When Beauty Meets Beasts-Chapter 829 - Nothing Good!

829 Nothing Good!

Shuang Yin, Shuang Mu, and Shuang Hua, and Shuang Lin didn’t want to be separated from them.

However, they also knew that this was impossible. After all, there had to be someone watching over Rock City. If the four of them followed their parents to the City of 10,000 Beasts, wouldn’t Rock City become an ownerless city?

Compared to the unwillingness of the four siblings, Bai An and Bai Hao were especially calm.

In any case, they had been separated from their parents for nearly 20 years. Another few months was nothing.

Huanhuan called Bai An and Bai Di over. “We have a mission for you.”

“Mom, feel free to order us.”

“Go to Sun City and tell Bai Luo that I’ve already confirmed the candidate for the high priest of the Sun God Temple.”

Bai Hao quickly asked, “Who is it?”

“It’s the second elder.”

Bai An and Bai Hao were stunned. They never expected their mother to choose the second elder to be the successor of the high priest.

Bai Hao hesitated. “But the second elder is from the Elders’ Association…”

“It’s precisely because of this that we have to send him to the Sun God Temple. At that time, outsiders will think that the Elders’ Association wants to directly interfere in the matters of medium-sized beast cities. The pressure on the Elders’ Association will be even greater. We can sit on the sidelines and watch them fight. Moreover, the second elder is now under the surveillance of a puppet worm. He’ll be obedient to me in everything. We don’t have to worry that he’ll turn against us and do bad things.”

Bai An and Bai Hao were enlightened. “We’ll do it now.”

“Be careful on the way. If Bai Luo asks who chose the second elder to be the high priest, tell him it was arranged by the Elders’ Association. This is internal news, so no one else knows yet. Tell him that I specially sent you to inform him so that he can be prepared. As for the rest, you don’t know anything.”

“Got it!”

After Bai An and Bai Hao left, Huanhuan stretched and prepared to see what delicious food Bai Di had prepared.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she bumped into Yun Hui.

Yun Hui seemed to be waiting for her here. When she came out, he immediately said, “Can we talk in private?”

There seemed to be quite a lot of people who wanted to talk to her alone recently…

Huanhuan smiled. “Sure.”

After the two of them sat down, Huanhuan took out sunflower seeds, peanuts, and fruits from her space.

“Let’s talk while we eat.”

With that, she picked up a sweet fruit and ate it.

Yun Hui’s eyes darkened when he saw that her lips had become plump after getting wet from the juice.

He was silent for a moment before saying, “I want to ask you something.”

“Go ahead.”

“Are you sure you can’t accept me?”

Huanhuan stopped and looked at him in surprise. “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days. I’ve done everything I can, but why can’t you accept me? I’ve carefully compared myself to Bai Di and the others. I don’t think I’m inferior to them. I can’t figure it out, so I have to ask you.”

This question was very serious. Huanhuan put down the half-eaten sweet fruit in her hand and thought about it seriously before trying to speak.

“I just treat you as family. There’s a difference between family and lovers.”

“Can’t family become lovers?”

“In my heart, you were my junior, and you’re now my brother. As for the future… no one can say for sure.”

Yun Hui asked, “Then do I still have a chance?”

Instead of answering, Huanhuan asked, “What will happen to you if I say no?”

Yun Hui was silent for a long time before saying, “I think I might go away for a while.”

Huanhuan said without hesitation, “Then leave.”

Yun Hui’s gaze froze. “Are you chasing me away?”

“I’m not chasing you away. I just think you’re too young. You need to grow up and see more of the world. It’ll take at least 20 years. If you’d still like to have me in 20 years, come back to me. I might consider changing my mind.”

20 years was an extremely long time for humans.

However, to the extremely long-lived dragons, it was only a blink of an eye.

Yun Hui thought carefully.

It was only 20 years. It would pass quickly. At that time, Huanhuan would no longer have a reason to reject him. He could pursue her more legitimately.

He nodded in agreement. “Okay. I’ll look for you in 20 years.”

Huanhuan was relieved and agreed with a smile. “Okay.”

She picked up the half-eaten sweet fruit and asked as she ate, “When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow morning.”

That afternoon, Bai An and Bai Hao had already left Rock City to deliver a letter to Sun City.

The next morning, Huanhuan and the others were also preparing to set off.

They parted ways with Yun Hui at the city gate.

Before leaving, Yun Hui cut off a strand of Huanhuan’s hair and hid it in the hide bag he carried with him. He said solemnly, “You have to wait for me to return.”

Huanhuan nodded. “Okay.”

Yun Hui displayed his wings and flew into the air. He circled above Huanhuan’s head twice before leaving.

Huanhuan watched him go.

She didn’t look away until he was out of sight. She turned to Bai Di and the others. “Let’s go too.”

In addition to Huanhuan and her four mates, the team heading to the City of 10,000 Beasts this time included Clement, Eggy, and Shuang Jing, as well as the second elder and the 20-odd followers he had brought with him.

In addition, Shuang Yun also mobilized 60 beast soldiers from Rock City to escort them to the City of 10,000 Beasts.

There were nearly a hundred of them.

The group set off for the City of 10,000 Beasts.

Due to the puppet worm, the second elder was especially afraid of Huanhuan. Every time he saw her appear, he would take a detour, afraid that he would encounter her head-on.

However, the more he wanted to hide, the more Huanhuan wanted to appear in front of him.

For example, at this moment, everyone had stopped to rest and prepare to eat and drink to replenish their strength. The second elder had just stuffed a piece of jerky into his mouth when he saw Huanhuan suddenly appear in front of him.

He was so frightened that he couldn’t breathe. The jerky got caught in his throat, making him cough hard.

Cough, cough, cough!

He looked like he was about to cough up his entire lungs.

Huanhuan advised, “I haven’t said anything. Why are you so nervous?”

It took a lot of effort for the second elder to swallow the jerky. He said weakly, “I beg you not to suddenly appear without a word in the future, okay? If this happens again, I’ll really be frightened to death by you.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll be careful next time.” Huanhuan picked up the jerky in his hand and tasted it. It didn’t taste good at all. It was far inferior to the jerky Bai Di made!

She threw the jerky back at him and said, “I have something to tell you.”

Every time she said this, nothing good would happen!

The second elder’s eyelids twitched as he asked in fear, “W-What is it?”
