WHEN BEAUTY MEETS BEASTS

859 Something Happened

He Zong returned to the palace.

The servant came forward and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

He Zong asked, “Where’s that person?”

Although he didn’t name anyone, the attendant immediately understood who he was referring to and replied quickly, “He’s still in the house. He hasn’t left since you left.”

“Alright, you can leave.”

“Alright.”

After the servant left, He Zong pushed open the door and walked into the house.

There was a lot of space in the house, but it was empty. The back door was open. He Zong passed through the back door and walked into the courtyard. He saw a man in a black robe fiddling with flowers and plants.

He Zong walked to his side. “What are you doing?”

Xing Chen carefully watered the flowers and plants. Without looking up, he said, “I think these flowers and plants are a little dry, so I’m watering them so that they won’t wither.”

The corners of He Zong’s mouth twitched as he sneered. “I didn’t expect you to be so caring.”

“I like flowers and plants. They’re more reliable than people. It’s a pity…¦”

“What’s a pity?”

“Nothing.” Xing Chen put down the wooden cup in his hand and stood up straight. His short gray-white hair was slightly upturned, making him look a little messy. The sunlight fell into his amber eyes and was quickly absorbed, disappearing into them.

He Zong did not know his background or identity.

Two days ago, this man suddenly appeared in the palace and said that he could help and get everything he wanted.

He Zong did not take him seriously at first.

Until he said…

“Now that the beast continent is in chaos, it’s the best opportunity for you. As long as you can grasp the opportunity, the royal and theological authority can be reversed. In the future, you and your descendants won’t have to be suppressed by the temple anymore.”

Ever since He Zong inherited the throne, he had deeply felt the suppression of the throne from the temple.

It was said that if one wanted to inherit the throne, one had to please the temple first.

Only with the approval of the temple could one have the right to the throne.

The royal family sounded glorious, but in the eyes of those people in the temple, they were not worth mentioning.

To put it bluntly, the royal family was like a group of pugs wagging their tails and begging in front of the temple!

The longer He Zong stayed in the position of the king of all beasts, the deeper the humiliation.

The thought of overthrowing the temple and making the royal family become the ruler of the world became more and more intense day by day.

Originally, He Zong wanted to rely on marriage to strengthen the connection between the royal family and the temple. In the future, when his son had descendants with the prophet’s daughter, he would push his grandson to the throne.

A king of all beasts with the blood of the royal family and the temple flowing in his body could gather the two powers together and become the most powerful king of all beasts in history!

At that time, the royal family could take the opportunity to slowly transfer power from the temple to them.

However, Lin Huanhuan rejected the marriage request.

And she had rejected him twice in a row!

His plan to boil the frog slowly was ruined, and He Zong was in a bad mood.

His ambitions were all forced to stop.

Until Xing Chen suddenly appeared and told him that there was still a chance.

Xing Chen told him that Lin Huanhuan’s physique was very special. Her blood had the special effect of healing any illness and wound. As long as he could control her, it was equivalent to having endless resources.

This information was too important and shocking.

For the sake of caution, He Zong let his spies monitor Lin Huanhuan.

In the end, they found evidence of Lin Huanhuan’s special physique.

He Zong was very excited. “My spy just told me that he saw Lin Huanhuan’s wound heal automatically. It seems that her body is indeed very special.”

Xing Chen glanced at him. “Is she hurt?”

“Yes.”

“How did she hurt herself?”

He Zong felt that he was asking a little too much, but he still answered, “The spy said that her wound was neat as if it was cut by something sharp. Why are you asking?”

Xing Chen didn’t seem to hear him and continued to ask, “Has she been going to the top of the mountain a lot recently?”

“Yes, how did you know?”

Xing Chen chuckled, his gaze cold. “She’s really not afraid of death.”

He Zong asked, “What do you mean by that? What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing. If you want to fight, hurry up. Otherwise, you won’t have a chance.”

“Why? Are her mates coming back soon?”

Xing Chen didn’t answer him. He picked up a cup and filled it with water before continuing to water the plants.

He Zong couldn’t help but remind him, “If you continue to water them, these flowers and plants will drown.”

Xing Chen didn’t stop moving. “So what if they die? They’re just weeds and flowers anyway.”

He Zong felt that he was really strange. If not for the clues provided by the other party that were helpful to him and the fact that the other party was powerful, he would definitely not consider getting involved with this strange person.

Thinking of this, He Zong couldn’t help but ask, “We don’t know each other. Why are you helping me?”

“I’ll help you get what you want, and you’ll help me get what I want.”

“What do you want?”

Xing Chen slowly said, “Lin Huanhuan.”

He Zong was quite surprised. “Do you have a grudge against her?”

Xing Chen gave him a cold look. “Does this have anything to do with you?”

This glance sent a chill down his spine.

He immediately changed the subject. “I’m prepared to do it tonight.”

Xing Chen put down his cup and fiddled with the flowers and plants in front of him. “I can help you.”

He was powerful. If He Zong could get his help, he would definitely be able to get twice the results with half the effort! He Zong was quite happy. “Then please help us deal with Leng Xiao and Shuang Jing. With these two around, we can’t attack Lin Huanhuan.”

“Then leave the two of them to me.”

That night, while everyone was asleep, a powerful team quietly sneaked into the 10,000 Beast Temple.

They quietly dealt with the guards in charge of patrolling.

The spy in charge of receiving them lowered his voice and said, “I drugged their dinner. They’ll be unconscious for the entire night. They’ll wake up at dawn tomorrow morning. You’d better act quickly.”

“Understood.”

They killed all the divine servants while they were unconscious.

The rich smell of blood filled the temple.

Eggy, who was sleeping soundly, smelled blood and immediately woke up.

She walked to the door, quietly pulled it open, and peeked out.

It was dark outside, but there were figures moving at the end of the corridor.

The smell of blood in the air grew stronger.

The uneasiness in Eggy’s heart rose to the peak.

Something must have happened!

She nudged Huanhuan and called out in a low voice, “Mom, something bad has happened.”

Huanhuan was too tired and had lost too much blood. She slept very soundly.

Eggy persistently called out for a long time before Huanhuan opened her eyes with difficulty and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
