341: Chapter 17 "My name is Tang Longyan."

Hearing Tang Longyan's voice, Yun Tiankai was stunned in place for a moment.

When she communicated with the little system, she usually wouldn't speak out loud.

Yet this time, she had only said two sentences before Tang Longyan actually heard her.

Yun Tiankai looked at Tang Longyan's inquisitive gaze and scratched her head, feeling the awkwardness of being caught "gossiping" about someone behind their back.

"You came down so quickly?" she tried to change the subject.

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Tang Longyan didn't press the issue.

But thinking of what she said just now— "Find me a few more like Tang Longyan."

And the tone she used when speaking...

It reminded him of the scenes from his childhood when he did something wrong, and Fifth Father would help him clean up the mess while saying helplessly, "Xiao Yi is really too capable."

She must have been speaking sarcastically.

So... was she blaming him for letting her come down the mountain alone instead of flying her down immediately?

This mountain path was indeed a bit long for ordinary beastmen.

But Yun Tiankai had spatial abilities, so he naturally assumed that as a High-level Beastman, Yun Tiankai's physical stamina should be fine.

He didn't expect—

Tang Longyan noticed the two flushes on her face and the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, so he reached out his hand toward her.

"I'll take you down."

Yun Tiankai reflexively wanted to place her hand in his palm, but upon thinking of his reaction not long ago, she retracted her hand that was halfway extended.

Tang Longyan visibly frowned this time, clenching his fist as he withdrew his hand.

He had to admit that he was a bit bothered by her "differential treatment."

She was already used to holding the hands of other Male Beastmen, so why couldn't she hold his?

Tang Longyan, who was sulking alone, suddenly noticed that Yun Tiankai had voluntarily turned back into a little fox.

She straightened her upper body, extended her front paws like a little bear, and waited for Tang Longyan to pick her up.

Her fluffy appearance was indescribably cute.

Tang Longyan, who had been sulking, was instantly amused by her.

Who on earth created the fox beastmen?

They are just too cute!

Tang Longyan bent down and naturally scooped Yun Tiankai into his arms.

Yun Tiankai also immediately found her designated spot.

After she settled down in Tang Longyan's arms, she remembered that she hadn't told him where she wanted to go yet.

So, she raised her head from Tang Longyan's arms and signaled to him with her eyes—she still had something to say, so he should put her down first.

But clearly, Tang Longyan couldn't understand just the fox's "whimpering" sounds.

So she patted Tang Longyan's chest twice with her little paw, then pointed to the ground.

Tang Longyan looked at her and tilted his head in confusion.

A lock of hair on his forehead brushed past his brow.

Yun Tiankai: ...

As a big Male Beastman, how did he manage to make such an adorable expression?

Seeing that Tang Longyan didn't understand, Yun Tiankai decided to jump down and transform into her human form to explain it to him.

Just as she was about to jump down from Tang Longyan's arms, a large hand suddenly landed on top of her head—

Stopping her action.

He still remembered the terrified expression she had last time when she almost fell off him to the ground.

He breathed a sigh of relief and, as if possessed, gently rubbed her little head with his thumb.

In an instant, Yun Tiankai felt a jolt of electricity rush straight to her brain stem.

She squinted her eyes in comfort, completely forgetting to manage her expression, and even instinctively rubbed her face against Tang Longyan's warm palm.

It wasn't until Tang Longyan's middle and ring fingers moved to her chin and began to scratch gently that both of them realized what they were doing.

Yun Tiankai: ...

Yun Tiankai was filled with regret.

She didn't need a mirror to imagine what her expression must have looked like just now—how completely undignified it was.

She finally understood why kittens and puppies loved being petted by their owners.

The feeling was simply too enjoyable, even more comfortable than the top-tier massages she had received before.

And Tang Longyan was also so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, so he simply covered her eyes with his large hand.

His hand was very large, almost able to cover Yun Tiankai's entire little head.

Thus, Yun Tiankai was manually "ostrich-ified" by him and stuffed back into the crook of his arm.

Yun Tiankai: ...

Tang Longyan spread his wings and quickly flew her to the top of the highest peak on the Barren Continent.

He placed Yun Tiankai on the ground, and Yun Tiankai awkwardly ran forward a few steps before transforming into her human form.

Her figure suddenly grew taller, and upon abruptly seeing the scene below the mountain peak, she couldn't help but take two steps back.

Yun Tiankai looked around and discovered that they were now located on the highest peak of the Barren Continent.

From here, not only could she overlook the entire Barren Continent, but she could also see the surrounding situation.

In other words, she had now activated "map mode."

She immediately and excitedly exchanged for paper and a pen from her space and began to roughly draw a map.

Actually, she had originally wanted to exchange for a camera, but considering that Tang Longyan, this "ancient beastman," might mistake the camera for a demon that steals souls, she gave up on that idea.

Tang Longyan watched her writing and drawing on the paper, feeling somewhat surprised.

Paper had been produced years ago by the beastmen of the Beaver Tribe, who had researched it for a long time based on his mother's notes.

He didn't expect the White Fox Tribe to actually possess such fine paper.

And the pen in her hand was completely different from the ones they usually used, which were made of wood and charcoal.

Had the White Fox Tribe actually become this advanced?

Or was it that... she and the White Fox Tribe he imagined didn't come from the same branch?

Tang Longyan felt it was necessary to take some time to return to the Beast Kingdom and inform his Fourth Father about the situation with the White Fox Tribe.

Yun Tiankai noticed Tang Longyan's gaze and assumed he was curious about the things in her hand.

While hurriedly writing and drawing, she took a moment to glance at Tang Longyan.

She said apologetically: "Could you please wait for me for a moment?

I have something very important to do, and I will explain it to you later."

Tang Longyan nodded, his expression looking somewhat strange.

After Yun Tiankai finished drawing the map, she walked up to him and said: "This is paper, and this is a pen.

You can use them to write on it."

Tang Longyan: ...

It was that tone of voice again, the one used when talking to a Cub.

However, he didn't hate it.

"Do you know what writing is?" Yun Tiankai asked, then continued on her own, "Writing can record the words we speak.

For example, my name is Yun Tiankai."

Yun Tiankai flipped the paper to the back, wrote the three characters "Yun Tiankai," and then, like teaching a kindergarten child, read them to him one character at a time:

"Yun, is the clouds in the sky;

Tian, is the sky;

Kai, is the Kai from happy.

Yun Tiankai, it means happy every day."

"Happy every day?" Tang Longyan repeated, and his mood couldn't help but become cheerful.

"My name is Tang Longyan," Tang Longyan said.

Just when Yun Tiankai thought he was asking her how to write his name—

She saw him take the pen very naturally, and under the three characters "Yun Tiankai," he wrote—

The three large characters "Tang Longyan."
