WHEN BEAUTY MEETS BEASTS

852 I Never Regret

Huanhuan smiled faintly. “I understand. You want to use Shuang Yun’s safety to threaten me into marrying my eldest daughter to your son?”

“No, no, no. How would I dare to threaten you? I’m just making a suggestion. It’s up to you to accept it.”

He Zong was smiling as if he was very confident about the outcome.

With how much Lin Huanhuan cared about her mate, she would definitely choose to compromise to save Shuang Yun.

The smile in Huanhuan’s eyes faded bit by bit. Her gaze became very cold. “Thank you for your kindness, but I’m sorry, I can’t sacrifice my daughter’s happiness. She has the right to choose her mate. No one has the right to interfere with her choice.”

He Zong’s expression froze on his face.

He looked at Lin Huanhuan as if she was a fool.

“My sons are quite good-looking and strong. They’re more than enough to match your Shuang Yin. Even if Shuang Yin doesn’t like my sons, it doesn’t matter! Shuang Yin can choose the male beasts she likes to be her mates. In any case, she can have many mates. What’s the big deal about my sons being one of them?”

Huanhuan looked at him coldly. “Even if Big Goody wants to find ten mates, she has to choose all of them herself.”

At this point, there was no turning back.

He Zong’s expression was extremely ugly.

He was the king of all beasts and had lived among the stars for many years. He had never been humiliated like this.

“If there’s nothing else, please leave now.”

Huanhuan asked him to leave.

He Zong no longer wanted to maintain his appearance of kindness. The corners of his mouth twitched as he sneered. “You’ll regret the choice you made today.”

Huanhuan said slowly, “I never regret.”

“Hmph!”

He Zong stood up and strode away without looking back.

After he walked away, Huanhuan’s straightened back gradually relaxed. “Do you think He Zong already knows that Shuang Yun is in danger?”

Bai Di was more cautious. “I can’t be sure yet.”

Xue Ling said, “He came at the right time. Shuang Yun was in danger when he appeared. He immediately used the matter of saving him to discuss the marriage. No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem simple.”

Sang Ye said coldly, “I think the most important thing now is to save Shuang Yun. We can put everything else aside for the time being.”

“You’re right. It’s more important to save Shuang Yun first.” Huanhuan paused, then continued, “Get someone to call Wu Huo over.”

Xue Ling asked, “Why are you looking for Wu Huo?”

“Can’t his eyes see things thousands of miles away? I want him to help see where Shuang Yun is now.”

This was indeed a solution! Xue Ling immediately stood up. “I’ll bring him over myself.”

“Time is of the essence. Come back quickly.”

“Alright!”

It was very troublesome to go up and down the mountain. Huanhuan thought that Xue Ling would not return until dark. Unexpectedly, Xue Ling returned with Wu Huo before the sun rose.

“I got him.”

Xue Ling threw Wu Huo to the ground.

Poor Wu Huo had been knocked unconscious. He was lying on the ground, his head bare. There was not a single hair on his head.

Huanhuan stared at the head that was smooth enough to reflect light. She couldn’t help but ask, “Where did his hair go?”

Xue Ling said, “Not long ago, there was a fire where he lived. Most of his hair was burned. He thought his hair was too ugly, so he shaved his head.”

Recalling the sudden fire, Huanhuan involuntarily glanced at Xue Ling.

“You guys secretly lit his residence on fire, didn’t you?”

Xue Ling smiled indifferently. “He dared to send people to assassinate us before. It’s not too much for me to light up his place.”

These were all small matters. Huanhuan did not dwell on them for too long. “Hurry up and wake him up. I have something to ask him.”

Xue Ling casually picked up a bowl of cold tea and splashed it on Wu Huo’s face.

Wu Huo jolted and immediately woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw Huanhuan and her three mates standing in front of him. He couldn’t help but be stunned and ask, “Why are you here?!”

Then, he looked around and realized that he was in the 10,000 Beast Temple.

Xue Ling took the initiative to explain, “Don’t be afraid. I carried you up the mountain after knocking you out. If you want to live, do as we say.”

Wu Huo was very nervous. “What do you want?”

Huanhuan walked up to him and squatted down. She looked into his eyes and said gently, “I want to ask you a favor.”

“What favor?”

“I want you to help me see where Shuang Yun is now.”

Wu Huo did not have a good impression of Huanhuan or her mates. Hearing her request, he wanted to refuse without thinking. However, before he could say anything, his gaze was attracted by Huanhuan’s eyes.

He looked at her without blinking as if he had lost his mind. His gaze was mesmerized and numb.

Huanhuan said slowly, “Help me see where Shuang Yun is now.”

Her voice was filled with temptation, like a siren. It tempted Wu Huo to fall for Huanhuan involuntarily.

Wu Huo followed her instructions and used his special ability to start searching for Shuang Yun.

He searched many places and finally found Shuang Yun.

“He’s in a stone forest. There are many stones there and many terrifying demonic creatures. They’re chasing after Shuang Yun. Shuang Yun is injured and covered in blood…”

At this point, Wu Huo suddenly jolted.

His eyes blinked, and his gaze returned to normal.

He looked at Lin Huanhuan, who was very close to him, and frowned. “Why are you so close to me?”

Huanhuan knew that the confusion effect had disappeared.

Wu Huo’s eyes were special to begin with. Coupled with his high vigilance, it was already considered a success to be able to bewitch even if it was for a while.

Huanhuan stood up and took two steps back. “Thank you for your help. You can rest first.”

Before Wu Huo could ask, Xue Ling knocked him out again.

This time, Xue Ling hit the back of his head.

With a loud bang, Huanhuan clearly heard a muffled sound. She couldn’t help but ask, “You won’t beat him to death like this, right?”

Xue Ling was quite confident. “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

Due to the lack of hair, Huanhuan could clearly see that the back of Wu Huo’s head was swollen.

It must have hurt.

Xue Ling dragged the unconscious Wu Huo down.

Bai Di thought back and said, “There are stone forests in many places, but the largest one is not far from Black River.”

Black River? Huanhuan immediately asked, “Isn’t that very close to Rock City?”

Bai Di nodded.

Huanhuan jumped onto Bai Di. “Hurry up and take me to the top of the mountain.”

She wasn’t strong, so she was too slow when climbing the mountain. She could get there much faster if Bai Di helped bring her up the mountain.
