When Beauty Meets Beasts

807 I Was Wrong!

Two days later, the beast soldiers reported that they had already spotted the high priest and the others near Black River. They should be able to reach Rock City soon.

Shuang Yun immediately got someone to open the city gate. He went to welcome them personally, and Cang Yi followed.

The two of them craned their necks and finally saw a group of beasts walking out of the forest.

Shuang Yin was in the lead. Shuang Mu, Shuang Shuang, and Shuang Hua followed closely behind.

Shuang Yun eagerly went forward.

The four children called out to their father.

Shuang Yun first patted his eldest daughter’s shoulder, then squeezed his three sons’ arms. He kept nodding. “Yes, not bad. You’ve grown much stronger!”

Cang Yi followed. He immediately saw Cang Rong following Shuang Yin.

Not only did this kid look taller, but he was also tanned. He looked even sturdier.

From the looks of it, he must have been living a good life!

After feeling relieved, Cang Yi strode forward and grabbed Cang Rong’s ear, cursing.

“You little bastard. Instead of staying at home, you actually sneaked out to play alone. You made me think that something had happened to you, so I came all the way to Rock City to take revenge. You’re really angering me to death!”

Quan Rong covered his head and shouted, “Brother, I was wrong! I won’t do it again!”

Shuang Hua gloated. “You deserve it!”

Bai Di carried Huanhuan over.

Shuang Yun reached out and hugged Huanhuan. He nuzzled her cheek.

“You’re finally back. I missed you.”

Huanhuan kissed his cheek. “I missed you too.”

Shuang Yun wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more benefits, but he saw a little black snake crawl out of her sleeve.

Clement looked him up and down.

This piece of meat didn’t smell good. It wasn’t delicious.

If Clement was hungry, he might not care about the taste, but recently, he had been able to eat delicious fruits and fresh meat every day. His mother had fed him well, and he had become picky.

He wouldn’t care about bad-tasting meat.

Clement shrank back into Huanhuan’s sleeve without showing much interest.

Shuang Yun asked, “This little thing is?”

Huanhuan introduced, “His name is Clement. He’s my and Sang Ye’s child.”

Speaking of Sang Ye, Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask, “Sang Ye, Xue Ling, and Little Black aren’t back yet?”

“They said it’ll be a few days before they reach Rock City.”

Shuang Yun carried Huanhuan into the city, and the others followed.

They were finally home!

Huanhuan looked at the familiar table and stools in front of her and felt especially at ease.

A golden ball of fur flew into the house and fell into Huanhuan’s arms.

“Mom, chirp chirp!”

Huanhuan hugged her with both hands. “Eggy, fly slower. Be careful not to hit your head.”

Eggy lay in her mother’s arms, overjoyed.

Mom was finally back!

Clement suddenly crawled out of Huanhuan’s sleeve and stared at the yellow furball in front of him. He stuck out his snake tongue. “Hiss~”

This little furball looked good.

He wanted to eat it…

At this moment, Eggy was still immersed in the joy of charging at her mother and did not notice a pair of scarlet eyes staring at her.

When Clement opened his mouth and pounced over, Eggy instinctively sensed danger and flapped her wings to fly!

She just happened to avoid being attacked.

Clement immediately arched his body after missing. His two small eyes stared intently at the yellow furball, waiting for an opportunity to attack a second time.

Eggy looked at the little black snake in horror. “What is this?!”

Huanhuan was shocked.

She did not expect Clement to suddenly attack Eggy.

Huanhuan quickly stopped him and warned him not to hurt anyone.

She explained to Eggy, “This is your brother. His name is Clement. He’s a good person, but he’s a little gluttonous. He didn’t hurt you just now, right?”

Eggy landed on the table and looked the little black snake in her mother’s hand up and down. Her eyes darted around.

She was originally the youngest in the family, but now, she had a younger brother.

That meant she would have an underling in the future.

Eggy was very envious of her big sister. Every time her big sister went out, she would have many lackeys behind her. They were especially impressive. She wanted to be that impressive too.

Now, she finally had an underling.

Although this lackey looked a little fierce, it didn’t matter. She would train him well.

...

Eggy combed her feathers and puffed out her small chest. “I’m fine. He’s too slow to hurt me.”

Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

She tapped Clement’s head with her fingers, indicating that he should behave and stop fooling around.

Clement wagged his snake tail and kept staring at the yellow furball on the table. He secretly wondered how he could eat the prey.

Eggy flew to her mother’s shoulder. “Mom, this is the first time Little Brother has returned home. He’s still unfamiliar with this place. Why don’t I take him out to play?”

It was a good thing for Eggy to bring her brother out.

But Huanhuan did not dare to agree.

After all, Clement was a ‘foodie’ who dared to eat anything. He had almost swallowed Eggy just now. If he was allowed to go out with Eggy…

Huanhuan was very worried that Eggy would be missing upon returning.

She hesitated. “There’s no hurry. We’ve been traveling for so long. Clement should be tired. Let him rest for a while.”

Eggy was a little disappointed that she did not get the chance to develop a relationship with her underling.

...

But she quickly perked up again.

It didn’t matter. They still had a lot of time to bond.

She was definitely going to make Clement her underling!

…

The Blazing Dog Tribe was invited by Shuang Yun to rest in a relay station specially used to receive foreign guests in the city.

At this moment, in one of the bedrooms, Quan Rong was receiving a scolding from his brother.

“Why didn’t you say anything before sneaking out? Even if you wanted to go out and play, why couldn’t you have told me? Do you know how dangerous the outside world is? If something happens to you, what do you want me to do? Our parents died early, and you’re the only family I have left. If even you leave me, what reason do I have to live?”

Quan Rong lowered his head without a word.

Cang Yi’s mouth was dry from talking. He took a deep breath and asked in a hoarse voice, “I’ve said so much, but you’re not even reacting. Are you ignoring my words?”

Quan Rong looked up. “Brother, I’m sorry…”

When Cang Yi saw that his brother’s eyes were red, his heart skipped a beat.

His precious brother had been pampered since he was young. He was even more arrogant than the sky. Even if he did something wrong, he would never lower his head and apologize.

In all these years, this was the first time he had heard his brother take the initiative to apologize.

The anger in his stomach immediately dissipated.

Cang Yi quickly rubbed his brother’s head. “It’s good that you know your mistake. Be careful next time. Don’t make another mistake.”

Quan Rong wiped his eyes and agreed solemnly. “Okay!”
