When Beauty Meets Beasts

732 Prophecy (Part 2)

Huanhuan had never felt the cruelty of war so clearly.

She stood in the street and saw the demons destroy the city walls and rush into the city like a tide. The beast soldiers were covered in wounds as they pounced on the demons. The demons tore their skin and bit their necks.

Blood splattered, and a miserable scream echoed through the sky.

Lightning flashed, and Huanhuan found Bai Di in the midst of the war.

The white tiger in metal armor was already covered in blood. He kept fighting and biting. Amidst the lightning and thunder, countless demons died under his claws.

He continued until all the beast soldiers died.

He continued until the world turned from day to night and from night to day.

Exhausted, he finally couldn’t fight anymore.

The huge white tiger fell to the ground. His eyes looked in the direction of Rock City as if he was looking into the past.

In the forest, the stream was gurgling, and the sun was shining.

His heart pounded as he saw her for the first time. He couldn’t help but pull her into his arms.

“Remember, my name is Bai Di.”

The demons swarmed forward and completely drowned the white tiger in the blink of an eye.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll just get the witch doctor to take a look at you. Sick or not, you’re still my female. I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life.”

The white tiger struggled to get up and raised his head to roar one last time. “Ahhh!!”

“You’re my female. We’re family. Everything I have belongs to you. I can give you anything you want.”

Lightning exploded from his body with a loud bang!

In the blinding white light, Bai Di perished with the demons.

Huanhuan stood where she was with her eyes wide open. Tears had unknowingly wet her cheeks.

“No! Please don’t die!”

She stumbled over, trying to find Bai Di, but she was lost in the endless snow.

The scene around her changed again.

In front of her was the divine mountain of the City of 10,000 Beasts. Looking up, there were endless stairs.

She realized that she was lying on Sang Ye’s back.

Sang Ye stood in front of the stairs. He was covered in injuries, especially on his legs. Two deep gashes spread from his thighs to his calves, and blood kept flowing out.

But even so, he still carried Huanhuan steadily without wavering.

Huanhuan wanted to jump to the ground, but her body was out of her control. She lay motionless on Sang Ye’s back.

In front of the two of them stood many beasts.

But for some reason, Huanhuan couldn’t see the faces of the beasts clearly. She could only hear them talking.

“If you want to save her, carry her up the mountain yourself.”

That person’s tone was filled with malice.

Sang Ye said nothing and carried Huanhuan up the mountain.

This was the divine mountain of the City of 10,000 Beasts. There was a trace of power left behind by the beast god on the mountain, which was extremely harmful to the demons.

With every step Sang Ye took, the injuries on his body worsened.

Blood flowed out like water, leaving a meandering red trail behind him.

Huanhuan lay on his back, and she was trying to make him stop.

But she couldn’t make a sound.

She could only watch as he dragged himself up the stairs, covered in wounds.

The journey was especially long.

Halfway there, Sang Ye’s legs were already trembling, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

He looked sideways at Huanhuan and tried to smile. “Bear with it a little longer. We’ll be at the top of the mountain soon. They’ll save you then.”

Huanhuan shook her head vigorously. She would rather die than have Sang Ye save her in this way.

However, she couldn’t speak.

Sang Ye carried her forward.

He might have already known that his days were numbered, so he kept talking uncharacteristically as if he wanted to tell her everything he wanted to say for the rest of his life.

“My birth was a mistake. Everyone around me thought I was a monster, and I thought it was the end of my life. It wasn’t until I met you that I felt there was hope in life.

“If I had a choice, I’d just choose to be an ordinary beast. I can justifiably stay by your side and grow old with you like Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling.

“I’ve done too many wrong things in my life and killed too many people. I deserve all of this.

“But I don’t want you implicated. I want you alive.

“As long as you can live, it doesn’t matter even if I have to die.”

…

Sang Ye said as he walked.

Each step was heavier than the last.

He left footprints on the smooth floor.

...

When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, the stairs under his feet had cracked.

Even though he was in so much pain and his blood had drained, he couldn’t stop.

It was because he was carrying his entire world.

Sang Ye took the last step with difficulty. The moment his foot landed, he finally couldn’t hold on anymore.

With a plop, he knelt on one knee.

His knees were shattered.

With trembling hands, he lowered Huanhuan to the ground. He wanted to talk to her one last time.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

“I’m sorry, but this is all I can do with you…”

He closed his eyes before he could finish.

He maintained his kneeling posture and stopped breathing.

...

Huanhuan knelt on the ground and extended her trembling hands.

She knew she couldn’t touch him. Her fingers stopped an inch away from him. She traced and stroked the outline of his figure carefully.

A beast walked up the mountain and pushed Sang Ye’s corpse to the ground, trampling it ruthlessly.

Huanhuan heard them laughing.

“It turns out the legendary demon who killed countless people is only so-so!”

“Hang his corpse on the city wall later and show those demons what will happen to them in the future!”

“That’s a good idea! Hahahaha!”

…

Huanhuan wanted to stop them from dragging Sang Ye’s corpse away, but when she rushed over recklessly, she passed through their bodies.

She fell heavily to the ground.

When she looked up, she realized that everything in front of her had disappeared.

The divine mountain was gone, Sang Ye was gone, and so were the beasts…

Everything returned to darkness and turned to nothingness.

Huanhuan opened her eyes and took off her mask, revealing her tear-stained cheeks.

The prophet asked gently, “Did you see everything?”

Huanhuan threw herself into his arms and sobbed.

She couldn’t accept such a future!

Absolutely not!

The prophet patted her back gently to calm her down. “Whose future did you see?”

Huanhuan choked and said, “Shuang Yun’s, Xue Ling’s, Bai Di’s, and Sang Ye’s.”

With each name she read, she felt as if she was seeing them die all over again. Her heart ached.

The prophet asked, “Did they all die?” ????????n????e????????. ????oｍ

“Mhm.”

“What about you? Did you see your future?”

Huanhuan shook her head. “No.”

The last thing she saw was Sang Ye’s death.

“I only saw Sang Ye carrying me up the divine mountain. Later, when Sang Ye died, the image disappeared.”

The prophet looked thoughtful. “Have you ever seen your future before?”

“In the past, I saw myself being killed. After that, I was killed by Xuan Wei.”

“You should have died that time. I asked Little Brat to help you be reborn. Now that your future has been changed, you’ve become a variable.”

It was a variable that even the heavens could not predict.
