502 I Like It Very Much

Not only Huanhuan, but even Bai Di and Xue Ling felt that the three beasts did look like they had been killed by demons.

Huanhuan frowned. “But this is the City of 10,000 Beasts. Logically speaking, no demon should dare to come here.”

Xue Ling smiled faintly. “That might not be the case. Have you forgotten Bi Huan and Jiang Bo? One of them is a high priest, while the other is a witch doctor. Logically speaking, they’re the kind of beasts who’re least likely to be related to the demons. But in the end? They were already demonized. They just hid it too well and no one realized it.”

One could never judge a book by its cover.

In the huge City of 10,000 Beasts, there were so many beasts. They did not know who was human and who was a demon.

Bai Di thought for a moment. “If there are really demons in the city, it won’t be peaceful for a while. It’s best if we leave as soon as possible.”

Huanhuan nodded in agreement.

But before she left, she had to meet the prophet.

They returned to the 10,000 Beasts Temple. The hall was still cold and cheerless.

Huanhuan sat on the futon and saw the prophet sitting opposite her. She thought that she would really be lonely if she were to live in such a deserted place.

The prophet noticed her gaze and raised his head slightly. “Why are you looking at me?”

Huanhuan said, “Nothing.”

It was already nighttime. Huanhuan, Bai Di, and Xue Ling had gone to rest. She came to see the prophet alone.

She and the prophet were alone in the empty hall.

The prophet’s voice was cold and distant. “I heard you went down the mountain to play during the day?”

Huanhuan nodded slowly. “Yes, I went shopping and bought some stuff. By the way, I bought two things for you.”

She took two things from the hide pouch she always carried. They were a small ball and a wind chime.

The small ball was carved from white animal bones. It was hollow on the inside. It looked rather exquisite and small.

She pinched the ball and twisted it gently.

There was another small ball made from animal bones inside. This small ball could be opened and contained some charcoal.

As Huanhuan lit the charcoal, she said, “When I bought it, there was only the bigger ball on the outside. I got the owner of the stall to make this small ball on the spot. You can put some charcoal in it. Be careful not to put too much in case it overflows.”

She covered the animal bone ball and tightened her fingers around it. Then, she placed it in the prophet’s hand.

After the charcoal was lit, the heat pa.s.sed through the animal bone and reached the prophet’s palm, making him feel especially warm.

Huanhuan said slowly, “You bled so much to save Little Brat previously. You don’t look too good. You have to take care of your body. You can carry this small ball with you. It’s quite good for warming your hands.”

The prophet closed his fingers and clenched the small ball made from animal bones.

“Thank you.”

Huanhuan picked up the string of wind chimes again.

She had seen it while shopping and thought it was beautiful, so she bought it.

The wind chimes were made of small sh.e.l.ls. The colorful sh.e.l.ls were strung together with fis.h.i.+ng lines. In order to make them look more exquisite, Huanhuan added some small transparent crystals to them.

She swayed it slightly, and the wind chimes made a clear, pleasant sound that was especially pleasant in the night wind.

The originally cold and quiet temple was strangely more lively now.

Huanhuan smiled and asked, “These are wind chimes. Do you like them?”

The prophet’s eyes were not very good, but his ears were very sharp. The sound of the wind chimes made his lips curl involuntarily.

“I like them very much.”

Huanhuan said, “Then I’ll hang them for you. I’ll hang them at the door, okay?”

The prophet nodded. “Okay.”

Huanhuan stood up and ran to the door.

The door was very tall. Even though Huanhuan was already 1.8 meters tall, she still couldn’t reach it.

She spread her wings and flew up a little so that she could easily hang the wind chimes on the door.

The prophet sat where he was without moving. His eyes were covered by the shark silk veil, but his gaze could still accurately land on Huanhuan.

His cold fingertips gently rubbed the ball made from animal bones, and they gradually warmed.

After Huanhuan hung the wind chimes, she gently struck them. A clear and crisp sound drifted out.

She turned to him. “Can you hear it?”

The prophet said, “I can.”

“That’s good.”

Huanhuan landed on the ground and returned to the futon to sit down. “Your temple is too deserted. If you’re free in the future, you can plant some flowers and plants or raise a few small animals as pets. Don’t always be alone. It’s so boring.”

The prophet listened to her ramble with a faint smile on his handsome face.

He said, “I understand.”

Huanhuan suddenly asked, “As a prophet, can you find a mate?”

The prophet thought for a moment. “It should be possible.”

“Then you can find a female you like to be your mate. They say that a young partner is an old companion. If you have a companion, your days will be much livelier.”

The prophet gently rubbed the small ball of animal bones in his palm. “I don’t like lively environments.”

“Well, I hope you can have someone to accompany you when you need to be taken care of and are alone. They can help take care of you so that you won’t feel lonely.”

The prophet said indifferently, “We’ll see.”

Huanhuan nodded slowly and smiled. “That’s right. Love can’t be forced. When fate decides the time, you’ll naturally be able to find a companion.”

The prophet suddenly asked, “Are you so good to everyone?”

Huanhuan was puzzled. “Huh?”

Her reaction made the prophet silent for a moment. He said ambiguously, “If it’s not a male beast whom you find important, don’t treat him too well. It’s easy to misunderstand you.”

Huanhuan disagreed. “It’s just a normal display of concern between friends. What misunderstanding can there be?”

“Not every female cares about male beasts as much as you do. Your concern will make the other party think you have a crush on him.”

Huanhuan blinked. “A crush? Surely not?”

The prophet sighed helplessly. “In short, if you’re not facing the beasts you like in the future, you’d better not be too concerned about them, lest there be a misunderstanding.”

Huanhuan touched her nose hesitantly. “Alright.”

She changed the subject.

“On our way back today, we saw a family of three that were killed. It looks like they were killed by the demons.”

The prophet nodded. “I’ve heard about it.”

Seeing that he seemed to know what was going on, Huanhuan was a little relieved. With the prophet’s ability, it shouldn’t be a problem to catch the murderer.

She said, “We’ve rested enough and want to leave the City of 10,000 Beasts as soon as possible.”

“What’s the hurry?”

Huanhuan smiled. “I want to recover as soon as possible and be reunited with my family.”

The prophet thought for a moment, then said softly, “Your body is in Xing Chen’s hands. If you want to get your body back, you definitely can’t avoid confronting Xing Chen.”
