When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 635 Speak Of The Devil

"We were able to destroy the dragon this time mainly because of a few friends who came from afar. To thank them, I've decided to give them a gift."

The dragon emperor glanced at the attendant behind him, who immediately walked over with a golden lacquer box.

He opened the box, and there were badges inside.

Allen looked surprised. "The hero badge! That's the highest honor among the dragons!"

An attendant was ordered by the dragon emperor to invite Shuang Yun and Xue Ling to collect their badges.

Logically speaking, they were family. They just had to send a representative up to collect the badges.

However, Cynthia had seen Xue Ling and Shuang Yun before. If the two of them showed their faces, it was easy to alert the other party. Just as they were hesitating, Bai Di walked back with Huanhuan.

Xue Ling immediately said, "Bai Di, go up and collect the badges on our behalf."

Bai Di had never met Cynthia. She probably didn't know him. It was safest for him to go over.

Bai Di left Huanhuan in the care of Xue Ling and Shuang Yun, then left with the attendant.

Under everyone's gaze, he slowly walked up to the Dragon Emperor and reached out to take the heavy golden lacquer box.

The dragon emperor smiled and said, "It's all thanks to you that we were able to destroy the evil dragon this time. You're heroes of our dragon race. Remember to keep the badges. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to us with the badges. As long as we can help, we'll do our best."

"Thank you!"

They chatted some more.

At this moment, Huanhuan was sitting in a chair and feeding Eggy snacks.

Shuang Yun and Xue Ling sat beside her. The two of them looked at the mother and daughter from time to time.

After eating and drinking her fill, Eggy wanted to relieve herself.

Huanhuan was worried about her leaving alone. She jumped off the stool and said to Shuang Yun and Xue Ling, "I'll take Eggy out for a while. I'll be back soon."

Shuang Yun was worried about them. "I'll go with you."

The three of them walked out of the banquet hall. There was a garden outside. No one could be seen. It was very quiet.

Huanhuan found a secluded corner and placed Egg on the ground.

Eggy turned her back on them, wiggled her hips, and began to do her business.

At this moment, Huanhuan suddenly saw a familiar figure running over.

Under the bright moonlight, Huanhuan could see the person's appearance clearly. She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's Cyril! Shuang Yun, follow him and see where he's going."

Perhaps they could follow Cyril and find out where the black dragon was.

Shuang Yun broke into a run in the direction Cyril had gone.

Huanhuan wanted to follow, but Eggy was still here. She couldn't leave her behind.

She turned to look at Eggy. "Are you done?"

Eggy called out twice. "Chirp chirp!"

Although mother and daughter were connected, Huanhuan could not understand what her daughter meant by this. She could only wait patiently.

She kept walking back and forth, praying that Shuang Yun would catch Cyril. It would be best if he could find out where Little Black was.

At that moment, she suddenly heard Eggy cry out sharply.

"Chirp chirp!!!"

Huanhuan's heart tightened. Without thinking, she rushed in Eggy's direction and realized that the place where Eggy had been standing was empty.

"Eggy!" Huanhuan hurriedly shouted her daughter's name.

However, she did not receive a response from her daughter. Instead, she was hit!

Huanhuan felt someone hit the back of her head. Her vision darkened, and she fainted.

...

Bai Di held the golden lacquer box in one hand and walked up to Xue Ling. His gaze wandered around, but he couldn't find Huanhuan.

He asked where Huanhuan had gone.

"She went out with Eggy. Shuang Yun went with them." Xue Ling paused, looking thoughtful. "They've been gone for a long time. Logically speaking, they should be back soon."

Bai Di felt uneasy.

The few times Huanhuan suddenly disappeared had left a shadow in his heart. Now, as long as Huanhuan was out of his sight for a certain period of time, he would feel especially uneasy.

He was worried that she would suddenly disappear again like the last few times.

Bai Di handed the golden lacquer box to Xue Ling. "I'll go out and look for them."

Xue Ling was quite bored alone in the banquet hall. "I'll go with you."

They were about to leave when Helena hurried over, holding up her gown.

Helena shook the bottle in her hand and asked with a smile, "Father gave me two bottles of good wine. I wonder if you're willing to taste them with me?"

"I'm sorry, but we have some private matters to attend to. We don't have time to drink with you now. Please find someone else."

Bai Di walked toward the door without looking back.

Xue Ling glanced at Helena with a faint smile. The mockery in his gaze was extremely obvious.

This made the very confident Helena feel underestimated.

She raised her chin like a proud swan. "You don't care about me now, but don't come crying to me for forgiveness later!"

Bai Di didn't take her words to heart, but Xue Ling looked thoughtful.

They walked out of the banquet hall and searched the entire garden, but they could not find Huanhuan.

Bai Di's uneasiness grew. "Is Huanhuan in danger?"

"I don't think so. With Shuang Yun by her side, she should be fine. Even if they really encountered danger, with Shuang Yun's strength, he would've at least called out if he couldn't handle it alone."

Speaking of the devil...

Shuang Yun appeared.

He ran up to Bai Di and Xue Ling. His breathing was uneven because he had run too fast. "Where's Huanhuan and Eggy?"

Bai Di asked, "We should be the ones asking you that. Where are Huanhuan and Eggy? Didn't you accompany them out just now?"

"Just now, Huanhuan and I saw Cyril suddenly appear, so I went after him. Huanhuan stayed where she was to take care of Eggy, but when I returned, Huanhuan and Eggy were gone."

Bai Di and Xue Ling's expressions immediately changed.

Xue Ling asked in a low voice, "Then did you manage to catch Cyril?"

"No." Shuang Yun didn't look happy. "He seems familiar with this place. He deliberately led me around several corners before he shook me off."

Bai Di tried to tell himself to calm down and not panic.

However, in the end, he couldn't help but grab Shuang Yun's collar and growl, "I told you to take good care of Huanhuan, but this is how you take care of her?!"

His usual gentleness and consideration had vanished at this moment, revealing his beast nature.

His blue eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

Xue Ling reached out and pulled Bai Di away. "Don't be anxious. The most important thing now is to find Huanhuan and Eggy. We'll talk about the rest later."

Bai Di shook Shuang Yun off.

Shuang Yun slapped himself hard and gritted his teeth.

"I didn't do my job well this time. After I find Huanhuan, I'll accept any punishment!"
