When Beauty Meets Beasts

677 What Does It Have To Do With You?!

The future daughter-in-law those feather beasts were talking about was Eggy.

The reason started with the colorful feathers on Eggy’s body.

It was a custom of the feather tribe that if a male beast met a female he liked, he would give her his most beautiful feather. If the female accepted the feather, it meant that she had accepted the male beast’s pursuit.

If this were in the modern world, it would be another form of a proposal.

!!

Huanhuan remembered the colorful feathers on Eggy and felt her temples throbbing.

She didn’t have to ask to know that the feathers on her youngest daughter were probably given to her by the male hatchlings of the feather tribe.

In the beast world, underaged females could not mate, but they could be engaged. The feathers Eggy had accepted were her token of acceptance of the other party’s proposal.

It had to be said that Eggy had really caused a huge problem this time.

It took Huanhuan a lot of effort to persuade the parents, who were eager to see their future daughter-in-law, to go back.

After closing the door, Huanhuan casually grabbed a feather duster hanging on the wall and shouted angrily, “Eggy!”

Eggy had no idea that she was about to face a calamity. She flapped her wings and flew over. The colorful feathers on her body fluttered. She felt that she was really beautiful~

“What’s wrong, Mom?”

Huanhuan tapped the table with the feather duster and frowned. “How did you get the feathers on your body?”

Startled by her actions, Eggy subconsciously dodged back. “They’re gifts from my friends from the feather tribe,” she said in confusion. “I thought they were beautiful, so I accepted them.”

Huanhuan was furious with her. “I told you before not to accept things from others. Don’t you remember?”

“I do…”

“Then why did you still do it?!”

Eggy felt wronged, and the feather on the top of her head drooped. “But these feathers are beautiful…”

“No matter how beautiful they are, they belong to someone else. Why did you go and accept them?”

Eggy felt even worse after being scolded. ????????????re????d. ????????????

She had been pampered by her parents since she was young. How could she stand such a reprimand? Her temper immediately flared. She stiffened her neck and defended herself. “They’re my good friends, and they voluntarily gave me the feathers. Our relationship has nothing to do with you!”

“You!” Huanhuan was furious.

Not only was this girl unrepentant, but she also dared to contradict her mother!

Huanhuan raised the feather duster in her hand and wanted to hit her.

But in the end, she couldn’t bear to hit her youngest daughter. She just hit the table angrily.

As she used too much strength, Huanhuan’s thumb and index finger were a little numb.

Eggy dodged back in fear, her eyes filled with panic.

Seeing her like this, Huanhuan’s heart softened. After all, she was still a child who didn’t know anything.

She still needed to educate Eggy.

“Do you know that in the customs of the feather tribe, when those of the opposite sex give you a feather, it means that they’re in love with you? If you accept the feathers they give you, it means that you have to become mates with them when you reach adulthood. No matter how much you like these feathers, you have to return them immediately!”

Eggy stared at the feather duster in her mother’s hand. After what she had just done, she knew that her mother wanted to hit her with the feather duster. This made her especially angry and aggrieved.

Hearing her mother’s order, Eggy said angrily with tears in her eyes, “I’m not returning them! These feathers are mine. They’re mine. I won’t give them to anyone!”

“If you don’t return the feathers, you can forget about eating tonight!”

“So be it!”

“If you have the ability, don’t eat from now on!”

Ever since Eggy was born, her mother had never been fierce to her. She couldn’t help but cry. “Mom, you’re so fierce to me! Boo-hoo! You don’t like me anymore, so I don’t like you anymore!”

With that, she flapped her wings and flew away while crying.

Huanhuan looked up and saw her fly into the small attic above.

Yun Hui stuck his head out of the second floor. “Did you argue with Eggy?”

Huanhuan threw away the feather duster and raised her hand to pinch her throbbing temples. “It’s fine. The little girl is throwing a tantrum. Just leave her alone for a while.”

Yun Hui’s eyes were filled with worry. “Are you unwell?”

“I’m a little angry with that girl.”

Yun Hui came downstairs and reached out to help her. “Sit down and rest for a while.”

When Shuang Yin returned home, she realized that the atmosphere was strange, especially when she didn’t see Eggy at the dining table. She couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Eggy?”

Eggy loved to eat. Usually, as soon as dinner started, she would fly to the table no matter where she was.

It was abnormal that she didn’t appear tonight.

Huanhuan said angrily, “Ignore her.”

Shuang Yin turned to look at Yun Hui and asked softly, “What happened?”

Yun Hui first glanced at Huanhuan. Seeing that she had no intention of stopping him, he said seriously, “Eggy quarreled with Huanhuan and threw a tantrum. She refuses to eat.”

Shuang Yin advised, “Mom, Eggy is still young. Don’t lower yourself to her level.”

Actually, now that some time had passed, Huanhuan’s anger had dissipated a lot.

She was just a little embarrassed now.

Hearing her eldest daughter’s words, Huanhuan snorted. “You don’t know what she did. She received more than 20 feathers from others at such a young age. All those parents came to our door and clamored to see her, their future daughter-in-law. I reprimanded her, but she actually talked back!”

Shuang Yin wanted to laugh, but she suppressed it. “Eggy is indeed too naughty. How could she accept those tokens that represent the other party’s love?”

...

Huanhuan nodded vigorously. “That’s right!”

“I’ll help you talk to her later and tell her not to accept gifts again.”

“You have to explain to her what’s at stake. Don’t let her be stupid again. What if she’s deceived in the future? She’s still so young. She can’t be deceived by those bad boys outside.”

Shuang Yin suppressed her laughter and nodded pretentiously. “Yes, I’ll remember.”

She thought to herself that the stupidest person in the family was probably her mother.

Their family was afraid that she would be deceived, so they always worked together to protect her.

Huanhuan was worried about her youngest daughter as she was not eating. The food Huanhuan ate was tasteless. She kept looking at Shuang Yin and wanted to say something but hesitated.

Shuang Yin understood what her mother wanted to say but deliberately pretended not to.

In the end, Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask her, “Aren’t you done eating?”

“Your cooking today is especially delicious. I want to eat more. What’s the matter, Mom?”

Huanhuan stammered, “It’s nothing special. It’s just… When you go to look for Eggy later, bring her some food. That girl is very greedy. She’ll definitely be hungry if she doesn’t eat all night.”

...

Shuang Yin finally couldn’t help but chuckle. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
