251: Chapter 251 People revere the gods because they are afraid.

Tang Ruan said reflexively, "Thanks, but no need."

Heng Zhou: ...

Heng Zhou felt as if he could hear the sound of his own heart breaking.

He turned his head abruptly and looked elsewhere.

He clenched his fists at his sides.

He left Tang Ruan with a melancholy back.

Tang Ruan suddenly thought of a saying from the internet — "One instance of being extroverted is exchanged for a lifetime of being introverted."

Based on her current understanding of Heng Zhou.

Although when he is "extroverted," he is especially extroverted.

But when he is introverted, he is also quite introverted.

It's just that every time he is extroverted, he is too "extroverted," scaring her into having to refuse.

And then, he becomes introverted...

Tang Ruan felt that she must help him change this extreme way of expressing himself.

She decided to be more tactful.

"I'm not that scared," Tang Ruan explained.

"Hmm."

"These monsters are already dead, so I'm not scared anymore."

Heng Zhou: "Hmm."

Tang Ruan: Oh no! He seems even more introverted now.

Heng Zhou pursed his lips in grievance: Little A-Wu has actually learned to lie just to avoid letting him hold her!

After dealing with the monsters' corpses, they blocked the entrance of the cave with giant boulders.

The group returned to Central City.

Suddenly, Yan Qing, carrying Tang Ruan, hovered in mid-air outside Central City.

Heng Zhou also saw the situation ahead.

They saw hundreds of You Clan Beastmen gathered at the city gate, insisting on squeezing inside.

There were also Beastmen of other races from surrounding cities blocking the area outside Central City.

"They don't feel safe," Heng Zhou said, relaying the information he had gathered.

"Is it because of the monsters?" Tang Ruan asked.

Heng Zhou nodded.

The group landed on the city gate.

Many Beastmen saw Yan Qing and shouted excitedly, "Great! The Beast King wasn't killed by the monsters! That's great!"

Tang Ruan: ...

They had only been out for a little while, and the rumors had already spread like this?

"The monsters have all been eliminated, and the cave entrance has been blocked. You can return to your own homes!"

Yan Qing's voice carried an unquestionable majesty.

"Great! The monsters are all dead!"

"The Beast King is so powerful!"

"Let's go! Let's go back!"

Many Beastmen turned around, preparing to leave.

They had come out in a hurry and hadn't brought anything; even if they entered Central City, they would have nothing.

But most of the You Clan Beastmen stood where they were, not moving.

An elderly You Clan Male Beastman gathered his courage and said, "Respected Beast King, we no longer have homes. Even if we go back, we will have nothing..."

As he spoke, he wiped away tears.

Yan Qing looked at Tang Ruan.

He wanted to hear her opinion.

Back then, it was because the You Clan had bullied Tang Ruan that he forbade the You Clan from setting foot in Central City.

Actually, if Yan Qing hadn't looked at her.

Tang Ruan would have forgotten about it.

Below the city gate, there was not only that old beast, but also many Male Beastmen carrying Cubs, and Female Beastmen who had fainted and were being carried on the backs of their Beast Husbands.

Tang Ruan nodded at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing said, "Those whose homes have been destroyed can temporarily stay in Central City, and I will arrange food and lodging for you. Once the You Clan Tribe is rebuilt, you may return."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Beastmen who had originally left all came back.

The You Clan had never been allowed to enter Central City.

If they could seize this opportunity, not only could they enter Central City to see the world, but they might even be able to stay in Central City.

The Beastmen of other races saw that the You Clan could enter Central City.

One by one, they also decided not to leave.

Especially some young Male Beastmen without a Mistress, all of them walked back.

Central City had strict screening criteria for Beastmen who wanted to live there long-term.

For ordinary Beastmen like them, even if they saved up crystals for a lifetime, they could only stay there for a few days.

With such a good opportunity, if they could meet a Female Beastman who fancied them, they might be able to stay in Central City for the rest of their lives.

The gate-guarding Beastmen saw Yan Qing frown unhappily.

They hurriedly stepped forward and roared at the Beastmen below, "Your homes haven't been destroyed! Go back to where you came from!"

Those Beastmen all lowered their heads and didn't speak.

"If you don't leave, I'm going to hit people!"

This roar made many Beastmen shrink back.

But still, no one left.

Yan Qing could tell at a glance what these Beastmen were thinking.

Either they felt it wasn't safe to go back.

The monsters had appeared inexplicably once, so it was possible they would appear a second time.

And Central City was the place where the Beast God lived, and with the Beast God's servant and the Beast King there, there was no place safer than this in the entire Beast World.

Or they wanted to take the opportunity to stay in Central City.

You have to know, not just anyone had the strength to live in Central City.

And his "benevolence" was famous.

Over these years, there had been no more wars, and many Beastmen had even forgotten how he used to slaughter cities.

Yan Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and a wave of pressure was instantly released.

The Beastmen below the city wall and the guard Beastmen on the city gate all knelt down.

Some even lay flat on the ground.

"Central City doesn't have the space for so many of you to stay."

Yan Qing said, looking into the distance.

His eyesight was extremely good.

In fact, in the distance, there were still many Beastmen rushing over from surrounding cities.

There were at least several thousand of them.

If they didn't leave, the Beastmen would only gather in greater numbers.

If he softened his heart and let them in, then even more Beastmen would come in.

"The monsters are already dead. You don't need to be afraid, everyone go back!" Tang Ruan shouted.

"The Divine Maiden is of course not afraid, but who cares about the life and death of us Low-level Beastmen!"

The Beastman who spoke had barely finished his sentence.

Before Yan Qing could act.

A loud slap had already landed on his face.

It was he himself who hit it.

The Beastman was stunned.

He wanted to speak again, but another slap followed.

Tang Ruan looked at Heng Zhou at her side.

She knew it was him without even thinking about it.

However, given Heng Zhou's past experiences, she was actually quite surprised that when he acted, he only gave the other party a few slaps.

Tang Ruan reached out and carefully tugged at Heng Zhou's arm.

Heng Zhou turned his head slightly, and a glimmer seemed to flow in his purple eyes.

For some reason, Tang Ruan felt that he must be very angry.

Is he only slapping because he is very angry?

Is Heng Zhou such a benevolent Beastman?

Heng Zhou: "If it weren't for Fen Tian's instructions, these noisy things would have already vanished just now!"

His voice was not loud.

But there were still many sharp-eared Beastmen who heard it.

The area below suddenly became much quieter.

"That... I heard he is also a servant of the Beast God."

"The Beast God's servant should be on our side, right!"

"We pray to the Beast God every day, shouldn't the Beast God protect us?"

Heng Zhou listened to their words and just wanted to laugh.

Who said that the Beast God exists to protect Beastmen?

The Beast God exists to destroy them.

People only feel awe toward the gods because of fear.

Tang Ruan didn't know that Fen Tian had also said these things to Heng Zhou; she suddenly realized that Fen Tian had become more thoughtful.

Perhaps he was afraid that if he killed people, she wouldn't be happy!

Tang Ruan whispered, "Big Brother, you just need to get them to leave.

Is there a way to get them to leave without hurting them?"

She opened her big eyes and looked at him expectantly.

Heng Zhou seemed to see the newly adult Little A-Wu again.

Tugging at his sleeve like this and saying, "Big Brother, we're just going out for a little while.

We'll be back before the Beast God wakes up, okay?"

"Okay." He curled his lips into a smile.

One minute later.

Large groups of Beastmen walked back along the path they had come from.

As they walked, they said to the Beastmen beside them, "I don't know which coward wanted to hide in Central City."

"Yeah! They don't even trust the Beast King, yet they expect the Beast King to protect them."

"With the Beast God in the world, how could we be in any danger!"

"Exactly, exactly..."

"The Beast Kingdom is the safest place."

Yan Qing turned around and solemnly said to Heng Zhou, "Thank you."

If Heng Zhou hadn't done that.

He would have immediately found a few Beastmen to make an example of.

Although this method is effective.

But he hoped more that they would trust him from the bottom of their hearts.

He didn't know what spell Heng Zhou had cast on them.

But for now, they had all become incomparably trusting of him.

He hoped that one day, without needing his spell, they would still be able to trust him like this.

Returning to Central City.

The injured Beastmen had also been settled.

Tang Ruan and Heng Zhou went to see Xiao Yi and Guo Guo.

Guo Guo was playing the statue game with Xiao Yi.

Seeing Tang Ruan and Heng Zhou, Guo Guo pounced toward Heng Zhou.

Xiao Yi jumped up and crashed directly into Tang Ruan's arms.

Xiao Yi was now as heavy as a six-month-old baby.

Tang Ruan was caught off guard; as she caught him, she heard a "crack" sound.
