When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 141 - I Like Him A Lot

Chapter 141: I Like Him A Lot

While they were still making their way over, Bai Luo left because he had something going on.

Bai Di and Huanhuan walked into the bedroom where Bai Ming stayed. As soon as they entered, Huanhuan felt that the air inside was very stuffy.

She couldn’t help but frown. “Why are the doors and windows closed so tightly?”

The room was not ventilated. No wonder the room was stuffy.

Bai Di immediately got someone to open the window for some air, but the attendant beside him said, “Our king is sick. He can’t open the window and let the wind in. The high priest instructed it.”

Bai Di frowned imperceptibly at the high priest being mentioned.

An old voice came from inside the house.

“Bai Di, are you back?”

Bai Di hurried in and saw his father lying on the bed.

Bai Di’s father was called Bai Ming.

He was already old. One could vaguely see the magnificence of his youth on his wrinkled face.

His blue eyes were exactly the same as Bai Di’s. They were as gentle and friendly as the sea.

When Huanhuan saw him, it was as if she was seeing what Bai Di would look like a hundred years later. The tension in her heart dissipated in an instant.

Bai Ming was not in good health. He lay on the bed and was covered with a thick animal hide blanket. His voice was gentle and low. “You’ve been away from Sun City for three years and haven’t returned once. I thought you never planned to see me again.”

Bai Di was respectful. “I was delayed by something, so I came back a little late.”

“It’s good that you’re back. No matter what others say, this will always be your home.” Bai Ming coughed lightly. “Did you encounter any difficulties when you suddenly came back this time?”

Bai Di said, “In addition to visiting you this time, I do have something I need your help with.”

“Tell me.”

Bai Di told him about the Dark Moon Temple.

“The Dark Moon Temple has been restless in the past two years and has been playing tricks. The main city probably can’t bear it anymore. I didn’t want to interfere, but since the Dark Moon Temple has bullied you, I definitely can’t stand by and do nothing.”

Bai Ming coughed again.

Bai Di quickly got someone to bring him warm water to drink.

After drinking the water, Bai Ming panted softly and continued, “I’ll get Xiong Shu to bring people to Dark Moon City later to teach the Dark Moon Temple a lesson so that they won’t have the time to cause trouble for the Rock Wolf Tribe.”

“Thank you for your help, Father.”

Bai Ming held his son’s hand tightly and instructed solemnly, “We’re family. No matter when or where, we should be united and help each other. In the future when I’m not around, you and Bai Luo will be left alone. You have to get along well. Don’t hold any grudges against each other.”

Bai Di nodded. “I’ll remember your words.”

“You’ve always been a good child. I trust you.” Bai Ming paused and suddenly asked, “I heard you found a mate?”

Bai Di waved at Huanhuan, who was standing in the doorway. “Come here.”

Huanhuan walked over carefully and smiled sweetly at Bai Ming. “h.e.l.lo, my name is Huanhuan. I’m Bai Di’s mate.”

Bai Ming looked at her face and smiled even more amiably. “This child is quite good-looking. She’s very compatible with you. If your mother were in heaven, she would be very relieved.”

With that, he coughed again.

Bai Di brought him warm water and helped him drink it.

After drinking the water, Bai Ming felt his throat feel better. He said to Huanhuan gently, “Bai Di takes after me. He’s more reserved and dull. He might not be liked by females, but he’s considerate and knows how to take care of people. If he does anything wrong in the future, please forgive him.”

Huanhuan glanced at Bai Di and smiled when she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She said to Bai Ming, “Bai Di is good. I like him a lot.”

Hearing her words, Bai Ming was relieved. At the same time, he was even more satisfied with his little daughter-in-law.

“I hope you can give birth to a few children for him in the future. Unfortunately, my health is too bad. I won’t be able to live for long. I definitely won’t be able to see the birth of the cubs…”

Bai Ming let out a long sigh. He was filled with endless regret.

Huanhuan quickly comforted him. “No, you’ll definitely live to a ripe old age…”

She suddenly remembered that beasts lived longer. The tiger beast in front of her must be more than a hundred years old. She paused and quickly changed her words.

“You’ll definitely live a long life! When the cubs are born, we’d like you to name the children!”

Bai Ming laughed. “You’re really different from the females I’ve seen before. No wonder Bai Di likes you. I know my body well. You don’t have to comfort me. At my age, what haven’t I seen? It’s just death. It’s no big deal.”

With that, he coughed again.

In the end, he coughed out blood!

When the attendant guarding the door saw this scene, his expression changed. He hurriedly shouted at the guards outside the door, “Hurry up and call the high priest over. Our king is coughing blood again!”

The guards immediately ran toward the divine mountain.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Bai Ming coughed hysterically. He was about to die.

Bai Di put his arm around his shoulders and gently helped him ease his breathing. “Father, bear with me. The high priest will be here soon.”

Huanhuan quickly asked, “Do you have warm water?”

Bai Di glanced at the attendant, who immediately understood and brought over a gla.s.s of warm water.

Huanhuan took out dried sh.e.l.lfish gra.s.s, soaked it in the water, and carefully fed it to Bai Ming.

The attendant saw this and couldn’t help but say, “What are you making our king eat? Our king is not in good health. If he eats anything unsuitable, it’ll easily worsen his condition. You’d better not take any action. Let’s wait for the high priest to come—”

Bai Di interrupted him, his voice cold. “Shut up and guard the door. Report if you see the high priest.”

This was the first time Huanhuan had seen Bai Di so fierce. She was surprised.

He usually looked gentle and amiable. No matter what he did, he was calm and considerate. He looked like a different person now.

However, saving Bai Ming was more important now. Huanhuan only shook her head for a moment before retracting her thoughts and not thinking further.

The attendant was frightened by Bai Di’s aura. His face turned pale, and he immediately lowered his head. He retreated from the bedroom in fear.

After drinking the warm water soaked in sh.e.l.lfish gra.s.s, Bai Ming felt his throat feel much better. The coughing symptoms eased a little as well.

Bai Ming raised his heavy eyelids and looked at the pet.i.te and fair female in front of him. He asked slowly, “Do you know medicine?”

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye had reminded Huanhuan not to tell anyone about her medical skills and knowledge, but Bai Ming was Bai Di’s father. He shouldn’t be considered an outsider, right?

Unable to make up her mind, Huanhuan subconsciously looked to Bai Di for guidance.

Bai Di answered his father’s question for Huanhuan.

“Huanhuan is very smart. She didn’t know anything at first. Then, because the old witch doctor in the tribe died and many things happened, she managed to learn a little bit about medicine.”

He said it casually, but the truth was definitely not as simple as he made it sound.
