CHAPTER 147: CHAPTER 138 GREAT DEMON KING, HUG_1

Looking at Dongchi’s and Nan Mo’s cubs, Si Yan couldn’t help but think of Xi Qing, who had hugged her and smiled, and Bei Ji, with his purity that could melt people’s hearts.

When they parted, Si Yan had asked them to follow Ming Yan closely.

Although Ming Yan had no responsibility or obligation to help her raise her cubs, considering the multiple times she had helped Black Tiger City, she trusted he would take care of the two cubs.

The two cubs were also quite clever; as long as they kept following Ming Yan, they should be safe.

And as long as she waited in Dark Sun Lake, with the cubs’ intelligence, they would surely know to come and meet her there.

Si Yan temporarily set aside this concern and began to select soil.

Having a Wood-based Ability, Si Yan had her own perception of where the grass grew thickest.

She picked out the most fertile mud, put it into her space, and after watering it with the cool water from Dark Sun Lake, Si Yan excitedly threw a few strawberry seedlings into her space.

Then she observed the strawberry seedlings in her space with some excitement.

In the space, the gecko had already turned on the Sun Simulator Lamp that was connected to power.

He took the strawberry seedlings Si Yan had thrown in, used a claw to make holes in the soil, and then planted the strawberry seedlings.

Si Yan carefully infused the aura of her Wood-based Ability into the space.

Next, Si Yan saw the strawberry seedlings in the space visibly perk up.

Amazing! Si Yan was exhilarated. It really worked! Her space could actually be used for planting! Planting was *truly* possible! If the space could be used for planting, then she had essentially gained a piece of farmland that could be moved at any time! That was a significant advantage!

The gecko seemed utterly exhausted. "PANT, PANT... Grandson, hurry up and enlarge the space. Only then will your space be useful. Look, even ten cubic meters is still not enough. What’s the use of that?"

"I wish I could, but you can’t rush these things," Si Yan said.

The gecko suddenly sat bolt upright. "What do you mean ’can’t rush’? Grandpa orders you! Go and sort out my grandson-in-law today!"

Si Yan was speechless. This gecko was really more impetuous than she was!

As she thought about it, Si Yan walked toward the cubs. The ground in the forest was soft, and for a moment she didn’t watch her step.

She slipped and twisted her ankle slightly, but it wasn’t too bad.

Just as Si Yan was about to adjust her footing, she was steadied by a sturdy hand.

Si Yan turned around. In the moonlight, she saw a male’s dark purple hair, silky as satin, falling down as he tilted his head, looking at her with a naturally charming yet extremely cold gaze.

Si Yan was startled for a moment, her mind buzzing slightly in the face of such beauty.

The male’s low, magnetic voice asked, "What are you doing?"

Si Yan came back to her senses and quickly straightened up. "Nothing, nothing."

She had just planted a few strawberry seedlings in her space, that’s all! Actually, Si Yan wasn’t necessarily trying to hide her Spatial Ability; she had already told him about her Wood-based Ability. She was somewhat worried that if he found out she had two Special Abilities, it might frighten him. Well, it wasn’t anything serious. He would find out on his own eventually.

Si Yan looked up at him again; in his handsome eyes, there seemed to be a very faint trace of worry, as if something hadn’t gone successfully.

Si Yan asked cautiously, "Great Demon King, what are you doing here?"

What Si Yan didn’t know was that She Wang had just been in a place not too far from hers, had set up a pot, and had cooked some meat.

Unfortunately, he failed. It was a dismal example of dark cuisine, the kind that even wild boars wouldn’t eat.

"Just passing by," the cold-blooded Snake Beastman said indifferently.

Si Yan sniffed, seeming to smell a hint of something burnt on him.

The cold-blooded Snake Beastman retreated discreetly.

As she was wondering, the gecko roared, "Grandson! This is a great opportunity now that he’s come to see you! Hurry, take advantage of him, go embrace him!!"

"Think about your space, think about farming in your space! Hurry, hurry up!"

Si Yan’s eyebrows twitched.

But thinking of planting in her space and then looking at the extremely attractive male in front of her, Si Yan suddenly decided to cast aside her reservations.

Her stature wasn’t small in the post-apocalyptic world, but in the Beast World, she was too small.

She turned to face She Wang and lifted her head, her eyes sparkling. She extended both hands, looking somewhat endearing, and spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I’m a bit tired after walking over, and my feet are sore. Great Demon King, hold me~"

In that moment, the cold, aloof, dark-purple-haired Snake Beastman was utterly dumbfounded.

Seeing him looking stunned, Si Yan bit her lip and persisted, "Great Demon King, hold me, give me a hug."

The Purple Crystal Snake Beastman slowly came to his senses. He looked down at the little Mistress who had suddenly become so soft and cute, and bent slightly...

The gecko roared, "Here it comes, the princess carry!!"

She Wang then gently lifted the small Mistress, who was clad in purple snake slough. He was very strong and lifted her with no effort at all.

He was dominant and powerful, making her feel incredibly secure.

It wasn’t the posture of a princess carry, but rather that of a one-armed embrace, like how one would hold a daughter.

Si Yan was lifted into the air, and she relaxed, wrapping her delicate and tender arms around the male’s neck.

The austere Beastman’s tall frame tensed up once more.

Si Yan’s body pressed against the cold-blooded Snake Beastman’s, greedily absorbing power.

"Gecko, I have a question. Why can I absorb power so quickly just by being close to him? I can’t possibly be practicing some sort of evil ’absorb yang to supplement yin’ technique, can I?"

The gecko in the space, still leisurely managing Si Yan’s small plot of land, replied nonchalantly, "My good grandson, you normally can’t cultivate; it’s just because of the rules of the Beast World."

"Beast World rules?"

The gecko reminded her, "Mm-hmm, one of the rules of the Beast World. Males gain power through cultivation, while females gain power through contracts with males. Males possess Beast Crystals and can cultivate, whereas females cannot condense Beast Crystals, and so cannot cultivate."

Si Yan seemed to understand something.

The gecko continued to explain, "Females themselves cannot cultivate. If it weren’t for this rule, with your aptitude, you would also be considered a genius in the Beast World. Not like now, where you must rely on contract-bound males as a medium to absorb the power of this world to cultivate."

Si Yan’s eyes lit up.

So she was actually a genius?!

Si Yan felt even more pleased.

She tilted her head slightly and saw She Wang’s smoothly contoured neck, and she naturally pressed her face against it.

She Wang froze.

The male, who had just recovered and started walking a few steps, felt a soft and slightly cool touch on his neck.

His body stiffened abruptly.

He petrified once again.

"Great Demon King..." Si Yan, feeling refreshed from the power, rubbed against him like a contented cat.

She Wang’s body tensed as he slowly tightened his embrace around Si Yan. His expression was fiercely intimidating, as if someone owed him millions.

He strode forward.

Behind him, the two little snake cubs were completely bewildered.

Nan Mo said with some confusion, "Big brother... Mother, has she forgiven Father Beast? Should we forgive him too? Should we tell him that we are his children?"

Dongchi said through gritted teeth, "Nan Mo, Snake Beastmen don’t care about their own cubs! Especially since we are male cubs! Snake Beastmen don’t care about their own offspring; they only care about their Mistress."

Dongchi continued bitterly, "Do you believe that if we tell him now that we are his biological children, not only will he not be any nicer to us, but he will also feel ten thousand times more guilt towards Mother. Then, you’ll see him clinging to Mother all day long!"

"By then, we won’t have any place with Mother; we won’t even be able to squeeze in!"

Hearing Dongchi speak like this, Nan Mo was terrified!

Nan Mo said with relief, "Big brother, you’ve thought this through so well."

But then he saw Dongchi running rapidly in Si Yan’s direction.

Nan Mo cried out, "Brother, wait for me!"

Dongchi yelled back, "We have to hurry! We can’t let that scumbag father monopolize Mother!"

Si Yan lay still.

The Great Demon King, despite his fierce expression, patted her. His voice, however, was gentle. "Yan Yan?"

With a sigh, Si Yan spoke in a soft, dependent voice, "Great Demon King, I’m so sleepy. Can I sleep?"

The male’s cold voice held a trace of an almost imperceptible hoarseness. "Sleep."

The stern male’s arm around her gave her small waist a squeeze.

The little Mistress truly was small everywhere, he mused. Her arms, her thighs, even her waist—all so fine and tiny.
