169: Chapter 169 "Since you like me a little more, shouldn't you reward me a little more...?"

The little fox rushed in front of Tang Ruan.

Retracting its claws, it scratched her leg frantically.

Tang Ruan picked it up, and it wagged its tail and licked Tang Ruan's face.

With great difficulty, she managed to hold it in her arms.

The little fox turned its head sadly and looked at her faintly.

The corners of its eyes were actually wet.

Tang Ruan couldn't believe it.

She asked: "If you are Hu Che, nod your head."

The little fox whined twice and nodded.

Tang Ruan's breathing even stopped.

It must be a coincidence.

How could Hu Che appear in her space?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she remembered what Lang Mo said to her when she left Central City — "I brought the Lord of Red Fox City, do you want to see him?"

That meant, at that time, Hu Che was actually already at the Beast King Palace.

She had only taken the box belonging to Hu Che.

Could it be that he was hiding in the box at that time?

Why would he hide in the box?

Tang Ruan couldn't figure it out.

She placed the little fox on the ground.

Actually, it was very simple to determine whether it was a beastman or a fox.

As long as she was outside the space, she could use her Supernatural Ability to perceive it.

She could perceive information from animals, but not from beastmen.

Tang Ruan placed her hand on its back.

The little fox seemed to know what she was going to do; it cooperated very well and stopped moving around.

Tang Ruan closed her eyes and activated her Supernatural Ability.

Nothing.

Second perception, nothing.

Third time, still nothing...

Tears slid down the corners of Tang Ruan's eyes.

The little fox stepped on her knees, stood up, and licked the tears from her eyes.

He really was Hu Che!

"Then why have you been hiding from me?"

Hu Che tilted his head, seemingly not understanding what she meant.

Tang Ruan suddenly understood.

In the space, Hu Che couldn't see her.

So, it didn't count as hiding from her.

And even if he could see her, he wouldn't necessarily recognize her immediately.

Everything in the space operated according to the space's rules.

Therefore, the Hu Che in the space was a real fox.

He still retained his habits from when he was a beastman.

For example, he liked eating grapes and would plant roses.

But he didn't know why he did that.

"Can you still transform into human form?" Tang Ruan asked worriedly.

Hu Che hugged her knees and rubbed against them...

Hearing this, he raised his head, his face full of grievance.

He also wanted to transform into human form, but he didn't know why he couldn't.

Tang Ruan stroked his head.

"It's okay, even if you can't change back, it doesn't matter."

Hu Che: ...

It mattered to him!

Hu Che rolled around on the ground in a panic.

Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Ruan said anxiously: "Hu Che, I can't let Fen Tian discover you right now.

Is it a problem for you to stay here alone?

Or do you want to go back into the space?"

Hu Che immediately shook his head and backed away.

In the space, he had completely forgotten who he was.

After coming out, it wasn't until Tang Ruan called his name that he suddenly woke up.

He never wanted to go back there again; he wanted to be with his Mistress.

"Then stay here obediently, I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Hu Che nodded aggrievedly.

Tang Ruan took many animal skins out of the space for him.

She hurried to the entrance of the cave.

After thinking about it, she still blocked the entrance with stones.

When Tang Ruan returned to Fen Tian, it was already dark.

Fen Tian was about to go out to find her.

"A-Wu, where did you go?"

He looked worried.

"It's nothing, I fell asleep under a tree." She deliberately rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"Little sleepyhead." Fen Tian reached out and rubbed her head.

Recently, A-Wu had been a bit sleepy.

Seeing Tang Ruan walking towards the cave, he hurriedly reached out to stop her.

"Wait a moment, it's more comfortable to sleep after washing up."

Tang Ruan blinked and looked at him in confusion.

Then she suddenly realized.

"My hot spring is finished!"

Fen Tian looked proud. "Let's go, I'll take you to try it."

He picked her up horizontally and couldn't wait to fly into mid-air.

When Fen Tian first said he would build a hot spring for her, Tang Ruan thought it was just a simple matter of digging a hole and filling it with some water.

She even wondered why, with his ability, it took him so long.

Later, she knew.

Because Dragon Valley was by the sea and separated from the mainland of the Beast Kingdom by a whole ocean.

So, he needed to first chisel a river from the Beast Kingdom and divert it along the coast to this side.

During this period, he also had to ensure that different terrains would not swallow the river water or block it.

After the water was diverted, he built a small volcano next to it himself.

He allowed the water to maintain a suitable temperature all year round.

Finally, he had to wait for the lake water to settle and become clear...

There was a lake in Dragon Valley connected to the sea.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about using the water here directly.

But the beastmen of Dragon Valley would feel itchy on their skin after using the water here to wash.

After hearing this, he thought the water was poisonous, so he gave up that idea.

Actually, it was just that the salt content of the seawater was too high.

The beastmen of Dragon Valley usually drank rainwater stored in stone pits on the top of the mountain on rainy days.

Thinking of this, Tang Ruan couldn't help but feel a little strange again.

Since they had special places to store water, why was there a hole in the Secret Base of her and Long Bao?

At first, she thought it was a well.

"A-Wu, we're here!"

Fen Tian's voice pulled her back to reality.

Tang Ruan stood on the peak of the mountain and looked down.

This wasn't a hot spring at all; this was a whole lake!!

"It's amazing..." she couldn't help but exclaim.

Fen Tian really possessed the ability of creation.

"Do you like it?" Fen Tian raised his eyebrows.

He had an expression that said, "Come and praise me."

"I like it, I love it, Fen Tian, you are really amazing!"

As Tang Ruan said this, she wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on tiptoe.

Fen Tian took the opportunity to lean his face forward.

Tang Ruan gave him a "peck" on the face.

He turned his face to the other side.

The meaning was very clear; there was still half left that hadn't been kissed.

Just as Tang Ruan was about to kiss him a second time, he suddenly turned his face straight.

This kiss landed on his lips.

Fen Tian's lips curled into a smile, his eyes darkening.

"Mistress, do you like me a little more now?"

"Mm." Tang Ruan nodded gently.

Fen Tian suddenly hugged her waist and jumped down.

Tang Ruan screamed in fright, thinking Fen Tian was going to commit suicide with her.

However, in the next second, he hovered above the water surface and carefully placed her into the water.

He also put away his wings and jumped into the water.

The water level just covered Tang Ruan's shoulders.

He helped her remove her clothes underwater.

He held her hand and walked towards the shore.

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan: "What are you doing?"

Fen Tian walked to the edge of the lake.

"Watch your step."

Tang Ruan lowered her head and suddenly discovered that under the clear lake water, there were stairs carved from beautiful white stones.

The edges were even rounded.

Was this to avoid hurting her?

Tang Ruan was truly moved.

She didn't expect Fen Tian to be such a delicate person deep down.

She suddenly felt that she should tell him the truth about Hu Che.

After all, she really didn't know how he followed her.

Sending Hu Che back to Red Fox City... even if she couldn't see him, at least he would be safe.

Staying here, if he was discovered by Fen Tian, it would be impossible to explain.

"Fen Tian, I —"

She had only said three words.

Fen Tian suddenly tugged at her.

Tang Ruan stumbled and looked like she was about to fall.

Fen Tian immediately turned around, clasped her waist, and took the opportunity to sit down slowly on the steps.

In this way, their posture became Tang Ruan on top...

Tang Ruan: ...

Fen Tian lowered his head and kissed her eyelids.

"Since you like me a little more, shouldn't there be a little more reward..."
