98: Chapter 98 Don't worry, if it's about...him, I won't hide it from you.

"Little white dog, don't be afraid. It's okay, it's okay..." Tang Ruan stroked the little white dog's back.

The little white dog was soothed and stopped trembling.

The Dog Clan Patriarch suddenly knelt down with a "thump."

Tang Ruan: ?

The little white dog, which had been enjoying being petted by Tang Ruan, suddenly bristled.

It instantly jumped two meters away.

Tang Ruan: ...

Can such a big dog jump that far?

She suddenly realized.

Could he be...

"Divine Maiden, please forgive us, my son was just scared silly."

The little white dog instantly transformed into a youth of eighteen or nineteen years old.

With a large, singed tail tucked behind him, he lay on the ground trembling.

"It... it's okay..." Tang Ruan said awkwardly.

Yan Qing suddenly stepped forward.

The three of them shivered in fright.

Tang Ruan stood up and hugged his waist.

"Yan Qing, let's go over there and take a look."

Yan Qing: ...

Yan Qing lowered his eyes and looked at her with a half-smile.

"In your eyes, am I that difficult to talk to?"

Tang Ruan nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook her head.

"No, you are the King with the best temper."

"My temper is not as good as you imagine."

Suddenly, a ring of flames ignited around the white dog Male Beastman.

The white dog Male Beastman was trapped inside, screaming in fear and curling into a ball.

"Snake King, spare me! I really didn't know that was your Mistress! Snake King, spare me!"

The beastmen who were farming nearby also saw this scene.

They all knelt down to Yan Qing one after another.

Yan Qing reached out and rubbed Tang Ruan's head.

"See, I have a bad temper. So, from now on, you are not allowed to casually hug any little white dogs, little black dogs..."

Tang Ruan: ...

Does pulling someone out of a ditch count as hugging?

Tang Ruan just wanted to plead for the white dog Male Beastman.

That ring of flames suddenly extinguished.

"Alright, take us to see other places." He turned his head and said to the Dog Clan Patriarch kneeling on the ground.

His light and airy demeanor made him unfathomable.

It seemed as if he had just been making a joke earlier.

The Dog Clan Patriarch hurriedly climbed up, "Please, this way."

He wiped his sweat while leading the way.

Fortunately, the Snake King's temper was much better than before.

Dog City was one of the first cities he conquered.

At that time, just because a beastman made a sound of disdain while he was speaking, he was immediately burned to ashes.

Chi Ling, who was by his side, was even more terrifying, burning all the beastmen around that beastman to death.

But in later interactions, he discovered that he wasn't completely unable to listen to others' opinions.

At that time, it might have just been for intimidation.

They all thought Chi Ling was his Mistress.

They thought, with such a cruel Mistress, weren't they doomed?

Fortunately, the Snake King's current Mistress was a beastman who looked very kind.

Therefore, even he had become easier to talk to.

The Dog Clan Patriarch took them around for a tour.

Tang Ruan discovered that they had basically replicated it according to her blueprints.

Multiple drainage points were set up to regulate the water volume.

However, in every water ditch, whether it was flowing or currently dry, Beast-Eating Fish had appeared.

Had it reached such an extent of infestation?

Even if they were intentionally farmed, they wouldn't reach this quantity, right?

"You can make a screen out of stones and wedge it here to prevent the Beast-Eating Fish from swimming in and causing biting incidents like today's..."

Tang Ruan squatted by a dry ditch and started drawing on the ground.

The Dog Clan Patriarch looked at Tang Ruan with an admiring gaze.

"That's great, this way the Beast-Eating Fish won't be able to get through! Divine Maiden, you are truly so smart!"

Tang Ruan smiled; this was actually a very simple principle.

It was just that beastmen didn't catch fish, so they didn't have the concept of filtering with a mesh screen.

"The holes must be smaller than the fish, and you need to pay attention to cleaning it every day."

She clapped her hands and prepared to stand up.

Suddenly, she noticed a flash of blue light in the dry soil.

Her heart felt like it had been suddenly struck by something.

She was too familiar with this light.

Tang Ruan immediately knelt on the ground, reached out, and dug the glowing thing out of the mud.

It was a diamond-shaped crystal.

The size was almost exactly the same as the one hanging around her neck.

Feeling it carefully, there was still a faint flow of Supernatural Ability on it.

She couldn't feel these before.

But ever since she advanced to a level two beastman, she could feel that there was Energy on the crystal Baby left behind.

She could also feel Baby's Supernatural Ability, which was a type of Supernatural Ability she had never seen before.

Then this crystal is...

Tang Ruan gripped the blue crystal, her fist trembling slightly...

If Lang Lie is already gone, his crystal must be—

Yan Qing suddenly grabbed her hand.

With his other hand, he took the crystal out of her palm.

"Don't touch other people's ghost crystal randomly. It's not good for you."

He didn't specify exactly where it was not good.

Tang Ruan also didn't understand the rules of the Beast World.

But she was eager to know if this crystal was related to Lang Lie.

She reached out to grab it.

Yan Qing nimbly avoided her.

The Dog Clan Patriarch immediately stepped forward tactfully, "Divine Maiden, ghost crystal might cause disorder in Supernatural Ability—"

He was halfway through making it up when he suddenly noticed one hanging around Tang Ruan's neck.

He changed his words: "If it is not the ghost crystal of a loved one, the Supernatural Ability inside might hurt you."

Tang Ruan was skeptical.

"I want to know, what Supernatural Ability did the owner of this crystal originally use?"

"I will go check for you. I know a beastman who possesses a special Supernatural Ability; he is very accurate at looking at these." Yan Qing lowered his eyes, gazing into her eyes.

No emotion could be seen in his dark green eyes.

Seeing Tang Ruan anxiously glaring at him, seemingly not believing him.

A sharp pain, like a blade piercing through, flashed in his heart.

"Rest assured, if it concerns... him, I will definitely not hide it from you."

---

Potato Mom had once told Tang Ruan that as long as the Beast Husband Mark was still there, it proved that Lang Lie was still alive.

Moreover, Yan Qing had even included the matter of searching for Lang Lie into the Mistress contract.

Therefore, she didn't suspect that he would intentionally hide anything.

It was just that she was too anxious at the time and wanted to know the answer immediately.

Yan Qing took the ghost crystal and went to find the beastman who "possesses a special Supernatural Ability."

Because it was quite far from Dog City, it would take a few days.

A beastman with wind-type Supernatural Ability split the water surface.

He rolled out a Bone King Fish and threw it into a newly dug small pond nearby.

"Divine Maiden, I've caught eight, is that enough?" He said, panting.

That Dog Tribe beastman with wind-type Supernatural Ability was a Mid-level Beastman.

His Supernatural Ability was sometimes effective and sometimes not; he probably felt a bit powerless at this moment, which is why he asked.

Tang Ruan nodded, "That's enough."

She pointed to the ditch connected to the small pond, "You don't need to add a stone screen to this one; the Beast-Eating Fish that swim in will serve directly as their food. You can also throw in the prey bones you usually have left over; the Bone King Fish eats everything."

The beastman nodded, scratching the back of his head.

Although everyone had heard of the Divine Maiden's plan, but was raising this kind of ugly fish to eat really tasty?

Tang Ruan thought for a moment, "How about we catch one more! We'll eat it tonight!"

That night, the Bone King Fish conquered all the Dog Tribe members with the strength of its fresh and delicious meat.

"How can there be such fresh meat? My mouth is watering from the freshness!"

"If we made steamed buns with this, it would definitely be delicious!"

Tang Ruan: They really never forget about meat buns.

A little Cub had seen the scene of the Bone King Fish being processed and was scared by the Bone King Fish's bloody maw.

"I won't eat it! Even if I starve to death! I won't eat this ugly fish!"

His father, taking advantage of his crying and fussing, suddenly stuffed a piece of fish meat into his mouth.

Cub: "So delicious..."
