When Beauty Meets Beasts Novel - Chapter 517
517 Racial Discrimination!
The stall owner had probably never seen a beast who was as good at eating as Huanhuan. He couldn’t help but be stunned on the spot.
Huanhuan swallowed the wild fruit in her mouth and said to the stall owner, “I’ve already bitten open the fruit. Are these fruits mine, then?”
She gestured to all the wild fruits on the stall.
The stall owner wanted to cry.
!!
He had never seen a beast who could bite open such a wild fruit. That was why he dared to shout that it was the hardest fruit in the world. He just thought of it as a gimmick to sell his fruits. He didn’t expect someone to really bite open the wild fruit.
The stall owner wanted to go back on his word, but the high-level demon standing beside Huanhuan wasn’t to be trifled with.
Helpless, the stall owner could only pack all the wild fruits for Huanhuan with a bitter expression.
Huanhuan was very happy to have obtained so many wild fruits for nothing.
She carried the wild fruits on her shoulder and smiled. “Thank you, Boss!”
The stall owner was very depressed. He left silently without even saying goodbye.
The hooked-nosed beast couldn’t help but admire Huanhuan for getting so many wild fruits for free without spending a crystal coin. He suddenly asked, “There’s The King of Food Competition in the underground city today. Are you going to participate?”
Huanhuan’s interest was piqued. “The King of Food Competition? Be more specific.”
“It’s a competition held by Granny Ban Yue. The beasts who win can enter Granny Ban Yue’s treasure room and choose any treasure they want as their prize.”
Huanhuan had never heard of Granny Ban Yue.
The hook-nosed man had no choice but to explain Granny Ban Yue’s identity.
“She’s a high-level female demon. No one knows how strong she is. Everyone only knows that she likes to eat and is very rich. She has a treasure room that houses many strange things. There are rare treasures and junk that you won’t know what to do with. If you’re lucky enough to get rare treasures, you’ll be rich!”
Huanhuan stroked her chin. “That sounds interesting. Where’s the competition held?”
“It’s just ahead. I’ll take you there.”
Under the lead of the hooked-nosed beast, Huanhuan and Xing Chen quickly arrived at the venue of the competition.
Many beasts rushed over to participate in the competition after hearing the news. As the only ordinary beast, Huanhuan received the collective attention of many demon beasts as soon as she appeared.
With Xing Chen following behind her, no one dared to touch her. She swaggered through the crowd and walked to the registration point. She said to the beast in charge of registering the contestants, “I want to participate in the competition.”
The beast frowned and said, “You’re not a demon. You can’t participate in the competition.”
Huanhuan was very dissatisfied. “Why? You’re racist!”
“…”
Huanhuan insisted on signing up for the competition, but the beast was unwilling to help her register.
She turned around and shouted at Xing Chen, “Help me tell them that I want to participate in the competition!”
“Why participate in such a meaningless competition? Could it be that you’re really interested in those lousy things in the treasure room?” Xing Chen frowned slightly. He did not like lively environments like this.
“As long as I can participate in the competition, I can eat. I haven’t been full since I came back to life. It’s rare for a fool to be willing to provide food for free this time. Of course, I have to take the opportunity to eat my fill!” Huanhuan patted her stomach and smiled especially evilly.
Xing Chen was speechless.
The dragon race ate a lot. If she really ate until she was full, she would probably go bankrupt.
But so what? He just had to make Huanhuan happy.
Xing Chen said to the beast in charge of registering, “Let her participate in the competition.”
“But…”
“Don’t make me repeat myself.”
Sensing that Xing Chen was a little angry, the beast’s heart trembled. He was so frightened that he didn’t dare to speak again. He quickly added Huanhuan’s name to the list of participants.
Huanhuan placed the large bag of wild fruits on her back at Xing Chen’s feet. She instructed, “Look after these wild fruits. Don’t let anyone steal them. I’m going to participate in the competition. I’ll be back soon.”
Xing Chen looked at the bag of wild fruits in disdain.
No one would want such things even if they were left by the roadside.
However, since Huanhuan liked these fruits, he would reluctantly help her watch over them.
He said, “Come back quickly.”
Huanhuan ran to the competition venue excitedly.
There were more than 50 beasts in total. Without exception, they were all strong male beasts. Huanhuan stood among them and was immediately somewhat hidden by those muscular male beasts.
As the boss of the competition, Granny Ban Yue was invited to speak on stage.
She was already white-haired and holding a walking cane, but her skin was still very fair and she was quite fat. With every step she took, the flesh on her body would tremble slightly.
Although she was old, she looked very energetic. Her face was rosy, and her hair was white.
Under everyone’s gaze, Granny Ban Yue roughly explained the rules of the competition.
The rules were simple. It was a meat-eating competition. Whoever ate the most meat would win.
The beasts brought up the raw meat that they had prepared in advance. They cut it and placed it in front of the participants.
Granny Ban Yue announced that the competition had begun. The participants immediately grabbed the raw meat in front of them and began to wolf it down.
Huanhuan didn’t eat raw meat, but dragons liked to eat raw meat. She endured the bloody taste of raw meat and stuffed it into her mouth.
She didn’t eat very quickly. The two male beasts beside her had already eaten two large pieces of raw meat when she had just finished one piece.
The competition was in full swing.
When Granny Ban Yue’s gaze swept across the onlookers, she suddenly paused.
She saw Xing Chen.
Her eyes widened in extreme shock.
Ignoring the puzzled gazes of the surrounding people, Granny Ban Yue quickly walked down the stage and walked in front of Xing Chen. She knelt on the ground, and her voice trembled because she was too excited. “Father!”
The beasts beside were all shocked when they saw Granny Ban Yue’s actions.
Especially when they heard the words ‘Father’, their expressions changed.
Hence, another large group of beasts knelt down.
Xing Chen said leisurely, “Move aside. Don’t hinder me from watching the competition.”
The beasts moved aside in fear, not daring to disturb him.
Granny Ban Yue stood up and mustered her courage to ask carefully, “Father, why did you come to the underground city today?”
Xing Chen’s gaze was fixed on Huanhuan, who was competing on the stage. He casually replied, “I came with someone to buy some things.”
Granny Ban Yue followed his gaze and asked tentatively, “Do you know anyone among the participants?”
“Yes, I came with the black-haired beast.”
Granny Ban Yue immediately saw the inconspicuous ordinary beast among the many strong male demons. She couldn’t help but look surprised. “That’s an ordinary beast. Why did he sneak in here?”
Xing Chen said coldly, “I brought him here. Is there a problem?”
Granny Ban Yue broke out in a cold sweat. “No, no, of course, there’s no problem!”
