When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 701 Paper Can't Cover Fire

Bai Di and Xue Ling spent day and night rushing back to Rock City.

They found Shuang Yin and learned that Huanhuan had been kidnapped. They confirmed the reason for the uneasiness in their hearts, and they immediately called for help.

When they walked out of Rock City, they bumped into Huanhuan, Sang Ye, and Yun Hui.

The two sides met at the city gate and were stunned.

Huanhuan was very surprised. "Why are you here?"

According to their normal speed, Bai Di and Xue Ling should still be on their way back.

Bai Di and Xue Ling strode forward and scooped her up to examine her carefully. They found no wounds on her and just saw that she had become smaller.

They were relieved to see that she was safe.

Bai Di said, "We sensed that you were in danger, so we rushed back early."

"I have Little Black with me, so I'm fine." Huanhuan looked very happy. "I brought Sang Ye back too!"

Bai Di and Xue Ling followed her gaze and saw Sang Ye standing beside them. Their emotions were mixed, but they didn't show it on their faces. They nodded slightly in greeting.

Bai Di picked Huanhuan up. "Let's go back. We'll talk at home."

He carried Huanhuan and walked in front. Xue Ling was a step behind. He looked at Sang Ye beside him and asked in a low voice, "Why are you back?"

Sang Ye's face was expressionless. "Huanhuan asked me to come back."

"The situation is a little complicated now. You shouldn't have come back…" Xue Ling looked helpless. "Forget it. You're already back. It's useless to say this. We can only take it one step at a time."

Huanhuan was telling Bai Di about her journey and did not hear the conversation between the two behind her.

After knowing that her mother had returned safely, Shuang Yin could finally relax.

She had been blaming herself these days. It was her carelessness that had led to her mother being kidnapped by bad people.

If anything happened to her mother, she would live with guilt and self-reproach for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, her mother was fine…

Eggy flapped her wings and flew over. She burrowed into her mother's arms and beat her chest with her wings. "Mom, you're so bad. You actually chased me away!"

When she saw her mother being kidnapped, she was so anxious that her bird feathers were about to burn.

What was even more annoying was that Yun Hui refused to let her look for her mother and forcefully sent her home.

She was especially angry. When she saw Yun Hui, she didn't even look him in the eye!

Huanhuan stroked Eggy's feathers and apologized sincerely. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I'll never chase you away again."

"I don't believe it." Eggy had inherited her father's cunning trait. She wouldn't be fooled so easily. "You're just coaxing me. You're a bad mother!"

Huanhuan was caught between laughter and tears.

Xue Ling leaned over. "Since you don't like Mom, come into my arms. I'll dote on you~"

Eggy faced him with her chubby butt. "You're worse than Mom!"

Xue Ling was hurt. "I didn't chase you away. Why am I bad?"

"As long as someone wants to snatch Mom from me, they're a bad person!"

Xue Ling: "…"

Why was this little girl so shrewd?!

It took Huanhuan a lot of effort to coax Eggy. Coincidentally, Eggy was a little tired too. Shuang Yin sent her upstairs to rest.

When she placed Eggy on the bed, she heard Eggy talking while lying on the bed with her eyes closed, "When I become stronger in the future, I'll protect you…"

Shuang Yin thought, 'That's my expectation for myself too.'

She thought she was strong enough to protect her family. She didn't expect her mother to be kidnapped from under her nose. This was undoubtedly a slap in Shuang Yin's face.

It woke her up immediately.

She was still very weak. She still needed to work hard to not let those enemies who wanted to hurt their family have any chance!

When Shuang Yin walked downstairs, she heard Huanhuan asking about the Divine Wood clan.

Bai Di and Xue Ling had just returned to the city. Shuang Yin didn't know much about this.

"I got someone to lock Xue Hui up in jail. The Divine Wood clan has also been subdued. How do you want to punish them?"

Huanhuan sat on Bai Di's thigh, her expression serious. "I want to see them first."

"Why should you see them? They're a bunch of greedy ingrates." When Xue Ling said this, there was indescribable hostility.

If not for those ingrates, Huanhuan would not have almost lost her life.

In his opinion, he should skin those ingrates alive and let them taste the consequences of betrayal!

Shuang Yin also said, "Mom, those guys are too evil. They deserve to die. Don't be soft-hearted anymore."

Her mother was good at everything, but she was a little soft and easily bullied.

Huanhuan explained softly, "I'm not going to be soft-hearted. I want to ask them something."

"What do you want to know, Mom? I can send someone to interrogate them."

"I want to know how they avoided the backlash of the contract."

The reason why Huanhuan accepted the Divine Wood clan into Rock City back then was mainly that they had signed a contract. As long as the Divine Wood clan hurt Huanhuan, their souls would suffer the backlash of the contract.

But strangely, Xue Hui and Ah Gui had kidnapped her with ill intentions, but there was no sign of backlash.

There was definitely something strange about this!

Shuang Yin nodded. "I'll investigate."

Bai Di made dinner. The entire family gathered around the table to eat. Huanhuan leaned close to Sang Ye and said excitedly, "When Shuang Yun, Dos, Tres, and Little Monster return, we'll bring Big White and Little White back. That way, our family can reunite!"

Ever since Huanhuan died once, this family had been scattered. They had never been completely reunited.

Huanhuan didn't like this.

Since they were family, they should live together.

Bai Di placed the shelled prawns in Huanhuan's bowl. "Let's eat first," he said gently. "We'll discuss this later."

After eating and drinking her fill, Huanhuan returned to her room. Xue Ling boiled water for her to bathe in.

He wanted to shamelessly have a bath with Huanhuan, but Huanhuan refused.

Xue Ling left in disappointment.

When he walked downstairs, he saw Bai Di talking to Sang Ye.

Bai Di said, "We haven't told Huanhuan about what you did before."

Sang Ye said, "I guessed it."

If she knew, she wouldn't have been so kind to him.

Bai Di said, "Paper can't cover fire."

Sang Ye was silent for a moment. "I'll leave later. I won't implicate you."

"I have no intention of chasing you away. I just want to remind you," Bai Di said seriously. "This is where ordinary beasts live. You have to hide your identity and not be discovered."

"Mhm."

Bai Di patted his shoulder. "Huanhuan will be sad if you leave. You can't reveal your identity, even if it's for her sake."
