174: Chapter 174 I almost died!

In Fen Tian's mind, a voice kept echoing:

"Why share A-Wu with them?"

"A-Wu is mine."

"These Low-level Beastmen are simply not worthy of having A-Wu."

"Fen Tian." Tang Ruan suddenly called his name seriously.

Fen Tian came back to his senses.

Lowering his eyes, he saw Tang Ruan staring at him with a serious face.

"In the next life, they will all forget me. Only you will remember me forever. So, just let me have this lifetime, okay? Who told you to appear so late."

Looking at her amber eyes, Fen Tian slowly unclenched his fingers.

A-Wu was right.

They could only possess her for one lifetime, but A-Wu was his for all eternity.

He finally raised his hand and pulled her tightly into his embrace.

---

Although Fen Tian did not answer directly, he tacitly accepted Hu Che's existence.

Hu Che was also very smart; he never took the initiative to provoke him, only coming to find Tang Ruan when he was away.

He quickly got along well with the beastmen in Dragon Valley and even got his own cave.

Long Bao liked him immensely and got many toys from him.

That day, Shui Yin came again to help check Tang Ruan's body.

After Ma Er placed her in front of Tang Ruan, he went to guard the cave entrance.

Just as Shui Yin was about to speak, she suddenly heard Ma Er shouting at the entrance: "Lord Hu Che!"

Hu Che smiled slightly, "Just call me Hu Che."

Ma Er hurriedly said: "That won't do, I heard you are the City Lord. How could we Low-level Beastmen dare to call you by your name directly?"

Hu Che: "Don't say that. In Red Fox City, all beastmen are equal. If there is a chance to go out, I invite you all to settle in Red Fox City, and I will arrange accommodations for you."

"Really?" Ma Er's eyes lit up.

"Really," Hu Che blinked, "You are all my Mistress's friends. Any beastmen from Dragon Valley who go, I will make arrangements for them."

Ma Er: "Lord, just for those words, when Shui Yin comes out later, I will keep watch for you!"

Hearing that the cave entrance had quieted down, Shui Yin whispered: "The egg is developing very well, but its growth is slow. It is estimated that it will take about half a year before it can be produced."

Tang Ruan asked curiously: "When I was pregnant with a Cub before, I could see a ball of blue light on my belly. Why can't I see it with this one?"

Shui Yin smiled slightly: "What you are referring to is the Cub's soul power. Only Cubs that already possess a soul have it. Egg-born ones are more special; they only possess a soul during the incubation process."

"But that day, the light emitted from my belly saved me."

"That was you saving yourself," Shui Yin explained, "It was your instinct releasing Energy to protect the egg in your womb."

"So that's how it is." Tang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been worried that this Cub in her belly might be like Baby when he saved her, consuming too much Energy and failing to maintain itself...

Shui Yin's gaze fell on Tang Ruan's neck.

"Do you want the soul inside the ghost crystal to enter this egg?" Shui Yin suddenly asked.

Tang Ruan was stunned. She nodded.

She didn't expect that at her young age, she would even recognize a ghost crystal.

Seeming to see through Tang Ruan's doubts, Shui Yin said: "When I was abandoned, I was already nine years old. I followed my mother from a young age and saw many."

Seen many? What kind of place would have many ghost crystals?

Before Tang Ruan could ask her thoughts, Shui Yin continued: "Do not rush to mention to Lord Fen Tian about letting your previous Cub be reborn. Whether the soul in the ghost crystal is willing to be reborn in this egg depends entirely on his choice. Therefore, you can wait until he has made his choice before telling Lord Fen Tian."

Tang Ruan was a bit surprised. She hadn't expected Shui Yin to know so much at such a young age, and to have such a delicate mind.

Fen Tian had indeed said before that he was willing to help her resurrect Baby. But that was under the premise that he thought Lang Lie was already dead.

Now that he knew Baby had his own father, would he still let Baby be born in place of his own unknown Cub?

He seemed to care very much about this egg, and she didn't want to hurt him again...

If only Fen Tian could accept Lang Lie, Baby would definitely want his original father more.

But, what if Baby chose this egg...

"...Must rest more." Shui Yin's voice interrupted Tang Ruan's thoughts.

She looked at Shui Yin. Thinking of how Shui Yin had stood up for her at a critical moment before, she said with emotion: "Shui Yin, why are you so good to me?"

Shui Yin looked at her for a while. Suddenly, she tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"I think you look very much like someone I know. But I can't quite remember clearly. The more I look, the more similar you look..."

She reached out and traced Tang Ruan's eyebrows and eyes. A look of confusion appeared on her face.

Tang Ruan couldn't help but ask: "Where is that person now?"

She really had never known who the original owner of this body was. She had absolutely no memories. If it weren't for possessing a Supernatural Ability and Beast Form, she would have suspected she had transmigrated in her original body.

"Dead."

Tang Ruan: ...

"Is that so..."

"Yes." Shui Yin lowered her head, looking very sad.

Suddenly, in front of her, a snow-white, slender hand appeared. In the palm, there were a few amber-colored, shiny little spheres.

"honey crystal, it's very delicious."

Hu Che's voice was as pleasant as a clear spring. When he smiled, his slightly curved eyebrows and eyes were even better-looking than the Male Beastmen of the Jiao Clan.

Shui Yin hurriedly took the honey crystal from his palm.

"Thank you, Lord Hu Che."

"Just call me Brother Hu Che."

"Are you done checking?" Hu Che asked with a grin.

"Yes, Lady Tang Ruan is very healthy."

The smile on Hu Che's face grew even wider. He shouted toward the cave entrance: "Brother Ma Er!"

Ma Er immediately ran in and carried Shui Yin away.

"Sorry for the trouble!"

"Why are you being so polite to me, Lord Hu Che?"

Watching Ma Er and Shui Yin's figures disappear at the cave entrance. The next second.

Hu Che rolled into Tang Ruan's arms, but carefully avoided her belly.

"Mistress, hug me quickly! Hug me! I missed you so much I could die! I almost died!"

Hearing his tone so anxious, Tang Ruan hurriedly hugged him.

Hu Che let out a sigh of relief, as if he had finally eaten the antidote before dying from poisoning.

He was held obediently for a while. Then he propped up his upper body, adjusted the angle, and pressed against Tang Ruan's lips.

Tang Ruan: Didn't you say just a hug? You didn't say anything about a kiss!

Hu Che tossed and turned, pouring all his longing from these past days into this kiss.

When he lifted his face, Tang Ruan was panting slightly from his kiss. The corners of his own eyes were also flushed with red.

"I miss you so much... Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah..."

Hu Che held her face and kissed her wildly again. He also rubbed and kissed Tang Ruan's hair over and over again. Finally, he didn't spare other places either.

Tang Ruan: ...

Yesterday he was still blaming her for treating him like a small animal and "sucking" him. Wasn't he doing the same thing?

However, Tang Ruan was still a bit fearful, terrified that Fen Tian, who had just been coaxed by her, would return and see this scene.

"You... you should leave quickly... Don't provoke him for the next few days."

"He won't be back for a while. He went to set up an incubation cave for your egg."

Tang Ruan was surprised: "How do you know? He didn't tell me."

"He told his younger brother."

Tang Ruan: So that's how it is...

Hu Che's gaze fell on the ghost crystal on Tang Ruan's neck. He rested his chin on his hand and asked: "What is his name?"

"Baby," Tang Ruan said, "Lang Lie and I hadn't had time to give him a name before — —"

"Baby!" Hu Che interrupted Tang Ruan.

He reached out and picked up the ghost crystal on Tang Ruan's neck. He looked at it gently and seriously, saying: "If you don't like this fierce big Daddy, you don't have to rush to come back to see your mother. You can wait to be my Cub. By the way, you should call me one, two, three..."
