When Beauty Meets Beasts

638 I Can’t Live Without You

In the end, they cut off Helena’s tongue and forced some medicine into her mouth that affected her mind.

The attendant she brought with her was also silenced.

Bai Di and Shuang Yun left the scene with Huanhuan and Eggy. Xue Ling deliberately pretended to be someone with ill intentions and caught the attention of the nearby guards. He led them to Helena, who was on her last breath.

Bai Di and Shuang Yun brought Huanhuan back to the banquet hall. The three of them pretended that nothing had happened and sat quietly in a corner to rest.

The sharp-eyed Shuang Yun noticed a guard walking quickly into the banquet hall.

The guard walked past the many well-dressed guests and approached Allen. He whispered a few words.

Allen’s expression changed.

He immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and strode up to the dragon emperor. “Your Majesty, something happened to the princess,” he whispered.

The dragon emperor was having fun with Cynthia when he heard Allen’s words. He frowned slightly. “What happened? Tell me more.”

“The thing is…”

Allen explained how the guards had accidentally discovered that Helena was seriously injured and unconscious.

Knowing that his daughter was about to die, the dragon emperor was furious. He immediately pushed the woman in his arms away and scolded in a low voice, “You can’t even protect the princess well. What’s the point of me keeping you guards? You’re a bunch of trash!”

Allen lowered his head to listen to the lecture, not daring to argue.

“Where’s Helena now? Take me to her immediately!”

“Alright.”

The dragon emperor strode out of the banquet hall with Helen, leaving Cynthia behind.

She, who was alone, did not feel embarrassed or depressed at all. Someone came forward to ask why the dragon emperor had suddenly left.

Cynthia smiled and replied calmly, “The princess is sick. His Majesty is very worried, so he went to take a look.”

“But we just saw the princess and she looked very healthy. How did she suddenly fall sick?”

“Maybe it was a sudden illness. I’m not sure. If you’re curious, you can ask His Majesty in person when he comes back.”

How would these ladies of the dragon race dare to ask the dragon emperor for information? They all shut up and stopped asking for trouble.

Xue Ling had already returned to the banquet hall.

He sat down beside Huanhuan and looked down at her pale face. His heart ached. “Does the wound still hurt?”

“I’m better now.”

Not long after the dragon emperor left, the banquet came to an end. The guests left one after another.

Huanhuan was in Bai Di’s arms as the family of five mixed with the crowd.

After leaving the palace, they found a hotel in the city.

The palace was in chaos because of the princess’ serious injuries. The dragon emperor was furious and swore to catch the culprit who hurt his daughter.

As one of the parties involved, Huanhuan did not know how chaotic the situation in the palace was.

She was sitting on the bed. Bai Di knelt in front of her on one knee and gently removed the bandage.

Her physique was special, and her self-healing ability was strong. In just over two hours, the wound on her chest had almost healed. Now, there was only a shallow scar.

Bai Di stroked the scar gently. “If anything like what happened tonight happens again, you’re not allowed to act alone.”

Huanhuan remembered how angry he was when he bit Helena and knew that he was really frightened today.

She touched his cheek. “I’m sorry.”

Bai Di took her palm and lowered his head to kiss it. “You have to remember that I can’t live without you.”

Huanhuan’s heartstrings were plucked.

“I’ll do whatever you want. I’ll go wherever you go. My only condition is that you’ll stay with me forever. You’re not allowed to leave me.”

Bai Di’s voice was soft, but every word was clear.

The words landed on Huanhuan’s heart, making her feel even more guilty.

“I’m sorry. I was rash this time.”

At that time, she only wanted to catch Cyril quickly. She did not expect that she and Eggy would be in danger after Shuang Yun left.

Bai Di looked at her gently. “Then do you know what you did wrong?”

“Yes, I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again.” Huanhuan repented seriously.

“You’re a good child considering you know your mistake.” Bai Di sat on the bed, picked her up, and placed her on his lap. “But to teach you a lesson, I still have to punish you today.”

Huanhuan was stunned. “Huh?!”

Shouldn’t Bai Di let bygones be bygones after she admitted her mistake? The two of them should just continue to live happily ever after, no?

Why was there a punishment?!

Before she could react, Bai Di flipped her over. He lifted the hem of her dress and removed her panties, revealing her fair buttocks.

Bai Di raised his hand and slapped her butt.

There was a striking sound.

Huanhuan came back to her senses and was ashamed and angry. “Why did you hit me?!”

“I used to think that you were just our family’s big baby. It didn’t matter if I doted on you a little more. But you keep repeating the same mistakes, so I’ve realized that our family has to set a few family rules to restrain you. That way, you won’t have these old habits in the future.”

He wasn’t afraid that she would cause trouble, but he was afraid that she would put herself in danger.

Bai Di smacked her again, and two patches of red appeared on her soft buttocks.

Huanhuan howled in pain.

She cried, “Help! Bai Di is abusing me!”

Shuang Yun and Xue Ling rushed over when they heard her. Even Eggy flew in and circled the place curiously.

Huanhuan looked at Shuang Yun and Xue Ling for help with tears in her eyes.

Shuang Yun said stiffly, “It’s my fault this time. Don’t hit Huanhuan.”

He was awkward to begin with and not good at persuading people. Coupled with the fact that he was admitting his mistake this time, his words were dry.

Xue Ling grabbed Bai Di’s wrist. “Huanhuan is still injured. It’s fine to educate her a little, but don’t worsen her injury.”

Bai Di was calm. “I just checked. She’s recovered. A small beating won’t hurt.”

Huanhuan cried, “What do you mean it doesn’t hurt? I’m your wife, not a rock. It hurts!”

“My heart aches even more for hitting you, but I have to educate you well so that you won’t be so rash next time.”

Unable to outtalk him, Huanhuan could only cry.

Shuang Yun usually liked to bicker with Huanhuan, but he was actually the easiest to soften among his four mates. His heart ached when he saw Huanhuan crying pitifully.

“Bai Di, just hit her twice. Don’t take it too seriously. She’s not just your mate. She’s the mate of the four of us. If you break her, the three of us won’t let you off.”

But Bai Di said, “She put the main ring on me back then, which means I’m the head of this family. There are some things I have the right and the obligation to manage.”

Main ring?

Shuang Yun and Xue Ling were stunned at the same time. “What main ring?”

Huanhuan immediately stopped crying. She had a bad feeling.

Bai Di waved the main ring on his ring finger. “This is the main ring. You’re all wearing secondary rings.”

The meaning of the main and secondary rings was obvious from the words.

Shuang Yun and Xue Ling both looked at Huanhuan.

Huanhuan: “…”

‘No, let me explain. This is really just a misunderstanding!’
