821 Breakthrough

She had disappeared for a day yesterday.

As he couldn’t speak, no one knew where he had run to. However, from the two wild deer, they could tell that he had run quite far. He had even left the city and entered the forest.

No wonder no one could find him in the city. He had run out of the city.

Huanhuan was quite surprised that he could run so far and accurately find his way home.

The next morning, Huanhuan gave the two wild deers to Eggy as compensation for Clement biting her.

Eggy was quite generous. “It’s not like I died. Plus, you’re back now. All’s good!”

Clement: “…”

Had the fat bird gotten smart overnight?

Bai Di roasted the two wild deer and cut the meat into thin slices. Everyone dipped the deer meat in sauce and wrapped it in vegetables, fruits, or pickles. They ate with relish.

After the meal, the grudge between Eggy and Clement was resolved.

However, Xue Ling still looked for Sang Ye in private.

“Eggy has a good temper and won’t argue with him, but I’m not the same.”

Sang Ye was quite calm. “What do you want?”

“Let’s fight. If you win, we’ll pretend this never happened. If you lose, you’ll have to teach Clement a lesson and let him know that he’ll be beaten up for hurting others.”

“Sure.”

The two of them carried Huanhuan to the back of the mountain to fight.

…

After a day of recuperation, Eggy’s injuries were almost healed. Unable to stand the loneliness, she flapped her wings to find a lackey to play with.

It seemed that she really didn’t take the bite to heart at all.

In her eyes, it was just a bite. It hurt a little, but it was not a big deal. She was fine after sleeping. She had no idea that she had walked to the gates of hell and almost lost her life.

Clement saw his mother smiling at him from the side. He was unwilling to disappoint his mother, so he reluctantly accompanied Eggy to play.

Huanhuan was very relieved to see that the relationship between the siblings had improved instead of being estranged after the conflict.

Nothing was better than a family and peace!

When Huanhuan saw Xue Ling and Sang Ye return, she asked, “Where did you go… Huh? What happened to your faces? Why are you injured?”

She was very surprised to see them bruised.

She could understand Shuang Yun fighting. After all, he was a wolf. It would be strange if he didn’t cause trouble for a day.

But Sang Ye and Xue Ling were different.

They didn’t look like people who would fight!

Xue Ling tidied his hair and tried to look more presentable. He glanced at Sang Ye. “We just had a very friendly spar.”

Sang Ye replied, “Yes.”

Huanhuan looked at the injuries on their faces and exposed them mercilessly. “How old are you? Have you been infected by Shuang Yun?”

Instead of answering, Xue Ling asked, “Did Shuang Yun fight before?”

“Don’t change the topic. Tell me the truth. Why did you fight?”

Xue Ling snorted. “For Eggy, of course.”

“I’m about to die from anger.” Huanhuan glared at him angrily before turning around to take out two cooked eggs from the kitchen. She gave one to Xue Ling and Sang Ye respectively.

Unexpectedly, Xue Ling pried open the eggshell and ate it!

Huanhuan said, “I wanted you to rub the egg over the bruise on your face. Who asked you to eat it?!”

Xue Ling bent down and put his face in front of her. “If there are no more eggs, rub my bruise with your hand.”

Huanhuan pushed him away rudely. “Cook more eggs yourself.”

Xue Ling blinked at her and smiled suggestively. “I don’t want eggs. I want you.”

Huanhuan ignored Xue Ling’s seductive gaze and turned to look at Sang Ye. Seeing that Sang Ye was quietly rubbing the bruise with an egg, she was relieved. “Sang Ye is the most reassuring one.”

After Huanhuan left, Xue Ling looked at Sang Ye with a faint smile.

“Of the four, you’re the best at pretending to be obedient.”

“I’m alright.”

“I didn’t use my full strength just now, or you would have been beaten to the ground by me.”

“Likewise.”

With their strength, if they really tried their best, one of them would definitely die or be injured.

That was too much, however, and it would make Huanhuan angry.

Hence, in the duel just now, the two of them only used their human forms. The battle ended with a draw.

Xue Ling looked Sang Ye up and down. “I didn’t expect your strength to improve so quickly. Did you absorb a lot of demonic energy during your trip to the demon race?”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“Who praised you?”

“You.”

Xue Ling was unhappy. “You look quite honest. Why are you so shameless?”

Sang Ye said nothing, his eyes looking behind him.

Xue Ling immediately turned around and saw Huanhuan walking in.

Huanhuan said angrily, “I’ve only walked away for a while, but you’re bullying Sang Ye behind my back!”

Xue Ling felt wronged. “How was I bullying him?!”

“I heard you call him shameless just now!”

Xue Ling felt that he would never be able to clear his name.

He pointed at Sang Ye and said, “You deliberately provoked me just now!”

Sang Ye asked, “Did I?”

“Don’t even think about pretending!”

Huanhuan rubbed her temples. “Alright, alright. Stop arguing. Go do what you have to do!”

Xue Ling did not expect to be tricked by Sang Ye. He remembered this grudge and planned to get back at him if he had the chance in the future!

At this moment, Bai Hao ran in and called out to his mother.

Seeing that he was sweating from running, Huanhuan poured him a bowl of water. “Don’t be anxious. Drink some water first.”

Bai Hao finished his water and quickly said, “Someone from the 10,000 Beast Temple is here. They said they want to see you!”

Huanhuan was slightly stunned. “Where are they?”

“In the temple. Second Father has already gone to the temple. He asked me to call you over.”

“Wait a moment. I’m going to change.”

Huanhuan went upstairs to change her clothes. Xue Ling leaned over and asked, “Little White, why did the 10,000 Beast Temple suddenly send someone to look for your mother?”

Bai Hao wiped his sweat. “I’m not sure, but from their tone, they must have something urgent to ask her to resolve.”

Bai Di had just come out of the cellar. He had heard his youngest son clearly.

Bai Di washed his hands and said, “The reason why the 10,000 Beast Temple sent people to look for Huanhuan at this time is most likely because something happened in the City of 10,000 Beasts.”

Xue Ling nodded. “I think so.”

Bai Hao didn’t understand. “What can happen in the City of 10,000 Beasts?”

Bai Di said, “The prophet’s whereabouts are unknown. The various factions are taking advantage of the situation to fight for power and resources. As a sitting duck, the Elders’ Association will definitely be jointly suppressed by the various factions. They urgently need a breakthrough.”

Xue Ling smiled. “It seems that they want to use Huanhuan as a breakthrough.”
