289: Chapter 289 Oh! That's useless now.

Yan Qing's Adam's apple bobbed; he had clearly misunderstood.

Tang Ruan didn't correct his assumption, because she had intended for him to misunderstand all along.

Yan Qing: "Okay."

As Yan Qing spoke, he reached his hand out toward the distance.

Tang Ruan guessed that he was going to add to the fire again, so she hurriedly said, "No, no need!"

Yan Qing: "You are cold."

Tang Ruan: "I'm not cold. If I get cold, I'll just hold you, okay?"

She pressed herself against him suggestively.

Yan Qing's eyes darkened, and he withdrew his hand.

Seeing that he agreed, Tang Ruan immediately and nimbly began to undress.

Suddenly, a "ding" sound came.

Tang Ruan subconsciously looked in the direction the sound came from. "What's wrong?"

Yan Qing saw a sparkling dot behind the fire.

His mouth opened slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Tang Ruan.

Two words rolled out from his throat: "It's nothing."

Tang Ruan blinked. If Yan Qing said it was nothing, then it must be nothing.

It was probably just the sound of the firewood.

She seized the time to finish undressing.

Stripped down to her undergarments, she could finally lie down comfortably.

The air outside the quilt was slightly cool, but inside the quilt, it was warm, with a big furnace lying beside her.

Who could understand this subtle sense of comfort?

It was just as comfortable as sleeping under a quilt with the air conditioning on in the summer!

Tang Ruan clung to Yan Qing like an octopus.

Yan Qing: "Mating in this weather, you'll easily get sick."

Tang Ruan was stunned; of course, she knew that.

She didn't intend to mate today either; she just wanted to sleep while holding Yan Qing.

Seeing that he didn't have that thought either, Tang Ruan felt relieved instead.

"Mm-hmm, I'll just hold you. We won't do anything else."

The temperature was too comfortable, and Tang Ruan fell asleep before long.

However, in the middle of the night, she felt her "furnace" seemed to have left.

Tang Ruan opened her eyes and saw Yan Qing hazily walking behind the fire.

By the time he returned to the bedside, the fire behind him had turned from one into three.

His scorching body temperature enveloped her...

Tang Ruan felt Yan Qing kissing her.

But she was fast asleep and really had no interest in that sort of thing.

Tang Ruan: "Don't want to, cold..."

Yan Qing's hand rubbed Tang Ruan's arm, confirming that her skin wasn't cold at all.

Then—he covered her entire body with his own.

"Move a little, and you won't be cold anymore."

Later, amidst Yan Qing's repeated calls of "Ruan Ruan," Tang Ruan slowly woke up.

And then drifted into a deep sleep again due to exhaustion.

It wasn't until the next day that Tang Ruan woke up naturally.

Only to discover— "Where is my ring?"

She stretched out her ten fingers and looked at them over and over again.

When did she lose it?

That was a gift Yan Qing gave her!

Besides, if she wasn't wearing the ring, then last night, wouldn't it have been...

She had already promised Hu Che to let the fox Cub be the fourth one!

Ahhhhh!

It shouldn't be that easy to get pregnant, right...

Orcs should have an ovulation period too, right?

Frightened and worried, she kowtowed three times in the direction of the original Beast God Mountain, begging the Beast God not to let her get pregnant.

After she finished kowtowing, she remembered that her own Beast Husband was the new Beast God...

Tang Ruan: Oh! That's useless now.

Yan Qing wasn't in the cave. Tang Ruan put on her clothes and conducted a carpet search of the cave—she didn't find it.

She got dressed and walked out of the cave; the snow outside had already stopped.

The snow in front of the cave had just been cleared by the Snow Deer Tribe orcs.

Tang Ruan looked at the lush green grass, and her heart sank.

If it was lost outside, she would never find it!

The news of Tang Ruan losing her ring quickly spread throughout the Snow Deer Tribe.

Everyone helped look for it.

However, until three days later, when Tang Ruan and Yan Qing were preparing to leave, it still hadn't been found.

"I'm sorry, I lost the gift you gave me," Tang Ruan said guiltily.

Yan Qing looked away, "Don't take it to heart."

Tang Ruan: Without the contraceptive ring, wouldn't she have litter after litter in the future!!!

Tang Ruan was scratching her head in anxiety when suddenly, the ring went "clatter" and fell at her feet.

She suddenly remembered that she had worn this piece of clothing on the day she lost the ring!

It had actually been hooked onto her clothes!

Tang Ruan hurriedly put the ring back on.

Yan Qing shifted his gaze into the distance, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curling into a smile.

This inspection trip by Tang Ruan and Yan Qing lasted over a month.

Just as they returned to the entrance of the Beast King Palace.

Having received the news, Hu Che rushed out from the gate like the wind.

He grabbed Tang Ruan and spun her around three times on the spot.

Yan Qing: !!!

"Mistress, I missed you so much! Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah..."

Hu Che held Tang Ruan's face and kissed her wildly.

Only under Tang Ruan's slight resistance did he release his hands.

"Where is Lang Lie?"

Hu Che pouted, "You just got back and it's all Lang Lie, Lang Lie. Why don't you ask about Hu Che?"

Tang Ruan: ...

"Isn't Hu Che right in front of my eyes?"

"Then you didn't ask about Fen Tian and Heng Zhou either."

Tang Ruan: "If those two missed me, they would have come to find me."

In fact, during her inspection with Yan Qing, Fen Tian and Heng Zhou did come to see her.

But every time night fell, they were called away by Yan Qing for various reasons.

Then, by the time the three of them finished discussing business and returned.

She had usually already fallen asleep.

It's really strange. The Beast Kingdom is now peaceful and prosperous, so why does it feel like Yan Qing is still so busy?

Arriving at the Beast King Palace, Lang Lie was inside the Beast King Palace discussing matters with various city lords.

A few months ago, Yan Qing publicly announced.

During the time he was not at the Beast King Palace, any of his Mistress's Beast Husbands could act on his behalf and possess the same authority as him.

The words "work" and "act on behalf of" were also newly learned by Yan Qing, and he used them immediately.

In Tang Ruan's view, he just wanted to train the others well so he could be an absentee manager.

Unfortunately, Hu Che didn't want to do it, Fen Tian couldn't do it, and Heng Zhou was busy, so in the end, it fell on her smart Beast Husband, Lang Lie.

Tang Ruan peeked at Lang Lie through the crack in the door.

Once he sat on the Beast King throne, his aura changed completely.

So handsome!

When She Mu saw them just now, he had wanted to go in and announce them.

He was stopped by Yan Qing raising his hand.

At this moment, like Tang Ruan, he was observing Lang Lie's ability to handle problems on his own through the door crack.

Suddenly, Tang Ruan was tugged.

"Mistress!"

Tang Ruan turned around and saw Hu Che looking at her pitifully.

"Do you still remember what you promised me you would do with me as soon as you returned?"

Tang Ruan: Remembered...

She hesitated and nodded.

Hu Che immediately beamed a smile and pulled Tang Ruan away.

As they walked, he kept muttering.

"I've communicated with the Witch Doctor. She said that before you and Yan Qing went out, she had already examined your body and said that your body has recovered very well.

Let's have the Witch Doctor check again; if you don't want to, I can wait a little longer..."

Hu Che's arm suddenly tightened.

He turned his head and saw that Tang Ruan had stopped.

She was staring at Hu Che somewhat nervously.

Hu Che's heart immediately sank.

He hurriedly explained: "Mistress, I don't insist that you must give birth to a Cub for me.

You don't have to give birth.

I... I just look at the Baby every day and feel a little envious...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Let's not have one, okay?"

He turned around and cupped Tang Ruan's face to comfort her.

He was truly crazy.

Although when the Mistress gives birth to a Cub, with the help of the Witch Doctor Yan Qing found, she wouldn't feel pain.

And, it would also be helpful for her to restore her Supernatural Ability.

But the two months of pregnancy are very hard.

How could he, because of his own selfish desires, force the Mistress to do something she didn't want to do?

Hu Che hugged Tang Ruan for a while.

Only then did he dare to let go and look at her expression.

However, Tang Ruan still looked very nervous.

"What's wrong?" Hu Che asked curiously.

Tang Ruan: "I'm not sure either, but..."
