Chapter 590: The Trap Finally Closed
Chapter 590: The Trap Finally Closed
Without wasting time, she stood up immediately. Shi Feng also silently rose from beside the wooden fence and prepared to follow her.Before leaving, Su Qinglan naturally bent down toward her three cubs who were rolling around the yard.
She kissed each of them softly on their cheeks. The cubs immediately became happy.
But when she lifted her head, she suddenly noticed three extremely jealous gazes fixed on her.
Hu Yan, Han Jue, and Xuan Long were all staring at the cubs darkly.
Especially Hu Yan.
His face clearly said...
Why do the cubs get kisses first?
Su Qinglan almost burst into laughter.
These men...how could they be jealous of their own cubs? So she tiptoed obediently and kissed each of them lightly on their cheeks too.
Only then did their gloomy expressions improve.
Meanwhile, Shi Feng had already walked outside and missed the entire scene completely.
Soon, Su Qinglan came out with a bright expression and followed Li Quan toward Yue Lian’s house while Shi Feng quietly followed behind them.
Not long later, they arrived. The wooden house was silent from outside, but faint crying could already be heard from inside.
Yue Lian’s other mate quickly came out to greet them. But when he noticed Shi Feng, he immediately lowered his head respectfully.
"Brother beastman... My female is currently in distress. Please wait outside."
Shi Feng nodded calmly. He had no intention of entering another female’s house anyway. Especially during such a sensitive time.
Su Qinglan also waved toward him lightly.
"I’ll go inside first."
Shi Feng gave a small nod while Li Quan remained outside anxiously beside him.
Then Su Qinglan stepped into the wooden house alone. But the moment she entered, the first thing she heard was Yue Lian’s painful crying.
The female was curled on the bed while clutching her stomach, her face pale from pain. Su Qinglan’s expression immediately changed.
What happened?
Why was she suddenly in this much pain?
But before she could even move closer, her entire body suddenly froze. Because she felt another presence inside the room.
Someone else was here. Her instincts exploded instantly.
Almost at the same second, her hand moved toward her stomach cautiously as she stepped backward, wanting to leave the room immediately.
But suddenly something cold and sharp pressed against her back.
A chilling aura wrapped around her body. Then a cold, gloomy voice slowly sounded beside her ear.
"Female..."
The voice was low and terrifying.
"If you dare shout and alert your weak husband outside..."
The sharp object behind her pressed slightly deeper.
"Then before he reaches you..."
A faint sinister chuckle entered her ear.
"My dragon blade will pierce straight through you..."
The voice became colder and darker.
"So... think carefully."
"And think carefully about the cubs inside your belly too."
Su Qinglan froze in place, her heart slamming against her ribs like a war drum. The air in the dimly lit room felt thick, heavy with danger. Just moments ago, everything had seemed ordinary. Now, her blood ran cold.
Her eyes locked onto Yue Lian, who had been sobbing loudly only seconds before.
The girl’s tears stopped abruptly, as if cut by a knife. Yue Lian sat there with a pale, bloodless face, her shoulders trembling.
But her eyes... Those eyes held a deep grudge and a digging glare aimed straight at Su Qinglan, full of loathing.
Su Qinglan’s expression twisted into something ferocious. Her brows were knitted tightly, and her lips were pressed into a thin line.
She knew. She knew Yue Lian was one of the reasons for this sudden trap.
A low, amused chuckle came from the man standing right behind her. The sound sent chills crawling down her spine.
"So ferocious," he murmured, his voice smooth yet dangerous. "This is exactly what I like about you the most."
Sweat beaded on Su Qinglan’s temples. Her hand instinctively moved to her swollen belly, holding it lightly.
The baby inside kicked hard, as if sensing the threat.
"Fucking hell," she thought. "I should not have come here." Why did she step into this room? Now she was trapped.
Gritting her teeth, she forced her voice out, cold and steady. "What do you want?"
The man behind her chuckled again, this time lower, almost intimate. "Definitely you."
Anger surged through Su Qinglan like boiling oil. Her blood pressure spiked, making her vision blur at the edges. She ground her teeth harder.
"Rong Yanchen. Don’t push your luck."
The man stepped closer. A smile bloomed on his face.
"Su Qinglan You haven’t even seen my face, yet you recognize me so easily. Can I think... is this the love you have for me? That you can recognize me even in another world?"
His voice carried a mischievous tone, but Su Qinglan felt nothing but disgust.
If not for the sharp point pressing against her back, she would have slammed her elbow into his chest. His hot breath fanned across her neck, making the fine hairs there stand up in pure revulsion.
Rong Yanchen was clearly amused.
He had changed his appearance completely...new clothes, altered voice, even the way he carried himself. Yet she had known him instantly.
How? he wondered silently.
Since she had already seen through him, there was no point pretending anymore.
"Then follow me silently, my sweet female," he whispered, his lips brushing dangerously close to her ear.
"Or I don’t know when my hand might slip."
Su Qinglan stiffened.
"Aren’t you afraid that my beast husband will come barging in here if you dare to go further?"
Rong Yanchen suddenly laughed, a deep, mocking sound that echoed in the quiet room.
"You mean that lion beastman? The one who can’t even compare to my power?" He took a deep breath, his tone dripping with arrogance.
"Female, I am far more powerful than him. Why don’t you leave him? Come to me. I will make you my female, the queen of Fox Beast City."
He leaned in even closer, his voice turning into a sinister whisper.
"That lion beastman is nothing but an eighth-rank warrior. I am a ninth-rank lord. How can you even compare us? The weak lion would not have realized I was here. Even now, he is still waiting outside for you, completely unaware."
