234: Chapter 234 Jiao Luo: He's quite good at pleasing females.

Hearing Jiao Luo's voice, Tang Ruan did not look back at her.

Instead, she immediately looked at the Water Mirror on the wall.

The Water Mirror was nearly half the size it had been just now.

Not long ago, Heng Zhou had whispered to her.

The Water Mirror was created by Jiao Luo using the Power of the Beast God and required the consumption of that power to function.

And last time, he had diluted the blood he gave her with water.

Therefore, if Jiao Luo continued to use the Water Mirror to spy everywhere as before, consuming Energy.

The Water Mirror would soon disappear; when that happened, they would have a chance to act behind her back.

Because Tang Ruan was now by his side, Jiao Luo absolutely lacked the courage to approach him to take her away.

However, she didn't know if Jiao Luo would use Guo Guo as a threat when the time came.

Ideally, they could find an opportunity to get Guo Guo to their side as well.

Because it would take several days for the Power of the Beast God to combine with the Jiao Clan's Energy.

So, Jiao Luo would likely only realize something was wrong just before the Water Mirror was about to vanish...

“What? Don't you usually take it once every five or six days?

Why have you come after only three days this time?” Heng Zhou’s nonchalant voice drifted over, interrupting Tang Ruan’s thoughts.

Only then did Tang Ruan stand beside him, facing Jiao Luo together with him.

She saw Guo Guo behind Jiao Luo, with a knife held to her neck by a Jiao Clan Male Beastman.

Tang Ruan clenched her fists.

Jiao Luo’s eyes widened, and she asked fiercely, “Did you tamper with the blood?

Why is there so little Energy in the blood this time?”

Heng Zhou: “Haven’t you been monitoring me the whole time?

What could I have possibly done?

Blame only your ordinary soul and more-than-ordinary body, which are not suited for storing the Power of the Beast God.

They only consume it blindly, unlike me, who can slowly recover.

You’ve set up so many flashy, useless things; of course it consumes quickly!”

Heng Zhou’s tone sounded extremely provocative.

Sometimes, Tang Ruan was truly afraid that Jiao Luo would suddenly rush over and slap him.

The thought had barely crossed her mind.

Jiao Luo actually stepped forward a few paces.

Suddenly, she froze in place, and in the silence, her eyes met Heng Zhou’s blindfolded ones.

Tang Ruan: ...

So Heng Zhou was intentionally provoking her!

Had he already brought her under control?

A few seconds later.

Jiao Luo’s look of consternation gradually turned into mockery.

“Want to manipulate me?

Don’t forget, I also have the Power of the Beast God inside me!”

As Jiao Luo spoke, she quickly backed away several steps.

Just now, Heng Zhou’s voice had suddenly echoed in her mind.

He said, “A little closer, just a little closer, and I can kill her...”

Jiao Luo retreated all the way to the main entrance in one breath.

Jiao Luo: That was terrifying, I was almost controlled by him.

Fortunately, another voice had suddenly popped into her head just now, “Leave quickly! He will kill you!”

That was what had saved her life.

Heng Zhou stared at the panicked Jiao Luo and said disdainfully, “Useless. A worthless beastman like you can only dream of making a move against me.”

Jiao Luo suddenly clenched her fists.

Streams of water attacked from all directions like a spiderweb, heading toward Heng Zhou, who was trapped against the pillar.

Heng Zhou’s brow furrowed, and a burst of Energy exploded outward, carrying the water with it.

One of the streams shot directly toward the Water Mirror on Heng Zhou’s left.

Jiao Luo hadn’t expected Heng Zhou to still be able to manipulate Energy and hurriedly moved the Water Mirror’s position.

Only then was the Water Mirror saved from being destroyed.

Her Energy was no longer sufficient to sustain the Water Mirror; it only needed the slightest external impact.

It would shatter instantly.

She hurriedly moved the Water Mirror to her side.

Suddenly, she saw Heng Zhou cough up a large mouthful of blood.

“Heng Zhou!” Tang Ruan shouted worriedly, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, I was just hit by a backlash from forcibly clashing with the Seal.”

Jiao Luo gave a cold laugh.

“Who is the—useless one now!”

She turned to Tang Ruan and threw the knife and the conch cup over.

“Hurry up and take the blood, otherwise—”

Jiao Luo’s voice stopped abruptly.

Because she suddenly noticed that Guo Guo had somehow slipped away from the beastman holding her.

Right now, she was like a crazed little bird, slamming headlong into the Water Mirror by her hand.

The Water Mirror shattered upon impact.

“Guo Guo!” Tang Ruan ran toward her.

“Come back!”

Heng Zhou’s voice froze Tang Ruan in place.

“Ouch!”

Guo Guo rubbed her head and sat on the ground with a thud.

She wiped her eyes, which were wet with seawater, quickly scrambled up, and rushed toward Heng Zhou and Tang Ruan.

This was also unexpected for Heng Zhou.

Halfway through Guo Guo’s run, a stream of water suddenly descended from above, dragging her off the ground.

“Mama! Mama! Ma—”

She flailed her limbs desperately.

“Pa—”

At the same time Guo Guo’s voice rang out.

Heng Zhou’s heart suddenly leaped, as if some power had been awakened in an instant.

He stared at Jiao Luo and concentrated his mind.

“He will use my Supernatural Ability to kill me in reverse!” A sentence suddenly popped into Jiao Luo’s mind.

She was so frightened she immediately let go.

Without the slightest hesitation, Guo Guo scrambled up and ran, diving straight into Heng Zhou’s abdomen.

She called out the full word— “Papa!”

She looked up at him with wide, tear-filled eyes.

Tang Ruan looked at her own open arms, which no Cub had crawled into.

She thought with a hint of jealousy: The treatment of a biological father and a godmother is indeed different.

Heng Zhou: “Good girl.”

He only said those two words before proudly lifting his head to look at Jiao Luo.

Just now, when Jiao Luo was close to him, he had implanted a thought in her mind.

“He will kill her.”

Once a thought was formed, it would follow like a shadow.

This was the common method he used in the past to help the Former Beast God slaughter beastmen.

If one simply ordered someone to kill another, there was always the possibility of the killer being killed in return.

But if everyone suspected that the person beside them would kill them, they would kill everyone around them for self-preservation.

The last one left alive would then be handed over to Duan Shi and Fen Tian to deal with.

With his current strength, if he directly told Jiao Luo to die, she likely wouldn't listen to him.

However, making her believe that there was a mortal danger as long as she stayed close was still achievable.

His original plan was to drive Jiao Luo away.

Then, find a way to bewitch a member of the Jiao Clan to bring Guo Guo over.

Finally, he would wait for the Water Mirror to completely disappear.

Then he could begin his escape plan.

He just hadn't expected Guo Guo to be so brave.

In one go, she had completed his steps one, two, and three in a single bound.

Good.

Now that the three of them were together, who else would dare come forward to seek death?

Jiao Luo had never expected things to develop this way.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

She no longer had anything to threaten him with.

Suddenly, one of the Jiao Clan Male Beastmen behind her said with a trembling voice, “Guo Guo, come back quickly, it’s time for dinner.”

He had actually momentarily felt sorry for the Cub just now and hadn't held her tight.

She must come back! Otherwise, he would be doomed.

Guo Guo hugged Heng Zhou’s fish tail, turned her head, and made a face.

Jiao Clan Male Beastman: ...

Jiao Luo’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Tang Ruan, “If you don’t help me take the blood, I won’t give your Cub any food!”

Although Heng Zhou and Tang Ruan’s Energy was sealed, the Energy was still there; they would only be hungry but wouldn't die if they didn't eat for ten days or half a month.

But the Cub was different.

Jiao Luo looked at Tang Ruan triumphantly, waiting for her to give in.

“Fine! Bring the food, and take the blood now,” Heng Zhou said.

Tang Ruan and Jiao Luo both looked at Heng Zhou.

Jiao Luo: It’s... that simple?

Doesn't he know that this Cub isn't his?

Heng Zhou turned to Tang Ruan, his expression very gentle, “We still need to let the Cub eat her fill first.”

Jiao Luo: He’s quite good at pleasing females.

---

Late at night.

After confirming that Jiao Luo would not return.

The Jiao Clan Male Beastman left in the room to guard Heng Zhou and the others silently walked out.

Closing the door, he leaned against it.

It was still safer outside.

Inside the room, the three who were supposedly fast asleep opened their eyes at the same time.

Heng Zhou’s voice echoed in Tang Ruan and Guo Guo’s minds, “Prepare to move!”
