Huanhuan quickly asked, “Can you let Bai Di go now?”

“Of course.” Bi Huan’s expression was kind. “Bai Di is in the guest room on the first floor below. I want to talk to Huanhuan for a while. Elder Xue Ling, you can go look for Bai Di. When we’re done, Huanhuan, you can follow them back. Is that okay?”

Huanhuan looked at Xue Ling for his opinion.

Xue Ling pinched her chin. “I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

“Okay.”

After Xue Ling left, Bi Huan found an excuse and sent Xue Hui away.

Only Bi Huan and Huanhuan were left.

Bi Huan stood up and walked into the next room with his walking stick. After a while, he brought out a glass of fruit dew and gently placed it in front of Huanhuan.

He smiled. “Didn’t you say you liked my fruit dew last time? I specially made it for you. Try it.”

The pink drink, with a small flower in the mouth of the glass, looked very cute.

Huanhuan pulled up her veil slightly and lowered her head to take a sip. It was still as sour and sweet as the last time.

Bi Huan asked, “Does it taste good?”

“It’s good.”

“Then finish it. Don’t waste it.”

“Okay.”

Huanhuan raised the glass and drank the entire glass of fruit dew.

Bi Huan’s smile deepened. “What an obedient child.”

She put down the empty cup and looked at him with her watery eyes. “You said you have something to tell me. What is it?”

“Actually, ever since you arrived in the Divine Wood City, I’ve been wanting to talk to you about your past. After all, you’re also a member of our Divine Wood clan. I want to know about the environment you were in in the past and what your parents and family are like. I want to know more about you.”

Huanhuan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. “My parents passed away long ago.”

Seeing that she was calm but the nostalgia and sadness in her eyes were real, Bi Huan apologized.

“You didn’t do anything wrong. There’s no need to apologize.”

Bi Huan asked, “In that case, have you always lived alone? If that’s the case, it mustn’t have been easy for you. It’s very difficult for a female to survive in the dangerous beast continent.”

Huanhuan smiled. “It was tough. Fortunately, I met Bai Di and the others. Now that I have them, my life is getting better.”

Bi Huan looked at her. “Aren’t you going to stay in Divine Wood City?”

“I’d still like to go back to the rock mountain to live.”

“You’re still young. I think you should think about it for a while longer before making a decision. Divine Wood City is definitely a more suitable place for you to live in than the rock mountain. There’s the divine tree guarding this place. Everyone will be good to you. You’ll be peaceful and rich. You’ll never have to worry about being hurt again.”

Huanhuan scratched her head and smiled shyly. “I appreciate the offer. Divine Wood City is indeed a good place, but I still prefer the rock mountain.”

“Why must you be at the rock mountain?”

“Because my family is there. I’ll be wherever they are.”

Bi Huan said, “Stay here and live. Find a few outstanding male beast mates here to have children with. Your family will be here in the future.”

Huanhuan quickly waved her hand. “My four mates are enough.”

“The more mates a female has, the better. Especially one as cute as you. There’ll be plenty of good male beasts willing to court you. Even Bai Di and Xue Ling have no right to stop you from looking for more mates.”

Huanhuan smiled shyly. “I think Bai Di and the other three are already very outstanding. I love them very much, and they love me. I’m very happy now. I don’t need to find a few more male beasts as they’ll only interrupt this harmony we have going on.”

Bi Huan said a lot, but Huanhuan insisted on not changing her mind.

She looked petite and weak, which made her seem easy to talk to. In fact, as long as it involved her family, she would become extremely opinionated.

In the end, Bi Huan could only smile bitterly. “Alright, since you insist on leaving, I can’t stop you.”

Huanhuan was very embarrassed. “I’m sorry for letting you down.”

“It doesn’t matter. Everyone has the right to choose their own life.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

Huanhuan estimated that it was about time and got up to leave.

However, as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and her vision blurred.

Bi Huan asked, “What’s wrong?”

“My head… I’m a little dizzy…”

“Really? Then sit down and rest for a while.”

Huanhuan fell back onto the stool involuntarily. She supported her head with both hands. Heavy sleepiness swept over her, and her eyelids kept drooping as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

She pinched her thigh hard, trying to clear her mind.

Bi Huan asked, “You look tired. Do you want to sleep for a while? There’s a bed next door. You can lie down.”

“No, I want to go back…”

But before she could finish, she closed her eyes, collapsed on the table, and fell asleep.

Bi Huan stood up and looked down at her.

The lotus lying on Huanhuan’s head sensed danger. It suddenly rushed out, opened its petals, bared its fangs, and pounced at Bi Huan!

But before it could touch Bi Huan, it was tightly entangled by the vines on the wall.

The vines on the wall were like countless green snakes that kept wriggling. They wrapped around the lotus tightly, not giving it any chance to break free.

Countless small vines grew out of the walking stick in Bi Huan’s hand and wrapped around Huanhuan.

The lotus bared its teeth. “Let go of my mother!”

Bi Huan didn’t even look at it. He brought Huanhuan into the next room and closed the door.

The room was spacious. Qian Ye was sitting on the bed, fiddling with a small hourglass.

He was surprised to see Bi Huan bring Huanhuan in. “Why did you bring this child here?”

Bi Huan controlled the vines and placed Huanhuan on the bed.

He said, “I suspect the kid has a secret.”

“What secret?”

“It’s regarding the Divine Wood seed.”

Qian Ye’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Hasn’t the Divine Wood already withered? How can there be more Divine Wood seeds?!”

“I don’t know what’s going on, but I can feel that there’s a very strong Divine Wood aura on this child,” Bi Huan said unhurriedly. “The last time I saw her, the aura on her was stronger than that of an ordinary Divine Wood. At that time, I was a little suspicious of her. Later, I used the dream control technique to enter her dream and try to test her. However, my plan was disrupted by a strange force. When I saw her again today, I realized that the Divine Wood aura on her has become even stronger. There’s definitely something wrong.”

Qian Ye asked, “What do you want to do?”

“Use the Dream Control technique again and see what her relationship with the Divine Wood is.”
