When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 483: An Old Acquaintance!

Xue Ling chuckled. “What a tempting offer.”

Wu Huo said, “Our Dark Moon City sincerely wants to form an alliance with your feather tribe. You can say whatever conditions you have. As long as we can do it, we’ll do our best.”

Xue Ling looked at him calmly. “Are you here to negotiate with me on behalf of Dark Moon City? Does your beast king know about this?”

“I’ll tell him when we’re done.”

Xue Ling smiled meaningfully. “You’re acting first and reporting later. It seems that you don’t take your beast king too seriously?”

Wu Huo scratched the civet’s chin and said casually, “This is a family matter of our Dark Moon City. Elder Xue Ling, you don’t have to worry about it.”

“I’m not worried. I’m just curious. Why don’t you gossip with me about the inside story of your Dark Moon City?”

“After the feather tribe has allied with Dark Moon City, I can tell you as much as you want.”

“Tsk, how cautious!” Xue Ling looked bored. “I can’t make the decision about the alliance. I have to go back and discuss it with Shen Yan before making a decision.”

Wu Huo glanced at him. “You’re an elder of the feather tribe. Be it strength or qualifications, you’re much stronger than Shen Yan. As long as you say the word, he’ll definitely listen to you.”

“Don’t use your Dark Moon City’s methods to speculate about our feather tribe. Shen Yan has always been the one making decisions regarding the feather tribe. I usually just help to plan. I can’t act first and report later.”

He said it cleverly. Wu Huo frowned slightly, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he advised him to eat more.

While Xue Ling ate, drank, and had fun, Huanhuan was brought to an underground cell by the beast soldiers.

Huanhuan looked at this small cell that was less than 10 square meters and frowned. “Is this the resting place you arranged for me?”

The beast soldier in charge of leading the way was very impatient. “You’re just an additional guard. It’s good enough that I’m giving you a place to rest. What right do you have to be picky?!”

Huanhuan was so angry that she laughed. “First, I repeat that I’m not a guard. Second, I can’t make do in such a small cell for the night, right?”

“This is the high priest’s arrangement. If he tells you to stay here, then stay here obediently. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!”

The beast soldier turned to leave and locked the cell door.

Huanhuan walked to the door and touched it.

The door was sturdy. It was made of planks on the outside and a thick layer of slabs on the inside.

It was very difficult for ordinary beasts to destroy it.

But Huanhuan was not an ordinary beast. She estimated that she could punch through the cell door.

After the banquet ended, Xue Ling was brought to a spacious bedroom.

The divine servant said respectfully, “This is where you can rest. If you’re dissatisfied with anything, you can tell us. We’ll do our best to satisfy any of your needs.”

Xue Ling looked around. “Where’s the beast I came with?”

“He’s in another room.”

“Which room? Show me.”

The divine servant looked troubled. “I’m sorry, I don’t know either. If you want to know, you have to ask the high priest.”

Xue Ling stared at his face. “Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”

“I really don’t know.”

Xue Ling said, “I want to see Wu Huo.”

“Please wait a moment. I’ll report it now.” The divine servant quickly left the guest room.

Before long, Hei Yao arrived.

Xue Ling said, “I want to see Wu Huo. Why are you here?”

Hei Yao walked lightly like a cat, its thin and long tail swaying gently behind it. “Wu Huo is already asleep. You can look for me if you need anything.”

“I want to see my friend.”

“I’m afraid that won’t do.”

Xue Ling frowned. “Why?”

Hei Yao said slowly, “We’ve arranged a very good place for him to stay. It’s not convenient for him to see anyone for the time being. If you insist on seeing him, you can only wait until the day the feather tribe forms an alliance with Dark Moon City.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“No, we’re just discussing it with you. If you can accept it, we’ll continue. If you can’t, you might never see your friend again.”

Xue Ling laughed in anger. “Very well.”

“What about it? Elder Xue Ling, are you willing to accept our offer?”

“I need time to think about it.”

“Sure. Take your time. We have lots of time.” Hei Yao walked around the guest room, then walked to the door. “Have a good dream tonight.”

Xue Ling was alone in the room. He was not sleepy at all.

Previously, he was still wondering why the high priest of the Dark Moon Temple suddenly invited him over as a guest. After the banquet just now, Xue Ling realized that Dark Moon City wanted to form an alliance with the feather tribe.

The birds were very good at fighting in the air. Their only weakness was that they had fewer people, but this was an advantage for Dark Moon City.

It was easier to control if there were fewer people.

Moreover, the feather tribe had a powerful elder like Xue Ling. If they could ally with the feather tribe, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Wu Huo had a good plan.

But Xue Ling had no intention of letting him have his way.

Not to mention the old grudges between the feather tribe and Dark Moon City, just the fact that they actually dared to take Huanhuan as a hostage was intolerable to Xue Ling!

In the dead of night, Xue Ling quietly left the guest room. He was prepared to meet Wu Huo in the night and interrogate him about where he had locked Huanhuan up.

Xue Ling walked silently in the night.

The temple was huge. It was not easy to find the room where Wu Huo stayed.

It took him a lot of effort to go through the rooms one by one.

As he passed the corner, Xue Ling suddenly sensed someone approaching!

His hands turned into sharp claws that grabbed at the other party’s neck!

The other party pounced at him at the same time!

In a flash, the two of them had already exchanged several moves.

Every move was extremely ferocious.

But soon, the two of them stopped attacking at the same time and looked surprised.

It was dark, but it was nothing to beasts with strong night vision. Their gazes pierced the night, and they saw each other’s faces clearly.

It was an old acquaintance!

They were both very surprised, but they quickly calmed down.

Xue Ling frowned at him. “Bai Di, why are you here?!”

Bai Di lowered his voice. “I chased Xuan Wei here. Why are you here?”

“Huanhuan has been captured by them. I’m going to look for Wu Huo and interrogate him about her whereabouts.”

Bai Di was stunned. “Huanhuan?”

Wasn’t Huanhuan already dead? Why was she captured?!

He couldn’t understand what Xue Ling was saying.

Xue Ling said, “It’s a long story. This isn’t the place to talk. I have to find Wu Huo as soon as possible and save Huanhuan. When everything is done, we’ll find a place to have a good chat.”

Bai Di said, “I know where Wu Huo stays. I’ll take you there.”

Xue Ling, who was worried about not being able to find Huanhuan, was immediately happy when he heard this.

Bai Di led the way.

He looked familiar with this place and quickly led Xue Ling to Wu Huo’s bedroom.

But when they knocked the guards out and broke in, they realized that the bedroom was empty!
