259: Chapter 259 A-Wu... I was wrong.

"A-Wu… I was wrong."

Tang Ruan turned around and ran towards the backyard.

Heng Zhou and Fentian lowered their heads at the same time and looked at each other.

Fentian: "A-Wu seems to have noticed."

Heng Zhou: "It's all your fault. Why did you suddenly pounce on me?"

Fentian: "Isn't it because you're too useless?"

"You brat! Who taught you to speak to your older brother like that!"

When Tang Ruan appeared by the lake, Fentian was pinching the back of Heng Zhou's neck and pressing him into the water.

Hearing Tang Ruan's footsteps, Fentian looked up at her and called out pitifully: "A-Wu…"

Just for that one second, the time spent pretending to be pitiful.

Heng Zhou took the initiative, performed a shoulder throw, and threw Fentian into the water.

Tang Ruan: …

Heng Zhou lifted his chin and puffed out his chest.

Under the moonlight, his skin was as smooth and delicate as fine silk.

Without Fentian to compare him to, his physique also appeared very robust.

Tang Ruan: …

So, was he showing off on purpose?

She hadn't observed closely before… it was indeed quite good.

Especially where he was standing, the water level was a bit low, making his mermaid line very obvious. If it were a little lower, she would be able to see important parts…

Tang Ruan sniffed and looked away.

No!

That wasn't the purpose of her coming here.

"What is going on with the injuries on both of you!" Tang Ruan roared.

During the day, she had felt that the two of them were strange, but she couldn't tell exactly where.

Looking down from the window just now, she saw that both of them were covered in injuries.

Each person had dozens of lacerations on their body, some even deep enough to see the bone.

She only then realized what was strange.

At that time, it was as if she had been controlled, and her gaze could only stay above their necks.

So what she saw were just their expressions.

Logically speaking, the two of them came back supporting each other.

She definitely should have checked first to see if they were injured.

Why didn't she think to look down?

"Heng Zhou! Did you use a curse on me!" Tang Ruan said angrily.

Heng Zhou: …

Heng Zhou opened his purple eyes wide.

Tang Ruan: Is he trying to "get away with being cute"?

"You promised me you wouldn't probe my thoughts again!"

"I didn't look at your thoughts, it was…" Heng Zhou pursed his lips, "casting a curse…"

Tang Ruan: Fine, fine, blame her for not being rigorous enough in her demands?

Tang Ruan's gaze carefully scanned Heng Zhou's body, which was covered in wounds.

The wound on his shoulder, stretching from his left shoulder to his right chest, looked painful just by looking at it.

And these two people were still soaking in the water.

Her heart ached so much that her eyes turned red.

She looked at Fentian again.

Fentian was completely submerged in the water, with only his big eyes exposed.

Like a small animal hiding, afraid of being scolded.

Tang Ruan: …

Did he think she wouldn't scold him if he hid in the water?

"Fentian, you were too heavy-handed!"

Tang Ruan walked quickly towards him.

Fentian instinctively took two steps back, lost his footing underwater, and hurriedly stumbled forward a few steps.

A "splash" sound was heard.

His bronze-colored body was completely exposed to Tang Ruan.

The moonlight shone on him, illuminating the bright red wounds on his body with absolute clarity.

Chest, abdomen, arms, thighs, calves…

Tang Ruan couldn't even find a part of his body without a wound.

The wound on Fentian's thigh ran diagonally across his entire thigh.

It looked like a scratch from some giant creature.

Tang Ruan couldn't imagine how painful it must have been when his skin was sliced open by sharp claws and his muscle fibers were cut…

Having suffered such severe injuries, he could still stand alive in front of her.

It was simply a miracle.

The tears that had been swirling in Tang Ruan's eyes finally fell uncontrollably.

"What exactly is going on with you two? You even wanted to hide it from me…"

Tang Ruan cried as she stepped into the water.

Heng Zhou hurriedly went to support her, afraid she would fall.

Tang Ruan opened her arms, instinctively wanting to hug Fentian, but then suddenly realized that there wasn't a single good spot on his body.

She had nowhere to touch…

Hugging him would only make him hurt more, right…

So, Tang Ruan's hands hovered in mid-air.

She raised her face and looked at Fentian's face, her lips trembling with heartache.

"A-Wu… A-Wu… I was wrong."

Fentian took the first step, pulling her into his arms.

Tang Ruan still held her hands up, not daring to move, because she was afraid that if she moved, he would hurt more.

Heng Zhou silently grabbed one of Tang Ruan's hands and told her what had happened over the past few days.

That day, Fentian and Heng Zhou flew out of the Beast Kingdom and found an uninhabited canyon, intending to properly settle their grievances.

Although the two agreed not to use Supernatural Ability.

But after fighting for a while, Fentian was irritated by the smug look on Heng Zhou's face while he was getting beaten.

Thinking of the fact that he was actually the first beastman A-Wu liked…

Fentian threw a punch, lost control of his strength, and used his Supernatural Ability.

Heng Zhou instinctively dodged.

The towering giant tree behind him instantly turned into powder.

Heng Zhou was badly frightened and instantly became angry as well, using his Supernatural Ability on Fentian.

And so, the two of them started fighting using Supernatural Ability.

By the time they realized it, the canyon had already become flat ground…

When he got to this point, Heng Zhou coughed lightly, "The terrain there is now very suitable for building a city. We can tell Yan Qing about it another day."

Tang Ruan: "Oh! Then I'll thank you on behalf of Yan Qing for helping him develop the land?"

Fentian: "We didn't do it specifically to help him develop it, so he doesn't need to be polite."

Tang Ruan: …

Heng Zhou: Sometimes, not having a good brain really makes life happier.

He guiltily turned his face away and continued speaking.

After that, the two changed to another secret canyon to fight.

This time, to prevent each other from losing control and using Supernatural Ability, Heng Zhou cast a Heart Curse on both of them—

Within three days, neither could use Supernatural Ability.

And to prevent them from breaking it while fighting… he instinctively broke the curse.

The curse Heng Zhou cast was an "Absolute Curse," which meant it was an unbreakable curse.

"You actually planned to fight for three days!" Tang Ruan raised her voice and turned to glare at Heng Zhou.

Heng Zhou touched his nose, "I didn't think that much at the time."

After they vented their anger, they lay in the valley, recalling their past life on Beast God Mountain.

As a result, a pit suddenly appeared on the ground.

Fentian and Heng Zhou both fell into it—

And that hole was exactly the same as the hole that appeared outside Central City a few days ago.

Inside the hole, there was a different world.

It was like a world where the ground was the sky.

Looking up, one could see the roots of plants suspended in mid-air.

A huge yellow bead hung in mid-air, like a sun without temperature, illuminating the cave as if it were daytime.

Heng Zhou and Fentian intended to return the way they came first.

But the monsters that suddenly appeared at the cave entrance blocked their way back.

The two used their Supernatural Ability to fight, only to find that their Supernatural Ability could not be used.

Even though Fentian's physical strength was dozens of times that of an ordinary beastman, and Heng Zhou's practical combat experience was also very rich.

But the monsters were dozens of times their size and had exoskeletons as hard as stone.

Finally, with the two working together, Fentian pried open a piece of the monster's chest armor and dug out its heart.

Only then did this battle end.

The two sat on the ground, exhausted, back to back, and their grudges were wiped away with a smile.

After experiencing life and death together again, it seemed that all the previous unhappiness was not so important anymore.

They were still brothers who could entrust their backs to each other.

But what the two didn't know was that more monsters were closing in…
