After receiving the seeds, the beasts left in groups.
Huanhuan and Bai Di were about to leave when Qian Ye stopped Huanhuan.
She saw Qian Ye walking toward her and hesitated, thinking about whether to kneel.
Other than her parents, she really did not have the habit of kneeling down to others. Every time she knelt down, she felt very awkward.
While she was hesitating, Qian Ye walked up to her.!!
He did not seem to care about these formalities. When he saw that Huanhuan did not kneel down and bow, he did not say anything.
He raised his beautiful and cute face and called out crisply, “Sister!”
Huanhuan’s scalp went numb when he called her that. She quickly waved her hand. “You’re the beast king. Don’t call me that.”
“But you asked me to call you that.”
“I was joking.” Huanhuan was very embarrassed. “Don’t take it seriously. Forget what I said.”
Qian Ye smiled brightly. “Why would I forget? I like calling you ‘Sister’.”
When Xue Hui heard their conversation, she couldn’t help but look surprised. “Huanhuan, did you really ask His Majesty to call you ‘Sister’?”
At that time, Huanhuan didn’t know that Qian Ye was the beast king. She thought he was just an ordinary child. She didn’t think too much about it and just teased him. Now that she thought about it, she felt ashamed.
She actually let the dignified beast king call her ‘Sister’. She was too bold!
Qian Ye smiled slyly. “She didn’t just ask me to call her ‘Sister’ but she even carried me!”
The surprise on Xue Hui’s face became more obvious. “You two—”
Huanhuan was afraid that Bai Di and Xue Ling would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, “It’s not what you think. I really thought he was just a child. I carried him because I was afraid he would fall.”
Xue Hui couldn’t help but chuckle when she thought of the beast king being carried in Huanhuan’s arms. “You’re indeed a kind sister.”
Qian Ye nodded vigorously. “That’s right!”
Feeling that she would be mocked if she stayed here any longer, Huanhuan made an excuse and pulled Bai Di and Xue Ling away.
Looking at her departing figure, Qian Ye said, “Is she really a descendant of your Divine Wood clan?”
Xue Hui replied, “Yes, Lord Bi Huan has already seen her. There’s no mistake.”
Qian Ye glanced at her. “You want to keep her?”
“Your Majesty, we just want her to live with her people. After all, this is the best place for her to live.”
Qian Ye put his hands behind his back, his young face filled with mixed emotions. “The place you think is best for her might not be the place she likes.”
…
The sky gradually darkened, and a huge bonfire was lit on the grass.
The highlight of the festival finally began.
The beasts blew on musical instruments made of green leaves and wood. A happy tune spread throughout the forest. The long table was filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. The cubs ran and played around the table. Laughter echoed.
The single male beasts set out one after another to invite the female they liked to dance.
Flames lit up the night sky, illuminating the brilliant galaxy.
Huanhuan sat on the grass with Bai Di on her left and Xue Ling on her right. She looked around and didn’t see Xuan Wei. She couldn’t help but ask where Xuan Wei was.
Xue Ling said casually, “Maybe he’s still resting in the house.”
Although Xuan Wei and Bai Di were brothers, he was silent and did not like to talk. He usually kept everything to himself. No one knew what he was thinking.
Therefore, Xuan Wei’s whereabouts were always very mysterious. He would appear and disappear from time to time.
Not long after, Xuan Wei arrived.
He walked over to Bai Di and sat down. His gaze swept over the male beasts and females dancing. He looked very calm.
Huanhuan smiled and asked, “Have you taken a fancy to any female? If you have, go ahead and pursue her. I’ll support you!”
Xuan Wei said indifferently, “I’m not interested.”
A few male beasts came to invite Huanhuan to dance, but she declined.
What surprised Huanhuan the most was that Qian Ye was here too. He stretched out his short arms and asked with a smile, “I wonder if I have the honor of inviting this beautiful lady to a dance?”
This should have been a very masculine move, but with Qian Ye’s tender and cute face, Huanhuan felt that the contrast was cute.
Her fingers were restless. She wanted to reach out and pinch his little face.
However, rationality helped her suppress this bold thought in the end. She said, “Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty, but I already have a dance partner.”
Qian Ye opened his sparkling eyes. “Oh?”
Huanhuan took Xue Ling’s hand and tilted her head to look at him. “Shall we dance?”
Xue Ling’s lips curled. “Okay.”
They ran to the campfire. Huanhuan moved to the rhythm of the music as she circled Xue Ling.
Xue Ling’s gaze followed her, his red eyes burning.
Nearby, Bai Di was watching them dance, his gaze gentle.
Xuan Wei asked coldly, “Won’t you be jealous seeing her being intimate with other male beasts?”
“Of course, I’m jealous, but it’s more important that she’s happy.”
Xuan Wei looked at him. “You really love her.”
“Of course. The luckiest thing in my life was meeting her.” Bai Di took out two jars of fruit wine. “Drink with me?”
Xuan Wei took a jar of fruit wine, removed the seal, and took a sip. He sighed. “I’m quite envious of you.”
“Huh?”
“You’ve met someone who loves you and loves you back.” Xuan Wei smiled. “Not everyone has such good luck.”
Bai Di took a sip. “Have you met anyone you like in all these years?”
Xuan Wei drank mouthful after mouthful. After a long time, he sighed and said lightly, “I’ve met her.”
“What happened then? Does she like you too?”
“Yes, she said she liked me.”
Bai Di smiled. “That’s good!”
“She’s quite good.” Xuan Wei tilted her head back and took another long drink. “She’s a very good female. She had just turned into an adult when she met me. She didn’t have any mates around, so I was very surprised when she said she liked me.”
If it were any other time, Xuan Wei would not have said so much.
But the night was too charming. There was also the influence of alcohol, plus the fact that the person accompanying him was his closest family member.
He couldn’t help but lower his guard and spill out the words he had been suppressing.
“I thought no female would take a fancy to a male beast like me who’s neither gentle nor considerate. I can’t say sweet words either. It was really the most unexpected thing that ever happened to me.”
At this point, Xuan Wei suddenly laughed at himself. “Unfortunately, I’m too useless. I can’t give her happiness.”
Bai Di tried, “You’re not together?”
Xuan Wei lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, “Yes, she’s gone.”
Bai Di picked up the wine jar and gently clinked it with his. They continued drinking.
