204: Chapter 204 I'm angry... I need to be coaxed...

Hearing Lang Lie say this, Tang Ruan's eyes widened in excitement.

So that was what Lang Lie was thinking!

She hurriedly took out her slingshot from her space.

It was the same slingshot from N years ago, but because it had been kept in her space the whole time, it showed no signs of aging.

However, her skills were only average to begin with, and after not practicing for so many years, would she still be able to hit her target?

Besides, there were no suitable stones.

Tang Ruan suddenly thought of the "crystal mountain" that Yan Qing had given her in her space.

Actually, the Energy on the crystals had mostly been absorbed, making them just a pile of handy stones.

Thus, Tang Ruan grabbed a handful of crystals from her space.

Immediately, it attracted the attention of all the Beastmen.

The moment the Wolf Clan Beastmen saw Tang Ruan take out the slingshot, they actually already understood what she was going to do.

How could they have forgotten that when the Goddess was in Dongdong Valley, she had taught them how to use a slingshot?

The competition rules only stated that Supernatural Ability could not be used; they didn't say anything about not using slingshots!

It was worth noting that they had also brought their slingshots.

However, when they saw her pull out that handful of crystals from her space, they all suddenly became uneasy.

Judging by their luster, they were all crystals with most of their Energy absorbed.

But even if only a little bit of Energy remained, they were still crystals!

Before the Beast Kingdom was established, many Mid-level Beastmen might not even obtain a single crystal after working hard their entire lives.

Now, she was actually using them as "pebbles"?

Tang Ruan's eyesight was much sharper than before.

She closed one eye, pulled the bow, and aimed.

A direct hit.

A red fruit fell to the ground, with a shiny blue crystal embedded in it.

The Beastmen's gazes were immediately drawn to the fruit on the ground.

It was unclear whether they were shocked by Tang Ruan's accuracy or coveted that fingernail-sized crystal.

Tang Ruan, however, did not notice this.

Being a competitive woman her whole life, she had to help her Beast Husband regain face in this competition!

With the "swish, swish, swish" sounds of something piercing the air, they came one after another.

One fruit after another kept falling to the ground...

Lang Lie leaped, and Tang Ruan straightened up in mid-air, aiming at the last fruit.

"Thud!" The fruit landed at the feet of a Mid-level Beastman.

The Mid-level Beastman swallowed hard.

"Lang Lie! We're going to win for sure!"

Tang Ruan, who was excited, suddenly saw several pairs of eyes staring at the fruit she had knocked to the ground.

"Is this fruit delicious?" she asked.

Lang Lie transformed into human form, leaned into her ear, and said a few words.

Tang Ruan: ...

So that was it.

Having stayed with Fentian for a long time and living in the crystal cave every day, she had forgotten that in the Beast World, crystals were still very precious.

Since that was the case—

Tang Ruan pulled Lang Lie over and discussed it with him.

Lang Lie nodded and smiled, "That's fine."

Tang Ruan turned around and happily announced, "After counting the number of fruits later, these fruits with crystals will be placed in a stone jar along with everyone else's.

Whoever draws one, it's theirs!"

Tang Ruan added a temporary game segment; she felt this would be very interesting.

Upon hearing this, the Beastmen all became excited.

crystals were precious; even if the Energy wasn't very sufficient, a fingernail-sized piece was definitely enough to trade for a rhinoceros.

This was equivalent to saying that no matter what place you got, as long as you were lucky, you could get "a cow" for free.

After returning to the starting point, Lang Lie unsurprisingly won first place.

But all the Beastmen were happier than if they had won first place.

Those who didn't participate were full of regret.

"If I had known the Goddess was bestowing blessings, I would have participated too."

"Sigh! The City Lord is still the lucky one; he became her Beast Husband even before the Beast God found the Goddess."

"Yeah... Wolf City is benefiting from it..."

Tang Ruan listened to them talking about blessings and such.

She felt as if she had suddenly turned into an old immortal.

Those Beastmen who had drawn crystals all consciously came before her, bowed, and saluted.

"Thank you, Goddess, for your blessing."

Tang Ruan: ...

Even the Wolf Clan she knew did this.

When they were in Central City, they had to consider Yan Qing's status, so saluting was fine.

But they were still doing it in Wolf City...

Tang Ruan suddenly felt a stuffiness in her chest, as if she had lost something.

Lang Chi followed the bowing Beastmen and came to Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan frowned slightly; surely he wasn't going to be like them too!

Suddenly, Lang Chi bit the fruit in his hand.

He bowed and stretched out his empty hands.

Tang Ruan: ...

"Goddess, bestow more next time." He took a bite of the fruit and said, holding the fruit without a crystal, in a devil-may-care manner.

Tang Ruan: ...

Seeing Tang Ruan stunned, Lang Chi pinched his throat and mimicked a Female Beastman's voice, saying, "I didn't draw one!"

Lang Feng, Lang Mo, and Lang Yu behind him also joined in the teasing.

"Goddess, bestow more! I didn't draw one!"

"Pfft!"

Tang Ruan couldn't help but laugh.

Lang Lie was also amused and made a move to hit them, "I think you guys are asking for a beating."

Everyone laughed and mingled together.

The heavy feeling in Tang Ruan's heart disappeared.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a 13 or 14-year-old young Male Beastman standing in the distance.

The young Male Beastman met Tang Ruan's gaze and turned to run away into the distance.

Tang Ruan: Xingxing?

Seeing Xingxing run away, Lang Feng hurriedly chased after him.

---

In the evening, Tang Ruan told Lang Lie about Tudou and Lang Chi.

"I noticed it too, so I arranged for Lang Xue to live next door to Lang Chi.

Lang Xue is the type he likes, and she genuinely likes Lang Chi.

I believe that after they become 'acquaintances,' they will soon develop feelings for each other over time."

She didn't expect Lang Lie to have arranged it so properly.

Tang Ruan joked, "You actually even know what type Lang Chi likes!

You, as the leader, are quite considerate!"

She gave a thumbs up.

Lang Lie suddenly stared at her without speaking.

Tang Ruan: ...

"Why are you looking at me?"

Lang Lie suddenly braced his hands on both sides of her head.

One hand played with a lock of her hair, and the other hand gently grazed her soft cheek.

"Then guess, how did I know what type he likes?"

His gaze fell on her snow-white neck.

Tang Ruan inexplicably felt like she was being treated as prey.

"How did you know?"

Lang Lie lowered his head and bit lightly behind her ear.

One hand slid to her waist and pinched the soft flesh there.

His warm breath sprayed onto her neck: "Do you really not know?"

Tang Ruan: Uh... I know now.

He likes white ones.

But didn't Tudou say that it was because the Beastmen instigated it, so Lang Chi mistakenly thought he liked her?

Tang Ruan: "I know now."

Lang Lie: "I'm jealous now."

Tang Ruan: ...

"I don't like him."

"Thinking that he once liked you makes me very uncomfortable; I have to find someone to take this kid off the market immediately!" Lang Lie said somewhat fiercely.

Tang Ruan gently patted his back.

"Alright... I know, don't be so petty..."

"I'm angry."

Tang Ruan: ?

"Then what should we do?"

"You need to coax me..." Lang Lie kissed her lips, "If you can't coax me well, you're not allowed to sleep..."
