When Beauty Meets Beasts

760 Using Your Position For Personal Gain

Huanhuan did not deliberately lower her voice when she spoke to Bai Luo. Shuang Jing and Bai Di heard their conversation.

The prophet sat in his wheelchair, Shuang Jing pushing him forward.

As Shuang Jing walked, he asked, “Aren’t you preparing to send someone from Rock City to take over the Sun God Temple? Why did you agree to Bai Luo’s request of having one of his people take over the position of the high priest?”

Huanhuan was sitting on Bai Di’s back. When she heard his question, she asked back, “Did I promise him? I just said I’d think about it.”

Shuang Jing immediately laughed. “You’re evil. He’s your brother-in-law. Aren’t you afraid of upsetting Bai Di by teasing him like this?”

Huanhuan said, “That’s two different things. Bai Di knows it better than I do. He won’t blame me.”

Bai Di heard them talking about him and said, “It’s indeed not appropriate for the royal family to interfere in the temple’s matters. Huanhuan is right.”

Shuang Jing tsked. “That’s your biological brother. Don’t you want to help him get some benefits?”

Bai Di replied calmly, “It’s fine to give him some benefits, but he might not be able to afford some. In that case, he might as well not get them.”

“Does that mean you’re doing this for your brother’s own good?”

“I’m his brother. I won’t harm him.”

“But he might not appreciate it.”

Bai Di said, “I’m not doing this to make him appreciate it. I just want him to be fine.”

After asking a few questions, it seemed that Bai Di would answer every question, but if one thought about it carefully, one would realize that the things he said were very specious and tactful. One wouldn’t be able to catch the slightest flaw in his words.

He was harder to deal with than Shuang Jing had imagined. Such a person lived strictly and was thorough.

His thoughts were even more meticulous.

Shuang Jing smiled, revealing his white canine teeth. “I suddenly realize you look like someone.”

Bai Di looked sideways at him. “Hmm?”

“Leader of the 12 divine guards, Leng Xiao.”

Bai Di said, “I’ve heard his name. I’ve seen him before.”

“Oh?”

Bai Di looked into the distance as if he was recalling something. “I was still underaged that year. Leng Xiao happened to pass by Sun City because he was doing something. He happened to be at Big Brother’s coming-of-age ceremony, so he taught him a few moves. I watched from the side and thought he was amazing.”

Shuang Jing stroked his chin. “From the looks of it, you admire him?”

“The strong are always respected.”

Shuang Jing strongly agreed with this. “Leng Xiao is indeed the strongest among the 12 divine guards. He’s also the most powerful soul beast I’ve seen in so many years. So far, I’ve never seen a beast more powerful than him.”

It was an exaggeration, but he said it very matter-of-factly. He wasn’t bragging at all.

When Huanhuan heard this, she couldn’t help but ask, “Compared to Xue Ling, who’s stronger?”

Shuang Jing replied without hesitation, “Leng Xiao must be better!”

But Bai Di said, “Not necessarily.”

“Don’t deny it. Xue Ling’s skills are just for show. If he really fights Leng Xiao head-on, Xue Ling will definitely lose.”

Although Huanhuan was not a competitive person, she was still a little unhappy to hear Shuang Jing say that about Xue Ling.

“If Xue Ling’s skills are just for show, then what about you? You’re not even as good as him!”

“I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you’ll know when Xue Ling competes with Leng Xiao in the future.”

Huanhuan was very angry, but she did not lose her mind. “Whether they compete or not, Xue Ling is very powerful in my heart. If you say anything bad about Xue Ling again, I’ll deduct your bonus!”

“You can’t win against me, so you’re using your status to suppress me. You’re really… Hey, wait a minute. Why are you deducting my bonus? When did I get a bonus?”

Huanhuan raised her small face, her eyes lively. “In order to motivate you to work, I’ve decided to start giving out monthly bonuses from now on. The amount is up to me. As long as you work hard, you can get it.”

At this point, she glanced at Shuang Jing. “In view of your evil deeds just now, your bonus for this month is gone!”

Shuang Jing was furious. “You can’t do that! You’re using your position for personal gain!”

Huanhuan stuck out her tongue and made a face at him. “Yes, I’m using my position for personal gain. If you have the ability, file a complaint then!”

Shuang Jing: “…”

He had never seen such a shameless successor to the prophet!

According to Little Brat, unicorns lived in a mysterious forest in the east. The journey was very far.

When they encountered flat roads, Shuang Jing could still push the prophet forward in a wheelchair. However, if they encountered rough roads that were not easy to walk on, he could only transform into his beast form and carry the prophet forward.

Shuang Jing’s beast form was a leopard.

With golden skin and black patterns, he was beautiful. He was a size smaller than the white tiger, but he was extremely fast and explosive. He ran like lightning, and only blurry afterimages could be seen.

Leopards and tigers were both cats, but they had no intention of getting close to each other. Usually, when they slept, they kept a safe distance.

As for eating…

Shuang Jing couldn’t resist the fragrance of Bai Di’s food and offered to join in.

“I’ll provide the ingredients. You’ll be in charge of cooking.”

Bai Di thought for a moment. “Sure.”

In any case, making more food was convenient for him. At the same time, he could take the opportunity to save himself from the trouble of hunting.

Anyone would want to be lazy, and Bai Di was no exception.

The next day, they accidentally encountered Shuang Yin, Shuang Mu, Shuang Lin, and Shuang Hua on the way.

The four of them had more than 40 beast soldiers behind them. They were going to Sun City to look for Bai Di, but they met Bai Di and Huanhuan halfway before they reached Sun City.

Both sides were surprised.

Shuang Yin said, “Mom, aren’t you at home? Why are you here?”

When the four of them left Rock City, Huanhuan was still at home. They knew nothing about what had happened after they left.

Bai Di glanced at the sky. “The sun is setting. Let’s stop here and rest for the night.”

This suggestion was agreed upon by everyone.

Bai Di began to cook while Bai An helped. Bai Hao and Shuang Jing went hunting.

The beast soldiers were divided into two groups. One group set up camp, while the other went to hunt and cook.

Shuang Yin and her three brothers spread hay and animal hides on the ground. Huanhuan Clement on the mattress and let him play by himself.

“This is my and Sang Ye’s child. He’s also your brother. His name is Clement.”

Shuang Mu, Shuang Lin, and Shuang Hua were very interested in this brother of theirs and reached out to pinch his face.

When Clement saw them take the initiative to bring their fingers to him, his eyes immediately lit up as he opened his mouth to bite them.

Fortunately, Huanhuan reacted in time and picked him up. This prevented the tragedy of her youngest son biting off his brothers’ fingers.

She lowered Clement to her lap and raised her hand to slap his butt.

The slap was merciless and made a crisp sound.

“Remember what I told you before? No biting! And no biting your family!”

Clement howled in anger.

He had never been beaten up since he was born. This was the first time.

If the person who did it wasn’t his mother, he would have pounced on them and bitten them!
