Chapter 704 - 704 You Deserve It

704 You Deserve It
Xue Hui had been feeling very itchy and uncomfortable these days. Something seemed to be crawling on her back, but she couldn’t get any relief from scratching. In the end, her skin was badly scratched, but it still couldn’t ease the itchiness.
Now that she saw the worm in Sang Ye’s hand, she finally understood what had been torturing her these past few days.
Huanhuan said, “Do you know why this stone worm appeared in your body?”
Xue Hui didn’t answer the question. Instead, she asked nervously, “You’ve already gotten the worm out, but why can’t I move? Am I going to die?”!!
Huanhuan looked at the mottled wounds on her body.
Bai Di was too ruthless and didn’t leave her a way out.
Even if it weren’t for the stone worm, she wouldn’t be able to live.
When she didn’t get a response from Huanhuan, the last hope in Xue Hui’s eyes disappeared.
She fell into fear of death and roared in despair, “I don’t want to die!”
“Then why did you break the contract? Why did you use that sinister secret technique to avoid the backlash?”
Xue Hui was filled with resentment. “If I didn’t break the contract, you would’ve snatched everything away from me. I can’t let that happen!”
Huanhuan looked at her calmly. “Back then, your Divine Wood clan suffered a calamity. I was the one who took you in. All these years, I’ve never mistreated your Divine Wood clan, but you repaid kindness with ingratitude. You brought this upon yourself.”
“How can you say that you’ve never treated us badly? We worked so hard to build our family business, but you want to give it to the tree tribe with just a word. Our Divine Wood clan and the feather tribe have difficulty reproducing, but you’re only willing to help them and not us. You always say that you’re kind and moral, but in fact, you’ve never really thought about us!”
Xue Hui’s eyes were filled with resentment.
Huanhuan was speechless.
She had made the arrangements for the tree tribe out of consideration for the overall situation. As for the Divine Wood clan’s fertility problem, it was because of their past mistakes. Even if Huanhuan wanted to help, she was powerless.
But even if she told Xue Hui these reasons, she wouldn’t believe her.
In Xue Hui’s opinion, Huanhuan was selfish and biased. Huanhuan wanted to force the Divine Wood clan to a dead end.
If not for Xue Hui’s deep obsession, she wouldn’t have dared to violate the contract and risk the backlash to kidnap Huanhuan.
Huanhuan couldn’t be bothered to explain and only asked indifferently.
“Have you ever thought about what would have happened to you if I hadn’t taken you in back then?”
Xue Hui didn’t answer.
It was because she couldn’t answer.
If Huanhuan had not nodded in agreement back then, Shuang Yun would never have agreed to let the Divine Wood clan live in the rock mountain. At that time, the Divine Wood clan would have to wander around. They might even be hunted down by the City of 10,000 Beasts.
Just thinking about it made her feel very miserable.
Huanhuan said slowly, “You only remember what I couldn’t do for you, but you forgot what I once gave you.”
Xue Hui bit her lower lip and avoided Huanhuan’s gaze.
“Take care of yourself.”
Huanhuan turned to leave.
Xue Hui hurriedly shouted, “I’m dying. Can’t you save me?”
Huanhuan stopped and asked, “You almost got me killed, and now you want me to save you?”
Clearly, Xue Hui also felt that her request was too shameless, but her life was at stake. In order to survive, she could only brace herself and say, “I can tell you everything about the secret technique as long as you can save me.”
Huanhuan said nothing.
Xue Hui quickly continued, “Previously, I only told Bai Di about the secret technique to transfer the backlash, but I didn’t say the origin of this secret technique. I’m sure you’ll be very interested in its origin.”
“Yes, I’m quite interested,” Huanhuan said slowly. “I’ll get Bai Di to talk to you later.”
Xue Hui paled at the mention of Bai Di.
“No! Don’t call him over! I don’t want to see him!”
“If you don’t want to tell me the truth, I’m sure you’ll be willing to tell him.” Huanhuan walked out as if preparing to call Bai Di to help with the questioning.
Xue Hui shouted in fear, “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything. Please don’t let Bai Di come over!”
Huanhuan stopped.
She was a little surprised. She had frightened Xue Hui with just a few words. It seemed that Bai Di had left a deep shadow in her heart.
Afraid that Huanhuan would change her mind and look for Bai Di, Xue Hui quickly finished her sentence.
“This secret technique was taught to me by Wu Huan.”
Wu Huan? Huanhuan thought for a moment. “The high priest of the Dark Moon Temple?”
“It’s him. Ah Gui met him when he went to Dark Moon City to do business. He learned that we had a contract with you, so he told us that there was a secret technique that could avoid the backlash of the contract. However, he had conditions. We had to provide him with 300 slaves.”
“300?” Huanhuan’s gaze focused. “Previously, I saw 99 slaves at the altar of the Dark Moon Temple. Were they all sent over by you?”
Xue Hui explained softly, “Wu Huo paid us according to the market price. It was a fair deal.”
Huanhuan laughed in anger.
“Fair deal? You guys were in cahoots!”
Xue Hui was speechless and avoided her gaze.
From Xue Hui’s account, Huanhuan knew that they had traded with the Dark Moon Temple three times. The number of people they sent over to the Dark Moon Temple each time was about 100.
The first two times went smoothly, but the last time was ruined by Huanhuan.
Huanhuan did not dare to think about what had happened to the 200 slaves.
She felt a chill run down her spine.
How cruel must one be to trade 300 lives as goods?
Xue Hui struggled to reach out and tug at Huanhuan’s skirt. She begged, “I’ve told you everything I know. Please save me on account of our past relationship!”
Huanhuan bent down and raised her chin.
“I can’t save you, but I can send you off.”
The lotus opened its layers of petals and bit Xue Hui’s head!
As the lotus specially used its leaves to block Huanhuan, the blood did not splash on her.
Xue Hui’s body collapsed to the ground, and blood flowed.
Huanhuan took two steps back. “Jiu Yuan, I’ll leave this to you.”
“Alright.”
Huanhuan and Sang Ye walked out of the cell.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but Huanhuan still felt her limbs go cold. She subconsciously approached Sang Ye and hugged his arm tightly. “Don’t move. Let me lean on you for a while.”
Sang Ye looked down at her pale face. “Where are you feeling unwell?”
“I don’t feel good.”
Sang Ye was silent.
He could roughly guess why Huanhuan felt uncomfortable, but comforting others was not his forte. He could only stand quietly like a big tree so that the little female could rely on him without worry.
The sun elongated their shadows.
They snuggled close to each other.
