When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 149: Writing A Letter

Xue Ling wanted the interspatial ring.

Huanhuan’s attitude was firm. “I can’t give you a ring. Give up.”

“If you’re unwilling to give me the ring, I won’t be able to help you.”

“Forget it. We’d better think of something ourselves.”

Huanhuan took Bai Di’s hand and turned to leave. She had no intention of staying.

Xue Ling’s voice came from behind. “Are you really not going to consider it? It’s just a ring. I don’t mind being bound for life. Why should you mind?!”

Huanhuan stopped and turned to look at him. “I don’t like you. Why would I tie you to me? Even if I make you into roasted chicken, your meat will probably be too old and tough to chew.”

Xue Ling raised his eyebrows. “How dare you think I’m old?!”

Huanhuan complained weakly, “Shouldn’t you be more concerned about being made into roasted chicken?”

Although he was angry, Xue Ling couldn’t help but tease her.

“If you roast me yourself, I’d be happy to strip naked and deliver myself to your door.”

Huanhuan: “…”

This bird man was hopeless!

......

She said to Bai Di, “Let’s go. Ignore this shameless guy!”

“Okay.”

Bai Di picked her up and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Xue Ling took out a palm-sized red crystal and looked at his reflection in the crystal.

His skin was still supple, and his blonde hair was bright.

He wasn’t old at all!

When she returned to the palace, Huanhuan hugged a pillow and punched it hard. She complained angrily, “Bastard birdman! I asked him for a favor and he dared make such an outrageous request. He doesn’t know how friendships work at all!”

Bai Di said, “It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t help. We’ll try to keep a low profile when we’re with the bamboo bear. As long as we don’t alarm the people from the temple, we should be fine.”

Huanhuan nodded, but she was still angry when she thought about it.

“Let’s never talk to that bastard bird again! Let him play in the mud alone!”

Bai Di felt that she looked like a child when she was angry. He couldn’t help but chuckle, his eyes filled with affection. “Okay, we’ll ignore him from now on.”

Huanhuan stretched out her arms and whined angrily, “I want a hug.”

Bai Di picked her up and kissed her cheek. “Don’t be angry anymore.”

She nuzzled his chin. “You’re the best.”

“It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”

“Yes, we’ll sleep together.”

…

Huanhuan took out fruits and bamboo shoots from her interspatial ring but accidentally took out a stone slab as well.

There were words on the slab.

The handwriting was awkward and tender. At a glance, she could tell that it was Shuang Yun’s handwriting.

There were three simple lines written on it—

[Huanhuan, are you safely in Sun City? Please send us a message when you arrive. We miss you.]

Huanhuan was very surprised. “Why is there a letter written by Shuang Yun in the space?”

Bai Di took the slab and looked at it. “The four of us are wearing rings,” he analyzed logically. “The space in the rings can be shared. This means that we can get what Shuang Yun and Sang Ye put in the space.”

Realization dawned on her.

She did not expect an interspatial ring to replace long-distance calls in this world!

She was very surprised by this. She wiped the handwriting off the slab and wrote two new lines.

[I’ve arrived at Sun City safely. I’ll go back after I’m done, don’t worry.]

Huanhuan placed the stone slab back into the space.

There were a lot more fruits and vegetables in the space. Clearly, Shuang Yun and Sang Ye had put all the new vegetables and fruits into the space.

Huanhuan took out a portion of vegetables and fruits and packed them with Bai Di. There were exactly a hundred bags.

Bai Di called the guards over and asked them to carry these vegetables and fruits to the house of the bamboo bear family.

In order not to attract attention, Bai Di specially asked them to leave the palace when there were fewer people around. He also circled the city a few times to make sure that no one was following them before secretly putting the vegetables and fruits for sale in the chamber of commerce.

Ni Mei had heard from Bai Di and had been guarding the chamber of commerce’s shop.

As soon as she saw that the vegetables had been delivered, she immediately paid for them. Then, she got someone to carry them home and opened all the bags to check.

Each bag was filled with very fresh and delicious produce. Ni Mei was very satisfied.

Especially those tender bamboo shoots. They were so delicious that she couldn’t stop eating them!

The guards returned to the palace and handed Bai Di the crystals they had earned.

There were a total of five red crystals.

This price was many times higher than what Huanhuan’s family had sold their produce for on the rock mountain.

Of course, they had to take a lot more risks too. In addition, they had to take into account the cost of crossing the mountains. This price was actually not particularly ridiculous.

Huanhuan happily put the red crystals into her space. “I didn’t expect to be able to earn so much just by heading out. We’re so lucky!”

Unfortunately, most of the beasts living in Sun City were carnivorous and not very interested in vegetables and fruits.

Only the bamboo bear family was an exception. They ate both meat and fruits. They especially liked bamboo shoots.

Currently, the only customer who could trade with Huanhuan was the bamboo bear family.

Bai Di had an idea as he sewed. “The females in the city like to eat vegetables and fruits. We can sell some to the chamber of commerce later. I believe there’ll be females coming to buy them.”

Huanhuan was very curious about the chamber of commerce.

“Is the chamber of commerce in the city controlled by nobles?”

“No, the chamber of commerce is headquartered in the City of 10,000 Beasts. This chamber of commerce in Sun City is just a branch. Their annual income is considerable. The nobles are very envious of the chamber. Unfortunately, the backing of the chamber of commerce is very strong. The nobles don’t dare interfere.” Bai Di gestured at her with the sewn clothes. “They seem a little small. Have you gained weight?”

Huanhuan was instantly unhappy.

She put her hands on her hips angrily and declared loudly, “I’m not fat! It must be your imagination!”

No girl would tolerate others calling her fat, not even her own beloved husband!

Bai Di pinched her chubby cheeks. “Okay, you’re not fat. You’re just fluffy.”

Huanhuan: “…”

The air of romance diminished just like that!

Bai Di worked on the shirt he’d just sewn once more, planning to make it bigger so that Huanhuan could wear it more comfortably.

They had stew for dinner.

The meat was stewed until it was soft and tender. It was fragrant and melted in one’s mouth.

Huanhuan took two small bites and stopped.

Bai Di asked her why she stopped eating.

Huanhuan frowned and said aggrievedly, “I’m fat. I have to lose weight. I can’t eat too much meat.”

Bai Di said, “How are you fat? You’re very thin. You’re not allowed to lose weight. Eat more!”

Huanhuan pointed at his nose and complained, “You complained that I was fat during the day!”

Bai Di quickly explained, “I don’t dislike you. I like you the way you are. You’re so fat and cute!”

“Go away! A guy with an eight-pack will never understand the sorrows of a fatty!”
