Xue Ling spread his huge red wings and flew above the forest with Huanhuan in his arms.
When they looked down, they could see the forest very clearly.
They soon saw Bai Di.
Bai Di was injured. The smell of blood attracted the beasts in the forest. They were huge beasts that looked like black bears. They were covered in short black fur and were very fierce.
It took Bai Di some effort to knock the beasts down.
Xue Ling happened to land at this moment. Before he could steady himself, Huanhuan broke free from his arms and ran toward Bai Di.
âHuanhuan, why are you here?!â Bai Di was shocked.
He quickly wiped the blood off his body and reached out to hug the little female who had fallen into his arms.
Huanhuan didnât mind the smell of blood on him at all. She rubbed against his chest affectionately. âI was worried about you, so I asked Xue Ling to bring me to you.â
Bai Di looked up at Xue Ling and said apologetically, âIâve troubled you.â
Xue Ling found their intimacy a little blinding.
âSheâs a real pain in the *ss. If I wasnât in such a good mood today, I wouldnât have bothered.â
Huanhuan looked up from Bai Diâs arms. âI promised to make him two big roasted pheasants tonight before he was willing to bring me to you.â
......
However, Xue Ling said, âItâs your honor that I like your roasted pheasant. I wouldnât care if others offered to make roasted pheasant for me!â
Bai Di stroked Huanhuanâs head and looked at Xue Ling. âNo matter what, thank you for taking care of Huanhuan these two days.â
Xue Ling couldnât bear to see them being intimate. He flicked his sleeve and flew away.
Before he left, he didnât forget to remind Huanhuan, âRemember to make roasted pheasant for me when you get home tonight!â
âGot it.â
As soon as Xue Ling left, Huanhuan immediately asked Bai Di about Sang Yeâs whereabouts.
Bai Di briefly explained how Sang Ye had awakened his demon bloodline and fallen into madness.
Although he said it casually, Huanhuan was still shocked.
Huanhuan said, âSang Ye has reached a dead-end. Heâs concluded that heâs a bomb. He doesnât know when heâll explode and bring danger to the people around him. We have to find him quickly and drag him back from this dead-end.â
Bai Di frowned. âI managed to follow Sang Yeâs aura all the way here, but it disappeared at this spot. Iâve been searching for a long time, but I canât find any trace of him.â
It was because he had been running back and forth that his wound tore. Then, the smell of blood attracted ferocious beasts.
Huanhuan looked around and felt that this place looked familiar.
âI think Iâve been here beforeâ¦â
Bai Di was surprised. âWhen did you come here? Who were you with?â
âNot long ago. At that time, Sang Ye and I⦠Yes, Sang Ye brought me here!â
Huanhuan suddenly remembered.
This place was very close to the lake filled with fireflies. The last time Sang Ye brought her to the lake, they had passed by here.
Huanhuan quickly ran in the direction of the lake.
Bai Di immediately ran after her and held her hand to stop her from falling.
Soon, they saw the lake hidden in the depths of the forest.
The lake was calm. It was daytime, so the fireflies werenât out. Sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming a thin golden veil on the lake.
The originally cold green lake water now looked a little warm.
Huanhuan stopped by the lake and looked around. She couldnât see Sang Ye at all.
She couldnât help but feel disappointed. âDidnât he come hereâ¦?â
But Bai Di said, âHeâs here.â
âHuh?â
âI smell him.â Bai Di lowered his head and looked at the lake at his feet. His voice suddenly became low and serious. âSang Ye, stop hiding. Come out and letâs talk!â
After a long silence, a black python slowly emerged from the bottom of the lake.
He stirred the lake, and the golden veil shattered into countless pieces.
Huanhuan looked at him in surprise. âSang Ye, youâre here!â
The python looked down at her, his black eyes cold. âHuanhuan, you shouldnât be here.â
âIâm worried about you. Will you come home with me?â
Faced with Huanhuanâs pleading, the python only said indifferently, âI want solitude.â
Huanhuan blurted out, âWhoâs solitude?â
The python was speechless.
Huanhuan coughed lightly. âNo matter whatâs on your mind, you can tell us. Weâre family. No matter what problems weâre facing, we should stick together and face the problems together!â
The python lowered his eyes. âI donât want to hurt you. You should go with Bai Di.â
He was about to sink to the bottom of the lake again when Huanhuan shouted, âDonât go!â
In her panic, she even forgot that there was a lake in front of her. She just ran toward Sang Ye.
In the end, she stepped into the lake and fell into it!
Bai Di quickly reached for her!
Sang Yeâs heart tightened. He swam over as fast as he could and caught Huanhuan with his snake tail.
Huanhuan was still in shock.
She couldnât swim. If she had fallen into the lake just now, she would choke on a few mouthfuls of cold water or worse, drown.
She hugged the snakeâs tail tightly while looking up at Sang Ye and shouting, âCome back with me!â
Sang Ye was silent. He was obviously unwilling to go with her.
Huanhuan said angrily, âIf you donât go back with me, Iâll jump into the lake and drown!â
Hearing her words, Sang Ye was shocked and quickly said, âDonât do anything stupid!â
âYou donât even want me anymore. I might as well die!â Huanhuan looked like she was about to jump into the lake at any moment.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although Sang Ye knew that she would definitely not drown with him around, he was still frightened. Afraid that she would accidentally fall into the lake, he shouted, âDonât move. Hold on to me!â
His snake tail wrapped tightly around her, preventing her from touching the water.
Bai Di, who was standing by the lake, saw this and tacitly retracted his hand. He didnât speak again and left the matter for Huanhuan to handle.
Huanhuanâs eyes turned red. âArenât you leaving? Then why do you care? My life has nothing to do with you. Let go of me!â
Seeing how upset she was, Sang Yeâs heart ached.
He said hoarsely, âDonât be stupid. Even without me, thereâs still Bai Di and Shuang Yun. Theyâll take good care of you.â
âTheyâre them, and youâre you! No one can take your place!â
She looked at Sang Ye stubbornly, which made his heart ache even more.
He was still making his last struggle. âIâm a monster. Iâll hurt youâ¦â
âYouâre not a monster! Youâre my mate, the person I like, and possibly the future father of my children! Youâre my family!!â
Sang Ye looked at Huanhuan in a daze. Her words were like a ray of sunlight that broke through the layers of dark clouds and chased away the cold darkness.
Huanhuan reached out to him, her red eyes filled with anticipation and focus.
âCome home with me!â
