When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 136: Disappointed

Red Crystal City, one of the six lower cities, was famous for producing red crystals.

It was located in the Red Stone Canyon. This place used to be a very huge red crystal mine. The beasts mined crystal ores here and gradually formed a small city.

Now, the crystals in the mineral vein had been dug up, but Red Crystal City was left behind and gradually developed to its current state.

A huge red crystal ore stood at the city gate.

This was the first time Huanhuan had seen such a large red crystal. Her eyes widened as she stared at it for a long time.

Such a large crystal must be very valuable!

However, Xue Ling was not interested in the red crystal ore. He said, “Although it’s big, the fire attribute energy it contains is very low. Even if sell it, it won’t be worth much.”

Otherwise, the city lord of Red Crystal City would not have been willing to put it at the city gate.

Huanhuan heard the word ‘attribute’ for the first time.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Do crystals have attributes?”

“Of course, red crystals contain fire attribute energy. Soul beasts of the same fire attribute can absorb the fire attribute energy in red crystals.”

Seeing that the little female was very interested in this, Xue Ling introduced the other crystals.

“Green crystals contain the wood attribute, yellow crystals contain the metal attribute, blue crystals contain the water attribute, purple crystals contain the lightning attribute, and orange crystals contain earth attribute. In addition, there are black crystals and golden crystals. They’re of the dark and light attributes respectively. These two crystals are the rarest and most expensive.”

......

Huanhuan couldn’t help but touch the black crystal pendant hanging on her chest.

This was given to her by Sang Ye. She originally thought that it was no different from other colored crystals, but now, it seemed that it was very precious.

She hid it in her clothes, not planning to show it again in case it was stolen.

Bai Di transformed into his human form. He took out a large hide cloak he had sewn himself and wrapped it around Huanhuan, revealing only her large, sparkling eyes.

She was too attractive. Bai Di didn’t want her targeted by other male beasts.

Bai Di picked her up with one hand and sat her on his arm. “We’ll rest here for the night,” he said gently. “We’ll continue tomorrow morning.”

Huanhuan replied obediently, “Okay.”

Xue Ling had already retracted his huge wings, but his fiery red robe and the bright red crystals on his body still made him exude the aura of a tycoon. It was difficult not to notice him.

There was a team of guards at the city gate.

They were all strong male beasts with bulging muscles. Their auras were rather terrifying.

Huanhuan realized that they were all soul beasts. The highest level was two stars, while the rest were one stars.

As expected of a beast city. Even the guards were soul beasts. How extravagant!

All beasts who entered the city had to be examined.

Usually, only two types of beasts were qualified to enter the city—those who had the clearance scroll or were soul beasts.

Of course, if you were a female, you wouldn’t need either of the above conditions. The door to any beast city would always be open to females.

Bai Di and Xue Ling were both soul beasts, and they were not weak. The guards guarding the city opened the door and let them in respectfully.

They had finally entered a legendary beast city. Huanhuan’s heart was filled with anticipation and excitement!

However, the actual situation disappointed her—

The city was bigger than expected. There were houses made of stone on both sides of the street, but because they were not built properly, they looked strange.

Huanhuan was even a little worried. Could these houses be lived in? What if they collapsed?!

The hygiene on the streets was not good either. Bones were simply tossed after the beasts ate meat. There were also the feces and urine of beasts. The air was filled with a bad smell.

The smell was unbearable. Huanhuan covered her mouth and nose, her face all scrunched up.

Was this a legendary beast city?

How disappointing!

Bai Di and Xue Ling seemed to be used to this. Facing the dirty streets, they were calm and did not look disgusted.

There was an inn specially set up for outsiders in the city.

Bai Di found the inn with ease and spent money to get the best guest room. Xue Ling also got a room next to theirs.

There were other beasts in the inn, and all of them were soul beasts. However, in terms of level and strength, they were not at Bai Di and Xue Ling’s level.

Especially Xue Ling. No one present could even figure out how many stars he had.

Although the red crystals on his body were very tempting, no one dared to have any ideas about him. The timid beasts did not even dare to look at him. When they saw him, they would carefully avoid him.

On the surface, it was forbidden for beasts to fight in private in beast cities, but if someone was really assassinated, the guards wouldn’t really care too much about it. It was natural for the weak to be prey to the strong. If they died, they could only blame themselves for being too weak.

Other than the door and windows, there was only a stone bed in the guest room.

Everything else was bare.

What was worse was that there was not even a blanket on the bed. This lousy room was actually the best guest room?!

Huanhuan felt like she had been scammed.

They couldn’t cook in the inn. Bai Di took a handful of sweet fruits from his interspatial ring and handed them to Huanhuan.

He swept the room clean of dust, took out a clean animal hide blanket, and spread it on the bed.

Huanhuan nibbled on the sweet fruit unhappily.

Bai Di turned around and saw that she was unhappy. He chuckled. “Are you disappointed in this beast city?”

“Yes.” Huanhuan frowned. “It’s dirty and messy. It’s nothing compared to the rock mountain!”

The beasts worshiped beast cities as holy lands, which made her look forward to them. In the end, such a terrible situation happened. She felt especially stupid!

She had actually traveled all the way from the rock mountain just to see such a lousy place?!

If she had known this would happen, she would have stayed at home with Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and the children!

What a trash beast city!

Huanhuan ate all the sweet fruits.

Bai Di stroked her head. “The rock mountain is a special case. It developed so well because of your efforts. Beast cities are as what you see now. They’re dirty and messy compared to the rock mountain, but they’re good compared to other tribes.”

Huanhuan was still not happy. “I thought this was supposed to be a good place.”

Bai Di smiled gently. “This place is a little worse than the rock mountain, but there are a few places here that are good. Do you want to see them?”

Huanhuan’s eyes lit up. “Where?”

“The trade center and the Bestial Battle Arena are very famous. The Bestial Battle Arena is too bloody, though. I’ll take you to the trade center and see if there are any herbs you need.”

Huanhuan’s anticipation slowly reignited. “Let’s go now!”
