When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 167 - Divorce

Chapter 167: Divorce

Ma Qing’s sudden death interrupted Shuang Yun and Bai Di’s interrogation plan.

Many questions could not be answered. They could only put these doubts aside for the time being and think of ways to find the answers in the future.

At the same time, Mu Xiang and Jiu Yuan began their divorce procedures.

Yes, Mu Xiang had learned the word ‘divorce’ from Huanhuan.

Mu Xiang was the one who suggested the divorce, but Jiu Yuan refused.

The two of them ended up in front of Shuang Yun because of this.

Shuang Yun tried to persuade them not to separate. He comforted them and wanted them to reconcile.

Unfortunately, Mu Xiang did not appreciate his efforts. Seeing that Shuang Yun was unwilling to help make a decision, she went straight to Lin Huanhuan.

Mu Xiang said, “Huanhuan, don’t you have Forgetting Water? Give me some. Jiu Yuan and I will drink it and completely sever ties!”

Huanhuan was helpless. “Calm down. Forgetting Water isn’t a good thing. Although it can cut off the mate relationship between you two, it also has certain side effects.”

“What side effects?”

“Everything in this world is positive and negative. Forgetting Water can let you terminate your mate relationship, but it can also make you forget each other’s existence. If your body’s endurance isn’t strong enough, it can even damage your senses so that you won’t be able to feel emotions anymore.”

Mu Xiang froze.

......

Without emotions, what was the point of living?

Huanhuan sighed. “I haven’t developed Forgetting Water yet, but I’ve already gathered all the herbs. As long as you give me two more days, I’ll be able to make it. I suggest you go back and consider it. If you’re sure you want to terminate your mate relationship with Jiu Yuan, come and look for me in two days.”

Mu Xiang was stunned again. “Why aren’t you persuading me to reconcile with Jiu Yuan?”

Everyone had persuaded her to forgive Jiu Yuan, but Huanhuan did not.

“Marriage is like shoes. You’re the only one who knows if they’re comfortable on your feet. No one else can empathize. If you really think this marriage is unbearable for you, then it’ll be a relief for both of you to separate.”

Huanhuan paused and suddenly asked, “If you separate, what will happen to your children?”

Mu Xiang immediately said, “They’ll follow me, of course!”

“Will you have to find another mate in the future?”

Mu Xiang hesitated. “I think so. After all, I’m still so young. I can’t stay single until I’m old.”

“Then will your future mate be good to these children?”

Mu Xiang said firmly, “Of course!”

Huanhuan said, “That’s not necessarily true. Have you heard the story of the Snow Prince?”

Mu Xiang shook her head. “No.”

“A long time ago, the Snow Prince’s stepfather was jealous of his good looks, so he lured the Snow Prince out of the palace. He planned to kill him, but the Snow Prince was lucky enough to escape. However, his stepfather refused to let him go. He tried to seduce him with poisoned apples, and the prince was ultimately poisoned…”

Huanhuan had adapted Snow White into Snow Prince. Mu Xiang was stunned.

At the end, when the story was over, Huanhuan sighed. “Look, the Snow Prince’s stepfather was so vicious. If you accidentally find such a vicious mate in the future, won’t the poor wolf cubs be miserable?”

Mu Xiang was still immersed in the story of the Snow Prince. Her mind was filled with images of the stepfather luring the Snow Prince to eat poisonous apples. She couldn’t help but say, “You’re right.”

“In addition to the problematic stepfather, there’s also the problem of the environment the Snow Prince grew up in. If a child grows up in a dysfunctional family, their physical and mental health will be more or less affected. For example, Shuang Yun. It’s because his father died too early that his personality became very awkward and arrogant. Previously, he had a serious hatred for females and almost became a bachelor for life. You don’t want your children to be unable to find mates in the future, do you?”

To beasts, mating and reproduction were the most important things in life!

As soon as Mu Xiang heard that her children might not be able to find mates in the future, she immediately took it seriously. “I definitely can’t let my children become single forever!”

Huanhuan guided her patiently. “That’s why you have to create a good environment for them to grow up. Pay more attention to their personalities and nurture them. Try to let them grow into outstanding male beasts who are popular with females.”

“Yes!” Mu Xiang clenched her fists, her fighting spirit burning. “I must raise them all into the best male beasts!”

“Are you still going to divorce, then?”

“I’m not getting a divorce!” Mu Xiang stood up. “I’m going back to take care of the children. Let’s talk again when we’re free!”

With that, she quickly went home.

Huanhuan picked up her cup and took a sip of water to moisten her throat.

She felt quite proud for having accomplished something.

After Mu Xiang returned, she stopped bringing up divorce and listed several conditions, asking Jiu Yuan to agree with them. Otherwise, she wouldn’t let him in.

One of the conditions was that he could not lie to her again.

Jiu Yuan just wanted to live a good life with Mu Xiang. He didn’t care about anything else. He agreed to Mu Xiang’s requests without even blinking.

They finally made up.

However, ever since then, whenever Mu Xiang had the chance, she would come and talk to Huanhuan about parenting.

Actually, Huanhuan did not have much experience in this area. She was still a newbie and was learning to be a mother for the first time.

She could only tell Mu Xiang some of the parenting stories she had seen on TV and the internet. She began to tell all kinds of melodramatic family ethics stories.

Mu Xiang listened with relish and even shared some of the gossips in the tribe with her.

For example, the people in the house next door quarreled with each other today. Yesterday, the people in the house opposite even fought with each other.

As Huanhuan listened, an idea popped into her mind.

“Why don’t we set up a neighborhood committee?”

She told Shuang Yun about this idea and specially asked Mu Xiang to manage the neighborhood committee.

Shuang Yun had always supported Huanhuan’s idea unconditionally. He immediately got someone to mark out a few rooms on the 12th floor as the office of the neighborhood committee. Then, he promoted Mu Xiang to the position of the president of the neighborhood committee.

Mu Xiang became the first female to officially hold a management position in the tribe.

It immediately became big news in the tribe.

Mu Xiang was also very excited. She specially put on the armband that Huanhuan had prepared. She led the wolf cubs around the tribe every day to deal with those trivial conflicts.

If anyone caused trouble, she would roar.

In the blink of an eye, Jiu Yuan would rush over with the enforcement team and capture all those troublemakers who were not cooperating with his wife’s work. They would then be deeply educated about morals!
