308: Chapter 308 "It's not important anymore."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Tang Ruan instinctively stepped back a few paces.

But that person stood where he was, not moving.

"Mistress, why have you returned?"

Hu Che stood a few paces from the cave entrance, frowning slightly as he asked her.

Tang Ruan: This sentence did not appear in the dream...

She instinctively took another step back.

Feeling terrified of this incredibly unfamiliar Hu Che before her.

"I'm suddenly a bit tired and don't want to go out anymore."

She wanted to go around him and walk back into the cave.

But he raised his hand and blocked her.

"Then how about I accompany the Mistress to the forest to sit for a while and relax?"

Tang Ruan turned her head and glared at him.

Was he trying to stop her from changing the original "plot"?

Tang Ruan lifted her chin slightly.

"Can't you understand? I said I want to rest."

"But..."

"How dare you disobey the Mistress's words!" Tang Ruan suddenly shouted.

Hu Che was slightly stunned.

It seemed he hadn't expected her to suddenly flare up.

Tang Ruan took the opportunity to go around him and walk into the cave.

But unexpectedly, he was faster; in the blink of an eye, he flashed in front of her, blocking her path again.

Tang Ruan's heart jolted violently.

She looked up at him.

By now, she could be one hundred percent certain that the person before her—was absolutely not Hu Che.

His face suddenly became distorted...

But it only lasted for an instant before returning to normal, making her almost think she had hallucinated or that the dream had twisted.

If—she hadn't been cursed by Heng Zhou.

She definitely wouldn't have discovered that she was being controlled by the person before her using a spell.

[Look into my eyes. I am your Beast Husband Hu Che. You must listen to me... Go to the forest...]

She heard a voice in her mind, as if from a distant place, continuously implanting thoughts into her.

Tang Ruan: She should leave here.

No! She couldn't leave.

She had to listen to him...

No! He was absolutely not Hu Che, and this wasn't a dream either.

Tang Ruan suddenly raised her hand and swung at the person in front of her.

The voice in her mind stopped abruptly.

A one-inch-long gash was cut across Hu Che's face.

Tang Ruan gripped the knife in her hand, staring at him without blinking.

Watching the skin on the side of his face peel open, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out.

Just like a clay doll that had been cut with a knife.

"Who are you!" Tang Ruan glared at him fiercely.

Regardless of whether it was a dream or reality.

Regardless of whether the thing in front of her was human or ghost.

First and foremost, she couldn't lose in terms of momentum.

Hu Che's eyeballs shifted toward the injured area.

The wound was on the side of his face; logically, he shouldn't be able to see his own face.

But as his eyeballs rolled, only the whites of his eyes remained in Hu Che's eye sockets.

Two round, rolling things wriggled rapidly under his skin... finally stopping above the wound.

The skin split open, bulging out two eyeballs that took a look at the wound.

Tang Ruan clenched her fists: Damn! It's really not human!

So this isn't a dream either?

"You guessed correctly, elder sister..."

Hu Che's voice came from above her head.

Tang Ruan subconsciously looked up at him.

His wound had already healed, and his eyeballs had returned to their original positions.

As if everything just now had been her hallucination.

"You can read minds?" Tang Ruan exclaimed.

Hu Che: "How can you, elder sister, not understand me at all."

Tang Ruan: Elder sister?

Why did this monster want to call her elder sister?

"You are not Hu Che, who are you?"

The monster saw Tang Ruan's tense expression.

And couldn't help but proudly lift its head.

"Why don't you guess, elder sister—"

The monster's voice stopped abruptly.

Tang Ruan had already run quickly to the cave entrance.

Running while shouting: "Fen Tian! Fen—"

"Silence! Stop moving!"

As the monster's command fell.

Tang Ruan was suddenly frozen in place, unable to move another step.

And unable to make any sound.

[Why do you have Heng Zhou's Supernatural Ability?]

Tang Ruan asked in her heart; she knew he must be able to hear her.

He had just used Heng Zhou's Supernatural Ability.

The monster did not answer this question.

Just as Tang Ruan felt strange, a circle of waist-high ice spikes suddenly emerged from beside her feet.

Like sharp swords, surrounding her.

Tang Ruan: !!

This is Lang Lie's Supernatural Ability!

"That's right!" the monster said proudly.

Immediately after, a circle of flames ignited outside the ice spikes.

Tang Ruan: This is Fen Tian's Supernatural Ability.

The flames burned the ice spikes, and the scalding steam scorched the back of Tang Ruan's hand.

"Ah!"

Tang Ruan suddenly discovered that she could speak and move again.

Disregarding her hand scorched by the steam, she squeezed through the gaps in the melting ice spikes, jumped out of the ring of fire, and ran to the cave entrance.

She bumped into a Barrier.

She tried to blast it a few times with her Supernatural Ability, but the Barrier remained motionless.

With such a sturdy Barrier, surely the outside world couldn't hear the sounds inside the cave.

She couldn't get out.

She could only wait for Fen Tian to discover her...

"He won't be able to discover you."

The monster suddenly said in Hu Che's tone.

Before Tang Ruan could ask—

He continued to speak to himself: "Brother Fen Tian went to Central City to buy things for Xiao Yi.

I turned into elder sister's appearance and sent elder sister's useless Beast Husband away."

Tang Ruan listened to him saying "brother" and "sister" repeatedly, his tone full of mockery.

She suddenly turned around angrily, "Who exactly are you?

Who is your brother! Who is your sister!

Don't call me that so disgustingly!"

The monster: ...

The monster was stunned.

Tang Ruan actually saw a trace of disappointment on his face.

He suddenly laughed at himself.

Muttering to himself: "That's right.

The Beast God doesn't treat me as a beastman.

You have never treated me as a person either.

In your eyes, I have always been a monster."

He widened his eyes, staring straight at Tang Ruan.

His expression gradually turned ferocious...

Tang Ruan's eyes flickered, her brain spinning rapidly: Beast God? The Beast God he mentioned shouldn't be Fen Tian; does he know the Former Beast God?

"You are Huan Du," Tang Ruan said.

It wasn't a question, but a one-hundred-percent certain answer.

In this world, only one beastman possesses super-strong mimicry abilities.

Even being able to mimic one-third of Supernatural Abilities.

That person is the Former Beast God's fifth servant—Huan Du.

After the Former Beast God determined that the four of them were uncontrollable "failed products."

He created the fifth one, a servant used to eliminate them—Huan Du.

However, the Former Beast God failed.

Huan Du could not accurately accept the Former Beast God's instructions; he was like a monster with extremely low intelligence.

Just after the Former Beast God dressed him and led him in front of the four of them.

He instantly turned into a puddle of water and disappeared.

But it was precisely because the creation of Huan Du failed that the Former Beast God had to continue using the four of them...

Giving them time to find—the method to kill him.

But hadn't Huan Du already merged with Princess Jiao Yi and been blown up along with Beast God Mountain?

Huan Du: "The Former Beast God didn't tell you, elder sister, that I am very hard to kill.

Even if only such a small piece is left...

He used his small fingernail to make an exaggerated gesture.

I still have a chance to be reborn."

Tang Ruan's breathing suddenly hitched.

He actually possesses the ability to be reborn!

A monster that possesses the ability to be reborn, and can mimic the appearance and Supernatural Abilities of anything!

Huan Du laughed again, his self-mockery mixed with ruthlessness.

Tang Ruan: He must think that they killed him on purpose.

Although, they were indeed on purpose.

However, they all thought he was a monster without thoughts.

Never knowing that he still had his own thoughts.

He looks like a real beastman this way.

Then they...

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Huan Du's voice interrupted Tang Ruan's train of thought.

He suddenly reached out, gripped Tang Ruan's neck, and lifted her up.

"Since none of you care about me.

Then I will also let you taste the feeling of being casually disposed of..."
