When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 184 - Huanhuan, Is That You?

Chapter 184: Huanhuan, Is That You?

This was a very hidden underground cave. There was an underground lake in the cave, and this was where Huanhuan climbed out of just now.
The cave was filled with stalactites of various shapes, and the ground was thick with dark purple moss.
Could this be the territory of the demons?
Huanhuan carefully walked out of the underground cave and realized that there was a large forest outside. She didn’t know what species these trees were, but they were strangely shaped. There were no leaves, only dark purple flowers.
The sky seemed to be covered by something transparent. The sun and clouds outside could not be seen. At the same time, it blocked out the snow and wind as well.!!
The place was unexpectedly warm.
Huanhuan looked around, only to see Han Ying walking into the forest with Sang Ye. More than 20 beasts followed closely behind.
She quickly followed.
The withered tree had no feet and could not walk normally. Huanhuan could only hop forward.
If anyone were looking in her direction, they would see a small, withered tree springing forward like a rabbit. Its movements were unspeakably clumsy and comical.
After entering the forest, Huanhuan’s figure immediately disappeared among the trees, becoming very inconspicuous.
She was also lucky to not be discovered.
Han Ying and the others had already walked out of the forest. Huanhuan quickly quickened her pace. When she reached the edge of the forest, she paused.
She saw a huge lake ahead. The water was a strange dark purple. Four black lighthouses of exactly the same shape sat around the lake. The top of the lighthouses glowed dimly.
A strange creature that looked like a jellyfish was floating above the lake. Its body glowed with a faint purple light.
It was really too big. It seemed to cover the entire lake and the forest.
It turned out that the transparent thing covering the sky was its body.
There were many thin and long tentacles under the jellyfish, like a woman’s long hair. They waved gently in the air.
When Han Ying and the others walked out of the forest, they tacitly stopped where they were.
The jellyfish extended two tentacles and circled them. After confirming that everything was fine, it retreated.
It was checking if any outsiders had sneaked into the territory of the demons.
There were many demon troops patrolling around the lake. As soon as they noticed any movements, they could immediately tear the enemy into pieces.
Han Ying and the others continued forward. They walked into a lighthouse by the lake.
Huanhuan was about to follow when she realized that the big jellyfish suddenly extended a tentacle in her direction.
Huanhuan was so frightened that she immediately stopped in place and leaned against a big tree beside her, not daring to move.
The thin, long tentacle stopped in front of her as if sizing her up.
Huanhuan was so nervous that she was sweating.
The tentacle then touched the branches.
The cold touch made Huanhuan feel itchy. It took her a lot of effort not to laugh.
The tentacle couldn’t sense anything unusual about the tree and seemed disappointed. The tip drooped slightly before it retracted.
Huanhuan heaved a huge sigh of relief.
As soon as she heaved a sigh of relief, she noticed that the purple flowers on the big tree beside her had bloomed. The slender and curved petals looked a little like chrysanthemums. In the center of the petals was a circle of sharp fangs.
Damn, these were man-eating flowers!
Huanhuan was so frightened that she quickly jumped back and kept a distance from the tree.
The territory of the demons was too terrifying. There were dangers everywhere. She had to be more careful.
Not only were there demon soldiers patrolling ahead, but there was also the frighteningly big jellyfish. Huanhuan didn’t dare move at all. She could only hide at the edge of the forest and wait for a long time. Finally, she saw an opportunity.
A team of demon soldiers had brought back a lot of meat and greens from outside. Although they were called rations, they were actually just animals hunted and vegetation picked from outside.
Due to the snow and ice outside, animals rarely went out and were very difficult to hunt. Therefore, the results of their capture this time were mostly fish and prawns salvaged from under the ice lake.
These fish and prawns were all stored in animal hide bags. Huanhuan found the right moment and crawled into one of the animal hide bags.
The food was transported into a lighthouse by the lake.
Fortunately, this lighthouse happened to be the same one that Han Ying and the others had just entered.
The food was thrown into the underground warehouse. One bag after another was thrown in. Huanhuan, who was pressed down, felt a lot of her small branches break. It made her heart ache for a long time.
After the demons who were responsible for transporting the food left, Huanhuan came out of the bag.
The strong fishy smell almost made her faint.
She rubbed against the wall and finally got rid of the smell of fish. Then, she left the underground warehouse and sneaked upstairs.
In order to reduce the commotion, she lay on her stomach and used a branch to climb the spiral staircase.
The lighthouse was very tall with more than 30 floors.
Huanhuan climbed up on her hands and knees. Finally, when she was so tired that she was about to faint, she found Sang Ye in a locked room.
At this moment, Sang Ye was still unconscious.
The window was open, but there were iron bars. Fortunately, the small tree that Huanhuan turned into was slimmer. With a few twists, she squeezed through the gap in the bars.
It was obvious that Han Ying valued this nephew very much. The room he arranged for him was very spacious. There were a bed, table, cabinet, and chairs.
Huanhuan even saw a huge vase in the corner with a few blooming flowers.
Fortunately, it wasn’t the man-eating flower she’d seen in the woods.
Sang Ye was very weak now. He could not even maintain his human form and could only lie on the carpet in the form of a python.
The snake’s body was coiled in circles. Its huge head drooped over its body, and its eyes were closed.
His wounds had been dressed, and he looked much better. They hadn’t healed completely, but at least they weren’t as shocking as they had been.
Huanhuan extended a branch and gently touched the snake. She called softly, “Sang Ye…”
The python didn’t react.
Huanhuan pressed the branch against him and prayed for him.
‘You have to get well soon…’
Every once in a while, Han Ying would come to visit Sang Ye and apply medicine to his wounds.
When that happened, Huanhuan would hide in the vase and camouflage with the flowers.
On the third day, Sang Ye finally woke up.
Huanhuan was so excited that her branches were trembling.
The python opened his eyes and looked around, as if trying to guess where he was. He didn’t notice the thin tree beside him.
Huanhuan waved her branch. “Sang Ye, I’m here. Look at me!”
Hearing her voice, the python immediately lowered his head and locked his gaze on the small tree.
He asked tentatively, “Huanhuan, is that you?”
“Yes, yes, that’s me!”
