When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 838 - 838 Are You Afraid?

Chapter 838 - 838 Are You Afraid?

838 Are You Afraid?

“No.” Bai Di walked over. “We don’t have any evidence. If we arrest him now, things will definitely blow up later. It doesn’t matter if we suffer a little, but Huanhuan is about to inherit the position of prophet. If others accuse her of killing the innocent, that’ll definitely attract bad public opinion.”

Xue Ling asked, “Then are we supposed to let them go just like that?”

“Of course not.”

“So what are you saying?”

Instead of answering directly, Bai Di stroked Huanhuan’s head. “It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”

“But we haven’t finished discussing it, have we?”

“Leave it to the three of us. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Huanhuan trusted Bai Di a lot. Hearing him say that, she didn’t ask further questions. She got up and walked into the bedroom to sleep in peace.

That night, the residence of the high priest of the Dark Moon Temple caught fire. Although the high priest, Wu Huo, was lucky enough to escape, his clothes and hair were burned. He looked very disheveled.

For the next two days, Huanhuan stayed in the house and did not go out.

Even so, she was attacked three times in a row.

Fortunately, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling were strong enough. Coupled with the fact that they were prepared, they did not let those a.s.sa.s.sins take advantage of them.

Those killers all returned in failure.

The night before the ceremony, Huanhuan was still alive and kicking.

Leng Xiao and Shuang Jing came looking for her.

“The ceremony will be held at the altar at the top of the mountain. Lady Huanhuan, you have to go up the mountain in advance. Tomorrow morning, you can set off from the temple to the top of the mountain.”

Huanhuan had partic.i.p.ated in the ceremony once. With her previous experience, she agreed readily. “Sure, we’ll go up the mountain now.”

They quickly packed their things and went out.

As luck would have it, they encountered another a.s.sa.s.sination attempt along the way.

The number of a.s.sa.s.sins this time was much higher than the previous few.

Leng Xiao and Shuang Jing did not stand by and do nothing. They joined the battle with Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling.

Other than Sang Ye and Huanhuan, everyone else transformed into their beast forms and was fighting the a.s.sa.s.sins.

Sang Ye carried Huanhuan and jumped up the tree.

The two of them hid in the dense leaves, but even so, they were still discovered.

Two killers rushed forward and grabbed Huanhuan’s head with their sharp claws!

Sang Ye hugged Huanhuan with one hand and grabbed the tree trunk with the other. He turned around coolly, causing the attacks of the two killers to miss.

After missing their target, they continued to pursue it.

Sang Ye raised Huanhuan and placed her on the branch above. Then, he turned around and kicked the two killers down.

The two killers were skilled. They quickly stood back up after landing.

However, compared to Sang Ye, they were still a step slower.

Sang Ye rushed forward and grabbed one of their necks with one hand.

There was a m.u.f.fled crack.

Their necks were both broken.

Sang Ye threw away their corpses and turned to climb the tree. He quickly returned to Huanhuan’s side, pulled her into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

“Are you afraid?”

Huanhuan smiled and said, “I’m not afraid!”

After all the killers were dealt with, Sang Ye jumped down the tree with Huanhuan in his arms.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Huanhuan let Clement go, and he ate them all.

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, Xue Ling, and Shuang Jing were used to this. Only Leng Xiao looked surprised.

He didn’t expect such a small snake to be able to eat so much.

Even though he was extremely puzzled, he still didn’t ask anything.

The group arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Due to the special restrictions of this mountain, all beasts could not use their beast forms here. Hence, everyone was treated equally. They had to use their human forms and climb up step by step.

At first, Huanhuan could climb up herself, but later on, she was too tired to continue. She lay on Bai Di’s back and let him carry her up.

This mountain path was very long.

Fortunately, everyone was very strong… Of course, everyone other than Huanhuan. They climbed to the 10,000 Beast Temple on the mountainside in one go. Their faces were not red, and they were not panting. They did not even sweat.

Huanhuan jumped off Bai Di’s back.

Jian Yi had long received the news and specially led all the divine servants to wait at the entrance of the temple.

When they saw Huanhuan, they immediately went forward and bowed. “Greetings, Lady Huanhuan.”

Huanhuan waved her hand. “There’s no need to be so polite.”

Jian Yi led the way and led Huanhuan and the others into the 10,000 Beast Temple.

As she crossed the threshold, Huanhuan suddenly heard a crisp wind chime above her head.

She looked up and saw a string of sh.e.l.l wind chimes hanging directly above the door. It was the string of wind chimes that Huanhuan had given to Yin Ji.

She didn’t expect it to still be hanging here after so long.

Seeing that she was staring at the string of wind chimes, Jian Yi immediately explained, “The prophet left this behind. If you don’t like it, we’ll put it away now.”

“There’s no need. Let it continue to hang here.”

“Alright.”

The 10,000 Beast Temple was very empty. There was almost no human presence inside. Even the air was filled with a cold aura.

Huanhuan thought to herself that it must have been difficult for Yin Ji to stay here for so many years and still maintain his mental health.

If it were her, she would go crazy from staying in such a cold place every day.

Jian Yi pushed open the door. “This is the bedroom where the prophet used to live. We cleaned it up. Lady Huanhuan, make do here tonight. If you’re dissatisfied, you can tell us at any time.”

Huanhuan walked in to take a look.

The room was very large. There were windows all around. The windows were hung with curtains made of white shark silk. When she pushed open the curtains and looked out, she saw the dense and deep forest.

A cool breeze blew in. Coupled with the quiet atmosphere behind her, it was really like the setting of a horror movie.

Huanhuan touched her arm. “That’s all for tonight.”

“Rest well. Call me if you need anything. My name is Jian Yi.”

“Mhm.”

After Jian Yi left, Bai Di immediately took out blankets from his s.p.a.ce. He quickly made the bed and said, “The temperature on this mountain is relatively low, especially at night. It’ll be much colder than at the foot of the mountain. Huanhuan, you’re weak. Get under the blanket before you catch a cold.”

There was no bed in this house. There was just the polished wooden floor and a blanket on it. That should be where Yin Ji usually rested and slept.

Bai Di added a quilt and blanket to make it softer.

Huanhuan took off her coat, shoes, and socks and crawled under the blanket.

The floor was very s.p.a.cious, so they didn’t have to worry about not being able to sleep on it. The four of them took out four blankets and quilts and spread them on both sides of Huanhuan to make a large common bed.

Bai Di and Shuang Yun lay on Huanhuan’s left, while Sang Ye and Xue Ling lay on Huanhuan’s right.

The five of them slept together.

Shuang Yun’s heart surged. Just as he was about to do something bad, he heard Huanhuan snoring softly.

He turned around and realized that Huanhuan had fallen asleep.

d.a.m.n it!

There was no chance tonight.
