When Beauty Meets Beasts

602 Legendary Item

Huanhuan was right. Elman and Archie had met privately before coming to her. The two of them had reached an agreement that if Huanhuan hesitated, they would propose the idea of splitting the mine 50/50.

With their understanding of Huanhuan, she should agree.

On the other hand, if they argued over the gold mine and were unwilling to give in to each other, Huanhuan might find another way to get rid of the gold mine.

Instead of both of them losing their money, they might as well cooperate.

It had to be said that they had guessed Huanhuan’s reaction well.

Huanhuan finally agreed to sell the gold mine to the dwarves and gnomes. Both sides would get half.

In order to prevent them from going back on their word, Huanhuan specially took out a contract scroll, and the three parties signed a transaction contract.

After the transaction was completed, all three parties were satisfied.

Archie and Elman went back in high spirits.

Not long after they left, the little mouse returned. This time, Mark was furious.

Mark had a boot on his left foot, while his right foot was bare on the ground. He was carrying a boot in his hand. He rushed through the door and roared, “Who let this mouse steal my boot?!”

Huanhuan looked up at the roof and pretended not to know anything.

Unfortunately, the little mouse did not cooperate with its master. It rushed in front of Huanhuan and squeaked as if it was taking credit.

Mark immediately glared at Huanhuan. “It’s you!”

Huanhuan quickly jumped back and hid behind Bai Di. She stuck out half her head and explained embarrassedly, “We were trying to test the ability of the tracking mouse. I didn’t expect it to steal your boot. I’ve already asked it to return the boot to you.”

Mark waved the muddy boot in his hand. “But it threw my boot into the mud pool!”

Just now, the tracking mouse wanted to send the boot back, but it was accidentally discovered by Mark. It fled in fear and accidentally threw the boot into a mud pool.

Furious, Mark picked up his boot and ran after the mouse.

Huanhuan kicked the little mouse neither lightly nor forcefully. “You actually dirtied Uncle Mark’s shoes. What a naughty little thing.”

The little mouse turned over and lay on its four feet. Its four small claws kept scratching in the air.

She said to Mark, “Look, I’ve taught it a lesson. It won’t do it again.”

Mark couldn’t really do anything to Huanhuan and the tracking rat. After complaining a little, he could only pick up his muddy boot and turn to leave.

When he was gone, Huanhuan heaved a long sigh of relief. “Archie even said that this tracking mouse was very powerful and wouldn’t be discovered. In the end, Mark still found out about it, didn’t he? Someone actually came looking for me. I was scared to death!”

Bai Di bent down to pick up the little mouse and took off its clockwork.

“I’ll keep it for now. It might be useful in the future.”

He put the little mouse in the box, then put the entire box in the space.

Huanhuan went to the backyard and used a hoe to loosen the soil. Then, she scattered the seeds of the butterfly flowers and watered them.

Before long, the seeds broke out of the ground and sprouted.

While waiting for the butterfly flowers to grow, Huanhuan asked Little Brat about the Wheel of Machinery.

Little Brat said, “Legend has it that the Wheel of Machinery is a treasure left behind by God. As long as you activate it, you can reverse time and travel through time. This thing disappeared a long time ago. I thought it had been destroyed, but I didn’t expect it to fall into the hands of the dwarfs.”

Huanhuan studied the small gear in her hand and was skeptical. “It looks very ordinary. I don’t see anything special about it. Is the legend really reliable?”

“As long as it’s a legend, there must be elements of exaggeration. But the Wheel of Machinery is indeed a good item. You’re lucky to have it.”

Huanhuan tried to fiddle with the gear, but she realized that it was stuck very tightly and could not be moved at all.

She muttered, “Don’t tell me this thing has rusted over time?”

“It’s impossible for such a divine item to rust.”

“Then why isn’t it moving…” Huanhuan still refused to give up. She tried her best to turn it and accidentally cut her finger.

A bright red bead of blood stained the gear.

Huanhuan quickly put her finger in her mouth and licked the wound. The wound immediately healed.

When she looked at the gear again, she realized that it was clean.

She couldn’t help but exclaim.

“That’s strange. I clearly saw blood on the gear just now. Why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?”

Little Brat asked, “Don’t tell me you were seeing things just now?”

Faced with his doubts, Huanhuan was very dissatisfied. “I’m a beautiful girl. I’m still young. How could I be old and blurry-eyed?!”

“Let me give you a friendly reminder. Only girls at the age of 18 and younger are qualified to be called girls.”

“My psychological age will always be 18!”

Little Brat thought for a moment. He couldn’t argue with a woman. “As long as you’re happy.”

The human and system joked around, completely forgetting about the gear that was supposed to be stained with blood.

Huanhuan chatted as she turned the gear.

She thought that she would not be able to turn it like before.

Unexpectedly, with a gentle turn this time, the gear moved!

Huanhuan shouted, “Look! It’s moving!”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the gear emitted a blinding golden light. She involuntarily closed her eyes to avoid the golden light.

When the light dissipated, Huanhuan opened her eyes again and realized that she was standing in a circular hall.

Above her was a circular dome with many dense colorful diagrams. She focused and saw that they were all various chemical and mathematical formulas.

Around her, there were countless doors. Every door looked exactly the same. It was impossible to tell the difference.

Huanhuan stood rooted to the ground, helpless. “Little Brat, are you still there?”

“Daddy’s always here.”

The voice didn’t come from her mind. It came from behind her.

Huanhuan suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw Little Brat standing not far away. His pale golden hair reached his waist, and his white shark silk robe made him look even colder and slender. He looked like an otherworldly immortal.

His eyes were covered by a shark silk veil, and his thin lips were curled up slightly.

The originally perfect man immediately became lively because of this faint smile.

It had been a long time since she had seen Little Brat like this. Huanhuan was first stunned, then she ran over happily and jumped into his arms. “Little Brat!”

Little Brat caught her and said dotingly, “Why are you still acting like a child? Stand properly.”

Despite his words, he had no intention of letting go of her. He continued to hug her steadily.

With Little Brat by her side, the uneasiness and nervousness in Huanhuan’s heart immediately disappeared.

She looked around curiously. “What is this place? Why am I here?”

“If I’m not wrong, this should be a knowledge space specially opened by God. That Wheel of Machinery should be the key to opening this space. You accidentally dripped your blood on it just now and happened to open the space. Your consciousness was forcefully sucked into the space.”

“Then my body…”

“Don’t worry. With Bai Di and the others around, you’ll be well taken care of.”
