237: Chapter 237 When did he make other friends behind his back?

"He—"

As Jiao Luo's voice fell...

A crisp crack sounded within her mouth.

Fresh blood surged from Jiao Luo's mouth; some flowed into her throat, making her want to cough, but she couldn't.

Fen Tian threw her onto the ground in disgust.

Jiao Luo rolled on the ground in pain, crawling and trembling as she raised a hand to point at Heng Zhou.

Her eyes were filled with the pleasure of revenge.

"..." Jiao Luo could no longer make a sound, but she pointed fixedly at Heng Zhou.

It was as if she absolutely had to tell Fen Tian something.

Fen Tian looked at her with some confusion.

She didn't seem to care about her own life at all, but only wanted to finish what she had to say.

She was pointing at Heng Zhou; was something wrong with Heng Zhou?

Just as Fen Tian was about to ask...

"Jiao Luo, gouge out—your own heart!"

Heng Zhou's voice came first.

Fresh blood splattered onto Fen Tian's face.

Jiao Luo clutched her own heart and collapsed to the ground.

---

Fen Tian brought Heng Zhou back to Central City.

Ever since the incident with Tang Ruan and Guo Guo, Yan Qing had not allowed any beastman from the Beast King Palace to leave.

Their groundless disappearance didn't rule out the possibility that spies from the Jiao Clan had entered the Beast King Palace.

The Old Witch Doctor who knew how to treat the Jiao Clan was also there.

Yan Qing immediately called him over to check Heng Zhou's body.

Heng Zhou didn't like others touching him.

However, he trusted Fen Tian.

Since Fen Tian had brought these people, he could only endure it.

Moreover, he had heard several names that he would never forget—

Yan Qing, Lang Lie, Hu Che...

Heng Zhou clenched his fists.

After the Old Witch Doctor finished the examination, he reached a conclusion.

"Don't worry.

Though there are many wounds on his body, they are all external.

The most important part is still the eyes..."

The cloth over his eyes was wrapped in several layers, and the Old Witch Doctor guessed that the injury must be very severe.

He reached out to touch the cloth over Heng Zhou's eyes, but Heng Zhou turned his head to avoid him.

The Old Witch Doctor thought he was afraid of the pain; based on his years of medical experience, he didn't wait for Heng Zhou to speak and quickly grabbed at the cloth over his eyes.

In the next second, the Old Witch Doctor was sent flying back by the Seal on the cloth.

"Witch Doctor!" Hu Che hurried over to help him up.

Fortunately, he wasn't injured, just jolted by the impact.

Heng Zhou: ...

Heng Zhou said indifferently, "There is a Jiao Clan Seal on this cloth."

Everyone: ...

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

On one hand, they had never heard a Male Beastman's voice that sounded so beautiful.

It was pleasant to the ear without losing its masculine characteristics.

In an instant, they were all somewhat stunned.

On the other hand, they had all seen Heng Zhou's deliberate attempt to dodge just now.

He had already dodged, yet the Old Witch Doctor insisted on being clever and trying to pull it off.

While admiring his professionalism, they also felt like laughing.

"Then what should we do?" Only Fen Tian was incredibly anxious.

Tang Ruan took his hand. "Don't be in such a hurry. Heng Zhou told me that his eyes are fine.

It's just that most of his Supernatural Ability is released through his eyes.

That's why the Jiao Clan covered them."

"A Supernatural Ability released through the eyes?" The Old Witch Doctor leaned in again, asking curiously.

Heng Zhou suddenly gave a small smile.

"Why aren't any of you afraid of me?"

Everyone: ...

Everyone looked at each other.

None of them understood what Heng Zhou meant by those words.

"Why should we be afraid of you?" Hu Che was the first to speak softly.

His voice was small, but it sounded gentle and lacked any hint of shrinking back.

Heng Zhou suddenly burst out laughing with a "pfft."

He laughed until his shoulders shook uncontrollably.

Are the beastmen of the Beast World nowadays all this stupid?

Not only did they dare to gather around him, they even thought about helping him treat his illness?

Don't they know that with just a word, he could make them all die?

The Old Witch Doctor looked at him with sympathy and sighed: He's probably been locked up for so long that even his mind isn't right anymore...

The faces of the others were filled with confusion, but Fen Tian was incredibly nervous.

He knew what that laugh represented.

"Heng Zhou!" He interrupted his laughter. "They—"

As Fen Tian's voice trailed off, Heng Zhou turned his face toward him.

"They are my people, and also—"

Fen Tian looked at Yan Qing, Lang Lie, and Hu Che, then reached out to wrap an arm around Tang Ruan's shoulder.

He continued, "My friends."

The smile at the corner of Heng Zhou's mouth slowly faded.

He seemed very puzzled and tilted his head.

Friends?

Shouldn't his friends only be the three of them?

When did he make other friends behind his back?

It was because he treated him as a friend that he didn't break him and Little A-Wu apart.

But why could these beastmen both have Little A-Wu and be his friends?

Heng Zhou clenched his fists.

For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He didn't know if he was angry that Fen Tian had actually shared Little A-Wu, or if he was furious that Fen Tian actually had friends other than them.

In short, he was extremely irritable.

"Then do you know any way to help you take the cloth off?" the Old Witch Doctor asked gently.

Heng Zhou abruptly turned his gaze toward him.

Old Witch Doctor: ...

The Old Witch Doctor reached out and patted his arm gently.

Heng Zhou's whole body stiffened.

Old Witch Doctor: "It's okay if you don't know. The Beast Kingdom is so large, there must be a Witch Doctor who can help you break the Seal."

The Old Witch Doctor mistook Heng Zhou's tension for nervousness and shyness.

"Don't worry..."

After saying that, he gave Yan Qing a few instructions and turned to leave.

No one felt anything was wrong with the Witch Doctor's words.

Only Fen Tian's heart was in his throat.

Because just now, through the Witch Doctor's simple actions, he felt Heng Zhou's killing intent several times.

He didn't care about whether the Witch Doctor lived or died.

The problem was that A-Wu didn't let him kill beastmen casually, and naturally, she wouldn't want Heng Zhou to do so either.

If he really killed the Witch Doctor, A-Wu would be angry.

Yan Qing's gaze fell on Fen Tian's clenched fist.

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking at Fen Tian.

"Nothing..."

Yan Qing had never heard Fen Tian sound so tense.

"I—Big Brother needs quiet rest."

Not long ago, Tang Ruan had already told Yan Qing and the others about the relationship between them.

It was just that Yan Qing hadn't expected Fen Tian, such a flamboyant and overbearing beastman, to respectfully call someone Big Brother.

Watching them talk, Lang Lie shifted his gaze from Fen Tian to Heng Zhou.

His build was similar to Hu Che's; among Male Beastmen, he didn't belong to the particularly strong type.

From his skin tone to his looks, from his voice to his aura, he could be called harmless.

Why did he feel that Fen Tian was a bit afraid?

"Then you rest here for now. Someone will come to apply medicine to you later," Yan Qing said to Heng Zhou.

He signaled for everyone to leave with his eyes.

He reached out to pat Fen Tian's shoulder, then moved his hand down to take one of Tang Ruan's hands.

He turned around and had just taken a step.

"Wait a moment."

Heng Zhou's casual voice suddenly came from behind.

"I have a way to take off this cloth right now."

Hearing the surroundings go quiet again...

Heng Zhou added, "Don't leave yet. I want to see you."

He wanted to see what kind of beastmen they were to possess his Little A-Wu.

Were they worthy of possessing his Little A-Wu?

Heng Zhou thought about it and was amused by his own thoughts again.

Of course they weren't worthy!

How did they dare touch his Little A-Wu!

He was going to make them disappear from the Beast World!

Heng Zhou clenched his fists.

"How?" Yan Qing's voice sounded a bit urgent.

He didn't feel any pressure from him.

But he felt a strange thought, which was—he really wanted to take a look at his eyes.

However, what he didn't know was that he wasn't the only one with this feeling.

So did Lang Lie and Hu Che.

Heng Zhou felt that the three of them seemed to have been bewitched by his Supernatural Ability.

He turned to Fen Tian triumphantly.

"Fen Tian, can you lend me a few drops of your blood?"
