765 Hidden
Huanhuan pinched her nose. This place was terrible.
The others were used to this.
Not every tribe was as hygienic as the Rock Wolf Tribe. Most beasts did not have the consciousness to be hygienic at all. Even the Rock Wolf Tribe only learned to be hygienic under Huanhuan’s guidance.
In fact, the scene in front of them was the most common situation in beast tribes.
There were no inns in the tribe. Shuang Jing found a spacious place and called for everyone to clean up the dirt on the ground. Then, he took out his carry-on luggage and began to build a tent.
The beast soldiers were all elites who had undergone special training. They were quite fast at setting up tents. In a short while, they had set up more than 20 tents neatly.
Each tent would shelter two beasts.
Huanhuan was feeling too hot and couldn’t be bothered to share a tent with Bai Di. After the tent was set up, she couldn’t wait to crawl into it and hide.
Bai Di took a clay pot and some ice from his space.
These ice cubes were all made by Shuang Yun and were stored in the space as backup.
Now, they benefited from it.
The ice was placed in a clay pot. The cold air spread, lowering the temperature in the tent.
Huanhuan took off her shoes and coat. She was only wearing a thin shark silk dress. She sat cross-legged beside the ice and narrowed her eyes. “It’s comfortable!”
Clement lay beside the ice-filled clay pot, his little tail wagging. He was especially relaxed.
Bai Di cut two sweet fruits and mixed the crushed ice into them to make fruit smoothies.
“Have some of this to cool down.”
Huanhuan took a bite. The cold feeling flowed down her esophagus and into her internal organs. It was so great that she felt as if she was about to ascend to heaven!
“Delicious!” Huanhuan scooped up a large spoonful of smoothie and brought it to Bai Di’s mouth. “You eat too!”
Bai Di opened his mouth and ate it.
Clement raised his head and stared at the fruit smoothie in the bowl, his small eyes shining.
It looked delicious…
Huanhuan fed him a bite.
After eating the smoothie, it was as if Clement had opened the door to a new world. This cold thing was delicious!
He didn’t want to snatch his mother’s food, so he pestered Bai Di for a smoothie.
Bai Di made another large bowl of fruit smoothie and placed it in front of him.
“You can only eat one bowl a day. If you eat too much, your stomach will hurt.”
How could Clement care so much? He opened his mouth and ate the entire bowl of fruit smoothie.
After eating, he looked at Bai Di eagerly. He wanted more…
Bai Di ignored his plea. After Huanhuan finished the smoothie in her bowl, he took the empty bowl to wash it. He had no intention of making any more smoothies.
There was only one bowl, nothing more!
Clement was especially angry that he couldn’t eat the smoothie he wanted. In the past, he would have swallowed Bai Di.
However, his mother was watching from the side. He didn’t dare do so. He could only slither back and lie on the edge of the clay jar. He silently recalled the taste of the smoothie.
If he had known this would happen, he would have eaten it slower and savored the smoothie…
After the sun set, the sky quickly darkened.
However, the arrival of Huanhuan and the others still attracted the attention of many beasts in the Blazing Flame Tribe. Although the Blazing Flame Tribe was a large tribe, it was rare for so many beasts to come at once. Some sharp beasts realized that those wolf beasts were well-trained. They were clearly trained beast soldiers.
Someone who could bring beast soldiers could only be from a beast city.
Soon, someone spread the news to the canine tribe’s leader.
Shuang Jing came through the curtain.
“Lady Huanhuan, Leng Xiao is here.”
Huanhuan quickly put on her coat. “Let him in.”
A moment later, the curtain was lifted, and a tall male beast strode in.
He was wearing a short hide shirt, cotton pants, and leather boots. The hem of his pants was tucked into his boots, and a hide bag was hanging on his waist.
From his appearance alone, he looked very ordinary. He was the kind of person who could not be spotted in a crowd.
But he had very beautiful eyes.
Those eyes instantly made his ordinary face look much better.
It was difficult to imagine that this ordinary-looking beast was the strongest divine guard in the legends, Leng Xiao.
When Leng Xiao walked in, a gust of cold air hit him.
He couldn’t help but stop in his tracks. His gaze swept across the ice-filled clay jar in the corner. He couldn’t help but wonder where they had gotten ice in this hot summer.
Clement, who was lying beside the clay jar, looked up and glanced lazily at Leng Xiao.
Bai Di sat quietly behind Huanhuan.
Leng Xiao knelt on one knee. “Greetings, Lady Huanhuan.”
Under normal circumstances, Leng Xiao rarely knelt even when facing the prophet. However, this was the first time he had seen Lin Huanhuan. In order to show respect, he still knelt down.
Huanhuan raised her hand. “Stand up and talk.”
Leng Xiao stood up and glanced at Huanhuan.
At this moment, she was not wearing her veiled hat. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was completely revealed. Any male beast who saw her face would be involuntarily attracted.
However, Leng Xiao’s gaze did not linger on her.
He looked away at the carpet in front of her. “I’m Leng Xiao.”
Huanhuan said slowly, “I’ve already been informed about you. Please guide me in the future.”
“You flatter me.”
Huanhuan asked him why he wanted to meet in the Blazing Flame Tribe.
Leng Xiao said, “The Elders’ Association already knows that the prophet left the 10,000 Beast Temple. They’re trying to find evidence that the prophet isn’t in the 10,000 Beast Temple. Once they find evidence, I’m afraid many things will happen.”
“I’ve discussed this with Shuang Jing before. I want to send someone to keep an eye on the Elders’ Association. Once they do anything out of line, capture them and lock them up. After I help the prophet wake up, I’ll go back and deal with them. You’re more familiar with the divine guards. Arrange for a suitable divine guard to keep an eye on them later.”
“I understand.”
“Is there anything else?”
“The news of Wen Qian’s death has spread to the City of 10,000 Beasts. The Elders’ Association is very unhappy with you and Bai Di.”
Huanhuan smiled. “They’re probably more than just unhappy. They probably even want to kill me.”
Leng Xiao did not speak, which was a tacit agreement.
“I like it when they can’t stand me but can’t get rid of me.”
Leng Xiao: “…”
“Do what you have to do. Everything will go on as usual. I won’t interfere too much with you divine guards. Just be obedient.”
“Alright.”
“If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”
“Goodbye.”
Leng Xiao turned around and walked out of the tent.
The curtain fell back down, and his footsteps quickly faded.
Huanhuan curled her finger at Clement. Clement immediately wrapped himself around her wrist and stuck out his snake tongue to lick her palm.
She gently stroked the snake’s head. “What do you think of Leng Xiao?”
Bai Di gave a three-word evaluation.
“He’s hiding something.”
