When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 186 - Successor

Chapter 186: Successor

The daffodil popped out of Sang Ye’s clothes.
Why was Han Ying here at this time?!
Their escape plan was interrupted.
Sang Ye touched her petals and stuffed her back into his clothes. Then, he turned around and saw Han Ying standing in front of the vase.
Han Ying asked, “I remember there was a dry branch here before. Why is it gone?”!!
Sang Ye said indifferently, “It’s too ugly. I threw it away.”
Han Ying nodded. “It was indeed quite ugly. I should have thrown it away long ago.”
Huanhuan, who was hiding in Sang Ye’s clothes, was speechless.
As expected of his biological uncle. They were both shallow people.
Han Ying didn’t pay any more attention to the withered tree. He focused his attention on Sang Ye again and said in relief, “The last time I saw you, you were just a cub who didn’t even have a human form. I didn’t expect you to grow so big in the blink of an eye.”
However, Sang Ye did not look happy at all.
He had only seen Han Ying once before. This man was the one who destroyed his family and made him an orphan.
That memory was too tragic. He never wanted to think about it again.
Sang Ye said expressionlessly, “Just say what you want to say.”
Seeing that he was cold, Han Ying didn’t mind. “Before your mother died, she instructed me to bring you back to the demons if the demon bloodline in you was awakened in the future.”
Sang Ye said nothing.
Han Ying continued, “I know you’re still thinking about that little female and don’t want to stay in the tribe, but this is the safest place for you now. You only have to stay here so you don’t have to face the temple’s pursuit.”
Sang Ye suddenly asked, “Do you know Ma Qing?”
Han Ying said, “What?”
“It was Ma Qing who stimulated the demon bloodline in my body back then.” Sang Ye looked at him steadily. “Ma Qing set me up and forced me to leave the temple. I thought he did it for the position of the high priest, but if that’s all, why did he awaken my demon bloodline? It wouldn’t do him any good. Most importantly, how did he know that the demon bloodline could be awakened? Who told him?”
It was Han Ying’s turn to be silent.
Sang Ye’s gaze was cold. “The only people who know how to awaken the demon bloodline are the demons themselves. But why did you tell Ma Qing such important information? Is it because you’re cooperating with each other?”
Han Ying: “…”
“Ma Qing is dead, but you must have many pawns hidden in the temple besides him, right? What are you plotting?”
Han Ying suddenly smiled. “If you want to know, stay. Join the demon army and become one of us. I’ll tell you everything I know.”
“What if I don’t want to?”
Han Ying stopped smiling. “You should know that from the moment you stepped into the territory of the demons, you had no other choice. You can only stay and serve the demons.”
However, Sang Ye said, “The person who raised me is my grandfather. I grew up in the temple. Even if I want to serve, I should serve the temple.”
“But the people from the temple want to kill you.”
“I can’t join the demon army either. I can’t let Grandfather down.”
Han Ying frowned and said, “Don’t mention that old man to me. If he hadn’t interfered, your mother wouldn’t have died so miserably back then. He’s our enemy!”
At the mention of this, Sang Ye immediately shut up, but he did not agree with his uncle.
Although he was still very young when his mother died, he had been investigating the truth back then all these years. He gradually learned some things. His mother’s death was indeed related to the temple, but in the end, the ones who really pushed her to eternal damnation were the demons.
Seeing that Sang Ye was still indifferent, it was obvious that he did not take what he said to heart. Han Ying was dissatisfied, but he did not continue to harp on this topic.
He said, “You have good qualifications. With a little polishing, you can become an excellent general. In the future, when I’m old, you can take over from me and become the new commander of the Demon Legion.”
“I’m not interested in leading troops into battle. You should find someone else to be your successor.” Sang Ye rejected him straightforwardly.
“You’re my only family in the world. You’re the only suitable successor. I won’t be at ease if it’s anyone else.”
No matter how Han Ying tried to persuade him, Sang Ye refused to stay and work for the demon race.
The negotiations came to a standstill.
Han Ying said, “I’ll give you another day to think about it. If you can’t give me a satisfactory answer tomorrow, I’ll have to use tough methods on you.”
After he left, Huanhuan crawled out of the pocket and raised her white flower to look at Sang Ye.
“Can we still leave?”
Sang Ye touched her petals. “Of course, we have to go.”
It would have been fine if he was alone. It didn’t matter what his uncle did to him. But the little female was here too. He had to get her out of this dangerous place no matter what.
Huanhuan wanted to ask Sang Ye about his mother, but the most important thing now was to leave this place. As for the rest, she could wait until they got home.
Anyway, they still had a lot of time. There was no need to rush.
Sang Ye walked out with the daffodil, but he realized that the door was locked from the outside and could not be pulled open.
The daffodil popped out of his shirt again and said, “You can climb out the window.”
There were bars on the window, but they were nothing to Sang Ye. He forced the bars open and climbed out smoothly.
Sang Ye quickly went downstairs while listening to Huanhuan describe the terrain outside.
At first, when he heard Huanhuan describe how huge the jellyfish was, he was a little skeptical. But when he walked out of the lighthouse and saw the huge jellyfish with his own eyes, he realized that Huanhuan’s description was not exaggerated at all.
This jellyfish was really too big!
The big jellyfish was like a monitor that was monitoring the entire territory of the demons. When Sang Ye appeared, it immediately noticed him.
Its long and thin tentacle extended in front of Sang Ye, wanting to check his identity.
Sang Ye stood where he was and let it investigate.
Patrolling soldiers kept walking past, but no one cared about Sang Ye.
The big jellyfish felt a demon aura on Sang Ye. He should be a demon, but his aura was too faint. This meant that he was not a pure-blooded demon.
There were many non-pure-blooded demons, but the guy in front was special.
The big jellyfish remembered that he was brought back by Han Ying. It was said that he was Han Ying’s nephew.
The tentacle circled Sang Ye and retracted after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
This should be the end of the inspection. Sang Ye was about to walk into the forest when he was stopped by a male demon beast running over from another direction.
“Lord Sang Ye, please wait.”
