When Beauty Meets Beasts

676 Future Daughter-In-Law

Huanhuan brewed some medicine for Yun Hui.

Yun Hui silently took the bowl and finished it in one gulp.

“Rest well. Call me if you need anything.”

Huanhuan left with the empty bowl. When she turned to close the door, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yun Hui’s expression.

!!

He looked lost, just like a large canine abandoned by his master.

Huanhuan’s heart trembled.

But in the end, she steeled herself and pretended not to see anything. She gently closed the door.

Huanhuan went downstairs. She walked into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Little Brat’s voice sounded in her mind. “Tsk tsk, Little Black has someone he likes but his feelings aren’t reciprocated. Poor him!”

Huanhuan didn’t stop moving. “He’s still young. How would he know what it’s like to have feelings for someone?” ????????????????e????????. ????o????

“If he doesn’t like you, why does he care so much about you? He even stayed by your bed for so many days. If he doesn’t like you, how do you explain his behavior?”

“When I was still Yu Tian, I made him feel a sense of dependence on me. This dependence now extends to me, so he has the illusion that he likes me very much.”

Little Brat chuckled. “Your analysis is logical. If you have the ability, tell Little Black that. Let’s see how he answers you.”

Huanhuan immediately cowered. “I don’t want to say such things to someone in person. It’ll make me look narcissistic.”

Little Brat saw through her nature as a coward. “You’re all talk and no action.”

“Hehe.”

…

Xue Hui came to look for Huanhuan again.

When Shuang Yin saw Xue Hui, she specially postponed her plan to go to the military camp and stayed at home.

“Sit anywhere you want. Mom will be down soon.”

Xue Hui sat on the stool and looked around. “This place has always been the same. It hasn’t changed much.”

Coincidentally, Huanhuan walked downstairs.

As she walked over, she said, “It’s just a place we call home. We just have to live comfortably. There’s no need to make so many changes.”

Xue Hui saw that the clothes she was wearing were sewn from good shark silk. They were expensive. Coupled with her peerlessly beautiful face, the clothes made her look even more perfect and exquisite.

Such a female would be admired and kowtowed by countless male beasts even if she didn’t say anything.

When Huanhuan sat down in the chair opposite her, Xue Hui looked away and smiled. “I came to look for you today for two things.”

“Go ahead.”

“The first thing is naturally about the Divine Wood clan’s fertility. I wonder if you’ve thought of a solution?” Xue Hui’s eyes were filled with unconcealable eagerness.

“I haven’t been feeling well these days and have been recuperating at home. This matter has been put on hold.”

Hearing this, Xue Hui couldn’t help but be very disappointed. “I see…”

“You don’t have to be too anxious. There’s still a long time. We can take our time.”

“You’re right. I was in a hurry.” Xue Hui tried to suppress the anticipation in her heart and look calmer.

“If I find out anything, I’ll send someone to inform you.”

“Then I’ll look forward to your good news.”

Huanhuan said, “It might not be good news. After all, I’m not confident about this.”

“I believe you can do it!”

Faced with Xue Hui’s fervent anticipation, Huanhuan smiled helplessly. “Instead of placing all your hopes on me, why don’t you think about why you and your clansmen can’t give birth? There’s a reason for everything. If you can find that reason, it might be easier.”

Xue Hui sighed. “We’ve checked the cause of this before. Perhaps it has something to do with losing the protection of the Divine Wood, but the Divine Wood has already withered. The new Divine Wood seed is with you. We have no choice but to turn to you.”

“As far as I know, the reason the clan became like this is not only because of the Divine Wood.”

Xue Hui quickly asked, “Is there any other reason?”

Huanhuan did not explain in detail. Instead, she mentioned vaguely, “Do you remember that there was an internal strife in your Divine Wood clan back then?”

“I remember that after that internal strife, the Divine Wood clan suffered a huge blow. Later, they spent a lot of time and effort to gradually recover. It was from then on that the fertility rate of the Divine Wood clan became lower and lower…”

At this point, Xue Hui suddenly reacted. “Could these two things be related?”

“These are all internal matters of your Divine Wood clan. You should know better than me what the inside story is.”

Xue Hui seemed to think of something, and her expression turned ugly. She frowned.

Huanhuan was not concerned about the internal strife of the Divine Wood clan. She changed the topic. “Didn’t you say there were two things? What about the other thing?”

“Oh, the other thing is related to you.” Xue Hui came back to her senses, but there was still a hint of gloom between her eyebrows. “I’ve already told all the members of the Divine Wood clan that you’re back. Everyone’s very happy that you’re back. If you’re free, can you meet them? They miss you.”

Huanhuan agreed readily. “Sure, let’s arrange a time for us to meet. I have something to announce to everyone as well.”

“What is it?”

Huanhuan did not say explicitly, “You’ll find out.”

Xue Hui thought for a moment. “I think tomorrow will be good. Why don’t you meet everyone tomorrow?”

“Sure.”

The two of them chatted some more.

When it was about time, Xue Hui got up and left.

...

Seeing that the guest had left, Shuang Yin left for the military camp. Only Huanhuan, Eggy, and Yun Hui were left at home.

Eggy was the only child at home. She was bored. After getting her eldest sister’s permission, she flew out of the house alone.

Eggy started from the courtyard and slowly flew to the rest of the territory…

The farthest she flew was to the feather tribe.

There were many birds of the same species, and there were some chicks about her age. Eggy made many friends there, and everyone had a good time together.

Hence, she had been flying to the feather tribe on the top floor almost every day recently.

Today was no exception. It was lunchtime when Eggy flapped her wings and flew back.

As soon as she entered the house, she went straight to the kitchen and called out crisply, “Mom! Look at my new clothes. Are they beautiful?”

Huanhuan, who was cutting vegetables, looked up and saw that Eggy was covered in colorful feathers like a peacock.

Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Where did you get so many feathers?”

“These are all for me!”

...

Eggy puffed out her small chest proudly and shook the colorful feathers on her body. Her red eyes were filled with smugness.

Huanhuan didn’t think too much about it. “As long as you’re happy.”

After lunch, Yun Hui took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Huanhuan was about to take Eggy to sleep when she heard a knock on the door.

Huanhuan pulled open the door and saw more than 20 feather beasts standing outside.

“What are you doing?”

The feather beasts said in unison, “We’re here to see our future daughter-in-law!”

Huanhuan looked confused. ‘What?!’
