164: Chapter 164 How could there be... in her space?
Seeing that Fen Tian had eaten, Long Bao happily picked up the antlers on the table and handed them to Tang Ruan.
Tang Ruan thought he wanted her to eat them.
She hurriedly waved her hand to refuse.
She really couldn't eat these! They would hurt her teeth.
Unexpectedly, Long Bao suddenly said, "These were a gift from Lu Rong. He said he was grateful for the food you gave him, Big Sister."
"Lu Rong?" Could it be the Male Beastman she encountered in the forest during the day?
"For these past years, Long Bao has been living with them. They are afraid of me, but not of Long Bao," Fen Tian explained simply.
He looked a bit pale, as if his stomach was hurting.
Tang Ruan instinctively reached out.
She placed her hand on the purple aura over his stomach and rubbed it gently.
When she was in college, there was a period when she didn't eat well and also suffered from stomach problems.
She hadn't wanted to spend money on a doctor, so when it hurt, she would rub it just like this.
However, she was using her Supernatural Ability now.
Before long, the purple aura disappeared.
The warmth from Tang Ruan's palm traveled from his stomach all the way to Fen Tian's heart.
He lowered his eyes to look at her, his expression filled with happy smiles.
Tang Ruan's gaze, however, fell upon the pair of antlers.
They looked like they had fallen off naturally.
Although they weren't valuable, they should be the most precious return gift that the Deer Tribe beastman could offer.
Tang Ruan looked at Fen Tian, "How many beastmen live here?"
Fen Tian replied, "Not many—"
"Thirteen!" Long Bao interrupted Fen Tian, "One mute, two cripples. Two Male Beastman Cubs, one Female Beastman Cub, and one Female Beastman. Now there are two. So that's fifteen: one mute, two cripples... and two more..."
Tang Ruan waited for Long Bao to finish talking to himself before asking, "What do you usually eat?"
"Tree roots."
Tang Ruan thought: So they really only eat tree roots.
No wonder that Male Beastman looked so sallow and thin.
Long Bao was actually probably very thin too, but his thick fur made him look relatively round.
Plus, his beastman rank was likely not low, so he didn't need to eat food every day to sustain his life.
Tang Ruan thought for a moment. The current Dragon Valley was lacking in food, a world of difference from the Dragon Valley in her dreams.
If she, Yan Qing, Lang Lie, and Hu Che were to reunite when Dragon Valley became prosperous, then she had to hurry up and make this place prosperous!
Tang Ruan took many steamed buns, mantou, and other foods that were easy to fill one's stomach out of her space and dumped them on the table.
The hot, fragrant smell of wheat immediately made Long Bao drool.
Tang Ruan placed the vegetarian steamed buns in front of him. "These are yours; share the others with everyone. Help me pass on a message to them: if they want to have good food every day from now on, come find me early tomorrow morning."
While Tang Ruan was speaking, Long Bao had already impatiently stuffed two buns into his mouth. "Mmm! Mmm!"
He put the things into his space and ran off in a flash. He was so fast that he didn't look like an old dragon at all.
Fen Tian asked curiously, "What did you call those beastmen here for?"
Tang Ruan winked her left eye at him. "It's a secret!"
Fen Tian: ... Fen Tian thought: A-Wu is so cute...
Early the next morning, rustling sounds from the beastmen came from the cave entrance.
Fen Tian opened his eyes and looked down at Tang Ruan in his arms. Seeing that she was still asleep, he raised his hand and covered her ears.
However, because of this action, Tang Ruan woke up instead.
"Is someone here?" Tang Ruan asked, rubbing her eyes as she sat up.
Fen Tian looked displeased. "A bunch of annoying insects."
It was his first day enjoying a world for two with A-Wu, and someone had come to disturb them.
Tang Ruan was afraid that he might wipe out those beastmen in a fit of anger, so she hurriedly said, "I'm the one who asked them to come!"
Fen Tian sat up helplessly. "I know." His tone was still cold, but he didn't seem angry anymore.
Tang Ruan suddenly realized that since coming to Dragon Valley, Fen Tian's personality seemed to have improved a lot.
She walked out of the cave, briefly introduced herself to the Dragon Valley beastmen, then found a branch and began drawing a plan on the ground.
"There is a lake over here, and there must be fish in it. I will teach you how to weave nets so you can catch fish to eat in the early stages. Later, once the Bone King Fish grow up, your meat supply will be guaranteed. The trees here are inedible, so cut them all down and plant wheat..."
Tang Ruan talked on and on, describing the scenes from her dreams to them. The beastmen, however, looked at each other in confusion, seemingly not understanding anything.
A Male Beastman with a long face tremblingly raised his hand. "My Lady, do you mean that the fish in the lake can be eaten, and we can turn the inedible plants in Dragon Valley into edible ones?"
Tang Ruan nodded. "That is what I mean."
The Male Beastman lowered his head, stealing glances at Tang Ruan, wanting to say something but hesitating. The other beastmen also began to whisper among themselves.
"How do you eat fish? The bones inside will prick people to death." "How do you turn plants into edible ones? I don't understand..." "Exactly, exactly."
Tang Ruan was just about to explain it to them again when suddenly, the beastmen fell silent. Tang Ruan turned her head and saw Fen Tian coming out of the cave.
Tang Ruan knew that even if she explained it again, they might not understand. She said concisely, "In short, listen to me, and I guarantee you will be able to eat your fill every day!"
"Okay!" Long Bao raised his hand and shouted loudly. The other beastmen, seeing Long Bao take the lead, also followed suit and raised their hands. "Okay!" "Okay!"
Fen Tian turned around, seeing that Tang Ruan didn't need his help, and was planning to walk back when he suddenly heard her call out, "Fen Tian, come help."
Fen Tian: ?
Fen Tian flew into mid-air and lightly raised his palm. His red Supernatural Ability was injected into the ground, and the earth instantly split open. The soil surged like a tide, carrying away the burning plants. In an instant, they were swallowed by the earth.
Replacing them was flat land and soft, charred soil.
The beastmen of Dragon Valley were so scared that they all hid behind Tang Ruan.
"Long Bao!" Fen Tian gave a command. The white-haired little old man stepped out from behind Tang Ruan. In an instant, he transformed into a giant dragon, flew to the lake, and took a mouthful of water. He flew over the land, and the water in his mouth sprayed like a fountain, evenly dampening the scorching hot earth, sending up bursts of white smoke.
A moment later, the land-leveling work that would have originally taken weeks to finish was completed in just half an hour.
Tang Ruan couldn't help but think: If only she could take Fen Tian and Long Bao back to the Beast Kingdom to farm, that would be great!!!
However, for sowing seeds, there was currently no more convenient method.
Tang Ruan took Sweet Wheat seeds out of her space, taught the beastmen how to sow them, and then started working with everyone.
While she was working, she saw that the ring Yan Qing had given her was stained with mud, so she wiped it off lovingly and put it into her space.
These seeds had always been nourished within her space, so their growth rate was extremely fast. They started planting in the morning, and by the time they finished planting this field in the evening, the first few seeds they had planted had already sprouted.
In the evening, after Tang Ruan had eaten with everyone, she returned to the cave, took out a sheepskin scroll, and used ore to make a plan on it. Tomorrow, she would prepare the fish pond, and the day after, she would take some animals out of her space and teach them how to raise them...
Tang Ruan suddenly thought that there was a row of empty land around the fields, which would be perfect for planting grapes. Hu Che loved grapes the most, and she liked them too. By the time Hu Che and the others came to find her, the grapes should be ripe.
Thinking this sweetly, she closed her eyes and let her consciousness roam within her space.
She didn't know if everyone's space was as large as hers.
Her consciousness flew over a wheat field, chased after the quacking ducks, and dove into the vineyard.
Just as she was about to use her Supernatural Ability to pick grapes, suddenly, a fiery red figure darted past her eyes and dove into another row of grapevines.
Tang Ruan: ... This is impossible! How could there be... in her space? She must be seeing things.
Not sure, Tang Ruan hurriedly chased after it to take another look. She saw that fiery red figure suddenly jump up, pull down a bunch of grapes, and lie down under the tree to eat them. Its fiery red tail was wagging happily.
