When Beauty Meets Beasts

581 I Miss You So Much

The emerald glowed faintly green in Murphy’s palm.

A moment later, a green ball of light flew out of the emerald. It circled Murphy three times before burrowing between his eyebrows.

Murphy felt a powerful force coursing through his body. The wound on his shoulder healed quickly.

He clenched the emerald thoughtfully. “This is…”

The Elven Queen stared at him with wide eyes and laughed foolishly. “The heart of fairy has accepted you. From now on, you’re the new Elf King.”

Murphy reached out to her, trying to help her up.

However, Catherine dodged his hand.

She grabbed her hair and kept muttering almost neurotically, “I’m dirty. I deserve to die. I’m a symbol of sin…”

The elves arrived at the top of the mountain one after another. When they saw Catherine’s sorry state, they immediately surrounded her and shouted indignantly.

“Filthy night elves aren’t qualified to approach the Tree of Life. Get lost!”

Catherine heard their curses and laughed again. “I’m a night elf! I’m a monster! Hahaha!”

People started picking up rocks to throw at her!

Murphy blocked the rocks.

He shielded Catherine behind him and glanced at the elves. “At this point, do you still want to fight among yourselves?!”

Old Milo stood up shakily. He leaned on his cane and frowned. “She’s a night elf. She’ll pollute the holy Tree of Life. We can’t let her stay here.”

Murphy said in a low voice, “With me around, no one can chase her away.”

“Do you think you can stop so many of us alone?”

Murphy took out the emerald. “I’ve been recognized by the heart of fairy. Now, I’m the king of the elves. As the king of the elves, I order you not to hurt my mother!”

Everyone was stunned.

They stared at the emerald in Murphy’s hand, their gazes uncertain.

Old Milo walked forward shakily with his walking stick. He took a closer look at the emerald and finally confirmed that it was indeed the heart of fairy.

Old Milo asked, “How can you prove that you’ve been recognized by the heart of fairy?”

Murphy opened his fingers, and a golden light immediately appeared in his palm.

It was a plant spirit.

Only the Elf King could summon the spirits of the elves he controlled.

Not only Old Milo, but even the other elves present could confirm that the heart of fairy had indeed recognized Murphy as the Elf King.

No matter how unwilling everyone was, they could only bend down and bow to the new Elf King.

The ground under their feet suddenly shook.

Someone exclaimed, “The giants are attacking!”

It was not only the giants. The Goffins, who had fallen into chaos because they were leaderless, now had a new leader after an intense battle. Under the lead of the new leader, they rushed aggressively toward the top of the mountain.

The elves were pale with fear. They knelt down and prayed to the Tree of Life, begging it to save them.

Catherine suddenly stood up and rushed down the mountain in a determined manner when no one was looking.

Murphy shouted, “Mother!”

However, Catherine did not stop.

She ran with all her might and rushed into the enemy army like a moth to a flame, detonating the evil aura in her body!

She could no longer live with this dirty body.

Hence, she chose death.

But even if she died, she would drag these enemies down with her!

There was a loud bang at the foot of the mountain!

The ground shook, and black blood light soared into the sky.

The elves standing on the mountaintop trembled and froze on the spot.

They did not expect Catherine to be so determined.

Murphy looked at the blood mist at the foot of the mountain. His eyes were a little sore. Before he realized it, tears had fallen.

Although Catherine was arrogant, narrow-minded, and selfish, and she also had the bad habits of all elves, she was still the one who raised Murphy. This mother-and-son relationship could never be erased.

Therefore, even though Catherine had made many mistakes and many people hated her very much, Murphy still did not give up on her.

In his eyes, she would always be his mother.

…

“Huanhuan.”

A familiar voice entered her ears, waking Huanhuan from her sleep.

She opened her eyes and saw a familiar person squatting in front of her.

Huanhuan struggled to sit up and rubbed her eyes hard. Then, she saw that the person squatting in front of her was Bai Di!

He took her hand away and said gently, “Don’t rub your eyes too hard. It’s bad for your eyes.”

Huanhuan was so shocked that her brain could not react. She said blankly, “But my eyes don’t feel good…”

“Then I’ll blow on them for you.”

Bai Di cupped the back of her head with one hand and lifted her chin with the other. He lowered his head and leaned over to blow into her eyes.

A familiar aura assaulted her, making her heart ache. Tears immediately fell.

Bai Di quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. “Why are you suddenly crying? Are your eyes still uncomfortable?”

Huanhuan buried her face in his arms. “Bai Di, I missed you so much.”

Bai Di paused, then pulled her tightly into his arms. “I missed you too,” he sighed helplessly.

She had finally returned to her identity.

It was as if he had regained half his life. All his uneasiness and worries were settled.

Huanhuan snuggled in his arms for a long time until her stomach growled with hunger. Only then did she let go of him in embarrassment.

Bai Di asked, “What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

Huanhuan shook her head. “I have things to do. I don’t have time to cook. I’ll just eat something and deal with it.”

Bai Di took out two meat pies. “I made these at home. Take them.”

Seeing that there was meat pie to eat, Huanhuan’s eyes immediately lit up.

As the elves were vegetarians, Huanhuan could only eat fruits and vegetables every day. She had not eaten meat in a long time.

Huanhuan grabbed the meat pie and ate it in big mouthfuls. It tasted especially good!

Bai Di poured her water. “Eat slowly. Don’t choke.”

Huanhuan took the water from him and lowered her head to drink it.

After eating and drinking her fill, Huanhuan asked where the others were.

Bai Di said, “After the black dragon led us through Misty Forest, the four of us split up and searched the mountain for you. I was lucky to find you first. The other three are probably still looking for you.”

With Shuang Yun, Xue Ling, and the black dragon’s strength, they didn’t have to worry about being at a disadvantage, so Bai Di wasn’t worried about their safety at all.

Huanhuan quickly said, “Is there any way to call the three of them over? I have a friend in danger. I want to help him out.”

Bai Di said, “We agreed that whoever finds you first will light a smoke signal. The others will rush over to gather when they see the smoke.”

The so-called smoke signal was smoke formed after dried wolf feces were lit.

Naturally, the wolf dung was provided by Shuang Yun.

Huanhuan looked at the wolf feces in front of her and pinched her nose. “Has Shuang Yun been ill recently? His poop stinks!”
