338: Chapter 14 Could it be that he really treats her like a pet?

Yun Tiankai suddenly raised her head, meeting his lowered gaze.

Then, she reached out one of her little paws towards him.

The moment her slightly warm little paw pad landed in Tang Longyan's palm,

he felt his entire heart melt along with it.

However, the next second—

"Rip..."

Another sound came.

Her other little paw tore an even longer rip in Tang Longyan's pants...

She fell from his leg.

Yun Tiankai: ...

What kind of quality are these pants, anyway!

She flailed her two little paws in mid-air.

His legs were so long; with her current height, what was the difference between falling from here and falling from the third floor!

However, the expected pain did not come.

At the critical moment, Tang Longyan caught Yun Tiankai.

He placed his hands under her arms and lifted her up in front of him.

Yun Tiankai widened her big eyes, looking at him, still somewhat shaken.

"Don't be afraid..." he said, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Then, he placed her into the crook of his arm.

Yun Tiankai whimpered, instinctively burrowing into the crook of his arm; his embrace made her feel very safe.

Once her wildly beating heart finally calmed down,

she realized belatedly—

What was she doing!

How was her behavior just now any different from a pet!

And that look in his eyes just now.

Could it be that he really treated her like a pet!

When they returned to the gathering place, it was already dark.

As soon as Tang Longyan put her down on the ground, Yun Tiankai quickly ran towards the room.

After running into the room, she remembered—

The thing she promised Zhu Zhu; she had forgotten to do it for her!

Fortunately, the Beastmen in the gathering place all slept very early.

Plus, Zhu Zhu did not live in the same room as her.

Yun Tiankai thought she would find a way to go out tomorrow.

It was just that she didn't know much about the Barren Continent, and finding Zhu Zhu's Beast Husband, She Lin, would likely be very difficult.

She might have to trouble Tang Longyan again.

But she had already troubled him quite a bit these past few days.

She couldn't just keep asking him for unconditional help.

Yun Tiankai thought about this as she drifted into a daze and fell asleep.

Waking up the next day, she saw Tang Longyan delivering several newly hunted animals to the gathering place.

A thought struck her, and she immediately exchanged for a charcoal stove from the system.

After receiving her portion of meat, this time Yun Tiankai did not put the meat directly into the system to sell.

Instead, she set up the small charcoal stove near the Beastmen and started roasting the meat.

The aroma soon drifted to the Beastmen who were eating meat.

"Yun Tiankai, what are you doing? It smells so good!" Bao Yang led several Female Beastmen over, twitching their noses and sniffing the air.

"I'm roasting meat!" Yun Tiankai answered, holding a fan and fanning the fire.

"So this is roasted meat!" A wolf-Tribe Female Beastman named Ya Jianjian exclaimed, "I heard that the Beastmen of the Beast Kingdom all eat this!"

"Beast Kingdom?" Yun Tiankai asked in confusion.

It turned out that this Beast World not only had roasted meat, but also a Beast Kingdom.

"Yes!" Bao Yang replied, "Lord Longyan is from the Beast Kingdom."

"Then he is—" Yun Tiankai deliberately dragged out her voice, waiting for someone in the know to speak.

When she first arrived here, the Female Beastmen had told her that Tang Longyan came here with a mission.

At the time, she thought the mission he accepted was from some Tribe.

She hadn't expected this Beast World to be so advanced.

However, upon careful reflection, it wasn't hard to tell. His clothing was indeed different from the Beastmen of the Barren Continent.

Including those pants that she tore up yesterday.

Yun Tiankai: ...

"It seems he's a prince!" A Female Beastman picked up where Yun Tiankai left off.

"Cough, cough!"

Yun Tiankai was choked by the smoke and started coughing repeatedly.

It took her a long while to find her voice again.

"He is a prince from the Beast Kingdom?"

"Sort of!" Bao Yang replied, "He once told us that he came here on the orders of his Fourth Father—the Beast King.

Which means his mother's fourth Beast Husband is the Beast King.

But his biological father is not the Beast King, so he can't really be considered a prince.

If he were really a prince, would he be sent to this godforsaken place?"

As Bao Yang spoke, her eyes were glued to Yun Tiankai's roasting stove.

Yun Tiankai used long chopsticks to pick up a piece of roasted meat, placed it on a leaf, and handed it to Bao Yang.

As soon as Bao Yang took it, she swallowed it.

She was burned and kept panting, but couldn't bear to spit it out.

"Spit it out, spit it out quickly!" Yun Tiankai urged anxiously.

Bao Yang chewed twice and swallowed it.

Yun Tiankai: ...

Bao Yang opened her large brown eyes and looked at Yun Tiankai with a touched expression.

Yun Tiankai: What kind of expression is this that rivals Little Master Chef!

"Nickname, it's so delicious!" Bao Yang grasped Yun Tiankai's shoulders.

Yun Tiankai: Food really is a shortcut to promoting friendship; she already had her own Nickname so quickly.

The other Female Beastmen also began their eye attacks on Yun Tiankai.

Yun Tiankai didn't refuse anyone and distributed the roasted meat to them one by one.

They also shared their own pieces of meat with Yun Tiankai.

In the end, it evolved into everyone gathering together to eat roasted meat.

"Nickname, why does this meat taste different from animals burned to death by fire?" Ya Jianjian asked while chewing the meat.

She had encountered situations where the forest caught fire before.

"My Beast Husband brought back many burned animals for me to eat.

But those animals not only had no flavor, but also had a bitter taste."

Yun Tiankai quickly flipped the meat pieces over.

"It's different; it needs to be roasted just right—cooked through, but not burned.

And you also have to sprinkle this on..." She said, sprinkling a pinch of salt on it.

"Is this—Sea Crystal?" Auntie Hua asked suddenly.

Yun Tiankai looked at Auntie Hua.

Auntie Hua: "It seems they have it on the coast of the Barren Continent, but besides being salty, it's also a bit bitter..."

It was just the same color as Yun Tiankai's, but the taste was very different.

Yun Tiankai's eyes lit up; it turned out this place actually produced salt!

She wondered if the salt in the Beast World could fetch a good price.

"What are those two long things in your hand called?" Bao Yang's voice interrupted Yun Tiankai's train of thought.

"Chopsticks!" Yun Tiankai gestured, "They can be used to pick things up, and also when eating."

"How interesting," Bao Yang said, "Nickname, you must also be from the Beast Kingdom, right?"

Yun Tiankai thought about it.

She didn't seem to have the original owner's memories.

Or rather, she only possessed the memories of the previous transmigrator.

"When I saw Lord Longyan carry you back, your Beast Form was white.

We don't have pure white animals on the Barren Continent." Bao Yang said with a smile, winking her big eyes at her.

Yun Tiankai coughed dryly.

She had actually been seen after all.

"I... I don't remember, I have amnesia." She wasn't exactly lying.

"I see..." Bao Yang restrained her smile.

Auntie Hua suddenly walked over and hugged Yun Tiankai's shoulders, "Forgetting is a good thing for you."

Yun Tiankai didn't understand why.

It took her a long while to understand.

They had said that the Barren Continent was just a place of exile.

The Female Beastmen who came here were either because their families were destroyed and they refused to submit, so they were thrown here to fend for themselves.

Or—

In the crowd, a Female Beastman suddenly started crying.

Auntie Hua glanced at that Female Beastman and whispered, "Because she couldn't give birth, she was tricked onto this island by her only Beast Husband, who left her here alone."

Yun Tiankai frowned in shock.

No matter which Beast World novel she had read, they all told her that once a contract was established, a Beast Husband could not separate from the Mistress and could not betray the Mistress.

They had to unconditionally protect the Mistress and take care of the Mistress.

But what if— the Mistress died?
