When Beauty Meets Beasts

630 Why Was She So Bad?!

The red dragon finally fell.

He might never have dreamed that he would die at the hands of three unknown beasts instead of the dragon emperor.

The huge red dragon lay on the ground, motionless. It had completely lost its breath.

With the crisis resolved, Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief. She said to the Wisdom Tree, “Thank you.”

!!

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt all her strength drain out of her. Her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground involuntarily.

Xue Ling flew over quickly and picked her up.

He watched as Huanhuan shrank again and became a short little girl.

The aftereffects of the dragon blood appeared again.

Huanhuan had expected this. She immediately took out a small dress from her space and hid under Xue Ling’s wings to change.

You Xue had returned to her human form. She was holding a green conch in her hand. Her eyes were red and swollen. She had clearly just cried. She looked panicked, and the sound of the conch seemed to be echoing in her ears.

The gentle voice told her that she was lured away not long after she was born. Then, for some reason, she entered Nether City and became the sister of the red dragon.

All these years, she had always thought of herself as the biological sister of the red dragon.

She should have thought of it long ago. She was a green dragon. How could she have a red dragon brother?

On the secret dragon continent, the different colors of dragons not only represented their appearance but also their respective abilities and levels.

You Xue and the red dragon were two completely different races.

Furthermore, not long after the red dragon reached adulthood, he personally killed all his family.

It was impossible for him to have left a little sister behind.

You Xue carried the conch to Luke’s body and suddenly burst into tears.

She was the one who killed her own brother!

Luke risked his life to save her, but she had never even called him ‘Brother’.

Why was she so bad?!

You Xue was crying so hard that she was out of breath. She was about to faint.

But no one comforted her.

Especially Xue Ling. He was annoyed by You Xue’s cries. If Huanhuan hadn’t pulled him, he would have rushed forward and gagged You Xue.

He couldn’t be blamed for being unsympathetic. He still remembered how You Xue bit Huanhuan just now.

Huanhuan’s shoulder was pierced by her teeth, and she was bleeding profusely. His heart ached just looking at the wound.

He carefully bandaged Huanhuan’s wound and lowered his head to blow on her shoulder. “Does it still hurt?”

Huanhuan was amused by his nervous appearance.

She smiled and said, “I’m fine. It’s just a flesh wound. With my physique, I’ll be completely healed in less than a night.”

“But it must hurt.” Xue Ling helped her put on her clothes. “If you encounter danger in the future, remember to hide far away. Fighting and killing enemies is our business as male beasts. Don’t always be so anxious to rush forward. What if something happens to you and our family gets into trouble?”

“Okay, I’ll be careful next time. If you keep nagging, you’ll really become an old man.”

Xue Ling hugged her tightly. “Even if I become an old man, don’t even think about abandoning me.”

Huanhuan touched the back of his neck. “Yes, even if you’re an old man, you’ll still be the best-looking old man.”

They clung to each other for a while.

She asked where Xue Ling had gone after he got separated.

“After I flew down, I walked along the tunnel. On the way, I met You Xue. She tried to trick me into going with her, but I saw through her. She flew into a rage out of humiliation and attacked me. I exchanged a few moves with her and shook her off.”

Huanhuan quickly asked, “What then?”

“I walked deeper into the tunnel. In any case, there was only one path. I wanted to see what was at the end of the tunnel. Who knew that the path was especially long? I walked for a long time before I came out. As soon as I came out, I saw you fighting the red dragon and You Xue. You know what happened after that.”

Huanhuan thought out loud, “We were also walking along the tunnel. Why didn’t we see you?”

“Could it have been a mistake?” Xue Ling immediately denied this guess. “No, there’s only one way through the tunnel. We can’t have been mistaken.”

“Then what the hell is going on?”

Huanhuan was puzzled.

Bai Di heard their conversation and said, “Just ask You Xue.”

You Xue could be considered a host here. She must know the layout here like the back of her hand.

Huanhuan looked at You Xue and saw that she was crying. She must not be in the mood to chat with others for a while, so she did not go over and ask for trouble.

Bai Di and Shuang Yun put the mountains of gold, silver, and jewelry into their space. The red dragon was dead anyway. Even if they didn’t take these things, they would be left here to rust. What a waste that would be.

When they were done, Bai Di gestured for everyone to prepare to leave.

Huanhuan pointed at Luke’s body. “What about him?”

You Xue stayed by Luke’s side. She had stopped crying. She just stared at Luke’s body. Her face was pale, and her mental state looked to be very bad.

Bai Di glanced at the siblings. “Ignore them. You Xue knows this place. If she wants to leave, it should be easier for her than for us.”

Huanhuan thought Bai Di had a point, but she took the initiative to walk over to You Xue.

“Are you okay?”

You Xue didn’t move as if she hadn’t heard her.

Huanhuan carefully observed her expression. “If you really regret it, you can go home. Although your brother and mother are no longer around, your father is still alive. You’re the only family he has left in this world. I believe he’d want you to go home.”

Hearing the word ‘father’, You Xue’s expression finally changed a little.

She asked blankly, “My father?”

“Yes, he’s a very warm and kind uncle. If you want to go back, I can give you his address.”

But You Xue covered her face and cried again. “But I killed my brother. If Father finds out, he’ll hate me!”

“Even so, you shouldn’t run away. That’s your father, after all. You have to be brave enough to take responsibility for the mistakes you made and take care of your family in your brother’s place. That way, your brother’s sacrifice won’t be in vain.”

You Xue’s cries gradually weakened. She had clearly taken Huanhuan’s words to heart.

She wiped away her tears. “Why are you comforting me? Didn’t you want to kill me before?”

“I wanted to kill you because I wanted to find Xue Ling. Now that he’s back, whatever happens to you has something to do with me. I’m telling you this for Luke’s sake and also because I want to ask you something.”

You Xue did not ignore her this time and asked, “What do you want to know?”

“Why were we in the same tunnel as Xue Ling but we were completely separated?”

“It looks like there’s only one path in that tunnel, but there are actually many hidden paths. I can change the layout of those paths and turn them into a maze.”

Huanhuan understood. This could explain why Xue Ling entered the tunnel first but walked out last.

“One more thing. Have you seen two elves?”
