When Beauty Meets Beasts

664 Home!

A month later, the four of them finally arrived at Rock City.

It had been almost a year since they left Rock City. Huanhuan stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the rock mountain that was covered in creepers. She felt like she was in a dream.

Time passed quickly.

The creepers were very happy to see her back. They extended their vines and gently touched her palm.

“Welcome home.”

Huanhuan was like a traveler who had traveled for many years. She finally returned to the home she had been dreaming of. She couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. “Eggy, we’re home.”

Eggy stood on her shoulder and tilted her head to study the rock mountain in front of her.

As usual, Mu Xiang was preparing to go to the trading market in the west of the city after weaving cloth.

She had just descended the mountain when she saw three people standing in front of her.

The female looked extremely familiar, but because she was wearing a veiled hat and her face could not be seen clearly, Mu Xiang could not be sure who she was.

Driven by curiosity, Mu Xiang walked over and greeted Xue Ling, but her gaze was already on Huanhuan.

“Xue Ling, you’re finally back. Who is this female?”

Xue Ling deliberately kept her in suspense. “Guess.”

‘Go ahead and guess. If you’re right, I’ll lose.’

Mu Xiang’s curiosity was completely piqued by the female’s mysterious appearance. She stared at the female in front of her for a long time. The more she looked at her, the more familiar she found her.

“Y-You’re… Huanhuan?”

Huanhuan lifted the snow silk veil, revealing her fair and beautiful face. She smiled happily. “Mu Xiang, long time no see.”

Mu Xiang’s eyes widened in disbelief.

How exciting! She froze where she was, not daring to move. This had to be a dream!

Seeing that she didn’t respond for a long time, Huanhuan couldn’t help but wave her hand in front of her. “Have you been scared silly?”

Mu Xiang grabbed her hand.

It was warm! She was indeed alive!

Then, Mu Xiang pinched her thigh hard. Hiss! It hurt!

‘I’m not dreaming!’

Huanhuan was stunned by her series of actions.

Mu Xiang swallowed and asked carefully, “Are you really Huanhuan?”

Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It’s been more than ten years since we last met. Have you forgotten what I look like?”

“I haven’t forgotten. I won’t forget what you look like even if I die, but you… Aren’t you already…” Mu Xiang couldn’t say the word ‘dead’, but she couldn’t find a substitute. Her eyes were red.

“I’m not dead. I’m back.”

When Huanhuan said this word by word, not only did Mu Xiang smile in surprise, but even Xue Ling, who was standing beside her, smiled.

His little female was finally home.

Their family had been waiting for this day for too long.

Mu Xiang hugged Huanhuan and cried with joy.

“It’s good that you’re back! It’s really great!”

Huanhuan raised her hand and patted her back. “Let’s stop standing at the foot of the mountain. Let’s go back and talk.”

“Okay, okay. We’ll go back now.” Mu Xiang let go of her and wiped her tears. She was smiling, but there were tears in her eyes.

She was crying and laughing at the same time.

Huanhuan’s heart ached.

Mu Xiang led them up the mountain. She was very excited the entire time and never stopped talking. “You might not know this, but after you left, the rock mountain became Rock City. Patriarch Shuang Yun became our beast king. After all these years of development, our city has become stronger and stronger…”

Huanhuan already knew most of what she was saying, but she still listened with relish. It was as if she had witnessed the growth and strength of Rock City with everyone.

“We’re home!” Mu Xiang stood at the door, smiling until the crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes curled up. “Your house is still the same. There haven’t been many changes. Someone originally suggested that Shuang Yun get a palace to stay in, but Shuang Yun refused. To be honest, I don’t think your house needs to change. It’s good to just leave it like this!”

They were all nostalgic.

Huanhuan pushed open the door and walked in. The pheasants in the courtyard were gone.

Xue Ling said, “The pheasants you raised previously stayed in our house for more than ten years. In the end, they died of old age. We burned them and buried them in the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain.”

Huanhuan thought to herself that the pheasants were quite tenacious for staying alive that long.

Two new buildings were built beside the original three-story building.

Xue Ling said, “Big Goody and the others have grown up. There weren’t enough rooms, so we built two new buildings for the children to live in.”

The three small buildings were close together. When Huanhuan opened the window, she could see what was going on in the house opposite.

Huanhuan looked at the familiar arrangement in the house and smelled the familiar scent. She couldn’t help but smile comfortably. “It’s quite good.”

They came back at the wrong time. Big Goody had gone out with her three brothers. There was no one at home.

Huanhuan asked where Ni Ya was.

Mu Xiang smiled and said, “That kid just went home not long ago. I heard that his family found him a female and wants him to go back and take a look at her. If they both think they’re compatible, they’ll become mates.”

Huanhuan was a little surprised. “He’s going on a blind date?”

“That’s right. He was unwilling to go at first and lost his temper. But after Big Goody beat him up, he became obedient.”

Huanhuan couldn’t help but laugh. “They’ve been fighting since they were young. Their relationship should be very good, right?”

“Their relationship is indeed good. I even thought the two of them could be a couple. I didn’t expect them to separate in the end.” Mu Xiang remembered the scene when Ni Ya left and couldn’t help but chuckle. “When Ni Ya left, he was crying. He didn’t look like he was going back for a blind date. He looked more like he was forced to die.”

Her words made Huanhuan laugh.

Huanhuan knew that Big Goody and the others would not be back for a while, so she said to Xue Ling and Yun Hui, “You’ve been flying for so long and haven’t rested much. Hurry up and sleep now.”

This was his home. Xue Ling was very relaxed.

He asked Mu Xiang to help take care of Huanhuan, then he yawned and flew up to the small attic to catch up on his sleep.

When the children grew up, they went to live in the small building next door. Their old room was empty. Huanhuan cleaned it up and let Yun Hui stay there for the time being.

Huanhuan walked down the stairs and saw Mu Xiang teasing Eggy.

“Is this your and Xue Ling’s daughter? She’s so cute!”

When Eggy saw her mother, she immediately flew over and landed on her shoulder. At the same time, she didn’t forget to shake her yellow feathers to show that she was indeed cute.

Huanhuan stroked her daughter’s feathers and smiled. “That’s because you haven’t seen her when she’s being naughty.”

“Daughters are precious. It’s fine for them to be naughty.” Mu Xiang’s gaze on Eggy was especially bright. “What’s your youngest daughter’s name?”

“Her name is Eggy.”

“Eggy! What a cute name.” The more Mu Xiang looked at Eggy, the more satisfied she was. “In the future, when your Eggy grows up and is ready to choose a mate, remember to prioritize those brats of mine!”
