang Chi couldn't refuse her.

With some anticipation, he placed his hand on the love-testing stone.

The gem immediately turned pink.

He excitedly raised his eyes to look at Tang Ruan, but saw Tang Ruan frowning, looking puzzled.

In the blink of an eye, the stone returned to its original color.

"It really is true..." Tang Ruan muttered to herself.

Lang Chi withdrew his hand and turned his face away, feeling a bit dejected.

"Why don't you find a few more people to test it?"

Tang Ruan then found three Old Witch Doctors.

This time, the stone turned black directly.

Tang Ruan believed it.

This really wasn't a stone that would just "turn red" at the drop of a hat.

So, was everything she dreamt about something that had actually happened?

She found Lang Feng and gave the love-testing stone to him and his Mistress.

The next day, Lang Feng brought the love-testing stone to find Tang Ruan.

"Everything in the dream actually happened."

Lang Feng returned the love-testing stone into Tang Ruan's hand.

As the heavy gem fell into her palm, Tang Ruan's mood grew heavy as well.

If everything that happened in the dream was real, then from Fen Tian's perspective, she was truly—scum.

One could even describe it as turning her back on someone and refusing to acknowledge them.

"I see. Thank you."

Tang Ruan turned to leave.

"Tang Ruan!" Lang Feng hurriedly called out to her.

Tang Ruan turned back.

"Since you two really did love each other, get along with him well. The prerequisite for all negotiation is trust."

Tang Ruan thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay."

But Fen Tian no longer trusted her.

She had said her Beast Husband was dead.

She had said Hu Che was her pet.

She had also said she wanted Yan Qing and Lang Lie to forget her...

But she hadn't accomplished a single one of those things.

There had long been no trust between them.

While she was pondering, Tang Ruan suddenly heard footsteps approaching.

She looked up and saw Lang Chi in his Beast Form, leaping and landing in front of her and Lang Feng.

"Lang Feng, Tang Ruan, it's bad!"

---

Below the gates of Central City,

tens of thousands of Beastmen were densely gathered, and it looked like more were coming.

"They actually dare to come back!" Lang Chi clenched his fists.

He had thought that after that time with Fen Tian, no one else would be unafraid of death enough to come.

"They probably aren't the same group."

Although Lang Feng hadn't been in Central City before, he had heard Lang Chi talk about it.

Those Beastmen were basically all Low-level Beastmen, and they had no leader.

But these below had High-level Beastmen in the front, Mid-level Beastmen in the middle, and Low-level Beastmen holding clubs in the back.

It was clearly planned; they had come to lay siege to the city.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a slender Male Beastman standing at the very front.

"Red Fox Tribe?"
