Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sang Ye took one last look at the white tiger. “I don’t care what deal you have with Tao Wei. As long as you dare to hurt Huanhuan, I won’t let you off!”
The black python left with the king cobra.
Xue Ling called Sang Ye’s name a few times, but Sang Ye did not turn around.
He spread his wings and flew up. He saw Han Ying retreating with the army of demons.
Xue Ling immediately flew back and said to the white tiger, “Let’s hurry back. We might be able to take the opportunity to kill them.”
!!
The two of them immediately returned to the camp and told Shuang Yun that the demon army was retreating.
Shuang Yun immediately gathered his men and ran in the direction of the retreating demon army.
Han Ying had long expected Xue Ling to bring people to intercept him. Therefore, when he saw the beast army appear, he was not surprised. He calmly commanded the demon army to fight the other party.
At this moment, the flames in the camp had decreased a lot. Huanhuan and the surviving beast soldiers were trying to get water and extinguish the remaining flames.
The entire camp was burned beyond recognition. Even the land was charred.
The air smelled of smoke.
They spent a lot of effort to finally put out the fire.
Huanhuan’s face was still covered in a veil. Because it was stained with a lot of dust, the veil had become dirty.
Exhausted, she slumped to the ground and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Big Goody took the initiative to wash her face. “Mom, wash your face.”
Huanhuan took off her veil, washed her face and hands, and put on a new one.
She saw that the wolf cubs were also covered in dust. Their originally silver-white fur had also turned gray.
“Go wash up too.”
Big Goody took her brothers to the river to take a shower. Their method of showering was simple and rough. They jumped into the water and rolled around. Then, they stood up and shook the water off their bodies.
When they returned from the shower, all the dust was gone, but their fur was standing on end.
They looked like four huge white furb.a.l.l.s.
Huanhuan couldn’t help but touch their heads. “Go find a clean place to sunbathe.”
The sun was out, and the Moonlight Mushrooms by the river were no longer glowing. They had shrunk a lot, and their light blue caps were cl.u.s.tered together. They looked very inconspicuous.
If they hadn’t seen their shocking lethality last night, the beast soldiers wouldn’t have believed that these little things ate beasts without spitting out their bones!
Out of fear and respect for them, the beast soldiers would deliberately avoid these mushrooms when they got water.
The four wolf cubs were a little afraid of the mushrooms at first, but Big Goody was very bold. She took the initiative to go over and take a look. Not only did these mushrooms not attack her, but they also gave her many small mushrooms for breakfast.
Big Goody tasted them. The mushrooms were quite delicious. They tasted like meat.
After eating some food, Big Goody immediately had a very good impression of these Moonlight Mushrooms. She was not afraid of them at all.
She brought her brothers to pick many mushrooms and sent them to make breakfast for the beast soldiers. Then, she found a place near the Moonlight Mushrooms and lay down to bask in the sun.
A beast soldier rushed over to look for Huanhuan.
“Witch Doctor Huanhuan, the city lord of Blue Crystal City has woken up!”
Huanhuan immediately followed the beast soldiers to a simple temporary tent. The city lord of thBlue Crystal City was tied to a pillar. The demonic patterns on his body had disappeared, and his eyes had returned to their normal color.
He was in a terrible state of mind and looked very haggard.
“Who tied me up? Let go of me! Do you know who I am? I’m the city lord of Blue Crystal City! You’ll be sentenced to death for treating me like this!”
When Huanhuan walked into the tent, she happened to see the city lord reprimanding the two beast soldiers who were in charge of guarding him.
She asked the two beast soldiers to step aside, then said to the city lord, “Many beasts saw you attack Shuang Yun on the battlefield.”
The city lord’s expression changed, then he gritted his teeth. “I wasn’t thinking clearly at that time. I didn’t mean to attack him. It was all a misunderstanding!”
“Misunderstanding?” Huanhuan looked at him calmly. “If your attack on Shuang Yun was a misunderstanding, then is your demonization also a misunderstanding?”
“What demonization? You’re talking nonsense!”
“And the corpse of the beast soldier buried under your tent… Is that also a misunderstanding?”
The city lord’s expression changed again and again. His face became even paler. Only his tone remained very firm. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Huanhuan approached him slightly. “Don’t you smell that stench on you? That’s the unique smell of a demon.”
“I don’t smell it! I’m not demonized. I was wronged!”
The city lord refused to admit that he had been demonized.
Huanhuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. She took two steps back and placed her hands behind her back.
“It doesn’t matter whether you admit it or not. In any case, the evidence is conclusive. When this battle is over, you’ll be dealt with as per the law. As the lord of a city, you were actually demonized. You even killed a beast soldier and betrayed your own people on the battlefield… These crimes are enough for you to die a thousand deaths.”
The more she spoke, the uglier the city lord’s expression became.
He tried to struggle. “I didn’t kill the beast soldier. My mind was a mess. I had no idea what happened. When I came back to my senses, the beast soldier was already dead. I don’t know anything!”
Huanhuan shook her head. “You should keep these words for the people in the temple. Take a guess if they’ll believe you?”
The city lord’s lips turned pale.
The temple wouldn’t be stupid enough to believe what he’d just said.
He knew better than anyone that at this point, he was really doomed.
Huanhuan said, “If you tell the truth about how you were demonized, I can consider pleading for you and asking the people from the temple to spare your life.”
The city lord did not believe her at all. “You’re just a small witch doctor. Who are you to plead for me? The people from the temple won’t care about you at all.”
Huanhuan lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “To be honest, I know someone who’s above the temple.”
“Who?”
Huanhuan raised her thumb. “He’s the most respected beast in the 10,000 Beasts Temple. I know him, and we’re friends. As long as he says the word, your life will immediately be spared.”
The city lord was skeptical. “You know First Elder? But didn’t he want to kill you previously?”
“It’s not that old guy. It’s that beast who has a higher status than him,” Huanhuan said seriously. “That person is especially good-looking. Unfortunately, his eyes aren’t very good. He rarely goes out to see people.”
Upon hearing this, the city lord’s eyes immediately widened in disbelief. “Y-You know the prophet?!”
“Shh!” Huanhuan put her index finger to her lips and gestured for him to be quiet. “You just have to know who it was. Don’t say his name. We have to keep a low profile.”
