When Beauty Meets Beasts

682 Hit Me If You Dare!

The shop owner was a mountain monkey and knew how to do things. When he saw Huanhuan standing at the entrance of the shop and not looking like she was going to buy anything, he immediately brought a stool and placed it in front of her.

“You’re waiting for someone, aren’t you? Sit and wait.”

Huanhuan was very grateful. “Thank you!”

Her voice was sweet and soft. The shop owner felt comfortable hearing it, and his smile widened. “It’s just a small matter. You don’t have to thank me.”

Coincidentally, there were guests in the shop. The shop owner went to greet them.

Huanhuan sat on the stool and hugged Eggy in her arms. She kept looking at the street outside the door, waiting for Yun Hui to return.

The two beasts who had just walked into the shop were chatting as they shopped.

“Have you heard? There’s going to be a change of high priest in our city.”

“Who?”

“I heard that Lady Xue Hui is going to be replaced by His Majesty the Beast King’s mate. I don’t know what she looks like.”

“I don’t think she’ll be as good-looking as Lady Xue Hui!”

“Yes, I think so too. In all my years of traveling, I’ve never seen a female more beautiful than Lady Xue Hui!”

“Lady Xue Hui has been a high priest for so many years. It must be difficult for her to be suddenly removed from her post, right?”

“That’s for sure. If that new high priest didn’t rely on the fact that she’s His Majesty the Beast King’s mate, how could she be the new high priest of Rock City?! It’s just that poor Lady Xue Hui has suffered a lot for no reason. My heart aches for her.”

…

Huanhuan heard the conversation between the two beasts in the shop clearly.

She was a little surprised. The high priest’s inauguration ceremony had yet to be held. How did these beasts know that the high priest was going to be replaced?

Could someone have deliberately leaked it?

Huanhuan thought for a moment. The Divine Wood clan had only learned today that the high priest was going to be replaced. Before that, only her family, Xue Hui, and Ah Gui knew about this.

Her family would definitely not do such things. As for Xue Hui and Ah Gui…

She could not be sure about them.

Huanhuan looked thoughtful.

The two beasts in the shop finished shopping and paid the bill. They walked out and continued discussing the topic excitedly.

“His Majesty has been celibate all these years. I thought he was too busy with work to find a new mate. Now, it seems that he’s always been obsessed with his former mate!”

“I wonder what that new high priest is capable of to make His Majesty the Beast King love her so much?”

“I’m guessing that she must be especially good in bed. Maybe she can squeeze His Majesty’s big things especially tightly!”

They laughed wretchedly as they spoke.

They had no idea that the person they were discussing was sitting right beside them.

Huanhuan was alone now and did not want to attract attention. She was about to pretend not to hear anything when Eggy suddenly flew over.

She would never allow her mother to be humiliated like this!

Eggy flew out like a small steel cannon, her sharp claws scratching the faces of the two beasts!

Three deep wounds were left on their faces, and blood immediately flowed.

The two beasts screamed in pain.

“What the hell are you? How dare you launch a sneak attack on us?!”

Eggy shouted at them, “My mother is a very good woman! She’s much better than that Xue Hui! If you dare to insult my mother again, I’ll have you arrested!”

Seeing that the one who ambushed them was a young feather beast, the two beasts were furious. They rolled up their sleeves and pounced on her.

“Stupid girl, I’ll beat you to death!”

Eggy immediately flew high. The two beasts had no wings and couldn’t fly. They could only look up at her in the sky, but they couldn’t do anything to her.

Eggy shook the golden feathers on her body and winked. “Come on, come on! You little bastards! Hit me if you dare!”

The two beasts were so angry that they almost exploded on the spot.

One of them suddenly noticed Lin Huanhuan standing beside him and elbowed his companion beside him. “This female must be the mother of that hatchling. Let’s capture her and see if that hatchling still dares to be arrogant!”

His companion hesitated. “That’s not a good idea…”

After all, she was a female!

In this extremely precious era, no matter how much hatred there was, male beasts usually wouldn’t attack females.

“We’re not going to kill her. We’re just going to capture her and scare that hatchling.” In any case, he couldn’t accept that he was scratched!

At this moment, Huanhuan had already noticed the two beasts’ sneaky appearance.

She thought for a moment and could guess what they wanted to do.

Huanhuan called Little Green out.

Green mutated creepers darted out and tied up the two hesitant beasts.

The two beasts did not expect this petite female in front of them to have such a trick up her sleeve. As they were caught off guard, they were immediately tied up.

They struggled desperately, but instead of breaking free, they were bound closer and closer by the mutated creeper vines.

The fine barbs on the creeper vines’ surface cut wounds on their bodies. The poison on the barbs came into contact with the wounds and flowed into their bodies.

The beasts quickly felt dizzy and weak in their limbs. Finally, they fainted.

When the shop owner saw that the two beasts were about to bully Huanhuan, he quickly ran over to call for help. Unexpectedly, after he called for help, he realized that the two beasts had already fallen to the ground and were motionless.

As for the little female who was almost bullied just now, she was standing there elegantly without any injuries.

The shop owner couldn’t help but be shocked.

What surprised him even more was that Ah Gui had rushed over with more than a dozen beast workers!

Ah Gui was good at doing business. Now, almost half of the merchants in this trading market had business dealings with him. His inextricable interests tied him closely to this trading market, so as soon as he appeared, many shop owners went out to greet him.

Ah Gui nimbly pushed the shop owners aside and quickly walked up to Huanhuan.

“Nothing happened to you, right?”

Eggy landed on Huanhuan’s shoulder and lowered her head to comb her feathers. She didn’t even look at Ah Gui.

Her father had told her that it was best not to even look at people she didn’t like.

Huanhuan was surprised that Ah Gui would suddenly appear. “Why are you here?”

“I heard that you were alone in the trading market on the west of the city. I was worried that you would be in danger here, so I specially brought some people to protect you.”

Ah Gui paused and glanced at the two unconscious beasts. He frowned. “What’s wrong with these two?”

“They said some nonsense just now, so I taught them a lesson.”
