Rong Yanchen casually caught the stone with one hand before stepping closer toward her slowly.
His movements carried a dangerous pressure that made the air inside the cave feel heavier.
Rubbing the side of his neck lightly, clearly remembering the injury she had given him previously, he looked at her messy appearance with darkened eyes.
Her clothes were wrinkled, sweat covered her forehead, and her cheeks were red from anger, yet he only found her even more beautiful and tempting like this.
For one brief moment, Rong Yanchen truly wanted to grab her and kiss those sharp lips hard just to stop her from cursing him endlessly.
But he still controlled himself carefully because there would be many opportunities later.
Right now, the most important thing was bringing her back safely to Fox Beast City. Once they entered his territory, nobody would be able to snatch her away from him anymore.
Thinking about that, Rong Yanchen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had already made many preparations beforehand, especially for one certain person.
Others were not important to him at all, but that man... that dangerous existence was different.
Rong Yanchen had already arranged several things to delay him and keep him occupied long enough.
As long as his plans worked smoothly, he would successfully bring Su Qinglan back with him.
Meanwhile, Su Qinglan stood several steps away while staring at him cautiously, her mind spinning rapidly with countless thoughts. She knew this man was extremely dangerous, far more dangerous than she had imagined before.
Not only was he terrifyingly powerful, but he also knew things he should never have known. That alone made her feel a deep sense of unease growing slowly inside her heart.
The entire day slowly passed inside the dark cave, and Su Qinglan’s emotions became more and more restless with every passing second.
Her fingers kept fidgeting unconsciously as she sat against the cold stone wall, her swollen stomach rising and falling softly while her brows stayed tightly furrowed.
Every now and then, her gaze would land on Rong Yanchen’s figure as he continuously walked in and out of the cave like a ghost carrying countless secrets on his shoulders.
Sometimes he would disappear for a long while, then suddenly return with that same unreadable expression on his handsome face, making Su Qinglan’s heart grow colder and colder.
She could clearly tell this man was planning something huge.
Several times she heard faint voices outside the cave whenever he returned. There were definitely other people helping him.
Every time she tried to quietly move toward the cave entrance, Rong Yanchen’s sharp gaze would instantly sweep toward her, making her stop in place.
That man was watching her every movement like a predator guarding its prey. The suffocating feeling made Su Qinglan extremely irritated.
Her hands unconsciously rested on her stomach as she silently comforted the cubs inside.
"Be good... don’t come out now..."
Her voice was very soft, almost trembling slightly.
She truly did not dare imagine what would happen if she suddenly went into labor here.
The cave was cold, unfamiliar, and filled with danger.
Most importantly, the person beside her was Rong Yanchen...a complete lunatic whose thoughts she could not predict at all.
Even though he kept saying he would not hurt her now, Su Qinglan did not trust a single word coming from his mouth.
Not even one.
Her heart became heavier the more she thought about it.
By now, Hu Yan, Xuan Long, Shi Feng, Han Jue, and everyone else must have already discovered her disappearance.
Maybe they were already searching the entire Dragon Beast City like madmen. Thinking about their expressions when they realized she was gone made her chest ache painfully.
Especially Shi Feng.
He had been waiting outside Yue Lian’s house the whole time.
The moment he realized something was wrong, he must have blamed himself terribly.
Su Qinglan bit her lips tightly as guilt filled her eyes.
"Idiot..." she muttered softly to herself, though she did not even know whether she was scolding Rong Yanchen or herself.
Why had she entered the house so carelessly?
Why had she lowered her guard?
She clearly knew this world was dangerous, yet she still walked straight into a trap while carrying cubs in her belly.
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became.
At that moment, footsteps echoed from outside once again.
