206: Chapter 206 Teasing Someone's Future Wife...

Tang Ruan raised her hand, intending to take off the ring.

Lang Lie grabbed her hand.

"Not now."

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan said somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't say it was for now..."

She meant that as long as the ring was off, there would be a chance to conceive a Cub.

Although, it wasn't certain yet whether the soul in Fen Tian's egg was the Baby's.

But if it wasn't, the Baby would surely prefer to be their Cub.

Lang Lie curled his lips and smiled gently.

"I mean, you gave birth less than six months ago. I won't let you have another Cub so soon.

Wait at least a year, alright?"

He pulled her hand to his lips and kissed it.

Tang Ruan had thought Lang Lie would want the Baby to return as soon as possible.

She didn't expect him not to be as anxious as she was.

That was true...

Lang Lie had always cared more about her health than the Cub.

He had even wanted her to absorb the Cub's energy back then.

Because of that, it was a long time before the Baby dared to manifest its soul.

In the evening, when Tang Ruan returned holding Lang Lie's hand, she saw another stone platter at the door of their room.

This time, a whole roasted chicken was on the platter.

Tang Ruan: At this rate, she could support herself on offerings without even leaving the house.

The next day, Lang Lie needed to handle some matters.

Tang Ruan decided to go shopping with Potato.

The layout of the City Lord's Mansion was similar throughout: a large garden in the middle, surrounded by corridors that connected to the rooms.

It was all built according to the blueprints she had drawn many years ago.

Tang Ruan was walking along the corridor.

Suddenly, she heard light footsteps behind her.

She whipped her head around.

The pressure she released in that instant made the person behind her fall to their knees.

"It's you?" Tang Ruan frowned slightly.

It was the small Female Beastman who had been following Lang Mo.

The small Female Beastman held a large piece of roasted meat.

She said tremulously, "Please... please accept this, Goddess."

She hadn't expected Tang Ruan, who didn't look particularly strong for a Female Beastman, to possess such immense pressure.

The Goddess was indeed the Goddess; she was just different from beastmen like them, Hu Zhuzhu thought to herself.

"Were you the one who sent the previous items too?"

Tang Ruan retracted her pressure and took two steps toward her.

Hu Zhuzhu was so scared she didn't dare lift her head.

"Yes!"

"What is your name?"

"Hu Zhuzhu."

Tang Ruan: The name is quite cute.

The small Female Beastman looked only about sixteen or seventeen, the age for enjoying horoscopes and divination.

"Get up."

Tang Ruan reached out to help her.

With a "thud," Hu Zhuzhu was so startled that she dropped the platter in her hands.

She instantly transformed into a small black fox.

There was a tuft of vermilion fur on her chest that looked like a heart.

Ah! So she was a cute little thing whose Beast Form came with a love brain.

Tang Ruan clenched her fists to stop herself from picking her up and giving her a big kiss.

The small Female Beastman's dark, round eyes stared at Tang Ruan in terror.

Why was the Goddess looking at her with that kind of expression? It felt like she was going to eat her.

Tang Ruan: What excuse can I use to hug the little fox without being seen as a creep?

"Are you asking me to let you be with the Male Beastman you like?" Tang Ruan asked, intentionally using the tone of an old immortal from a TV drama.

"Mm-hmm." Hu Zhuzhu nodded.

"The Male Beastman you like is Lang Mo?" she guessed.

The little black fox's eyes sparkled with admiration.

The Goddess was truly the Goddess; she got it right away.

Tang Ruan: I can't control myself! So cute!

She slowly crouched down.

The little black fox curled into a ball.

"Then I shall bestow a blessing upon you now. You must do as I say," Tang Ruan said while stroking her soft, smooth fur.

"Lang Mo had a Mistress before, but she treated him very poorly."

The little black fox didn't react much; she had likely asked around about this long ago.

"So, he needs a Female Beastman who will love him wholeheartedly and sincerely."

The little black fox let out two "huffs," as if saying, "I can do it!"

That tiny voice struck Tang Ruan right in the heart.

She rubbed the fox's face with both hands.

So soft, so cute!

"How about this: start by making him some clothes. And tell him you want to bear his Cubs.

Oh! Right, you're not an adult yet, are you?

You can't try to seduce Lang Mo before you've come of age!"

Hu Zhuzhu: So the Goddess means it's okay after I come of age.

Great! She was only a few weeks away from adulthood!

While Tang Ruan gave her advice, she petted the little black fox all over.

Finally, she rubbed her fluffy tail lingeringly for a while before letting go.

"Alright! Go ahead and be bold! I will bless you!"

Looking up, she saw Lang Mo standing not far away.

His dark, sharp gaze fell on her hands, which had just finished petting the little black fox all over.

Tang Ruan: It's over.

He's really going to think I'm a creep!

---

While shopping with Potato, Tang Ruan told her about it.

Potato let out a screech like a Marmot.

"Since Lang Mo is willing to keep that little black fox around, it proves he likes her too!

Does she even need your advice?"

"But from what the little Female Beastman said, Lang Mo hasn't accepted her yet?"

"She hasn't come of age."

Tang Ruan: Uh... true.

Lang Mo should be around the same age as Lang Lie.

So he and the little black fox are basically an older man and a young girl.

He's already had one failed bonding experience, so he probably wants the little black fox to grow up a bit and become more mature before accepting her love!

Tang Ruan felt that saying so much to the little black fox was not only redundant but also made her look like a creep.

It was a total loss!

No, it wasn't a total loss—she got to pet the fox.

It's just that her image was likely ruined in the eyes of Lang Lie's brother.

Teasing someone's future Mistress...

Returning to the City Lord's Mansion that evening.

Tang Ruan originally planned to tell Lang Lie about it.

But then she felt that no matter how she put it, she had petted the little black fox on purpose.

There was no way to explain it clearly.

She was so conflicted she didn't sleep well.

When she woke up the next day, Lang Lie was gone.

That muttering sound came from outside the door again.

"I pray for the Goddess's protection..."

Tang Ruan thought Hu Zhuzhu had come again and hurriedly got dressed.

She planned to explain things to her.

She suddenly pulled the door open.

And saw kneeling at the door—

"Lang Yu?"

Lang Yu: ...

Lang Yu stood up awkwardly.

"Tang... Good morning, Goddess." He said as he prepared to turn and leave.

"Stop!" Tang Ruan called out to him. "Were you just... praying to me?"

Lang Yu scratched his head awkwardly.

He turned back.

His fair skin instantly turned as red as if it had been boiled.

"You're praying to me?" Tang Ruan raised her voice. "Is this your first day knowing me? What are you asking me for?"

"I'm asking for... the Female Beastman I like to like me back." Lang Yu lowered his head, his toes curling in embarrassment.

Tang Ruan: "I can't do that. I don't have that kind of power."

Because she had fooled the little black fox yesterday, her reputation was already ruined; she couldn't keep making things up.

"But Hu Zhuzhu got your blessing, and yesterday Lang Mo promised her that on the day she comes of age, he'll let her take him as her Beast Husband!" Lang Yu said excitedly.

Tang Ruan: That actually worked?

Then won't they have Cubs soon... ooh... fluffy little black fox Cubs would be even more fun.

"Tang Ruan, you have to help me..." Lang Yu's somewhat timid voice interrupted Tang Ruan's fantasy.

Tang Ruan: "I can't help."

Lang Yu's shoulders slumped in disappointment.

"Then I'll just have to find a way to pursue Rabbit Lady myself..."

He said as he slowly turned away.

Tang Ruan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wait! I actually can help with this!"
