When Beauty Meets Beasts Novel - Chapter 670

670 Greed

Shuang Yin was still thinking about how to explain Huanhuan’s return when Xue Hui saw Huanhuan’s face.

In that case, Shuang Yin might as well explain everything in the most direct way.

“Mom isn’t dead. She’s back.”

Xue Hui stood up and stared at the female in front of her with wide eyes. “Are you really Huanhuan?” she asked in disbelief.

!!
There were only five of them in the room now. They were all on the same side, so there was no need to worry too much. Hence, Huanhuan slowly took off her veiled hat, revealing her full face.

She smiled. “It’s me.”

Her snow-white skin made her look like she was covered in a gentle white light. Her facial features were exquisite and perfect. Even Xue Hui, who was also a female, had to admit that she was beautiful.

Xue Hui looked at her for a long time and said in a daze, “After more than ten years, you still look the same. You haven’t changed at all.”

Even the ruthless years could not leave a mark on her face.

She was so beautiful that it made one jealous.

As Xue Hui sized Huanhuan up, Huanhuan was also sizing her up.

Xue Hui was a rare beauty to begin with. Now that time had added a lot of maturity and charm, she was like a ripe peach that emitted a tempting sweet fragrance.

Huanhuan smiled and said, “You’ve become prettier than before.”

Xue Hui casually pulled the straps up and laughed at herself. “No… No female can be called beautiful in front of you.”

Before Huanhuan could speak, Xue Hui quickly asked, “Didn’t they say you were dead? Why are you…”

The process was too complicated and strange. Some of the details could not be told to outsiders, so Huanhuan lied.

“I was never actually dead. I was unconscious all these years. When I woke up, I was sent to the dawn continent through many coincidences. Later, Bai Di and the others found me, so our family finally reunited.”

Xue Hui’s voice was a little illusory. “I see…”

“How have you been all these years?”

“I’ve been alright.” Xue Hui’s mood seemed to be a mess. She had wanted to find an outer shirt to wear, but she ended up taking out a dress. She had to stuff the dress back in. Her willowy eyebrows furrowed. “Go sit in the reception room for a while. I’ll look for you after I change.”

The sudden appearance of a person who should be dead must have given her quite a shock. It would take some time for her to accept it.

Huanhuan replied, “Yeah.”

She and Shuang Yin left the bedroom.

The door closed, and the footsteps outside faded.

Xue Hui finally couldn’t control her anxiety. She grabbed a pillow and threw it against the wall!

‘What do you mean you’re back?!

‘Why do you have to snatch everything I have now?!’

Xue Hui’s eyes were red, and her hair was disheveled. Her expression was ferocious.

But soon, she came back to her senses and raised her hand to slap herself.

These things were Huanhuan’s to begin with!

‘I was just temporarily watching over them for her. Now that she’s back, it’s only right that I return everything to her!’

Moreover, Huanhuan had the Divine Wood seed.

She was chosen by the Divine Wood.

Xue Hui repeated these words many times in her heart.

After a while, she gradually calmed down. The ferocious look on her face gradually faded, and her beautiful face turned pale.

She stood up and walked to the mirror. It was a mirror polished from black crystal. The mirror was not big enough to reflect her entire face.

Xue Hui looked at herself in the mirror and silently admonished herself.

‘Don’t be greedy.

‘None of this is yours. Even if you force it, you can’t have it.

‘Because the Divine Wood didn’t choose you.’

…

The furnishings in the reception room were relatively simple. There was a long table and a few stools. There were also some flowers and plants for decoration.

Eggy bounced on the table like a bright yellow pinball.

When Xue Hui pushed open the door and walked in, Eggy immediately stopped playing and crawled into her mother’s arms.

Although Eggy was fast, Xue Hui noticed her presence and asked with a smile, “Is that bird your youngest child?”

“Yes, she’s my daughter with Xue Ling. Her name is Eggy.” Huanhuan placed Eggy on the table, indicating that she should greet Xue Hui.

Eggy twisted her round body and called out to her unwillingly.

Xue Hui didn’t seem to notice Eggy’s rejection of her. She smiled and said, “This child is so cute. She’ll definitely be a beauty when she grows up.”

Eggy turned around and went into her mother’s arms again. This time, she refused to come out again.

Huanhuan had no choice but to smile apologetically at Xue Hui. “This child is a little shy.”

“It’s okay. It’ll get better after we meet a few more times and get to know each other.” Xue Hui’s gaze swept over Huanhuan. “I really envy you. Not only do you have a beautiful face, but you also have so many obedient and sensible children. Unlike me, I haven’t given birth yet.”

The reproduction ability of the Divine Wood clan was very weak to begin with. Coupled with the fact that they had lost the protection of the Divine Wood, the entire Divine Wood clan had almost been sterilized.

When Divine Wood City was destroyed, Qian Ye was the only child left in the Divine Wood clan.q

Now that Qian Ye was an adult, there were no more children in the entire Divine Wood clan.

All these years, Xue Hui had tried everything but couldn’t get pregnant.

She saw Eggy in Huanhuan’s arms and couldn’t help but envy her.

Xue Hui thought of something and suddenly asked, “I heard that you gave the feather tribe a prescription in the past and helped them treat their infertility. Can you help our Divine Wood clan think of a way?”

Huanhuan said cautiously, “The situation of the feather tribe is different from that of your Divine Wood clan. I need to consider it carefully. Perhaps it can be treated, but maybe it can’t. It’s hard to say.”

Xue Hui was excited. “It’s fine as long as there’s hope! I’ll leave everything to you!”

She dreamed of having children of her own now.

As long as Huanhuan could help her fulfill this wish, she would do anything!

Huanhuan waved her hand. “I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you. Thank you so much!”

Seeing how happy Xue Hui was, Huanhuan couldn’t help but remind her, “This matter might not be successful. You’d better not have too much hope, or you’ll only be more disappointed.”

Xue Hui calmed down a little, but she still said, “I believe you. With your medical skills, you might be able to help us increase our birth rates!”

Huanhuan had a headache. “I can only promise to try. I can’t promise it’ll be a success.”

Xue Hui wanted to say something else, but Shuang Yin interrupted her.

“Since my mom has already promised you, she’ll definitely do my best. But if she doesn’t succeed, I hope you won’t hate her in the future.”

Shuang Yin had been in the military camp for almost all these years. It was inevitable that she had developed the habit of keeping order. She spoke and did things with the aura of a superior, making it impossible to refute her.
