214: Chapter 214 Obtaining such an adorable daughter without pain

The little Cub buried herself completely in Hu Che's embrace.

Hu Che lowered his eyes, staring at the Cub in his arms with some shock.

No one had told him that a Cub would be so soft, her hair so smooth, her body so tiny, and that she would smell so milky!

Ahhh!

Too cute!

Especially when the Cub looked up, he saw her facial features—a miniature version carved from almost the same mold as Tang Ruan's.

Hu Che silently sprayed a nosebleed in his heart.

I really want to have one like her...

Hu Che turned his head and looked at Tang Ruan expectantly.

It was decided; he wanted a female Cub, and he wanted to have such a cute female Cub with Tang Ruan!

At this moment, Tang Ruan also saw the Cub's appearance clearly.

She froze on the spot.

It was truly too similar; she looked exactly like Tang Ruan did in her childhood photos.

No!

A hundred times cuter than she was as a child!

Although Tang Ruan didn't remember things before the age of five, in her few photos, she was always jumping around and rolling on the ground.

How could she have been as delicate, soft, fair, and tender as Guo Guo?

She suddenly felt that if Guo Guo really were her Cub, it would be quite nice.

Gaining such a cute daughter without any pain—this was like a pie falling from the sky!

Tang Ruan couldn't help but lean in closer.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Guo Guo saw her approaching, she immediately turned around nervously.

She seemed particularly afraid of her.

But from time to time, she would turn back and steal a glance at Tang Ruan.

Sensing that she was shy around strangers, Tang Ruan squatted down next to Hu Che and watched her quietly.

Guo Guo pawed at the hand Hu Che was using to hold the fruit.

Hu Che then remembered, "Do you want to eat?"

Guo Guo nodded.

Only when Hu Che brought the fruit to her mouth did he realize that the fruit, which wasn't very large, was still too big for the Cub's small mouth.

"Wait a moment."

As he spoke, he took a small knife out of his spatial storage.

He intended to cut the fruit in half.

Who would have thought that when Guo Guo saw that knife,

She would suddenly let out an "ah" scream.

She pushed Hu Che's hand away and turned to see Tang Ruan.

As if seeing a savior, she plunged her head into Tang Ruan's embrace again.

Tang Ruan hurriedly held her, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Guo Guo didn't scream again.

She cringed, clutching Tang Ruan's top tightly, her whole body trembling.

Tang Ruan felt a wave of wetness on her neck.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt even more distressed.

"It's okay, it's okay, Guo Guo, don't be afraid."

Realizing that Guo Guo might be afraid of knives, Hu Che hurriedly put it away, looking at her with embarrassment and self-reproach.

City Lord Yang Youyou spoke up hesitantly, "This Cub has scars on her hands; she must have been cut before..."

Hearing this, Tang Ruan picked up one of her small hands.

She found that on her tiny wrist, which seemed so thin it would break with a gentle squeeze, there were actually seven or eight hideous cut marks scattered across it.

Looking further up, there were some on her arm as well.

"What is going on?" Tang Ruan said loudly.

Her pressure was released inadvertently.

The beastmen present were all forced to kneel down.

Even Lang Lie couldn't hold out and dropped to one knee.

The pressure Tang Ruan released this time was the strongest ever.

However, she herself was completely unaware.

She continued to hold Guo Guo, gently patting her back and lowering her head to coax her, "Guo Guo, don't be afraid. Uncle Hu Che was cutting the fruit for you to eat; he wasn't going to hurt you. With Auntie here, no one can hurt you."

Guo Guo looked up sobbing, her deep purple eyes like reflecting amethysts.

Deep, bright, mysterious...

One look and a person would sink in, unable to look away.

The tears hanging on her long eyelashes flickered, making Tang Ruan's heart tremble with every blink.

"Alright, Auntie will carry you out to play."

Tang Ruan picked her up.

She had held her younger brother before, and she had held Boss Dog's son.

But those were little boys; only after actually holding a little girl did she realize the feeling was completely different.

It truly felt like holding something in her hands and fearing it would drop, or holding it in her mouth and fearing it would melt.

Tang Ruan carried her like that, strolling through the garden of the City Lord's mansion.

Guo Guo's purple eyes appeared even brighter in the sunlight.

The more Tang Ruan looked, the more she liked her.

Before long, the two of them became well-acquainted.

Guo Guo pointed at a blooming little white flower, asking Tang Ruan to pick it for her.

Tang Ruan casually picked two.

She tucked one behind the girl's ear and placed the other in her hand.

Unexpectedly, the little thing actually raised her hand and tucked the one in her palm into Tang Ruan's hair.

Tang Ruan's heart felt as if it had melted; she couldn't help but give her two "muah muah" kisses on the cheek.

Hu Che, who had finally managed to climb up from the ground, watched this scene outside the door.

He raised his arm and rested it on Lang Lie's shoulder.

"Do you also suspect that Guo Guo is actually the Mistress's biological child?"

Lang Lie: "As long as she likes her, it's fine."

Hu Che summarized: "So you do suspect it then."

Tang Ruan and her group did not plan to stay in Sheep City.

After a brief rest, they intended to enter Dongdong Valley.

Unexpectedly, Guo Guo held onto Tang Ruan and refused to let go.

Whenever someone tried to pull her away from Tang Ruan, she would cry heart-wrenchingly.

Even though she couldn't speak, her cries were so loud.

Tang Ruan suspected that Guo Guo had been frightened into silence in the past, rather than having a problem with her vocal cords.

In the end, the little thing cried until she was almost exhausted.

Helplessly, Tang Ruan said to City Lord Yang Youyou, "How about... I take her to Dongdong Valley first, and when we leave, I'll bring her back."

City Lord Yang Youyou wished she could get rid of this hot potato immediately.

She hurriedly said, "Of course you can!"

"However, this Cub isn't from our Sheep City either. If the Goddess has better arrangements, that would be for the best."

Tang Ruan gave a couple of dry laughs.

Forget it, it felt like the City Lord of Sheep City really didn't like her.

It would be better to take her to Dongdong Valley and see if any Female Beastman was willing to take her in.

Leaving Sheep City, they arrived at Dongdong Valley.

Potato's Mother had already prepared a sumptuous feast.

Someone must have come to deliver the news while they were still in Sheep City.

After eating, Tang Ruan distributed gifts to the Marmot Beastmen.

The Marmot Beastmen, who had originally become restrained due to Tang Ruan's status, seemed to return to their old selves through their conversation.

Meanwhile, Lang Lie stood not far away, holding Guo Guo.

Because while eating just now, Lang Lie had noticed that Guo Guo couldn't bite through large pieces of meat, so without using a knife, he used his claw wind to cut the meat into small pieces.

Having eaten something delicious, Guo Guo accepted by default that Lang Lie was a good person.

And Hu Che helped Tang Ruan distribute things.

"Looking at it this way, this Beast Husband of yours is quite good-looking," Potato suddenly leaned over and said.

Tang Ruan turned her head and glanced at Lang Lie, "Our Lang Lie was always very handsome, okay!"

Potato: ...

Potato: "I'm talking about this one."

She pointed at Hu Che.

Tang Ruan: ...

Isn't the aesthetic of your Marmot Tribe different from other tribes?

Why is Hu Che's looks able to cross aesthetic barriers!

She suddenly thought of Hu Mo; back then, Mushus Wife was very taken with his face.

Hu Mo had been bitten to death by a monster in Dongdong Valley, leaving no corpse behind.

So this place was actually Hu Mo's burial ground.

Would Hu Che be very sad here?

Thinking this, Tang Ruan hurried to finish distributing the gifts, intending to spend more time with him.

In the end, she turned her head,

Only to find that Hu Che had disappeared.
