59: Chapter 59 Yan Qing has entered into a contract!
Suddenly, an average-looking but very sturdy Male Beastman lunged out from behind that Female Beastman.
Tang Ruan hurriedly and obediently lowered her head, stepping aside.
Although she didn't know what was going on.
She knew that those who understand the times are wise.
In TV dramas, when eunuchs shout like that, they are usually just flaunting their master's authority.
The master would surely ignore it directly or say, "Never mind."
"Very well!"
Chi Ling propped up her chin with great interest.
"Such a beautiful pair of eyes must be very delicious."
Tang Ruan: !!!!
She's serious!
She... should she say something?
For example, "Queen, spare my life."
But she clearly hadn't done anything wrong!
Moreover, they were still at the entrance of Yan Qing's cave.
Isn't Yan Qing the Snake King?
There shouldn't be anyone in the Snake Tribe higher-ranking than him!
Tang Ruan bravely lifted her head.
"The Snake King sent me here."
"Oh? What did he send you here for?"
Chi Ling walked up to Tang Ruan, and She Ming tried to block her.
A red whip suddenly appeared out of thin air in her hand, and with one lash, she sent She Ming tumbling to the ground.
"She Ming!" Tang Ruan cried out.
Chi Ling took a step forward.
She used the red whip to lift Tang Ruan's chin.
She was over ten centimeters taller than Tang Ruan.
Her overbearing aura so terrified Tang Ruan that the words "Queen, spare my life" got stuck in her throat.
"Such a beautiful face should be torn apart."
Tang Ruan: !!!
"What are you holding in your hands?"
"A hatched female snake..."
"A female snake? A snake Cub?" Chi Ling seemed to be suddenly triggered by something.
She raised her whip and lashed out at Tang Ruan.
Tang Ruan closed her eyes.
It's over, I'm really going to die this time.
The swinging whip was caught by a large hand.
A burst of blue-and-red Supernatural Ability collided with the red Supernatural Ability on the whip.
The two fires clashed against each other.
"Ah!"
Chi Ling was the first to let go.
Her palm was burned by Yan Qing's Supernatural Ability, and she retreated several steps.
Immediately, seven or eight male beastmen swarmed forward.
"Mistress!
Mistress, are you alright?"
Chi Ling's Beast Husbands glared viciously at Tang Ruan.
Encountering Yan Qing's warning gaze, they all hurriedly lowered their heads.
Yan Qing put his arm around Tang Ruan's shoulder and walked into the cave.
Chi Ling's screams came from behind them.
"Yan Qing! Can she bear you Cubs?
Haha! There is no Female Beastman in this world who can bear your Cubs!
Little female! If you can't bear Fire Snake Clan Cubs, it's impossible for him to recognize you as his Mistress!
The Fire Snake Clan! They will perish sooner or later!
Hahahaha!"
Chi Ling's laughter sounded like it came from hell.
Tang Ruan tightly hugged the jar in her arms.
She hadn't known before that Yan Qing had such a crazy pursuer.
The problem was, her strength seemed to be really formidable...
Tang Ruan placed the jar in front of him.
She quickly explained her purpose: "I've already determined the incubation temperature..."
"You don't need to be afraid, I will protect you."
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Tang Ruan looked up, subconsciously looking into Yan Qing's eyes.
But she saw that he wasn't looking at her.
Instead, he had his head lowered, lost in thought.
"I... I understand."
Tang Ruan explained her plan to him again.
When she came out of the cave, she found She Ming sitting on a large rock.
From his left shoulder to his elbow, a whip mark left his flesh mangled and bloody.
"Why didn't you go see the Witch Doctor!" Tang Ruan said in surprise.
She Ming rolled his eyes with a look that said, "Are you stupid?"
"Looking for that talkative old man isn't nearly as convenient as looking for you.
Hurry up, use your Supernatural Ability to stop the pain for me, I'm dying of pain."
Tang Ruan walked over and carefully helped him up: "Let's go to my cave first!
But there's one thing I have to let you know first."
"What is it?" She Ming grimaced in pain.
"My Supernatural Ability can heal wounds, but it can't stop pain."
She Ming: ...
---
Tang Ruan helped She Ming apply medicine while Hu Che assisted from the side.
"Stay away from that crazy female in the future," She Ming reminded Tang Ruan while hissing in pain.
"What crazy female?" Hu Che asked.
She Ming recounted what had just happened.
Hu Che's face remained calm, but his hands clenched at his sides.
She Ming patted him.
"Hey! Don't you go provoking her either.
Whenever she sees anyone getting close to the Snake King, whether they're female or male, she goes crazy."
"Why?" Hu Che asked.
"This matter isn't actually much of a secret.
In fact, the entire Snake Tribe knows...
Chi Ling and the Snake King failed their Binding Ceremony."
"Yan Qing once attempted a Binding Ceremony!"
Tang Ruan stood up.
Then wouldn't what happened between her and him in the dream be an extramarital affair!!!
"Tang Ruan, what are you so excited about?
Our Snake King didn't always like mal—"
Pah!
Anyway, the two of them didn't succeed in the binding.
So they didn't become mates."
"I... I see..."
Tang Ruan sat back down somewhat awkwardly.
The way Hu Che looked at her, however, became increasingly profound.
She Ming told them the whole story.
Yan Qing's mother passed away after giving birth to him.
The Old Snake King loved his Mistress dearly and originally intended to follow her in death.
But at the tribe's pleading, he reluctantly stayed.
However, from then on, he no longer cared about the Snake Tribe's affairs.
For hundreds of years, whenever there was a war, he would basically choose to simply give up.
Finally, he led the tribe to retreat to a place with a warm climate and lived a secluded life.
He didn't care for the Snake Tribe himself, but he placed all the tribe's hopes on Yan Qing.
He had two requirements for Yan Qing.
First, he must reclaim all the lands the Snake Tribe had lost.
Second, he must find a female from the Fire Snake Clan to be his mate.
Because other clans were not worthy of the Fire Snake Clan's noble bloodline and could not produce Cubs.
Little Yan Qing was brainwashed with these two major goals from the moment he could crawl.
He studied day and night.
For over two hundred years, he had never left the Snake Tribe's territory...
"Yan Qing is already over two hundred years old?"
Tang Ruan interrupted him.
Didn't they say the lifespan of a beastman is around three hundred years?
Then wouldn't he be middle-aged or elderly!
Why did he look like a human in his twenties?
"The lifespan of the Fire Snake Clan is much longer than that of us ordinary beastmen.
The Old Snake King lived for 900 years!" She Ming said proudly.
Tang Ruan: So Yan Qing's life is that long...
But studying for two hundred years must be quite painful.
She Ming continued.
Then one day.
The Old Snake King brought back an egg.
He said it was the Mistress he had found for Yan Qing.
Yan Qing had been very obedient to his father since he was a child.
So he accepted it.
However, what hatched from the egg was not a female of the Fire Snake Clan.
But of the Red Bone Snake Clan.
That was a very terrifying kind of beastman; their Beast Forms were dozens of meters tall, with red bones growing on the outside of their bodies.
But the Old Snake King seemed to have known about this all along.
He said that although Chi Ling was not from the Fire Snake Clan.
She was strong enough that she would surely be able to conceive descendants for the Fire Snake Clan.
Thus, after Chi Ling reached adulthood, the two naturally held a Binding Ceremony.
However, when Chi Ling drank Yan Qing's heart's blood...
