When Beauty Meets Beasts

Shuang Yun, Xue Ling, and the others played until noon.

"These are the clay pots you wanted."

Huanhuan said, "Put them on the ground. Come and eat."

It was rare that Shuang Jing did not come to freeload today. Huanhuan's family sat around the table. Shuang Yun said as he ate, "The first elder is tied outside the inner city gate and exposed to the sun. From the looks of it, he'll take at least three to four days to die."

Eggy looked up from the bowl and snorted. "Serves him right!"

He deserved to suffer for bullying her mother!

Xue Ling happily picked up a piece of meat for her. "My Eggy is so smart. I'll reward you with a piece of meat."

After eating and drinking her fill, Huanhuan went to fiddle with her clay pots.

Bai Di walked over and said that the second elder was here.

Huanhuan asked, "What is he doing here?"

"It must be regarding the matter of him being the high priest of the Sun God Temple."

If he hadn't said anything, Huanhuan would have forgotten about this.

She put down her work and washed her hands. "Let him come."

Bai Di turned to leave. Soon, the second elder arrived.

As soon as he saw Huanhuan, he immediately knelt down and bowed. His attitude was extremely respectful. "Greetings, Prophet. May you rule the world for generations!"

Huanhuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did his greeting sound like it came from a TV show?

She waved her hand. "Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Prophet."

The second elder stood up, but he still maintained a respectful and humble posture. "Now that the first elder has been sentenced, I'm afraid he won't live long. The Elders' Association is leaderless. I wonder who you're going to let take over the position of the first elder?"

In the Elders' Association, the person with the highest status was the first elder.

Now that the first elder had been sentenced to death, the second elder naturally had the highest status.

Huanhuan said, "I plan to break up the Elders' Association and rebuild it."

Hearing this, the second elder's expression changed drastically. He immediately said, "You can't do that!"

"Why not?"

"Ever since the establishment of the 10,000 Beast Temple, the Elders' Association has existed. Although there's scum like the first elder who's blinded by greed, most people are still loyal to the prophet. Instead of scattering and rebuilding the association, it's better to hold them in your hand and turn them into your own power. I have the puppet worms you're raising in my body, so I have to listen to your orders. This means you can trust me completely. If you can hand the Elders' Association to me, I'll definitely assist you wholeheartedly!"

"Your suggestion is good, but I've made up my mind." Huanhuan's expression was relaxed, but her tone was unquestionable. "Instead of worrying about these things, why don't you quickly pack your bags and prepare to take up a position in the Sun God Temple?"

The second elder's current target was the first elder. How could a mere position as the high priest of a mid-level beast city temple satisfy him?!

He wanted to say more, but Huanhuan was no longer interested in listening.

"I'm a little tired. I have to rest. You can go back first."

Faced with her order to leave, the second elder was indignant, but in the end, he could only leave resentfully.

It couldn't be helped. After all, he still had puppet worms in his body.

There was no way he could disobey her.

After the second elder left, Huanhuan did not rest. She got someone to call Shuang Yun over.

As soon as Shuang Yun saw her, he picked her up and placed her on his lap. He asked sweetly, "Why are you looking for me?"

"The second elder came to me just now to talk about the Elders' Association."

Shuang Yun's mind was filled with the little female's soft body. He barely spared a thought to listen to her and asked casually, "And?"

"I've decided to break up the Elders' Association."

"Mhm."

Huanhuan turned to look at him, her lips sliding across his mouth. "Aren't you surprised?"

Shuang Yun took the opportunity to kiss her. "What's there to be surprised about? Over the years, the Elders' Association has only done a few good things and a lot of bad things. Now, while the first elder has just been executed and those old guys are still afraid of you, we'll kill them all to prevent future trouble."

Hearing his words, Huanhuan was relieved. "I'll get Leng Xiao to handle this later."

As the leader of the 12 divine guards, Leng Xiao only followed the orders of the prophet. It was most suitable for him to lead the divine guards to attack the Elders' Association.

Huanhuan asked, "There's something else."

"What?"

"I've become the prophet now, so the position of high priest of the Rock Temple is empty. We have to choose someone else to take over as high priest."

She suddenly remembered this when she was talking to the second elder.

Shuang Yun said that these things were up to her. He would listen to her.

Huanhuan thought about it seriously. "If the Divine Wood clan hadn't betrayed me, I might have chosen Xue Hui to take over. Unfortunately…"

"They asked for it. They're ambitious but don't know their place. They brought this upon themselves."

Huanhuan sighed and did not mention the Divine Wood clan again.

"I want Dong Ya to take over as high priest."

Dong Ya? Shuang Yun tried to remember him. "The patriarch of the rabbit tribe?"

After the leader of the rabbit tribe died, Dong Ya inherited the position.

Huanhuan nodded and said yes.

In Shuang Yun's impression, Dong Ya was just a brat. He was small and especially liked to eat carrots and cabbage. However, he was really loyal to Huanhuan. Moreover, he learned a lot of medicine from her.

Thinking about it, he was indeed quite suitable to take over as high priest.

Shuang Yun quickly made a decision. "Dong Ya it is."

"I'll get Jian Yi to send two divine servants to Rock City later to announce the matter of Dong Ya taking over as high priest."

Shuang Yun's claws dug into her clothes, and his tone was ambiguous. "Now that we're done talking, shouldn't we do something…"

Before he could finish, he screamed.

Damn!

It hurt!

Shuang Yun quickly pulled his hand away and realized that the back of his hand had been bitten by a snake.

Huanhuan immediately jumped to the ground and took out Clement from under her clothes. She frowned and scolded, "Didn't I tell you not to bite people?!"

Clement groaned.

Who asked that plate of meat to touch her? He had to bite him!

The python's fangs were poisonous. Shuang Yun felt dizzy, and his face quickly turned pale.

Huanhuan bit her finger and smeared blood on his wound.

A moment later, Shuang Yun's dizziness gradually disappeared. He covered his wound and glared at Clement while gritting his teeth. "Just you wait. I'll teach you a lesson in the future!"

Clement wrapped himself around his mother's wrist and turned to stick out his snake tongue at Shuang Yun. "Hiss~"

'Come on, I'm not afraid of you!'

Although the poison had been cured, Huanhuan still let Shuang Yun rest for a while.

Shuang Yun left reluctantly.

Huanhuan picked Clement up and placed him on the ground. "I told you not to bite anyone. Since you didn't listen to me, don't follow me anymore. Go away."
