38: Chapter 38 The Child Disappears

"Tang Ruan!"

Everyone rushed forward.

Lang Lie pulled Tang Ruan into his arms.

Potato Mother grabbed her hand.

Suddenly, she noticed a pale red ring around Tang Ruan's Beast Husband Mark.

She rubbed it with her hand, confirming it again and again.

"Lang Lie!" Potato Mother exclaimed in surprise, "Your Mistress is pregnant with a Baby!"

I'm pregnant with a Baby?

Tang Ruan felt groggy, feeling as if something was pressing down on her, preventing her from getting up.

It was as if a hand was covering her eyelids, forcing her to keep her eyes closed...

Inside the cave.

Lang Lie held Tang Ruan's hand tightly.

A stream of Energy flowed from his hand into her limbs and body.

The force pressing on her body also became warm.

Only, it seemed... even heavier...

"Lang Lie, don't give her any more Energy.

If the Baby wants the mother to rest.

The more Energy you give, the more he can control Tang Ruan's actions."

Lang Lie's hand suddenly loosened.

"How can this be?"

Potato Mother looked around.

Confirming that only the three of them were in the cave.

She asked, "What kind of Beastmen are your parents?"

Lang Lie turned to look at Potato Mother.

"Does that have anything to do with this?"

Potato Mother didn't press for an answer, but continued, "If one of your parents is an extremely powerful Beastman.

Your Baby might inherit their Beast Form and Supernatural Ability..."

Lang Lie thought of his father.

He was the most powerful Beastman Lang Lie had ever seen to this day.

Both his Supernatural Ability and Beast Form could be described as terrifying.

"If your Baby is too powerful, Tang Ruan might not be able to control him."

"What would happen then?" Lang Lie asked anxiously.

Potato Mother walked up to Tang Ruan and looked at her affectionately.

"The Baby has an innate survival instinct; he will do everything in his power to absorb the mother's Energy to ensure he is born successfully.

Female beasts also have an instinct to protect themselves; when their health is poor, or they don't want the Baby, the Baby will be absorbed.

However, when the Baby is far more powerful than the mother.

The female beast cannot control whether the Baby stays or goes..."

To be born successfully, the Baby might drain the mother of her last bit of Energy.

Of course, Potato Mother didn't say the rest.

But Lang Lie should be able to guess it.

One could tell from the incident with Mu Shu.

He didn't allow Tang Ruan to waste Energy on others.

"He might kill Tang Ruan to be born." Horror appeared in Lang Lie's eyes.

This was the first time Potato Mother had seen such an expression on his face.

She nodded.

"Perhaps such a situation exists, but I have never seen it."

Lang Lie took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.

He had been very happy when he first learned that Tang Ruan was pregnant.

But only a moment had passed.

He was already thinking about how to kill this Baby.

"Is there any medicine that can kill the Baby?"

"This—"

"Lang Lie!" Tang Ruan felt the force on her body tremble.

She seized the opportunity and sat up on the bed in one breath.

"Tang Ruan! How are you feeling?" Lang Lie stroked her face excitedly.

"I feel very energetic, I had a good sleep."

Lang Lie: ...

She had heard everything they said.

She didn't think the Baby was harming her.

On the contrary, she felt he was a filial Baby.

He didn't allow her to be tired; he just wanted her to rest well.

How sensible...

"I haven't slept this soundly in many days," Tang Ruan stretched and added exaggeratedly.

She glanced at her lower abdomen.

There was a pale blue light on her lower abdomen.

It was flickering, as if it were greeting her.

"Tang Ruan, absorb him!

We don't need a Baby; I won't allow you to suffer any harm!"

Lang Lie gripped Tang Ruan's shoulders, his tone firm.

That light suddenly disappeared.

Just when Tang Ruan was worried.

It appeared again.

It flashed and slowly burrowed into her stomach.

As if telling her, "I'm here, I'm okay."

Tang Ruan was stunned.

She suddenly realized the reason she hadn't noticed the pregnancy for so many days.

It was actually—the Baby is afraid of his father!

He could even turn invisible; he was amazing!

A sense of pride from an old mother made Tang Ruan pout her lips.

"Tang Ruan... you... what's wrong?

Why are you smiling so happily?"

Lang Lie asked, puzzled.

Tang Ruan: "Lang Lie, don't you think our Baby is super Alpha!"

Lang Lie: ...

"What is that?"

---

In the forest, under a big tree.

Tang Ruan drew a snake, a sheep, and an earthworm on the ground.

"Baby, although you are only three months old, from today on, Mommy is going to give you prenatal education.

We are going to be a super Alpha Beastman who wins at the starting line."

Tang Ruan's belly flashed.

"Good!

First question, please choose which one is the snake from the following three patterns."

The blue light quickly stopped on the right side—the position of the earthworm.

"Hmm?" Tang Ruan dragged out the sound.

The blue light immediately flashed to the left in a flash.

Tang Ruan gave a thumbs up, "Very good! Remember that snakes have little fangs.

Earthworms don't.

After you are born, don't play with snakes."

The blue light flashed, as if agreeing.

Potato Mother watched this scene from afar and said with relief, "Look, Tang Ruan really likes this Baby.

Why don't you keep him?"

Lang Lie reached out, took a bag of things from Potato Mother's hand, and put it into his storage space.

"I'll see."

"Sigh..."

Potato Mother turned and left.

Tang Ruan suddenly turned her head and saw Lang Lie.

She ran towards him excitedly.

After running a few steps, she remembered she was a pregnant woman and switched to walking quickly.

She came to Lang Lie and said excitedly, "Lang Lie, our Baby is a genius.

He can understand what I say.

At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but I just taught him that one plus one equals two."

Lang Lie: ...

Seeing that Lang Lie didn't have much of a reaction.

Tang Ruan gently patted her belly.

"Baby, perform for your father, one plus one equals..."

Her belly flashed twice.

"Look, look, look!" Tang Ruan was incredibly excited.

Whose three-month-old fetus can play one plus one equals two with their mother!

Seeing Lang Lie smile without saying anything.

Tang Ruan suddenly remembered that only she could see the various auras on Beastmen.

Would Lang Lie be jealous of her?

She said generously, "If you have anything you want to say to the Baby, I can pass it on for you!"

"Okay."

She didn't expect him to actually have something in mind.

Lang Lie had a cold face.

Staring at Tang Ruan's belly.

As if staring at prey.

The blue ball of light only dared to reveal a tiny halo.

Tang Ruan: ...

"Do you want to come into this world?"

The blue light flashed once.

Tang Ruan said with a giggle, "He said 'Yes'."

"Second question," Lang Lie continued, "Do you want us to be your parents?"

The blue light flashed again.

Tang Ruan: "Lang Lie, ask something useful.

He is our Baby, how could he not want us to be your parents?"

"Okay, last question."

Lang Lie's eyes gradually turned cold.

"If one day, your existence threatens your mother's health, or even her life.

Will you voluntarily be absorbed for her sake?"
