249: Chapter 249 I want you to die... but I don't really want you to die!

Tang Ruan shifted her gaze downward, looking at the hand Lang Lie had clamped over her mouth.

She then raised her eyes, meeting his gaze as he hesitated to speak.

Tang Ruan: "So, love disappears, right?"

"I..." Lang Lie darted his eyes downward.

Tang Ruan: "Understood."

She voluntarily presented him with a little red flower.

A month later, Male Beastmen went out wearing "little red flowers," which had become the latest fashion in Central City.

Two months later, it started becoming popular nationwide.

Yan Qing held a meeting.

In the solemn atmosphere of the Beast King Palace, every Male Beastman city lord had a little red flower on their chest, and they were even comparing whose was redder and larger.

And whose lasted longer before disappearing.

Tang Ruan was speechless and looked up at the sky.

Why did she have to have such a loose mouth that day!

Fortunately, this was the Beast World.

If it were her original world, seeing grown men walking down the street shirtless with little red flowers on their chests—she didn't dare imagine how spectacular that scene would be.

But having said that.

She had been dreaming about things from her original world quite often lately.

Tang Ruan guessed it must have something to do with the pendant Fen Tian had given her.

She also recalled some times she had spent with Heng Zhou.

To be honest, he really was a good brother.

It was just that sometimes, like her, he had a bit of a sharp tongue.

He would say: "If you don't kill all these monsters, you'll just end up being killed by them. I won't help you."

Yet in reality, he would always hide in the distance watching her, appearing whenever she encountered danger.

He would say: "I hate having a younger sister; it would be better if I had a younger brother."

But in reality, he took her everywhere he went, terrified that she might get lost.

He would say: "I don't like you at all."

But in his actions, he remembered every one of her preferences.

However, the young A-Wu hadn't understood any of this, not until she got together with Fen Tian...

Only then did she realize that Heng Zhou hadn't actually disliked her as much as she had imagined.

But by then, she had already fallen in love with Fen Tian.

It was already too late to go back...

"Too late to go back?"

When this thought appeared in Tang Ruan's mind, she was completely stunned.

Did that mean she had once thought about going back to the past with him?

Had she also loved him?

Why did she feel absolutely nothing?

With the help of the pendant, Tang Ruan tried hard to recall things about Heng Zhou.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps approached.

She raised her head and saw She Mu carrying a sturdy Male Beastman on his back, walking hurriedly toward the back of the Beast King Palace.

That direction led to the room where the Witch Doctor was located.

"That beastman, he looks like Mayor Ma Ming..." Tang Ruan remembered him; he had spoken to her alone before.

She had heard that he was now a second-level beastman; how could he be so severely injured?

Her gaze fell upon the trail of blood left on the floor.

She stood up abruptly, intending to find someone to ask.

Suddenly, more footsteps could be heard.

Tang Ruan instinctively hugged Xiao Yi tightly.

Xiao Yi suddenly emitted a burst of red light, enveloping both himself and Tang Ruan.

Having had the previous experience with the Baby, Tang Ruan was now very afraid of the Cub using Energy.

She hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, your Father Yan Qing won't let danger enter the Beast King Palace."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Heng Zhou suddenly appeared before her like a flash of lightning.

"He sensed the aura of a monster. This Cub inherited the Power of the Beast God from Fen Tian. He is extremely sensitive to the monsters raised by the Former Beast God."

"Monsters?" Tang Ruan exclaimed, "How could there be monsters in the Beast King Palace?"

Her voice attracted the attention of a few beastmen who had just entered the backyard.

Most of them were being supported by beastmen from the Beast King Palace, and their destination was likely the Witch Doctor's room as well.

There were quite a few Witch Doctors in Central City.

Even though they were all city lords, with injuries this severe, there was no need to insist on treatment from the Beast King Palace's Witch Doctor, right!

Shouldn't they seek medical attention nearby?

Unless... the Witch Doctors outside were already overwhelmed.

Thinking of this, Tang Ruan couldn't help but feel nervous.

Heng Zhou instinctively turned his head, and sensing Tang Ruan's nervousness, he subconsciously reached out and placed his warm palm on the back of her hand.

"Let's get the Cubs settled first."

Tang Ruan: "Okay."

Although she didn't know what had happened.

It was never safe to leave the Cubs and the egg here.

Heng Zhou called out to Guo Guo, who was standing frozen not far away: "Guo Guo, come over and go with your little brother!"

Tang Ruan looked sharply at Heng Zhou's profile.

How did he know the Cub in the egg was a "little brother"?

Even the Witch Doctors wouldn't dare guarantee that with 100% certainty.

Guo Guo was clearly peeking at the thoughts of those beastmen.

Hearing Heng Zhou's voice, she reacted for a moment before running toward him with long strides.

As soon as she arrived, she tightly grasped Heng Zhou's other hand.

She must have seen something terrifying.

After getting both Cubs settled.

When Tang Ruan and Heng Zhou returned, beastmen were still entering the Beast King Palace one after another.

Tang Ruan spotted the Rabbit Lady in the crowd.

"Rabbit Lady! What happened?"

Tang Ruan ran up to her.

She had never seen the Rabbit Lady looking so lost and helpless.

She had just given birth last month, and her body was already weak; at this moment, her lips were as white as paper.

"Tang Ruan!" She hugged Tang Ruan tightly, "Lang Yu and She Ming... they..."

Tang Ruan looked behind her and saw two tall beastmen carrying Lang Yu and She Ming on their backs, respectively, walking toward where the Witch Doctor was.

Tang Ruan was just about to ask, "How are they?"

Heng Zhou spoke first.

"They were attacked by monsters, bitten, and the wounds are very deep; they might die."

The Rabbit Lady nodded frantically, "The bleeding just won't stop."

"Follow me! Bring them with me!" Tang Ruan said in a panic.

She had been friends with Lang Yu and She Ming for many years; how could she watch them bleed to death?

Even though she was only a first-level beastman now, she had to try.

Heng Zhou frowned as he watched her.

He didn't need to peek at her thoughts; he knew exactly what she was going to do.

He clenched his fists, but in the end, he didn't speak up to stop her.

Because this was what she wanted to do.

From now on, he would never control her or make her do things according to his will again.

Tang Ruan had people take Lang Yu and She Ming to an empty room.

She first used her Supernatural Ability to Seal Lang Yu's wounds.

By the time she got to She Ming, he had almost no heartbeat left.

The Rabbit Lady was terrified and wailed in pain.

This was the first time Tang Ruan had ever seen the Rabbit Lady cry.

"How can he die? He was jumping around just a moment ago! He even said he wanted to be my Beast Husband! It's all my fault, I said I didn't want him... I told him to die! I want you to die... but I didn't really mean for you to die!" The Rabbit Lady rambled incoherently.

Tang Ruan hugged her, "Don't be afraid yet, let me try again."

"It's useless. With your current Energy, you can't save him."

Hearing this, Tang Ruan looked at Heng Zhou.

She immediately dumped a pile of crystals out from her space, surrounded She Ming with them, and started frantically gnawing on a spirit fruit herself.

That meant that as long as there was enough Energy, he could still be saved.

Seeing this, the Rabbit Lady understood and reached out to place her hand on Tang Ruan, wanting to give her own Energy to her.

Heng Zhou watched their actions and furrowed his brows.

Drawing Energy from elsewhere and converting it into a Supernatural Ability with healing functions to save people was feasible.

But little A-Wu had multiple Seals from the Jiao Clan on her, suppressing her and making her ability to store Energy very poor.

Otherwise, with such a massive Energy-filled crystal that Fen Tian had given her hanging around her neck, she wouldn't just be a first-level.

For a first-level beastman's Healing Ability to save someone was already a miracle.

Unless she could be upgraded instantly.

"What you're doing is too slow. By the time you've replenished enough Energy, he'll be dead," Heng Zhou said indifferently.

Hearing this, the Rabbit Lady trembled and looked up at Heng Zhou.

She already knew that he was also a servant of the Beast God, and he must have a way to save She Ming.

The Rabbit Lady was just about to kneel before Heng Zhou.

"Drink this, it's faster!" Heng Zhou suddenly reached out and placed his wrist against Tang Ruan's lips.

On his wrist was a wound he had just made, and fresh blood was gushing out.

Tang Ruan only hesitated for a second before grabbing his wrist and sucking on it.

With her other hand, she injected the Energy with healing functions into She Ming's body.
