262: Chapter 262 "If you want me to make you sad, then don't even think about it..."

Hu Che thought he had misheard, pointing at his own nose, he asked, "Me?"

Him, a Mid-level Beastman?

Was he going to fight monsters, or was he going to his death?

Not to mention now, even back when he was at his strongest.

He wouldn't even be enough for a monster to—snack on!!!

His Supernatural Ability was not even effective against anything other than Beastmen.

"Sigh..."

Hu Che let out a sigh.

Drooping his shoulders, he said half-jokingly, "Beast King, I was wrong. Can you not drive me to such an extremity..."

Yan Qing looked at him with a half-smile, saying nothing.

Hu Che said, "I will strive to help the Beast Kingdom earn more crystals next year."

Seeing Yan Qing had no reaction.

He held up two fingers, his eyes sparkling, and added, "Double it!"

Yan Qing replied, "I plan to take over the Jiao Clan. From now on, the Jiao Clan's crystals will all be the Beast Kingdom's crystals."

The implication was that he didn't care for his meager offerings.

Hu Che: ...

Before Hu Che could say anything more, Yan Qing stepped in, saying, "This is an order."

"Yes!"

Hu Che left the Beast King Palace, dejected.

He suddenly felt that he was useless...

Why couldn't he be as powerful as the Mistress's other Beast Husbands?

If only he could be as powerful as them...

What was his purpose in this home...

As Hu Che was thinking this, he looked up and saw Tang Ruan sitting in the courtyard.

She was holding Xiao Yi and shaking him frantically.

Hu Che: ...

"Are you coming out or not? If you don't come out, I'm going to smash the eggshell!"

Tang Ruan placed Xiao Yi on the table and picked up a stone she had prepared in advance to threaten him.

Since gentle words were of no use, don't blame this old mother for resorting to violence!

"I'm going to smash it! I'll count to ten, think it over carefully—" Tang Ruan glared fiercely at Xiao Yi—even though he couldn't see her.

Guo Guo was on the side "translating," "Little brother says, even if you smash him to death, he won't come out."

Tang Ruan: ...

Very well, have some backbone!

She raised the stone, "Ten, nine, eight, two, one!"

Xiao Yi: !!!

Xiao Yi suddenly darted behind Hu Che.

Did she think he couldn't count? How could "two" come after eight!

Tang Ruan watched as Xiao Yi darted behind Hu Che—and was stunned.

Guo Guo—was stunned.

Hu Che—was stunned.

Xiao Yi also—was stunned.

Xiao Yi slowly flew out from behind Hu Che.

On both sides of his eggshell, two wings formed by golden Supernatural Ability appeared.

The wingspan was twice his body length, perfectly supporting his round "body."

Xiao Yi flew in front of Hu Che.

He retracted his left wing in disbelief, examining it.

The next second, he lost his balance and fell straight toward the ground.

"Xiao Yi!" Hu Che caught him with quick reflexes.

Tang Ruan let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Although she had threatened Xiao Yi that she would smash the eggshell, she had no intention of actually doing so.

She was still very worried that Xiao Yi would get hurt.

Xiao Yi felt the familiar sensation from Hu Che.

Recognizing him.

He burrowed desperately into his arms.

Hu Che was amused by his cute appearance.

"Actually, Xiao Yi being like this is quite good. He has to come out sooner or later anyway. Staying in the egg for a few more days is fine."

Besides, Xiao Yi could already fly.

Powerful Beastmen... even their Cubs were so amazing!

Hu Che was envious.

The Cub he had with the Mistress would surely be a very ordinary Beastman...

If their Cub didn't inherit the Mistress's Supernatural Ability, but inherited his instead, they might not even be able to use Mind Control...

Because Mind Control was a very difficult Supernatural Ability to inherit; his father had many Cubs, but only he and his eldest brother had inherited it.

Hu Che thought pessimistically.

However, even though he was so ordinary, even though he felt he was useless.

He still wanted to be thick-skinned and stay by her side...

Hu Che placed Xiao Yi on the table.

Xiao Yi immediately flew up.

At the same time, Guo Guo stomped her foot.

Chasing after Xiao Yi, running all over the courtyard.

No one knew what Guo Guo had heard from Xiao Yi.

Anyway, these two siblings could communicate without any Barriers.

Tang Ruan sat back down on the stool.

She sighed, "Hatching Plan 2.0" ended in failure.

Suddenly, Hu Che crouched beside her and rested his head on her lap.

"Mistress..."

Tang Ruan: ...

His voice made Tang Ruan's heart ache and soften at the same time.

She subconsciously raised her hand and stroked his soft hair.

They hadn't seen each other for almost a month.

If the original plan had been followed, it would have been Tang Ruan's turn to go live in Red Fox City long ago.

But because everyone felt that until Jiao Yi was completely eliminated, living in Central City was the safest for her.

That was why she hadn't left.

"Did you miss me?" Tang Ruan asked.

Hu Che hugged her legs tightly.

"Mm."

"Then... shall I accompany you tonight?" she asked in a low voice.

Hu Che: "Mm."

Tang Ruan: Why doesn't he seem very happy?

Just as she was about to ask him, Hu Che suddenly looked up.

His golden-orange pupils gazed at her intently, his eyes filled with a faint sorrow.

"Mistress, if I die, will you miss me?"

"Are you sick?"

Tang Ruan immediately examined his body; she didn't see any purple aura.

Hu Che said pitifully, "Yan Qing wants me to go clear out the monsters."

Tang Ruan's eyes widened suddenly, and just as she was about to say something, she suddenly understood Yan Qing's intention.

She changed her tune, "Then you—just go!"

Hu Che: ...

Hu Che: Even the Mistress doesn't care if he lives or dies!

His eye sockets turned red with frustration, and he angrily turned his face away, burying it back into her lap.

Yet he still couldn't bear to let go of her.

Hu Che thought all night and came up with dozens of his own "uses."

Among them, he was more attentive than Fen Tian and could help him take care of Xiao Yi.

He had the most research on new things in the Beast World like clothes and jewelry. He could dress the Mistress up beautifully.

He could also be responsible for tidying up the room.

He was also the best at making the Mistress happy...

Hu Che went to find Tang Ruan with great enthusiasm, intending to tell her all this.

Then he discovered—Lang Lie had arrived.

Lang Lie usually arrived in Central City on the same day as him.

This time he was a day late because he had encountered two monsters on the way.

He had fought the two monsters alone for half a day, dealt with both of them, and could be considered to have avenged his past.

When Heng Zhou and Fen Tian heard he was here, they both came out to see Duan Shi's Cub.

Hearing that he had now reached level five and had also dealt with two monsters.

The two immediately vied to pass on their combat experience to him.

Tang Ruan listened, feeling proud as well.

As they talked, the three of them began to teach Tang Ruan methods for leveling up.

Hu Che stood in the distance, listening silently.

His body had once suffered severe damage.

Not to mention leveling up, he might forever only be a Mid-level Beastman.

Suddenly, they discovered his presence.

They suddenly lowered their voices collectively, speaking in a volume only they could hear.

Heng Zhou turned back and met Hu Che's gaze.

Afterward, he withdrew his gaze indifferently.

Hu Che suddenly felt that they didn't seem to be in the same world.

Heng Zhou and Fen Tian's bodies recovered at lightning speed. With Tang Ruan's help, by the seventh day, they were almost fully recovered.

Tomorrow was the day Hu Che was to go clear out the monsters.

He still couldn't help it and went to find Tang Ruan.

"Mistress! You must accompany me today!" he said childishly.

Tang Ruan looked at his resolute gaze and said somewhat nervously, "Okay... okay..."

After a night that was almost frantic, Hu Che planted a kiss on her brow.

"You must miss me," he said solemnly.

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head away and added, "If thinking of me makes you sad, then don't think of me..."

Tang Ruan clenched her fists and took a deep breath.

She couldn't help but want to say it—

If Hu Che kept acting like this, she really wouldn't be able to stop herself from revealing the surprise they had prepared for him, ahhhhh!

Fen Tian and Heng Zhou brought Lang Lie and Hu Che to the canyon in Dongdong Valley.

Hu Che looked down into the canyon; below were hundreds of hideous monsters.

These were the very monsters that had killed his brother.

The four of them landed directly in the center of the canyon.

Fen Tian unfolded a Barrier with a diameter of two meters, protecting the four of them inside.

The monsters could only curiously observe around the Barrier.

Suddenly, Fen Tian pushed Hu Che out.
