When Beauty Meets Beasts

Shuang Yin and the others waited outside the forest for a full eight days.

Just as they were about to lose their patience and prepare to enter Nightmare Forest to look for them, they finally saw Bai Di walk out of the forest holding Huanhuan's hand.

Shuang Yin immediately went forward with her five brothers.

"Mom! Big Daddy!"

Huanhuan looked at her six children, who were much taller than her. She was very relieved. "We're done. We can go home now."

Shuang Yin and the others were very happy. They immediately gathered the beast soldiers to pack their bags and prepare to set off home.

When no one was around, Shuang Jing leaned over and asked, "Where's the prophet?"

Huanhuan said slowly, "He's already awake, but he can't leave Nightmare Forest again. Otherwise, he might fall unconscious again."

Shuang Jing was very disappointed to know that he could not see the prophet again, but he did not say anything.

After all, compared to being unconscious, this outcome was already very good.

One couldn't be too greedy.

Shuang Jing said, "Since the prophet can't leave Nightmare Forest again, you'll inherit the position of prophet in the future. It's been almost two months since I left the City of 10,000 Beasts. The news of the prophet's disappearance must have been exposed. You have to return to the City of 10,000 Beasts with me as soon as possible."

Huanhuan shook her head. "I want to go home first."

"But the 10,000 Beast Temple needs you very much—"

Huanhuan interrupted him. "I understand everything. The Elders' Association is eyeing the position of the prophet. They'll definitely take this opportunity to cause trouble."

"Since you understand, why aren't you willing to go back with me to take charge?"

"It's not time yet."

"Then how long will we have to wait?"

Huanhuan smiled. "Since they want to make a fuss, let them. When they can't wrap things up, I want them to beg me to inherit the position of prophet."

Shuang Jing was slightly stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Let's just watch. The Elders' Association isn't the only force in the City of 10,000 Beasts. If we really fight, the Elders' Association might not win."

Shuang Jing seemed to understand. "Are you thinking of standing by the sidelines and reaping the benefits once everything is over?"

"Uh-huh~"

"But we still have many people in the City of 10,000 Beasts. What if they're all poached?"

"It's useless to keep those who can be poached. Why don't we take this opportunity to clean up our people?"

"I understand."

Huanhuan waved her hand, and Shuang Jing tactfully retreated. He did not mention returning to the City of 10,000 Beasts again.

She turned to see Bai Di smiling at her and knew he'd heard her conversation with Shuang Jing.

Huanhuan scratched her cheek in embarrassment. "When did you come? Why didn't you make a sound?"

Bai Di walked up to her and tucked her hair behind her ears. "I saw you talking business with Shuang Jing," he said gently. "How could I disturb you?"

"It wasn't serious. We were just chatting…"

But Bai Di said, "Our Huanhuan is getting stronger. Even the cunning Elder's Association won't be your match."

"You're exaggerating. I was just blindly commanding based on my instincts. I might not be able to defeat the Elders' Association."

"You have to be confident." He picked her up so that she was in his arms. "You're smart and know a lot. More importantly, you have us. We'll always support you and be your strongest support."

Huanhuan hugged his neck and rubbed against his chin. Her tone was filled with attachment. "That's right!"

She looked around to make sure no one was watching her. Then, she whispered, "I don't want to go back to the City of 10,000 Beasts now. Actually, it's because I miss home. I want to go home and reunite with you guys first. As for what I said to Shuang Jing just now, I was just fooling him."

Bai Di laughed. "Shuang Jing would cry if he knew."

"So we can't tell him the truth. We have to keep it a secret."

"Okay."

…

The journey was very boring.

Huanhuan sat on Bai Di's back and stared straight ahead as if in a daze. In fact, she was watching a movie with Little Brat.

One movie took two hours, and they traveled ten hours a day. She watched five movies in a row.

When the sun set and everyone stopped to rest, Huanhuan had already gone crazy from watching movies. Her mouth was crooked, and her eyes were slanted. She looked like an intellectually disabled child.

It was hard for Bai Di not to look down on her. However, not only did he feed her, but he also bathed her.

Huanhuan swore to herself that she would never watch five movies in one go again!

The next morning, Huanhuan felt full of energy after sleeping. She was lively again.

Bai Di started a fire to make breakfast. Huanhuan squatted on the ground and cut fruits. She was preparing to make a fruit platter for the children.

She brought the cut sweet fruits to Bai Di and asked excitedly, "Does it look like a little rabbit?"

Bai Di glanced at it. "Yes."

"Open your mouth."

Bai Di opened his mouth obediently.

Huanhuan stuffed the red 'little rabbit' into his mouth. "Is it sweet?"

Bai Di didn't like fruit, but he nodded with a smile. "It's sweet."

There was a commotion nearby.

Huanhuan immediately looked up and saw Shuang Yin arguing with Quan Rong. No, to be precise, Quan Rong was pursuing Shuang Yin, but Shuang Yin ignored him.

But the colder she was, the angrier Quan Rong became.

"I've been practicing hard recently. Let's compete again today. I'll definitely defeat you!"

Shuang Yin stopped and glanced at him. "Are you sure?"

Quan Rong was furious. "Of course! I can definitely beat you! Definitely!"

"Then let's try."

Hence, the two of them fought in the open space.

The surrounding beasts were no longer surprised, especially Shuang Mu, Shuang Lin, and Shuang Hua. They even patted the wooden buckets and cheered for their big sister.

"Sister, all the best! Kill that puppy!"

Huanhuan turned to Bai Di beside her. "Who taught these three brats to say such things?"

Bai Di said he didn't know.

Huanhuan said hatefully, "It must be Shuang Yun. He's the only one at home who likes to speak crudely. Watch how I deal with him when I get back!"

Bai Di handed her the soup. "It's a little hot. Drink slowly."

Huanhuan took the broth and ate breakfast while watching the duel performance.

The duel between the two was very short.

Before Huanhuan could finish the soup, Quan Rong was already beaten to the ground and could not fight anymore.

Shuang Yin walked up to him and extended her right hand.

Although Quan Rong groaned, he extended his hand.

Shuang Yin pulled him up. "You're talented, and your reaction speed is good, but your basic skills are too weak, especially your lower body. It's very unstable. You need more training."

Her first two sentences praised Quan Rong, but with every word she said after that, his handsome face darkened.

By the time she finished speaking, his handsome face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

'Bastard Shuang Yin! How dare you underestimate me?!'
