190: Chapter 190 Egg:......

"Get out, quickly!" Tang Ruan shouted.

She was going crazy.

With Hu Che's level, he would be sucked dry by her in an instant.

Just like those two Witch Doctors!

As expected, the reality was no different.

The moment Hu Che stepped into the cave, he transformed into his giant fox form.

Fen Tian suddenly raised his head and glared at Hu Che.

"Don't come any further! If you die, she will be heartbroken."

Hu Che tilted his head slightly, seemingly smiling at her.

"She won't; the Mistress can't bear to let me die."

Immediately after, he took another step forward.

"Hu Che, get out!" Tang Ruan wished she could just kill herself.

Was she some kind of terrifying monster? She was going to suck everyone dry!

Her current range of influence hadn't even left this cave yet.

If the range grew any larger, would every beastman in the entire Dragon Valley, or even the entire Beast Kingdom, be killed by her?

She remembered the scene she saw on Beast God Mountain after Fen Tian placed her hand on the light orb.

The mountains of corpses, the hideous and withered faces, the dried bodies floating in the water—a scene like the end of the world.

It didn't look like Fen Tian and the others had killed them one by one.

It looked more like they were killed by her...

Tang Ruan felt a shock in her heart.

She had been so focused on being afraid back then; why hadn't she realized it might have been her doing?

She was the one who sucked away those people's Energy; she was the most terrifying "killing machine."

Rather than letting the entire world be destroyed because of her...

It would be better to—

Tang Ruan's gaze fell once again on the stone knife she had thrown on the ground.

She bent down and picked it up.

She had to stop herself; otherwise, Hu Che would die.

"Mistress! Put the knife down!" Hu Che shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Fen Tian wanted to turn around.

Tang Ruan scolded him loudly: "Don't move! If you dare let the egg get hurt, I'll hate you for the rest of my life."

Fen Tian knelt on the ground, not daring to move a muscle.

Because if he moved, he might truly be unable to resist A-Wu's Energy.

"What are you trying to do? Don't do anything foolish." Hu Che's eyes widened in horror as he ran toward her.

The more he ran, the smaller his form became...

Tang Ruan suddenly closed her eyes.

Raising the knife, she stabbed down near her heart.

"Don't you want the Baby anymore?"

Tang Ruan's knife stopped suspended just a centimeter from her chest.

She hadn't actually intended to die; she only wanted to seriously injure herself.

However, Hu Che's words still made her stay her hand.

What if she didn't control it well and actually died?

Hu Che crawled toward her with difficulty. "Don't you want the Baby anymore?

Lang Lie is back; he must still want to be your and his Cub, right?

He has waited for so long; do you have the heart to let him go?"

"He can—"

"He cannot!" Hu Che shouted loudly, seemingly guessing her thought of letting the Baby be born from someone else's belly.

Hu Che spoke in a threatening tone: "Believe it or not, if you die, the Baby will never want to come into this world again.

He finally has the chance to see his father and mother...

Tang Ruan, you are too cruel."

Hu Che deliberately said things to make her feel guilty.

Tang Ruan's emotions gradually sank, and the Energy of the surrounding Supernatural Ability progressively decreased.

Hu Che breathed a sudden sigh of relief.

He had guessed correctly.

Just now, he had suddenly realized that when Tang Ruan was emotionally agitated, the Energy of her Supernatural Ability would increase.

When her emotions were stable, the Supernatural Ability would decrease.

He made a bold hypothesis: if he wanted the Supernatural Ability to decrease but couldn't achieve calmness, would low spirits achieve the same effect?

By the time Hu Che reached Tang Ruan, he had been completely sucked into his small fox form.

At the same time, Tang Ruan's Supernatural Ability vanished.

He jumped onto the bed and gently rubbed his head against her hand.

"I'm sorry." Tang Ruan sat back on the bed and reached out to stroke Hu Che's head.

Suddenly, she felt pain in her body.

"It hurts... it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Clutching her lower abdomen, she rolled back onto the bed.

Earlier, while wrapped in Energy, she hadn't been able to feel the pain at all.

"It hurts... waaaaah..."

Tang Ruan's lips trembled from the pain; she was really afraid of pain!

Not being afraid of death didn't mean she wasn't afraid of pain!

Hearing her cries, Fen Tian placed the egg at the cave entrance and rushed to Tang Ruan.

"A-Wu!" He grabbed her hand in distress. "If you're in pain, just bite me! Biting me might make you feel a little better."

Hu Che also whimpered anxiously at her side.

The attention of both men was entirely on Tang Ruan.

They completely failed to notice something in the grass outside the cave.

A centipede-like monster was slowly straightening its upper body.

Its crescent-shaped teeth aimed at the egg that had been left all alone outside.

Egg: ...

"A-Wu, I won't let you lay any more eggs in the future."

Fen Tian kissed Tang Ruan's fingers with heartache.

Outside the cave, the monster's small claws had already landed on the eggshell.

Egg: ...

Tang Ruan suddenly had a premonition and looked past Fen Tian's shoulder.

She saw the monster outside the cave.

"Fen Tian!"

Tang Ruan cried out in alarm.

Fen Tian whipped his head around.

At the same time, Lang Lie and Yan Qing, who had just finished exterminating all the monsters, looked back as if sensing something.

They saw the monster opening its sickle-like teeth, about to bite down on the egg.

Everyone rushed toward the egg.

But none of them dared to use their Supernatural Ability.

Because any Supernatural Ability used on the monster would simultaneously affect the egg wrapped in its forelegs.

The monster's teeth landed on the egg.

At that moment, Fen Tian had already reached the cave entrance and reached out for the monster.

However, before his hand could touch it...

The monster instantly turned to ash and vanished with the wind...

Fen Tian: ...

Yan Qing: ...

Lang Lie: ...

Tang Ruan, who had rolled off the bed in her anxiety, widened her eyes.

She stared intently at a cluster of blue light swirling around the egg.

"It's a soul..."

Hu Che whimpered twice.

He ran to the egg, then back to Tang Ruan, then back to the egg again.

He seemed to be saying, "How could it have a soul so soon?"

Tang Ruan: "I don't know either.

But it definitely has a soul now."

As if responding to Tang Ruan, the egg rocked gently in the breeze.

Could it be the Baby?

---

A few days later, Tang Ruan's body had recovered somewhat.

She returned all the beastman Energy she had absorbed during the chaos.

The Witch Doctors Hu Che had brought didn't want to come at first, but now they didn't want to leave.

Seeing that Tang Ruan had successfully laid the egg, each of them used "caring for the Goddess's health" as an excuse to linger.

They even spontaneously sat together every day to research how to help her body recover and how to aid the egg's hatching.

It was almost as if they had established a "private medical team" for the Beast World.

"These old guys are quite shrewd! By taking good care of you and the egg...

They'll have enough to brag about for the rest of their lives!" Hu Che brought a spoonful of cooled food to Tang Ruan's lips.

Tang Ruan: "It's fine if they stay; we don't know how to take care of things anyway.

Besides, I want them to look at your condition again."

Tang Ruan had sucked away Hu Che's Energy.

But when she returned the Energy to him, she found that after Hu Che restored to a Mid-level Beastman, he couldn't rank up any further no matter what.

The Witch Doctors all said he had damaged his foundation and needed to recover slowly.

It was like a reservoir with a leak; it had to be patched before it could accumulate water again.

"I don't really mind," Hu Che said, "the First Beast Husband will protect me."

Fen Tian, who was staring indignantly at Hu Che feeding Tang Ruan, was taken aback.

"Who would protect a Stinky Fox like you!"

The two of them began bickering back and forth.

Lang Lie took the opportunity to take the bowl from Hu Che's hand.

He pulled Tang Ruan into his arms, feeding her as if he were holding a small child.

"Lang Lie, I can eat by myself."

"Don't move." His brow furrowed slightly, his voice a bit serious.

"Let me take care of you for a while. I want to take care of you."

Sensing the longing and bitterness in his tone...

Tang Ruan leaned against his chest and even rubbed against it.

Mmm... it's still as big as ever... hehe!

Suddenly, Hu Che's voice came from a distance, "Even the Merfolk Princess couldn't kill me! You think you can?"

"Don't compare me to a Female Beastman!"

Yan Qing, who had been sitting to the side, suddenly frowned. He stood up and walked over.

"What exactly happened while I was unconscious?" Yan Qing asked.

After explaining the sequence of events, Hu Che put his hands on his hips and said, "That stinking Female Beastman! She actually wanted to harm my Mistress!"

Fen Tian clenched his fists.

Yan Qing's eyes darkened.

Lang Lie also suddenly stopped what he was doing.

The three men suddenly looked at each other.
