Chapter 699 Work And Have A Family

Xue Ling, Shuang Yun, Bai Di, and the others met.

The wolves and feathered beasts led the tree people forward. Their traveling speed immediately increased several times.

Shuang Yun led the way as usual. Xue Ling flew in the air, while Bai Di was at the back.

It had been raining heavily for the past few days. Every step he took was covered in mud. The ground was wet and slippery, and the road was difficult to walk. However, in order to return home as soon as possible, the beasts gritted their teeth and traveled day and night.

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling suddenly felt the contractual ring on their ring fingers become hot!

The three of them felt their hearts ache almost at the same time!

They stopped in unison.

The rings told them that something had happened to Huanhuan!

Bai Di reacted the most. He immediately said to Shuang Yun, "Take them back. I'll go first."

Without waiting for Shuang Yun to respond, Bai Di ran out and rushed into the rain and fog without looking back.

"I'll go with him," Xue Ling said, then spread his wings and flew away too.

In the end, the furious Shuang Yun was left behind and stayed where he was.

These two guys were too much!

He wanted to look for Huanhuan too! However, there was a large group of beasts behind him who needed him to lead the way. He could not escape. He could only stay with a dark expression and speed up. At the same time, he kept praying that Huanhuan would be safe.

Little Brat brought Huanhuan to a stop not long after.

In order to deal with Xing Chen just now, he had used too much strength. His body was seriously overdrawn.

With his last bit of strength, he stuffed Huanhuan's soul back into her body.

When Yun Hui and Sang Ye rushed over, Little Brat's body had already turned translucent. His voice was very weak. "I'll leave Huanhuan in your care. Her soul is damaged. There might be some aftereffects when she wakes up…"

Before he could finish, he turned into countless fragments of starlight.

The starlight automatically condensed into a faint golden ball of light that returned to Huanhuan's body.

Sang Ye transformed into his human form and reached out to pick Huanhuan up. His fingertips brushed her cheek, and he felt her temperature gradually rise.

When Yun Hui was first hatched, he was used as a slave by Tao Wei. That experience caused Yun Hui to hate all demons.

The snake beast in front of him was an out-and-out demon.

Yun Hui spread his wings and helped Huanhuan block the rain. He looked at Sang Ye expressionlessly. "Are you also Huanhuan's mate?"

Sang Ye looked up at him and did not answer.

Yun Hui said, "I didn't expect Huanhuan to find a demon beast to be her mate."

Sang Ye ignored him and prepared to leave with Huanhuan.

Yun Hui immediately stopped him. "Where are you taking Huanhuan?"

Sang Ye finally said, "She's my mate. Of course, I have to bring her home."

"Which home? Your home in Rock City? Or your home in the demon race?"

Sang Ye fell silent again.

Yun Hui extended his hand. "Leave her to me. I'll take her back to Rock City."

Sang Ye did not move.

"Huanhuan is not a demon. She can't go to the territory of the demons. And you can't enter Rock City with your current identity. You can only leave her to me. I'll send her back to Rock City safely."

Sang Ye knew that he was right, but he was unwilling to hand Huanhuan over to another person.

Just as the two sides were in a deadlock, Huanhuan woke up.

She opened her eyes and immediately looked pleasantly surprised to see Sang Ye in front of her. "Sang Ye!"

Sang Ye looked down at her. "How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I feel quite good!"

"I'm glad you're okay."

Huanhuan noticed Yun Hui and was a little surprised. "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to bring Eggy back?"

Yun Hui explained, "On the way back, I happened to meet Shuang Yin, who was looking for us. Hence, I handed Eggy to Shuang Yin to take care of. I followed the aura you left behind and found Dark Moon City."

Since everyone was fine, Huanhuan decided to go home quickly.

She left so suddenly that Shuang Yin must have gone crazy with anxiety.

Sang Ye and Yun Hui walked back slowly.

Along the way, the rain did not stop. Occasionally, one or two bolts of lightning would flash.

Every time there was lightning, Huanhuan would remember how she felt when she was struck by lightning. She was so frightened that she shrank into Sang Ye's arms and did not dare to show her head.

Sang Ye hugged her tightly. The rain fell on his body. She was always protected from the rain.

Ten days later, they arrived outside Rock City without a hitch.

Sang Ye said, "This is as far as I can send you."

Huanhuan was very surprised. "What do you mean you're only sending us here? Aren't you coming home with us?"

"My current status isn't suitable for me to enter Rock City."

Rock City was where ordinary beasts lived. As a demon, it was easy for Sang Ye to cause a riot if he barged in.

Huanhuan knew that this was the case, but she could not bear to be separated from Sang Ye.

She held Sang Ye's hand tightly and asked eagerly, "Can't you hide your identity as a demon like before? As long as no one finds out, our family can continue to live together like before."

"Even if I pretend, there's a chance I'll be exposed. If it's known that you deliberately harbored a demon, you and Shuang Yun will be convicted. I don't want you to be implicated by me. After all, you've worked hard for a long time to get where you are today."

Huanhuan's tone was very firm. "We worked hard to become stronger so that we could live with our family. If we can't even protect our family, what's the use of having more power and territory?"

Sang Ye was a little moved.

Yun Hui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"If Sang Ye stays in Rock City, what will happen to the demons?"

He was the commander of the demons. If he was not in charge of the demons for a long time, the demons would definitely cause trouble again.

Without waiting for Sang Ye to speak, Huanhuan quickly said, "Sang Ye can stay in Rock City and return to the demon race every once in a while. He can work and have a family."

Yun Hui looked at Sang Ye meaningfully. "Won't you find it troublesome?"

Sang Ye looked down at Huanhuan and saw her looking at him eagerly, her eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.

The words of rejection surfaced in his mouth. When he finally spat them out, they became an affirmative answer.

"It won't be troublesome."

Huanhuan's eyes lit up. "So you agree to go back with us?!"

Sang Ye nodded. "Yes."

Huanhuan jumped up excitedly and hugged Sang Ye tightly. "That's great!"

Yun Hui opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Huanhuan's happy expression, he swallowed his words.

Forget it. He would let Huanhuan be happy for a while.

As for the trouble in the future, that would just wait and see.

At the same time, in the 10,000 Beast Temple thousands of miles away, the prophet was sitting in a dark bedroom with his eyes closed.

When a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, he suddenly opened his eyes.

His golden eyes glowed magnificently in the darkness.

The shell wind chimes at the door of the temple fluttered in the wind, making a crisp jingle.

Something had happened to Huanhuan…
