When Beauty Meets Beasts

591 You’re Too Hasty

Murphy said, “I came here to look for you because I wanted to give you this.”

He took out a leaf-shaped metal badge and placed it in front of Huanhuan.

Huanhuan picked up the badge and looked at it. She realized that it was embedded with several green gems. She asked, “What is this?”

“This is the Green Leaf Medal. You helped us chase away the enemy and helped me awaken the Tree of Life. Our entire tribe is very grateful to you. In the future, as long as you have this Green Leaf Medal on you, you can tell us if you encounter any difficulties and we’ll definitely do our best to help.”

Huanhuan did not refuse. “Thank you.”

She put away the Green Leaf Medal, then took out a small box and placed it in front of Murphy.

“Archie asked me to bring this token to the Elven Queen. Unfortunately, she’s no longer around. Now that you’re the Elf King, this token can only be given to you.”

Murphy knew that the box contained Swan Light. He picked it up and smiled. “I’m honored that the dwarfs are willing to befriend us. If you see Archie again in the future, please help me tell him that the elves are willing to be friends with him.”

Huanhuan nodded. “I’ll tell him.”

She had said everything she needed to say. Murphy hesitated for a moment, but he couldn’t help but ask the question that mattered to him in the end.

“When are you going to leave?”

“We were going to leave in these two days, but I’m pregnant now. It’s not convenient for me to travel. I might have to delay for another two days before I can leave.”

Seeing that she was going to stay here for another two days, Murphy was a little happy. “Let me know if you need anything. I’ll get someone to prepare it.”

“If you’re free, can you send someone to ask Cyril if those papers are ready?”

“Yes, I’ll send someone to ask later.”

“Thank you.”

Murphy finished his tea and got up to leave.

Huanhuan stood up and sent him to the door.

Before Murphy, he specially reminded her.

“The situation with the elves hasn’t been peaceful recently. You have to be careful and try not to go out.”

Huanhuan nodded. “I understand. Thank you for your reminder.”

After Murphy left, Bai Di collected the empty cups on the table and washed them. Xue Ling walked in and said casually, “I saw Murphy walking out of here just now. Was he here to look for Huanhuan?”

Huanhuan replied, “Yes, he gave this to me.”

She took out the Green Leaf Medal and showed it to Xue Ling.

Xue Ling took the medal and looked at it. He chuckled. “It’s a good thing. Keep it well. It might be useful in the future.”

“Oh.”

Xue Ling leaned over and knelt on one knee in front of her. He placed his palm on her stomach and asked gently, “Was the baby naughty today?”

Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It’s only been a day. How can there be a reaction? You’re too anxious.”

“The baby is due the day after tomorrow. Of course, I’m anxious.”

Huanhuan asked curiously, “Does it hurt for females of your feather tribe to give birth?”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

“Really?” Huanhuan was skeptical. How could giving birth not hurt? Previously, giving birth to her children had hurt her so much that she still felt a lingering fear.

Xue Ling was very confident. “It doesn’t hurt at all, and it’s especially fast. You’ll see.”

Huanhuan was worried. “This child came too quickly. We have to bring it with us on the journey back after this. It’ll still be too young. I don’t know if it can withstand such a hard journey.”

The chick would be young and fragile, especially in the months after it was born. The death rate was very high.

Huanhuan was really lucky to have the six children from before survive and grow up healthy.

Xue Ling stood up and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry. After the child is born, leave it to me to take care of it. I guarantee that it’ll grow up healthy.”

Shuang Yun and the black dragon brought back a wild deer.

“Huanhuan is pregnant. She has to eat more meat to have the strength to give birth.”

Huanhuan looked at the dead wild deer in front of her and was very anxious. “Did you hunt deer on the mountain?”

Shuang Yun smiled as he spoke. “That’s right. This deer was really stupid. We didn’t even attack it. We just gave it a scare. It was so afraid that it started running around. In the end, it hit a rock and died.”m

“Were you seen by other elves when you returned with your prey?”

“I don’t think so,” Shuang Yun said with uncertainty. They walked quickly when they returned, not paying attention to whether there was anyone else around.

Huanhuan quickly said, “Put this deer away quickly. Don’t let anyone see it.”

“Why?”

“Hunting is not allowed on Elven God Mountain. If others see you bringing back a wild deer, they’ll definitely come looking for trouble.”

Shuang Yun clicked his tongue. “Are these elves stupid? Not only do they not eat meat, but they also don’t let others eat it.”

“Cut the crap and put it away. It won’t be too late to eat it after we leave Elven God Mountain.”

“This deer is for you to nourish your body,” Shuang Yun muttered but reluctantly put the wild deer into the space.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they put away their prey, there was a knock on the door.

Knock, knock.

Bai Di walked over and pulled open the door to see a dozen elven guards standing outside.

“Who are you looking for?”

Huanhuan saw the scene outside and was shocked. Could it be that Shuang Yun had been seen hunting, so the guards came to arrest him?!

She subconsciously turned to look at Shuang Yun and the black dragon.

These two were not afraid at all. They were very calm.

The captain of the guards outside the door took a step forward and asked, “Are you Bai Di?”

Bai Di affirmed. “Yes.”

“We came to ask you something.”

Bai Di turned to the side. “You can come in and talk.”

The leader of the guards waved his hand. “There’s no need. We’ll leave after asking a few questions.”

“Name it.”

“Well, Doris is missing. I heard she had gotten closer to you recently, so we wanted to ask if you’ve seen her recently?”

Bai Di was stunned. “Doris?”

Huanhuan leaned over. “Have you forgotten again? It’s the elf girl who came to say thank you the last time.”

“Oh.” Bai Di remembered. “She did come to see me this morning again. I asked her why, but she said it was nothing. I was busy making breakfast for Huanhuan and didn’t have time to talk to her for long. I just said a few words and sent her away.”

The guard captain asked again, “What time is this morning?”

“When the sun first rose.” ????????????re???????? ????????????

“Can anyone testify for you?”

Bai Di chuckled. His face was still gentle, but there was pressure in his eyes. “Are you suspecting that I kidnapped Doris?”

His aura was so strong that the captain of the guards felt suffocated and had to slow down when saying his next words, “We’re just asking as a matter of routine. We have no intention of doubting you.”
