63: Chapter 63 He took her hand and kissed her injured area.

"But I... I always listen to my big brother..."

Hu Che lowered his head.

For a moment, he was at a loss.

He had certainly thought about reviving the Red Fox Tribe with his own strength.

But he didn't know how to do it.

In the past, he only needed to listen to his brother and follow in his footsteps...

"If you don't know what to do..."

Chief Hu Xiao suddenly knelt on the ground and grabbed his hand.

"Then come with me and seek refuge with Lady Chi Ling!

The cities of the Snake Tribe are all managed by Lady Chi Ling.

She heavily relies on her Beast Husbands.

Every Beast Husband has his own city.

These cities...

One day, they can also become our own strength!"

"I..." Hu Che hesitated.

Even if they controlled two cities.

They couldn't possibly take them for themselves.

He had seen Yan Qing besiege a city.

In fact, the other members of the Snake Tribe were only responsible for cleaning up the aftermath.

He had the ability to sweep through an entire city all by himself.

If they were to serve the Snake Tribe, then betraying them would only lead to death.

However, it wasn't completely useless...

At least they could use the resources to regroup the Red Fox Tribe members scattered across various places.

Providing them with food and shelter.

"What are you hesitating for?

Is it because of that Female Beastman?"

Chief Hu Xiao gripped his hand tightly.

"Is she your Mistress?"

Hu Che didn't say anything.

Chief Hu Xiao had a look of frustration, as if disappointed he wasn't living up to his potential.

"How can a member of the Fox Tribe choose a Mistress so casually!

Have you forgotten? The Old Fox King grew strong by utilizing his Mistress!

Those few from the White Fox Tribe are the same now!

It's fine...

I'll find a way to force her to hand you over to Lady Chi Ling.

When the time comes, you just need to charm Lady Chi Ling..."

As Chief Hu Xiao spoke, he stood up to leave.

Hu Che grabbed him!

"You wouldn't dare!

Don't you dare touch a single hair on her head!"

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Chief Hu Xiao was stunned.

Was this still the submissive Little Prince in his memory?

He was actually disregarding the entire future of the Red Fox Tribe for a single Female Beastman.

Hu Che stared at him for a long while.

Suddenly, he let out a breath of relief.

"She isn't my Mistress.

We're just taking what we need from each other and pretending to be partners..."

"Is that so?"

Chief Hu Xiao beamed with joy.

"That's great!

I'll introduce you to Lady Chi Ling right now.

She really likes Male Beastmen from the Fox Tribe—"

Chief Hu Xiao was about to leave as he spoke, but Hu Che held his shoulder.

"Let me think about it, I need to consider it..."

"Lord Hu Che, the Fox Tribe must not waste their beauty..."

---

Inside the Snake Kings Cave.

Tang Ruan and Yan Qing were staring at each other.

"Snake King, is something the matter?"

After being brought back by him.

Hu Che saw that she was fine and left.

Of course, it was also possible he left because he saw Yan Qing sitting there and refusing to go.

"Nothing."

Yan Qing was still looking at her.

Meeting Tang Ruan's gaze, he turned his head to look elsewhere.

He was verifying something.

The result was—

He really wanted to stay by her side.

As long as he was near her, he felt very much at peace.

The moment she left his sight.

He would imagine all sorts of bad things happening to her.

Because she was truly too weak.

Such a weak Female Beastman couldn't possibly give birth to a Fire Snake Clan Cub.

He thought of his mother.

She died because she gave birth to him.

His father never mentioned this to anyone.

But a High-level Beastman has memories even while in the mother's womb.

Therefore, Yan Qing clearly remembered that his mother, who was an ordinary snake, gave birth to him.

She left his father for a long time...

By the time she returned, he had already grown to a size that could no longer be absorbed.

His father had no choice but to accept it.

His mother's dying wish was for her Beast Husband to love their Cub.

He did it.

But he could only manage to "look like he loved him."

Because he couldn't forgive Yan Qing—the executioner who had killed his Mistress.

Yan Qing was actually afraid of falling in love with Tang Ruan.

Falling in love with a weak Female Beastman might lead to her death.

Moreover, she already had a Beast Husband by her side...

He couldn't even find a reason to stay with her.

Yan Qing stood up reluctantly.

Preparing to leave the cave.

Once he stepped out of here.

From the heartbeat of their first meeting to the current jealousy and possessiveness...

He would forget it all.

Tang Ruan also hurriedly stood up with him.

"You're leaving!"

She looked very happy.

Cold-faced Yan Qing was really not cute at all.

She Ming suddenly walked in carrying a deer leg.

"Tang Ruan, help me roast this. I'm crashing here for dinner today!"

Tang Ruan: ...

She Ming: ...

She Ming: "Snake King, you're here too? Then... then do you want to eat together..."

Yan Qing, who was already wavering, sat back down.

"Okay!"

Tang Ruan: ???

Tang Ruan: Does no one ask for her opinion?

The venison was roasted.

She Ming perfunctorily ate a few pieces and ran off.

It seemed that whether it was Tang Ruan's original world or the Beast World.

Eating with the boss was a very painful thing.

To make Yan Qing eat faster.

Tang Ruan piled all the roasted meat in front of him.

"Eat more!

It won't taste good once it gets cold."

She continued to work busy at the stone slab.

Eat quickly, leave quickly!

Tang Ruan was using self-made wooden chopsticks and adding seasonings Yan Qing had never seen.

She also gave him a pair of 'chopsticks'.

Although they were a bit difficult to use at first.

Once he got used to them, they indeed kept his hands from getting dirty.

He suddenly felt that living with her would probably be very interesting.

"If you were to take another Beast Husband, what kind would you want?"

Even Yan Qing didn't realize he had blurted those words out.

Tang Ruan was even more startled.

The chopsticks in her hand suddenly snapped, and her wrist knocked against the stone slab.

The hand rope on her wrist immediately gave off a scorched smell.

"Ah!"

Tang Ruan jumped away in a hurry.

Yan Qing waved his hand.

The stone slab instantly lost its temperature, and even the fire beneath it was extinguished.

A layer of white frost even appeared.

Tang Ruan watched this scene in shock.

He could actually absorb thermal energy!

Manipulating fire, absorbing heat, burning the blood of beastmen...

He was terrifyingly strong!

Why did she initially think he was the most gentle beastman in her dreams!

Yan Qing grabbed Tang Ruan's burned wrist.

After a few seconds, the burning sensation vanished.

What followed was an icy, cool feeling.

It was very comfortable.

Yan Qing let go.

Her slender white wrist looked so fragile in his palm.

As if it would snap if he used just a little more force.

Looking at the slightly blistered skin on her wrist.

He showed a displeased expression.

He had clearly been so timely, yet why was she still injured?

Tang Ruan was really afraid of his cold face.

Especially standing so close with a cold face.

The natural pressure emanating from him made her, a common person, just want to kneel down and worship.

"I'm fine..."

Tang Ruan wanted to pull her hand back.

But it was grabbed by him again.

On Tang Ruan's hand, the rope woven from Hu Che's fur had been burned through.

Revealing the Beast Husband Mark underneath.

It was a Wolf Fang.

She had said her missing Beast Husband was named Lang Lie.

A High-level Beastman of the Wolf Tribe.

He turned it over and over to look.

There was only one Beast Husband Mark on her wrist.

On a Female Beastman, the position where the Beast Husband Mark appeared was very fixed.

So, she actually only had one Beast Husband...

And he was missing.

Thus, he found a reason to stay by her side.

Yan Qing's eyes flickered.

His heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

He wanted to protect her!

That was the reason he could stay by her side!

The thoughts from before about forgetting everything once he stepped out were thrown to the back of his mind.

"Tang Ruan..."

He called out her name affectionately.

His emerald eyes seemed to have a soft-focus filter, incredibly gentle.

The person from her dreams and the person before her finally overlapped.

Tang Ruan stared at him blankly, her heart suddenly racing.

He took her hand and kissed the injured part...
