Chapter 515 - 515 Not Cute At All

515 Not Cute At All

Huanhuan led her through the territory of the demons, attracting the gazes of many beasts. When they saw Xing Chen appear, they were all frightened and knelt down.

Seeing this, Huanhuan complained softly, “Look, I told you it was better for you to maintain your youthful appearance. Now no matter where you go, you attract a lot of attention. It doesn’t suit me at all. I want to be low-key.”

Xing Chen endured it again and again, but he couldn’t help but mock, “Do you think you’re keeping a low profile? I wonder who rushed into the territory of the demons aggressively back then and turned this place upside down.”

Huanhuan coughed lightly. “Who hasn’t been young and frivolous?”

“It’s only been less than 10 days. How could you have been young and frivolous?”

“It’s just an a.n.a.logy. Why do you like to be so serious? You’re not cute at all.”

…

While the two of them were talking as they walked, Tao Wei and Sang Ye rushed over after hearing the news.

As soon as Tao Wei saw Xing Chen, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully. “Greetings, Father!”

Xing Chen responded casually.

Tao Wei got up, but he still kept his head lowered, not daring to look at him.

Sang Ye bowed simply. His figure was tall and slender, and his long black hair reached his waist. His cold temperament revealed a sense of beauty.

As soon as Huanhuan saw him, she let go of Xing Chen’s hand and ran over. “Sang Ye~”

Sang Ye smiled. “Mhm.”

Huanhuan couldn’t help but smile too.

‘As expected of my husband. The more I look at him, the more handsome he becomes. I want to pounce on him and lick him~’

Xing Chen sensed the heat in her gaze, and his expression darkened. His good mood disappeared.

He said coldly, “Have you seen enough of him?”

Huanhuan quickly retracted her gaze and touched her nose resentfully.

In order not to make Xing Chen explode, she had to suppress the itching thoughts in her heart for the time being. She pretended to ask, “Do you know if there’s a market nearby?”

Sang Ye was puzzled. “Why are you asking this?”

“We want to walk around and shop for some things.”

“There’s no market nearby. If you want to buy something, you have to go to the underground city. Many beasts set up stalls there to sell things. The underground city is relatively far from here. You don’t know the way. Let me send you there.”

Huanhuan was so happy that her eyes curved into crescents. “Sure, sure!”

Xing Chen saw her smile and found it especially blinding.

Why could she smile so brightly at other male beasts?

Why wasn’t he the only one who could see her smile?!

Xing Chen suddenly regretted it.

He shouldn’t have agreed to let her out. He shouldn’t have let her meet with the others.

He wanted to go back.

After Huanhuan finished talking to Sang Ye, she turned around and called Xing Chen to leave with her. However, she realized that his emotions had become very low. The negative emotions all over his body were so strong that they could almost materialize.

She quickly called out to him, “Xing Chen! Xing Chen, what’s wrong?”

Xing Chen grabbed her hand and turned to leave.

Huanhuan staggered two steps and quickly asked, “Where are you pulling me to?”

Xing Chen didn’t look back. “Home.”

“But we haven’t bought anything yet!”

“No need for that now.”

He didn’t want to go anywhere now. He just wanted her to go back with him.

Huanhuan stood rooted to the ground. “It wasn’t easy for me to come out. Can’t I go back only after buying the things?”

Xing Chen’s gaze shifted between her and Sang Ye. He asked darkly, “Do you really just want to buy things?”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you just want to take this opportunity to have a tryst with your old lover? Why use me as a cover?!”

Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “First, Sang Ye is my mate, not an old lover. Second, if we want to have a tryst, would we still bring a third wheel like you along? Third, I asked Sang Ye to bring us to the underground city because he knows the way. If you know the way, we don’t have to bring him along.”

Xing Chen was skeptical. “Really?”

“Yeah.”

Xing Chen thought to himself, ‘We just have to go to the underground city, right? I can easily find the place.’

He said, “I’ll take you. You don’t have to be led by others.”

The word ‘others’ made Sang Ye an outsider.

Sang Ye acted as if he did not hear him. His gaze was fixed on Huanhuan.

Huanhuan asked in embarra.s.sment, “Do you have money?”

Sang Ye casually handed her the hide pouch he carried with him. “Is this enough?”

Huanhuan opened the hide pouch and took a look. There were more than a dozen crystals inside. Most of them were colorless crystals, and there were a few green and red crystals mixed in.

“It’s enough.” Huanhuan pocketed it.

She turned to Xing Chen and said, “Let’s go. You lead the way.”

Xing Chen hesitated for a moment and casually chose a direction to move in. Huanhuan was about to follow when she heard Sang Ye stop them. “You’re wrong.”

Huanhuan: “Huh?”

“The underground city isn’t in that direction.”

Huanhuan: “…”

Xing Chen: “…”

This was awkward.

Tao Wei coughed lightly and pointed to the right softly. “The underground city should be in that direction. After crossing the first mountain, you’ll see a river. You can follow the river downstream. You’ll know you’ve at the underground city when you see a watchtower.”

Huanhuan glanced at Xing Chen, whose expression was unpredictable. She suppressed a smile and said, “Let’s go.”

…

Huanhuan did not use her wings and walked on her two legs. She was quite slow.

But she enjoyed this pace.

Xing Chen walked beside her, his face cold the entire time. He didn’t say a word.

Huanhuan smiled and asked, “You don’t know where the underground city is, do you?”

“Of course, I do.”

“Then why did you go the wrong way just now?”

“I haven’t been to the underground city in a long time. I forgot the direction.”

“Oh? I see.” Huanhuan’s smile became even more obvious. He was obviously just making up excuses.

Xing Chen’s expression became colder, and he was quite angry.

In all his years, this was the first time he had been so embarra.s.sed.

While climbing the mountain, Huanhuan saw a wild deer in the forest and immediately chased after it.

The wild deer ran very fast. It took Huanhuan a long time to catch it.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had run deeper into the forest. There were dense trees and gra.s.s in front of her, behind her, and to her left and right. She couldn’t see the way she had come.

Xing Chen followed behind her, maintaining a distance between them.

Huanhuan cut the wild deer into pieces and roasted the meat.

Deer blood was good stuff. Huanhuan packed the deer blood in a bag made of deer hide and planned to bring it to the underground city to see if she could sell it. If no one bought it, she would bring it back and eat it herself.

Huanhuan gave half of the roasted meat to Xing Chen.

As she ate, she asked, “Have you been to the underground city before?”

Xing Chen said, “I have.”

Huanhuan was a little surprised. She did not expect a homebody like him to have gone so far away from home.

She quickly asked, “Is the underground city fun?”

Xing Chen thought for a moment, then his bright red lips twitched. His amber eyes flashed. “It’s not bad.”

Hearing his words, Huanhuan was immediately filled with antic.i.p.ation for the underground city.
