When Shuang Yun and Xue Ling saw her pitiful appearance, the evil fire in their bodies intensified. However, in the end, their hearts ached for her. The two of them could only endure their urges and help Huanhuan put on her clothes.
Bai Di knocked several times, but there was no response. He became even more anxious and kicked the door!
The black dragon took two steps to the side.
The door was kicked open!
Bai Di strode in. He looked at Huanhuan, whose eyes were filled with tears, then at Shuang Yun's and Xue Ling's unsatisfied expressions. He immediately understood what was going on.
"Huanhuan's body is very weak. It's not like you don't know that. Don't mess with her."
Bai Di reached out and pulled Huanhuan into his arms, comforting her gently.
Huanhuan leaned into his arms and gradually calmed down. Recalling what had just happened, she was embarrassed and angry. If Bai Di hadn't arrived in time, they would have succeeded!
Shuang Yun and Xue Ling were unhappy that they did not get to devour the sweet and delicious female.
When Bai Di finally coaxed Huanhuan to sleep, he looked back and realized that Shuang Yun, Xue Ling, and the black dragon were gone.
Bai Di walked out of the bedroom and saw the black dragon sitting on the windowsill with a bouquet of flowers. He seemed to be weaving a wreath.
"Where are Shuang Yun and Xue Ling?" Bai Di asked.
Without looking up, the black dragon said, "They went out. They must be taking a cold shower."
When the two guys left the house just now, they stretched their clothes below their waists. They looked quite angry. They had to resort to a cold water bath to calm down.
Bai Di couldn't find the two guys, so he had to solve the problem of the black dragon first.
"Yun Hui, do you like Huanhuan too?"
His question was very straightforward. No one could pretend to be confused.
The black dragon didn't stop moving and replied at the same time, "I don't know."
"You don't?"
"Yes, I don't quite understand what the feelings you're talking about are."
Because he didn't understand, the black dragon deliberately stayed in the bedroom just now to see Shuang Yun and Xue Ling make out with Huanhuan. Perhaps he could figure out what liking someone meant if he watched them.
Bai Di smiled in understanding. "You haven't grown up yet."
The black dragon looked up, his black eyes dark gold. "I'm an adult."
"The dragon inheritance has brought you to adulthood physically and mentally, but your emotions haven't fully awakened."
"What do I have to do, then?" the black dragon asked humbly.
Bai Di thought for a moment. "If you meet someone you like in the future, you'd want to share your happiness with her when you're happy. When you're sad, you'd want to hug her for comfort. When you're planning your future, her figure would take over your entire plan… You'd want to be with her all the time. If you can tick off all these things, congratulations, you've obtained love."
The black dragon looked thoughtful. "It sounds complicated. I need some time to sort it out."
Since the topic was raised, Bai Di took the opportunity to ask, "Didn't the dragon inheritance mention love?"
"Dragons value desire more than love."
"Oh?"
"Dragons have strong desires, especially male dragons who have just reached adulthood. In order to satisfy their physical needs, they'll look for lovers everywhere. After surviving this period of physical restlessness, the male dragon will find a female dragon he likes in the dragon race to be his mate and spend the rest of his life with."
Bai Di was surprised. "Won't the female dragons be angry?"
A female dragon's mate would have had so many lovers before he got together with her. Just thinking about it made him angry.
However, the black dragon said, "This has always been the rule of the dragon race. The female dragons can understand."
"Then have you taken a lover since you left Dragon Island?"
"No."
"Why? Don't you have any needs in that area?"
"I can restrain myself." The black dragon's tone was still calm when he said this, but Bai Di could acutely sense a hint of pride in his expression.
Bai Di smiled. "It's not easy to restrain your desires."
"I won't let myself be reduced to a dragon controlled by desire."
…
That night, Huanhuan lay in bed. Shuang Yun was on her left, and Xue Ling was on her right. Bai Di and the black dragon slept in the two rooms next door.
The originally spacious bed was fully occupied with the three of them sleeping together.
Huanhuan opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. She asked speechlessly, "There's an empty room next door. Why can't you sleep in that room?"
"You're not in that room," Xue Ling replied crisply.
Shuang Yun leaned close to her and wrapped his arm around her waist. "It's fine if you don't let us devour you, but can't you let us hug you and smell you?"
Huanhuan didn't mind sleeping with them, but she was afraid that these two guys wouldn't be able to control their desires. She didn't want to get into a threesome or anything of the sort!
In order to divert her attention, Huanhuan asked, "Is Sang Ye okay?"
It was Shuang Yun who answered her.
"When we left, Sang Ye had already stabilized his position as the commander of the demons. Not only is his reputation very high among the demons, but even the entire beast continent already knows his name. He…"
"He's fine now," Xue Ling suddenly interrupted him and said casually, "When we go back, we'll call Sang Ye back for a gathering."
Huanhuan immediately smiled. "Okay!"
Shuang Yun glanced at Xue Ling and saw him shake his head. In the end, he could only swallow his unfinished words.
'We'll talk about those things when we get back.'
Huanhuan asked about the children again.
As they chatted, Huanhuan fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was the next morning.
After a night of recuperation, the soreness in Huanhuan's body had eased a lot. Bai Di asked her when they would leave. Huanhuan said that she had something to do and they would leave when she was done.
She went out to look for Murphy, but she was stopped by the guards at the palace's gate.
The guards said that the Elf King had been very busy recently and had no time to see guests.
Helpless, Huanhuan could only return empty-handed.
In the palace, Murphy was studying the bark scroll.
A guard lowered his head and walked in. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, she's gone."
Without looking up, Murphy replied, "I understand."
After the guard left, Murphy threw away the bark scroll in his hand and leaned back in his chair. He looked up at the ceiling and frowned.
He wanted to see her, but he was afraid to.
…
Huanhuan wanted to plant the seed of the Tree of Life, but she didn't know where to plant it. She wanted to discuss it with Murphy, but he was busy now. She couldn't even see him.
Huanhuan could only let Xue Ling bring her to the top of the mountain.
Since the Tree of Life had grown here back then, it shouldn't be wrong for her to bury the seed here now.
Lin Huanhuan took out a hoe and prepared to dig a hole.
Xue Ling took the tool from her hand, turned one hand into a sharp claw, and quickly dug out a pit in the ground.
"Is this big enough?"
"It'll do."
Huanhuan placed the seed in the pit, then bit her finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it on the seed.
