Chapter 311: I’m Cute Too
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huanhuan hugged the water pouch and gulped it down.
How satisfying!
She wiped her mouth and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, like a squirrel in a rice barrel.
Xing Chen held out his hand. “Give me a sip or two too.”
Huanhuan paused and asked timidly, “Didn’t I give you a pouch of water?”
!!
“I’m done with this.”
Huanhuan quickly said, “Then I’ll get you another pouch.”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll just drink from your pouch.”
Huanhuan wanted to say no, but in view of the demon king’s ruthlessness, she handed over the water pouch in her hand.
Xing Chen still dutifully pretended to be blind and didn’t take notice of the reluctance on her face. He reached out and took the water pouch. He opened his mouth to suck on the spout and raised his head to take two large gulps.
After drinking, he licked his tongue across the mouth of the pouch, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Huanhuan immediately felt like her scalp was about to explode.
She had the illusion that the other party was not drinking water but her blood!
Did he know that she knew who he was, so he was deliberately threatening her to behave?!
As expected of the demon king. He was so scheming!
Huanhuan shivered in fear.
After Xing Chen finished drinking, he did not return the water pouch to Huanhuan. Instead, he gave her the pouch he had used before.
“Fill it with water.”
Huanhuan took the pouch and quickly filled it with water before handing it to him.
But Xing Chen said, “Keep it for yourself. This water pouch is enough for me.”
Huanhuan thought to herself, ‘This pouch has been blessed by the devil. How would I dare to use it again?!’
Although she was very resistant, she still pretended to be obedient. “Okay.”
Huanhuan heard footsteps approaching. She immediately pulled her veil to cover most of her face, revealing only her eyes.
The newcomer was one of Hou Yan’s mates. His body was covered in sand, and his lips were so dry that they were cracked.
When he saw the water pouches in Huanhuan’s and Xingchen’s hands, he swallowed involuntarily. His voice was very hoa.r.s.e.
“The beast who knows where the rock mountain is is dead. Now, we’re prepared to go straight to the nearest beast city to replenish our supplies and sell the goods we brought. It’s fine if you’re willing to come with us, but if you’re not, you can choose to leave now.”
Huanhuan did not know the way. In this desert, if no one led the way, she and Xing Chen would get lost in minutes.
It was one thing to get lost, but it was terrifying to be lost with the demon king!
She didn’t want to be alone with the demon king at all!
Huanhuan quickly said, “We’ll go to the beast city with you!”
The beast wasn’t surprised by the answer. He nodded. “That would be best.”
Huanhuan asked again, “Which beast city are you going to?”
“The City of 10,000 Beasts.”
Huanhuan was slightly stunned. She had long heard of the reputation of the City of 10,000 Beasts. She did not expect to be able to see it with her own eyes this time. She could not help but look forward to it.
The beast said again, “We don’t have enough food and water. Can you give us some food and water? We’ll pay you back double when we reach the beast city.”
There was still a lot of food and water stored in the s.p.a.ce, so it was not a problem to distribute them to others. However, in view of this group of beasts’ previous bad record of having ulterior motives, Huanhuan did not foolishly agree this time.
She turned to Xing Chen. “I don’t have enough food and water. How much do you have? Can you give them some?”
She pushed the dilemma directly to Xing Chen and had him solve this problem.
Xing Chen’s lips twitched in a half-smile. “I don’t have much food and water left either.”
It meant he couldn’t give any to them.
The beast’s expression immediately turned ugly.
Without another word, he turned and walked away.
After he left, he immediately gathered with his companions to discuss something.
They were too far away for Huanhuan to hear what they were saying, but it was obvious that they were up to no good again.
She sighed slowly. ‘Isn’t it good to be alive? Why do you have to court death?’
They had already used the drug once. Huanhuan guessed that the group would not use it again. After all, few people would fall twice in the same place.
It turned out that she was right. Those beasts had no intention of drugging her again.
It was not because they were worried that Huanhuan and Xing Chen would not fall for it, but because the drug was very expensive. They had previously spent a lot of money to buy that little bit from a witch doctor. They used it on Huanhuan and Xing Chen, but they did not expect it to not work in the end!
What a scam!
Without drugs as support, this group of beasts could only take advantage of the darkness.
However, before their claws could touch Huanhuan and Xing Chen, their ankles were wrapped by a long and soft vine. Then, with a sudden tug, they were thrown more than 10 meters away.
Although the sand was very soft and they wouldn’t die from the impact, they still ended up with a mouthful of sand.
This happened several times in a row. In the end, these beasts finally realized that these two beasts who looked easy to bully were actually not easy to bully at all!
They even began to suspect that the deaths of Xin Hong and the others were definitely related to these two!
Knowing that they were no match for Huanhuan and Xing Chen, this group of beasts finally stopped attacking them.
They had to think of something else.
Huanhuan touched the creeper vine and smiled. “Little Green, you did well last night.”
The creeper shook its leaves happily.
Xing Chen watched the interaction between them calmly, his gaze cold.
The creeper seemed to sense danger and instinctively shrank into Huanhuan’s palm.
Huanhuan touched it twice to comfort it.
Xing Chen looked at the creeper critically and asked, “Is this your pet?”
“I guess.”
Xing Chen commented mercilessly, “It’s quite ugly.”
The creeper vine: “Boo-hoo~”
‘Do you believe that I’ll cry?!’
Huanhuan wanted to ask Xing Chen, ‘I thought you can’t see? How do you know that Little Green is ugly? Demon King, you accidentally forgot your persona again!’
However, she did not dare to say this. She could only complain silently in her heart.
Huanhuan coughed lightly. “I think it’s quite cute.”
The creeper immediately smiled through its tears.
Unwilling to be left alone, the skullcap lowered its flower and rubbed it against her cheek. “Mom, I’m cute too,” it said unhappily.
Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Yes, you’re both cute.”
Xing Chen sneered.
The plants were a little afraid of him, so Huanhuan let them retreat.
For the next few days, the group of beasts brainstormed almost every day about how to get rid of Huanhuan and Xing Chen and s.n.a.t.c.h the food and water from them.
They had no drugs, and they could not use force either.
They racked their brains but could not think of a perfect plan.
At this moment, they were suddenly attacked by golden-tailed scorpions!
