When Beauty Meets Beasts

Huanhuan raised her conditions on the spot.

"I want to see Jian Yi. Otherwise, I'll go back now."

He Zong hurriedly said, "If you leave, who'll go and see the leader of the merfolk?"

"Whoever wants to see him can see him. In any case, if I can't see Jian Yi, I won't agree to see anyone else."

Huanhuan turned around and was about to leave.

He Zong reached out to stop her, but he was blocked by Xing Chen.

Xing Chen looked at him coldly. "I warned you. She's mine. You're not to touch her."

He Zong was so angry that he wanted to knock Xing Chen's head open to see what was inside!

The two of them were clearly on the same side, but Xing Chen was always on Huanhuan's side. At this moment, he was even ganging up with Lin Huanhuan to threaten him!

If not for the fact that he was powerful, He Zong really wanted to throw him down the mountain!

He Zong gritted his teeth. "Alright, I promise you. I'll let you see Jian Yi."

Huanhuan stopped. "I want to see him now."

"The leader of the merfolk will be here soon…"

"I don't care. If I say I want to see Jian Yi now, he has to appear in front of me now!"

For the merfolk and shark crystal, He Zong had to endure it!

He Zong suppressed his anger with difficulty and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Alright, I'll get someone to bring Jian Yi over now."

Huanhuan said, "Then hurry up. Time waits for no man."

He Zong called over the beast soldiers and asked them to quickly bring Jian Yi over.

Before long, Jian Yi was brought to Huanhuan.

He looked even more disheveled than yesterday. There were even a few whip wounds on his body.

Huanhuan glared at He Zong. "You actually tortured him!"

He Zong sneered. "He spouted nonsense. For your sake, I didn't get anyone to beat him to death."

Huanhuan sat down and carefully checked his wounds.

There were not many wounds, but each wound was deep. The flesh at the edge of the wound turned outward.

Obviously, there were barbs on the surface of the whip.

Huanhuan took out the jar containing blood from her space and fed Jian Yi two drops of blood.

A moment later, the wounds on Jian Yi's body healed at a visible speed.

He Zong watched coldly from the sidelines. "You're really generous. You gave such a precious 'medicine' to a servant. When I ask you for it later, I hope you won't refuse."

She could not be bothered with him.

She looked down at Jian Yi and asked softly, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Jian Yi rubbed his chest and looked puzzled. "It's strange. Not only have my wounds healed, but my strength has also recovered. What did you feed me just now?"

He Zong smiled sarcastically. "What else could it be? Of course, it's—"

Huanhuan interrupted him. "Do you still want me to see the leader of the merfolk?"

He Zong sneered. "Yes! Of course!"

After obtaining the shark crystal and the merfolk's support, he would be sure to deal with Lin Huanhuan!

A beast soldier ran in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the leader of the merfolk is already outside the hall."

He Zong said, "Quickly invite him in."

"Alright!"

The beast soldier ran out of the temple. A moment later, the leader of the merfolk walked in with his elder.

Many years had passed since they last parted.

Chen Yuan had not changed much from before. His long purple hair hung behind his back, and his beautiful and exquisite appearance had an extraordinary demonic aura. The light purple shark silk robe on his body reflected light like fine fish scales.

The merfolk's elder walked beside him, his long white beard almost reaching the ground. His eyes swept across everyone in the hall before stopping on Lin Huanhuan.

The two of them knelt down and bowed.

"Greetings, Prophet."

Huanhuan reached out to help them up. "Please get up."

Chen Yuan and Zao Nian stood up.

When Huanhuan retracted her hand, she couldn't help but glance at Chen Yuan.

When she reached out to help him up, he had secretly written a word on her palm.

Save!

Huanhuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Chen Yuan had deliberately chosen this critical moment to look for her to save her from imprisonment?!

He Zong, who was beside them, stared at them unblinkingly. Huanhuan had no way of asking Chen Yuan what was going on.

She could only suppress the doubts in her heart and put on a calm expression from the beginning to the end. She could not let He Zong suspect anything.

Chen Yuan said, "The demons and monsters have joined forces to invade the beast continent, and Dark Moon City has joined the enemy. Rainbow Lake, where we live, is very close to Dark Moon City. In order to avoid being affected, we have no choice but to lead our clansmen out of Rainbow Lake and come join the City of 10,000 Beasts. We hope that the prophet and the king of all beasts will take us in."

Not only were the merfolk beautiful, but they were also powerful. With their help, it was no different from adding wings to a tiger.

He Zong agreed without hesitation. "Alright! We welcome you warmly!"

Chen Yuan glanced at the elder beside him.

Zao Nian took out a small wooden box and handed it over with both hands. "This is the supreme treasure of our merfolk, the shark crystal. It's for the great prophet. I hope you can protect the health of our merfolk for generations."

He Zong stared fixedly at the small wooden box.

If not for the fact that there was someone watching from the side, he would have pounced on the wooden box and snatched it away.

Huanhuan reached out to take the wooden box and smiled. "Since you're willing to give me such an important treasure, I'll naturally do my best to protect you."

Zao Nian nodded in relief. "With your words, we're relieved."

He Zong could not suppress the greed in his heart and said, "Prophet, I've never seen the legendary shark crystal. I want to see it with my own eyes and broaden my horizons. Can you lend me the shark crystal?"

Huanhuan glanced at Chen Yuan and Zao Nian.

Chen Yuan just smiled and said, "Since the king of all beasts is interested in the treasure, there's no harm in taking a look."

Hearing this, Huanhuan placed the small wooden box in her hand into He Zong's palm.

He Zong stared at the small wooden box with shining eyes and opened it expectantly…

Unexpectedly, the moment the box appeared, a thin venomous snake darted out of the box and pounced on He Zong's head!

At the same time, Chen Yuan strode forward and pulled Huanhuan behind him. He shouted in a low voice, "Follow me!"

He Zong threw away the small wooden box and raised his hand to block the snake.

Even so, the viper bit his arm.

It was so painful that his entire face contorted!

He forcefully pulled the poisonous snake down, threw it to the ground, and stomped it into a paste.

At this time, Chen Yuan and Zao Nian had already brought Huanhuan to the entrance of the temple. Xing Chen and Jian Yi also followed.

He Zong roared in exasperation, "How dare you lie to me? I want all of you to die!"

Under his orders, the beast soldiers surged toward Lin Huanhuan and Chen Yuan from all directions.

Chen Yuan and Zao Nian were both mermen. They were good at underwater combat, but their combat strength on land was very ordinary.

At the critical moment, Xing Chen and Jian Yi attacked and stopped those beast soldiers.
