178: Chapter 178 Teach me.

"Teach me."

Lang Lie was startled.

He could hear the bitterness in Yan Qing's words.

Since waking up, he had heard Lang Chi and the others say more than once —

The Beast King, for the sake of the Mistress, helped the Wolf Tribe rebuild their home.

He used the entire power of the Beast Kingdom to search for his whereabouts.

Later, in order to rescue him from Beast God Mountain, he was severely injured.

He even shared his own life force to help him wake up.

And the premise of the Mistress being with the Beast King was to find his whereabouts.

Moreover, finding him was written into her Beast Husband contract with the Beast King.

How hurt the Beast King must feel because of this.

Even though the two of them had been together for nearly six years.

They should have developed real feelings by now.

But occasionally, the Beast King must still feel —

"The Mistress is only willing to be with me because of him..."

Lang Lie's gratitude toward the Beast King could not be expressed in words.

Whether it was his strength or his feelings for the Mistress, in Lang Lie's heart, he was worthy of the position of First Beast Husband.

It was just —

Neither of them could outcompete the Beast God.

But he was willing to spend his whole life supporting this King.

Finally, all his gratitude turned into one sentence.

"Lang Lie swears to serve the Beast King to the death!"

He knelt on one knee, then stood up.

Quickly transformed into his Beast Form, and ran outwards.

Even if it meant sacrificing his life, he would bring her back to his side.

---

On the other side.

Tang Ruan sat at the cave entrance, clutching her knees, staring motionlessly at the sky.

Finally, a black shadow streaked across the sky.

Tang Ruan stood up abruptly.

But the shadow did not fly toward her. Instead, it landed on a low mountain peak not far away.

"Fen Tian!"

Tang Ruan shouted.

The black shadow seemed to glance in her direction.

But he did not fly over to her immediately.

Instead, he opened a space and released something.

In the night, Tang Ruan couldn't see clearly what it was, only feeling it was a pitch-black mass.

A Nine-Tailed Black Fox, even more gigantic than before, leaped out from Fen Tian's space.

The first thing it did was still to pounce at him.

This time, Fen Tian did not dodge or evade, but raised his hand to choke its throat.

The Nine-Tailed Black Fox twisted its body in pain, gradually turning into the appearance of Hu Che.

Hu Che held Fen Tian's wrist with both hands, his cheeks turning pink from suffocation.

Veins bulged on his fair, slender hands.

Fen Tian loved watching prey struggle to death in his hands.

He couldn't help but curl his lips.

"You are more interesting than I imagined."

"Fen Tian!"

A roar suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.

Fen Tian immediately let go.

Seeing Tang Ruan climbing up a rock, having already climbed up two steps.

"A-Wu..."

He hurriedly flew down to bring her down from the mountainside.

At this moment, Hu Che also transformed into a giant fox.

With a few leaps, he landed in front of Tang Ruan and transformed back into human form.

"Mistress!" Hu Che called out happily.

On his neck, red marks remained from where Fen Tian had choked him.

Tang Ruan pulled Hu Che behind her.

She questioned Fen Tian: "What do you want to do?"

Fen Tian looked innocent.

"I was just joking with him."

Tang Ruan was so angry she laughed.

"It's only a joke if both people find it funny!

Hu Che doesn't find it funny!

And I don't either!"

After Tang Ruan finished speaking, she took Hu Che's hand and left, not avoiding him anymore.

Fen Tian knew Tang Ruan was angry.

He hurriedly followed.

"I didn't use force..."

In the past, he often strangled beastmen to death in front of A-Wu.

She had never been angry.

Sometimes, she would even smile at him.

Because that was one of the few interesting things in their boring beast lives.

However, he forgot that the beastman in front of him was different.

A-Wu liked him.

A-Wu was also different from before; she had lived with beastmen for too long, and she had become very concerned about them.

Fen Tian, who had just realized this, was filled with regret.

He took two quick steps to block the path of Tang Ruan and Hu Che.

"I won't joke with him in the future.

I was just playing."

"It's not fun!" Tang Ruan said sternly.

Pulling Hu Che to continue walking, she was blocked by him again.

"I only played with him because I don't hate him as much as I used to." There was a trace of grievance in Fen Tian's expression.

Tang Ruan suddenly thought of the boys in elementary school who would deliberately pull her braids because they wanted to play with her.

Did they really not know that doing this was very annoying?

A trace of shock appeared on Hu Che's face.

Fen Tian actually said he didn't hate him that much anymore?

It seemed he wasn't completely cold-blooded and heartless.

Perhaps he really didn't know how to be a "normal" beastman.

"It's not fun."

Tang Ruan dropped these three words and dragged Hu Che to continue walking forward.

Fen Tian watched their backs, getting further and further away.

His hands slowly clenched into fists at his sides.

Suddenly, Hu Che pulled Tang Ruan.

"Big Brother took me to buy things for the Cub today.

He bought many things needed for when the Cub hatches, is born, and even when it's a little older."

Tang Ruan looked him up and down strangely.

"What do you mean?"

Hu Che: "Big Brother is actually very caring.

Maybe he just doesn't know how to get along normally with beastmen.

Doesn't know how to express liking someone.

How about we teach him?"

Hearing this, Fen Tian, who was about to get angry, suddenly let go.

The Stinky Fox was actually speaking up for him.

He trotted over.

"Right! A-Wu, I don't understand.

You teach me."

He was so tall, yet he frowned, pursed his lips, and looked at Tang Ruan with pitiful eyes.

It made her heart soften.

She didn't know who he learned that from.

Turning her head, she saw Hu Che, who also had his eyes wide open, looking at her expectantly.

Oh! He learned it from Hu Che.

It didn't look like it at all, but it had more of a contrast.

It made it even harder to stay angry.

"Then you are not allowed to bully people anymore." Tang Ruan said reluctantly.

Fen Tian: "Mm, mm, mm, mm."

---

The next day.

Fen Tian, Tang Ruan, and Hu Che came to the hatching cave.

Fen Tian dumped the things he bought yesterday out of his space.

It was another "clatter" as it piled into a small mountain.

Tang Ruan: ...

Hu Che walked over silently, squatted on the ground, and began to organize.

Fen Tian originally thought Tang Ruan would be happy to see these things.

Unexpectedly, she saw the half-person-high pile of things and immediately pulled a long face.

It wasn't until Hu Che walked over and started tidying up that her eyebrows relaxed.

So, he walked over, imitating Hu Che, and folded the things one by one.

Although it was folded in a mess, it was already a big improvement.

Tang Ruan tilted her head and looked at Fen Tian's broad back.

He was really trying hard to learn.

So, with the mindset of encouraging education, she walked over and gave Fen Tian a thumbs up.

"You folded that really well!"

The tone completely cosplayed a kindergarten teacher.

Fen Tian raised his head.

Opening a pair of blood-red eyes, he looked at her somewhat ignorantly.

Just when Tang Ruan thought she had caused his resentment because her praise was too childish, Fen Tian suddenly stood up.

He hugged Tang Ruan into his arms.

"Mistress praised me! I'm so happy!"

Tang Ruan: It's really about the same as a kindergarten kid.

After sorting the things out, Hu Che took out a piece of clean sheepskin and drew a design on it with ore.

"After the Cub is born, does it need to stay here for a while?" Hu Che asked.

Fen Tian: "Mm, mm, let it get stronger, and then I will take it away."

Hu Che: "Then we need to make a small bed for it."

"What is this drawing?"

"A quilt."

Listening to the two of them discussing back and forth, setting up a small nest for the Cub.

A wave of happiness surged in Tang Ruan's heart.

She reached out and touched the ghost crystal on her neck.

When Fen Tian looked up, he happened to see this scene.

He couldn't help but darken his face.
