When Beauty Meets Beasts

751 Divine Artifact

Ni Ya looked nervous. His palms were sweaty, and his voice was trembling, but he looked serious.

It was obvious that he really wanted to be Shuang Yin’s mate.

Huanhuan’s attitude was gentle. “Big Goody has grown up. Her marriage is up to her. I won’t interfere.”

Ni Ya quickly asked, “Then can I go back to Rock City with you? I want to pursue Big Goody!”

Huanhuan smiled. “Of course. You’re welcome to Rock City as a guest.”

“Thank you!” Ni Ya’s request was granted, and he was in high spirits.

Bai Di interrupted. “We’ll leave Sun City tomorrow morning. If you want to come with us, it’s best if you go back now and tell your parents and elders about it. You need to pack up your bags too. Wait for us at the city gate tomorrow morning when the sun comes out.”

Ni Ya agreed. “Yes, I’ll go back and tell Father and Mother.”

With that, he hurried out.

“Don’t be so fast. Wait for me!” Ni Mei shouted as she chased after her.

Before long, the siblings disappeared.

Huanhuan turned to look at Bai Di. “We’re leaving tomorrow morning? Isn’t it too rushed?”

“I’ve been delayed here for a long time. If we don’t go back now, Shuang Yun will probably be anxious.”

“But…” Huanhuan hesitated.

“But what?” Bai Di looked down at her. “You can tell me anything. Don’t hide it from me.”

Huanhuan hesitated for a moment before saying, “If we go home, what about the prophet? Should we bring him back to Rock City?”

“He’s the prophet. Of course, he has to return to the 10,000 Beast Temple. Didn’t you already hand him over to Shuang Jing? With Shuang Jing’s strength, he can definitely safely send the prophet back to the 10,000 Beast Temple.”

“The prophet is unconscious now. The elders might do something to him. Should we help him?”

Bai Di stroked her head and smiled. “The prophet can predict the future. He must know that the elders’ association has ill intentions. He should be prepared to deal with them. We don’t have to worry about him.”

“What if—”

“There’s no ‘what if’.” Bai Di lowered his head and kissed her forehead. His tone was gentle but irrefutable. “The matter of the 10,000 Beast Temple has nothing to do with you. Instead of worrying about those trivial matters, why don’t you think about how to solve the problem of Sang Ye and Clement getting along?”

Clement, who was rolling on the bed, looked up at Bai Di when he heard his name.

To prevent Huanhuan’s imagination from running wild, Bai Di stayed with her all afternoon.

It wasn’t until late afternoon when Bai Di had to go to the kitchen to make dinner that he separated from Huanhuan.

Huanhuan stayed in the house to take care of Clement.

Shuang Jing, who had been missing for the past two days, suddenly appeared.

When Clement saw him, he immediately got up and bared his teeth at him.

Shuang Jing smiled. “This little fatty of yours is still as energetic as ever. Don’t tell me he wants me to hug him?”

Clement flashed his white teeth. ‘Come on! Touch me and I’ll eat you!’

Afraid that Clement would pounce on Shuang Jing and bite him, Huanhuan quickly hugged her son tightly and looked at Shuang Jing. “Why are you here?”

“I heard that you’re leaving Sun City tomorrow morning, so I came to ask you what to do with the prophet.”

Huanhuan asked, “Is he still unconscious?”

“Yeah.”

This answer was expected, but Huanhuan was still disappointed. “It seems I have to go to the home of the unicorns.”

“Home of the unicorns? Why are you going there?”

“It’s said that you can find a way to awaken the prophet there.”

Shuang Jing frowned. “Unicorns are divine beasts. No one knows where their home is. Do you know?”

Huanhuan didn’t know either, but Little Brat did.

She nodded. “Yes.”

“You can take us there?”

“Sure.”

Seeing how readily she agreed, Shuang Jing became suspicious. “Why should I believe you?”

Although she seemed harmless at the moment, he had to be wary of her, especially since this matter concerned the safety of the prophet. He had to be careful.

Huanhuan didn’t know what to do to make Shuang Jing believe her.

While hesitating, she heard Little Brat say the word ‘dagger’.

Huanhuan immediately took out the bone dagger. “This is a token from the prophet. It should prove the prophet’s trust in me, right?”

Unexpectedly, when Shuang Jing saw the dagger, his expression became extremely shocked as if he had seen a ghost.

“W-Why do you have this divine artifact?!”

Huanhuan was stunned. “Divine artifact?”

“It’s polished from the horns on the heads of adult unicorns. A unicorn can only have one horn in its life. After it dies, it leaves its horns to its children. It’s known as a divine artifact. The prophet once said that whoever he gives this divine artifact to in the future will be his successor.”

Shuang Jing’s face was filled with disbelief. “The prophet gave you the artifact, which means he chose you as his successor.”

Huanhuan scratched her cheek. “The prophet did say that he wanted me to inherit the position of prophet.”

The way Shuang Jing looked at her was extremely complicated. There was envy, inquiry, and a lot of confusion.

He didn’t understand why the prophet would pass the position to a female.

“In all these years on the beast continent, no female has ever held the position of prophet.”

Huanhuan squared her shoulders. “No female has ever held the position of witch doctor or high priest before. I’m the first female witch doctor and the first female high priest, so don’t underestimate females.”

“You’re indeed a very impressive female, but the position of prophet isn’t as simple as you think. With your current strength, you might not be able to sit firmly in the position of prophet.”

“That’s why I had no intention of becoming a prophet.”

Shuang Jing was stunned again. “What did you say?”

“I’m not that ambitious. I don’t want to climb that high. Besides, the prophet is still alive. Although he’s been unconscious, as long as we find the home of the unicorns, he still has hope of waking up. At that time, he’ll still be the prophet and I’ll still be the high priest of Rock City.”

Shuang Jing was surprised. “Are you really not interested in the position of prophet at all?”

Huanhuan shook her head. “As you just said, I can’t sit firmly in that position. In that case, why should I look for trouble?”

Shuang Jing didn’t know whether to call her stupid or self-aware.

“Although you don’t want to be the successor of the prophet, since this dagger has been given to you, you’re the next candidate for the position of prophet.” Shuang Jing knelt on one knee and said word by word, “Before the prophet wakes up, you’ll be the acting head of the 10,000 Beast Temple. We 12 divine guards and all the divine servants in the temple will listen to your commands.”
