When Beauty Meets Beasts

565 Separate

After breakfast, Murphy said to Huanhuan, “I’ll take you somewhere today.”

Huanhuan opened her big curious eyes. “Where?”

Murphy smiled and deliberately kept her in suspense. “You’ll know when you get there.”

As soon as the two of them went out, they saw an elf guard walking over. He bowed slightly to Murphy. “Her Majesty invites you over.”

!!

Murphy frowned. “Now?”

“Yes. Her Majesty said she has something to discuss with you. Please go over now.”

“Did Mother say what it was about?”

“I’m sorry, but Her Majesty didn’t say.”

Murphy didn’t ask any more questions. He turned to look at Huanhuan, his beautiful emerald eyes apologetic. “It seems I can’t take you to that place today.”

Huanhuan didn’t care. “It’s okay. It’s the same if we go another day.”

“If you’re bored in the house, you can wander around, but don’t go far in case you get lost.”

“I know.”

Murphy reminded her of the things she needed to pay attention to. Her nagging reminded Huanhuan of Bai Di. In the past, every time Bai Di separated from her, he liked to explain everything in detail, afraid that something would happen to her.

Sigh, she missed Bai Di and the others…

Huanhuan sighed silently in her heart.

Murphy followed the elf guard and left. Huanhuan watched them go.

She walked down the vine stairs and encountered some elves on the way. They always looked at her with disgust.

Clearly, after last night’s banquet, everyone knew that a female beast had come to Elven God Mountain.

To the elves, beasts were dirty and stupid.

The elves disdained being associated with beasts.

Huanhuan completely ignored the gazes on her and strolled alone on the mountain.

She’d already seen the stone slab in the space. Bai Di said they’d reached the dawn continent and were on their way to Elven God Mountain. She was sure their family would be reunited soon.

Thinking of this, Huanhuan was especially happy.

As for the bad mood brought about by the banquet yesterday, she had long forgotten about it.

…

Murphy walked into the palace and bowed to the Elven Queen. “Mother.”

The Elven Queen was sitting on a bench of interwoven vines. On the wooden table in front of her were several scrolls made of bark. She put them down and waved at Murphy. “Come and sit down.”

Murphy walked over and sat on the stump opposite her.

His gaze swept across the wooden table, and he saw that the scrolls were all about the beast continent.

It seemed that she had specially called him over for Huanhuan’s matter.

As expected, the Elven Queen asked, “Did you sleep with that female beast last night?”

Murphy answered frankly, “Yes.”

“Have you already done it?”

The Elven Queen’s words were a little vague, but Murphy understood what his mother meant. He lowered his eyes. “No. We just slept in the same bed. We didn’t do anything.”

There was no need to lie about such things. If they had already done it, their bodies would definitely be covered with each other’s smell. As long as one sniffed carefully, one would definitely be able to smell it.

The Elven Queen seemed to heave a sigh of relief. “That’s good. As long as you haven’t done it, there’s still room for negotiation.”

“I don’t understand what you mean.”

“I mean, you can separate.”

Murphy frowned, but his good upbringing didn’t let him argue immediately. Instead, he asked patiently, “Can you tell me the reason?”

“She’s a beast. These are all records of beasts.” The Elven Queen tapped the table, indicating that her son should take a look at the scrolls.

After she returned to her bedroom last night, she had been thinking about the beasts and had not slept all night.

She woke up before dawn today and asked someone to find the scrolls in the reading room.

She had read all the scrolls and knew that as long as beasts mated, they would form a mate contract. This contract would restrain the male beasts and make them submit to the females. They could only be with the females for the rest of their lives.

The Elven Queen looked at Murphy. Her son was so outstanding. How could he submit to someone else? She would never allow this to happen!

Murphy didn’t touch the scrolls. “I’ve read all the scrolls in the reading room before. I still remember what’s recorded in these scrolls. I don’t need to read them again.”

“Then you should know how unfair a mate contract between beasts is to men!”

“Love isn’t a deal. A deal needs to be fair. Love only needs to be willing.”

The Elven Queen couldn’t understand. “You’re willing to submit to someone else? Where’s your pride and self-esteem as an elf?”

“You lost your love because you were too proud.”

The Elven Queen stiffened, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly hid it. She raised her exquisite chin and said firmly, “Even if you’re willing to degrade yourself, I can’t allow my son to degrade himself like this.”

Murphy was very calm. “I’m an adult. You have no right to ask about my love life again.”

“No matter how old you are, you’ll always be my son. As a mother, I have to help you get rid of that female beast so that you don’t lose yourself.”

Murphy looked at her steadily. “You’ve already ruined your own happiness. Do you still want to ruin your son’s happiness now?”

“I’m doing this for your own good! I’m your mother. No one in this world loves you more than me!”

Murphy shook his head. “No, you only love yourself.”

The Elven Queen was shocked. “Is that what you think of me?”

Murphy knew in her heart that if this topic continued, it would definitely hurt his mother.

He stood up. “I won’t leave Huanhuan. If you’re unwilling to wish us well, I’ll leave with her and never come back.”

“Are you threatening me?” The Elven Queen was furious.

She was thinking of what was best for her son with all her heart, but her son was actually willing to fall out with her for a dirty female beast.

This made her heart turn cold!

Murphy looked back at her in neither a servile nor overbearing manner. “I’m just making my decision.”

Seeing his stubborn appearance, the Elven Queen couldn’t help but think of his father. She couldn’t help but feel even more annoyed. She raised her hand and swept the scrolls on the table to the ground. “Get lost! Pretend I never gave birth to a son like you!”

Murphy bowed slightly. “Goodbye.”

He turned to leave.

But before he could reach the door, he felt a pain in the back of his neck!

His vision went black, and he fainted.

The Elven Queen retracted the hand she used to knock him out and ordered someone to carry him to the bed.

She gently stroked Murphy’s cheek and said slowly, “Don’t blame me for being ruthless. I just want to protect you.

Murphy’s eyes were closed. He didn’t move.

The Elven Queen turned around and instructed the elf guard, “Call Lin Huanhuan over.”

“Alright.”
