290: Chapter 290 I am that stinky snake's enemy!

"I'm going to kill that Stinky Snake!"

Hu Che's angry voice came from the Witch Doctor's room.

The Female Beastman Witch Doctor was very respectful toward the Beast King. She gave a light cough and said, "Lord of Red Fox City, please mind your words and actions.

The Beast King's Mistress is pregnant with the Beast King's Cub, giving the Beast Kingdom an heir. This is a wonderful thing!"

Hu Che glared at her. "Who is the Lord of Red Fox City!

I am that Stinky Snake's enemy!

I'm going to bite that Stinky Snake to death!"

Seeing the fierce look on his face, the Female Beastman Witch Doctor was frightened and hurriedly slipped away.

"Goddess, a City Lord is looking for me for a consultation. I'll step out for a moment."

Tang Ruan smiled awkwardly. "Alright..."

Once the Witch Doctor left, Hu Che's expression changed immediately.

He lunged in front of Tang Ruan, hugged her legs tightly, rested his face on her knees, and said aggrievedly, "You promised me—"

Tang Ruan stroked his head. "I know.

I really didn't do it on purpose.

It took three days to find the ring... By the time I put it back on, it was useless."

It was strange, though; she had clearly checked that piece of clothing.

How could it not have been there then?

It must have been because she was too anxious and hadn't checked carefully enough.

It was all her fault!

Hu Che: "Wuwuwu..."

Tang Ruan lowered her head and kissed his head repeatedly, "Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah!"

Tang Ruan: "Be good, I was wrong.

I'll spend more time with you in the future, okay?"

Hu Che: "Wuwu... Even my Cub cannot escape the fate of being the fifth one."

Tang Ruan: "Actually, being the youngest is quite good!

The older brothers and sisters will protect and take care of him."

"Hmph!" Hu Che turned his face away and hugged Tang Ruan's thigh from a different angle.

"You have to compensate me..."

Tang Ruan: "You tell me, how do you want me to compensate you, and I will do it."

Hu Che thought for a moment. "Then you will live with me for a year, and you are not allowed to see that Stinky Snake."

Tang Ruan: "This..."

Hu Che suddenly let go of Tang Ruan—

He threw himself onto the carpet to the side and began rolling around frantically. "The Mistress said she would compensate me, but she can't even do this little thing.

I really am the least important one..."

Tang Ruan: ...

She could already imagine what their future Cub would look like when acting spoiled.

Hu Che rolled around for a while.

Seeing that Tang Ruan had no intention of coaxing him,

he crawled over on his own initiative.

He lifted his face, his large, round, orange eyes staring at Tang Ruan without a trace of tears. "Then half a year."

Tang Ruan: "Yan Qing won't agree to that..."

Hu Che suddenly stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said, "Who cares if he agrees or not!

Mistress, you are the head of the household!

You are the boss!

The boss!"

He reached out and grabbed Tang Ruan's shoulders, as if trying to "shake her awake."

Just as he gave a shake, he suddenly remembered that she already had a Snake egg in her belly.

He hurriedly let go as if electrocuted.

He knelt in front of her and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Tang Ruan smiled, "No."

She reached out and touched her lower abdomen.

It must be the effect of the ring; the ring suppressed the growth rate of the egg. If it weren't for some morning sickness, she wouldn't have felt anything at all this time.

However, Yan Qing had indeed said that he hoped the egg wouldn't grow too large.

It could wait until after the egg was born, and then grow a second time under the nourishment of the crystal, just like Xiao Yi.

If she were to lay the egg in her Beast Form, he worried that her massive Beast Form would consume too much Energy.

Hu Che gave a soft huff, his gaze landing on the ring on Tang Ruan's hand.

"At least he has a conscience."

He didn't make the Mistress suffer.

But Hu Che still couldn't swallow this anger.

"Half a year, it's settled!

If he doesn't listen, and you don't punish him, I won't listen in the future either!"

Tang Ruan: Is this a threat?

Tang Ruan thought for a moment. "Alright!"

Hu Che's eyes widened suddenly, as if he hadn't expected Tang Ruan to actually agree.

Tang Ruan: In any case, maybe in a few days, Yan Qing will do something that touches Hu Che, and the two of them will make up.

Tang Ruan sighed, suddenly feeling like a kindergarten teacher.

A few days later, the whole family was eating together.

Hu Che picked up some food with his chopsticks for Tang Ruan.

Looking at Yan Qing, he said, "The Mistress said that after the egg is born, she will accompany me to live in Dragon Valley for half a year.

Half a year of time just for the two of us!"

Tang Ruan: ...

Why does this person still insist on provoking Yan Qing directly?

Yan Qing ate a mouthful of rice nonchalantly.

Fen Tian's gaze shifted back and forth between him and Tang Ruan.

He suddenly realized something.

He stood up abruptly. "A-Wu! Do you not want to see us anymore?"

Hu Che was startled and hurriedly said, "You live in Dragon Valley, what are you afraid of?"

Fen Tian thought about it. That seems right...

He sat back down in his seat slowly.

Heng Zhou and Lang Lie watched Hu Che silently.

The oppressive feeling inherent to high-ranking beastmen made Hu Che feel very uncomfortable all over.

"The Cub needs to see its mother, I can't stop it from seeing her...

You are always welcome to come to Dragon Valley to play..." Hu Che squeezed the words out through his teeth.

The two of them lowered their heads and continued eating.

When it was Yan Qing's turn, Hu Che was already prepared to retort.

But he saw that Yan Qing didn't give him a single look the entire time.

Hu Che: Stinky Snake, ask something! Get angry!

Hu Che stared at him for a long time before he seemed to sense something and raised his head.

But he didn't look at Hu Che; instead, his gaze passed over Hu Che and landed on Tang Ruan's face.

"I don't want the egg to grow too large. I've asked the Witch Doctor.

It can be born normally in a month. After the egg is born, it will be incubated using the crystal...

After hatching, it will be raised with the crystal for a few more months.

That will be about half a year.

During this time, I will not leave.

Heng Zhou will help me manage the affairs of the Beast Kingdom.

By then, the timing will be just right, and I will take the Cub to see you."

When Yan Qing said the words "timing will be just right," he finally shifted his gaze toward Hu Che.

Hu Che: So he was showing off for nothing!

He didn't have time to accompany the Mistress for half a year anyway!

Hu Che was fuming, his cheeks puffed out as he turned his head away and ignored them.

However, Yan Qing always liked to pursue and attack.

When Hu Che had finished sulking enough and picked up his chopsticks to start eating again,

he suddenly blurted out, "Oh, right! Ruan Ruan.

The Snake Tribe's Cubs can freely choose their gender. Do you want a female Cub or a male Cub?"

"Wow—"

Everyone couldn't help but let out sounds of envy.

There's such a good thing? They all wanted a beautiful female Cub!

Not only are they cute and obedient, but they also have high family status, so there's no need to worry about encountering a bad Mistress.

Hu Che was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He jumped up and roared, "Stinky Snake! Don't go too far!"

Yan Qing smiled slightly.

He completely ignored Hu Che.

"But it also depends on what Ruan Ruan likes. I'm fine with either male or female."

Hu Che: "Ahhhhhh!"

He now strongly suspected that the Mistress's ring from that day had been hidden by the Stinky Snake!

Half a month later.

Tang Ruan lay down on the bed, preparing to take a nap.

Suddenly, she felt a wave of abdominal pain.

That sensation of pain was somewhat like having her period.

But nowadays, it was impossible for her to have a period, and most Female Beastmen had hidden periods.

She guessed that something had gone wrong with the Cub.

She prepared to walk to the door to call Hu Che.

Hu Che had only left a few minutes ago, saying he was going to buy the rose cakes she liked to eat.

But before she could reach the door, she suddenly felt something drop inside her belly.

"Ah!!!"
