258: Chapter 258 He doesn't want her anymore?

"Cough!"

Heng Zhou gave an awkward light cough.

Fen Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud twice. "A-Wu is right!"

He proudly raised his fist.

Tang Ruan: She... she didn't mean it like that!

Heng Zhou should be able to understand, right?

She wasn't saying he was "weak"; she was just genuinely worried about him.

Heng Zhou widened his amethyst-like eyes, staring at Tang Ruan as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

His expression was huffy, yet his gaze held a hint of pitifulness.

Heng Zhou: In little A-Wu's eyes, was he really that weak?

Tang Ruan: Why do I suddenly feel that Heng Zhou is a bit cute?

Seeing Tang Ruan's expression, Heng Zhou seemed a little happy.

He angrily turned his face away: Should he fight back appropriately?

To prove his strength?

He had originally thought that no matter how he looked at it, he was the one in the wrong regarding Fen Tian.

So, he had planned to let Fen Tian keep hitting him until his anger was spent.

But he couldn't actually let himself be hit.

After all, their combat styles were different.

If he really got hit, he might actually be killed by a single punch.

At that thought, Heng Zhou became even angrier.

He turned sideways, his cheeks puffing out slightly.

His face already looked quite young, and now it seemed a bit—cute.

Tang Ruan couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

Fen Tian followed her gaze...

He walked toward Heng Zhou in a rage. "I'm going to punch his face right—"

"Binding!" Heng Zhou suddenly spoke.

Fen Tian suddenly couldn't move, his hands pinned behind his back uncontrollably.

It was as if someone had taken a rope and tied him up.

But Fen Tian knew that no one could tie him up; the only one who could bind him was himself.

This was the uniqueness of Heng Zhou's Supernatural Ability.

He controlled his thoughts, making him use his own strength to trap himself.

Fen Tian suddenly burst into laughter.

"You finally made a move. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"

He suddenly exerted force, and his hands pinned behind his back moved outward a bit.

It was as if the thing "Binding" him was a rubber band.

However, very soon, his hands were pressed back again by his own power.

Fen Tian knelt on the ground, panting.

Attempt after attempt... failure after failure...

"Fen Tian!"

Tang Ruan ran toward him but was grabbed by Yan Qing.

"Don't interfere in their business."

"What do you mean 'their business'! They are both my Beast Husbands!

Are you going to let go... If you don't let go, I'll be angry!"

Under Tang Ruan's glare, Yan Qing looked around, and after confirming there was no danger, he let her go.

Tang Ruan immediately ran to Fen Tian, distressed as she wiped the sweat from his brow.

Beneath Fen Tian, because of his repeated struggles, several cracks had burst open on the ground, dense like a spider web.

"A-Wu..."

Fen Tian used his head, the only part he could move, to gently rub against the crown of Tang Ruan's head.

Tang Ruan looked at Heng Zhou. "Release him!"

She knew all too well what it felt like to be trapped by Heng Zhou's "Binding."

She had tasted that feeling back when she was with the Jiao Clan.

Seeing Tang Ruan's displeased expression, Heng Zhou immediately released Fen Tian.

Fen Tian grabbed Tang Ruan in a hug, softly calling her name, "A-Wu... A-Wu..."

As if he had suffered a great grievance.

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan didn't actually believe that Heng Zhou had caused Fen Tian much harm.

But those two cries of "A-Wu," which seemed to have inherited Hu Che's true legacy, still made her heart melt.

Tang Ruan brushed a stray lock of hair away from his brow.

"Fen Tian, Heng Zhou is my fated Beast Husband. I am destined to have five Beast Husbands.

I promise, he's the last one.

Can you two please not fight?"

She coaxed him in a soft voice.

Fen Tian had heard Yan Qing mention this legend.

But he didn't answer and even shot a glare at Heng Zhou.

Because he suddenly realized that he really couldn't beat him.

Heng Zhou was the first servant created by the Former Beast God.

One of his functions was to control and suppress the Supernatural Abilities of the others.

But Fen Tian was still unconvinced.

He had originally thought that since A-Wu and Heng Zhou had been together for so many years before he was born without becoming mates.

They would never be able to become mates in this lifetime.

Even when he saw Heng Zhou bring back a Cub that looked so much like Tang Ruan.

He only thought that he missed his "sister."

He didn't expect—that he would still find a loophole!

Heng Zhou walked up to Fen Tian.

"Since things have come to this, I cannot give up on A-Wu. If you are angry.

You can—hit me until your anger is gone.

I won't fight back, nor will I dodge."

Fen Tian's eyes lit up. "You said it!"

Heng Zhou: "Yes."

Tang Ruan wanted to say something, but Heng Zhou raised his hand to stop her.

His gaze was firm. "This is the price I must pay."

"But—"

Yan Qing walked to Tang Ruan's side.

Tang Ruan suddenly remembered that Fen Tian had only accepted Lang Lie and Yan Qing after fighting with them.

Perhaps this was his way of finding psychological balance.

Yan Qing slowly pulled Tang Ruan up and pulled her into his arms.

"Don't worry too much about them; Male Beastmen have their own way of settling things."

Tang Ruan: "Then... no using Beast Forms! And no using Supernatural Abilities!"

Tang Ruan: Such a familiar sentence.

Heng Zhou and Fen Tian nodded to her at the same time.

Then, they disappeared before her eyes in the blink of an eye.

Tang Ruan: Why do I feel like their expressions seemed a bit excited...

The second day.

The two did not return.

The third day, the two did not return.

The fourth day, Tang Ruan suspected they had killed each other.

Just as she was worrying about losing two Beast Husbands at such a young age...

Fen Tian and Heng Zhou returned, supporting each other.

The two, who were originally discussing something, suddenly pushed each other away as soon as they saw Tang Ruan.

As if they had touched something filthy.

"I'm going back to my room," Heng Zhou said to Tang Ruan expressionlessly.

"I'm going back to my room too," Fen Tian said to Tang Ruan, his eyes darting away.

Tang Ruan: ...

They had a fight and then reached a consensus—to not want her anymore?

No!

These two are definitely up to something fishy!

In the middle of the night, Tang Ruan snuck into Heng Zhou's room—no one.

Then she snuck into Fen Tian's room—no one.

Did these two go out together?

As Tang Ruan was walking back, she suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the backyard.

Since the incident with Jiao Yi, Yan Qing had sealed off the hot spring.

Now when she bathed, there were specific beastmen responsible for boiling water.

In the backyard, only a small ornamental lake remained, fed by river water that didn't flow into the sea.

The sound seemed to be coming from there.

Tang Ruan had been snatched from the water by Jiao Yi once, so she didn't dare approach water in the middle of the night anymore.

But out of curiosity, she climbed all the way up to the fourth floor. A window in one of the rooms faced that lake.

In the room, she found a low stool and held it in her hand as a weapon.

Taking a breath, she slowly pushed open a crack in the window and looked down.

Instantly, the stool in her hand fell.

"Clang," it made a loud noise.

Heng Zhou and Fen Tian simultaneously looked up from the lake.
