172: Chapter 172 I've had enough of this life of constant anxiety!

Tang Ruan glared at Fen Tian with determination.

Seeing the anger in his eyes growing more and more intense.

The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees all burst into flames.

Tang Ruan suddenly closed her eyes, looking as if she were ready to face death.

Fen Tian's heart felt as if it were being repeatedly stabbed by thousands of sharp blades.

She was actually willing to die with this fox for its sake!

She actually thought that he would really kill her!

In her heart, just how terrifying was he?

Tang Ruan held Hu Che tightly, her whole body trembling.

Hu Che struggled to get up.

He broke free from her and crawled toward Fen Tian.

Fen Tian's eyes flickered, and a sneer suddenly curled at the corners of his mouth.

The beastman she protected with all her heart was merely a coward who feared death.

Look, now he was about to abandon her and beg for mercy from him.

He had seen too many Male Beastmen who abandoned their wives and children in the face of life and death.

This was not strange at all.

Fen Tian proudly raised his head, looking down with disdain as Hu Che crawled in front of him.

Suddenly, he took a sharp blade out from his space.

Fen Tian instinctively dodged backward, only to see him plunge the knife directly into his own chest.

Hu Che let out a muffled groan, and fresh blood slid down the corner of his mouth.

Fen Tian watched this scene in shock.

Tang Ruan stumbled over.

"Hu Che!"

Fen Tian raised his hand, and a Barrier blocked her at a distance.

He bent down and angrily pinched Hu Che's chin.

"What do you mean? Do you expect me to pity you?"

Hu Che used his last bit of strength to push his hand away.

He smiled cruelly: "I beg you for one thing. After I die, do not make things difficult for the Mistress."

His hand gripping the dagger exerted force once more.

The sound of the sharp blade piercing skin and flesh could be heard.

Fen Tian's eyes widened slightly.

Hu Che collapsed to the ground, on the verge of death.

"Hu Che! Hu Che! Hu Che!" Tang Ruan screamed, crying hoarsely.

She crashed against the Barrier again and again.

She was on the verge of a breakdown.

With a "bang!"

The entrance to the Secret Base was blasted open.

Long Bao, who had arrived with the other beastmen, happened to see this scene.

"Sister!"

"Stop!"

Long Bao, who wanted to help Tang Ruan, was scolded and stopped in place by Fen Tian.

"You think that by doing this, she will remember you forever, is that it?"

Fen Tian squatted down and grabbed the dagger in Hu Che's body.

But Hu Che suddenly laughed, a very happy laugh.

Yes... that was exactly what he intended.

Since they could not be together, he would let her remember him forever.

Fen Tian looked at Tang Ruan, who was falling down again and again after being rebounded by the Barrier.

Her hair was messy, her throat was hoarse, and she seemed to have gone mad.

He suddenly felt ridiculous.

He was the one who seemed to be the outsider.

He absolutely would not let this fox succeed.

Fen Tian gripped the dagger tightly and pulled it out.

Fresh blood drew a red arc in the air.

At the same time, a golden light suddenly emitted from Tang Ruan's abdomen.

The golden light clashed with Fen Tian's red Barrier.

With a "snap!"

The red Barrier shattered, scattering in the air like broken pieces of glass, and gradually disappeared...

Tang Ruan rushed over and shoved Fen Tian away.

She pressed both hands onto Hu Che's chest.

His heartbeat had already vanished.

Tang Ruan's face turned deathly pale, and a wave of dizziness hit her.

Fen Tian reached out to support her, only to be roughly pushed away by her again.

"Get away!" she roared.

She climbed up on her own and placed her hands back on Hu Che's chest.

Biting her lower lip, she channeled her Supernatural Ability.

The golden Supernatural Ability flowed endlessly into Hu Che's wound.

Her body kept trembling, but she did not shed another tear.

She wanted to give all her strength to Hu Che, give it all to him...

Hu Che's heartbeat reappeared beneath Tang Ruan's palms.

She smiled through her tears.

The surrounding beastmen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Che's heartbeat gradually became stronger under Tang Ruan's hands.

He suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Stop..." Hu Che said weakly.

"Don't move, you aren't recovered yet, I have plenty of Energy."

"Once I recover, I will be sent back. I don't want to leave the Mistress. I want to die by the Mistress's side."

"Don't say silly things, you must live well."

Hu Che forcefully pried at Tang Ruan's hands. "I don't want to leave you."

"I won't let you leave."

"The Mistress must keep her word."

"Mm."

"Pinky promise."

Tang Ruan had no time to make a pinky promise with him.

She was scared to death.

The wound on his heart had sealed up.

But his internal organs had been shaken by the two attacks, and there wasn't a single intact spot.

Whether it was the damaged internal organs or the massive hemorrhage, either would cost him his life.

Seeing that Tang Ruan was ignoring him, Hu Che actually extended a little finger to hook her pinky.

"Then it's a deal. If I must leave, I will die by your side."

"Wuwu..." Long Bao wiped his tears. Finally unable to hold it in, he let out a "waa" and burst into tears.

With him starting it off, the other beastmen also stopped holding back and instantly burst into tears.

"It's too pitiful..."

"My Lord, please just fulfill their wishes..."

"It's not like a Female Beastman can only have one Beast Husband."

"I discovered long ago that Lord Tang Ruan has four Beast Husband Marks on her hand."

"Then Lord Tang Ruan is—"

Fen Tian shot a glance over. All the beastmen instantly fell silent, as if their batteries had been removed.

Tang Ruan treated Hu Che for a full hour or more before she finally managed to repair all his wounds.

However, he still looked a bit weak. He needed Tang Ruan to support him to stand up.

Hu Che raised his eyes and looked at Fen Tian. There was no expression on his face, only determination in his eyes.

Tang Ruan immediately took half a step forward. A ball of light condensed in her palm, in a protective stance.

Fen Tian's face was full of self-mockery. His eye sockets were slightly red.

"Does the Mistress hate me that much?"

Tang Ruan saw his reddened eye corners. It didn't look like anger; instead, it looked like he was so aggrieved he was about to cry...

She avoided his gaze and took a deep breath.

"Fen Tian, whether you believe it or not. I did not bring Hu Che here on purpose."

"I didn't intend to deceive you. In fact, this morning, I originally wanted to take the initiative to tell you about this matter and have you help me send him back to Red Fox City."

"Mistress..." Hu Che gripped one of her hands tightly, "I am not leaving."

"And what about now?" Fen Tian sneered.

Tang Ruan: "I've figured it out. I cannot live without them."

"If you insist on forcing us apart, then at worst, I will die together with them."

"I believe that none of my Beast Husbands are cowards who fear death. I've had enough of these days lived in constant fear!"

The louder she spoke, the more intense her voice became. Even Fen Tian was momentarily stunned by her aura.

But immediately after, he revealed a mocking smile.

"The First Beast Husband contract. The Beast Husband and the Mistress live and die together. The First Beast Husband cannot harm the Mistress's other Beast Husbands..."

He read out the contents of the First Beast Husband contract in a loud voice, staring at Tang Ruan with great interest.

"The Mistress wouldn't actually think that these contents could restrain me, would she?"

"I possess the power of the Beast God; the Beast God's contract means nothing to me!"

He waved his hand forcefully. A pale golden light shield appeared on Hu Che and himself.

"What is this?" Tang Ruan asked.

"The power of the Beast God's contract, which is the thing you, Mistress, think can bind me."

His palm suddenly tightened. A red light spread out from within his body.

With a "snap," he shattered the light shield on his body.

All the beastmen watched this scene in shock.

"He destroyed the Beast God contract!"
