167: Chapter 167 "My lord, you are truly the best beastman in the beast world."

"No!" Tang Ruan replied immediately.

"Oh? Then what is it that attracts my Mistress, wanting to stay in the space and never come out?"

Fentian grabbed the hand Tang Ruan was hiding behind her back.

He pried open her fingers.

A ruby ring was lying right in her palm.

This ring—she had been wearing it ever since he first met her, and she had never taken it off.

"When I was farming last night, I put the ring into the space and couldn't find it."

Fentian recalled that she indeed hadn't seemed to be wearing it last night.

His expression softened slightly. "Is this ring very important to you?"

"Yes."

Tang Ruan didn't hide it; the urgent priority was to divert his attention away from the "space."

"This was given to me by Yan Qing."

Fentian's expression turned visibly ugly.

"My Mistress is with me last night, yet after falling asleep, you call out Hu Che's name and look for a ring given by your other Beast Husband in the space?"

Before Tang Ruan could speak, he mocked, "You really are quite busy!"

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan adjusted her breathing and said seriously, "Fentian, I only agreed to live with you."

"But who I think about in my heart is my own freedom."

"You can't control it, and you can't stop it!"

After she finished speaking, not waiting for his reaction, she walked straight past him and headed out.

Tang Ruan walked away very coolly, though in her heart, she was drumming with anxiety.

She was afraid he would chase after her, afraid he would drag her back and play that whole 'forced love' routine.

Tang Ruan walked very fast, and it was a long time before she dared to turn back and look.

She found that he had not followed her.

While feeling relieved, she was also a little uneasy.

Could it be that Fentian's temper had truly improved?

---

Tang Ruan went to check on the Sweet Wheat planted yesterday.

The Sweet Wheat had already grown half a foot high.

At this rate, within two months, she would be able to harvest the first round of Sweet Wheat.

By then, she could teach the beastmen here how to prepare food.

However, before teaching them, she needed to build a small kitchen here and equip it with a full set of kitchen utensils.

She did have all these things in her space.

But if she took them out, she wouldn't have anything to use in an emergency.

She should have known to let Yan Qing make a few more sets.

She wondered if Fentian knew how to do it?

As soon as she thought about how she had just given Fentian a cold shoulder, Tang Ruan immediately dismissed this idea.

She was a woman like a majestic eagle; she would never be servile to anyone.

Tang Ruan arrived at the area planned for raising animals.

The ground had already been leveled yesterday, and now it needed a fence.

At this moment, it would be great if Fentian were here...

Just as she had this thought, Tang Ruan immediately shook her head.

She was a woman like a majestic eagle; she could do it herself!

The surrounding trees had all been cleared away yesterday.

She walked for a long time before finding a patch of trees suitable for making a fence in front of a stone wall.

Tang Ruan mobilized her Supernatural Ability, condensing a ball of light in her palm.

With a "bang."

The trees broke at the roots.

Tang Ruan was smug; who said her Supernatural Ability could only heal?

She blew up a few more trees in succession and felt slightly fatigued.

In fact, this way of using her Supernatural Ability consumed a massive amount of Energy.

It was equivalent to throwing money at people when fighting.

But she had no other choice.

After working for a while, Tang Ruan felt she had reached her limit.

Moreover, after bringing them back, she would still have to manually cut them into the appropriate size and then install them.

However, this work could be done by the beastmen of Dragon Valley together.

Tang Ruan opened her space.

The fallen trees flew into the space one by one.

She let out a breath.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly discovered that the place where the trees had been piled up had been blasted into a hole by her.

On the other side of the hole, it seemed to be full of blooming flowers.

Could it be that Dragon Valley had a "hidden map" she didn't know about?

Tang Ruan lay on the ground and looked into the hole.

Immediately, her eyes widened.

The ground was covered in colorful little flowers.

White butterflies were dancing among the flowers.

In the distance, one could vaguely see a few large trees that seemed to be bearing fruit.

It really was a hidden map.

Tang Ruan crawled back, intending to make the hole bigger.

Just at this moment, she suddenly discovered that the stone wall didn't seem to be naturally formed.

It looked like it was pieced together from several large stones.

It was just that it had been so long, and sand and stone had filled the gaps, making it look like a single piece.

Why would the Dragon Clan hide such a beautiful place?

Tang Ruan subconsciously reached out her hand to touch the stone wall.

"A-Wu!"

Tang Ruan paused and turned around.

She saw Fentian standing behind her, expressionless.

For some reason, seeing that he had finally followed her, she actually felt much more at ease.

Tang Ruan stiffened her neck and asked, "What is it?"

Fentian: ...

Fentian made his tone sound as gentle as possible.

"Don't run around."

"Does Dragon Valley have some secret?" She imitated the mocking tone he had used on her just a moment ago.

She felt that as long as she acted a bit angry, Fentian wouldn't keep harping on about yesterday's events.

"I don't know."

"You don't know?" Tang Ruan raised her voice slightly.

"Because I don't know, that's why you shouldn't run around."

Tang Ruan actually thought what he said made a lot of sense.

"I got it."

"Long Bao asked me to ask you, is everyone still eating together today?"

"Yes."

Tang Ruan nodded and walked towards the path she had come from.

Fentian did not follow immediately.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind Tang Ruan.

She hurriedly turned around.

She saw the entire row of trees in front of the stone wall being uprooted one by one, and in the blink of an eye, they entered Fentian's space.

Tang Ruan: ...

She had struggled all morning and only managed to blast those few trees.

Everyone ate lunch together.

The backup food in Tang Ruan's space was still enough for them to eat for over a month.

By then, the Sweet Wheat would have just grown out.

While eating, Tang Ruan saw a little Female Beastman, about eleven or twelve years old, who was extremely beautiful.

She was carried over by the Male Beastman with the long face from last time.

When she got closer, Tang Ruan realized that she had no legs, and everything below her waist was covered with a large piece of animal hide.

Long Bao saw that Tang Ruan's eyes were fixed on that little Female Beastman.

He reached out to block her eyes.

"Shui Yin doesn't like being stared at like that."

The little Female Beastman called Shui Yin heard Long Bao's voice and looked over this way.

The other beastmen busily helped her down from the long-faced Male Beastman's back and placed her on a pile of soft grass.

The long-faced Male Beastman walked up to Tang Ruan and knelt down.

"My Lady, Shui Yin cannot work; can she also eat with us?"

"I have discussed it with everyone, and we will each share a little bit for her."

Tang Ruan suddenly felt the gazes around her.

Looking around, she realized that everyone was watching her nervously.

She stood up immediately. "Of course!"

"You don't need to share; I will take out a little more."

"From now on, bring her along for every meal!"

Upon hearing this, the beastmen's brows and eyes immediately relaxed.

"Thank you, My Lady."

"Thank you, My Lady."

"My Lady, you truly are the best beastman in the Beast World."

The beastmen chattered, thanking her on behalf of the little Female Beastman.

It made Tang Ruan quite embarrassed.

It was just one more person eating!

And she was disabled; if she didn't allow it, would she even be human?

The little Female Beastman also bent down and gave her a deep bow.

Her lower body only went down to above her knees.

Just when Tang Ruan thought she was about to fall face-first onto the ground because of bowing to her.

Her lower body wriggled a bit, and surprisingly, she stood back up on her own.

Tang Ruan: Could her Beast Form be a snake?

Long Bao saw the surprise on Tang Ruan's face and leaned into her ear, saying, "Shui Yin is from the Jiao Clan! Isn't that amazing?"
