Chapter 671 - 671 I'm Not Dead

671 I’m Not Dead
Xue Hui had no choice but to swallow her words and explain with a smile, “How could I hate Huanhuan? She was chosen by the Divine Wood and is the leader of our Divine Wood clan. We all listen to her.”
“In that case, gather the Divine Wood clan later and inform them of Mom’s return. When my father returns, we’ll hold the high priest ceremony for Mom.”
Xue Hui kept nodding, keeping a smile on her face. “Okay, I understand.”
Huanhuan thought for a moment. “When we returned this time, we brought back some tree people with us. They’ll be settling down in Rock City in the future.”!!
Xue Hui was surprised. “Tree people?”
“They’re humans evolved from trees. Their living habits are very different from us beasts, but they’re generally gentler and easier to get along with.”
“How are you going to handle those tree people? Are you going to treat them as slaves?”
“Of course not. When Rock City was just a tribe, we clearly stipulated that there would never be slaves here.” Huanhuan paused and turned to look at her eldest daughter. “This rule hasn’t changed, right?”
Shuang Yin immediately replied no.
Xue Hui apologized. “In the past, there were people on the beast continent who brought back new races from outside, but most of them were sold as slaves, so I thought you also…”
“I don’t care what others do, but there must be no human trafficking in Rock City. Slaves aren’t allowed to appear here.”
Huanhuan’s words were extremely firm. There was no room for negotiation.
Xue Hui asked tentatively, “If… someone in the city is buying and selling people, what will you do?”
“If there has only been a small number of transactions and that person’s hands aren’t stained with blood, they’ll be chased out of Rock City and never be allowed to step into Rock City’s territory again. However, if the number of people bought and sold is especially large and there has been deaths, that person will be executed directly!”
Xue Hui seemed to think of something, and her eyes flashed. “I see…”
Huanhuan glanced at her. “Do you have anything to say?”
“No, I was just asking.”
Xue Hui glanced at the hourglass. “It’s almost noon. Why don’t you stay and have lunch with me? Ah Gui will be here later. He’ll be happy to see you back.”
Speaking of Ah Gui, Huanhuan had indeed not seen him for a long time.
“Is he as awkward as ever?”
Xue Hui chuckled. “His awkwardness has gotten better, but his temper is still rash. He hasn’t found a mate yet.”
“He’s still young. It’s fine for him to wait a few more years.”
“I hope so.”
Lunch was served in the reception room. The table was filled with vegetables, but in order to cater to Shuang Yin and Yun Hui, they specially prepared a few meat dishes.
Xue Hui sighed. “Ah Gui has been doing business outside often all these years. More than half of the trading market in the west of the city is on good terms with him. His future is quite promising now. If his parents know about this, they’ll definitely be very relieved.”
At this point, Xue Hui thanked Huanhuan again. “It’s all thanks to you for suggesting that Ah Gui follow Mayne to learn how to run a business. Otherwise, he would still be a brat.”
Huanhuan smiled. “I was just giving my opinion. It’s thanks to Ah Gui and his hard work.”
Speaking of the devil…
Ah Gui was back.
He had now grown into a handsome young man. He was tall and handsome. One could vaguely see the charm of Bi Huan on him when Bi Huan was younger.
Huanhuan couldn’t help but sigh again. Time passed so quickly. The young boy in her memory had actually grown so tall.
Ah Gui greeted Xue Hui. His gaze inadvertently swept across the others in the house before stopping on Huanhuan.
His eyes widened in disbelief, and his face was filled with shock. “Y-You’re Huanhuan?”
Huanhuan smiled at him. “Are you surprised?”
It was too unexpected!
Ah Gui never dreamed that he would be able to see Huanhuan alive in his life again!
“Aren’t you dead?”
“I’m not dead. It was just a misunderstanding.” Hence, Huanhuan repeated what she had just said to Xue Hui.
It took Ah Gui a lot of effort to digest everything she said, but his mind was still a little confused. “I thought you were already… I didn’t expect you to still be alive. God, this joke is too cruel.”
Xue Hui tapped her fingers on the table. “Sit down and talk while you eat.”
“Oh.”
At the dining table, Ah Gui asked many more questions about Huanhuan after she faked her death.
Huanhuan revealed everything she could. As for the things she couldn’t reveal, she casually made something up.
No one could tell if her words were real or fake.
After eating and drinking her fill, she got up and bade farewell.
Xue Hui said considerately, “You’ve just returned, so you’re definitely not familiar with the environment here. You can get Ah Gui to take you around the city, especially the trading market in the west of the city. He’s very familiar with it. If you go with him, you’ll definitely find something cheap and fun.”
Huanhuan waved her hand. “That’s alright. I’ll be fine with Big Goody. Ah Gui should go busy himself.”
“Shuang Yin goes to the camp to train every day. She’s going today, right?”
Xue Hui and Huanhuan looked at Shuang Yin at the same time.
Shuang Yin said calmly, “It doesn’t matter if I don’t go for a day.”
Huanhuan didn’t want her eldest daughter to change her habits because of her. She hoped that her eldest daughter could live according to her wishes.
“Go to the camp. I’ll get Ah Gui and Little Black to accompany me.”
Shuang Yin was worried about her. “There are too many people in the city. What if…”
“Don’t worry, Little Black is very powerful. With him around, I’ll definitely not be in danger.”
Shuang Yin thought that it was true. As a member of the dragon race, Yun Hui was very powerful. Unless he encountered a peerless expert above 10 stars, it was impossible for the enemy to defeat Yun Hui. With him protecting her mother, she did not have to worry about her safety.
“Alright, then. I’ll go to the camp to train first. Go around the city. I’ll look for you when I’m done.”
“Alright.”
After they went downstairs, they walked out of the temple one after another.
They separated at the door of the temple.
Shuang Yin went to the camp alone. Huanhuan carried Eggy and went shopping with Yun Hui and Ah Gui.
After many expansions, Rock City had become very big. They would definitely not be able to finish shopping in half a day. After consulting Huanhuan, Ah Gui brought them to the trading market in the west of the city.
There were peddlers from all over the beast continent gathered there. It was the most prosperous and lively area in the entire Rock City.
