When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 724 - 724 Huanhuan

Chapter 724 - 724 Huanhuan

724 Huanhuan

In the deepest part of the abyss stood a gloomy and cold palace.

The walls of the palace were covered in black vines, and dark red leaves stretched out like ghost claws. A black crow landed at the palace door.

The moment the crow landed, it turned into a young woman in a black dress.

She raised her hand, her fingernails painted red. She tidied her long black hair. Then, she sashayed into the palace.

The hall was dim. Dozens of puppets stood quietly in the corners on both sides. Their eyes were closed as if they were asleep. However, the woman knew that if she made the slightest move that went against the rules, these puppets would immediately swarm her and tear her into pieces.

These puppets were all the work of their master.

Among them, one puppet was especially different.

The doll was very small, only slightly larger than the palm of an adult male beast. She was wearing a beautiful little dress, and her long black hair was tied in a loose braid that hung behind her head. She was wearing a small wreath that she had gotten somewhere.

She was a new doll made by Master recently. Master liked her very much and even named her Little Huan.

When Little Huan saw that there were guests, she immediately strode forward with her short legs. She looked up at the other party and asked crisply, “Are you here to look for Xing Chen?”

In the entire palace, only she dared to call Master by his name.

The black crow had never understood what charm this little doll had to make Master look at her differently.

She stared at the doll in front of her and looked around. She didn’t think the doll was any special apart from her beautiful looks.

In terms of combat strength and reaction speed, Little Huan was weaker than other puppets.

She was as fragile as a seedling. A gentle squeeze would shatter her.

Such a small thing was not suitable to survive in the abyss.

The black crow raised her hand to touch Little Huan’s face and smiled. “Is Master here? I have something to report.”

Little Huan was embarra.s.sed by the touch.

She remembered that Xing Chen didn’t like anyone touching her. If he found out that her face had been touched, he would be furious.

Little Huan took two steps back and raised her hand to cover her face. “Wait here. I’ll talk to Xing Chen.”

“Mhm.”

Little Huan ran away quickly.

She stretched her short legs and struggled up the steps.

Xing Chen lay in the blood pool with his eyes closed. Countless Soul-Devouring Vines extended from his body and kept sucking the blood in the pool.

Little Huan lay beside the blood pool and stuck her head out to look at Xing Chen. She tried to call his name twice.

Xing Chen opened his eyes, revealing amber pupils.

If anyone else dared to disturb him while he was resting, they would have been killed by him.

But at this moment, he only said softly, “What’s the matter?”

“Black Crow came to look for you. She said she has something to report to you.”

“Tell her to wait.”

“Oh.”

Little Huan was clearly used to Xing Chen’s coldness. She was not surprised to hear this answer. She was about to turn around when she heard Xing Chen call out to her.

“Where are you going?”

Little Huan stopped. “I’ll pa.s.s your message to Black Crow.”

“You’re not a servant. You don’t have to do these errands. Stay here quietly and accompany me. Don’t go anywhere.”

“Alright,” Little Huan agreed obediently. She sat beside the blood pool and rested her chin on her hands. She looked at Xing Chen without blinking. “Can I ask you a question?”

Xing Chen said, “Speak.”

“Why am I different from other puppets?”

Ever since Little Huan opened her eyes, she could speak and walk freely. She could also think independently. She was not like other puppets who had to receive orders from Xing Chen to move.

She looked too much like a living person.

Sometimes, even she couldn’t help but wonder if she was a puppet or a living person.

Xing Chen thought that the biggest difference between her and the other puppets was that she had a soul.

When he made her, he had placed Huanhuan’s soul fragment inside.

She could be considered a clone of Huanhuan.

That was why he named her Little Huan.

Xing Chen said indifferently, “There’s nothing different about you. You’re all puppets I made. You can only be controlled by me, so you have to remember to be obedient and never disobey my orders.”

Xiao Huan nodded obediently. “Okay, I’ll listen to you!”

Xing Chen moved his fingers.

The Soul-Devouring Vines extended beyond the blood pool, wrapped around Xiao Huan’s waist, and sent her to Xing Chen.

Little Huan was very small and light. Even if she sat on Xing Chen’s chest, she wouldn’t be too heavy.

She carefully poked the Soul-Devouring Vines on Xing Chen.

The Soul-Devouring Vines trembled slightly, then wrapped around her fingers and rubbed against her wrist.

If it were an ordinary person’s skin, it would have long been scratched by the barbs on the surface of the Soul-Devouring Vines. However, Little Huan’s skin was made of special materials. It was very strong and soft. Even after being rubbed by the Soul-Devouring Vines a few times, she was still unharmed.

Little Huan and the Soul-Devouring Vines were having a good time.

The Soul-Devouring Vines snaked up her arm and into her sleeve, tickling Little Huan’s armpit.

She immediately laughed until she lay on Xing Chen’s body. She couldn’t help but tremble, and tears were about to fall. “No, don’t touch there. It tickles! Hahahaha!”

The Soul-Devouring Vines deliberately tickled her waist. She couldn’t stop laughing.

“Baddie, Xing Chen is a baddie. He’s bullying me! Hahaha!”

Xing Chen watched her quietly. Seeing that she was laughing so hard that she was almost out of breath, he retracted the Soul-Devouring Vines.

He stroked her head. “You think I’m a bad guy?”

Huanhuan wiped the tears from her eyes and snorted. “You bullied me just now and tickled me. You’re especially bad!”

“I have a worse side. Do you want to see it?”

Huanhuan said she didn’t want to see it.

But Xing Chen still picked her up and placed her in front of him.

They were so close that their noses touched.

Little Huan looked at his amber eyes, which were so close to hers. She sincerely thought that his eyes were really the most beautiful eyes in the world. She couldn’t help but reach out and hug his face. She leaned over and kissed the corner of his eye.

After the kiss, she covered her blus.h.i.+ng face.

Xing Chen’s lips curled, and his eyes were bright. “Huanhuan.”

Little Huan lowered her hand and tilted her head. “Are you calling me?”

Xing Chen leaned forward, took her lips, and kissed her gently.

Their lips just touched, and they didn’t do anything else, but Little Huan’s heart involuntarily raced. She felt her cheeks burn.

She pressed her chest and said in a daze, “I feel so strange now.”

“Strange how?”

Little Huan was very confused. “My heart is beating so fast as if it’s going to jump out at any moment.”

“Really? I want to hear it.”

Xing Chen leaned over and pressed his ear to her chest.

There was no heartbeat.

That made sense. How could a puppet have a heartbeat?

However, Xing Chen still smiled and said, “It’s indeed beating very quickly. It seems that you like me very much too.”

Little Huan blushed and replied, “Of course! You’re my favorite person!”
