When Beauty Meets Beasts

621 You’re Finally Back

Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you willing to take us to Nether City?”

In everyone’s eyes, that place was a place of death. Once they entered, it meant that they would never return.

However, Luke was willing to lead the way himself. Huanhuan could not understand his actions.

Luke was silent for a long time.

When Huanhuan thought that he wouldn’t speak again, he suddenly said, “I have a relative who went to Nether City. I have to get her back.”

“But didn’t you say before that once you enter that place, you won’t be able to come out? Your family member might have—”

Luke clenched his fists and said word by word, “Even if she’s dead, I have to bring her bones back.”

Seeing him like this, Huanhuan stopped asking.

She carefully climbed off the stool. “Then rest well. I’ll see you another day.”

Huanhuan walked downstairs and saw Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling in the restaurant on the first floor.

Eggy crawled out of Xue Ling’s arms and flapped her small wings. She landed on Huanhuan’s head.

Huanhuan gradually got used to the weight on her head.

The sight of the little yellow chick on the little girl’s head was too cute. Many people in the restaurant looked at them with kind smiles.

Because Bai Di and Shuang Yun had contributed to the battle, they had upgraded from outsiders to combat companions. This greatly improved their treatment in Vanilla Bay.

Especially the owner of the restaurant. In order to thank Bai Di and Shuang Yun for saving his son, they didn’t have to spend any money in the restaurant. Everything was free!

Xue Ling picked Huanhuan up and placed her on his lap.

Bai Di placed the cut fruit pie in front of Huanhuan. “Are Luke’s injuries serious?”

“Fortunately, if nothing goes wrong, we should be able to set off for Nether City in three days.” Huanhuan grabbed the fruit pie and took a big bite.

Oh, it was delicious!

Seeing that she liked it, Bai Di fed her the rest of the fruit pie. Eggy ate a small piece too.

Eggy was very curious, especially about food. As long as it was something the adults liked to eat, she had to try it.

She was only half a month old now, but she was already more than twice as heavy as when she first hatched.

Huanhuan touched the fine furry feathers on her body. “If you get any fatter, you can’t sit on my head like this anymore.”

Eggy immediately raised her neck in protest. “Chirp chirp!”

When Doro learned that Huanhuan’s family was going to Nether City, she found Huanhuan and persuaded her to change her mind. Unfortunately, she failed.

Helpless, Doro could only give up dissuading her.

Three days later, Luke and Huanhuan’s family set off.

Doro and Luke’s father sent them out of Vanilla Bay. They repeatedly reminded the group to be careful and not to be rash. If they were in danger, they should come back quickly.

They rambled on for a long time until Luke reminded them that it was getting late. Doro and Luke’s father stopped and watched them go reluctantly.

It was a long way from Vanilla Bay to Nether City.

Huanhuan sat on the back of the Silvery Frost White Wolf. Eggy was sleeping on her head.

From time to time, Xue Ling would lean down and fly down to take a look at his wife and daughter. Seeing how obedient and quiet they were, he felt his heart warm.

They walked for about half a month.

Luke slid down the tree trunk to the ground and patted the leaves off his body. “Nether City is ahead. We should be able to reach it in half a day.”

Now that the sun had set and the sky was getting dark, they decided to rest where they were and recuperate before continuing tomorrow morning.

Xue Ling moved his fingers and lit a fire.

Eggy liked flames. She flew around the fire, then flew back to Huanhuan’s head and lowered her head to comb her yellow feathers.

Although she was young, she had learned the importance of looking beautiful.

It went without saying that she had inherited it from her smug father.

Shuang Yun and Bai Di went hunting nearby, looking for clean water.

Huanhuan sat by the fire to warm herself. She noticed that Luke was staring at the fire, looking as if something was on his mind.

She took the initiative to ask, “Are you worried about going to Nether City?”

Luke glanced at her. “I’ve heard a lot of legends about Nether City. Almost every legend emphasizes that it’s dangerous inside. You can forget about coming out if you go in.”

Huanhuan tilted her head and thought for a moment. “Since no one who went in came out again, it means that those legends aren’t reliable. No one has seen the scene in Nether City with their own eyes. Everyone is just guessing.”

“But the more no one knows about it, the more terrifying that place is.”

Huanhuan looked like she understood. “The unknown is the source of fear.”

If an adult said this, it would make sense. However, she was now a little girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old. When she said this, it inevitably sounded like a child forcefully pretending to be mature.

Luke couldn’t help but smile.

He was not a smiley person, but ever since he met Huanhuan, he had been smiling a lot more.

Seeing that he was laughing at her, Huanhuan snorted. “Don’t think I’m really a child. This is just the aftereffect of something I had. When I return to my original form, I’ll scare you to death!”

Hearing this, Xue Ling spoke faintly.

“Then quickly return to your original form.”

Her current appearance made it so that the three of them could only kiss and touch her every day. They did not dare to make any intimate movements, afraid that they would hurt her.

Huanhuan blushed as she understood what he meant. She felt embarrassed.

She counted the days on her fingers.

“Logically speaking, it’s been a month. I should be recovering soon…”

Bai Di and Shuang Yun returned with their prey.

Dinner was roasted meat and some fresh fruits.

Bai Di’s cooking was as good as ever. Huanhuan ate contentedly. At night, she snuggled into Xue Ling’s wings to sleep. Eggy was nestled in her arms as she slept.

When she was in a daze in the middle of the night, Huanhuan suddenly felt that her body had become very hot, especially her limbs. She felt as if she was being pulled hard. It was very uncomfortable and even a little painful.

She opened her eyes and woke up from her sleep.

At this moment, Eggy and Xue Ling were already awake.

Both father and daughter stared at her.

Especially Xue Ling. His eyes glowed in the night.

“Huanhuan, you’ve finally grown up.”

Huanhuan looked down and realized that she had indeed returned to her original appearance. The dress was so short that it could not even cover her butt, revealing her slender and straight white legs. Her body had stretched the dress tightly, making her look plump and juicy.

This scene was too tempting!

Xue Ling felt his nose heat up.

The corners of Huanhuan’s mouth twitched. “Your nose is bleeding.”
