When Beauty Meets Beasts

653 The Little Female Is Lying

Seeing that they were very satisfied with these fruits, Ju An took the initiative to say, “We still have a lot of these fruits. We can sell them to you.”

Huanhuan said, “In addition to the fruits, we want to buy some seeds.”

Seeds? Ju An and Hui Jian froze at the same time.

Seeing that she was a little girl, Hui Jian thought that she was just interested in farming, so he reminded her kindly, “We have a lot of seeds for these fruit trees, but they’re very difficult to plant. They have to be taken care of very carefully. Even if you buy the seeds back, it’ll only be a waste. It’s better to just buy some fruits.”

“Don’t worry, we plant fruit trees and vegetables at home. These seeds shouldn’t be a problem for us.”

Hearing that they also planted fruit trees, Hui Jian was curious. “What fruit trees do you plant?”

Huanhuan took out two bags of fruits. There were sweet fruits, red berries, and crispy fruits. There were also some radishes and peanuts.

Ju An and Hui Jian had never seen these fruits and vegetables before. They tried every food, and they all tasted unexpectedly good.

Hui Jian couldn’t help but ask, “Did you really plant these yourself?”

“Of course.”

Hui Jian looked her up and down, thinking about something. His expression was complicated.

Ju An thought for a moment. “How about this? We’ll sell you the seeds of the fruit trees. You don’t have to give us crystals and gold coins. Just give us some seeds.”

Huanhuan pointed at the fruits and vegetables she had just taken out. “You mean the seeds for these things?”

“Yes.”

Huanhuan took out the seeds for the sweet fruits, red berries, and fragrant and crispy fruits. “I can take out the seeds of these three fruits to exchange for the other seeds, but the seeds of the two vegetables can’t be sold for the time being.”

She had exchanged the seeds for radishes and peanuts from the mall with crystals. They were mutated plant seeds and could not be sold casually.

Ju An was a little disappointed, but he nodded. “Alright, let’s trade.”

By the time the two sides finished trading, the colorful flowers on Ju An’s head had already retracted. The butterfly flowers had also returned to Huanhuan’s green crystal bracelet.

Hui Jian’s expression changed slightly when he noticed this.

He stared at the green crystal bracelet on Huanhuan’s wrist with a burning gaze. “Little girl, where did you get the bead bracelet?”

Huanhuan touched the bracelet and replied vaguely, “My elders gave it to me.”

Bai Di gave her a meaningful look.

She never had relatives since she appeared. How did she suddenly have elders?

The little female was lying.

Seeing that Huanhuan was wise and mature, he sensed that she was unwilling to say too much about the bracelet. He could only change the topic. “I remember that most of you beasts eat meat. Why are you planting these vegetables and fruits?”

“There are also vegetarian beasts. We can sell the vegetables and fruits we can’t finish at home. It’ll be an additional source of income.”

Huanhuan’s answer was methodical. Hui Jian nodded slightly. “That’s not bad.”

In addition to the seeds, Huanhuan also bought a lot of cloth from Ju An.

These fabrics were divided into flower silk and leaf silk according to the materials used to make them. Their texture was similar to shark silk, but they were slightly thicker and had more colors. Bai Di thought that these materials would look good on Huanhuan if he made dresses out of them.

After buying what they wanted, Huanhuan’s family prepared to leave.

Before she left, Hui Jian stopped her.

He smiled rather kindly. “Your name is Huanhuan, right?”

Huanhuan nodded.

“When we came from the blue wind continent this time, we brought a sapling with us. There’s a fruit on it. I want you to help pick it. I wonder if you’re willing to help me?”

After hearing him, Ju An’s expression immediately changed.

“That sapling is our—”

Hui Jian raised his hand to stop him from continuing. His eyes were fixed on Huanhuan as he waited for her answer.

Huanhuan felt that this request was strange. She couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you asking me to pick the fruit? Can’t you pick it yourself?”

“That sapling has a bad temper. It’ll be very angry if someone it doesn’t like picks its fruit.”

This was the first time Huanhuan had heard of a sapling having a temper. Could it be that the sapling had a spirit?

Thinking of this, she became interested in the sapling.

Huanhuan first looked back at Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling. Seeing that they had no intention of objecting, she said, “Can you let me see that sapling first?”

“The sapling is inside. Please follow me.”

Hui Jian walked shakily toward the house, leaning on his cane.

Ju An seemed to disagree with his decision. He tried to stop him several times, but the old man just pushed him away.

Helpless, Ju An had no choice but to follow and support Hui Jian so that he wouldn’t fall if he wasn’t careful.

Huanhuan followed them into the back room.

This room was smaller. In addition to the bed and cabinet, there was a clay basin by the window. There seemed to be a sapling planted in the basin, but the sapling was covered by a piece of cloth, so outsiders couldn’t see what was beneath.

Hui Jian let Ju An remove the cloth.

Ju An was very hesitant. “Elder, you should consider it…”

“What’s there to consider? We’ve already come to this. It’s not like she’ll die if we let her try!” Although Hui Jian was old, he had a temper. Seeing that Ju An was unwilling to move, he hit his calf with his walking cane. “Quick! Don’t dawdle like a woman!”

Due to Ju An’s gentle appearance, he hated it when people said that he looked like a woman.

However, the person who said this now was Elder Hui Jian. Ju An did not dare to lose his temper with him. He could only swallow his anger and move. He slowly removed the cloth bit by bit.

There was indeed a small sapling under the cloth. It had a very ordinary brown stem and green leaves.

At the top of the sapling hung a small golden fruit.

Hui Jian said to Huanhuan, “Go and pick that golden fruit.”

Bai Di and the others were watching. She shouldn’t be in any danger.

Huanhuan obediently walked up to the sapling and stood on her tiptoes to pick the fruit…

The sapling did not reject her approach. Seeing that she was about to pick the fruit, Hui Jian and Ju An’s eyes widened involuntarily. They held their breaths, feeling so nervous that their hearts almost stopped.

However…

Huanhuan couldn’t pick the fruit.

The reason was that the sapling was too tall. With her height, she could not reach the fruit even when she stood on tiptoes and straightened her arms.

Huanhuan held her breath and jumped up twice, but she still couldn’t touch the fruit.

This was awkward.

There was a snort of laughter behind her.

Huanhuan suddenly turned around and glared at Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling. “Don’t laugh!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shuang Yun and Xue Ling couldn’t help but laugh again.

Hahahaha!

Even Bai Di and Yun Hui, who didn’t show their emotions, couldn’t help but smile reservedly.

Huanhuan flew into a rage out of humiliation. “So what if you guys are tall?!”

Eggy jumped on her head and chirped crisply. “Chirp chirp!”
