250: Chapter 250 "If you're scared, I can hold you."

She Ming's shattered internal organs were slowly healing... The sound of his heartbeat gradually became strong... until the wound on his chest completely closed.

Only then did Tang Ruan abruptly let go of Heng Zhou's hand.

She covered his wound with both hands, helping him heal the wound.

On his arms, there were dozens of such wounds.

Although they only left a faint white mark after healing, it was hard to see if one didn't look carefully.

But Tang Ruan knew that he must hate cutting his own wrists again.

Yet at this moment, in order to save a strange Beastman—or rather, for her—he did something he hated again.

And he did so without the slightest hesitation.

She felt that her understanding of Heng Zhou was too little.

"Thank you." Tang Ruan said softly.

But Heng Zhou seemed to be stung by these two words, and his brow suddenly furrowed.

More Witch Doctors were dispatched from nearby cities.

Tang Ruan heard the sounds outside the door.

She looked at Rabbit Lady, "What exactly happened?"

Rabbit Lady stood up excitedly, "Many monsters suddenly appeared outside the city, and their strength is all above that of a Level 5 Beastman.

The dozen or so of us City Lords had originally agreed to hang out at the You Clan outside the city today, but we ended up getting attacked..."

Years ago, a Male Beastman of the You Clan was killed because he bullied Tang Ruan.

Afterwards, all members of the You Clan were forbidden from appearing in Wan Shou City.

Later, when Central City was built, the You Clan was similarly forbidden from appearing.

However, the You Clan's new chieftain was a smart and flexible Beastman.

He moved the entire clan to the barren mountains outside Central City.

Although there was nothing on the barren mountains, they could still exchange items with passing Beastmen.

Over time, they also developed and grew.

It had everything for eating, drinking, and having fun, somewhat like the farmhouse resorts in Tang Ruan's original world.

Sometimes when the City Lords arrived early and didn't want to enter Central City, they would agree to hang out there for a few days.

It was like a company trip and complaint session for employees behind their boss's back.

As a result, they didn't expect to encounter such an incident.

After hearing Rabbit Lady's description, Tang Ruan asked, "Does Yan Qing know?"

Rabbit Lady nodded, "He should know."

"He has already gone over." Heng Zhou suddenly said.

Tang Ruan glanced at him, knowing that he must have just seen the matter regarding Yan Qing in another Beastman's mind.

She clenched her fists, stood up, and stared into Heng Zhou's eyes.

She said in a pleading tone, "Heng Zhou, can you help me find Fen Tian?

Although Yan Qing is powerful, if there are many monsters, I am afraid he will suffer."

"You want to help him?"

Tang Ruan nodded.

Heng Zhou: "I don't know where Fen Tian is, and going to find him is too slow."

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan clenched her fists; she wanted to go help Yan Qing.

But she knew clearly that going over now would only hold him back.

Currently, all the Beastmen capable of fighting near Central City had been bitten.

This showed how numerous the monsters were and how strong their abilities were.

"I will go."

Tang Ruan suddenly raised her head and looked at Heng Zhou who had spoken.

"You are willing to help Yan Qing?"

She had thought that Heng Zhou would be like he was with Fen Tian, especially hating Yan Qing and the others.

But Tang Ruan was still a bit worried.

Could he control Beastmen, and could he also control monsters?

"You come with me." Heng Zhou seemed to see through Tang Ruan's worry and said to her.

The two left the room.

Heng Zhou suddenly picked Tang Ruan up.

Immediately after, only a blur of light and shadow remained in Tang Ruan's vision.

Looking closely, she realized it wasn't light and shadow, but scenery moving backward rapidly.

Just a few minutes later, Heng Zhou had already appeared beside Yan Qing.

The moment he put Tang Ruan down, Tang Ruan was still in a daze.

So fast!

If her Seal were lifted, could she also be this fast?

No!

Didn't Heng Zhou also have a Seal on him?

Was this his state after being sealed?

Tang Ruan was shocked.

He should have already broken through some of it, right?

As she was thinking this, Heng Zhou's voice came from above: "Take good care of her!"

"Okay." Yan Qing said, reaching out to wrap his arm around Tang Ruan's shoulders.

The position where Yan Qing currently was, was the highest point of the terrain.

In the mountain col below, there were a few charred monster corpses.

Tang Ruan remembered that Yan Qing generally wouldn't leave corpses behind when using his Supernatural Ability.

Therefore, this meant that these monsters were so strong that he couldn't burn them all at once.

"I have already killed more than ten, but there are still more, all crawling out from there—"

Yan Qing pointed to a sunken area in the distance.

Tang Ruan and Heng Zhou looked over.

The hole was very round, and one could tell at a glance that it had been dug from the inside.

Tang Ruan remembered that when she watched Ultraman as a child, before a monster appeared, there would be that kind of hole in the city.

Children's shows really didn't lie to her!

She suddenly thought of Dongdong Valley.

Tang Ruan looked up at Yan Qing, "Could it be Dongdong Valley..."

He had already guessed her thoughts, "I have already sent people to check."

"Mm."

Tang Ruan nervously clenched her fingers.

Yan Qing was equally nervous.

Although he looked calm and indifferent, the monsters kept crawling out, seemingly endless.

He had never truly witnessed Heng Zhou's strength.

He only knew that his Supernatural Ability was manipulating people's hearts, but monsters needed to be dealt with using violence.

Heng Zhou was seen weaving like a phantom among monsters dozens of times his size.

However, not a single monster was injured.

Yan Qing and Tang Ruan both looked at his actions in confusion.

Watching the monsters at the foot of the mountain become more and more numerous, even becoming crowded.

They were about to break through the perimeter Yan Qing had just built with giant rocks.

Once these monsters broke through the perimeter, they would endanger the Beastmen in Central City.

Yan Qing's figure moved slightly, as if he were about to take action.

Suddenly, the largest monster pounced on a smaller monster on the right.

It bit it in half in one bite.

Immediately after, it pounced to the left and bit off the head of a monster in one bite.

Then the third... the fourth...

The instantly killed monsters still had their nerves twitching, causing their broken bodies to twist and struggle.

Tang Ruan watched in a daze.

Yan Qing's hand on her shoulder tightened involuntarily.

Below, more and more monsters began to kill each other.

Suddenly, the largest monster fell.

Countless small monsters swarmed up, tearing and biting at it, which reminded Tang Ruan of an insect being eaten by a colony of ants.

She felt some physical discomfort.

She turned around to hug Yan Qing and buried her head in his chest.

Yan Qing also held her tightly, gently patting her back.

As long as she was held by Yan Qing, Tang Ruan would feel very safe.

Heng Zhou suddenly appeared in front of them.

His gaze swept over the two closely embracing.

Suddenly, he spoke: "Clean it up in a while."

He did not use a commanding tone, yet it made Yan Qing subconsciously lower his head and reply, "Yes."

At the same time the sound was made, he realized what he had done.

He clearly had not felt any threat of coercion from Heng Zhou, yet it made him feel a sense of reverence from the bottom of his heart.

Heng Zhou reached out to Tang Ruan, his tone a bit impatient: "Are you going back with me now, or waiting for your Beast Husband to finish dealing with this, confirm he is okay, and then go back together?"

Tang Ruan turned her head back from Yan Qing's arms.

"I... I will go back with Yan Qing."

Heng Zhou: ...

Heng Zhou: Why is she so clingy to this Beast Husband, even more clingy than she was to him when she was little!

As for her other few Beast Husbands, he was just angry looking at them.

This one—made him jealous.

"Th-that's-fine!" He squeezed three words out from between his teeth.

After speaking, he did not leave.

Instead, he watched as the monsters killed each other until only the last one remained, then signaled for Yan Qing to take action.

Heng Zhou watched his efficient movements and estimated his strength.

Among ordinary Beastmen, it was indeed a very rare level of strength.

His gaze turned to Tang Ruan, seeing her looking at Yan Qing with an expression of admiration.

Heng Zhou: With this level, what is there to admire!

To ensure that all the monsters were dead, Yan Qing burned the monsters' corpses while cleaning up the battlefield.

Tang Ruan was terrified that one might not be completely dead and would ambush Yan Qing.

Her eyes were fixed tightly on the scene below.

But looking at those monsters with twisted death poses and missing limbs, and smelling the burnt scent of corpses, she felt nauseous again.

Heng Zhou suddenly coughed lightly.

Tang Ruan turned her head and looked at him.

She saw Heng Zhou puff out his solid chest and say: "If you are scared, I can hold you too."

Tang Ruan: ...
