When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 88 - United

Chapter 88: United

Lin Huanhuan held his hand and smiled sweetly. “Because we’re family!”

“But I’m not your mate. There’s nothing between us—”

Before he could finish, Lin Huanhuan stopped him with her lips.

She kissed him gently and carefully on the lips.

His lips were thin, soft, and a little cold like summer ice cream.

Lin Huanhuan couldn’t help but lick his lips.

Sang Ye shuddered.

Before he could come back to his senses, Lin Huanhuan quickly retreated and said with a red face, “I’ve already kissed you. You’ll be mine from now on. How dare you say that you have nothing to do with me?”

Shuang Yun quietly gave Huanhuan a thumbs up. This roguish skill was beautifully used!

Sang Ye froze in place.

He looked at Huanhuan’s shy but sweet face, then at Bai Di and Shuang Yun’s relieved smiles. It felt like a dream. It was too good to be true.

Lin Huanhuan’s face was already red, but she still braced herself and pretended to be an experienced person. She said calmly, “The kiss just now was a formality. After I give birth to the child in my stomach, we’ll officially mate.”

Sang Ye stared at her blankly.

When he didn’t respond, Huanhuan couldn’t help but frown slightly. “Aren’t you willing?”

Sang Ye immediately came back to his senses and blurted out, “I’m willing!”

After that, a faint blush appeared on his pale face. He added quietly but firmly, “As long as I can stay by your side, I’ll do anything you say.”

As if afraid he would go back on his word, Lin Huanhuan quickly took out a silver ring and put it on his ring finger.

“This is a contractual ring. If you wear the ring, you’ll be my family. Don’t even think about going back on your word!”

Sang Ye closed his fingers and gently rubbed the ring with his thumb. His black eyes were lowered. “I’ll never regret it.”

After drinking the medicinal soup, all the beasts who returned did not get sick.

It was still raining outside, so the beasts couldn’t go out hunting. They gathered and chatted.

Mu Ye was a young and strong male beast. He usually liked to tell stories. He was also one of the 20 male beasts Shuang Yun had brought out this time.

He was very honored to be able to help the tribe leader defeat the four snake beasts!

Under everyone’s gaze, Mu Ye excitedly talked about his achievements in the battle against the oracles.

“Those four snake beasts were especially ferocious. There was a thunderstorm, and they almost overturned the entire forest! We were chased until we were about to be eaten by the four snake beasts. We were already prepared to die with them. At the critical moment, Patriarch Shuang Yun suddenly thought of a way to deal with the snake beasts. Take a guess what it was.”

The beasts went along with him and asked, “What was it?”

The wolf cubs circled Mu Ye and laughed especially loudly. “Uncle is making up stories again!”

Mu Ye glared at them. “I’m telling the truth this time!”

The wolf cubs laughed. “Hahahaha!”

Mu Ye flew into a rage out of humiliation and shouted at Mu Xiang, “Sister, quickly take these brats away! Don’t let them stay here and stop me from speaking!”

Mu Xiang smiled and pulled the wolf cubs behind her. “It’s rare for your uncle to be a hero. Give him some face and let him finish the story. Otherwise, he won’t be able to sleep all night.”

At this moment, not only the wolf cubs, but even the beasts who were watching and listening to the story laughed.

Mu Ye was so angry that his face turned red. “Sister, are you still my biological sister?!”

Mu Xiang ruffled his short brown hair and laughed. “Okay, okay. Keep telling the story. We’ll get out of your way.”

Hence, Mu Ye continued to tell his story with pa.s.sion.

At this moment, in Huanhuan’s house, the family of four was also discussing the oracles.

Bai Di said in a low voice, “That temple has a very high status in the beast cities. Compared to a slightly weaker beastmaster, the temple would even be higher in ranking than that beastmaster. If they find out that we killed four oracles, they’ll definitely take revenge on us.”

Shuang Yun said, “We killed all four oracles. Without anyone to inform them, the Dark Moon Temple shouldn’t know about the death of the oracles for the time being. During this period of time, I’ll train the male beasts in the tribe and make sufficient preparations for battle.”

Lin Huanhuan said, “You’ll definitely be injured if you fight. I have to collect some more herbs as backup.”

Shuang Yun said, “If we really fight, Huanhuan, hide in the cellar with the female and the wolf cubs.”

Lin Huanhuan patted her chest and promised, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of the females and the wolf cubs!”

Bai Di thought about it some more. “In that case, we can dig the cellar wider. It’d be best if we can dig a secret pa.s.sage in case we need it.”

Shuang Yun agreed. “Alright!”

Sang Ye watched them discuss seriously, and his heart warmed.

Ever since he fled the temple, he’d sealed his heart. Those betrayals had scarred him so deeply that he thought he’d never trust anyone again.

But Huanhuan’s appearance was like a ray of dawn that lit up his entire world.

For the first time, he tasted the feeling of being trusted and protected.

Sang Ye moved his lips. “I’ve caused you trouble. As long as I return to the temple…”

Lin Huanhuan interrupted him. “You’re already wearing my ring, yet you still want to escape? No way!”

Bai Di also said, “We’ve already killed the oracles anyway. Even if you go back, the Dark Moon Temple won’t let us go. Why die for nothing?”

Shuang Yun nodded. “That’s right! At this point, your decision can’t change the situation. Why don’t you stay and face it with us?”

Lin Huanhuan held Sang Ye’s hand. “We’re family. We have to be united in times of crisis. No one can run!”

Sang Ye grabbed her hand.

Her fingers were delicate and small. He held them tightly in his hand.

He thought, ‘I’ve already given you a choice. If you insist on keeping me, I’ll have to stay by your side for the rest of my life. Whether I live or die, don’t even think about getting rid of me!’

Sang Ye said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Lin Huanhuan smiled. “That’s more like it!”

After that, they discussed things for a while. It was almost lunchtime when the discussion ended.

Bai Di went to cook, while Lin Huanhuan prepared to help boil the fire.

She had just turned around when she suddenly heard Sang Ye say, “I didn’t steal the holy artifact, and I didn’t kill the chief priest.”

Lin Huanhuan involuntarily stopped and turned to look at Sang Ye.

He lowered his eyes. His long dark hair fell down his face, making his skin look even paler. “I was framed, but no one believed me. They wanted to burn me to death. I had to escape the temple and escape from them.”
