When Beauty Meets Beasts

572 She’s Not Worthy Of You At All!

There was a muffled pop.

Blood flowed between his fingers.

Coupled with his ghostly handsome face and the white moon behind him, the scene looked especially strange.

Huanhuan was about to cry.

But she didn’t dare argue with him. “Go,” she begged carefully. “I’m sick. I want to rest.”

Xing Chen saw that she did not look happy. “Why are you sick? Did that spider witch hurt you?”

“I’m not hurt. I caught a cold from fatigue.”

“I heard you talking to Murphy just now. Did you voluntarily go to the spider forest to save Murphy?” A dangerous look appeared in Xing Chen’s eyes. If she answered yes, he would immediately kill Murphy!

For a woman to put herself in danger for a man, she must have deep feelings for him.

Xing Chen couldn’t tolerate this.

Huanhuan didn’t know what he was thinking. She told him the truth. “I was forced to go to the spider forest by the Elven Queen. I didn’t actually want to go there.”

“Are you saying that Catherine forced you to die in the spider forest?”

Huanhuan asked, “Who’s Catherine?”

“It’s the name of the Elven Queen.”

Huanhuan didn’t know how Xing Chen knew the Elven Queen’s name, but she didn’t ask further. In any case, this had nothing to do with her. She said, “The Elven Queen probably despises my background and doesn’t want me to confuse her son, so she forced me to die in the spider forest.”

Unfortunately, not only did she not die, but she also returned intact.

The Elven Queen must be fed up.

Seeing that Huanhuan didn’t have those kinds of undying feelings for Murphy, Xing Chen’s killing intent for Murphy disappeared, but at the same time, he remembered the Elven Queen.

…

Murphy walked into the palace and found the Elven Queen, who was preparing dinner.

Seeing her son, the Elven Queen smiled elegantly. “You’re just in time. Come sit here and have dinner with me.”

Murphy walked over and sat down, but he didn’t touch the food on the table.

He looked at the Elven Queen’s beautiful face and said, “Huanhuan told me everything.”

The Elven Queen didn’t seem to hear him. She placed a glass of fruit juice in front of Murphy and sighed slowly. “It’s been a long time since we ate together like this. Focus on eating dinner with me today. We’ll talk about other things after that, okay?”

Murphy said nothing. He just picked up his cup and took a sip of juice.

The mother and son finished dinner quietly.

The elven servants cleared the table.

The Elven Queen stood up. “Come for a walk with me.”

She walked into the small garden, and Murphy followed her.

The Elven Queen strolled among the flowers. Her long silver dress meandered among the flowers like the Milky Way in the sky, reflecting everything behind her.

“The moonlight is really pretty tonight.”

She smiled, and it was so beautiful that the flowers paled in comparison.

However, Murphy was not in the mood to admire the moonlight with her. He said in a low voice, “Why did you lie to Huanhuan? I’m not cursed at all, and the spider witch won’t cry. Why did you lie?”

The Elven Queen stopped and looked at him sideways. “I didn’t lie to her. You’re indeed cursed. Night elves symbolize curses. At this moment, there’s a night elf hiding in your body. He’s your curse.”

“Mother!” Murphy said loudly. “Don’t forget that Lance is your child like me. You can’t say that about him!”

“No, he’s not my child!” The Elven Queen raised her chin, her gaze cold. “As the queen of the elves, I have noble elven blood flowing in my body. It’s impossible for me to give birth to a dirty child like a night elf!”

Although this was not the first time he had heard her say such a thing, Murphy still felt disappointed.

He and Lance were twins and were extremely close to each other. Coupled with the fact that Lance’s soul was in his body and the two of them had grown up together, he could feel some of Lance’s feelings.

For example, the grievance and resentment he felt when facing their mother.

Murphy clenched his fists. After taking a deep breath, he unclenched his fists. “Let’s not talk about Lance today. I just want to ask you why you tricked Huanhuan into going to the spider forest. You knew she’d die.”

The Elven Queen said, “I’ll say it again. I didn’t lie to her. She did everything willingly.”

“Mother, why are you still saying this at a time like this?!”

But the Elven Queen said, “No matter what you say, I don’t regret what I did. Everything I did was to protect you.”

“I implore you not to hurt others in the name of protection, okay? If you’re dissatisfied with anything, you can come at me directly. I’m your son. You gave me my life. You can punish me however you want, but Huanhuan is innocent. If you hurt her again, I’m really worried that I’ll do something terrifying on impulse.”

The Elven Queen frowned. “Are you threatening me?”

“I’m just asking you to let me and Huanhuan go and stop interfering in our matters.”

The Elven Queen couldn’t understand. “We elves have so many good girls. Why do you have to take a fancy to that female beast? She’s not worthy of you at all!”

“Relationships have always been involuntary. Once you fall in love, you risk your life. Even if a couple isn’t compatible, it’s all up to fate.”

The Elven Queen froze.

Many years ago, someone had said the same thing to her.

After saying this, the person died.

As for how he died, the Elven Queen couldn’t remember.

“After Huanhuan recovers, I’ll take her away. I won’t be able to be by your side in the future. I hope you can take care of yourself.”

After saying this, Murphy left without looking back.

Only the Elven Queen was left standing alone in the garden, staring at the flowers.

A fist of black fog silently appeared behind her.

The black fog condensed into a human form, and his amber eyes refracted cold light under the moonlight.

The Elven Queen seemed to sense danger behind her. She suddenly turned around and met Xing Chen’s eyes.

After a short moment of shock, she quickly became wary. “Who are you? Why are you here?”

Xing Chen stood quietly in front of her. Black fog rolled around him, and faint black vines rolled in the fog like countless demonic hands. “I came to look for you to do something.”

The Elven Queen sensed evil from him.

It was a terrifying aura that only a great demon from the abyss would have.

The Elven Queen lifted her skirt and quickly retreated. At the same time, she shouted, “Help!”
