When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 168: Infectious Disease

Mayne used crystals to purchase a large batch of vegetables and fruits. He returned to Sun City with 10 workers and left behind the other 10 to guard the shop here.

During this period of time, Huanhuan would go to the lake to see Sang Ye whenever she was free.

Sometimes, Sang Ye would pop his head out to talk to her, but sometimes, he would not even show his head. The lake was very deep.

At this moment, Huanhuan was standing on the shore but couldn’t see what was going on at the bottom of the lake.

10 days later, Sang Ye finally began to shed his skin.

The huge snake twisted in the lake, stirring the water.

Huanhuan could only stand far away and crane her neck to look. Seeing the python in pain, she couldn’t help but worry. “Does shedding hurt?”

Bai Di, who had never shed his skin, didn’t know the answer. “It’ll be fine,” he comforted her.

The process of shedding was hard and long. Sang Ye took four days before he could remove all the snakeskin on his body.

He slithered out of the lake, wrapped his tail around the huge snakeskin, and brought it to shore.

The python, which had just shed his skin, became even more terrifying. There were many silver-gray dark patterns on his originally dark skin. They were like water ripples that emitted a cold aura.

Huanhuan ran over happily and hugged the huge snake. “You’re finally out. I was so worried about you!”

The python lowered his head and nuzzled her cheek. “I’m fine now.”

......

Bai Di looked him up and down. “Congratulations on the promotion.”

After shedding his skin, Sang Ye had risen from three stars to four stars. His strength had improved as well.

Sang Ye handed the snakeskin to Huanhuan to put it away. Then, he let Huanhuan sit on his back. Bai Di transformed into a white tiger and followed them. The three of them returned to the rock mountain.

Shuang Yun saw that Sang Ye had risen to four stars, while he was still at two stars. He was now the weakest among the three male beasts.

This made Shuang Yun a little depressed.

He wanted to find a crystal to absorb the energy inside, but Bai Di told him, “You’re of the ice attribute. No crystals of the ice attribute have been found so far.”

In other words, Shuang Yun could not find any crystals that could absorb energy.

Shuang Yun was even more depressed.

Bai Di patted his shoulder. “Silvery Frost White Wolf is a special species. As long as you can awaken your beast soul, you can develop your own ice attribute. Unlike ordinary beasts where even if they awaken their soul beast, they can’t develop any attributes. They have to rely on their opportunities and talent to awaken their attributes at random. In this aspect, you’re much luckier than ordinary beasts.”

“But without crystals, I don’t know how to increase my strength.” Shuang Yun scratched his short silver-white hair, looking very troubled.

The last time he leveled up was during his battle with the Black River Wolf Tribe.

Did he have to fight people all over the world to level up?

Bai Di said, “Perhaps your elders should know a way.”

“My father is my only relative.” To Shuang Yun, his mother could not be considered family at all.

Bai Di thought for a moment. “The origins of the Silvery Frost White Wolf are very mysterious, and there are very few of them. I once heard that there’s a totem of the Silvery Frost White Wolf in the snow region. Perhaps you can find traces of the Silvery Frost White Wolf there.”

The snow region was also known as the extreme north. That place was covered in ice and snow all year round. Not a single blade of grass grew there, and it was sparsely populated.

It was a long walk from the rock mountain to the snow region.

If Shuang Yun was going, he would not return within a year or so.

.

He hesitated.

It was not because he was afraid that the journey would be long but because he could not bear to leave Huanhuan and the children.

Bai Di said, “Don’t be in a hurry to make a decision. This is just a guess anyway. After we gather some more information and confirm that there are indeed Silvery Frost White Wolves in the snow region, we’ll accompany you there.”

Shuang Yun was touched. “You sure are a good brother! Go and rest. Let me cook tonight!”

Bai Di quickly pulled him back. “Brother, let’s talk this out. Don’t cook!”

“…”

In the end, Bai Di spent a lot of effort trying to stop Shuang Yun, who was determined to cook.

Bai Di made dinner as usual. The thick soup made from bones was accompanied by crispy meat pies and vegetables. It was delicious!

Seeing that everyone was eating with relish, Shuang Yun couldn’t help but ask, “Is my cooking really inferior to Bai Di’s?”

Huanhuan looked at him lovingly. “Why are you comparing an ant to an elephant?”

“…”

Huanhuan stroked his wolf head. “Eat the food obediently. Don’t cook again.”

Shuang Yun turned to Bai Di. “Is my food really that bad?”

Bai Di was silent for a moment, but he decided not to shock Shuang Yun too much. He said gently, “If you can remove the chicken feathers and wash the internal organs when you cook meat in the future, the food might be edible.”

Huanhuan nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes!”

She felt sick at the thought of having eaten a mouthful of hairy chicken.

Sang Ye said faintly, “In the month after you left, Shuang Yun practiced cooking at home every day. The children and I were forced to eat his food for an entire month.”

The wolf cubs looked up from their rice bowls. “Roar!”

Daddy’s cooking was simply a wolf’s nightmare!

Shuang Yun was shocked.

He did not expect that after practicing his culinary skills for more than a month, he would end up facing everyone’s unanimous resistance. In the end, he could only give up resentfully.

Huanhuan made a medicinal powder for infertility according to the prescription and handed it to Xue Ling.

“Take this back and dissolve the powder in water. Let the females of the feather tribe drink a bowl of it every day. We’ll see how it works in three months. If it doesn’t work, I’ll think of another way.”

Xue Ling leaned over and sniffed. The powder smelled strange. He frowned. “What did you add? Why does it smell so strange?”

“It’s just some herbs and insects that have been ground into powder after drying.”

The feather tribe was very accepting of insects. Xue Ling did not think that there was anything wrong with it. He took the powder and flew to look for Shen Yan.

The new batch of vegetables and fruits was ripe again. The beasts took turns harvesting the produce.

It was busy in the vegetable fields and orchards.

At this moment, several patients suddenly appeared in the temporary residence at the foot of the mountain.

The first to discover this was Jiu Yuan. As usual, when he brought people to patrol, he found a few beasts lurking in the temporary residence. He caught them and asked them about it. Only then did he know that their relatives were sick.

However, their diseases could be contagious!

Jiu Yuan immediately told Shuang Yun about this. Huanhuan happened to be beside him. She followed Shuang Yun down the mountain.

There were many beasts living in the temporary residence. The living environment was far inferior to the fortress. The houses were built from stone and wood. The organization was messy, and some of the houses would leak.

Fortunately, there were laws, and at least there was order. No one would die here.
