83: Chapter 83 "I'm sorry."

Suddenly, Tang Ruan felt as if she were no longer in control of herself.

That purple fruit seemed to have a life of its own, constantly draining Energy from her body.

She wanted to stop.

But there seemed to be a voice urging her on.

"Hurry up, let all the plants here bloom and bear fruit. Dedicate all your power to nature."

Tang Ruan felt as if she were a spring of water, the water dwindling, on the verge of running dry.

"Tang Ruan! Tang Ruan!" Yan Qing stood behind her and shouted.

Tang Ruan stood in the field with her eyes closed, the plants in the field growing wildly as if they had a life of their own.

Blooming and bearing fruit... Maturing round after round... The fruits piled up into a small hill.

One purple fruit, under the infusion of Energy, had already swollen to half the height of a person, appearing as if it could explode at any moment.

Yan Qing reached out and placed his hand on Tang Ruan's shoulder.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of Energy rushing into his body.

Yan Qing was startled.

A Beastman's Supernatural Ability is usually for attacking others or obtaining Energy from others.

Yet Tang Ruan's Supernatural Ability was actually about dedication...

He guessed that if Tang Ruan could not stop herself, the more powerful the thing that came into contact with her, the more Energy she would dedicate outward.

Yan Qing did not dare to touch her again.

"Tang Ruan! It's me, Yan Qing! Don't let your Supernatural Ability control you!" he shouted loudly.

It was all his fault; unknowingly, he had raised her Supernatural Ability to Level Two.

And because Tang Ruan had not gone through the process of leveling up, she didn't know how to control her Supernatural Ability.

"Tang Ruan!" Yan Qing was going crazy. He had lived for so long, and never before had he felt such fear as he did at this very moment.

He waved his hand, and the field before him instantly caught fire.

The purple fruit was instantly swallowed by the fire and burned to nothing in the blink of an eye.

But Tang Ruan did not stop. New plants grew once again from the scorched earth.

Yan Qing felt his heart trembling. This was the first time he had ever felt this way.

She cannot be hurt... His Mistress cannot be hurt...

Yan Qing said to the Beast God in the depths of his heart. If Tang Ruan died, he would make the entire Beast World pay for it!

Suddenly, a person's name flew into his mind.

"Lang Lie!" Yan Qing shouted loudly, "Tang Ruan! I found Lang Lie! I brought him back!"

Amidst the chaos, Tang Ruan could no longer see the things before her. In her consciousness, she lay limp on the ground.

She let countless points of light take away the Energy from her body. Yet she was incomparably peaceful, as if she felt that all of this was only natural.

Suddenly, she heard Yan Qing's voice. "Lang Lie?"

Yes! She could not die yet, she could not dedicate her life to nature just yet. Because she still had someone she wanted to see.

Tang Ruan slowly opened her eyes. At that moment, the weakness in her body felt like a thousand-pound boulder pressing down on her.

She instantly fell backward, tumbling into a broad, warm embrace.

Tang Ruan barely managed to keep her eyelids open, "Yan Qing..." "It's me..." Yan Qing's voice trembled.

In the past, he had watched those enemies trembling, wailing, and even going insane from fear under his flames. He could not empathize with them at all.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that fear was truly a more terrifying thing than death.

"Where is Lang Lie?" she asked.

Yan Qing's heart shook, and he forcefully suppressed his immense pain. "Hold on, don't sleep. I will take you to see him very soon."

He held her tightly in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Energy flowed through his lips, continuously entering her body. But Tang Ruan fell asleep anyway.

Before falling asleep, she thought: How wonderful, when she wakes up, she will be able to see Lang Lie.

She did not know how long she slept. When she woke up again, Tang Ruan was lying in a large tent.

"Lang Lie..." She seemed to have heard Yan Qing say that he had found Lang Lie; was she dreaming?

Tang Ruan looked around. A gentle breeze blew in from the tent opening. Beneath the soft couch was vibrant green grass.

"The scent here is so familiar..."

Yan Qing suddenly walked in from the tent opening. "Yan Qing, where is this?" Tang Ruan asked.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Qing was already in front of her. Tang Ruan hadn't even seen how he had gotten there.

He pulled her into his arms. The force was so great that it was as if he feared she would disappear in the next second.

Tang Ruan sensed that his emotions were off, so she let him hold her.

After a long while, Yan Qing slowly released her. His brow was still tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with worry.

Yan Qing with this expression felt very unfamiliar to Tang Ruan. Shouldn't he act as if everything was under his control regarding any matter?

"What's wrong with you?" she asked softly, comforting him by stroking his hair.

"You are not allowed to use your Supernatural Ability from now on."

"Why?" Tang Ruan blurted out. A scene from before she lost consciousness suddenly flashed through her mind.

Had she nearly lost her life there...

At that time, she had truly felt that dedicating herself to nature, even dying, would be a very happy thing.

Seeing the change in her expression, Yan Qing knew that she had remembered.

Tang Ruan nodded, "Alright then..."

Seeing that she seemed unhappy, Yan Qing added, "You can still use your previous Supernatural Ability. As for the new one, we will talk about it after you have fully mastered it."

Tang Ruan nodded. Even if he let her use it now, she wouldn't dare. She had almost lost her little life.

Yan Qing called for the Witch Doctor to give her a simple check-up and confirmed that Tang Ruan was fine. Only then did he feel slightly relieved.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Yan Qing suddenly asked.

"Where is this?" Tang Ruan had been curious just a moment ago; the scent of the grass here was so familiar.

"You should be more familiar with this place than I am." He pulled her up and walked toward the outside of the cave.

Tang Ruan didn't know how many days she had been lying down, but her legs were a bit weak. She stumbled a step, and her entire weight pressed almost completely onto Yan Qing.

"Yan Qing, my legs are weak..." she said coquettishly, pitifully using her eyes to beg for a hug.

Yan Qing flexed his fingers, "I will support you; walk on your own."

Tang Ruan: ... Flirting failed. Had Yan Qing become immune to her so quickly?

Tang Ruan supported herself on Yan Qing and walked to the tent opening; in about a hundred meters, she had regained the feeling in her legs.

Feeling that Tang Ruan's weight was no longer pressing on him, Yan Qing finally felt completely relieved.

When a Supernatural Ability goes out of control, Energy will collide within the body. For Beastmen, it is a matter of nine deaths and one life. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will all be left disabled.

Someone like Tang Ruan is simply a miracle. It must be related to her special Supernatural Ability.

Tang Ruan walked out of the tent. Instantly, a warm breeze hit her. The sky was cloudless, the green grass rolled like waves, and the area near the distant volcano was filled with a sea of flowers.

"This is... Dongdong Valley!" Tang Ruan said in pleasant surprise.

Yan Qing finally revealed the first smile since she had woken up. "We didn't find the wrong place; that's great."

Tang Ruan suddenly remembered that Lang Lie had told her to wait for him, yet she had run out on her own... So, had he already returned?

Tang Ruan turned around and ran toward the entrance of Dongdong Valley. Yan Qing grabbed her and pulled her back into his arms. He held her tightly... "I'm sorry."
