292: Chapter 292 The goddess fell in love with me at first sight.

Hu Che's voice suddenly drifted over.

Everyone couldn't help but look at him.

Hu Che cleared his throat, crossed his arms, and said somewhat awkwardly, "It was originally agreed that after the eggs belonging to you and the Mistress were born, the Mistress would go to Dragon Valley to live with me."

"But seeing as—this is a major matter concerning the survival of the Fire Snake Clan..."

"I'll be a bit generous and wait until after the Cubs are born before we talk about it!"

After he finished speaking, he saw that everyone was staring at him without a word.

His eyes darted around nervously.

He had originally wanted to give himself a way out, but... surely no one would care about his feelings!

Tang Ruan let go of Yan Qing and walked up to Hu Che.

She suddenly threw herself into his arms.

"I knew it, Hu Che is the best!"

These past few days, everyone had been worried about the eggs.

She had indeed overlooked the fact that she had once promised Hu Che she would go to Dragon Valley with him after the eggs were born.

Even if she remembered it occasionally, it was only a fleeting thought.

Her whole heart and mind had been focused on the eggs.

But Hu Che must have cared a lot.

He had originally met her earlier than Yan Qing, yet he had been placed behind him.

She had promised to give birth to little fox Cubs for him first, yet she had conceived snake eggs first.

Now, even the promise to compensate him by living in Dragon Valley for half a year had to be postponed.

Other Beast Husbands would be jealous and might even come to blows.

But Hu Che always managed to coax himself back into a good mood...

Tang Ruan felt guilty toward Hu Che and held him a bit tighter.

Hu Che curled his lips upward smugly.

"You don't have to think I'm too good! Otherwise, I'll get arrogant!" he said happily.

A few months later, two Cubs successfully hatched from the eggs.

Although Yan Qing had performed the incubation according to the temperature for female Cubs.

But after the judgment of a group of experienced Witch Doctors, they reached a conclusion—

"This is one female Cub and one male Cub."

Yan Qing said in shock, "Are you sure?"

Cubs of the Snake Tribe generally need to be around three years old before their gender can be determined with one hundred percent certainty.

The Old Witch Doctor stroked his beard, which had already grown as long as it was before, and said confidently, "Over these years, we have made great progress in judging the gender of Snake Tribe Cubs."

"Beast King, please rest assured!"

In no time, the news that the Beast King's first egg had hatched two Cubs of different genders spread like wildfire.

Even setting aside his status and race, this was a very rare occurrence.

The entire Beast World was talking about this matter with great interest.

When Tang Ruan and Lang Lie walked on the street, they could hear the beastmen's heated discussions everywhere.

Passerby A: "Two Cubs hatched from one of the Beast King's eggs. This is the Beast God showing his power; it's the Beast God's recognition of the Beast King!"

Passerby B: "Exactly! The Goddess is also amazing. If her Beast Husbands weren't so formidable, I would want to be her Beast Husband too."

Passerby A: "You? Keep your voice down! If this reaches the ears of the Goddess's Beast Husbands, watch out for your life!"

Passerby B rolled his eyes at Passerby A: "May the Beast God bless me to meet the Goddess today, and may the Goddess fall in love with me at first sight."

Passerby C: "That... actually, the Beast God is also the Goddess's Beast Husband, have you all forgotten?"

Everyone: ..."

That's true!

How could the Beast God bless his own Mistress to take a fancy to another male?

"Move aside!"

The three were in the middle of a heated chat.

A powerful voice suddenly came from behind them.

The three turned around at the same time and saw a tall Male Beastman with his eyes slightly lowered.

His sharp, ice-blue eyes swept over them.

In an instant, they felt as if they were rooted to the spot.

Fortunately, the beautiful Female Beastman beside him reminded them, "Please excuse us, we need to pass through here."

Only then did the three snap out of it and immediately made a path.

As the two figures ahead gradually moved away...

Passerby A finally reacted: "That female seemed to be the Goddess!"

Passerby B said tremblingly, "Then who was the one beside her? Was it the Beast God?"

"Am I going to die?"

"Waaaah... Mama, I don't want this!"

Tang Ruan heard the commotion behind her and subconsciously wanted to turn back to look.

Lang Lie calmly extended his large hand, blocking the side of her face.

When Tang Ruan turned her head, she bumped into his thick palm.

She looked up and saw Lang Lie's somewhat indignant gaze.

"You... even they dare to lust after you!"

Tang Ruan: ..."

Tang Ruan turned her head back.

She wouldn't look, to avoid hurting the innocent.

Tang Ruan had come out with Lang Lie to buy things; she hadn't left the Beast King Palace for many days.

Along the way, the two browsed and stopped, buying whatever they liked.

According to Lang Lie's own description, half of his space was now snowfields and half was grasslands.

The area was very vast, containing all four seasons, making it suitable for putting anything inside.

So, no matter what Tang Ruan bought, it was appropriate to put it in his space.

As for Tang Ruan's own space, although some of it had returned as her Supernatural Ability gradually recovered.

Because the space was too small, it was still a cluttered mess inside.

Suddenly, Tang Ruan saw a stall selling accessories in the distance.

She dashed over like a puff of smoke.

Even though she already had many shiny things, she still had no resistance to anything sparkling.

After picking and choosing, Tang Ruan took a fancy to a ring.

The ring was thick and set with a circle of sea-blue gems; it should be for a male to wear.

"Boss, how many crystals for this? I want this one."

Having obtained the ring, Tang Ruan happily held it up against the sunlight to look.

It really looked like the color of the ocean.

"Bought it for Heng Zhou?" Lang Lie suddenly asked.

Tang Ruan's movements paused, and she looked at him, afraid he would be jealous.

But she heard Lang Lie say, "We all have things you've given us, only he doesn't."

"Though he doesn't say it, I've seen him staring at the ring on my hand several times."

"I naturally thought of the fact that you gave it to me."

"Then, his expression would become very unsightly."

As he spoke, he used his other hand to twist the ring on his finger; this had already become a subconscious action for him.

Tang Ruan: ..."

Sometimes being able to read minds is really a burden.

Tang Ruan casually put the ring into her space.

Just as she put it in, she immediately took it out.

Her space was too messy, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to find it after putting it in.

Fortunately, before the last space collapse, she had taken out all her important things.

They should now be stored in Fen Tian's space—

"Fen Tian's space!"

Tang Ruan suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She remembered him saying that there were only volcanoes and monsters in his space.

Then her things... were they still there?

Tang Ruan quickened her pace and walked toward the Beast King Palace.

Lang Lie caught up to her in two or three steps.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Ruan: "I thought of something very important."

"Get on!"

Before Lang Lie's voice had even faded, he had already transformed into a giant silver-gray wolf.

The size was just right for Tang Ruan to ride.

Tang Ruan knew that with his current Energy, he could have become even larger.

Lang Lie was as considerate as always.

He lowered his head, and Tang Ruan climbed up with ease.

In the blink of an eye, the two had returned to the Beast King Palace.

Fen Tian was in the courtyard teasing Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi's eggshell had recently cracked, but because it was too sturdy, he couldn't come out for the time being.

Tang Ruan had pried at the crack to look inside and met a pair of incredibly adorable large red eyes.

"Fen Tian, the things of mine you put in your space last time... are they still there?" Tang Ruan asked anxiously.

Fen Tian looked at her and nodded.

"Take them out quickly!"

"Okay."

Fen Tian immediately opened a Barrier over a spacious area.

Tang Ruan's things came tumbling out with a "whoosh."

They quickly piled up into a small mountain.

Tang Ruan: What a familiar storage style.

But with everything here, she was relieved.

Tang Ruan was just about to go check her things.

Suddenly, Lang Lie shouted, "Watch out!"

At the same time, he reached out and pulled her behind him.

Xiao Yi also rushed in front of her.

One red and one blue Barrier unfolded in front of Tang Ruan.

Fen Tian looked at them—

He seemed not to have seen the giant black claw stretching out from the spatial opening.

He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
