When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 150: Life And Death Are Destined

Due to Bai Di’s obstruction, Huanhuan’s diet plan was forced to be put on hold.

But as a modern woman with principles and persistence, Huanhuan would not give up just like that!

She got up early the next morning.

Bai Di, who was preparing breakfast, heard her get up and looked at her in surprise. “Why are you up so early today?”

Huanhuan clenched her fists. “I want to run. I want to lose weight!”

Bai Di thought it would be good for her to run. Exercise could strengthen his little female.

So he put down his work. “You’re not familiar with this place. I’ll run with you.”

They ran along the palace road.

When she returned to the room, Huanhuan was panting from exhaustion.

She collapsed onto the bed and lay down like a starfish.

Bai Di acted as if nothing had happened. He was neither red-faced nor panting. He hadn’t even sweat.

He lifted Huanhuan from the bed and helped her wipe the sweat off her body.

Breakfast was a fragrant meatloaf. Huanhuan ate one slice and drank a bowl of vegetable soup. She was full.

Bai Di still thought she ate too little.

He reached out and touched her stomach to make sure it was bulging. Then, he ate the rest of the meatloaf and vegetable soup.

Huanhuan, who had eaten her fill, was revived.

She touched her stomach and said confidently, “I can definitely get an eight-pack like yours!”

Bai Di thought about Huanhuan having an eight-pack and suddenly felt a little confused.

He said sincerely, “Don’t force yourself. You’re beautiful like this.”

…

Bai Di sent some vegetables and fruits to the chamber of commerce to be sold.

Just as he had expected, many females in the city went to buy fruits and vegetables.

They didn’t sell much, but the price was relatively high, so their profits were still considered generous.

Bai Di and Huanhuan could earn money without even going out. It felt very good!

Huanhuan even had the idea of working with the chamber of commerce long-term.

Unfortunately, the chamber of commerce only had branches in the various beast cities. Their rock mountain was a remote place. The chamber of commerce was definitely unwilling to spend manpower and resources to set up a branch there.

Huanhuan expressed her regret.

Bai Di took out the stone slab in the ring space. The words Huanhuan had written on it had been wiped away and replaced with new words.

It was still in Shuang Yun’s handwriting. It said—

[How many days until you’re home? Sang Ye and I want to pick you up.]

Bai Di thought for a moment, then wrote down the reply.

[We won’t be home for another 15 days at the latest.]

He stuffed the slate back into the space.

Huanhuan missed Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and the children. Compared to the magnificent Sun City, she preferred the warm and familiar rock mountain.

She said to Bai Di, “Let’s go back.”

“Yes, we’ll say goodbye to Father and set off for home tomorrow morning.”

But when they went to say goodbye to Bai Ming, they were told that he was critically ill!

Bai Di rushed into the bedroom and saw his father lying on the bed, dying.

High Priest Wen Qian was treating Bai Ming. However, after Bai Ming drank a large bowl of holy water, not only was it useless, but it also made Bai Ming’s condition worse.

His breathing was very weak, and his face was as pale as paper. He was as thin as firewood, looking like a withered plant.

The attendants also held their breaths, not daring to breathe.

Wen Qian said helplessly, “I’m sorry, I’ve done my best. You can prepare for His Majesty’s funeral.”

“Prepare for what? My father isn’t dead yet!” Bai Di glared at him. “If my father dies, none of you will have an easy time!”

The attendants fell to their knees in fear, trembling.

Wen Qian shook his head and sighed. “Why do you have to do this? Life and death are up to fate. These people are innocent.”

Bai Di ignored him and held his father’s hand tightly.

Wen Qian said, “His Majesty shouldn’t be able to last long. If you have anything to say to each other, hurry up and say it now so that you won’t have any regrets in the future.”

Then, he left with the divine servants.

Huanhuan said to the attendants kneeling on the ground, “You can all leave too.”

The attendants saw that Bai Di did not object and ran out as if they had been pardoned, afraid that Bai Di would vent his anger on those who fell behind.

Only Bai Di, his son, and Huanhuan were left in the bedroom.

Bai Di kept saying, “Father, you’ll be fine!”

Bai Ming’s body was so weak that he couldn’t speak. He could only look straight at his son, his already dim blue eyes filled with reluctant tears.

Huanhuan took out a bone knife and cut her palm. Blood dripped into a bowl, mixing with the warm water inside. She then brought it to Bai Di.

“Feed it to your father. It might help.”

Bai Di saw that her palm was wrapped in animal hide. His eyes darkened. “Thank you.”

Huanhuan urged him, saying, “We’re family. There’s no need to be so polite. Hurry up and feed it to your father.”

Bai Di helped his father sit up and carefully fed him warm water mixed with blood.

After drinking a bowl of water, Bai Ming’s condition improved visibly. His pale cheeks regained their color, and even the wrinkles on his face disappeared. He was in good spirits.

Bai Ming felt his body fill with strength.

He looked incredulous. “I feel like I’m healthy again!”

Bai Di and Huanhuan heaved sighs of relief at the same time.

“As long as you’re fine.”

Bai Ming couldn’t help but ask, “Was Huanhuan’s blood added to that bowl of water just now? Can her blood cure diseases?”

If it weren’t for the fact that he had no choice, Bai Di would never have let Huanhuan bleed to save anyone. If people knew that her blood could heal wounds, she would definitely be eaten until not even her bones were left!

Bai Di pleaded, “Father, can you forget what just happened? Huanhuan is just an ordinary female. I don’t want her to be in danger.”

Of course, Bai Ming knew what his son was worried about, but he was too surprised just now, so he couldn’t help but ask.

“Alright, I promise you,” Bai Ming promised. “I won’t tell anyone about what happened just now.”

Bai Di emphasized, “You can’t tell even the high priest and Bai Luo.”

Bai Ming looked at his son deeply. After a moment of silence, he nodded. “Okay.”

Huanhuan thought that was enough, but Bai Di took out a contract scroll.

It was an intermediate contract scroll. It could contract beasts between four and six stars. Bai Ming happened to be a six-star soul beast.

Bai Di unfolded the scroll. “I know this might make you disappointed in me, but I have no choice. Huanhuan is more important than my life. I have to protect her, so please place your thumbprint on this contract and guarantee that you won’t leak what happened today to anyone.”

Huanhuan advised softly, “Forget it. He’s your father, after all. We can trust him.”

But Bai Di was unmoved. He looked at his father firmly.
