When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 410: Don’t Worry About Me

Huanhuan couldn’t be bothered with them anymore. She strode to the wooden box and focused on choosing the herbs.

She took out all the herbs she knew and placed them in a hide bag she carried with her.

The five witch doctors dragged their injured bodies back to the wooden box. As long as they approached Huanhuan a little, the green vine would sway in front of them. They were so frightened that they quickly retreated, not even daring to come close to Huanhuan.

This little female looked small and easy to bully, but at this moment, the five of them did not dare to underestimate her anymore. They carefully kept their distance from her.

Witch doctors knew a lot about people and herbs, but it was too inconvenient to travel in this era. They rarely traveled, so their knowledge was very limited. The number of herbs they knew was actually very limited.

They picked for a while, and each of them only picked out a dozen herbs they knew. On the other hand, Lin Huanhuan’s hide pouch was already bulging with herbs.

This female had almost stuffed most of the earthy herbs into her hide!

Jiang Bo couldn’t help but mock, “Do you really know all these herbs? Don’t ask me what they’re called later. It’ll be funny if you can’t answer.”

Huanhuan continued to pick the herbs seriously and said without looking up, “Just mind your own business and stop worrying about me. If you continue to stare at me like this, I’ll misunderstand that you like me.”

Jiang Bo’s face turned green and red. “Unless I’m blind, I’ll never like you!”

“Don’t get triggered. I was just joking. You’re reacting so strongly. You’re making it seem like what I just said was true. People will misunderstand.”

“You!”

Huanhuan tightened her hide bag. “I’m done picking.”

Without looking at Jiang Bo, she walked away with the animal hide bag.

Jiang Bo had nowhere to vent his anger, and his expression became even uglier.

When First Elder saw Jiang Bo being rebuked, he felt deeply sympathetic. Back then, he had also been rebuked by her like this, so he knew better than anyone how powerful Lin Huanhuan’s mouth was. She could make others exasperated, but they still couldn’t say a word.

After the five witch doctors had chosen their herbs, First Elder asked them to put them out.

Huanhuan pulled open the animal hide bag and poured out all the herbs inside. The herbs piled up into a small mountain in front of her.

All the beasts present looked at her again with very surprised gazes.

Huanhuan noticed everyone’s gaze. At first, she didn’t understand what was going on. Then, she glanced at the herbs in front of the other five witch doctors. Compared to the mountain of herbs in front of her, their small piles were nothing.

Indeed, there was no harm without comparison!

She blinked. “I’m sorry. I was faster and chose more. Why don’t I share some with you?”

The five witch doctors looked at her blankly, indicating that they didn’t need to.

Even if she gave them a portion of the herbs, it would be useless if they didn’t recognize them.

Jiang Bo gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t puff yourself up at your own cost. I don’t believe a little female like you can recognize so many herbs!”

Huanhuan asked, “What will you do if I recognize all of them?”

“I’ll eat all these herbs!”

Huanhuan clapped her hands and smiled happily. “You said it yourself. If you go back on your word, you have to kneel down and call me ‘Daddy’ three times!”

“Sure!”

In any case, Jiang Bo was certain that Huanhuan would not be able to recognize so many herbs, so he agreed readily and waited to see her make a fool of herself.

One by one, the six witch doctors reported the names of the herbs they had chosen. The elders of the association would personally confirm if they were correct.

Soon, the witch doctors were done talking. The person who named the most herbs was Jiang Bo.

Finally, it was Huanhuan’s turn. She squatted down and casually picked up a small golden flower. “This is a golden willow flower.

“This is a flowing water stone.

“This is mountain mustard.

“Shellfish grass.

“Sand root.”

…

Every time she named something, the elders would look at the plant in her hand. Some herbs were so rare that even they didn’t recognize them. They could only take out the goatskin scroll that was treasured in the temple. It recorded many herbs.

They compared the answers one by one and realized that Huanhuan was right.

When she finished saying the names of all the herbs in front of her, an envoy in charge of registration immediately said, “There are a total of 314 herbs.”

The elders were stunned.

She got all 314 herbs correct.

How did this little female know so much about herbs? Where did she learn it?!

Facing everyone’s shocked and probing gazes, Huanhuan smiled and asked, “If I’m not wrong, I should have won this competition, right?”

First Elder really did not want to admit that she had won, but the results were obvious. He could not lie through his teeth. He could only pull a long face and say angrily, “You win.”

Huanhuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with this old man. She turned to look at Jiang Bo and raised her eyebrows. “I won.”

Jiang Bo’s expression was as dark as water. “I’m not deaf. I heard everything First Elder said.”

“I got all 314 herbs right. You should fulfill the bet now and eat all these herbs, right?”

Jiang Bo: “…”

Many of these herbs were poisonous. If he ate them all, he would foam at the mouth and die on the spot.

He already looked very uncomfortable before even eating them.

Huanhuan deliberately provoked him. “Don’t tell me you’re going back on your word?”

Jiang Bo clenched his fists. Due to extreme anger and unwillingness, the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

He strode aggressively toward Huanhuan.

Huanhuan quickly retreated and stared at him warily. “It’s fine if you want to go back on your word, but are you going to hit a female as well?”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Bo knelt down. “Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!”

Huanhuan: “…”

After shouting, Jiang Bo immediately stood up and turned to leave.

When Huanhuan came back to her senses, Jiang Bo was already far away. However, she could still see his ugly face clearly.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but laugh. “I never dreamed that I would have a son who’s older than me.”

Jiang Bo exuded a strong low pressure.

If not for the sake of fighting for the chance to upgrade to a mid-level beast city, he would have left long ago. He would not have forced himself to stay and be bullied by that little female!

After being interrupted by Jiang Bo, the shock of Huanhuan recognizing more than 300 herbs in one go was washed away.

Everyone focused their attention back on the results of the competition.
