When Beauty Meets Beasts

607 Catching Thieves

The corpse fragrance quinoa had lured the monsters to attack Swan Valley. That meant the entire valley was not safe. The person who buried this jar of corpse fragrance quinoa would not be stupid enough to put himself in danger. Therefore, the person was probably not from Swan Valley.

Huanhuan immediately called Shuang Yun and Xue Ling over, along with Elman and Archie. She asked everyone if any strangers had been to Swan Valley recently.

They scratched their heads for a long time, but they couldn’t think of any strangers who had been to Swan Valley recently.

In the end, Shuang Yun said, “A few days ago, we invited a shaman over to treat you.”

Shaman? Huanhuan immediately asked, “Tell me in detail.”

Hence, Shuang Yun told them how they had ‘invited’ the old shaman to Swan Valley.

After hearing this, Archie and Elman were speechless.

These beasts were too reckless. They actually treated a shaman so roughly!

Huanhuan stroked her chin. “If the corpse fragrance quinoa was really buried by that old shaman, this matter makes sense.”

It was just to take revenge on Bai Di and the others.

Bai Di asked, “Why don’t we capture the old shaman and ask him?”

“Don’t be anxious. We have to have evidence before we can take action.”

“Evidence?”

Huanhuan took out the tracking mouse and chuckled. “It can bring us the evidence we need.”

She winded up the tracking mouse, then let it take a sniff of the corpse fragrance quinoa.

The tracking mouse was placed on the ground. Its eyes darted around twice before it ran out.

Xue Ling spread his wings and flew into the sky with Huanhuan in his arms. Bai Di and Shuang Yun ran quickly. They followed the tracking mouse that quickly ran out of Swan Valley.

Archie and Elman also wanted to chase after them to see who the real perpetrator was, but they couldn’t outrun the three tall beasts. In the end, they could only stand on their knees and pant as they watched the beasts go off without them.

Huanhuan’s family followed the tracking mouse and quickly found the old shaman in the depths of the forest.

He froze when he saw Bai Di and the others, then shouted, “Why are you here again?!”

The tracking mouse circled him, squeaking.

Huanhuan understood. “It seems that you’re the real perpetrator.”

She was wearing a hat, and her face was covered by a snow veil. The old shaman couldn’t see her face, but he thought she had a pleasant voice. He looked Huanhuan up and down wretchedly and sneered. “What real perpetrator? Little girl, what are you talking about? I don’t understand at all.”

“It doesn’t matter. You’ll understand later.” Huanhuan raised her right hand. Little Green darted out at an extremely fast speed and wrapped itself tightly around the old shaman.

Little Green quickly climbed the big tree beside it and hung the old shaman in the air.

The old shaman was shocked. “What do you want? Put me down!”

Huanhuan said slowly, “Don’t say I’m heartless. I’ll give you a chance to confess now. Tell me the truth. Did you bury the corpse fragrance quinoa in Swan Valley?”

The old shaman avoided her gaze and said stiffly, “What corpse fragrance quinoa? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Alright, you refused your only chance. I hope you won’t regret it later.” Huanhuan looked at Shuang Yun beside her. “I’ll leave this old thing to you.”

Shuang Yun smiled coldly. “No problem.”

In order to prevent her from seeing too cruel a scene, Bai Di and Xue Ling brought Huanhuan to the stream not far away to rest.

Xue Ling took out Eggy and touched it like it was a treasure.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask, “How long before the egg hatches?”

“It’ll take at least 10 days or a month.”

Huanhuan calculated. “That’s not long. I wonder if Eggy is a son or a daughter.”

Xue Ling kissed Eggy. “Eggy is so cute. She must be a girl.”

“What if it’s a boy?”

Xue Ling’s lips curled up, and his eyes lit up. “It’s okay. We’re still young. We can still give birth to another one.”

Huanhuan was speechless.

It didn’t take long for Shuang Yun to stride over. He looked clean and spotless.

Huanhuan asked him how it went.

“I got an answer out of him. That old guy is the real perpetrator. He had a grudge against Bai Di for breaking his bones the last time. Before he left, he deliberately buried corpse fragrance quinoa in Swan Valley to attract monsters to kill us.”

Huanhuan frowned. “This person is really sinister.”

Fortunately, the dwarfs had made the cannons and gunpowder in advance, and they also had the help of Bai Di and the others. Otherwise, with the dwarfs’ strength, they would have been swallowed by the monster wave last night. Who knew how many people would have died then?

She asked, “How’s the old guy now?”

Shuang Yun clicked his tongue, looking a little dissatisfied. “I just got the words out of him, but he couldn’t take it anymore and died. He’s lucky.”

Such a sinister and ruthless old thing should be tortured ruthlessly before he died.

Since the matter of corpse fragrance quinoa had been resolved, Huanhuan’s family did not stay here any longer. They immediately set off to return to Swan Valley.

As for the corpse fragrance quinoa, Huanhuan used it as a reserve material for alchemy and casually threw it into the space.

The space could isolate all auras and smells. The monsters could not smell the corpse fragrance quinoa. They did not have to worry about being attacked by the monsters at all.

Although the monster tide last night was extremely dangerous, it was not completely without benefits.

Other than the monsters who were lucky enough to escape, most of the monsters were killed on the spot. There were at least a thousand of them.

Not a lot of monsters would dare to appear here again, and the dawn continent would be much more peaceful from here on.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Huanhuan bade farewell to Archie and Elman.

Archie and Elman tried to persuade her to stay, but they couldn’t change her decision. They could only send Huanhuan’s family off dozens of miles away with the dwarfs and gnomes before reluctantly watching them leave.

The Silvery Frost White Wolf ran ahead, clearing the way. His figure was strong and confident.

Xue Ling spread his wings and flew in the air. His fiery red wings shone like the sun.

Huanhuan sat on the white tiger’s back. The wind blew through her long hair, and the snow silk veil fluttered in the wind.

She looked back. It was the path they had taken. It was so long that she couldn’t see the end.

They might never see each other again.

She hoped that her friends who had helped her could be safe and happy.

Huanhuan looked away into the distance.

The future was long and uncertain.

But she wasn’t afraid at all, because she had her family by her side.

Huanhuan gently touched the back of the tiger under her. Her voice was clear and pleasant. “Bai Di, let’s go faster.”

The white tiger immediately sped up, his limbs jumping and rising like the wind. The muscles on his body bulged, and he was filled with powerful strength.

Huanhuan’s husbands accompanied her as they raced into the unknown.
