When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 505 - 505 Demon Transaction

505 Demon Transaction

In the 10,000 Beasts Temple, First Elder quickly walked in and bowed to the prophet.

First Elder said, “Lord Prophet, we’ve found the true murderer who killed the innocent in the city.”

The prophet gently stroked the small ball made from animal bones in his hand. His voice was cold. “Oh?”

“The murderer is Yu Tian. We caught him at the scene of the crime. We have certified physical evidence.”

“Then where is he?”

“He ran away. I’ve already sent troops after him. I believe we’ll be able to capture him soon.”

The prophet replied casually, “Alright.”

First Elder hesitated and said, “Although Yu Tian escaped, the two male beasts who came with her should still be around. Why don’t we search the entire city? If we can catch them, I believe that even if Yu Tian escapes in the end, he can only come back obediently and walk into our trap.”

“Yes, I’ll leave this to you.”

“Alright!”

First Elder turned and walked out of the temple. As he stepped out the door, he heard a clear clang above his head. He immediately looked up and saw a string of shell wind chimes hanging on the door.

When did wind chimes appear here?

He suppressed his doubts and strode out, quickly walking away.

The prophet’s gaze went through the shark silk veil to the wind chimes.

The crisp sound of shells hitting crystals drifted through the quiet and empty temple.

…

After Huanhuan shook off Shuang Jing, she broke through the encirclement and flew in the direction of the demons.

There were many wounds on her body. Some of them were even bleeding. It was a shocking sight.

Little Brat asked, “Do you want to stop and bandage your wound?”

However, Huanhuan said, “We can’t bandage them. We have to make them look more ferocious. That way, we can fool Xing Chen better.”

“You’re torturing yourself.”

Huanhuan sighed. “I have no choice. If I don’t treat myself harshly now and Xing Chen sees through me later, you and I will both be doomed.”

“I’m afraid you’ll bleed to death before you fly to the demons.”

“Don’t worry, I deliberately let them hurt me just now. These wounds look terrifying, but they won’t kill me. They just hurt a little.”

Not long after Lin Huanhuan left the City of 10,000 Beasts, a handsome young beast flew over.

He landed on the ground and folded his wings. His black robe made him look even taller and slender. His long black hair was slightly curled, and the ends of his hair had a faint dark golden luster. His facial features were deep.

This handsome young beast was the black dragon who had rushed over from Dragon Island.

After obtaining the inheritance of the dragon race, he could transform into human form.

Now, he was in his human form.

Little Black asked about the whereabouts of the silver dragon in the City of 10,000 Beasts, only to learn that Yu Tian was being chased as a murder suspect.

Now that Yu Tian had become a fugitive, the 10,000 Beasts Temple had issued a wanted order. The entire beast continent was after her.

Little Black immediately chased after Yu Tian.

He had to find the silver dragon and keep her safe before those pursuers caught her!

…

In the demon tribe, after Sang Ye swallowed the snake gallbladder, he experienced three days of torture that made him wish he was dead. His body finally successfully digested the powerful strength his uncle had forcefully given him and successfully advanced his soul beast to 10 stars.

He even exceeded Han Ying’s original star level and became the number one beast of the demon race.

The snake-shaped star pattern on Sang Ye’s back had completely turned black.

This also meant that from now on, he would never be able to return to being an ordinary beast.

Sang Ye inherited his uncle’s position and became the new commander of the demons.

He followed Tao Wei to see Father.

This was the first time Sang Ye had seen Xing Chen. He sat high up and looked down at all living beings.

Tao Wei bowed respectfully and introduced Sang Ye to Father.

Xing Chen’s gaze landed on Sang Ye, and he sized him up for a moment. “You’re one of Huanhuan’s mates?”

Sang Ye replied, “Yes.”

“If you inherit the position of commander now, it means you can never return to her side in the future. Can you bear to do that?”

Sang Ye lowered his eyes and did not answer the question.

Xing Chen said, “From the looks of it, you can’t bear to.”

Tao Wei quickly said, “Father, Sang Ye is still young and a little emotional. As time passes, he’ll naturally get over it.”

Xing Chen smiled, his eyes filled with indifference.

He didn’t care about the change of power in the demons or what his beasts thought.

Xing Chen said casually, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

Tao Wei agreed. “We’ll take our leave now.”

However, Sang Ye looked at Xing Chen’s face and suddenly asked, “Is Huanhuan’s body in your hands?”

Tao Wei quickly pulled him away, indicating that he shouldn’t ask these questions.

However, Sang Ye refused to lower his head. He continued to stare at Xing Chen’s face, waiting for his answer.

Xing Chen replied casually, “Yes.”

“Can I see her?”

“No.” Xing Chen refused bluntly.

“Why?”

“There’s no reason. Huanhuan belongs to me. Only I can see her. No one else can.”

Xing Chen expressed his possessiveness very openly.

Sang Ye frowned slightly. “Her body is useless to you.”

“I don’t need her for anything. I just want to see her every day.” Xing Chen’s gaze swept across his face. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly smiled maliciously. “It’s possible for me to let you see Huanhuan. You just need to agree to one condition.”

“What condition?”

“Huanhuan has four mates. In addition to you, I remember that there are three other guys. As long as you kill any one of them, I’ll let you see Huanhuan.”

Sang Ye: “…”

Xing Chen found this sudden suggestion interesting. “Your strength has already reached 10 stars. Even if you can’t kill Xue Ling, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to kill Shuang Yun and Bai Di. How about it? Do you want to kill them for Huanhuan?”

Sang Ye looked at him coldly. “You’re indeed a demon.”

Tao Wei’s heart skipped a beat. “Don’t talk to Father like that,” he advised softly.

Instead of being angry, Xing Chen smiled. “Huanhuan is in the hands of a demon like me. If you want to see her, you can only make a deal with a demon like me.”

Sang Ye was silent for a long time before saying, “I hope you won’t go back on your word.”

With that, he turned and left.

Tao Wei bade farewell to Xing Chen before leaving.

Xing Chen returned to the Sea of Illusions. The island was still floating alone on the black sea. Huanhuan’s body lay on the stone bed. Her fair face glowed faintly in the night. She was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off her.

Xing Chen gently stroked her face and smiled softly. “Let’s make a bet. Guess if Sang Ye will kill Shuang Yun or Bai Di for you?”

Huanhuan did not move. She did not react.

Xing Chen’s eyes were filled with regret. “If only you could open your eyes now and see with your own eyes how your family, which you once cherished, are going to kill each other. That scene would definitely be very interesting.”
