284: Chapter 284 "My Lady, I'm not in a hurry."

Xiao Yi began to transfer Energy to Tang Ruan.

At first, he still hadn't grasped the technique.

Absorbing Energy was simple, but when transferring it, either he couldn't get it out no matter what, or it would just explode...

Yan Qing and Lang Lie were terrified, ready at any moment to release a Barrier to protect Tang Ruan and Guo Guo.

Because they couldn't use a Barrier to isolate Xiao Yi and Tang Ruan beforehand, as that would affect the transmission of Energy.

After experiencing three explosions, Guo Guo remained beside Xiao Yi, her expression unchanged.

She would sense his thoughts while trying to teach him how to adjust his Supernatural Ability.

Although she hadn't inherited her mother's Supernatural Ability, she could feel Xiao Yi's emotions.

Combining this with the little bits of information she had occasionally glimpsed from her mother in the past.

Xiao Yi truly learned how to absorb and release Energy under her guidance.

It wasn't until Hu Che felt that Tang Ruan's hands were gradually gaining warmth that they were certain this miracle had truly happened!

However, the Energy in Tang Ruan's body still couldn't be stored.

Xiao Yi could only transfer Energy to Tang Ruan at fixed times every day.

Thinking of this, Tang Ruan looked again at Xiao Yi, who was bumping against the stone.

She didn't notice a tear sliding down her cheek and into her collar.

People always say that there are no filial sons before a long-term sickbed.

Xiao Yi hadn't even hatched yet! Yet he had taken care of her, his old mother, for several months.

Even Fen Tian and Heng Zhou's Energy had been restored bit by bit by Xiao Yi using this method.

Later, perhaps because the Energy had been passing in and out of the eggshell, the shell, soaked in Energy, became thicker and thicker... until finally, it became indestructible.

Even without using any Energy to protect the eggshell, it couldn't be broken no matter what they tried.

"Why don't we think of another way!"

Tang Ruan walked over and picked Xiao Yi up from the stone with a heart full of pity.

She felt that Xiao Yi must be dizzy from all the bumping. Heng Zhou and Fen Tian sighed at the same time.

"He can only rely on himself to become stronger and break through the eggshell from the inside," said Heng Zhou.

Tang Ruan touched Xiao Yi's eggshell and said to him, "Xiao Yi, from today on, you don't need to help Mother transfer Energy anymore. Mother will absorb it herself, you need to hurry up and become strong!"

Hearing Tang Ruan say this, Fen Tian and Heng Zhou immediately became nervous.

Fen Tian said, "A-Wu, you don't need to feel sorry for him; he is our Cub."

Tang Ruan shook her head.

Such a small Cub, relying on his Supernatural Ability to save the three of them.

It went without saying that this was an extremely exhausting task.

Since waking up, Heng Zhou and Fen Tian had never let Xiao Yi transfer Energy again.

But after she gave birth to the Baby, she hadn't recovered her Supernatural Ability for a while.

That was why she had let Xiao Yi continue to transfer Energy.

But she was truly heartbroken, and she was really afraid that he would overexert himself and suffer some lasting side effects.

Oh! No! He already had side effects. He couldn't come out...

Tang Ruan smiled at Fen Tian and said, "After this period of recuperation, I can already absorb Energy on my own. It will only get better in the future."

Tang Ruan wasn't lying; she had indeed recovered her Supernatural Ability these past few days.

It was just that she was still "leaking" while absorbing.

But as long as she didn't deliberately consume it, the incoming Energy and the lost Energy could reach a delicate balance, allowing her to live like a normal, ordinary High-level Beastman.

The fact that she could recover to this extent was actually partly thanks to the Baby.

Just as she was thinking this, Hu Niu's boisterous voice came from upstairs, "Sister! The Baby is awake. The Witch Doctor asks if you want to see him?"

To take care of Tang Ruan's body, since the Baby was born, Tang Ruan hadn't taken care of him for a single day.

The daily routine of feeding, cleaning, and changing was all handed over to the three Witch Doctors and the wet nurses hired by Yan Qing.

Even sleeping with the Baby was collectively refused by her five Beast Husbands.

They said it was because the Cub was too noisy at night, which was not conducive to her recovery.

Tang Ruan had to argue her case just to earn the right to accompany him for his nap.

Thus, she, the biological mother, ended up being a hands-off manager. She was only responsible for playing with the Cub, not for taking care of the Cub.

After going upstairs, Tang Ruan found Hu Che and Lang Lie there too.

After Red Fox City was completely destroyed in the disaster, the people of Red Fox City who escaped were dispersed and settled in different cities.

The Male Beastmen and Female Beastmen of Red Fox City had always been partners that all races vied to have.

Therefore, it was very easy for them to integrate into different races and gradually begin new lives.

And Lang Lie had handed Wolf City over to Lang Feng. The two of them had settled down in Central City.

Hu Che didn't notice Tang Ruan coming in and, a step ahead of her, picked up the Baby.

She felt that Hu Che, this Fifth Father, was even closer to the Baby than she, the biological mother.

Perhaps... after her body got a bit better, she would just give birth to one for Hu Che first.

Just as Tang Ruan was thinking this, a Female Beastman Witch Doctor closest to her suddenly smiled and said, "The Divine Maiden was able to recover so well this time, and the Baby also deserves a lot of credit. If you continue to nourish your body and hurry up to have one with the Lord of Red Fox City, it will be even more helpful for your recovery!"

Tang Ruan: ...

If she didn't know that this Witch Doctor was the younger sister of one of the three Old Witch Doctors, Tang Ruan would have suspected that she could read minds.

She gave her an awkward smile.

Turning her head, she met Hu Che's gaze.

His eyes were curved into crescents, and as he held the Baby, his expression was full of happiness.

She didn't know if it was because he had heard the Witch Doctor's words, or because he saw her.

After teasing the Baby for a while, Lang Lie was suddenly called away by someone sent by Yan Qing.

The several Witch Doctors also withdrew from the room.

For a moment, only Hu Che and Tang Ruan remained in the room.

Tang Ruan was looking down, teasing the Baby on the small bed.

Hu Che suddenly said, "Mistress, I am not in a rush."

Tang Ruan: ?

Tang Ruan looked up and, across the Baby carriage, saw that his orange eyes were filled with anticipation.

Tang Ruan: You say one thing but mean another.

She rocked the Baby's little bed and said with a smile, "The Witch Doctor told me that the reason I could live until now and recover my body to this extent, besides Xiao Yi constantly helping me transfer Energy, the Baby also deserves a lot of credit."

As she spoke, she picked the Baby up again.

Although she had just put him down a short while ago, she, the biological mother, didn't have many chances to hold the Cub during the day...

She adjusted her posture and saw the Baby looking at her with a pair of deep blue eyes like the night sky. He didn't seem to feel uncomfortable.

Only then did she continue to say to Hu Che, "The Witch Doctor said that during the period a Female Beastman is carrying a Cub, the Energy throughout her entire body changes. It has a certain restorative effect on the injuries I suffered before.

And because the Baby absorbed a lot of the Energy Xiao Yi transferred in, not only did he strengthen himself, but it also allowed some of the Energy to be saved in his body without being lost.

This part of the Energy was released in large quantities when he was born. It not only helped him be born smoothly but also helped me repair my body again."

So, having a Cub was really more beneficial than harmful for her current situation.

Seeing that Tang Ruan was not resistant, Hu Che stopped pretending.

He leaned over the small bed, stretching his body out, and pecked Tang Ruan on the lips.

"Then, when your body has recovered, shall we have a little fox Cub too?"

Tang Ruan: "Okay!"

The corners of Hu Che's mouth curled up.

He took two steps back, suddenly put his hands on his hips, and jumped, "Great! Although I went from Second Father to Third Father... and finally became the Fifth Father! But my Cub can be the fourth one! Wow—hahahaha!"

"Ahem!" A soft cough suddenly came from somewhere.
