When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 504 - 504 Acting

504 Acting

Huanhuan saw Little Brat walk into the room.

Looking at his dejected expression, Huanhuan knew that he had definitely not succeeded.

She picked him up and kissed his forehead. “Don’t be sad,” she comforted him. “We’re just going to be undercover. If the undercover work isn’t successful, we’ll run.”

“Then what if we don’t succeed in escaping?”

“No, we’ll succeed. We have to believe in ourselves, the prophet, and the future!”

Little Brat looked at her speechlessly. “Do you think you can win by adopting this mentality?”

Huanhuan was very innocent. “What else can we do? We can’t change the outcome. The only thing we can change is our feelings.”

“Aren’t you afraid of death?”

“Of course, I’m afraid,” Huanhuan said with a smile. “But I’m not afraid when I think about dragging Little Brat down with me!”

“…”

Huanhuan coughed lightly. “I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously.”

Little Brat raised his hand and slapped her forehead. “You heartless thing!”

Bai Di and Xue Ling were not back until midnight.

Huanhuan was a little worried about them. She brought Little Brat out to look for Bai Di and Xue Ling.

But after searching the entire temple, Huanhuan could not find Bai Di and Xue Ling.

Could they have gone down the mountain?

Huanhuan wanted to ask someone, but strangely, there was no one on the mountain. She couldn’t even see the patrolling guards.

Where did everyone go?

Huanhuan couldn’t find the two male beasts, so she could only go down the mountain to look for them herself.

The city was not peaceful now. She was worried about Bai Di and Xue Ling’s safety.

At the same time, in the secret chamber of the temple, Bai Di and Xue Ling were lying on the carpet. Bai Di was unconscious, while Xue Ling barely maintained his last trace of consciousness. His eyes widened as he stared at the prophet in front of him. “Why did you do this?” he asked through gritted teeth.

The shark silk veil on the prophet’s face had been removed, revealing a pair of pale golden eyes. “I’m going to arrange for Huanhuan to do something. I can’t let you disturb her.”

His eyes seemed to contain the entire universe. The mysterious nebula kept distorting, forming a bottomless black hole.

Even though Xue Ling tried his best to resist the invasion of sleep, he could not hold on. He closed his eyes unwillingly and fell asleep completely.

The prophet picked up the shark silk veil and blindfolded himself again.

He closed the door and walked away without looking back.

…

Not long after Huanhuan went down the mountain, she immediately sensed that someone was following her.

She lowered her voice. “Little Brat, who’s behind us?”

Little Brat leaned on her shoulder and looked back. “It’s Shuang Jing.”

Huanhuan remembered that guy with a nasty expression and asked, “Is it that divine guard?”

“Yeah.”

Huanhuan wasn’t sure why Shuang Jing was here. She asked, “Why is he following us? Did the prophet ask him to come?”

“Perhaps. The only people in the temple who can mobilize the divine guards are the prophet and the Elders’ Association. Shuang Jing is closer to First Elder. It’s not impossible for him to be here to monitor you.”

Huanhuan clicked her tongue. “They sent a divine guard to monitor me. I didn’t expect First Elder to value me so much.”

At this moment, Huanhuan suddenly noticed a red figure flash past in front of her!

Could it be Xue Ling?!

Huanhuan immediately chased after him.

After chasing him down two streets, the red figure suddenly entered a house by the road.

Huanhuan crawled in too. It was dark in the house, but her current body was that of a dragon. Her vision was very good. Through the darkness, she saw two beasts lying on the ground with their eyes wide open!

There were dead people in this house!

Huanhuan was very surprised. She bent down to check and realized that there were two beasts, a female and a male. They looked like a pair of mates. Their necks had been broken and their flesh was sucked dry.

Could these two beasts have also been killed by the demon?

Just as Huanhuan was feeling puzzled, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open. More than a dozen beast soldiers rushed in, led by First and Second Elder.

Moonlight shone through the doors and windows, illuminating the interior of the house, including the corpses of the two beasts lying on the ground.

First Elder glanced at the situation in the house and finally looked at Huanhuan. He said gloomily, “So, you’re the murderer!”

Huanhuan looked confused.

First Elder ordered, “Arrest him!”

The beast soldiers swarmed forward, preparing to capture the murderer.

Huanhuan immediately spread her wings and flew out of the roof.

Second Elder immediately ordered the beast soldiers to close the city gate and capture the murderer!

Huanhuan flew very quickly, but she was followed by many beast soldiers.

Little Brat leaned on her shoulder and looked back. He clicked his tongue. “There are so many pursuers! It seems that the Elders’ Association has really invested a lot in catching you this time!”

Huanhuan was unhappy. “I was wronged!”

“You can go back and get the prophet to stand up for you.”

Huanhuan said, “We can’t go back.”

“Why?”

Huanhuan remembered what the prophet had told her before, and her expression became complicated. “The prophet wants to create the illusion that I was wronged and forced to join the demons. This is a good opportunity.”

Little Brat was a little surprised. “You mean, the prophet arranged all this?”

“Bai Di and Xue Ling are missing. I went to look for them, then I was led into a house where someone died. Moments after, First Elder broke in with his beast soldiers. He accused me, and now I have to escape the City of 10,000 Beasts… This is all connected. Who else can help but the prophet?”

Little Brat patted her shoulder. “It’s been hard on you.”

Huanhuan flew very quickly and left the City of 10,000 Beasts in the blink of an eye. The number of pursuers behind her had decreased greatly.

Little Brat helped her check the enemy behind her. He said, “You have to be quick. Shuang Jing is about to catch up.”

Ordinary beast soldiers were no match for Huanhuan, but as one of the 12 divine guards, Shuang Jing was very powerful.

He ran quickly below, chasing very closely after Huanhuan.

Huanhuan looked down at him and said, “Since we’re going to put on a show, we have to be realistic.”

Little Brat had a bad feeling. “What do you plan on doing?”

“Fighting!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Huanhuan bent down and rushed forward!

Shuang Jing’s original form was a black leopard.

When he saw his target pouncing at him, he didn’t dodge. He jumped and grabbed at Huanhuan with his sharp claws!

The two sides fought.

In terms of strength, Shuang Jing was slightly inferior to Huanhuan, but Huanhuan had the intention to put on an act and deliberately went easy on him. Hence, the two sides fought very fiercely and looked evenly matched.

Before long, the beast soldiers behind them caught up.

Everyone surrounded Huanhuan.

Huanhuan was quickly injured.

Little Brat saw the wounds on her body and couldn’t help but curse, “Are you putting on a show with your life?!”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” As soon as Huanhuan finished speaking, the black leopard pounced on her and scratched her face.

Immediately, blood gushed out.

Huanhuan exploded. “F*ck you! Didn’t your mother tell you not to slap one’s face?!”
