Even after Huanhuan took two steps, she still felt indignant.
She turned to look at Bai Luo and mustered her courage.
âI lost my parents when I was young, and I donât have any siblings by my side. The only relatives I have treat me as a disposable burden. When I was young, I dreamed of having a family. I didnât need to be too rich. I just needed to be like an ordinary person, but that could only be a dream for me.
âThe dream that I once couldnât get is a burden that you deeply detest. To put it bluntly, youâre just a useless pretentious bastard!
âSince you donât like Bai Di, thatâs good! Give him to me and Iâll live with him forever!
âAs for you, just die alone with your throne!â
With that, Huanhuan walked away without looking back.
She walked away aggressively. If she had the right cloak, she would immediately be able to cosplay as the Queen. However, as soon as she walked out of the door, her aura instantly disappeared. She leaned against the wall and panted.
She had never spoken like that before. She felt so afraid. What if Bai Luo suddenly exploded and killed her?!
Just thinking about it made her legs go weak and her vision spin.
...
Huanhuan didnât dare go too far, afraid that Bai Di wouldnât be able to find her.
She wrapped herself in her cloak, then crouched in the corner by the door. She wrapped her arms around her knees. The big hood covered half her face, leaving only her round chin exposed. She waited quietly for Bai Di to come to her.
Just then, Xue Ling landed in front of her.
Seeing her curled up in a pitiful ball, Xue Ling was both amused and heartbroken. He reached out and picked her up. âWerenât you quite capable just now? Why are you as weak as a chick in the blink of an eye?!â
Huanhuan was shocked by him and hurriedly struggled. âPut me down!â
âDonât move.â Xue Ling hugged her tighter. âMove again and Iâll kiss you.â
Huanhuan immediately stopped moving.
She knew very well that this old hooligan dared to do as he said. She did not want to be kissed by another person in the blink of an eye.
It felt terrible to be kissed by someone you didnât like!
The skullcap took the opportunity to crawl out of the hood and rub against the back of Xue Lingâs hand affectionately. âDad~â
Xue Lingâs gaze paused as if he was surprised. âWhy has Little Lotus grown up?â
Huanhuan asked, âIsnât it normal for it to grow up?â
âAfter the lotus sprouts, it can quickly enter the infancy period, but if it wants to enter the adolescence period, it needs a lot of nutrients.â
Huanhuan was confused. âWhat nutrients? Are you talking about water?â
âItâs not just water. Thereâs also life force.â Xue Ling paused. âI almost forgot. You have the Divine Wood seed in you. Divine Wood is the source of life force. Little Lotus must have absorbed its power.â
Huanhuan didnât understand.
Xue Ling spread his wings and carried her up.
After a while, she realized what was going on and was shocked. âHow did you know I have the Divine Wood seed?!â
Xue Ling said indifferently, âYou have the aura of Divine Wood on you. Although itâs very faint, I can still smell it if I get close.â
Huanhuan immediately became nervous. She did not expect the Divine Wood seed to be so easily discovered. She had to be careful in the future!
As if sensing her worry, Xue Ling spoke again, âYou donât have to be too nervous. Few beasts in this world know what the smell of the Divine Wood seed is like. Even if they smell it, they wonât know what it is.â
Huanhuanâs nervousness eased a little.
She looked at Xue Ling suspiciously. âWhy do you know everything?â
Xue Ling laughed. âBecause Iâm old. Iâm knowledgeable.â
Huanhuan knew that he was mocking her for thinking he was old. She touched her nose resentfully, thinking that not only was this guy old, but he was also petty. He could remember a casual remark for many days.
She deliberately changed the subject. âWhere are you taking me?â
âTo take you to the person you want to see.â
Xue Ling led her to Bai Di.
At this moment, he had just walked out of the chamber of commerce with two unfamiliar male beasts behind him.
One of the male beasts said respectfully, âTake care, Second Prince. Weâll prepare the men now. Weâll gather outside the city later.â
Bai Di nodded. âYes. Iâll see you later.â
When he turned, he saw Huanhuan standing nearby, and Xue Ling behind her.
âWhy are you here?â Bai Di hurried over and picked her up. âDidnât I tell you to wait for me at the bamboo bearâs house?â
Huanhuan lowered her head, her hood covering most of her face.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and clung to his chest. âI miss you,â she said lovingly.
Theyâd only been apart for a moment, but the little female missed him. Bai Diâs heart melted.
Huanhuan asked, âCan we go now? I want to go home quickly.â
She had wanted to sell more vegetables and fruits to Ni Mei, but now, she just wanted to get out of here.
She really wanted to return to the rock mountain. She missed Shuang Yun and Sang Ye and the children.
Bai Di replied gently, âOkay, weâll go home now.â
The three of them left the inner city, but when they reached the first layer of the outer city, they were stopped by guards.
Bai Di frowned. âWhat do you want?â
Xiong Shu clenched his fist and pressed it against his chest. He bowed and said, âIâm very sorry. Without HIs Majestyâs permission, Your Highness and your mate canât leave Sun City.â
Xue Ling smiled, but there was no warmth in his eyes. âThe new king has just succeeded the throne, but heâs already planning to get rid of your own brother? You two are really brothers, huh?!â
Bai Di thought that sounded harsh. He looked back at Xue Ling. âLittle Luo isnât like that.â
âThen what do you think your brother should be like? Innocent and kind? Sunny and cheerful?â Xue Lingâs smile was filled with mockery. âIf heâs really as good as you think, why did he bully Huanhuan?!â
Bai Di was stunned. âHe bullied Huanhuan?â
Xue Ling glanced at the little female who was about to bury her head in her stomach and asked with a faint smile, âHuanhuan, why donât you dare raise your head and let your dear Bai Di see your mouth?â
Huanhuan was speechless. This bird man was really enjoying the show!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Di didnât care. He grabbed Huanhuanâs chin and forced her to look up.
Her swollen lips were bitten a little, making them look especially glaring in contrast to her fair skin.
Anyone with a brain could tell how the wound on her mouth came about.
Bai Diâs eyes darkened.
The blue sea in his eyes seemed to be brewing a storm.
He asked in a low voice, âDid he bite you?â
Huanhuan felt a little guilty under his gaze. âActually, it doesnât hurt very much. Iâll just apply some medicine laterâ¦â
âWhy didnât you tell me just now?â
Huanhuan didnât know how to answer.
She didnât want to tell Bai Di. She didnât want him to know Bai Luoâs true thoughts.
She didnât want him to feel bad.
