When Beauty Meets Beasts

511 Your Hands Are Dirty

Huanhuan put down the dragon spear and pointed at her nose. She asked in disbelief, “You want me to kiss and hug you while being coy?”

Xing Chen asked, “Can’t you do that with me?”

Huanhuan rolled up her sleeves, revealing her strong arms. “Are you sure you want me to be coy with this strong body?”

Xing Chen saw the muscles in her arms and fell silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief. “See, you can’t take it either, right? So you should change your suggestion. Let’s not play such a frightening game. Let’s do something refreshing.”

“Such as?”

“For example, give me back my body and I’ll apologize to you after I return to my original form.”

Xing Chen sneered. “In your dreams.”

“Don’t you want to see me like that?”

“No matter how cute you are, you’ll only be coquettish with others. You won’t do it with me.”

Huanhuan immediately raised her hand and swore, “I’ll definitely be coquettish with you!”

Xing Chen was unmoved. “You’ve lied to me too many times. What you say is no longer reliable.”

Huanhuan muttered, “How many times has it been? It was clearly only once. Besides, you even pretended to be blind to fool me before. We’re even.”

“Since we’re even, we’ll go our separate ways. Leave me alone.”

Xing Chen turned and walked away.

Huanhuan quickly chased after him and grabbed his wrist. “Give me back my body before you leave.”

Xing Chen looked down at his wrist where she was grabbing him. His amber eyes gradually darkened. “Let go.”

“I’m not letting go until you give me back my body.”

Xing Chen’s tone was dangerous. “Are you threatening me?”

“I just want my own things back.”

Xing Chen stared at her face for a moment before suddenly smiling. “Since you want to take it, come with me yourself.”

His smile was like a poppy flower blooming, cold and dangerous.

Huanhuan agreed without hesitation. “Okay!”

Xing Chen walked into the big jellyfish’s body, and Huanhuan followed closely behind. She knew that after entering, she would be in the Sea of Illusions. She also understood that it would be difficult to leave once she reached the Sea of Illusions.

This action was really risky.

However, Huanhuan still stepped in without hesitation.

At this point, she had no way out.

The big jellyfish seemed a little afraid of her. When she touched its body, it shook involuntarily, and its tentacles tensed.

Its body was like a large ball of jelly as Huanhuan squeezed in until she was completely swallowed.

After she went in, the jellyfish finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Tao Wei got up and stood up. He wiped the water off his face and looked up at the jellyfish. He really couldn’t understand the relationship between Yu Tian and Father.

Sang Ye told the beasts to disperse and go back to do their own things.

Soon, all the beasts were gone, and the scene became empty.

Sang Ye stood by the lake and looked up at the big jellyfish above the lake. He seemed to want to see what was going on inside through the jellyfish. He wondered how Huanhuan was doing inside…

Tao Wei walked over and asked, “Where did Yu Tian come from? Why does he know Father?”

Sang Ye glanced sideways at him. “She’s my mate.”

“I know she’s your mate, but what’s between her and Father—”

Sang Ye remained indifferent. “You have to ask your Father about this. I don’t know.”

Tao Wei couldn’t get any useful information out of him, so he could only turn around and leave with a belly full of emotions.

Sang Ye was left standing alone by the lake, looking at the jellyfish without moving.

…

This was the third time Huanhuan had come to the Sea of Illusions.

She flapped her wings and flew around the sea before landing on the island.

The island was lush with verdant bamboo, peanuts, potatoes, and carrots.

There was a stone bed in the middle of the island. Huanhuan’s body, which she had been thinking about day and night, was placed on the stone bed.

Huanhuan strode over and looked down at her body.

It was a strange feeling. It was as if she were looking at her other self through a mirror.

As soon as Xing Chen entered the Sea of Illusions, he automatically returned to the body from his youth. He stood on the other side of the stone bed and saw that Huanhuan was about to reach out to touch her body. He immediately said, “Don’t touch her.”

Huanhuan paused. “Why?”

“Your hands are dirty.”

Huanhuan: “…”

‘I don’t even despise myself. Why do you despise me?!’

She pulled her hand back and wiped her hands on her shirt. “They’re clean now. I can touch the body now, right?”

Xing Chen frowned, his amber eyes filled with disdain. “Wash your hands.”

Huanhuan could only give in and go to the beach. She washed her hands with the cold seawater and ran back. After Xing Chen checked and determined that they were clean enough, she earned the chance to touch her own body.

It was ridiculous. She just wanted to touch her own body, but she had to get the permission of that brat first.

What was up with the logic?!

Huanhuan gently touched her body. First, her eyebrows, then the corners of her eyes, her cheeks, her chin…

Her body was cold to the touch, but it felt good. It was smooth and tender, like white tofu.

No wonder Bai Di and the others used to touch her face.

When she drew her fingers across her neck, Xing Chen stopped her.

“That’s enough.”

Huanhuan could only retract her hand and mutter softly, “What’s wrong with me touching myself? It’s not like I’ll hurt myself.”

Xing Chen ignored her.

He wiped her body with his fingers, wiping all the places she had just touched as if he were wiping away something dirty.

Huanhuan felt terrible.

She said angrily, “This is my body. What right do you have to despise me like this?!”

Without looking up, Xing Chen said, “It’s not you I despise. It’s your current body.”

“What’s wrong with my body? I’m not good-looking, but I’m handsome. Most importantly, I’m strong enough. What’s there to despise?”

Xing Chen lowered his head and carefully wiped Huanhuan’s body. “You’re an eyesore.”

Huanhuan rolled her eyes.

She stood at the side and watched for a while. She felt quite bored, so she went to pluck a carrot. After washing it, she stuffed it into her mouth and ate it.

The carrot was sweet, juicy, crisp, and refreshing. It was quite delicious.

She smiled and said, “You’re doing a good job with the carrots!”

Xing Chen glanced at her, his gaze secretive.

Huanhuan ate and walked around. She stopped in front of the small mountain of stone slabs and looked up at it.

She remembered that before she left last time, this place was flat. There was nothing here.

How did this small mountain appear?

Huanhuan casually pulled out a stone slab and realized that there was a portrait of her face on it.

Of course, it was her soft and cute face from before.

It was not her handsome face now.

Huanhuan picked up two more slabs and looked at them. There were portraits of her on each slab.

Every portrait was drawn very vividly. It was obvious that the artist had put in a lot of effort.
