When Beauty Meets Beasts

Shuang Yun raised his hand. "Wait! My wife and children aren't murderers. They don't kill people for no reason. Is there a misunderstanding?"

Cang Yi retorted without hesitation, "What misunderstanding can there be? My subordinates saw with their own eyes that Quan Rong was killed by your wife and children!"

"Even if my wife and children really killed someone, the other party must have done something wrong first. Otherwise, with my wife's temper, she would never kill anyone unless she had to."

Cang Yi was furious on the spot. "Are you saying that my brother deserved to die?!"

"Don't be angry. I don't know the truth yet. If you want revenge, can we talk about it after I figure out the truth?"

Cang Yi suppressed his anger. "How are you going to find out?"

"Well, of course, I have my ways. It's not convenient for me to tell you. If you're willing to believe me, you can rest outside the city for a day. I'll give you a satisfactory answer at this time tomorrow."

Cang Yi looked at him suspiciously. "You're not up to no good, are you?"

Shuang Yun chuckled. "This is my territory. If I really want to do anything to you, I can just attack. Why would I go through so much trouble?"

Cang Yi thought for a moment and finally decided to wait another day.

In any case, they were already here. It was fine to wait another day.

Moreover, they had been traveling through the night these past few days and were exhausted. Everyone needed to rest.

Shuang Yun got someone to bring some food and water to the canine beasts.

At night, Cang Yi sat on the hill and looked at the city gate of Rock City while chewing the roasted meat.

His trusted aide walked over and said in a low voice, "We've already distributed the food and water to our people according to your instructions. Fortunately, we have the food sent by the Rock Wolf Tribe. Otherwise, we definitely wouldn't have enough food."

This was the territory of Rock City. Even if they wanted to hunt, they had to get the permission of the beast king in advance. Shuang Yun taking the initiative to get someone to deliver food had indeed resolved their urgent need.

Cang Yi swallowed the meat in his mouth, his eyes still fixed on the city gate not far away. "Shuang Yun sure is someone!"

If his brother hadn't been killed, he might have been happy to be friends with Shuang Yun.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world.

After Shuang Yun returned home, he immediately wrote a letter and placed it in his space to ask what was going on with Cang Yi's brother.

Coincidentally, Huanhuan had been digging into her space for sunflower seeds recently, so she took out the letter.

She read the letter and was surprised.

Unexpectedly, Cang Yi had already come looking for them!

He was too fast!

Huanhuan quickly wrote that Quan Rong was not dead. She called Quan Rong over and asked him to pluck a handful of dog fur from his body for her.

Quan Rong was very unhappy. "Why do you want my dog fur?"

"Your brother thinks you're dead and went to Rock City to cause trouble. He wants to avenge you. Give me your dog fur. I have to let him know you're not dead and you're alive so that there won't be a conflict between the two sides."

Quan Rong was shocked. "My brother went to Rock City?!"

Quan Rong was shocked. "My brother went to Rock City?!"

Quan Rong was just following Huanhuang and the rest for fun. He didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. He quickly handed her a tuft of his fur. "Are you going to send someone to Rock City to deliver a letter? Is there enough time?"

Huanhuan took the dog fur and smiled mysteriously. "I naturally have my ways."

After Quan Rong walked away, she put the letter and the dog fur into her space.

Shuang Yun was waiting for her reply.

As soon as she put the letter in her space, Shuang Yun immediately took it out and read it from beginning to end.

He laughed in spite of himself.

The next morning, Shuang Yun left the city again.

At this moment, the canine beasts had already woken up and were cooking breakfast. When they saw Shuang Yun, they immediately put down their work and assumed a defensive posture.

Cang Yi pushed through the crowd and walked out. "You're early!"

Shuang Yun did not care about the defense of those canine beasts at all. He walked over slowly and looked at the breakfast they had prepared. It was all wild fruits and jerky. They were mixed together and boiled in water. Not to mention the taste, just the appearance of it was unappetizing.

"Is this what you eat in the morning? Can you eat your fill?"

Cang Yi frowned. "You don't have to worry about what we eat."

Shuang Yun glanced at him, then at the dog beasts behind him. He clicked his tongue. "Look at your tribesmen. They're all sallow and thin from hunger. If you continue like this, you'll faint from hunger without us doing anything."

In order to travel, the canine beasts barely rested along the way. They mainly ate the dried meat they brought with them. Occasionally, they would hunt prey on the way and eat them raw. They had no time to cook them.

Now, all of them were disheveled and looked like refugees. They were indeed in a sorry state.

Cang Yi retorted angrily, "We like to eat these things. What does it have to do with you?!"

Shuang Yun said, "Don't be so rash. I came to look for you today to invite you into the city as guests. There's a lot of delicious food in the city. Eat as much as you want."

Hearing this, Cang Yi was even more puzzled. "You're inviting us to dinner? Why? We're clearly enemies!"

"We have no grudges in the past and no grievances now. How are we enemies?"

"My brother died at the hands of your wife and children!"

"Your brother isn't dead."

Cang Yi didn't believe him. "Don't talk nonsense here! My brother was killed long ago. My subordinates saw it with their own eyes!"

Shuang Yun asked, "Then call your subordinates out. I'll ask them in detail."

Cang Yi waved his hand and called out the three servants who had followed Cang Rong.

The three of them quickly explained how Young Master Quan Rong had been bitten by a poisonous snake.

After hearing this, Shuang Yun asked, "You only saw Quan Rong being bitten by a snake, but you didn't see him die from the poison, right?"

The three of them hesitated and nodded.

"Since you didn't see him die with your own eyes, how can you be sure that he's dead?"

"That snake venom is very powerful. One of our companions was bitten and died on the spot. Young Master was bitten. He must have..."

"That's not necessarily true."

After listening to them for a long time, Cang Yi roughly guessed that Shuang Yun must know something. He went straight to the point and asked, "What do you know? Just say it."

Shuang Yun took out a handful of golden dog fur.

"Take a look at this first."

Cang Yi took the dog fur, and his expression changed. "This is Cang Rong's dog fur!"

"Your brother almost died after being bitten by a poisonous snake, but he was lucky enough to be saved by my daughter and wife. He's with our wife and children now. They should be able to reach Rock City in two days."
