Under Huanhuan’s puzzled gaze, Xue Hui continued.

“Do you remember the white rock worms I told you about last time? A worm disaster is not a small matter. If I can take this matter to the prophet, he might agree to see me. I’ll mention you in passing.”

Huanhuan’s hope reignited.

She hesitated. “I’m not sure if this will work, but I’ll do my best. Stay here for a while and wait to hear from me.”

Huanhuan was very touched. “I understand. Thank you!”

She stroked her head. “Silly child. You’re my junior. It’s only right that I take care of you.”

Huanhuan felt a little guilty when she heard this.

She was not from the Divine Wood clan at all. If Xue Hui knew that she had been deceived, she would definitely be very angry and disappointed.

Seeing that Huanhuan was silent with her head lowered, Xue Hui thought that she was still feeling down and comforted her kindly.

Huanhuan’s mood gradually improved.

She asked, “Can you check on Little Lotus and Little Green for me? They were taken by the temple. I’m worried about them now.”

“Little Lotus and Little Green?”

“Little Lotus is a skullcap lotus. Xue Ling gave it to me. Little Green is a creeper. They were captured to protect me. If they’re killed because of this, I’ll never be able to forgive myself.”

The Divine Wood clan was born with a great affinity for plants, and they could communicate with plants through special methods.

As such, they were also known as messengers of nature.

Although Xue Hui was surprised to learn that Huanhuan had two plants, this was not special in the Divine Wood clan.

She nodded. “I understand. I’ll take a look at Little Lotus and Little Green for you when I can. If possible, I’ll try to get them out.”

Huanhuan’s eyes turned red as she hurriedly said, “Thank you! Thank you!”

“Silly child, don’t cry.” Xue Hui looked around and frowned at the dirty environment. “It’s so dirty. No one comes to clean it.”

Huanhuan smiled bitterly. “This is a death cell. The prisoners who are imprisoned here must have committed serious crimes. In the end, they’ll all be executed. Who cares if the place where these dying people live is clean?”

“I’ll get the jailer to come and clean this place up later.”

“It doesn’t matter. You’ve done enough for me.”

Xue Hui took out a hide bundle and handed it to her. “There’s some food in here. Take it. Eat it when you’re hungry.”

Huanhuan took the heavy bundle. “You’re so good to me. I don’t know how to repay you.”

“I brought you to the 10,000 Beasts Temple. I should be partly responsible for what happened to you here. You don’t have to feel burdened.”

As soon as she finished speaking, they heard the person in charge of the prison above them.

“Lord Envoy, your time is up. You should leave.”

Xue Hui was unhappy. “Give me a little longer!”

The prison guard quickly said, “First Elder specially instructed me that you shouldn’t spend longer than an hourglass. If I do, I’ll be punished. Please do me a favor and don’t make things difficult for us.”

Xue Hui frowned and was about to reprimand him when Huanhuan stopped her.

Huanhuan said, “Go first. Don’t offend First Elder over this small matter.”

“But you’re here alone…”

“I’ll be fine.” Huanhuan tried to smile. “Don’t worry!”

“Alright, I’ll get going then. I’ll see you another day.”

“Okay, bye!”

Huanhuan watched as Xue Hui flew up, grabbed the ceiling, then folded her wings and crawled out.

The stone door was closed again.

Huanhuan was the only one left in the cell.

She opened the hide bundle in her hand and realized that it was filled with fresh fruits.

Before long, the person in charge of the prison entered the cell with two beast slaves. He cleaned the floor and left her a wrinkled old animal hide.

These were all arranged by Xue Hui. The person in charge had received a lot of benefits from her.

As the saying went, people would go where the money went. The prison guard was much more polite to Huanhuan. He said, “I’m right above. If you need anything, just call me.”

Huanhuan nodded to show that she understood.

The person in charge left with the servants.

Huanhuan took out a new hide from her space and laid it on the old hide.

She sat down and took out the stone slab from her space to write about her wrongful imprisonment.

She hoped that Bai Di and the others would react quickly when they found out about this so that they wouldn’t be implicated by her.

After doing this, Huanhuan became bored again.

She casually picked up a fruit and scanned the surrounding walls. Suddenly, she remembered a song that suited the occasion. She couldn’t help but sing, “Holding cornbread in my hand, there’s not a single drop of oil in the vegetables, life in prison is so painful~”

The system couldn’t take it anymore. “Stop singing.”

Huanhuan wiped the tears from her eyes. “I’m already in such a miserable state. I want to sing a song to ease the atmosphere, but you won’t let me. Do you have any humanity left?”

“This song is getting worse. Can’t you sing something cheerful?”

Hence, Huanhuan sang ‘Little Donkey’.

After singing it a dozen times, the system interrupted her in pain and begged, “You should sing ‘Sorrow, Worry’.”

Huanhuan said, “The tone and lyrics of ‘Sorrow, Worry’ are terrible. ‘Little Donkey’ is more cheerful. After singing it, I feel much better.”

The system held it in for a long time before saying, “As long as you’re happy.”

After Huanhuan finished singing ‘Little Donkey’ for the 18th time, she suddenly had an idea. She slapped her thigh and shouted, “I remember!”

The system trembled in fear. “Please don’t suddenly exclaim like that. Daddy is old and his heart isn’t good. He’ll get sick from fright!”

Huanhuan said excitedly, “I remember where I saw the prophet!”

“Huh?”

“The last time I was chased by white rock worms and almost drowned after jumping into the Black River, he was the one who saved me!”

The system: “…”

Huanhuan thought for a moment and felt that something was wrong. She quickly waved her hand. “No, no. The Black River is thousands of kilometers away from the City of 10,000 Beasts. The prophet can’t have gone that far. Let me think. I remember that the person who saved me that time was… Little Brat, it was you, right?!”

Her tone rose several degrees at the last few words, and she looked extremely shocked.

The system: “…”

Huanhuan asked, “I didn’t remember it wrong, right? You saved me from the river back then! But why do you look exactly like the prophet? Are you twins?”

The system remained silent.

“Say something.” Huanhuan urged. “At this point, don’t try to bluff your way out.”
