When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 707 - 707 There’s No Cat In This World Who Doesn’t Steal Fish

707 There’s No Cat In This World Who Doesn’t Steal Fish
Bai Di tucked her in and quietly left the room, closing the door behind him.
When he opened the door of the reception room, he saw Shuang Yun, Xue Ling, and Sang Ye sitting inside. Yun Hui and Chang Gu were also there.
Bai Di walked in. “Hasn’t there been any response from the people we sent to deliver the letter to the 10,000 Beast Temple?”
It was Shuang Yun who answered, “No.”
!!
Xue Ling leaned back in his chair and said casually, “When I first returned to Rock City, I sent someone to the City of 10,000 Beasts to tell them about the candidate we’ve confirmed as the high priest. It’s been almost two months. Why haven’t we heard anything? Do they disagree with Huanhuan becoming the high priest, or did they not see the person who sent the letter at all?”
Bai Di looked at him. “Which do you think is more likely?”
“With my understanding of those old guys in the Eldsers’ Association, if they’re not satisfied with our decision, they’ll definitely cause trouble for us immediately. They wouldn’t be so silent. I’m guessing that they probably haven’t seen the person who sent the letter and don’t even know that we’ve already decided on the candidate for the high priest.”
“You mean someone intercepted the messenger halfway?”
“It’s very likely.”
Shuang Yun smoothed his short silver-white hair. “Then what should we do now? Send more people to the City of 10,000 Beasts?”
“There’s no need. Since the other party has a way to stop the person who sent the letter, it won’t work even if we send someone else to deliver the letter again.”
Shuang Yun was a little frustrated. “Who would be so bored as to deliberately stop the messenger we sent?”
“Someone who doesn’t want Huanhuan to become the high priest.”
“Who?”
Xue Ling spread his hands. “How would I know?”

Bai Di thought for a moment. “We’ve offended a lot of people over the years. If we really investigate them one by one, the range is too large. I suggest we put this matter aside for now. We’ll find an occasion to go to the City of 10,000 Beasts personally and explain this to the prophet.”
Xue Ling agreed. “That’s safer.”
Bai Di said, “Before that, I’m going to Sun City to pick up Big White and Little White.”
“Are you going alone?”
“Yes, I can do it alone.”
Xue Ling smiled ambiguously. “I’m guessing Huanhuan definitely won’t agree to let you go to Sun City alone.”
He was right. When Huanhuan woke up the next morning and learned that Bai Di was going to Sun City alone, she immediately said, “I want to go with you!”
Bai Di advised gently, “No, you were injured not long ago. You haven’t recovered yet. It’s not convenient for you to travel.”
“I’m not hurt. I’m fine now!”
“You’re missing a piece of your soul, yet you say you’re not injured?”
Huanhuan was speechless. She could only hug his arm and moan. “In any case, I can’t let you go to Sun City alone. If you want to go, you have to bring me along.”
She hadn’t seen Big White and Little White in a long time. She felt guilty about these two children.
This time, she had to pick up the two children personally.
Bai Di’s tone was gentle, but he was especially determined.
Whether Huanhuan threw a tantrum or cried and acted shamelessly, it could not change his decision.
In the end, Huanhuan was forced into a corner. She stopped eating and hid in her room to sulk.
Bai Di knocked on the door with his food.
“Huanhuan, can I come in?”

Hearing his voice, Huanhuan slapped the bed angrily twice. “Don’t come in!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Di pushed open the door and walked in.
In this era without locks, it was easy to push open the door.
Huanhuan sat up and glared at him angrily. “What are you doing here? I don’t want to talk to you. Get out!”
“Even if you’re throwing a tantrum, you have to eat. What if you starve yourself? Our hearts will ache later.”
“I’m not eating.”
Bai Di brought her the food. “I made your favorite crystal prawn dumplings. There’s also steamed meat and hot and sour fish.”
Huanhuan swallowed involuntarily, but in the end, she turned her head away bravely. “If you don’t let me go to Sun City, I won’t eat. I’ll just starve to death.”
Bai Di couldn’t bear to hear the word ‘die’. It reminded him of many unpleasant images.
He frowned. “Don’t curse yourself.”
Bai Di rarely showed his serious side to Huanhuan. Even when she threw a tantrum, he was gentle, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have a temper.
Huanhuan still remembered the last time he pressed her down and beat her up.
She saw that Bai Di was unhappy and instinctively covered her butt, afraid he would hit her again.
“I just want to go with you and pick our children up. I won’t eat if you don’t agree.”
But Bai Di said, “I’ll bring Big White and Little White back safely. You just have to wait for me at home.”
“I don’t understand. Why can’t I go with you?”
“You’re still injured…”
“I’m not injured. I’m fine now!” Huanhuan got up and jumped twice on the bed. “Look, I can run and jump now. I’m fine!”

“But your soul is incomplete.”
“But that doesn’t affect my normal life!” Huanhuan’s words were true. Ever since she lost a piece of her soul, she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. She was no different from before.
Even so, Bai Di refused to change his mind.
...
“It’s dangerous out there. You have to stay home so that you’ll be safe.”
Huanhuan stared into his eyes for a long time. “That’s not the real reason, is it?”
His reasons seemed to be for her own good, but when one looked into them, they were actually very general and completely unconvincing.
Bai Di didn’t move, accepting her gaze. “That’s the real reason.”
Huanhuan didn’t believe him. “Are you hiding something from me?”
“You’re thinking too much.”
Huanhuan was very unhappy. “You’ve changed.”
“How have I changed?”
Huanhuan placed her hands on her hips and snorted. “You never lied to me before. Now, you’ve learned to lie. Bai Di, I have reason to suspect that you’re having a mistress behind my back. The reason you don’t want me to go out with you is that you’re afraid I’ll find out about your affair with someone else.”
Bai Di didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “We have a mate contract. If I’m having an affair with anyone else, the contract would have backfired on me.”
“What contract? I signed a contract with the Divine Wood clan previously. Didn’t they still violate the contract in the end?”
...
“I’m not like them.
“How are you guys different? The world is as dark as a crow. There’s no cat in the world who doesn’t steal fish.”
Bai Di wanted to laugh at her words and reached for her hand. “Come, come into my arms and smell me.”
Huanhuan was pulled into his arms. She sniffed his neck and exclaimed exaggeratedly, “Wow! You smell fishy all over!”
Bai Di was calm. “Oh, it must be from cutting fish. I’ll be fine after I wash up.”
