Huanhuan slowly put down the bone knife that was covered in blood. She applied fragrant and crispy fruits to the wound, then wrapped the cloth around her neck.
She asked, “How long will my pain be blocked?”
The system said, “Don’t worry, it’ll last until you recover.”
“That’s good.” Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief.
She wiped the bone knife clean and stuffed it into the space along with the blood-stained hide.
Xue Hui walked in with the food and frowned as soon as she entered. “Why does this house sll like blood?”
Huanhuan said slowly, “I accidentally fell and hurt my neck. I bled a little.”
When she saw the thick cotton around her neck, her frown deepened. “How could you be so careless? Are you seriously injured? Show .”
Huanhuan quickly waved her hand. “It’s okay. The bleeding has stopped, and it doesn’t hurt much. It’s not as serious as you think.”
Seeing that she was relaxed and indeed not in pain, Xue Hui was slightly relieved. “You’re always so worriso. Sit down and eat.”
Xue Hui brought mostly vegetables and fruits. They were all raw. There was also so fresh fish at.
Huanhuan finished all the fruits and picked so vegetables to eat. The fish was raw. She tasted it with the ntality of eating sashimi and realized that it tasted a little fishy. After that, she didn’t touch the plate of raw fish again.
The mbers of the Divine Wood clan were vegetarians, so it was normal for them to not like at. Therefore, when Xue Hui saw that Huanhuan did not like at, she did not find it strange at all.
Xue Hui looked at Huanhuan’s face and suddenly said, “You look even prettier than last ti.”
Huanhuan touched her cheek and smiled shyly. “Really?”
“When you reach Divine Wood City, there’ll definitely be many outstanding male beasts pursuing you. Aren’t you going to consider finding a few more male beasts to be your mates?”
Huanhuan quickly said, “Forget it. The four at ho are already too much for . If there are a few more, I’ll be tortured to death. Please spare .”
Xue Hui chuckled. “You’re very beautiful. It’s only right for many male beasts to pursue you. If you’re unwilling, just ignore them. You don’t have to look so afraid.”
Huanhuan was still not used to being praised for her looks. She changed the topic. “Why are you in the City of 10,000 Beasts?”
“I’m here on behalf of the Divine Wood Temple to attend this year’s sacrificial ceremony. I’m also here to discuss business with the Golden Leaf Chamber of Comrce.”
“I see.” Huanhuan paused and asked curiously, “I heard you ntion several sacrificial ceremonies. What are sacrificial ceremonies?”
“At this ti of year, the City of 10,000 Beasts holds a sacrificial ceremony. The prophet is in charge of presiding over it. The other three temples have to send envoys to the City of 10,000 Beasts to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. So witch doctors of large tribes will also receive invitations to the sacrificial ceremony.”
It was a supre honor for any witch doctor to receive an invitation to the sacrificial ceremony.
Huanhuan had never heard of sacrificial ceremonies when she was in the Rock Wolf Tribe. Perhaps it was because the Rock Wolf Tribe was too remote and their strength was only above average among many tribes. They had yet to reach the peak and were not qualified to be invited to the ceremony.
However, this was not important to Huanhuan. She even wished that the City of 10,000 Beasts could ignore the Rock Wolf Tribe. It would be best if they could never focus on the Rock Wolf Tribe.
Only then could the Rock Wolf Tribe live peacefully.
Xue Hui looked at her and suddenly said, “The day after tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony. Are you coming with ?”
Huanhuan pointed to her nose. “Can I go?”
“Every envoy can bring an attendant. If you don’t mind, you can pretend to be my attendant.”
Hearing her words, Huanhuan’s mind imdiately beca active.
The sacrificial ceremony sounded very grand!
It was rare for her to co here, and she was just in ti for the sacrificial ceremony. It would be a pity not to take a look.
Huanhuan smiled brightly. “Yes, I’ll go with you.”
Xue Hui said, “The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. There’ll be many beasts in the city. If you want to join in the fun, you can tell . I’ll take you out for a walk.”
How would Huanhuan dare to go out? Xing Chen was in the city. What if she bumped into him?!
She shook her head quickly. “I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay here.”
“That’s good. There are too many people in the city. It’s easy to cause trouble. Your face is especially attractive. It’s safer to stay here.”
Xue Hui realized that the dress on Huanhuan was too big, so she said, “I only have this set of clothes with . I’ll get soone to make you a new dress later.”
Huanhuan waved her hand. “No need. It’s fine for
to make do. I’ll wash my own dress later and dry it before continuing to wear it.”
Xue Hui didn’t force her. “If you want to dry your clothes, do it in the yard. I’ll tell the guys here not to touch your things.”
Huanhuan was very grateful. “Thank you!”
Looking at her obedient and cute appearance, she couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek. It felt better than she imagined.
Huanhuan stood rooted to the ground, not understanding why her face was being pinched for no reason.
Xue Hui smiled. “Don’t look at
with such a cute expression. I’ll be tempted to hug you.”
Huanhuan blushed at her teasing.
Xue Hui called over an attendant to bring the bath water and unfinished food out.
Huanhuan, who was full, yawned.
Seeing that she was tired, Xue Hui found a blanket and spread it on the carpet. “Rest first. I’m going out to do sothing. I might not be back for dinner tonight. I’ll get soone to bring dinner for you.”
Huanhuan was about to say that she had food and didn’t need anyone to deliver it, but on second thought, she didn’t have anything like a bag on her. Her hands were empty. It was obvious that she didn’t have any luggage.
What would she say if she said she had brought food and Xue Hui asked her where it was?
The matter of her interspatial ring had to be kept a secret. In the end, Huanhuan agreed obediently. “Okay.”
Xue Hui tucked her in, got up, and walked out of the lounge.
…
At this mont, Xing Chen was still standing at the entrance to the city, quietly waiting for Huanhuan to co and find him.
But he waited from dawn until dark.
It was dark until dawn the next day.
The surrounding patrols had changed several tis, but Huanhuan still did not appear.
There was a lot of cold dew on his black robe. Xing Chen looked up slightly, revealing his pale handso face hidden under the hood.
He opened his palm, and a dark purple butterfly flew out.
The butterfly flew around before returning to his fingertips.
The butterfly told him that the mark had been destroyed. It couldn’t find where she was.
Xing Chen closed his fingers, crushing the butterfly.
Liar!
All the warmth she had given these days had turned into bubbles. When he looked back now, he saw nothing but illusions.
It was all fake.
Xing Chen closed his eyes, and his pale face instantly turned as cold as ice.
‘Run, then. Let’s see how far you can get.’
He released his fingers, and the broken pieces of the butterfly fluttered down.
The next ti he saw her…
He would just crush her…
