Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Fortunately, Huanhuan and the others left quickly. Later, they heard that the noble beasts smashed the audience seats angrily because they did not get to see Xue Ling continue to fight. The people in charge of the Bestial Battle Arena were angry too, but did not dare to say anything. They suffered heavy losses.

After Huanhuan and the others walked out of the Bestial Battle Arena, they encountered the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe.

The leader of the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe was shrouded in dark clouds. He looked at Shuang Yun gloomily and said, “Congratulations on your victory.”

Shuang Yun smiled annoyingly. “I was just lucky.”

The leader of the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe gritted his teeth. “Don’t be smug!”

“We’ve already won. If we’re not smug now, when else will we be?”

“Do you really think you’ve won?” The leader of the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe sneered. “There are a total of three rounds in the trial. You’ve only passed the first two rounds. There’s still the last round. You’ll only really win if you pass all three rounds.”

At this, his gaze swept over Huanhuan with an indescribable viciousness.

Huanhuan’s scalp went numb from his gaze.

Then, she heard him say, “Good luck.”

He wasn’t talking to Shuang Yun, but to Huanhuan.

At this moment, the envoy found the Rock Wolf Tribe. He smiled and said, “Congratulations on your tribe’s victory.”

The Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe took the opportunity to leave.

Shuang Yun asked, “We’ve already won. Can we qualify to build a city?”

“No, you have one last round.”

Shuang Yun was puzzled. “But we’re the only tribe left. Who else do we have to compete with?”

“You’ll be competing with yourselves in the last round.”

“You make it sound so mysterious. Can you be more straightforward?”

Instead of answering, the envoy asked, “Who’s the witch doctor in your Rock Wolf Tribe?”

Shuang Yun and the other beasts couldn’t help but look at Huanhuan.

Huanhuan took a step forward. “It’s me.”

The envoy did not expect the witch doctor of the Rock Wolf Tribe to be a female. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. “A female witch doctor? Are you kidding me?!”

Huanhuan said in neither a servile nor an overbearing manner, “At this point, is there a need for us to joke with you?”

“But you’re a female…”

Huanhuan smiled. “There’s no rule in the beast continent that says females can’t become witch doctors, right?”

“No, but this is… this is unbelievable!”

The envoy believed that he had seen a lot of the world, but he could not help but be shocked by what he was seeing.

Huanhuan said slowly, “As long as we’re not breaking the rules, my existence is reasonable and legal.”

“Alright, we can only proceed like this for now.” The envoy’s mind was a little confused. He organized his thoughts before continuing, “The third round of the trial is specially set for the witch doctor. You’re the only one participating in the trial. If you can pass the trial, your tribe will be qualified to build a city. Otherwise, you’ll fail.”

“If we fail, who will you give the right to build the city to?”

“We’ll let the other three tribes participate in the trial again. The winning tribe will gain the right to build a city.”

Huanhuan continued to ask, “Do all the tribes have to let their witch doctor participate in the last round?”

“Of course. A witch doctor is the soul of a tribe. Their position is very important. If a witch doctor can’t pass the trial, it means they’re not a qualified witch doctor. The temple won’t recognize the tribe’s right to build a city.”

Huanhuan said, “I understand. When will the third round begin?”

“Tonight.”

Huanhuan was a little surprised. “It’ll be held at night?”

“Yes, this is the time chosen by the prophet.”

Huanhuan immediately asked, “The prophet will be presiding over the third round of the trial?”

“Yes.”

Huanhuan’s heart skipped a beat. If she could see the prophet, she could ask him to help testify that she had not killed Mather. At that time, she would be free of suspicion of murder!

She immediately said, “Alright, I’ll participate in the third round of the trial!”

The envoy led them to a stone house and said, “You can rest here and eat. I’ll take you to the temple after the sun sets.”

“Thank you!”

The envoy turned and walked away.

The beasts started a fire to prepare dinner.

Shuang Yun grabbed Huanhuan’s hand and was worried. “You’ll have to go for the last round alone. What if you’re in danger? We won’t be with you. We can’t protect you even if we want to.”

Huanhuan comforted him. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Xue Hui said, “The person presiding over the trial is the prophet. With his way of doing things, he probably won’t let anything happen to Huanhuan.”

Bai Di glanced at her. “Why do you think so?”

“The prophet is a very gentle beast. Unless the other party is guilty of a heinous crime, he rarely hurts anyone. If the Elders’ Association was presiding over the trial, Huanhuan might be in danger, but the person presiding over it is the prophet. She’ll be very safe.”

Seeing how certain Xue Hui was, the worry in Shuang Yun’s heart dissipated a little.

Huanhuan said, “This is a good opportunity. I can go see the prophet and ask him to help testify for me and say that I had nothing to do with Mather’s death.”

Xue Hui nodded. “That’s right. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

Bai Di brought the cooked broth to Huanhuan. “Since you insist on going…” he said gently, “…we believe you.”

Huanhuan finished the soup and felt warm in her heart. “Thank you for your trust!”

Bai Di stroked her head. “I can’t bear to be separated from you.”

“I’m just going for a while. I’ll be back when the trial is over.”

“Just being apart for a while feels long to me too.”

…

Soon, the sun set.

The envoy came to the stone house again. He said to Huanhuan, “Are you ready?”

Huanhuan was full of confidence. “I’m ready.”

“Then let’s go.”

Under the gazes of Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling, Huanhuan followed the envoy out of the stone house.

The envoy said, “If we transform into our beast forms, we can get there quicker.”

Huanhuan thought to herself, ‘I don’t have a beast form. I’m a purebred human!’

But she couldn’t say that.

She said awkwardly, “My beast form is very slow too.”

“I see.” The envoy transformed into a very large hound. “Sit on my back and I’ll carry you. Otherwise, with our walking speed, we’ll only reach the divine mountain at dawn.”

Huanhuan lifted her skirt and carefully climbed onto his back.

The hound raced forward.

Before long, they arrived at the foot of the divine mountain.

The big hound transformed back into a human. He quickly got dressed and asked, “How’s your stamina?”

Huanhuan thought that her stamina was much better than before, but she was definitely trash compared to other beasts. She smiled awkwardly. “I’m not very strong.”

The envoy looked worried. “There’s a rule on the divine mountain. You’re not allowed to use your beast form when ascending the mountain. You can only climb up step by step.”

Huanhuan looked up at the stairs in front of her and felt dizzy.

If she climbed up, she would die!
