600 The Crystal Of Love
After knowing that Huanhuan was going to sell the gold mine, the dwarves and gnomes were all tempted.
A precious gold mine was a huge wealth to any tribe. If it was operated properly, it could even ensure that a generation of their tribe would not have to worry about food and clothing!
However, the price of buying a gold mine was not small. Whether it was the dwarves or the gnomes, they were a little uneasy about purchasing it.
Even so, Archie and Elman approached Huanhuan to ask her about the cost of buying the gold mine.
Huanhuan was in a hurry to leave the dawn continent. Coupled with her previous friendship with the gnomes and dwarves, she specially relaxed the price of her request. “Offer me everything you can. I’ll make a decision according to the situation.”
Early the next morning, Archie and Elman came to knock on the door of Huanhuan’s residence, each carrying a large bulging bag.
Shuang Yun opened the door and saw no one.
“We’re here!” Elman jumped up and hit him on the knee.
Shuang Yun looked down and saw a dwarf and a green-skinned gnome standing at the door.
Shuang Yun was more than 1.9 meters tall. Even though Archie and Elman tried to straighten their backs and raise their chins, they still couldn’t see Shuang Yun’s entire face.
The problem of their height was an eternal pain in the hearts of dwarves and gnomes.
They said they were here to look for Huanhuan.
Shuang Yun turned around. “Come in and sit down first. Huanhuan just woke up and is still washing up.”
This house was custom-made. The roof was high and just right for beasts, but it was too high for the dwarves and gnomes.
They walked into the house on their short legs and sat on the special low stools.
Shuang Yun was very interested in these two little guys who were not even as tall as his knees. He placed a plate of washed fruits in front of them and said, “These are all fruits we brought from our hometown. Try them.”
Archie and Elman didn’t stand on ceremony with him. They grabbed the fruits and ate them. They were unexpectedly sweet.
Shuang Yun looked them up and down. “Why are you so short? Is it because you didn’t have enough to eat?”
Archie immediately defended himself loudly. “We dwarves are naturally intelligent. The things we make sell well in the dawn continent. How could we not have had enough to eat? On the other hand, some green-skinned people often starve because they can’t find work. Perhaps they’re short and thin because their stomachs are always empty.”
Toward the end, he deliberately glanced at the green-skinned gnome beside him.
Elman finished his fruit and wiped his mouth. “We’re short so that it’s easier to dig holes and build houses. Unlike you guys, who are short and fat. You look like stupid balls.”
“Who are you calling stupid?!”
“Whoever’s the one responding!”
…
Seeing that the two little guys were about to argue, Shuang Yun tapped the table to attract their attention. He said, “It might not be good to be too tall. Look at those giants. They’re tall and big, but they’re extremely stupid. They’re also very slow. It takes them a while to react when they’re hit.”
The topic immediately won the unanimous approval of Archie and Elman, who echoed enthusiastically, “That’s right, that’s right! Those giants are stupid. Other than being thick-skinned and strong, they’re basically useless!”
Huanhuan got dressed and walked out of the room. She was surprised to see Shuang Yun chatting enthusiastically with the two little guys.
“What are you talking about? You’re chatting so happily.”
As soon as they saw her, Archie and Elman stood up and looked at her expectantly.
Huanhuan walked over. Shuang Yun scooped her up with his long arms and placed her on his lap.
He said, “We’re talking about the giants.”
“Oh.”
Elman said eagerly, “Madam Huanhuan, I’ve already brought the things. Shall I show them to you now?”
Archie was a step behind and was annoyed. “I brought a lot of things over too,” he said quickly. “See if there’s anything you like.”
Huanhuan waved her hand. “There’s no hurry. Let’s eat breakfast first. Have you eaten breakfast? If you haven’t, stay and eat with us.”
Archie and Elman were very envious of the food at Huanhuan’s house. Hearing her invitation, they agreed quickly without hesitation. “Okay!”
Xue Ling got up too.
He walked out of the room slowly. His fiery red robe was as dazzling as flames. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked even more ostentatious.
Archie and Elman looked at him curiously as it was the first time they saw him.
Xue Ling walked to Huanhuan’s side. He leaned against her, clinging to her. “I had a nightmare last night.”
“Oh?”
“I dreamed that Eggy was snatched away. I was so scared.” Xue Ling blinked, looking especially aggrieved. “Sleep with me tonight. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep.”
Huanhuan agreed readily. “Sure.”
Xue Ling was especially happy. He leaned forward and kissed her cheek. “Then I’ll be waiting for you tonight~”
Shuang Yun pushed him away with a dark expression. “With your strength, who would dare to steal Eggy? Stop pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy. Huanhuan wants to sleep with me tonight!”
Xue Ling glanced at him. “Huanhuan and I are having fun. What do you know, dog?”
Shuang Yun immediately exploded. “You flashy bird man, who are you calling a dog?!”
Xue Ling had never been soft-hearted when facing his competitors. “If you’re not a dog, what are you? You only know how to pretend to be stupid in front of Huanhuan. You’re a pervert.”
Shuang Yun sneered. “You make it sound like you’re innocent. If you’re really fresh and refined, how did you get Eggy in your arms?”
Xue Ling touched Eggy in his arms and smiled happily. “This is the fruit of my love with Huanhuan.”
Seeing this, Shuang Yun rubbed the back of Huanhuan’s neck. “I really miss Big Goody, Dos, Tres, and Little Goody!”
Huanhuan stroked his head. “We’ll go back when we find Little Black.”
Elman and Archie watched the interaction between the three of them and found it novel.
In the dawn continent, almost all of them were monogamous. They had never seen polygamy. They had heard of the polygamous system of the beasts before, but they had never seen it.
Today was an eye-opener for them.
The short-haired silver-haired beast in front of them was fighting with the red-robed beast. They did not give in to each other. It seemed that their relationship was very tense.
Elman and Archie thought they would argue.
Unexpectedly, the two just bickered with each other for a while before changing the topic. The hostility disappeared.
This way of getting along was quite interesting!
Bai Di had made breakfast. He made a thick soup made of big bones and chicken dumplings. When Huanhuan took a bite, she thought the chicken was tender and the soup was fragrant. It was so delicious that she wished she could devour everything.
Archie and Elman had never eaten delicious food before. Ignoring the fact that their mouths were burning, they stuffed dumplings into their mouths.
After eating and drinking their fill, Elman and Archie fought to present their treasures. They took out everything they had brought for Huanhuan to choose from.
