Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bai Di thought for a long time before accepting Shuang Yun’s and Xue Ling’s suggestion.

They did not take a detour and walked through the Red Crystal City openly.

The mushroom soup was ready. Huanhuan called the beasts over and had them drink the soup.

There was not much soup. Everyone could only take a few sips, but it felt good to be able to drink a few mouthfuls of hot soup on a cold night.

Bai Di said to Shuang Yun, “I’ll be on duty tonight. Go to sleep.”

Shuang Yun puffed out his chest, indicating that he was strong. It didn’t matter if he continued to be on night duty.

Bai Di said, “Alright, stop pretending. If you don’t go to sleep, Huanhuan will be kidnapped by Xue Ling tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Shuang Yun quickly said, “Huanhuan is mine! Don’t even think about kidnapping her!”

He scurried off to find Huanhuan. Bai Di smiled helplessly and found a higher spot to keep watch.

When Shuang Yun found Huanhuan, he saw her being pressed against a tree by Xue Ling.

He rushed over and pulled Xue Ling away.

When Xue Ling saw him, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “Aren’t you on night duty? Why did you come here and disturb us?!”

“Bai Di is on duty tonight,” Shuang Yun said as he pulled Huanhuan into his arms. “Huanhuan will sleep with me tonight. Stay away from her.”

Xue Ling sneered. “Huanhuan has already promised me that she’ll sleep with me tonight.”

Shuang Yun knew the personality of the bird man in front of him too well. He immediately said, “She must have been bullied by you until she had no choice but to agree.”

“What makes you say that?”

“Because of the things you’ve done in the past.”

“What have I done before?”

“You’ve bullied Huanhuan more than once in the past.”

…

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel over a small matter like sleeping arrangements, Huanhuan quickly interrupted their argument.

She said, “I already promised Xue Ling I’d sleep with him tonight.”

Xue Ling smiled in satisfaction. “See? I told you Huanhuan has promised me. You’re too late.”

Shuang Yun was indignant. “Huanhuan…”

Huanhuan hugged him and whispered to him, “I’ll sleep with you tomorrow night. I’ll let Xue Ling be on night duty. How about that?”

Shuang Yun looked down at her smile, and his heart softened. He had no choice but to compromise. “Alright.”

Huanhuan jumped up and hugged his neck.

Shuang Yun supported her butt.

She leaned forward and nibbled his face. “You’re so kind!”

Shuang Yun enjoyed the little female throwing herself at him. “You have to remember what you just said.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget.”

After comforting Shuang Yun, Huanhuan was slowly led away by Xue Ling.

Xue Ling carried her to the nearest tree. He wrapped her in his arms and looked down at her smooth and delicate face. He asked in a low voice, “What did you say to Shuang Yun just now?”

Huanhuan blinked innocently. “I didn’t say anything.”

Xue Ling tickled her waist. “You’re not gonna tell me the truth, huh?!”

Her waist was a sensitive part of Huanhuan’s body, and it tickled when he touched it. She quickly dodged to the side, but Xue Ling was hugging her tightly. She couldn’t avoid him at all. Moreover, she was up on a tree. She didn’t dare move rashly as she was afraid that she would fall.

She could only smile and say, “I-I didn’t say anything. Stop tickling me.”

Xue Ling tickled her a few more times, but she still refused to tell the truth.

His hand circled her waist and found her navel.

When his fingers touched the flower, Huanhuan felt her soul tremble with it. She grabbed his wrist in a panic. “Don’t touch there. Please!”

Xue Ling smiled evilly. “Tell me the truth and I won’t touch it.”

Huanhuan was forced into a corner by him. Her eyes turned red, and she started crying.

“You’re bullying me! Boo-hoo!”

As soon as he saw her cry, Xue Ling panicked. He quickly let go of the flower on her belly button and wiped her tears. “I haven’t done anything to you yet. Why are you crying? Stop crying.”

Huanhuan cried and complained, “You always bully me like this. You’re too bad!”

“Yes, yes. I’m the big bad guy. It’s all my fault. Hit me. It doesn’t matter how you want to hit me, but stop crying.”

His heart clenched at the sight of her crying and blushing.

Huanhuan turned her head away. “I won’t hit you. You’re so thick-skinned. It won’t hurt.”

Xue Ling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Then hit me elsewhere? How about hitting my palm?”

He reached over and put his hand in front of her as he spoke.

Huanhuan hit his palm. “You’re annoying.”

Xue Ling took the opportunity to hug her tighter. “Alright, you’ve hit me. Stop crying.”

Huanhuan looked at him with tears in her eyes. “You can’t bully me again.”

“Okay, okay. Whatever you say. I’ll listen to you.”

Huanhuan snorted. “You always admit your mistake with a good attitude, but you never repent.”

Xue Ling lowered his head and licked the tears from the corners of her eyes. He whispered, “It’s getting late. Go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow morning.”

Huanhuan cried just now to distract him from playing with the flower on her stomach.

Now that she had achieved her goal, she quit while she was ahead. She leaned against his chest and closed her eyes. She fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, when the sun came out, the Moonlight Mushrooms returned to their green crystal bead.

The beasts woke up, hurriedly ate breakfast, and continued on their way.

Three days later, they saw the gates of Red Crystal City.

There were guards guarding the door.

In order to be open and righteous about it, Shuang Yun and Xue Ling deliberately made Bai Di show his royal status when they entered the city. They said in a loud voice that he was the second prince of Sun City.

It attracted the attention of many beasts around.

When the city guards saw that it was the second prince of the Sun City, they did not dare to be negligent. They quickly turned around and respectfully allowed their group to enter the city.

Huanhuan’s entire face was covered by a veil. Bai Di held her in his arms and she craned her neck to look around.

This place had not changed much since the last time she was here. Everything was the same.

They did not plan to stay here. They planned to pass through the Red Crystal City and continue to the City of 10,000 Beasts.

However, they met the city lord of the Red Crystal City on the way.

To be precise, the city lord was deliberately waiting for them on the way. When he saw them, he immediately went forward. “Second Prince, when I learned that you were here in the Red Crystal City, I specially came to see you. I ask you to come visit me in my residence.”

Bai Di was indifferent, and the aura of a leader of the royal family involuntarily emanated from him.

“We’re in a hurry. We won’t go to your residence today. Let’s talk about it another time.”

The city lord quickly said, “It’s just a short sit. I’ve already asked the chefs to prepare a lot of food. Please do me a favor, Your Highness.”

Bai Di glanced at him. “What if I don’t agree?”

The city lord was slightly stunned as he did not expect the other party to say such things in public. He was furious, but the smile on his face became even more obsequious.

“Since Your Highness is pressed for time, I naturally can’t delay your business. It’s fine if you don’t want to visit my residence. I’ll personally send you out of the city.”
