When Beauty Meets Beasts

Dark Moon City was different from Rock City. Most of the beasts there still maintained the habit of eating raw meat.

This included Wu Huo.

He ordered someone to bring large pieces of raw meat to Huanhuan and the others.

The meat had just been cut from prey. It was fresh and bloody.

Wu Huo cut off a piece of meat with his fingernail, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

Hei Yao sat beside him and lowered his head to eat the raw meat in the basin.

Huanhuan looked at him with sympathy again. "Is this what you usually eat?"

Seeing that they were not eating, Wu Huo chuckled. "That's right. You shouldn't be used to it, right? But we only have raw meat here. If you don't like it, you can only leave."

Huanhuan looked at Bai Di and asked him solemnly, "I'll leave dinner to you."

Bai Di picked up the raw meat and quickly cut it into small pieces. He smeared them with special condiments and skewered them with a branch. "Fire," he said to Xue Ling.

Xue Ling spread his hands and flames ignited.

Bai Di placed the skewers on the fire to roast.

Soon, the rich fragrance of roasted meat filled the room.

Shuang Jing was drooling.

Bai Di handed Huanhuan the first skewer of roasted meat. "Eat slowly. Be careful. It's hot."

Huanhuan carefully ate a piece of roasted meat. It was tender on the inside and carried the fragrance of fruitwood. It couldn't taste better!

She gave him a thumbs-up. "Delicious!"

Wu Huo watched blankly as they finished their tea party and began to barbecue.

Huanhuan waved the skewer in front of him. "Do you want some? It tastes super good!"

Wu Huo said, "No."

Huanhuan took out two more jars of fruit wine. "Do you want some wine?"

This time, Wu Huo didn't refuse directly. He looked at the wine jar in her hand with a complicated gaze.

Previously, they had also developed the recipe for brewing wine. Ma Qing even went to the Black River Wolf Tribe with the recipe in an attempt to get more believers. Unexpectedly, not only did they not subdue the Black River Wolf Tribe, but they also handed over their recipe for brewing wine.

Now, not only Dark Moon City but even Rock City could make wine.

Dark Moon City could not monopolize it, so the value of this wine plummeted.

It had been a long time since the incident, but Wu Huo still felt a little indignant. He took the bowl Huanhuan handed him. It was filled with light brown fruit wine.

Wu Huo first leaned closer and sniffed.

It smelled sweet and fruity.

This should be wine made from fruits. It was different from the ingredients used in Dark Moon City.

Wu Huo tried to take a sip.

Huanhuan asked, "How is it?"

Wu Huo frowned at the fruit wine in the bowl. It was very sweet. After swallowing it, it felt a little mellow.

It was indeed completely different from the wine brewed in Dark Moon City.

In terms of taste, Rock City's fruit wine was undoubtedly the best.

Wu Huo couldn't help but take another sip.

He took one sip after another.

By the time he came back to his senses, the bowl had been emptied.

Wu Huo felt his vision blur. He shook his head and frowned. "There's something wrong with your wine."

"What's wrong with it?"

"You drugged the wine."

Huanhuan immediately shouted, "Don't talk nonsense! We're drinking the same wine as you and we're fine. Why are you the only one saying there's a problem?"

"If you didn't drug me, why do I feel dizzy?"

Faced with Wu Huan's question, Huanhuan couldn't help but smile. "This is a normal reaction after drinking. It's commonly known as being drunk."

She pointed to Shuang Yun, who was already a little tipsy. "Look at him. He's a little drunk like you."

Wu Huo looked at Shuang Yun and saw him lying on the table. His gaze was blurry, and he was muttering.

Huanhuan approached Wu Huo with the wine jar and asked with a smile, "Do you want another bowl?"

Wu Huo held his forehead with one hand and waved the other. "I'm not drinking anymore."

He had only drunk a bowl of wine, but he had already become like this. If he drank any more, he might faint.

Huanhuan filled a bowl with wine and placed it in front of him.

"To be honest, we met people from Dark Moon City when we were shopping this morning."

Upon hearing her words, Hei Yao immediately sat up straight and looked at her warily.

Normally, Wu Huo would have sensed that Huanhuan was trying to get information out of him, but now that he was drunk and dizzy, he was no longer as sharp and wise as before.

He put his head in his hands and frowned in thought. "This morning? I haven't been out—"

"Did you send anyone out?"

As soon as Huanhuan asked this, Hei Yao immediately jumped onto Wu Huo's lap and grabbed his sleeve. Just as it was about to tell Wu Huo not to speak nonsense, Huanhuan picked it up.

She put the black cat on her lap and covered its mouth with one hand so that it couldn't make a sound. She pressed her other hand to its back so that it couldn't escape.

Hei Yao was exasperated and was about to open its mouth to bite when a little black snake suddenly slithered out of Huanhuan's sleeve and bared his teeth at it.

"Hiss!"

'If you bite, I'll eat you!'

The other party was clearly smaller than it, but Hei Yao still instinctively sensed danger. It had no choice but to shut its mouth and lie on Huanhuan's lap, trying to reduce its presence.

It was a sign of fear.

However, Clement still stared at it without blinking. He was clearly worried.

Huanhuan was still waiting for Wu Huo's answer.

Wu Huo thought for a long time before saying, "I-I did send a group of people out…"

Huanhuan guided him patiently. "Where did you send them? What did they do?"

"T-They went to the trading area in the outer city… to set up an ambush… Attack… Kill…"

Before he could finish, his eyes closed and he fell asleep on the table.

Huanhuan stood up and placed Hei Yao on the table.

Hei Yao immediately patted Wu Huo's face with its claws, wanting to wake him up.

Unfortunately, Wu Huo was sleeping soundly.

No matter how hard it slapped him, he wouldn't wake up.

Huanhuan said to Bai Di and the others, "The target is unconscious. We can go home now."

Xue Ling pointed at the drunk Shuang Yun and asked, "What about him?"

"Carry him back."

Xue Ling quickly retreated. "I'm not going to carry him back."

Huanhuan's gaze swept over her mates, not knowing who should be the one to carry Shuang Yun back.

In the end, Bai Di took the initiative. "I'll carry him."

Bai Di was the most considerate! Huanhuan smiled. "Alright!"

The entire family returned to their residence. Shuang Jing and Leng Xiao separated from them on the way and went home separately.

When they got home, Bai Di threw Shuang Yun onto the bed.

Shuang Yun wasn't bothered and fell asleep.

Bai Di walked into the living room and heard Huanhuan talking.

"I've already asked Wu Huo just now. He said that a group of people was indeed sent out this morning. I think it's the group of killers who attacked us."

Xue Ling sneered and said, "In that case, let's stop wasting time and capture and kill them. Let's see if they still dare to attack us in the future!"
