WHEN BEAUTY MEETS BEASTS

826 Trash Station

Huanhuan almost knelt down to him.

“Doesn’t the Demon Eye grow in the abyss?!”

Lin Qing nodded. “Yes.”

Huanhuan pointed at her nose in disbelief. “You want me to go to the abyss to clean up your bones?!”

“Can’t you?”

“If I go to a place like the abyss, will I come back alive?!”

Lin Qing was confused. “What’s wrong with the abyss? Isn’t that a trash station?”

“What? A trash station?!”

“That’s right. In the past, we would throw things we didn’t want into the abyss. At first, we threw dead things. Later, there were some living things mixed in. Those living things survived in the abyss, and that’s how they became the monsters you see now.”

From what he said, the abyss really did seem to be an oversized trash station.

Lin Qing felt that it was very indecent to leave his bones in the trash station. It seemed only right for him to get someone to handle this situation.

However!

“That place might just be a trash station to you, but to me, it’s a demon’s den that eats people up! A delicate girl like me will definitely not return if I go to that place!”

Lin Qing sized her up. “The fact that you dare to say that you’re a girl means that you’re quite thick-skinned. Even if you go to the abyss, your thick skin can protect you.”

Huanhuan: “…”

“It’s fine if you really don’t want to go. It’s just a skeleton anyway.”

Huanhuan hesitated for a long time before saying carefully, “I can help you get your bones, but can you do me another favor?”

Lin Qing glanced at her. “Didn’t you just say that you came here to see me because you’re grateful?”

“While I’m visiting you, I’ll also ask you for help~”

Seeing that he was ignoring her, she braced herself and grabbed his arm to shake it twice. Her eyes were filled with pleading.

Lin Qing looked down at his arm that she had grabbed.

Perhaps because his gaze was too cold, Huanhuan involuntarily let go of her hands with a resentful expression.

Lin Qing said, “Tell me.”

Huanhuan said, “Huh?”

“Don’t you need something from me? What is it?”

Huanhuan was delighted and quickly asked, “Do you know about puppet worms?”

“I do.”

“Someone tried to harm me with these worms recently.”

Lin Qing looked up at her and frowned. “Do you have one inside you now?”

“No, no!”

Lin Qing looked away. “I didn’t think you were that stupid either.”

Huanhuan told him how she had discovered the puppet worm.

“I’ve already asked the second elder to take the pill, but I want to ask you if there’s a way to cut off the connection between the puppet worms and the mother. It’s best if the child worm listens to my orders.”

Lin Qing smiled faintly. “You stole someone else’s puppet worm and want that worm to listen to you? Dream on.”

“Ahem, in any case, it’s useless to keep that worm. It’s quite disgusting. I might as well let him eat it. It’s naturally good if there’s a way to use it for my personal gain. If not, it doesn’t matter. In any case, Second Elder has ill intentions. He deserves to die.”

“There are ways to cut off contact…”

Huanhuan was immediately interested. “What is it?”

Lin Qing casually took a book from the pile beside him and handed it to her. “Take a look for yourself.”

It was a book bound in sheepskin. It looked thick, but it was only about ten pages.

Huanhuan quickly flipped through it.

It was a book that taught people to raise voodoo worms. There were not many words, but every sentence was very practical.

Huanhuan saw the records of puppet worms inside.

In addition to the information Little Brat had told her before, the book also said that after a puppet worm entered the human body, it could be fed with medicine. It could make the puppet worm forget its connection with the mother worm and establish a subordinate relationship with a new feeder…

There were many details after that. Huanhuan noted them down.

She returned the book to Lin Qing. “Thank you for your guidance, Teacher!”

Lin Qing still looked cold. “I hope you won’t forget your promise to me.”

“Don’t worry. After I deal with those old guys in the Elders’ Association, I’ll help you gather your bones. At that time, I’ll definitely bury you gloriously!”

“There’s no need for a grand burial. You just have to burn my bones and scatter the ashes in the river.”

Although Huanhuan felt that this was a little unworthy of his status as a god, since he asked for it, she could only respect his last wish.

“Yes, I understand.”

…

Little Brat was watching cartoons with relish.

When he saw Huanhuan come out, he asked, “Have you found the answer?”

Huanhuan nodded. “I found it.”

“Then why do you still look troubled?”

Huanhuan hesitated. “I promised Lin Qing something just now.”

“What is it?”

“I promised to help him collect his bones.”

“Oh, it’s not a big deal. Why are you looking so miserable?”

“Lin Qing’s corpse is under the Demon Eye.”

“It’s just under a tree… Wait!” Little Brat suddenly sat up straight and looked at her with wide eyes. “What did you say?”

Huanhuan said word by word, “Demon’s Eye.”

Little Brat suddenly stood up and roared at the top of his lungs, “F*ck! That tree is in the deepest part of the abyss! It’s close to the demon king’s palace! You barely escaped death last time. Are you going to take the initiative to deliver yourself to the lion’s den this time?!”

Huanhuan looked desperate. “What can I do? I’m desperate too.”

Little Brat pointed at the door. “Go back and tell Lin Qing that you can’t do this. Get him to find someone else to help!”

Huanhuan whispered, “I’m the only living person who can enter this place. He can’t find anyone else to help.”

“Then go back on your word. No matter what you do, you have to reject the mission to get his bones!”

“But I’ve already promised him…”

“You can go back on your word!”

“That’s not a good idea, is it?”

Little Brat pointed at her and scolded, “You’re really infuriating!”

Huanhuan covered her face. “I’m sorry.”

“I don’t want to hear your apology. I want you to go to him immediately and reject this matter!”

“He’s helped me so much, and I’ve never done anything for him. This is the first time he’s made a request. Wouldn’t it be ungrateful of me to refuse?”

“It doesn’t matter! Your life is more important than your character and reputation!”

Huanhuan praised sincerely, “You’re really the most straightforward system I’ve ever seen.”

“Don’t flatter me. I won’t fall for that!”

“It’s getting late. I still have to deal with the second elder and the puppet worm. I’ll leave Lin Qing’s matter to you.” Huanhuan decided to slip away!

She ran off.

Little Brat was so angry that he pounded his chest. “Heavens! What sin did I commit to raise such a bastard daughter?!”
