Huanhuan did not stop the second elder.
The second elder left with the third elder.
Before leaving, the second elder specially left ten followers to wait for Huanhuan and the others.
This small inn was set in the inner city. According to the rules, the beast soldiers Shuang Yun had brought from Rock City could not be brought into the inner city. They could only be left in the outer city.
!!
Shuang Yun personally went to find them a place to rest.
Bai Di went to make dinner while Sang Ye cleaned up the house. Xue Ling ran out and wandered around, saying that he wanted to observe the terrain and gather information.
Huanhuan was the most bored out of all of them. She sat under the big tree in the courtyard with Eggy and Clement, resting.
“Shhh!”
Huanhuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a wretched figure squatting on the wall. She immediately said to Eggy, “Go get them!”
Eggy flapped her wings and grabbed at the person on the wall.
His sharp little claws flickered with a cold light.
“Hey, hey! It’s me!”
It was Shuang Jing’s voice.
Huanhuan stopped Eggy and looked at the person on the wall. “Didn’t you return to the 10,000 Beast Temple? Why are you here?”
Shuang Jing jumped gently and landed steadily on the ground without making a sound.
He first looked around and realized that there were two servants not far away. He immediately rushed over and knocked them out.
Huanhuan looked at the two servants lying motionless on the ground and said speechlessly, “If I didn’t know you, I would definitely have gotten someone to arrest you for murder.”
Shuang Jing wasn’t satisfied. “Hey, I just knocked them out. I didn’t kill them.”
“But if someone who doesn’t know better sees two motionless beasts lying in front of you, won’t they think you entered the house and killed them?”
Shuang Jing tsked. “Why would I kill them? They’re just two ants. I don’t think it’ll take much effort to kill them.”
Eggy flew back to Huanhuan’s side and looked the male beast up and down, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Clement slithered out of his mother’s sleeve and flicked his snake tongue at Shuang Jing.
It had been a long time since he last saw this disgusting piece of meat~
As soon as Shuang Jing saw Clement, he remembered his ferocious appearance when he transformed into the heaven-devouring python. He involuntarily took two steps to the side to keep a safe distance from him.
“I’m here for two things.”
Huanhuan asked, “What is it? Are you here to ask me for sunflower seeds?”
“No, I was commissioned by Jian Yi to ask you why you refused to go to the 10,000 Beast Temple with him.”
Instead of answering, Huanhuan asked, “Why didn’t he ask me himself?”
“The elders are everywhere. It’s not convenient for him to be here.”
Huanhuan said slowly, “It’s not easy for me to come to the City of 10,000 Beasts. I have to have enough fun before going to the 10,000 Beast Temple, right?”
Shuang Jing: “You can go to the 10,000 Beast Temple and play there.”
“There’s only one way up the mountain to the 10,000 Beast Temple. It’s not like you don’t know how long that path is. If I go up, it won’t be so easy to come down again.”
“You can have your mate carry you down the mountain.”
“How troublesome would that be? They’re my mates, not my coachmen. My heart aches for them.”
Shuang Jing realized that no matter what he said, she would be able to find a reason to argue back.
In the end, he could only stop lobbying. “Alright, you can stay wherever you want. I can’t control you.”
Huanhuan asked with interest, “Then what’s the second thing you wanted to say to me?”
He leaned in front of her and extended his hands. “Give me some sunflower seeds to eat.”
The corners of Huanhuan’s mouth twitched. “I asked you if you wanted sunflower seeds, but you said no.”
“The first matter I wanted to speak to you about is indeed not about sunflower seeds. That’s the second matter.”
“…”
Huanhuan was impressed.
She grabbed two large handfuls of stir-fried sunflower seeds for him. “Take them and eat them slowly.”
“Thank you!”
Shuang Jing squatted at the side with sunflower seeds in his arms and ate them with relish.
Huanhuan looked at him. “Why aren’t you going back?”
“I’ll go back after dinner.”
“Are you still planning to stay here for dinner?”
“That’s right,” Shuang Jing replied quite naturally. “Bai Di’s cooking is so good that no one in the entire City of 10,000 Beasts can compare to him. Of course, I have to stay for dinner.”
Huanhuan was shocked speechless by his shamelessness.
By the time Bai Di finished cooking dinner, Xue Ling and Shuang Yun had returned.
After washing their hands, they sat at the table filled with delicacies and prepared to eat.
Huanhuan looked at them and asked sincerely, “Did you come back at this time just for dinner?”
Xue Ling said yes.
“…”
Here were two more gluttons.
Bai Di had made several yummy dishes tonight, and no one could stop eating.
The table of food was swept clean by the few of them. They did not leave any scraps behind.
Shuang Jing wiped his mouth reluctantly. “Do you have a spare room here?”
Huanhuan was very vigilant. “No!”
Shuang Jing was disappointed and muttered softly, “That’s a pity. I won’t be able to freeload breakfast tomorrow.”
Huanhuan rolled her eyes at him rudely.
Bai Di asked Xue Ling what he had found out outside.
Xue Ling said, “Not long after the prophet left Rock City, the news spread throughout the city. Almost everyone knows that the prophet is not in the 10,000 Beast Temple.”
Shuang Jing leaned lazily in his chair. “I just asked Jian Yi about this. He said that he tried his best to stop it at that time, but in the end, he couldn’t stop the news from leaking. The news spread throughout the entire City of 10,000 Beasts overnight.”
Bai Di pondered. “If the news spread throughout the entire City of 10,000 Beasts overnight, someone must have added fuel to the fire?”
Shuang Yun asked, “Is it the Elders’ Association?”
Bai Di said it wouldn’t be them.
Huanhuan was puzzled. “Why?”
“If the prophet isn’t in the 10,000 Beast Temple, the Elders’ Association will definitely be the first to think of a way to take over the 10,000 Beast Temple and gather all the power in the temple into their own hands. But the news has leaked, and everyone knows about this. How can the Elders’ Association take action now?”
Huanhuan and Shuang Yun understood. That was indeed the case.
What Xue Ling said next confirmed Bai Di’s guess.
“The prophet left the 10,000 Beast Temple, and his whereabouts are unknown. Many forces in the City of 10,000 Beasts are beginning to stir. The Elders’ Association wanted to strike first, but as soon as they attacked, they were jointly suppressed by many other forces.”
Shuang Jing continued, “Although the Elders’ Association is powerful, they couldn’t withstand such a large group. In the end, they were suppressed until they couldn’t raise their heads. Helpless, they could only send people to Rock City to invite Lady Huanhuan to help.”
Huanhuan smiled. “I see!”
She had been wondering why the Elders’ Association would invite her to the City of 10,000 Beasts for no reason.
It turned out they wanted to use her as a shield!
In order to make her obedient, the first elder had specially gotten a rare puppet worm. He had really invested a lot!
Speaking of puppet worms, Huanhuan thought of the second elder.
“Guess how the second elder is doing now?”
Xue Ling smiled faintly. “You deliberately made Big White and Little White go to Sun City to spread the news that the second elder is about to become the high priest. Now, everyone knows that the second elder is one of your people.”
