29: Chapter 29 Then Take It Off

"You... you'll support me?"

Lang Lie thought he had misheard.

His Mistress, his Female Beastman, wanted to support him?

A Female Beastman without a Beast Husband couldn't even survive on her own, so how could she support him?

But on second thought.

Some Female Beastmen had many Beast Husbands.

These Beast Husbands weren't all particularly capable.

Some were only there because they looked good, or were particularly satisfying to the Female Beastman in certain ways.

The Female Beastman would use the food brought back by other Beast Husbands to support him.

Was that what she meant?

Was she planning to find a few more Beast Husbands to support him?

Tang Ruan noticed Lang Lie had suddenly gone quiet.

She turned her head to look at him.

Seeing his melancholy blue eyes sparkling, his face like a Greek sculpture gilded with a layer of gold by the setting sun...

She couldn't help but reach out her "claws of mischief"...

And rubbed his face.

"You look so good, even if you were useless, I would still support you!"

She smiled like a cat that had stolen some fish.

Lang Lie: ...

Lang Lie's mood was extremely low.

So, in her heart, he was this useless.

There were really no more Grass Bamboo Rats to be found.

Tang Ruan took a few more beastmen and cut a lot of green grass by the stream.

Near the cave where they lived, she found a smaller cave and threw both the Grass Bamboo Rats and the grass inside.

Finally, Lang Chi and Lang Mo moved a few stones half a person's height and blocked the cave entrance.

Lang Chi put his hands on his hips, "Tang Ruan, when are we eating?"

Tang Ruan handed him a few dead Grass Bamboo Rats.

"We're roasting these tonight."

"Just these few?" Lang Chi looked disgusted, "This isn't even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."

Lang Mo looked at Tang Ruan.

He nodded honestly.

"You're too stingy, we worked all afternoon, we thought we could have a big meal!"

Lang Chi stared greedily at the cave.

"These can't be eaten now."

"Then when can we eat them?"

Tang Ruan raised her eyebrows mysteriously, "When they turn from twenty into two hundred."

"Two... two hundred?" Lang Mo said in surprise.

Lang Chi frowned.

Suddenly, he reached out and placed his hand on Tang Ruan's forehead.

"Did you eat something wrong when you were catching the bamboo rats just now? You've been poisoned! You're talking nonsense!"

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan slapped his hand away.

She told Lang Mo and Lang Chi about her plan to farm the Grass Bamboo Rats.

After hearing the plan, Lang Chi and Lang Mo:

O-O...

"It... it can be done like this?" Lang Chi was so excited he couldn't finish his sentence.

How come their ancestors never thought of raising prey?

"Then if we have enough meat, we won't have to go hunting in dangerous places!" A hopeful light shone in Lang Mo's eyes.

Tang Ruan nodded triumphantly.

"I have two more sheep at the Marmot Tribe, I'll bring them back in a few days. After they give birth to lambs, they can continue to reproduce. It's just that sheep take a long time to mature. But, in a few years, we will have many sheep!"

"At that time, I can eat mutton every day!" Lang Chi licked his lips.

Eating these messy things every day, he had almost forgotten what mutton tasted like!

Tang Ruan was simply too amazing!

Too smart!

The more Lang Chi looked at Tang Ruan, the cuter he thought she was.

He couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair.

"Don't rub my head!"

Tang Ruan was short, and after struggling for a long time, she finally escaped from his clutches.

And Lang Lie, who was standing not far away, watched everything that happened.

He lowered his eyes, casting a shadow underneath...

Dinner was still potatoes and tooth ball fruit stewed with tiger meat.

They had been eating this for several days in a row.

Fortunately, everyone was not tired of it yet.

And today there were "Tang-style special rat meat skewers".

Lang Chi followed Tang Ruan's example and used a stone knife to cut the meat into small pieces.

"Why so much trouble, can't we just roast it directly?"

"You don't understand! This way the flavor gets in!"

She had just unlocked the secret recipe for barbecue seasoning.

Lang Lie squeezed between the two.

"Swish, swish, swish," a few flashes of cold light passed.

The meat was all cut into neat slices, and just a little trimming was needed to use them.

"Lang Lie, you're too amazing!"

Tang Ruan clapped her hands in praise.

Lang Chi looked enlightened.

"Why didn't I think of that?"

A few claw strikes passed, and the meat slices became small diced meat.

Tang Ruan nodded with satisfaction.

Lang Chi was triumphant.

Then...

He met Lang Lie's death stare.

He silently stepped back.

"Lang Chi! Stand next to Tang Ruan and learn properly!"

Lang Yue's voice suddenly came from not far away.

She sat on the ground, a cunning smile on her lips.

"After you learn, make it for your Mistress to eat. Then you won't have to make your Mistress work so hard."

She said this ambiguously.

It seemed to imply that Lang Chi would become Tang Ruan's Beast Husband in the future.

Many Wolf Tribe beastmen had long wanted to push the old patriarch's son to Tang Ruan.

For a moment, they joined in the teasing.

"Lang Chi, learn well. The patriarch is very busy, usually, you still need to take care of the Witch Doctor!"

"Exactly, for a few Male Beastmen, there must be some responsible for hunting and some responsible for serving the Female Beastman."

"You and Lang Lie have been closest since childhood, like a family. I didn't expect you to really become a family in the end, haha!"

Lang Chi, standing in the corner, said nothing.

He seemed to default to everyone's statement.

Tang Ruan waved her hands desperately.

"Everyone, don't talk nonsense, I have no intention of taking in Beast Husbands! I have Lang Lie, and that's enough!"

"Witch Doctor, don't speak too soon! Which Female Beastman only has one Beast Husband! It's embarrassing to say it out!"

"Exactly," a Female Beastman stood up, "We had no choice, the excellent Male Beastmen in the tribe all have their eyes on you. You don't know, when I had five Beast Husbands before, those days were... one for each day, and when in a good mood, we could even sleep together..."

The female beast looked intoxicated.

The beastmen burst into laughter.

Tang Ruan's face turned as red as a monkey's butt.

Was this something she should be hearing?

Was it free to listen to?

"Everyone, stop joking! Your patriarch is going to be angry!"

Tang Ruan looked cautiously at Lang Lie's side profile.

His hands were already clenched into fists at his sides.

But he was struggling to control his dominance.

Everyone was right.

To let Tang Ruan belong only to him—that was too selfish.

She needed more Beast Husbands to take care of her.

And, if one day, he died.

What would she do?

Finally, a smile appeared on his face.

Without a word, he turned and left.

Tang Ruan just wanted to chase after him.

She was grabbed by a female beast.

"Witch Doctor! You haven't finished teaching yet!"

"Lang Lie!" Tang Ruan shouted at his retreating figure.

A group of beastmen blocked Tang Ruan with clumsy hands and feet.

"Don't spoil him too much! Even the patriarch can't do that! Do you really not plan to take in any more Beast Husbands in your life?"

"We Male Beastmen all have this day. Letting him figure it out early and think for you early is for his own good..."

"At least there should be two Beast Husbands, how can one Male Beastman serve a Female Beastman well?"

Tang Ruan was entangled.

It wasn't until everyone had eaten that she found a chance to run out.

Lang Lie didn't return to the cave.

She searched for a circle.

She found him in the hot spring in the forest.

There were many hot springs of all sizes in Dongdong Valley.

When Tang Ruan transmigrated, she was lying in the crater of an extinct volcano.

Inside the volcano was a large hot spring.

After the hot spring water was filtered layer by layer through the underground, it entered Dongdong Valley with very low salinity and could be drunk directly.

Tang Ruan walked to the side of the hot spring.

Behind the dense mist.

Moonlight spilled onto his clean upper body, and the wound on his shoulder had not yet fully healed.

"Come up quickly after you're done washing, your wound can't be soaked in water."

"What for?" Lang Lie lowered his eyes and stepped back a few steps.

As if to spite her, he was almost completely submerged in the water.

"Come up, I have something to tell you."

She had to make it clear to him today.

She really didn't plan to take in any Beast Husbands.

She had him, and that was enough!

No matter what aspect, he was perfect in her heart.

"Say it right here."

"It's not convenient here... someone will hear."

"Then come down and say it."

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan: "If I go down, my clothes will get wet."

Lang Lie raised his eyes, his ice-blue eyes carrying the arrogance of a superior.

"Then take it off."
