The hyena was finally thrown to the ground by Xue Ling. It could not get up again and spat out blood.
Yi Wu quickly pounced forward and stood in front of the hyena, crying pitifully. “Elder Xue Ling, please be magnanimous and spare his life!”
Yi Chuan said with difficulty, “Don’t do this…”
Yi Wu said with tears in her eyes, “No, I can’t watch you get beaten to death!”
Yi Chuan was very touched. “You’re so good to me!”!!
…
Xue Ling had had enough of the disgusting conversation between the two of them. He picked Huanhuan up and said, “Let’s go.”
Xue Ling had only casually made a few moves just now, but He Guang could sense his powerful strength. He Guang couldn’t help but cherish his talent.
If he could recruit such a talent… No, he should take a step back first. Even if the other party was unwilling to be recruited, just being on good terms with him would be beneficial to him.
Seeing that they were about to leave, He Guang quickly reached out to stop them. “Please wait!”
Unexpectedly, his fingers accidentally pulled a corner of Huanhuan’s veil.
As Huanhuan was caught off guard, the veil on her face was pulled down.
A beautiful face that could almost make everything pale in comparison was revealed.
He Guang couldn’t help but choke.
Although his status prevented him from making too exaggerated an expression, the shock in his eyes was real.
Even though he had seen many females, he had never seen such a beautiful female.
Just one look at her made a beast want to take her for himself.
Even Yi Wu, who was known as the number one beauty among the beast cities, could not compare to her.
Huanhuan wanted to reach out and pull back the veil, but she was too late.
She had already been carried into the sky by Xue Ling. The veil spun in the air and landed at He Guang’s feet.
Huanhuan had no choice but to retract her hand. She hugged Xue Ling’s neck and muttered softly, “What a waste of a veil.”
That was a veil made of snow silk. It was so expensive!
Xue Ling smiled casually. “It’s okay. I have plenty of crystal coins. I’ll buy you a bunch of snow silk yarns later so that you can make more veils.”
“Does your family print money?”
“You’re my family. You have to ask yourself that question.”
“Hmph!”
…
It wasn’t until they were far away that He Guang reluctantly looked away. He bent down and picked up the veil.
The light snow silk veil felt like nothing in his hand.
His mind was still replaying the glimpse he had just taken.
She was truly devastatingly beautiful!
Yi Wu’s heart tightened when she saw that he was silent for a long time while staring at the veil in his hand. Could he also be thinking about Huanhuan?
No, she had taken a fancy to He Guang first!
She had spent a lot of effort to get close to He Guang during this expedition to the Black River. She could not let him be snatched away by Huanhuan!
Yi Wu put a hand to her forehead and swayed against He Guang. She frowned and said, “Your Highness, I suddenly have a headache.”
He Guang immediately came back to his senses.
He put the veil into his carry-on bag and held Yi Wu’s shoulder. “What’s wrong?” he asked with concern.
“I don’t know. Maybe the journey has been too hard on me these past few days. I just need some rest.”
“I’ll take you back.”
Yi Wu said awkwardly, “But my legs are weak…”
“If you don’t mind, can I carry you?”
Yi Wu lowered her eyes, and there was a shy look on her pink cheeks. “Sure.”
He Guang picked her up and strode back.
Yi Wu asked, “What about Yi Chuan?”
He Guang said casually, “Don’t worry, he won’t die.”
As soon as they left, two beast soldiers walked over and dragged Yi Chuan away rudely.
…
Xue Ling carried Huanhuan back to the rock mountain.
They happened to see Xuan Wei and Bai Di standing in the open space beside the divine embassy.
Seeing Huanhuan, Bai Di smiled and asked gently, “Where did you go just now?”
Huanhuan hugged his arm and leaned against him affectionately. “Xue Ling brought me to see the sea of flowers.”
“Was it nice?”
“It was beautiful.” Huanhuan smiled very sweetly. “There are many golden willow flowers there. We’ll bring some beasts over later to pick the flowers. After drying them, we can keep them as herbs.”
“Okay, I’ll go gather some people.”
Before leaving, Huanhuan said to Xuan Wei, “On our way back just now, we saw a beast army rushing toward the Black River.”
Xuan Wei nodded. “Thank you for telling me.”
After Bai Di and Xue Ling left, Xuan Wei immediately gathered his subordinates and rushed to the Black River to meet the army.
Bai Di called Jiu Yuan over and told him about the golden willow flowers. He described the address carefully.
Because Huanhuan had specially instructed him to do this, Jiu Yuan didn’t dare to delay. He immediately led 20 young and strong beasts to the sea of flowers and picked as many golden willow flowers as possible before night fell.
After Huanhuan returned home, she picked up the two chubby tiger babies and kissed each of them.
“Little babies, did you miss me at home?”
The tiger babies hugged her and rubbed against her. In the end, she was covered in white fur.
She wiped the fur off her face and lowered the tiger babies to the ground so that they could play on their own.
At this moment, Shuang Yun and Sang Ye had also returned. Xue Ling told them about the number of troops and their approximate strength.
“The entire army has nearly 500 beast soldiers, and 100 of them are soul beasts. Although they’re only one-starred and two-starred low-level soul beasts, their strength can’t be underestimated.”
Shuang Yun pondered. “We still have to strengthen our defenses.”
Not only did they have to defend against the demons, but they also had to be wary of these beast armies from beast cities.
When these armies fought, they never cared about the lives of ordinary beasts. If sacrificing ordinary beasts could help them win, the army would not hesitate to do so.
In their eyes, victory was the ultimate goal, no matter what the means.
He Guang had brought so many beast soldiers this time. The army was very strong. If they really wanted to harm the Rock Wolf Tribe, it would be difficult for the tribe to resist.
They had to prepare for the worst.
Sang Ye said, “I saw Xuan Wei leave the tribe with his team just now. From the looks of it, they should be going to the Black River. They must be preparing to meet the army.”
He looked at Bai Di. “Have you dealt with the matter regarding the Dance of the Gods?”
Bai Di said, “I just talked to Xuan Wei about it. He’s willing to help hide this matter.”
Shuang Yun was a little surprised. “Why did he agree so readily?”
“He said it wouldn’t do him any good to tell the temple about the Dance of the Gods. He doesn’t have to do something so thankless.”
Shuang Yun asked, “But isn’t he one of the 12 divine guards of the temple? Logically speaking, he should be from the temple, right?”
Bai Di pondered. “I don’t know the details, but I can sense that Xuan Wei doesn’t respect the temple as much as outsiders expect. They’re just working together and making deals.”
