Chapter 233: Chapter 235: Catching a Turtle in a Jar (Part 2)

Hei Feng watched with a pained expression as Feng Huo dragged Su Nuannuan toward the cave entrance.

Nuannuan’s hair was now singed, and her Beast Skin Skirt was torn, revealing a large patch of her white bottom. Her face was also bruised and swollen, and she could barely open her eyes.

At this rate, she was sure to die.

The female outside the cave seemed vicious and cruel. Life would not be easy for Nuannuan in her hands; otherwise, she wouldn’t have resorted to such a malicious tactic as smoking people out.

But his Heart Vein was now severed, making it impossible to use his superpower to save her from Feng Huo’s grasp as he normally would.

He took a deep breath, a look of grim resolve in his eyes. Then, with a shudder, he instantly transformed into his Black Pig form.

Under his control, his black bristles began to stand on end, one by one, gradually curling around him like a hedgehog. After a flash of black, eerie light, his dark bristles suddenly became as hard and thick as armor.

He let out a low roar and charged at the Flower Jackal Beast dragging Su Nuannuan ahead of him.

The Flower Jackal Beast was sent flying in an instant, and Su Nuannuan, who had been in his grasp, was flung away as well.

Su Nuannuan felt herself flying through the air. Just as she was about to fall face-first onto the ground, Hei Feng dashed over and caught her with his short pig trotters.

Realizing Hei Feng had saved her and she was unharmed, Su Nuannuan was about to thank him with tears of joy. However, the moment she looked up, she was hit by a foul, boarish stench. The smell shot straight to her head, making her want to vomit uncontrollably.

"BLECH..."

She had tried to hold it in, but ultimately couldn’t.

The trotter Hei Feng was using to touch Su Nuannuan’s face froze for a moment, and his own face darkened.

Su Nuannuan felt a bit better after throwing up, but seeing Hei Feng’s face, she knew her reaction had been too obvious.

’Stupid nose, why do you have to be so sensitive? Can’t even handle a little stink? This is a life-or-death situation!’

A flicker of annoyance crossed her eyes, but remembering she still had to rely on Hei Feng, she quickly adjusted her attitude. With a hint of apology on her face, she lowered her head and said:

"Hei Feng, I... I didn’t do it on purpose. Please don’t be angry. I’ve been really sensitive to smells lately. I went to see the Witch Doctor, and he said I’m pregnant with a little cub."

"I was just throwing up, it wasn’t because of you..."

Before Su Nuannuan could finish, Hei Feng’s face lit up with joy. "Really? Nuannuan, you’re really pregnant with a cub? When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?"

Seeing that Hei Feng had bought it, Su Nuannuan knew her fabricated excuse had worked.

She lowered her head, feigning shyness. "It just happened in the last few days. You’ve been busy with the Salt Well Cave, and I didn’t want to disturb you. I was originally planning to tell you so we could celebrate after our big plan succeeded, but who knew..."

Hearing this, Hei Feng excitedly pulled Su Nuannuan into a tight hug. But then, remembering her sensitivity to smells, he reluctantly let her go and said with a determined look, "Don’t worry, Nuannuan. I will never let anything happen to you or our little cub."

He had barely finished speaking when the Flower Jackal Beast launched a sneak attack from behind.

He brought a palm down like a serrated blade, but the instant it made contact with Hei Feng’s back, he was violently thrown back.

He wore a look of utter disbelief. "Impossible! You only have Fifth Rank Beastification. How could you withstand my Half-Fifth Rank Sky-splitting Slash?"

"Is that so? Then let’s put it to the test." Upon hearing this, Hei Feng turned around, his gaze dark as he stared at the Flower Jackal Beast before him.

He advanced on him step by step, then conjured a black Ghost Fire Ball and struck him in the abdomen.

Feng Huo hastily dodged back a step and countered with a red Flame Palm of his own. This time, however, it was not as effective as before. The Ghost Fire Ball passed straight through the Flame Palm and struck his abdomen, causing him to instantly spit up a mouthful of blood.

"You... you actually forced a breakthrough in your Beast Rank to reach the Sixth Rank!"

Feng Huo thought the man before him was a complete fool. ’Forcibly breaking through one’s Beast Rank causes the Heart Vein to shatter. By forcing it like this, the kid won’t have long to live.’

’What on earth is he doing this for?’

Feng Huo couldn’t help but glance at Su Nuannuan behind him. A single look was all it took for him to decide that the kid wasn’t just a fool—he was an idiot.

’To throw away his life as a beastman for such an unsightly female... what’s the point?’

Her hair was singed and frizzy, her eyes were as swollen as a snail’s, her face was a mass of bruises, and her clothes were in tatters. She looked no different from a stray beast.

’The only thing remotely decent about her is her slender figure, but the Beast World Continent has no shortage of slender females. It’s not like he couldn’t go out and find another one. Why get hung up on such an... ugly female?’

’However, since this female is his weakness, this is actually a good thing for me.’

He teleported backward and reached out to grab Su Nuannuan. However, his opponent gave him no such opportunity. Hei Feng glared at him darkly, then launched another Ghost Fire Ball at him.

This time, Feng Huo failed to dodge and collapsed to the ground, his neck lolling to the side.

Su Nuannuan’s heart had been pounding in terror when she saw the Flower Jackal Beast coming for her, but after seeing Hei Feng kill him with a single strike, she instantly felt a great sense of relief.

She looked at Hei Feng with a mix of surprise and adoration. "Hei Feng, you’re amazing! You even defeated Feng Huo."

Hei Feng had fought Feng Huo before and was no match for him. Su Nuannuan couldn’t help but praise him, shocked that he had become so powerful in such a short time.

At her words, a happy smile spread across Hei Feng’s face. This was only the second time Su Nuannuan had praised and admired him since they first met.

He had always wanted Nuannuan to admire him the way she did when they first met, but she was always dissatisfied with him, thinking he wasn’t strong enough.

This time, his wish had finally come true.

Too bad...

’Wait, from what Feng Huo just said, did Hei Feng break through to the Sixth Rank?’

’I can’t believe it. I, Su Nuannuan, actually found a diamond in the rough.’

’Hahaha, the Sixth Rank! Heaven must be helping me.’

’So what if Su Luoluo has six Beastmen? They’re all merely Fifth Rank. My one Beastman is Sixth Rank—he’s as good as six of hers!’

Her face alight with glee, Su Nuannuan ran into Hei Feng’s arms, exclaiming happily, "I knew it! You’re the best, Hei Feng!"

Hei Feng hesitated for a moment, then gently patted Su Nuannuan’s back with his trotter. He gazed into the distance and said, "Since I’m this powerful, our little cub should be proud of me as their Beast Father, right?"

Hearing this, Su Nuannuan’s eyes darted away unnaturally. Feeling a pang of guilt, she nodded. "Of course. They’ll definitely be proud of having such a powerful Beastman for a father."

’I was just saying that off the cuff. Who knew this Black Pig would actually take it to heart?’

’Originally, I had no intention of having a cub with Hei Feng. After all, giving birth would ruin my figure, and I wouldn’t be able to form a contract with any other new Beastmen either.’

’But now that Hei Feng is so powerful, having a cub with him isn’t out of the question.’

’But if I’m going to do that, I’ll have to find a way to get closer to Hei Feng, or else I won’t be able to get pregnant.’

Thinking of Hei Feng’s foul-smelling mouth and boarish-stinking body, Su Nuannuan felt she could only grit her teeth and go through with it.
