216: Chapter 216: It's understandable that the emperor doesn't hold morning court.

Several people ran to the front of the cave.

Behind the cave, surrounded by mountains, was the monster under the Seal.

The monster roared crazily, causing the mountain body to tremble slightly.

It seemed as if there was some huge temptation here that made them determined to break out of their cage.

Hu Che clenched his fists and took a step forward.

He wanted to kill these monsters!

The Lion Clan had already been wiped out by the Red Fox Tribe, so the next ones to go would be them, the ones who bit his big brother to death!

Lang Lie grabbed his arm.

"These monsters are not easy to deal with."

He had already been very subtle; how could Hu Che not understand?

If a Mid-level Beastman like him went in, it would just be an extra meal for the monsters!

Damn it!

Why couldn't he kill all these things!

"Wait for the egg to hatch, and then let Fen Tian come."

Tang Ruan's casual remark woke everyone up.

Hu Che: "That's right!"

Having spent so long with the Stinky Bird, he had forgotten that he was very strong.

Seeing Hu Che stunned, Tang Ruan was afraid he didn't understand Fen Tian's strength, so she added, "Back at Beast God Mountain, he just flicked his fingers and burned a mountain full of monsters to death."

There was a hint of pride in her tone.

Hu Che lowered his head, "Oh."

By comparison, he was really useless.

Moreover, how should he repay the Stinky Bird?

Tang Ruan seemed to see through his thoughts.

She continued, "We are all family, helping each other is only right.

The nest you made for Xiao Yi was very good!

In the future, when he needs you again, you can just help him then."

Hu Che: "Alright then..."

Hu Che convinced himself.

There was no point in comparing strength with Fen Tian; even if he were reincarnated, he wouldn't be as powerful as him.

Only Lang Lie clenched his fists.

He needed to become stronger; even if he couldn't be as strong as Fen Tian, he must make Tang Ruan look at him with admiration.

The monster called for a while, then stopped.

Tang Ruan guessed that they were coming for her.

Fen Tian had said that these things were raised by the previous generation's Beast God.

After the power within her gradually awakened, perhaps it made them feel a familiar aura.

Tang Ruan was spending the day with Hu Che.

The Marmot Tribe had kept the cave for her in their territory, as well as the cave she had with Lang Lie back at the original Wolf Clan territory.

Hearing they were coming today, they had specially decorated it.

The moon had just hung over the treetops.

Hu Che was already in bed.

He lay on his side on the bed, one leg bent at the knee, one hand supporting his head.

With his other hand, he patted the soft fur, a smug smile on his face.

"Mistress, here, here!"

Tang Ruan: ...

Even though the Marmot Tribe all slept very early.

At this moment, she could still hear the voices of a few Marmot Beastmen chatting outside the cave.

Wouldn't this be sleeping too early?

If someone came looking for her...

And they were caught, how embarrassing that would be...

Tang Ruan was just thinking about this.

The voice of Tudou came from the cave entrance, "Tang Ruan, are you there?"

Speak of the devil.

Hu Che pouted and rolled over onto his back.

He said lifelessly, "You go ahead..."

Tang Ruan walked out of the cave.

She saw Tudou holding a small blanket, a pair of round little eyes staring at her, sparkling in the twilight.

"Can I sleep with you?"

When she was in Wolf City, Tudou had wanted to talk with Tang Ruan late into the night.

But she was considerate of the fact that Tang Ruan and Lang Lie hadn't been able to spend time together properly for many years.

So she had been tactful and didn't disturb them.

During that time with the Wolf Clan, it was always when Lang Lie wasn't around that she would chat and walk around with Tang Ruan; they never had the chance to sleep together.

In short—it was a pity!

Now that Tang Ruan was back, Tudou had come over with her little blanket.

"What? Is it inconvenient?" Seeing Tang Ruan's troubled expression, Tudou asked.

Tang Ruan: "It's not that... it's just..."

She was a little embarrassed to speak up, as it would make her seem like she prioritized her lover over her friend.

However, she had already agreed with Hu Che.

Besides, after she left Beast God Mountain, she hadn't been with Hu Che.

Counting it up, it had been almost half a year, and she felt a bit sorry for him.

"You want to keep the fox company?" Tudou glanced into the cave and teased, "That's true! Such a beautiful Male Beastman, who could refuse him!"

Tang Ruan thought she was angry and was about to say something.

Hu Che's voice came from inside the cave.

"Is that Tudou?

I have always heard the Mistress mention you, saying you are her best friend.

Please come in and sit!

I have prepared a gift for you personally!"

Hearing Hu Che say this, Tudou didn't stand on ceremony.

He was the first of Tang Ruan's Beast Husbands to think about preparing a gift for her personally.

He was truly so sensible!

Tudou hugged her little blanket and slipped inside.

Half an hour later...

Tudou walked out on her own.

Around her neck hung a bright red necklace made from a heart-shaped fruit pit.

In her hand, she carried a small package containing nuts she had never eaten before.

Tudou took Tang Ruan's hand and said earnestly, "Tang Ruan, you must be good to this Beast Husband of yours.

He is such a good person!"

After seeing Tudou off, Tang Ruan returned to the cave.

The sky had just turned completely dark.

Hu Che had returned to his previous pose.

He patted the pillow beside him.

"Mistress, here, here!"

---

Tang Ruan thought that since they started early, they would finish early too.

Who knew, it was different from the madness under the influence of the love-chaos herb at Beast God Mountain.

Tonight, with Hu Che, there was no such thing as starting and ending.

He stuck to her like a piece of chewing gum.

Even when sleeping, he couldn't bear to leave her body.

"Hu Che, you're pressing on me, I can't sleep."

Whenever she moved even slightly, it would start all over again.

Hu Che raised his head, panting slightly.

His eyes and brows were still flushed with crimson.

"Then let you press on me instead, how about that?"

He held her and agilely rolled over.

Now Tang Ruan was on top, but her sleepiness was gone.

Hu Che bit his lower lip in restraint, "Mistress—"

Calling out in a way that made Tang Ruan's heart melt.

"Can you—" His voice was full of unbearable emotion.

Tang Ruan had no choice but to nod.

Consequently, there was another bout of tossing and turning.

And, more often than not.

It was Tang Ruan who was stirred up by his expressions and movements.

Even when she was exhausted, she still wanted to cuddle with Hu Che.

Tang Ruan even suspected she had been drugged by him.

"Is this the Charm Technique of your Red Fox Tribe?"

Tang Ruan looked down at him from above.

The corners of Hu Che's mouth curled into a smile, "It is because the Mistress loves me too much."

Such confident words, spoken from his mouth, did not make one feel the slightest bit of repulsion.

Tang Ruan wanted to deliberately suppress her feelings.

He suddenly reached out, hooked his arm around her neck, and pressed her towards himself.

"Mistress, don't be so stingy.

I am yours; what is wrong with being a little greedy?"

As he said this, he used his fingers to lift her chin and kissed her again.

That night, Tang Ruan barely slept.

It wasn't that she was forced by Hu Che, but that she was always unable to fall asleep because she was being enticed by him.

Finally, in the morning, she slept for a short while.

When she woke up.

Hu Che was snuggled against her chest, holding her waist tightly.

Tang Ruan's chin rested on his soft hair.

When his hair was illuminated by the sunlight, it reflected a charming golden-orange glow.

She unconsciously kissed the crown of his head.

She wanted to get up, but was afraid of waking him.

Therefore, it is actually understandable for a monarch not to hold morning court.

Suddenly, Hu Che squirmed twice in her arms.
