When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 135 - Ulterior Motives

Chapter 135: Ulterior Motives

The next day, Huanhuan gathered the students.

“I’m going on a trip. I might not be back for a month. Be good for a while.”

She gave some homework to the students and instructed them to complete their homework seriously. When she returned, she would check their answers.

The students were very reluctant to part with their teacher and looked at her reluctantly.

“Teacher, you have to come back early!”

Huanhuan bade farewell to the students and followed Bai Di down the mountain.

Bai Di turned into a big white tiger, and Huanhuan sat on his back, ready to go.

Shuang Yun and Sang Ye brought the wolf cubs to send them off. “Let’s send you down the mountain.”

The group quickly reached the foot of the mountain. Shuang Yun was unwilling to part with them. He said that he wanted to send them off at a farther spot, but in the blink of an eye, they had traveled a long distance.

Seeing that they were almost out of the forest, Bai Di turned to them. “Go back. Just send us off till here.”

Huanhuan jumped from the tiger’s back to the ground. She ran to Shuang Yun and Sang Ye and gave them each a kiss.

“I’ll miss you guys.”

Shuang Yun hugged her and refused to let go. “Must you go to Beast City? Can you not go?”

Huanhuan stroked his short silver hair and comforted him with a smile. “It’s only a month. It’ll be over soon.”

Shuang Yun was still reluctant.

This was the first time his little female would be out of the house for so long. He would spend every minute worrying about whether Huanhuan could eat well outside, have enough clothes to wear, or if she would be bullied by others.

Sang Ye hugged Huanhuan from behind. He didn’t say anything. His cold lips pressed against her neck as he kissed her.

The wolf cubs’ wet eyes were filled with reluctance at the sight of their mother who was about to leave.

They squeezed into Huanhuan’s arms and whimpered softly.

Huanhuan slowly retreated from Shuang Yun and Sang Ye’s arms.

She stroked the furry heads of the wolf cubs. “You have to listen to your daddies and don’t get into trouble. Do you understand?”

The wolf cubs rubbed against her palm. “Roar!”

After all, they were her flesh and blood. Huanhuan couldn’t bear to part with them. She hugged the children tightly. “Be good and eat well. Although your father’s cooking isn’t good, you’re not allowed to be picky.”

“Roar! Roar!”

Shuang Yun couldn’t help but explode. “Is my cooking that bad?!”

Huanhuan smiled. “Not bad. It’s just not delicious.”

The wolf cubs howled, agreeing with their mother.

“…” Shuang Yun was very angry. He decided to use this one-month period to train his culinary skills so that these guys wouldn’t underestimate him again!

Huanhuan reluctantly bade farewell to Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and the children. She climbed onto the white tiger’s back and turned around to wave at her family. “Goodbye!”

Shuang Yun shouted, “Come back early. Don’t fool around on the road!”

Sang Ye stared at Huanhuan. “If you’re not back in a month, I’ll look for you.”

The white tiger ran, carrying Huanhuan into the distance.

“Roar!” The wolf cubs suddenly ran after them.

Unfortunately, they were not as fast as the white tiger and were quickly left behind. They could only watch as their mother disappeared from sight.

Huanhuan sat on the white tiger’s back and wiped the tears from her eyes.

Bai Di slowed down slightly. “If you can’t bear to part with them, you can play for a few days before leaving.”

“No need.” Huanhuan tried to calm down. “The children will grow up eventually. I can’t be by their sides forever. No matter how reluctant I am, I have to learn to let them go.”

Bai Di said gently, “Shuang Yun and Sang Ye will always be with you.”

Huanhuan stroked the white fur on his back. “Yes, let’s grow old together!”

Then, a small flower dangled from her head and nuzzled her cheek.

“Mom~”

Huanhuan was very surprised. “Little Lotus, why are you here?!”

Bai Di said, “It was in your hair. Didn’t you notice it?”

She didn’t notice at all! Huanhuan touched the little flower. “I thought it was with Xue Ling!”

Speaking of Xue Ling, she hadn’t seen him since yesterday.

Where did he go to cause trouble again?!

事实说明,人真的经不起惦念.

Just as she said Xue Ling’s name, she saw a fiery red figure descend from the sky and stop steadily beside her.

His huge red wings were extremely dazzling, like burning flames. They could be seen clearly from afar.

Xue Ling smiled as he looked at Huanhuan. His long golden hair swayed gently behind him, and the red crystals embedded in his hair were shining.

“I thought I heard you call my name just now.”

As soon as she saw him, she looked as if she had seen an incredible demon. Her face was horrified and guarded. “Why are you here?!”

“I appeared because you shouted my name.”

“…You heard wrong. I didn’t call your name just now. Go back to where you came from.”

Xue Ling approached her. “Why don’t you admit it? You clearly missed me just now. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have called my name.”

The lotus immediately reached out and rubbed Xue Ling’s cheek. She called out affectionately, “Dad~”

Xue Ling touched the small flower. “Good child.”

“Narcissist, who did you say miss you?!” Huanhuan rolled her eyes.

“If you don’t miss me, why did you call my name?”

Huanhuan really couldn’t stand his narcissism.

Although Shuang Yun was narcissistic sometimes, he would make Huanhuan feel that he was cute. However, Xue Ling’s narcissism made Huanhuan want to beat him up.

No matter how good-looking he was, it could not offset Huanhuan’s rejection of him.

She snorted. “Cut the c.r.a.p. Tell me the truth. Why are you following me?”

“I want to go to Sun City. I heard you’re going there too. Let’s go together.”

Xue Ling said it calmly, but Huanhuan did not believe a word of it.

He had to have an ulterior motive for choosing to go to Sun City at this time!

She looked at him warily. “I don’t care where you want to go, but if you dare to play tricks behind my back, I won’t let you off!”

Xue Ling smiled, his gorgeous face almost charming.

“You’d better not let me off. That way, you can keep thinking about me.”

Huanhuan was already used to being teased and was immune to his sweet words. She did not react at all after hearing his words.

Xue Ling didn’t mind.

Bai Di heard their conversation clearly, but he remained silent.

He neither invited Xue Ling to join them nor had any intention of chasing him away.

The three of them maintained this ambiguous interaction and continued to move in the direction of Sun City.

Perhaps it was because Bai Di and Xue Ling’s presence was too high, they barely encountered any danger along the way. Occasionally, they would encounter a few beasts, but they would tactfully avoid them.

Seven days later, they finally arrived at the closest beast city to Sun City—Red Crystal City.
