Chapter 234 - Make Me Official

Huanhuan lifted her skirt and ran downstairs.

Shuang Yun and Bai Di, who were discussing something, saw her coming and stopped their discussion at the same time. Together, they watched her pounce on them.

Huanhuan hugged Shuang Yun first, then Bai Di.

“You’re finally back. I missed you!”

Bai Di stroked her head and smiled gently. “We missed you too.”

As if by magic, Shuang Yun took out a bouquet of bright flowers from behind his back and handed it to Huanhuan. “Does it look good?”

“It’s beautiful!” Huanhuan was pleasantly surprised. “Is it for me?”

Shuang Yun raised his chin and snorted. “Give me a kiss and I’ll give it to you.”

Huanhuan quickly kissed the back of his hand, then held out her hands. “I did it. Give me the flowers.”

Even though he was frustrated, Shuang Yun gave her the flowers.

He had wanted to learn from Xue Ling and take advantage of Huanhuan, but Huanhuan took advantage of him instead. This little female was getting more and more cunning.

Huanhuan placed the flowers in a wooden vase.

She asked, “How have you been these past two days? Were you in danger?”

“We encountered a few beasts who were infected with dead blood disease. We dealt with them.”

Bai Di’s tone was calm as if he were not talking about killing but about the good weather.

Huanhuan knew that he was deliberately making light of it so that he wouldn’t worry her. She felt warm inside, but her heart ached for Bai Di and Shuang Yun.

They had stayed in the forest for two days and one night. They had to travel everywhere and deal with the beasts suffering from dead blood disease. They must have had a hard time.

She decided to cook dinner for them tonight and reward them.

Huanhuan made braised chicken tonight.

After frying the sliced chicken, she put in the chopped pickled vegetables, bamboo shoots, and seasonings. She added some water, then covered the pot tightly. After braising the meat for a while, she spread a layer of cut potatoes and field mustard. She continued to braise everyting for a while more.

When she lifted the lid again, the rich fragrance filled the entire building.

Xue Ling followed the fragrance into the kitchen. He stared at the chicken in the pot and swallowed unconsciously.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but remind him, “Watch your image.”

Xue Ling urged, “Let’s hurry up and eat.”

“I’ll be done soon. Go get the rest.”

Xue Ling called his family to the dining table as quickly as possible. When Huanhuan placed the braised chicken on the table, everyone involuntarily felt saliva in their mouths.

Tonight’s meal was all about speed!

Huanhuan watched as the hands and chopsticks flew in front of her. In a short while, a large pot of braised chicken was finished.

She thought back carefully. It seemed that she had only eaten two pieces of chicken from beginning to end.

She only had the two pieces of chicken that Bai Di put in her bowl.

Huanhuan looked at them speechlessly. “Aren’t you afraid of choking?!”

Everyone expressed that even if there was another pot of braised chicken, they would not choke.

A bunch of foodies!

Bai Di went to the kitchen later and made a large pot of meat soup for everyone to eat. Only then did were they all full.

After eating and drinking his fill, Sang Ye took the initiative to clean the table.

Xue Ling said to Bai Di and Shuang Yun, “You two should go to bed early. We have to wake up early tomorrow morning.”

Huanhuan was very puzzled. “Why do you have to wake up early?”

Bai Di explained, “We have to go to the forest tomorrow.”

“Huh? Haven’t you already been there? Is there something else you have to do?”

Bai Di said, “We’ve only checked the forest near this half of the rock mountain. We haven’t finished checking the other half. We have to continue tomorrow.”

Shuang Yun leaned in front of Huanhuan. “Sleep with me tonight. I have to go out again tomorrow morning. I don’t know how long this trip will take. Don’t reject me tonight.”

Huanhuan stroked his short silver-white hair and said, “This isn’t the time to talk about this. I have something else to tell you.”

“What is it?”

Huanhuan took out the ten stone slabs with beast patterns and introduced the uses of the beast patterns.

This time, not only Shuang Yun and Bai Di, but even Xue Ling, who had seen many things, couldn’t help but look shocked.

In order to convince them, Huanhuan specially pushed Sang Ye out.

“I’ve already asked him to try the strengthening beast pattern. He said that it’s useful.”

The other three looked at Sang Ye.

Sang Ye rolled up his sleeve. The beast pattern on his arm had already disappeared. He said, “The beast pattern did increase my strength in a short period of time. The effect was obvious, but there were also some aftereffects.”

Huanhuan quickly asked, “What aftereffects?”

“After the effect of the beast pattern wore off, I wasn’t be able to muster any strength in my arm for a while. I even felt sore. My body has lost its senses, so I I can’t exctly feel sore. I can’t be sure about it, so this is just my speculation.”

Bai Di looked thoughtful. “You only used a strengthening beast pattern. If it’s a more powerful attribute beast pattern, the aftereffects should be even more obvious.”

After hearing their analysis, Huanhuan couldn’t help but worry. “What should we do? I thought these beast patterns could help you.”

She did not expect there to be repercussions. There was no mention of this in the manual.

Xue Ling casually picked up a stone slab and said with a faint smile, “I don’t think it’s a big deal to have some aftereffects. After all, there’s nothing in this world that can be obtained without paying a price. It’s quite worth it to pay a little physical pain in order to become stronger in a short period of time.”

Huanhuan said slowly, “But I’m worried that the aftereffects of using beast patterns will affect your health.”

Bai Di said, “We won’t know if they’ll affect our health until we use them.”

“What do you want to do?”

“Shuang Yun and I will try these beast patterns tomorrow to see how serious the aftereffects are.”

Huanhuan immediately said, “No, this is too dangerous. What if the aftereffects are so serious that you can’t take it? The forest is filled with danger. I’m worried about you.”

Xue Ling touched her little face. “I’ll accompany them to the forest tomorrow. If they’re in danger, I’ll protect them and promise not to let anything happen to them. Is that okay?”

It would be best if he could help.

However, from what Huanhuan knew of him, she knew that this guy would definitely not do anything for free.

She asked directly, “What do you want?”

Xue Ling smiled slightly, and his upturned phoenix eyes were immediately enchanting. He was like a peerless demon.

“I want you.”

Huanhuan immediately covered her abdomen and retreated. “I can’t mate with anyone now. No one.”

“You don’t have to mate with me now, but you have to agree to make me official.”

“Huh?”

“Didn’t you say I was still under observation? Now that the observation period is over, it’s time to make me official, right?”

Huanhuan blinked. “Can I have some time to think about it?”

Xue Ling approached her. “What else do you have to think about? Hmm?”
