240: Chapter 240 What's yours was always mine. What's mine is still mine.

That was the voice of the Former Beast God.

Indeed...

How could a monster like him still crave love?

Heng Zhou suddenly remembered being the Beast God's first servant.

His earliest Beast Form was just like those monsters he raised everywhere.

Moreover, he was the ugliest one.

But whenever he used that Beast Form to scare away beastmen or bite them to death...

He would always receive the Beast God's praise.

Back then, even though he knew he was created by the Beast God, he still developed fatherly feelings for him.

He wanted him to be happy, wanted to gain his approval.

Thus, he turned slaughter and fear into things he did to make him happy.

Later, the Beast God grew tired of his "performance."

He created Little A-Wu.

When Little A-Wu was born, she looked about the same age as Guo Guo does now.

And he looked seven or eight years older than her.

So, she called him Brother.

In reality, however, he didn't know exactly how much older he was than her.

At first, he hated her.

Because she couldn't do anything.

She couldn't kill beastmen, nor could she turn into a "mighty" monster.

But the Beast God still liked her very much.

He even told him to take good care of her.

She often chased after him, and while chasing, she would accidentally fall into a monster's den, crying and waiting for him to save her.

After saving her for who knows how many times...

Heng Zhou said impatiently, "Can't you just kill the monster yourself?"

Little A-Wu cried, tugging at the corner of his clothes.

"Brother! Monsters... Yong Wu is scared..."

Heng Zhou blinked and transformed into his monster form.

"I'm a monster too. Are you scared?"

Little A-Wu was stunned.

She was so terrified that she plopped onto the ground, her whole body trembling as she kept backing away.

Heng Zhou panicked slightly.

But he still said stubbornly, "Now you know?

I'm a monster too, and I'm very scary. Don't cling to me anymore!"

Little A-Wu retreated into a corner and stopped moving.

She hugged her knees with both hands and cried very sadly.

Heng Zhou transformed back into human form and took a few steps toward the exit.

She still didn't move.

He peeked into her heart.

But he heard her say: [Brother is actually a monster.

Then will Brother be in pain like the monsters?]

Heng Zhou froze.

At the beginning of the Beast God's creation, most monsters were born deformed.

For example, some were born with their hearts hanging outside; a light touch could kill them.

Some had no skin, and sunlight would make their flesh split open.

Naturally, Heng Zhou had never felt empathy for them.

Because his Beast Form was the most complete among the monsters created by the Beast God—he had three heads.

However, what he hadn't expected...

Was that after Little A-Wu learned he was a monster, her first thought wasn't "Brother is so scary," but "Brother will be in pain."

Thinking that he would be in pain, Little A-Wu cried even more sadly than if she were in pain herself.

She felt that since he had three heads, thinking about things must be very troublesome, having to think with each head once; just thinking about it made her head ache.

Heng Zhou was caught between laughter and tears by her thoughts.

Shouldn't the three heads think together, so he could think faster?

So, he walked up to her.

Just as he was about to explain...

Little A-Wu saw him return and instantly pressed herself against the wall.

Only then did she truly start to feel afraid, her mind filled with his Beast Form.

Heng Zhou had no choice but to crouch down and coax her, "Don't worry! No matter what Brother looks like, I will never hurt you."

Little A-Wu looked at him fearfully.

Then, she slowly extended her pinky finger.

It was another silly trick she had learned from those beastmen when she snuck out.

He felt that this gesture meant a promise.

Heng Zhou hooked her finger without hesitation.

"Understood, pinky swear!

Brother will never hurt you..."

Little A-Wu shook her head.

"Brother also can't hurt himself, and can't do things that make me sad."

Heng Zhou saw images flash through her mind of some monsters ending their own lives because of the pain.

He thought for a moment, "Then I guarantee, I will never let you be sad..."

Waking up from the dream, sunlight already filled the entire room.

After Guo Guo came in yesterday, she hadn't closed the door.

At this moment, the whole room was illuminated with a warm glow.

Guo Guo was still lying in his arms.

She should have been awake already; her thick, deep purple eyelashes were fluttering, but she just refused to get up.

Heng Zhou understood her feelings very well.

He also wanted to be with the person he loved, to stay together forever and ever.

Suddenly, his expression turned sharp.

He heard A-Wu's voice coming from downstairs.

"How is it all gone?"

"If it's gone, it's gone! What do you want? I'll buy it for you!" came Hu Che's confident voice.

Heng Zhou couldn't help but give a light snort.

Hearing his voice, Guo Guo couldn't pretend anymore; she opened her eyes and stared back at him.

Both of them pricked up their ears, listening to the voices downstairs.

"It's not a matter of buying or not.

My space!

There were so many things inside, all of which I worked so hard to save up."

It was the empire she had built up over all these years!

After drinking Heng Zhou's blood yesterday, Tang Ruan's Supernatural Ability had received an unprecedented boost.

Even her space had returned.

She had thought that not only had she broken through the Jiao Clan's Seal and remembered some things, but her level could even go up a bit more.

As it turned out, she woke up to find herself back at square one.

Tang Ruan wanted to cry but had no tears.

Looking at that tiny space the size of a pot's mouth in her consciousness...

Gone... everything was gone...

She plopped onto the ground, feeling like her heart was bleeding.

Hu Che reached out to pull her up.

"Oh, come on!

Whatever is missing from your space, I'll cover it all!

I'll buy it for you, so don't be sad anymore!"

Tang Ruan sighed.

Hu Che's words made her feel a bit better.

She looked up, "Really?"

"Of course!

You can even empty out Red Fox City if you want, as long as it makes you happy!"

Tang Ruan still pouted.

"That's not the same."

"How is it not the same?" Hu Che put his hands on his hips, not knowing how to coax her anymore.

Tang Ruan: "What's yours is already mine.

What's mine is still mine.

Originally, I could have had mine while also having yours.

Now I can only have yours."

Hu Che's mouth hung half-open: You can even calculate it like that?

Tang Ruan continued: "Besides, Red Fox City belongs to the Beast Kingdom, and the Beast Kingdom belongs to Yan Qing.

The Beast Kingdom belongs to the Beast World, which belongs to Fen Tian.

My Beast Husbands are mine, so what's theirs is mine.

So, no matter how you calculate it, I still lost a whole space's worth of things."

Hu Che: ...

Hu Che: It's a waste that the Mistress doesn't do business with him with a brain like that.

Tang Ruan stood up listlessly.

" never mind, since it's gone, I won't eat it."

"What exactly do you want to eat?"

"Bone King Fish."

"I'll go catch it for you."

"You're just a Mid-level Beastman; I'm afraid the Bone King Fish will eat you."

Hu Che jumped in anger, "Who are you looking down on!

Believe it or not, I can make that fish jump out and find me on its own?"

Tang Ruan blurted out: "You think you're Heng Zhou!

Even Heng Zhou can't control the Bone King Fish!"

Heng Zhou, who was mentioned: ...

The downstairs area instantly became quiet.

A few seconds later.

Tang Ruan said: "I'll just wait for Fen Tian and the others to come back!"

Fen Tian, Yan Qing, and Lang Lie had gone to deal with the matters of the Merfolk Palace.

Heng Zhou and Guo Guo were still in their previous positions.

Suddenly, the two of them looked at each other.

[Daddy! Go catch the fish for Mommy!

When she sees it, she'll definitely be very happy!]

Heng Zhou: ...

"Okay."

Just as he jumped up...

The sound of wings flapping came from outside the house.

"Fen Tian! Yan Qing, Lang Lie!" Tang Ruan said in surprise.

Hu Che went to meet them, "How did it go?"

Fen Tian looked at Tang Ruan: "I destroyed the Merfolk Palace, but I didn't see the King Jiao you mentioned, nor the physical body of her other sister."

Lang Lie: "Yan Qing and I checked the land near the sea; almost no beastmen live there.

If we completely clear the seabed, only Red Fox City will be affected.

To eliminate the future trouble once and for all, we are considering building high walls around Red Fox City to protect it."

Tang Ruan: "But the upheaval of the seabed will not only cause floods but also earthquakes.

High walls can't stop earthquakes."

"Then the whole country will migrate." Yan Qing's voice was resolute, having made up his mind.

This time, he must not let her be resurrected again!

He must not lose Ruan Ruan again!

"It's useless."
