185: Chapter 185 Can A-Wu still let go of him?

Hu Che took a step forward. "What do you mean by that?"

The young Witch Doctor looked up and pointed at the group of Witch Doctors behind him.

"We all know the Goddess's situation."

"Many years ago, her condition was a problem that we Witch Doctors couldn't solve."

"She... she cannot transform into her Beast Form."

"Egg-laying Beastmen must be in their Beast Form when giving birth."

"Even though the eggs are soft when they first come out, they are rounder and larger than those of viviparous births. It's impossible for a human form to give birth to them."

Hu Che's eyes widened in shock.

The Fox Tribe was viviparous, so he truly didn't understand these matters.

But Yan Qing must have known.

So, was this the reason he didn't want Tang Ruan to have Cubs?

No, he had mentioned it to him before.

The reason he didn't want Tang Ruan to have Cubs was because he felt her level wasn't high enough, and he feared the Cubs would absorb too much Energy and harm her.

Just like her mother, who had risked her life to give birth to him.

But she passed away shortly after giving birth.

However, Yan Qing's mother was also of the Snake Tribe.

Since Yan Qing's primary concern was the Energy issue,

Looking at it from another angle, did that mean he had a way to control the size of the egg or allow the egg to be born healthy ahead of time?

"Then... what if it's premature?" Hu Che asked.

For a moment, the Witch Doctors looked at each other and couldn't help but start discussing.

"I've encountered it, but it's very hard for them to survive."

"I've actually seen some survive..."

"They simply don't hatch..."

...

"So you're saying there have been successes, right?" Hu Che asked loudly.

The young Witch Doctor looked at Hu Che again.

"Yes! But only one or two out of a hundred..."

"It's usually because the Female Beastman didn't want the Cub anymore, and the absorption wasn't successful."

"So her body was damaged, and it came out prematurely."

"The Male Beastman couldn't bear it and took it back to hatch it himself, but basically..."

The young Witch Doctor hesitated before continuing, "Even if they survive, they are all disabled."

Hu Che: ...

How was he supposed to tell Fen Tian?

But even if Fen Tian agreed not to have this egg, would the Mistress agree?

She was looking forward to it so much...

Hu Che called in several more groups of Witch Doctors to ask.

The results were all the same.

He sat on a stone chair, pinching the bridge of his nose.

He had brought in almost every Witch Doctor in the entire Beast Kingdom who had experience with delivery.

The results were without exception.

Suddenly, he realized he had forgotten a few very important people.

"Witch Doctors!" Hu Che suddenly jumped up from his chair.

Standing beside him, the sleeping Chief Hu Xiao was startled awake.

"Where? Where?"

Chief Hu Xiao had been accompanying Hu Che for several days and nights without sleep.

He had just dozed off for a moment and dreamed that hundreds of Witch Doctors were lining up to help the Goddess give birth.

Then he was shouted awake by Hu Che.

"There are three Witch Doctors we forgot!"

"Who?"

"The ones by Yan Qing's side."

Back then, in order to give his Energy to Lang Lie, Yan Qing had specifically invited the three Old Witch Doctors he trusted most in the Snake Tribe to Central City.

Not only did they have special abilities, but they were also the oldest in the Snake Tribe.

Each of them was nearly three hundred years old.

Chief Hu Xiao had heard of these three Beastmen.

"But will they know how to deliver Cubs?" Chief Hu Xiao asked doubtfully.

"They don't need to know how. They just need to know if the Snake Tribe has a way to let an egg reach full term without growing too large."

As Hu Che spoke, he headed out the door.

Finally, that evening, they arrived at Central City.

"There is!"

The three Old Witch Doctors spoke in unison.

"The Old Snake King doted on his Mistress very much. In the beginning, he didn't want his Mistress to conceive Cubs."

"He searched throughout the entire Beast World and found a type of gemstone."

"This gemstone can prevent a Female Beastman from conceiving. He made the gemstone into a ring and gave it to his Mistress."

"Later, the Old Snake King's Mistress discovered she had still secretly conceived a Cub."

"Although the Old Snake King's Mistress was also of the Snake Tribe, her Beast Form was a red snake much smaller than his."

"So, the Old King found another very rare gemstone."

"Used in conjunction with that ring, it could control the egg to grow to a size suitable for birth and then stop growing."

Finally, the Old Witch Doctor who was speaking finished his slow explanation.

Hu Che asked impatiently, "Where is that gemstone?"

"It has always been with the Snake King," another Old Witch Doctor said.

"Thank you!"

Hu Che gave a slight bow.

He turned around and rushed back to Red Fox City without stopping.

He and Fen Tian had agreed to let him come to Red Fox City every three days.

Tomorrow was the day they had agreed to meet.

Midway, Chief Hu Xiao suddenly fainted from exhaustion and stayed with the Sparrow Tribe to rest.

Hu Che's Beast Form had just stepped into the City Lord's Mansion.

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit him.

His Beast Form abruptly turned into a small fox form.

Just a second before he was about to hit the ground,

A large hand suddenly grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.

"Useless fox."

His blurred vision gradually cleared, and Fen Tian's arrogant and disgusted face appeared before him.

"Fen Tian, I know how to help the Mistress..."

The next second, Hu Che fainted.

However, it wasn't long before he woke up again.

Fen Tian was squatting on the ground.

He nudged Hu Che, who was lying on the ground.

Around them were Beastmen holding weapons, standing ready.

But no one dared to step forward.

Because just now, this Beastman had only slightly released his pressure, and it made all the guards in the City Lord's Mansion kneel.

"Stinky Fox, stop playing dead and speak up!"

Hu Che felt an unprecedented Energy surging within his body.

It jolted him so much that for a moment, he felt like vomiting.

He knew that Energy came from Fen Tian; he had actually shared Energy with him.

Furthermore, Fen Tian had only made a small move,

And it had forcibly raised him from a High-level Beastman with no rank to at least level two.

Hu Che scrambled up.

"Come inside with me to talk."

Seeing Hu Che's casual attitude toward Fen Tian, the guards finally lowered their weapons.

They let out a long sigh of relief.

Because if they really had to fight, they truly couldn't win!!!

But the guards' hearts hadn't even been at ease for three seconds,

Before that Beastman's roar came from the City Lord's room.

"Stinky Fox! You're trying to trick me!"

A massive pressure spread out in all directions along with his voice.

Almost all the Beastmen in Red Fox City were pinned to the ground at the same time.

Hu Che struggled to roll over and face upward.

Lying flat, he said, "If you don't believe me, you can go to Central City and find those three Witch Doctors to ask."

Fen Tian glared at him, turned, and left.

Hu Che immediately regretted it.

The Witch Doctors wouldn't be killed by him, would they?

A short while later, Fen Tian returned.

His lips were pressed tight, and his chest was heaving; he looked very angry, but he didn't release any more pressure.

Hu Che: "Did you ask?"

"Yes."

Hu Che: "I wouldn't lie to you about the Mistress's matters."

Meaning he might very well lie about other things?

At that thought, Fen Tian glared at Hu Che.

Hu Che said calmly, "The priority now is to find Yan Qing and bring him over."

Fen Tian: Bring over that snake she's always thinking about.

Then would there still be room for him in A-Wu's heart?

Seeing Fen Tian silent, Hu Che knew he was already thinking about this.

He was still a bit worried about those three innocent Witch Doctors.

They were people Yan Qing valued, elders of the Snake Tribe.

"Fen Tian, you didn't hurt those three old beasts, did you?"

"No!"

Hu Che breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just set their beards on fire."

Hu Che: ...
