176: Chapter 176 "Brother, it's getting dark."

Fen Tian clenched his fists.

Tang Ruan saw his clenched hands.

She looked up and saw Hu Che serving food for everyone.

She hurriedly grabbed Fen Tian and pulled him to the side.

"Let's go sit over there!"

Tang Ruan pulled Fen Tian along, and they sat with their backs to Hu Che.

She had originally thought they could finish this meal in peace.

Unexpectedly, Hu Che came over on his own.

He sat down with two beastmen between them.

He asked Shui Yin next to him, "Shui Yin, is the cushion comfortable? Do you need me to add another one for you?"

Shui Yin said somewhat shyly, "Thank you, Big Brother Hu Che, it's very comfortable."

Fen Tian's gaze crossed over several beastmen and landed on Hu Che.

Tang Ruan hurriedly stuffed a meat pie into Fen Tian's mouth.

She smiled and turned his head toward her.

"Is it good?"

Fen Tian was distracted: "Mm."

Throughout the meal.

Fen Tian's gaze landed on Hu Che three times.

They finally finished the meal.

Hu Che helped clean up with the other beastmen.

Tang Ruan pulled Fen Tian away: "Fen Tian, take me for a walk around!"

The field from last time was growing very well.

But the current Dragon Valley was still far from the Dragon Valley in her dreams, which was full of fertile fields, grasslands, and fish ponds.

She wanted to see where it would be appropriate to renovate next.

For the first time ever, Fen Tian actually refused her.

"The incubation cave isn't completely finished yet. I'll take you tomorrow."

Tang Ruan nodded.

Thinking of the uncomfortable little crystal in the bird's nest.

So it wasn't finished yet! She had been overthinking it.

Tang Ruan returned to the cave.

She continued to refine her plan based on her memory.

She became immersed in it without realizing it...

She pinned the finished parchment drawing to the wall using a few sharp little stone nails.

She walked out of the cave and stretched.

The sunset on the horizon was a golden orange.

It was already this late.

The world was strangely quiet...

She always felt like something was missing.

That's right!

Hu Che was missing.

Fen Tian hadn't appeared all afternoon, and Hu Che hadn't appeared either.

She felt a faint sense of unease in her heart.

Suddenly, she saw Long Bao rushing toward her in a panic.

At a distance of five meters from her—

"Ouch!"

He tripped over a protruding stone.

He fell face down on the ground.

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan hurriedly reached out to help him up.

Who knew that Long Bao would do a push-up, straighten his legs, and stand right up.

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan: He's in such good shape.

Long Bao's nose was red as he rushed in front of Tang Ruan.

He crouched down, grabbed her calf, and started crying loudly.

"Sister, it's bad! Big Brother Hu Che was eaten by Big Brother! Big Brother Hu Che was eaten by Big Brother!"

"What?"

Tang Ruan's head buzzed.

Her body was unsteady, and she fell backward.

Fortunately, Long Bao was holding on tight enough that she didn't fall down.

After regaining a little bit of her reason.

Tang Ruan felt that Long Bao's words couldn't be fully trusted either.

After all, he wasn't very clear-headed himself.

"You said Fen Tian ate Hu Che, did you see it with your own eyes?"

"When they went in, there were two people. When they came out, only Big Brother was left.

I went in to look, and there wasn't even a shadow of Big Brother Hu Che."

"Where is Fen Tian now?"

Long Bao was sobbing, "I don't know, he flew away."

Tang Ruan tried to keep herself as calm as possible.

She found other beastmen in Dragon Valley to ask.

Someone had indeed seen Fen Tian fly away from Dragon Valley.

When everyone heard that Hu Che was missing, they spontaneously started searching for him in Dragon Valley.

Tang Ruan sat on the stone chair, feeling exhausted and her scalp tingling.

But she felt that Long Bao's news must be wrong.

If it were said that Fen Tian killed Hu Che, she would believe it.

But saying Fen Tian ate Hu Che, she felt he wouldn't bother doing something like that.

A beastman ran anxiously to Tang Ruan.

"Lord Tang Ruan, we have searched everywhere, but we haven't found Lord Hu Che!"

"Sister Tang Ruan, he's not here either." Shui Yin and Ma Er returned from the other side.

"He's not here either."

"He's not here either..."

"Could he have left the valley too?"

"It's not that easy to leave Dragon Valley, otherwise we wouldn't be trapped here..."

"Besides, no one even saw him leave the cave, and he just disappeared."

Listening to their conversation.

Tang Ruan's brain was spinning rapidly.

Suddenly, she stood up from the chair.

She thought of a possibility...

---

On the other side.

Outside Red Fox City, on a low, lush hillside.

Fen Tian opened his space.

A burst of black mist swirled out from the space.

The moment it landed, it turned into a Nine-Tailed Black Fox.

Inside its crimson-gold eyes were blood-red pupils.

It bared its stark white teeth and let out a low growl at Fen Tian.

"So quickly, you've forgotten who you are?" Fen Tian looked at it with contempt.

The Nine-Tailed Black Fox suddenly roared and lunged at Fen Tian.

Fen Tian dodged to the side.

The black fox's sharp claws sliced a large tree behind him in half.

"You look more useful than before." Fen Tian sneered.

Seeing the beautiful scenery of Red Fox City behind the fallen tree.

The Nine-Tailed Black Fox's blood-colored pupils gradually turned reddish-brown, and its irises also turned golden orange.

Its black fur faded to reddish-orange in an instant, and its tails slowly reduced to one.

A moment later.

Hu Che, having transformed back into human form, knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

Fen Tian just loved seeing him in this disheveled state.

Who told him to always compete with him for the Mistress.

"How is it? The scenery in my space isn't bad, right?"

Hu Che turned his head.

He glared at him without saying a word.

He didn't hear him beg for mercy.

Fen Tian was a bit angry.

He continued: "Didn't expect that, right! Not everyone's space is the same as A-Wu's.

When you hid in the box, didn't you think about this outcome?"

This Stinky Fox actually admitted that he had deliberately hidden in the box to be taken away by A-Wu.

Was he really not afraid that he would kill him?

Hu Che: "I didn't think about it."

Fen Tian was slightly stunned.

Hu Che continued calmly: "At worst, I'll just die."

Those few short words.

Made Fen Tian quite angry.

He always wanted to prove to A-Wu that beastmen could not be trusted!

But this lowly fox, time and time again, with his fearless attitude and indifferent tone, made him so angry that...

Hu Che hadn't really thought that much at the time.

After he suddenly regained his memory, he followed Lang Mo to Central City without stopping.

Outside the door, he heard what Tang Ruan said to Lang Chi and the others.

He only had one thought at that time—follow her.

He remembered the legend that the Divine Female's space could nurture all things.

He guessed that Tang Ruan's space might be able to hold beastmen.

But could he really enter?

What would happen after entering?

Would he die?

He didn't have time to think about it at all.

He hurriedly went to her room, transformed into his Beast Form, and climbed into the box he had given to Tang Ruan.

Because he firmly believed that she would definitely take that box with her.

"Now you know.

When we go back, you'll have to have a good time with the monsters in my space!" Fen Tian smiled cruelly.

He looked forward to seeing a fearful expression on Hu Che's face.

However, Hu Che just took a deep breath.

And said one word— "Fine."

Fen Tian: ...

Fen Tian walked toward Hu Che angrily.

Hu Che took a step forward and said: "Big Brother, it's getting dark."
