238: Chapter 238 "You don't want me to be sad, do you, brother?"

"Your blood can help me break the Jiao Clan's Seal."

Heng Zhou tilted his head and smiled.

His smile looked completely harmless.

Hu Che immediately took a cup of water and a small knife out of his spatial storage.

Fen Tian deftly cut his finger and squeezed the blood into the cup.

Heng Zhou took the cup from his hand and drank it in one gulp.

He pursed his lips slightly and activated his Supernatural Ability.

The next second.

Everyone saw a faint mist that seemed to envelop his body dissipate.

His entire being seemed to brighten up.

The sunlight streaming through the window shone on his silver-white hair; every strand seemed to shimmer with iridescent light.

Heng Zhou looked up, his jade-like fingers pulling at the cloth over his eyes.

Every beastman present stared at him expectantly.

Their hearts clamored to see his eyes.

"Heng Zhou!"

Tang Ruan suddenly interrupted his movements.

"I have something to tell you."

Heng Zhou paused and gave a light chuckle. "Go ahead."

Had his clever little A-Wu sensed that he was unhappy?

Tang Ruan pursed her lips.

She didn't know if Heng Zhou would care about her several Beast Husbands as much as Fen Tian had back then.

In the Merfolk Palace, the situation had been critical, and they hadn't discussed this issue.

But it was better to make things clear now.

"Lang Lie, Yan Qing, and Hu Che are people I met before I met Fen Tian.

They are very good to me, and would even die for me.

I am also willing to give my life for them."

All the Male Beastmen present couldn't help but look at Tang Ruan.

Though they didn't understand why she was suddenly saying this.

They all gazed at her with emotion, their nerves tensing up.

Meanwhile, Yan Qing lowered his gaze and suddenly glanced behind him.

Outside the door was Guo Guo, who was being held by Hu Niu.

She looked so much like Tang Ruan, and Heng Zhou was from the Jiao Clan...

Heng Zhou pursed his lips tightly.

"This is what you wanted to tell me?"

Tang Ruan: "Yes!

Fen Tian once opposed it too, but—"

She gripped Fen Tian's hand tightly. "He later understood me.

After all, after I lost my memory, I met them first before I found Fen Tian.

Once feelings are given, they cannot be taken back."

Heng Zhou took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Is there anything else?"

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan let go of Fen Tian, took a step forward, and pressed down on one of Heng Zhou's hands.

Heng Zhou: ...

She leaned toward his ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "You wouldn't want me to be sad, would you?

Brother!"

She remembered the images she saw after that sharp pain in her heart back at the Merfolk Palace.

Tang Ruan emphasized the last word.

Everyone present heard it.

Without that word, even Fen Tian would have misunderstood and thought Heng Zhou liked A-Wu too.

Because what A-Wu said to him was simply too similar to what she had said to him before.

However, thinking carefully about it.

He had also been threatened by Heng Zhou before with words like "don't let little A-Wu be sad, or I'll kill you."

It was quite normal for a brother to worry about his sister being bullied by a bad Male Beastman.

So, he took a step forward.

He spoke up for Tang Ruan: "Heng Zhou, in the current Beast World.

It is very normal for a Female Beastman to have multiple Beast Husbands.

These beastmen are not bad people.

They haven't bullied A-Wu."

"Heh!"

Heng Zhou laughed out of anger.

How could the naive Fen Tian tell a good beastman from a bad one?

Back then, when he said he didn't have anyone he liked, he had believed him.

He was so easily fooled; wouldn't others fool him too?

He would have to test them personally.

Heng Zhou gripped the cloth over his eyes and took it off.

His thick eyelashes fluttered slightly in the sunlight.

He slowly opened his eyes.

They were a pair of light purple eyes, crystal clear, with even the patterns and pupils being different shades of purple.

They were like transparent crystals, yet also like a bottomless abyss.

Sunlight flashed across his irises as he swept an indifferent gaze over the crowd.

A voice followed his gaze, echoing in the hearts of the beastmen except for Tang Ruan and Fen Tian.

"Those who betray the Mistress Yong Wu shall die.

Those who do not treat the Mistress Yong Wu with sincerity shall die.

Those who develop feelings for anyone other than the Mistress Yong Wu shall die."

The three proclamations fell.

The three Male Beastmen only showed confusion on their faces.

Hu Che suddenly raised his hand and touched his heart.

Heng Zhou shifted his gaze, staring at his movements with excitement.

He expected him to gouge out his own heart in the next second.

However, Hu Che clutched his chest and took a few steps forward, walking right up to Heng Zhou.

"What I just heard, was that your question?

Or a Curse?"

He also possessed a mental-type Supernatural Ability.

If his desire to see his eyes earlier could be explained as curiosity.

Then the voice that just rang in his mind was all too obvious.

"What did you do?" Tang Ruan propped herself up on the bed and glared at Heng Zhou angrily.

"A Curse." Heng Zhou kept staring into Hu Che's eyes, the curve of his lips gradually widening.

"How could you do that!" Tang Ruan angrily tried to grab his shoulder but was stopped by Hu Che's outstretched hand.

"It's okay."

He stood up straight, a smile appearing on his lips.

The smile on Heng Zhou's face, however, was becoming harder to maintain.

He thought the man would gradually shrink back under his gaze.

He thought he would beg him to rescind the Curse and let him go.

After all, the beastmen he knew were all selfish and despicable things.

The males of that time would act like they loved their partners while being unfaithful everywhere.

Although the Beast World was different now, the nature of males would not change.

Hu Che: "This is actually quite good."

Heng Zhou: ...

Why wasn't he afraid?

Hu Che turned around happily.

He suddenly hugged Tang Ruan and said excitedly: "Mistress! Your brother just put a Curse on me!

He said that if I'm not sincere to you, betray you, or have feelings for other Female Beastmen...

I will die.

But I'm perfectly fine.

Do you know how much I love you now?"

Hu Che clung to Tang Ruan like a piece of taffy, rubbing his chin against her shoulder...

Heng Zhou trembled with rage: "Enough!"

"I can do it too."

Lang Lie's voice diverted Heng Zhou's attention.

"If I can't do it and die, I'll deserve it.

Moreover, I have consumed a potion and formed a contract with Tang Ruan—"

If Tang Ruan dies, I will leave with her."

He gazed at Tang Ruan affectionately.

Tang Ruan pushed Hu Che aside.

Hu Che: ...

She rushed over and hugged Lang Lie.

She had tried everything to stop him from becoming her First Beast Husband, yet he still used this method to show his loyalty.

Fortunately, once her Energy awakened, she should be able to live for a very, very long time.

When that time came, she wondered if there would be a way to let Lang Lie live as long as she did.

Tang Ruan was just thinking about this.

Yan Qing's steady voice came over.

"I hope Big Brother doesn't worry.

We will all be sincere to the Mistress."

"Yes! Big Brother!"

"Trust us, Big Brother!"

"We will definitely be wholehearted to the Mistress, Big Brother!"

Fen Tian also said: "Heng Zhou, don't worry!"

Who was their Big Brother?

Who wanted to be their Big Brother?

By what right were they calling him Big Brother? As A-Wu's partners?

Heng Zhou felt like his head was about to explode.

"Shut up!"

His voice and Supernatural Ability were released simultaneously.

Everyone shut their mouths.

He rubbed his forehead.

"Get out. I want some peace and quiet."

Several people immediately turned around like marionettes.

They strode out the door.

She Mu and Hu Niu, who were guarding the door, watched as the group lined up and marched in goose-steps straight toward their respective rooms.

The sight was truly a bit comical.

Even they themselves found it funny.

Hearty laughter came from outside the door.

Heng Zhou raised his hand and smashed the water cup beside him.

Why did little A-Wu love them so much, and why did they love little A-Wu so much too?

Just like she and Fen Tian were back then.

He felt like he was a joke...

However, when everyone had returned to their own rooms.

Their smiles disappeared from their faces at the same time.

Because they all understood one thing.

Heng Zhou's strength was above Fen Tian's.

---

"I need to find a way to kill them all without making little A-Wu sad!"

Late at night.

Heng Zhou was curled up under the covers, muttering to himself.

Suddenly, there was a "creak" from the door.

"Who's there?"
