When Beauty Meets Beasts

758 Divine Guard

Huanhuan followed Little Brat’s instructions and placed the tip of the dagger on Bai Di’s shoulder. Her clear voice rippled.

“In the name of the prophet, I give you the power of a god. May you be loyal, brave, and strong!”

A holy white light appeared on the blade.

The star pattern on Bai Di’s body burned, and the energy in his body stirred. Lightning flashed in the sky.

A moment later, he actually advanced!

Bai Di’s soul beast had risen to ten stars!

This change was so sudden that Huanhuan froze on the spot.

She heard Little Brat say, “Every divine guard has a contract with the prophet. The prophet gives the divine guard strength, and the divine guard is loyal to the prophet. The deeper the bond between the prophet and the divine guard, the more power the divine guard gets from the prophet. Bai Di suddenly upgraded because the power you gave him was too strong. In other words, the relationship between the two of you is too deep.”

At this point, Little Brat couldn’t help but feel a little depressed.

“You’re just signing a contract with a divine guard, but you actually made an onlooker bear witness to your PDA. You’re really great.”

Huanhuan smiled happily.

According to the rules, the divine guards were directly under the jurisdiction of the prophet. Even the Elders’ Association had no right to mobilize them.

If a priest committed a serious crime, the divine guards had special authority to act first and report later.

Furthermore, as the successor of the prophet and the temporary head of the 10,000 Beast Temple, Bai Di had nothing to worry about now that he had her approval.

Bai Di walked toward Wen Qian.

Wen Qian finally panicked. He could not break free from Bai Hao’s restraint and could only shout at the top of his lungs, “What do you want? Don’t come over! I’m a high priest. If you dare to kill me, the entire Sun God Temple won’t let you off! Moreover, I have someone above me. He won’t sit back and watch me be killed!”

“You’ve committed a heinous crime. You deserve to be executed. I’m under orders to execute you. If anyone from the Sun God Temple is unconvinced, they can appeal to the 10,000 Beast Temple.” Bai Di stopped a step away from him. “But let me remind you that Huanhuan is temporarily the prophet. She’s the head of the 10,000 Beast Temple. Who dares to sue her? Even the backer behind you can only shut his mouth and behave.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Di’s claws reached into Wen Qian’s chest and grabbed his heart.

Wen Qian’s face was twisted in pain as he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Bai Di looked at him and said calmly, “Let me ask you something. If you can answer me truthfully, I’ll let you die a quick death.”

Wen Qian was in so much pain that other than cries of pain, he couldn’t make any other sound.

Bai Di approached him. “Did you plot to kill my mother back then?”

“Ahhh!!!”

Bai Di squeezed his heart. “If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll cut a few more holes in you and fill them with boiling water…”

“No, don’t! I’ll say it! I did it! I did it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Di dug out his entire heart!

Blood splattered.

Wen Qian’s eyes widened, and his ferocious expression stayed on his face. He was completely dead.

Bai Di wanted to throw away the heart in his hand, but he heard Clement cry out.

‘What a pity it is to throw it away! Let me eat it!’

Clement was hugged by Bai An, but his eyes stared fixedly at the bloody heart, emitting a green light.

Bai Di threw the heart to Clement.

Clement opened his mouth and swallowed it.

He didn’t even chew.

Bai An and Bai Hao were stunned.

They never expected this chubby and cute little brother to eat a human heart without blinking!

They had finally seen what it meant to not judge a book by its cover.

Bai Di wiped his fingers clean and asked Huanhuan, “What should we do with Wen Qian’s corpse?”

Huanhuan knew that he had a personal grudge against Wen Qian and did not mind opening a back door for him.

“Do as you see fit.”

Bai Di looked at the divine servants hiding nearby and said coldly, “Come here.”

The divine servants had just seen him execute the high priest with their own eyes. How could they dare disobey him now? They all scrambled out and knelt in front of Bai Di, afraid that they would be executed if they were any slower.

“Bring Wen Qian’s body to the divine mountain.”

The divine servants were stunned.

Someone couldn’t help but say, “The divine mountain is a sacred place in Sun City. No one can go up the mountain without the high priest’s permission.”

“Your high priest is dead now. Anyone who wants his permission can look for him in another world. I don’t mind sending you off.”

Upon hearing this, the divine servants immediately shut up, not daring to say another word.

They picked up Wen Qian’s body and walked toward the divine mountain.

Bai Di looked at Huanhuan. “Wait for me at the palace gate. I’ll look for you when I’m done.”

“Mhm.”

Under Bai An and Bai Hao’s escort, Huanhuan led Clement to the palace gate while Bai Di led the divine servants to the divine mountain.

After the deaths of beast kings and queens, their bodies would be sent to the divine mountain. This was the custom of Sun City.

The remains of Bai Di’s parents were placed on the divine mountain.

When his parents died, there was no burial. After their bodies were thrown up the mountain, no one cared anymore.

Bai Di had always remembered the exact location of his parents’ remains. He found his parents’ bones accurately and got someone to throw Wen Qian’s remains in front of them.

Bai Di knelt on one knee in the face of his parents’ remains. “Father, Mother, I’ve avenged you.”

In the end, Wen Qian’s remains were tied up and hung on a tree, allowing vultures or crows to eat him.

After Bai Di went down the mountain, he bumped into Bai Luo on the way to the palace gate.

When Bai Luo heard that Wen Qian had been killed, he was shocked.

He was not sad and sorry for Wen Qian. It was purely because things had happened too suddenly and he was a little careless.

Who would have thought that High Priest Wen Qian, who was still alive and kicking this morning, would die in the blink of an eye?!

Bai Luo saw Bai Di and rushed forward. “Wen Qian is dead?”

Bai Di nodded. “Yes.”

“You killed him?”

“Mhm.”

Bai Luo placed one hand behind his back and walked back and forth with an anxious expression. “I know you don’t like Wen Qian, but didn’t you tell me before that now isn’t the time to attack? You told me to wait patiently for the best opportunity to capture them all. But why were you… Why were you so impulsive?!”

Bai Di was unexpectedly calm. “Wen Qian wanted to kill Huanhuan, so I had to strike first.”

“Then you should’ve secretly gotten rid of him somewhere private. How could you kill him in front of so many people? It’ll be difficult for me to cover for you if you do this.”

“There’s no need to hide it. It doesn’t matter if people find out.”

Bai Luo stopped. “How can it not matter? You’ll be burned at the stake for killing the high priest. At that time, not only you but even your mate and sons will suffer!”
