39: Chapter 39 features mythical beasts like the Qilin and dragons!

"Lang Lie, what nonsense are you spouting?" Tang Ruan suddenly gave him a push.

This was the first time she had ever laid a hand on him.

Although Tang Ruan's strength would not cause him any harm.

But in Lang Lie's eyes, an unspeakable sadness emerged.

For the sake of the Baby, she actually wanted to push him away.

Tang Ruan looked at her own hands.

What was wrong with her?

It was as if someone was controlling her hands, controlling her emotions.

Making her push Lang Lie away.

"Lang Lie..." Tang Ruan softened her tone, "Can you not always think of the worst?

Can you trust him, please?

No matter how powerful he is, he is still my Baby.

Since when would a Baby hurt its mother!"

She gently wrapped her arms around Lang Lie's waist.

Lang Lie took a deep breath and hugged Tang Ruan back.

"I'm sorry, I was too nervous."

"No, no, no! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you.

Does it hurt?"

She actually thought she could hurt him?

Lang Lie laughed.

"It hurts."

Tang Ruan: ...

"In my heart—it hurts to death."

He rubbed his chin against the top of her head.

"Mistress, there is actually something I haven't told you.

My mother was killed by my father."

As he spoke, he held her tighter, as if afraid she might be scared away.

"My father was a very powerful beastman, but he was long abused by my mother.

Then one day, he couldn't control his Beast Form..."

Feeling Tang Ruan pushing him.

Lang Lie held her even tighter.

"Tang Ruan, are you afraid of me?

Do you want to leave me?

Are you afraid of the Baby in your belly?" Lang Lie murmured.

A huge fear engulfed him.

Like falling into a whirlpool, pain and anxiety dragged him down.

Tang Ruan couldn't break free.

Suddenly, she raised her head and took a bite on his chin.

Lang Lie: ...

Lang Lie lowered his eyes.

Tang Ruan said indignantly, "What are you worrying blindly about?"

"I..."

"Did I ever say I wanted to leave you?"

"No." Lang Lie answered obediently.

"Stretch your neck over here."

Lang Lie bent down and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Tang Ruan suddenly turned her head and took a bite on his neck.

Leaving a row of small tooth marks.

Lang Lie didn't move.

"Do you think I look like I'm afraid of you?" She said with a rather smug tone.

Only then did Lang Lie realize that he had just performed an extremely dangerous action.

He had offered his most vulnerable neck to a beastman, which was equivalent to handing his life over to her.

And, he had been bitten.

But when Tang Ruan asked him to do so, he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Moreover, she had actually exposed her most vulnerable nape to him as well.

She trusted him so much.

Lang Lie laughed, "Not afraid."

"Also, one last thing." Tang Ruan put on a straight face, "If you dare to scheme against my Baby again, don't blame him for not taking care of you when you get old."

Lang Lie: ...

After saying this, Tang Ruan proudly raised her head and walked away.

After just two steps.

She started negotiating with the Baby in her belly.

"I was joking, when your father has no teeth left, you absolutely cannot refuse to help him hunt."

Baby: ...

Lang Lie: ...

"Boss!"

Lang Feng appeared beside them at some unknown moment.

Lang Lie composed himself.

"How is it?"

"We have guarded the exit for three days, and so far we haven't seen any beastmen entering or leaving."

"What about outside?"

"Many beastmen have passed by in the distance.

Preliminary judgment is that they might be targeting Dongdong Valley.

They are also scouting us."

"Guard the exit well. If anyone comes in, kill them without mercy!"

The only safe exit of Dongdong Valley was a huge crevice between two mountains.

The crevice was hundreds of meters long and tens of meters deep. But there was only one spot that could just accommodate one beastman to enter or exit.

This meant that as long as they didn't go out.

The enemy could only come in one by one.

And be annihilated one by one...

"What about the stream side?"

"It is being guarded by us and the Marmot Tribe. So far, all we have found are corpses."

The cliff above the stream could also be used to enter Dongdong Valley.

That was where Tang Ruan had fallen from.

The beastmen outside should have discovered this long ago.

That was why beastmen were constantly being thrown down.

But it was clearly a path with nine deaths and one life.

So far, only Hu Mo had survived.

Hopefully, he would be able to take the "bad news" back.

"Boss, what if they keep throwing beastmen down?" Lang Feng said worriedly.

Finding corpses every day made everyone panic.

Especially on the Marmot Tribe side, several had already fainted from fear.

"It won't continue forever." Lang Lie looked towards the stream, "Hu Mo has already taken the message back.

But they might not trust this fox either.

That's why they will continue to probe for a while."

"Then what if we encounter a beastman who didn't die from the fall..."

"Kill them."

Lang Lie's icy eyes were cold and sharp.

A "lie" is best told by one person.

With two people, there will always be discrepancies.

As Lang Lie expected, a few days later, no more corpses fell down.

For several months in a row, Dongdong Valley returned to its former peace.

The Female Beastmen who had participated in the previous Binding Ceremony gave birth to Babies one after another.

Tu Dou also gave birth to a chubby, dark-skinned Baby.

Tang Ruan couldn't help but reach out and poke its face.

This texture—

Chocolate mochi!

"I thought you would give birth to many, so I prepared this for you."

Tang Ruan took out five small knitted blankets from her bag.

These were what she had made over these past few months, spinning the yarn herself, whittling the knitting needles herself, and knitting them herself.

Dongdong Valley was spring-like all year round; it was a bit cold at night without a cover, but hot with one.

These were just right.

Tu Dou took them with pleasant surprise and studied them for a while.

"It's okay, we can change one every day.

But you guessed right..."

A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"At first there were five, but because of my big brother's situation, my mood has not been very good.

This caused the Babies not to grow well, so I could only keep the strongest one."

Tang Ruan patted her shoulder.

"How is your big brother?"

Tu Dou sighed, "He still refuses to come out of the cave, saying that there are wild dogs outside the cave that will eat him.

He doesn't even think about finding his Mistress anymore."

Seeing that she was in low spirits.

Tang Ruan changed the subject.

"Tu Dou, you are amazing, you can actually sense how many Babies are in your belly!

And you can even distinguish their health condition!"

Tu Dou looked shocked: "You can't?"

Tang Ruan: ...

Should she be able to?

Tu Dou glanced at her belly.

It hadn't changed at all from three months ago.

She asked curiously: "Tang Ruan, I really want to know now, what exactly is your Beast Form?

Wolf pups don't need to be carried for this long, right?"

Tang Ruan wanted to know too.

Even if she were pregnant with a human, after six months, it should be showing.

Lang Lie said his father was a very powerful beastman.

She didn't know exactly what he was.

Could it be a divine beast like a Qilin or a dragon!

If the Baby has an atavism and looks like the grandfather, wouldn't she have to be pregnant for hundreds of years?

Tang Ruan suddenly felt that being alive was so hard; she had to find an opportunity to ask Lang Lie clearly.

"Tang Ruan!" Lang Lie strode into the cave.

Speak of the devil.

Hongshu followed closely behind, and upon entering, he started packing things up.

"What's wrong?" Tu Dou asked.

Noises came from outside the cave, sounding chaotic and panicked.

"They are here." Hongshu said nervously.

He shouldered his belongings.

Finally, he picked up Tu Dou, and Tu Dou held the Baby.

They ran out in a flash.

Lang Lie also transformed into his Beast Form.

Tang Ruan climbed onto his back.

"Who exactly is here?" She had a bad premonition.

"The beastmen from outside."

"Can't they not get in?" Tang Ruan was shocked.

"They can fly."
