When Beauty Meets Beasts

648 Don’t Worry, I’m Strong!

Under her disgusted gaze, Shuang Yun, Xue Ling, and Yun Hui continued to play cards.

As it was his first time playing, Yun Hui was unfamiliar with the game. Yun Hui lost his first round quite badly.

He finished the entire bucket of water alone.

Shuang Yun smiled especially proudly. He even deliberately said to Huanhuan, “This person is stubborn and especially stupid. Don’t let him seduce you in the future.”

In the end, Shuang Yun lost three rounds in a row.

He got his retribution as fast as lightning!

Shuang Yun drank three large buckets of water with a dark expression.

Huanhuan felt bloated just watching from the side.

Shuang Yun lost the fifth round again.

Actually, just based on their skills and experience in playing cards, Shuang Yun and Xue Ling were better than Yun Hui, but his luck was off the charts. Every card he touched was surprisingly good.

He relied on his explosive luck to win again and again, pressing Shuang Yun onto the throne of failure.

Shuang Yun had no choice but to pick up the wooden bucket again and drink the fourth bucket of water in one go.

He put down the empty bucket and burped.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask, “Can you still do it?”

As long as it was a male beast, he wouldn’t be able to stand others questioning his ability, especially since the person asking was his wife!

Even if he couldn’t, he had to say yes!

Shuang Yun shook his chest muscles. “Don’t worry, I’m strong!”

Huanhuan: “…”

He was too stupid that she couldn’t look straight at him!

The three of them continued to play cards. Yun Hui had another good hand. He glanced at Huanhuan, then threw Shuang Yun and Xue Ling an expression that said, ‘You guys are on your own.’

Xue Ling’s cards were average, but he was cunning. He was especially good at figuring out his opponent’s thoughts. Even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t lose.

On the other hand, Shuang Yun knew that his wife was watching. Even though he knew that he would lose, he still braced himself and rushed forward.

In his words, even if he lost, he had to lose magnificently!

Huanhuan was indeed convinced.

While they were playing cards, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Bai Di put down the sea map and got up to open the door. He found the innkeeper standing outside.

“What can I do for you?”

“A guest is looking for you downstairs.”

Bai Di was puzzled. “Who is it?”

“I don’t know. The guest only said he wanted to see you.”

Bai Di turned around to inform Huanhuan, then followed the innkeeper downstairs. He saw a man in a black robe sitting in the reception room downstairs.

The innkeeper faced the man and said, “The person you’re looking for is here.”

The man said nothing.

The innkeeper tactfully left the reception room.

Bai Di walked over and sat in the chair opposite the man.

The two figures faced each other.

The man looked up slightly, revealing a strange face.

In terms of facial features, this person was very handsome, but there were many strange dark red patterns drawn on his cheeks. Coupled with his malicious gray-white pupils, he looked especially strange and sinister.

Bai Di studied him without changing his expression. “May I ask who you are?”

“My name is Zhi. I have a younger brother called Yan.”

Bai Di thought for a moment, then reacted. “Zhi Yan?!”

The corners of the man’s mouth twitched into a stiff and jerky smile. “It seems that Xue Ling has already told you about us.”

Bai Di thought Zhi Yan was one person, but it turned out Zhi Yan were two different people.

His scorching eyes flashed. “Many people think that Yan and I are the same person. Actually, we’re two different people. Yan is more impulsive and irritable. It was his decision to appear rashly at the volcano the last time. I couldn’t stop him.”

Bai Di frowned. “You know what I was thinking?”

Zhi raised his hand to his cheek. The dark red patterns on it were a stark contrast to his pale fingers. “I can read people’s minds.”

Bai Di was wary.

Before he could speak, Zhi said, “You don’t have to be too nervous. I came to talk to you.”

“We have nothing to talk about.” Bai Di stood up. “If you have anything to say, I can call Xue Ling down and let you catch up.”

“If Xue Ling comes, the two of us won’t be able to say anything.”

Bai Di ignored him and headed for the door.

Zhi didn’t move. “Don’t you want to know where Lin Huanhuan came from?”

Bai Di stopped.

Zhi smiled. “Your heart tells me you want to know.”

Bai Di ignored him.

Zhi didn’t take his vigilance to heart and continued, “We’re alone here. You can sit down and hear me out. If you think I’m lying, you can go upstairs and verify it with your little female.”

Bai Di’s gaze lingered on him. “What do you want?”

“I told you, I just want to talk to you. After that, I’ll leave. I definitely won’t disturb your loving life.”

Bai Di was still hesitating. Logic told him that there was something strange about the man in front of him. He should leave immediately.

But he wanted to know Huanhuan’s background.

In the past, he could tolerate Huanhuan’s secrets and ignore them. However, as time passed and their relationship deepened, he became more and more concerned about her little secrets.

Especially her background.

Zhi said slowly, “If I were you, I would definitely figure out a woman’s past and future as long as I took a fancy to her. That way, I can find her no matter where she goes in the future.”

Clearly, he knew exactly what Bai Di cared about.

He cared about Huanhuan the most.

He was worried that she would suddenly leave like last time, leaving him at a loss. He wouldn’t know where to go even if he wanted to look for her.

…

Shuang Yun lost ten rounds in a row, and his stomach was already bulging from the water.

He slumped on the bed and struggled to shout, “I can still drink! Come, again! I can definitely defeat you!”

Huanhuan couldn’t stand it anymore. She raised her hand and pressed it against his stomach.

Water rushed from his stomach to his throat.

Shuang Yun opened his mouth and spat it out.

Xue Ling immediately hugged Eggy and dodged with a gloating expression. “This bed is yours tonight.”

He actually vomited in front of his little female. Shuang Yun felt very embarrassed. He rushed out of the room angrily and shouted, “We’ll continue when I’m done peeing!”

Huanhuan really wanted to lock him in the toilet to stop him from causing trouble.

Yun Hui asked nonchalantly, “Bai Di isn’t back yet?”

That was right. Bai Di had been down there for quite a while. Why wasn’t he back yet?

Huanhuan immediately stood up. “I’ll go downstairs and take a look.”

Yun Hui and Xue Ling got up at the same time.

“We’ll go with you.”

It was just one floor down. Huanhuan didn’t think there was any danger, but she knew it was useless even if she refused. They wouldn’t let her go out alone.

The three of them left the bedroom and went downstairs together.

Huanhuan found the innkeeper and learned that Bai Di was still in the reception room, so she went to knock on the door.
