181: Chapter 181 "So good at acting cute, I wonder where she learned it from..."

"Do you live in Red Fox City?" Lang Lie asked.

The Black Fox Female Beastman nodded.

"Then you should go find Chief Hu Xiao." As Lang Lie said this, he went to close the door.

The Black Fox Female Beastman wanted to say something more, but She Mu suddenly flashed in front of her.

It scared her so much that she took a few steps back.

At this moment, Chief Hu Xiao came running over quickly from the distance.

"Why did you come here?"

The Black Fox Female Beastman looked at Chief Hu Xiao and said with her hands on her hips, "All my sheep were snatched away by a big bird! You aren't doing anything about it! Of course I have to come find the Beast King!"

Chief Hu Xiao said helplessly, "What kind of bird can snatch a dozen sheep at once? That must be a Beastman. I didn't say I wouldn't do anything, it just takes time."

"Hmph! If I leave today, you High-level Beastmen won't care about the lives of us Low-level Beastmen at all!"

The Black Fox Female Beastman simply crossed her arms and sat on the ground, refusing to leave.

Chief Hu Xiao hurriedly apologized with a smile to Lang Lie and She Mu, "This Black Fox tribe member wandered into Red Fox City a few years ago and had always been bullied by Rogue Beasts before.

I saw she was pitiful, so I gave her some animals to raise outside the city.

The meat for the City Lord's mansion is also supplied by her.

She came to deliver meat today and suddenly said all her sheep were stolen... I'm really sorry she ran all the way here!"

Chief Hu Xiao was clearly speaking up for this young Female Beastman.

Lang Lie hadn't intended to make an issue of it anyway.

Just as he was about to close the door, Yan Qing suddenly appeared at the entrance.

"Did you see your sheep being snatched away with your own eyes?"

The young Female Beastman recognized Yan Qing's signature green eyes and immediately knelt down.

"Beast King! I saw it with my own eyes! He was incredibly fast, and then he just vanished!" The young Female Beastman gestured exaggeratedly.

"Black wings?" Yan Qing asked.

The young Female Beastman was stunned.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Darker skin tone."

The young Female Beastman thought for a moment.

She had always assumed it was a big bird, so it was normal for the feathers on its body to be dark.

Now that she thought about it, it really could have been a Beastman.

Seriously! The Beast Kingdom had been established for so many years! And someone still dared to steal things! It was a good thing she had the Beast King to uphold justice!

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm!"

"Take us there! Immediately!" Yan Qing walked out of the room quickly.

Through this Q&A between Yan Qing and the Black Fox Female Beastman, the others had all figured out the clues.

Black wings, dark skin—wasn't that the Beast God!

Although he possessed the Power of the Beast God, his behavior was extremely self-willed.

Tang Ruan liked to eat lamb. Therefore, it was not strange at all that he would steal sheep.

Yan Qing strode forward, moving with great speed.

Needless to say, Lang Lie was always fast.

The young Female Beastman was already running, but she kept falling behind.

The two of them turned back and shot her an anxious look simultaneously.

It scared the young Female Beastman so much she almost fainted.

The pressure from High-level Beastmen was too terrifying.

Just then, Lang Mo walked in from the opposite direction.

"Lang Mo! Carry her on your back, we're going somewhere." Lang Lie said.

Lang Mo glanced at the young Female Beastman behind them. He immediately shifted into his Beast Form and signaled for her to get on.

The young Female Beastman looked at the giant black wolf before her and walked over slowly.

Her mother had said before she died that a Female Beastman shouldn't just climb onto a Male Beastman's back unless he was the Beast Husband she had chosen.

But the situation was urgent; the Beast King himself was going to help her, and she couldn't hold them back.

Moreover, he had the same Beast Form as her, both were black... it felt very familiar.

The young Female Beastman climbed onto Lang Mo's back.

The others immediately shifted into their Beast Forms as well.

A moment later, they appeared on the hillside where the young Female Beastman had lost her sheep.

"This is the place. He went 'whoosh' and just vanished." The young Female Beastman said.

Lang Lie lowered his head to scan the surroundings. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He ran over and picked up a black crystal the size of a tooth ball fruit from the ground.

"Yan Qing!" In his pleasant surprise, he called the Beast King by his name directly.

In private, the two of them always called each other by name. Therefore, Yan Qing didn't think it was inappropriate and immediately flashed to his side.

"A crystal!" Lang Lie handed the crystal to him.

Yan Qing examined it carefully. "It's a very rare black crystal. I've seen it at Beast God Mountain."

Now everyone was certain.

He hadn't just taken the sheep; he had also left a crystal in exchange.

"So... did he buy them?" The young Female Beastman gazed longingly at that crystal.

Goodness, such a big piece; she had never seen one like it in her entire life!

Never mind buying her dozen sheep; back when the Beast World was chaotic, it would have been enough to buy a dozen Beastmen!

She wanted it... but she didn't dare ask the Beast King for it.

Just at that moment, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her.

In the palm, there was a small pouch made of patterned animal hide.

"The crystals inside aren't as big, but all of them added together are more than enough to exchange for that one." Lang Mo said.

The young Female Beastman met his deep, bright, black-gem-like eyes. She took it somewhat bashfully.

"Thank you..." She lowered her head, her earlobes turning a bit red.

Just now her mind was full of sheep; she hadn't noticed that this black wolf was so handsome. She wondered if he had a Mistress?

He probably didn't.

Those other Beastmen didn't dare carry her, but only he did, which proved he had no one to manage him...

The young Female Beastman took a deep breath and looked up, just about to ask Lang Mo about himself, but saw that he had already flashed over to the fierce-looking grey-haired Male Beastman.

"Boss, we searched along the river together, but we haven't seen the end of the river yet. However, in one place, several newly grown thorn trees were uprooted."

"Thorn trees?" Lang Lie asked curiously.

Thorn trees were a type of plant that grew over a person's height, with trunks covered in arm-length sharp spikes. They were very drought-resistant and grew wildly when they encountered water.

They must have grown after the river was formed. Because this plant had no leaves or fruit, even animals wouldn't eat it. Usually, when they grew in places where Beastmen lived, everyone would clear them away in time.

But after clearing them, they would just be thrown aside, or Beastmen with Fire Elemental Ability would burn them off by the way. No one would actually bring them back.

After thinking for a moment, Lang Lie knitted his brows and said, "He is the one who took them."

"Who?" As soon as the word left Lang Mo's mouth, he understood.

They had the lamb, so didn't they need skewers!

Recalling the days of roasting meat with Tang Ruan, Lang Lie suddenly smiled. He really missed it. Her taste had truly not changed at all.

He looked at Yan Qing, and the two of them exchanged a knowing look and nodded simultaneously. As long as they kept following this river, they would definitely be able to find their Mistress.

---

Dragon Valley.

Following several loud bangs as things landed, the thorn trees fell from the sky and landed on a giant rock. The sharp spikes on the trees snapped off, scattering all over the ground with a rustling sound.

Tang Ruan and Hu Che were both awakened simultaneously. They rushed outside the cave.

They saw a black whirlwind, wrapping around hundreds of red sharp spikes, circling not far away.

Hu Che immediately pulled Tang Ruan behind him. Who knew, the whirlwind then vanished, revealing Fen Tian behind it, clutching a bundle of red branches.

"A-Wu!" Fen Tian ran over. Seeing Hu Che holding Tang Ruan's hand, he pushed him to the side.

"Look, how about using these as skewers?"

"This is... a thorn tree!"

Tang Ruan recognized it. If the branches of this tree were used as medicinal herbs, they had a certain effect of clearing heat and reducing internal fire. It was perfect to pair with lamb.

"Fen Tian, you are really amazing!"

Tang Ruan wanted to kiss him as a reward. Seeing the sharp spikes in his arms, she changed her mind and stood on tiptoe to pat his head instead.

Fen Tian also cooperated by tilting his body to let her pat him, a happy smile appearing on his face.

"So good at acting spoiled, I wonder who you learned that from..."
