When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 790

Chapter 718 - 718 Choice

718 Choice

Bai Luo picked up the pills and took a closer look.

The black pills smelled strange. They didn’t smell bad, but they definitely weren’t fragrant.

“What are they for?”

Duan Jingshan said slowly, “The prophet only asked me to give these pills to Bai Di, but he didn’t say what they’re for. When I came, I was also thinking about the prophet’s intentions. From the looks of it, the prophet must have expected Bai Di to be injured and specially asked me to send the medicine over to save him.”

The prophet could predict the future. It wasn’t difficult to predict that Bai Di would be injured.

But Bai Luo still found it a little strange.

“The prophet is busy. Why did he specially ask you to send medicine to my brother for such a small matter?”

Although he felt that his second brother was very powerful, he also understood that his second brother should not be a particularly important person in the eyes of the prophet. There was no need for the prophet to go through so much trouble to send him here to deliver the medicine.

There had to be a reason that no one else knew.

“I don’t know. In any case, the prophet asked me to deliver the medicine. My mission is completed. It’s up to you now.”

Shuang Jing placed the wooden box in Bai Luo’s hand and turned to leave.

Bai Luo quickly stopped him. “Where are you going?”

“I’ve already handed the pills to you. Of course, I have to go back and report now.”

“Don’t you want to stay for a few more days? At least wait for my brother to wake up. If anything happens to him and you don’t manage to deliver the pills to him, will your mission still be considered a success?”

Shuang Jing stopped and thought about it seriously. “You’re right. I’ll wake Bai Di up now.”

“Huh? What are you doing?”

Shuang Jing returned to the bed. He took a small hide pouch from his sleeve and pulled it open. He took out a small ladybug from it, treating it like a treasure.

He carefully placed the ladybug on Bai Di.

The ladybug opened its mouth, revealed two teeth, and bit down.

Bai Di trembled, then opened his eyes. He was awake!

“Done!” Shuang Jing picked up the ladybug and put it back in the hide bag.

Bai Luo walked over quickly and looked at Bai Di nervously. “Second Brother, can you hear me?”

After a while, Bai Di gradually recovered and said in a dry voice, “Ah Luo, where am I?”

“You’re in the palace of Sun City. You fainted at the city gate. The guards carried you back.”

“Big White, Little White, and the others…”

“They’re fine. Don’t worry. I’ll call them over later.”

Bai Di moved his eyes and noticed Shuang Jing beside him. He immediately recognized him as one of the 12 divine guards. “Why are you here?” he asked.

Shuang Jing said, “I’m here on orders from the prophet to deliver something to you.”

Bai Luo immediately handed the small wooden box to Bai Di and opened the lid, revealing the three pills inside.

Bai Di asked, “What are they?”

Shuang Jing quickly took a step back. “Don’t ask me. I don’t know what they’re for. The prophet only asked me to give them to you. He didn’t say anything else.”

Bai Di looked at the pills in the box with a solemn expression.

He suddenly noticed that the bottom edge of the box was a little uneven.

With all his might, Bai Di endured the pain from his wound. With difficulty, he raised his claws, pushed aside the pills in the box, and lifted the bottom of the wooden box.

Bai Luo and Shuang Jing looked surprised.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the three pills, there was a small wooden tablet hidden in this box.

There were words written on it.

These were all orthodox ancient words of the beast world. They were completely different from the modern words Huanhuan had taught them.

Fortunately, Bai Di had studied ancient words before and could understand some of them.

He read the words on the wooden tablet and roughly understood what the prophet meant.

Bai Luo was very curious. “What does it say?”

“The words on this wooden tablet were engraved by the prophet. He said these three pills can save my life, but they might also kill me. The choice is in my own hands.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Luo immediately panicked. “How could they be fatal? Could it be that the pills are poisonous?”

Bai Di didn’t answer.

In addition to what he had just said, there were two lines on this small wooden tablet. There were a total of five pills. The prophet had once handed two pills to Bai Ming, who then transferred them to Xuan Wei.

The remaining three pills were now in this small box.

Back then, it was because Xuan Wei took these pills that his strength increased greatly. In the end, he successfully became one of the 12 divine guards. However, at the same time, his appearance was also destroyed. From then on, he could only wear armor.

Bai Di stared at the three pills in the box.

The prophet left the choice to him.

Which choice was the right one?

Bai Di couldn’t help but remember what Xuan Wei had said before he died. “I took a wrong step back then. Don’t follow my example in the future.”

‘Don’t follow his example?’

If he refused to take the medicine, no one but Huanhuan could save him with his current injuries.

However, Huanhuan was not by his side. Even if he used his space to write to her, she might not be able to receive the letter in a short time. It was very likely that he would have died before she could see the letter.

These three pills were his only hope now.

However, Xuan Wei’s words still rang in his ears.

One wrong step led to another…

The same choice might repeat itself decades later.

Was this a coincidence? Or was it fate?

Bai Di felt his thoughts drift. He couldn’t tell if he should move forward or retreat.

Bai Luo asked tentatively, “Second Brother, will you take the pill?”

After a long time, Bai Di said the heavy word.

“Yeah.”

He might die, but if he didn’t, he would definitely die. In that case, what was there to hesitate about? He had to take a risk!

“Come on,” Bai Di opened his mouth.

Bai Luo picked up a pill and hesitated for a long time before putting it into Bai Di’s mouth shakily.

The pill was made of some material and melted in his mouth. Before Bai Di could taste it, it disappeared into his mouth, down his throat, into his body, and into his internal organs.

Compared to Bai Di’s and Bai Luo’s nervousness, Shuang Jing didn’t feel burdened at all.

It didn’t matter to him if Bai Di was dead or alive.

He was only staying here out of curiosity after completing the mission. He wanted to see the magical effect of the pill given by the prophet.

Bai Luo asked carefully, “Second Brother, how do you feel? Do your wounds still hurt?”

Bai Di observed carefully.

A strange power flowed through his body, and the pain eased a lot.

It seemed that this medicine did have healing effects.

But not long after, Bai Di suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in his chest!

He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
