Chapter 405: Swapping Identities

No matter how long the road was, it would end.

The prophet lowered Huanhuan to the ground. “Go,” he said. “Don’t come back.”

Huanhuan found his words strange. “Why don’t you want me to come again? Don’t you like me?”

“This isn’t the right place for you. Have you forgotten that you’ll be in danger every time you come here?”

Huanhuan immediately said, “But I can survive every time!”

The prophet’s lips curved in spite of himself at her bright smile. “You’re a lucky girl.”

Huanhuan chuckled. “Then I’ll get going. Goodbye.”

“Mhm.”

Huanhuan turned and walked a few steps before suddenly stopping. She looked back at the prophet and saw that he was still standing where he was. His slender figure stood in the night, looking even more lonely and cold.

His eyes were covered by the white shark silk veil, but Huanhuan could still feel his gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat. She waved her arms and smiled. “Go back!”

The prophet smiled. “I’ll go back when you’ve left.”

Huanhuan turned and walked away.

Only when she had completely disappeared into the night did the prophet look away.

He turned away, his face hidden in the night.

On the way back, Huanhuan said as she walked, “I think the prophet is quite good!”

The system said, “You met him twice and you think he’s a good person? You’re too trusting.”

“You don’t understand. It’s a woman’s sixth sense.”

“Hehe, I really don’t understand.”

Huanhuan asked again, “What did you say to the prophet while I was asleep?”

“You really want to know?”

Huanhuan urged, “Don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly!”

“I’m afraid I’ll scare you if I tell you.”

Huanhuan patted her chest and said, “I’m very bold. Nothing in this world can scare me except bugs and Xing Chen!”

The system said, “The prophet said he envied my life and wanted to swap identities with me.”

Huanhuan was so frightened that she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

She asked in horror, “Don’t tell me you agreed to him? Who are you now? Are you Little Brat or the prophet?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? You’re my only daughter. How could I bear to abandon you? I rejected his suggestion on the spot and said that I’ll rely on you for the rest of my life. It’s absolutely impossible for me to leave you!”

Hearing this, Huanhuan heaved a long sigh of relief. “Good job!”

The system deliberately teased her. “Didn’t you just say that there’s nothing in this world that can scare you except bugs and Xing Chen? Why were you so frightened by my words just now? Does it feel good to slap your own face?”

Huanhuan was not angry at all. She smiled and said, “As long as you don’t leave me, it doesn’t matter if my face is swollen!”

“Really? Then stick your face over. I’ll slap it for you.”

“Scram!”

Not long after, Huanhuan saw a familiar figure standing in front of her.

It was Bai Di!

Delighted, she raced over and threw herself into his arms. “Why are you here?”

Bai Di picked her up. “It’s not easy to walk at night. I was worried about you, so I came to pick you up.”

Huanhuan smiled proudly. “I passed the trial. We can build a beast city now!”

“I already know. An envoy came to inform us.” Bai Di carried her back. “Was the trial dangerous? Are you hurt?”

“It wasn’t dangerous. I’m not injured.” Huanhuan raised her chin. If she had a tail behind her, it would have been in the air by now.

‘Praise me! Praise me for being amazing!’

Bai Di smiled. “You’re amazing. You passed such a difficult trial. If those beasts who look down on you and the Rock Wolf Tribe find out, they’ll definitely regret not recognizing you.”

“Hmph, we won the bet. Remember to remind me to get the money tomorrow.”

Bai Di looked at her indulgently. “Okay.”

They returned home. Shuang Yun and Xue Ling were still awake.

After confirming that Huanhuan was safe, Shuang Yun and Xue Ling were relieved.

Ever since Huanhuan left, their hearts had been in their mouths. Their minds were filled with scenes of Huanhuan encountering danger. They couldn’t finish a task seriously.

Shuang Yun hugged Huanhuan and nuzzled her neck. “I won’t let you leave alone again.”

Huanhuan stroked his short silver-white hair as if she was touching a large canine. “Don’t worry. Not only am I fine, but I also successfully passed the last round of the trial. When we go back, we can build a beast city openly.”

The next morning, Shuang Yun greeted the King of Beasts on behalf of the Rock Wolf Tribe and took the green crystal disc that represented a low-level beast city from him. In the middle of the disc was a wolf-shaped totem.

With this green crystal disc, the Rock Wolf Tribe would be the newest beast city.

Shuang Yun had planned to leave after getting the green crystal disc, but the King of Beasts stopped him and asked him about He Guang.

“That third son of mine went to the Black River to fight. It’s been almost half a year. His mother and I miss him. I wonder how he’s doing over there.”

Shuang Yun said, “His Highness He Guang is a very good general. With him guarding the Black River, the surrounding beasts feel much safer. Your Majesty’s son is really powerful!”

Any parent liked to be praised for their son, and the King of Beasts was no exception.

He laughed loudly. “He Guang does have some ability to lead troops in battle, but he’s too young. He’s very impulsive. You have to help me keep an eye on him. Don’t let him be confused.”

“I will.”

The King of Beasts chatted with him for a while more until they finished talking about all the topics they could talk about. Only then did the King of Beasts get to the point. “The Divine Wood City has been destroyed. We’ll soon choose a middle-level beast city to replace the Divine Wood City. You should know about this, right?”

Shuang Yun nodded. “I’ve heard a little about it.”

“Now that you’re already a low-level beast city, you’re qualified to compete for the chance to be a medium-level beast city. Have you ever thought of taking this opportunity to upgrade to a medium-level beast city?”

Shuang Yun was stunned for a moment. The temptation of a medium-level beast city was too great. His heart immediately burned.

He forced himself to calm down. “This is against the rules, isn’t it? After all, we just obtained the qualifications to build a low-level beast city. We haven’t even built a beast city yet. How can we compete with the other beast cities?”

“The matter of building a city can be postponed. If you can really win the right to build a medium-level beast city, you can just build a medium-level beast city straight away. It’ll be easier.”

“Will the other low-level beast cities agree?”

The King of Beasts’ tone was very domineering. “So what if they don’t agree? The person who decides who can obtain the medium-level beast city is the prophet. As long as the prophet gives his opinion, it’ll be fine.”
