Chapter 679 - 679 She's Really Back!

679 She’s Really Back!

When she returned to the bedroom that night, Huanhuan wrote a letter and put it in her s.p.a.ce. She wrote about what had happened at home recently, including how Eggy had almost gotten engaged to more than 20 male beasts.

When Xue Ling, who was thousands of miles away, saw this letter, he was so shocked that he almost fell from the sky.

d.a.m.n, there were actually fearless brats who dared to have ideas about his precious daughter!

Xue Ling was very angry. He shouted at the feather beasts behind him, “Hurry up and stop dawdling!”

He had to find Bai Di and the others quickly.

The sooner he finished his work, the sooner he could go home and protect his daughter from being kidnapped!

The feather beasts, who were about to find a place to rest for the night, had no choice but to stop thinking about resting. Under the urging of their elder, they continued to fly.

Huanhuan did not know that the letter she had casually written had forced the feather beasts to travel day and night.

Today, she was prepared to meet the Divine Wood clan.

Shuang Yin and Yun Hui accompanied her down the mountain to the temple.

The Divine Wood clan had long gathered in the hall on the first floor of the temple. They were talking in groups. When they saw Huanhuan, they retreated and took the initiative to make way.

They had long known that Huanhuan had returned, but they were still suspicious. How could a dead person return? They didn’t believe it!

Huanhuan was wearing a veiled hat on her head, and her face was covered by the snow silk veil. She couldn’t be seen clearly.

Everyone’s curiosity could not be satisfied, so they could only discuss in private.

They whispered to each other while pointing at Huanhuan.

Huanhuan walked through the crowd without looking sideways. Many questions like ‘Isn’t she dead?’, ‘Is she really Lin Huanhuan?’, and ‘Don’t tell me she’s an impostor?’ entered her ears.

She walked to the lotus pond and stopped. She turned around and glanced at everyone.

These beasts had no choice but to escape to the rock mountain to take refuge because of the destruction of Divine Wood City. After more than ten years, they had shed their caution and uneasiness. They had become radiant.

Their clothes had also changed drastically. The animal hide skirts and straw shoes that they wore before had been replaced with soft cotton long robes and leather boots.

After Huanhuan stood still, she smiled. “It seems that you’ve been doing well all these years.”

The others couldn’t see her face clearly and only heard her voice. It was as soft and sweet as before.

This made everyone who had been discussing immediately quiet down.

Their doubts just now were shattered by this familiar voice.

They had to face the truth. Huanhuan was not dead.

She was really back!

Ah Gui was also present. He smiled coolly. “It’s all thanks to you and Shuang Yun that our Divine Wood clan can have a foothold in Rock City.”

Huanhuan looked around. “Where’s Xue Hui?”

“She’s upstairs.”

As soon as Ah Gui finished speaking, Xue Hui slowly walked down the stairs.

The snow-white stairs made of Sound Jade emitted a pleasant tune with every step.

Xue Hui was wearing a white shoulder-length dress today. The soft white shark silk wrapped around her body, emphasizing her curves. Her honey-colored skin contrasted with her deep facial features, making her look even more mysterious and seductive.

She walked over amidst the harmonious tune, and everyone present knelt on one knee while calling out respectfully in unison.

“Greetings, Lady Xue Hui.”

At this moment, other than Xue Hui, only Huanhuan, Shuang Yin, and Yun Hui were standing in the entire hall.

Oh, and Eggy was standing too. She was quietly standing on Huanhuan’s shoulder.

In the s.p.a.cious and bright temple, Huanhuan’s gaze met Xue Hui’s in mid-air.

Huanhuan narrowed her eyes and looked thoughtful.

Xue Hui’s lips curled into a charming smile. “There’s no need to be so polite. Everyone, please get up.”

With her permission, everyone stood up.

Xue Hui smiled at Huanhuan. “I’m sure you’ve heard that in the years you were away, I was the temporary high priest. Everyone is willing to give me face and always kneels when they see me. I’ve tried to dissuade them, but they wouldn’t listen. I hope you don’t mind.”

Huanhuan was very calm. “It’s just a small matter.”

Shuang Yin and Yun Hui stood quietly behind Huanhuan. They didn’t seem to notice the undercurrent at the scene and remained silent.

Even Eggy, who usually liked to chatter, seemed especially quiet and obedient today.

Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Lady Xue Hui, why did you call us over today?”

Xue Hui nodded slightly. “I do have something important to announce to everyone.”

Everyone looked curious.

Xue Hui turned slightly, indicating that everyone should look at Huanhuan beside her.

“I believe everyone knows her. This female is Lin Huanhuan. She’s the mate of His Majesty the Beast King and was once the witch doctor of the Rock Wolf Tribe. After the rock mountain expanded into Rock City, she should have been promoted to the position of high priest according to tradition. However, because of many accidents and coincidences, she had no choice but to leave Rock City. Now that she’s finally back, I should return the position of the high priest to her.”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.

Many people shouted agitatedly.

“How can that be? Lady Xue Hui is the best choice for the high priest. No one can replace you!”

“We can’t accept anyone becoming the high priest except Lady Xue Hui!”

“Lady Xue Hui, don’t leave! We can’t bear to part with you!”

…

Hearing everyone’s cries, Xue Hui was put in a difficult position. “This matter was decided by His Majesty, the Beast King. I can’t change his decision, so please stop talking. This matter ends here. Please let us welcome the new high priest, Huanhuan.”

She smiled and applauded in welcome.

Unfortunately, no one present applauded except her.

Everyone stared at Huanhuan with a conflicted gaze.

Even a blind person could tell that they were very dissatisfied with the new high priest.

However, Xue Hui did not seem to notice the stiff atmosphere at the scene. She smiled and said to Huanhuan, “From now on, you’re the high priest. This temple is yours. Do you have anything to say?”

Huanhuan had seen many storms. This small scene in front of her was nothing to her.

She folded her hands in her sleeves and said calmly, “I’m sure you’ve heard what Xue Hui just said. I’m mates with the beast king. In other words, not only am I the high priest here, but I’m also the queen. I have absolute authority in this place.”

She deliberately paused, her gaze flitting across everyone’s faces.

“If I want you to get lost, it’s just a matter of giving out the order.”

Everyone froze.

Even Xue Hui looked surprised.

She did not expect Huanhuan to be so merciless.
