165: Chapter 165 Space = Another World

"Hu Che?" Tang Ruan said in shock.

No, that's not Hu Che.

How could there be a beastman in the space?

Beastmen simply cannot enter the space.

But she hadn't put a fox into the space, had she?

Could it be that her space grew a fox on its own?

Just like how small bugs occasionally grow on grapevines.

None of those were things she had intentionally put into the space.

Tang Ruan circled it twice more.

The animals in the space could not see her.

To the animals inside the space, Tang Ruan was more like a "ghost."

Invisible and inaudible.

But she could touch them with her divine sense.

Who knows, she might snatch them away one day.

Tang Ruan mobilized the power of her divine sense and touched the little fox's back.

The little fox immediately sprang up.

It looked around nervously.

Tang Ruan's gaze fell on its paws—they were white!

This was exactly the same as Hu Che's Beast Form!

But there was no beastman aura on it at all.

Could it be that because she missed Hu Che so much, the space sensed it and grew a fox to comfort her?

Tang Ruan planned to look around to see if any other animals had "grown out."

Just then, she heard a voice, as if from a distant universe—

"A-Wu, are you asleep?"

Tang Ruan opened her eyes abruptly.

She had been lying on the table when she entered the space.

That was why Fen Tian mistakenly thought she had fallen asleep.

Tang Ruan lifted her head from the table and deliberately rubbed her eyes.

"Mm, a little sleepy."

She knew full well that he couldn't possibly know what was happening inside her space.

Even she herself wasn't sure if that fox was Hu Che.

But she was still nervous, her palms sweating slightly.

Fen Tian had said this was his "last time believing her."

If he mistakenly thought she had been hiding a fox in her golden house just two days after coming to Dragon Valley, she would—be—dead—meat!

"Wash up before you sleep." Fen Tian rubbed her head and stepped back two paces.

He aimed his palm at an open space inside the cave.

A huge square vat flew out from his space.

With a "clang," it landed on the ground.

The square vat was large enough for three adults to lie flat in, and it was golden, as if made of pure gold.

It was inlaid with colorful gemstones.

Tang Ruan's eyes went straight; how many pounds of gold must this be!!!

Fen Tian saw the shock on her face.

He said somewhat embarrassedly, "The Dragon Clan all go to the river to bathe.

But you don't like cold water, and there are no hot springs here.

So I thought of using this to hold water."

Tang Ruan looked inside, but there was no water?

Fen Tian seemed to understand her thoughts.

He immediately opened his space again.

Steaming water poured out.

It quickly filled the "golden vat."

Tang Ruan opened her eyes wide in surprise.

His water wasn't brought back in a container!

Beastmen generally don't store water in their space.

Because water is fluid and very difficult to control within the space.

It would spill everywhere, and it would be hard to collect together when taken out of the space.

Unless the water is placed in a container and then stored in the space.

But water stored this way would definitely appear along with the container, rather than just having the water come out.

How did he manage that?

"...Come here." Fen Tian reached out his hand to her.

Tang Ruan obediently walked over.

Fen Tian immediately picked her up.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and put her back on the ground.

In a flash, he stripped off Tang Ruan's clothes.

Tang Ruan: ...

Then, holding her waist like he was holding a Cub, he lifted her gently.

He sent her into the vat.

Tang Ruan: She hadn't even had time to be shy before she was already in the water...

Tang Ruan picked up a fallen leaf on the water's surface and asked, "Fen Tian, can your space store water?"

"Yes."

"Isn't it hard to control?"

"No."

"You just got your space not long ago, yet you're already so amazing!

I've never seen a beastman who can control water without a container."

She was a little envious.

With this skill, she could take hot baths every day without needing to boil water.

Hearing Tang Ruan praise him, Fen Tian smiled proudly: "A-Wu, we are different from those beastmen.

After your Energy improves, you will be able to do it too."

He pointed to the gems on the container.

"These gems all have very strong Energy.

From now on, if you wash with this every day, your Energy will grow very quickly."

Tang Ruan was thinking about another matter.

"Do you mean that our spaces are different from ordinary beastmen's?"

"Yes!"

Tang Ruan braced her hands on the rim of the vat and asked anxiously, "Then can you put a beastman inside?"

"Yes."

"You can!!!" Tang Ruan's voice raised an octave.

Then, was it a fox or Hu Che in her space?

Fen Tian tilted his head, staring at her in the water with confusion.

Tang Ruan felt guilty and pursed her lips.

Suddenly, a "splash" sound came.

It was Fen Tian jumping into the vat.

"Y-y-y-you... what are you doing?"

Fen Tian: "Bathing with you."

Tang Ruan: She was scared to death, thinking he had seen through her.

"Is A-Wu unwilling? We used to bathe together." Fen Tian frowned slightly.

Tang Ruan: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

"Then why does A-Wu seem so afraid of me?"

"I was just surprised that you can actually put a beastman inside.

The beastmen I know all told me it wasn't possible.

If you take me out in the future, wouldn't it be great if I just slipped into your space!

Hehe hehe..."

Tang Ruan talked incessantly while helping Fen Tian tidy his hair.

She realized that when people are nervous, they really do get "very busy."

Fen Tian suddenly grabbed her hand.

"No!"

Tang Ruan was startled and laughed awkwardly: "Why not?

Is there something in your space that I can't see?"

It was clearly her own space that had something he couldn't see.

The words came out like that despite her intentions.

Tang Ruan really wanted to slap herself.

She saw Fen Tian's expression suddenly become serious.

She was really afraid his next words would be— "Then why don't you come look at my space? And I'll go look at yours?"

However, Fen Tian just took a deep breath.

He patiently explained: "Ordinary beastmen's spaces are just a hole generated by their Supernatural Ability.

But our power comes from the Beast God; the Beast God created the Beast World.

Therefore, our spaces possess the ability to create themselves, equivalent to another world."

It was actually—another world!

Tang Ruan was slightly shocked.

Actually, she had guessed some of it, like how small bugs appeared in her space, or plants she hadn't planted...

Now, even a fox had grown out.

"Then since that's the case, why can't we put beastmen inside?"

"Because a person can only exist in one world," Fen Tian said seriously.

Tang Ruan didn't understand.

If a person enters the space world, they naturally aren't in the original world anymore. What was there to explain with such a serious expression?

Before Tang Ruan could speak again.

Fen Tian continued: "In the future, when I use my space, stay far away; absolutely do not get sucked in.

Every space world has its own unique rules.

If you stay inside for too long, even if you come out, you will forget who you are."

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan opened her mouth.

Trying to remain calm, she further explained his meaning: "That is to say, if there are no beastmen in my space world.

Then the beastman who enters will turn into an animal.

After a long time, even if he comes out one day.

He will forget that he was once a beastman."

Fen Tian nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes!

There's nothing good in my space, A-Wu, you must never go inside."

He reached out and scooped her into his arms, hugging her tightly.

As if he had thought of something terrible.

Tang Ruan, however, uncontrollably started to tremble.
