When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 160: Enemies Were Bound To Meet

Bai Di was the first to react, but Xue Ling was faster. He flew to Huanhuan’s side in the blink of an eye.

Huanhuan squatted on the ground and covered her head in fear.

There was a small fire not far from her, but the situation did not look normal. Sparks and charcoal were everywhere. There was a dark puddle of something on the ground.

Xue Ling slowly pulled her up and asked nervously, “How are you?”

Bai Di ran over and checked Huanhuan up and down. When he was sure that she was fine except for the fact that she was pale with fear, he relaxed a little.

Bai Di hugged Huanhuan and comforted her gently, saying, “Don’t be afraid. You’re fine now.”

Mayne and the others had arrived.

Seeing the scene after the explosion, Mayne couldn’t help but click his tongue. “Second Prince, your mate is really impressive. She could cause such a commotion just by playing around.”

Huanhuan was embarrassed by his words.

She just wanted to try out the results of her studies, but she didn’t expect it to cause an explosion. Fortunately, she had deliberately stayed away. Otherwise, she would have been blown up.

...

“I’m fine.” She slowly broke free of Bai Di’s arms, her cheeks flushed with shame. “I tried to make something just now and failed. I’m sorry I scared you.”

Bai Di comforted her slowly. “It’s good that you’re fine.”

Xue Ling frowned and said, “Don’t play with such dangerous things in the future. What if you had gotten injured by the explosion?”

Huanhuan scratched her head in embarrassment like a child who had made a mistake. “I’ll be careful in the future.”

She picked up the crucible, washed it, and stuffed it back into her interspatial ring.

At the same time, she made up her mind not to try alchemy again without full confidence.

If it failed, it would explode!

Invention was precious, but life was more valuable.

Bai Di cut off the most tender part of the roasted chicken and placed it in front of Huanhuan. He and Xue Ling ate the rest of the roasted meat.

As for Mayne and the others, they roasted chickens and ate them themselves. However, just by looking at the roasted meat, he knew that what they had was not as delicious as the meat Bai Di roasted.

Even so, they did not dare to ask the noble prince to roast meat for them.

After eating and drinking their fill, the group continued on their way.

Huanhuan whispered to the system.

“Little Brat, I clearly followed the sample formula in the manual. Why did it suddenly explode?”

System 438 said, “There are many reasons. Perhaps there was a problem with the materials you chose, or the temperature of the fire was wrong, or you placed the materials in the wrong order. You have to find out the reason yourself.”

“How do I find out?”

“You’ll find out after a few more tries.”

Huanhuan immediately grimaced. “Then forget it. If I try a few more times, I’m afraid I’ll be blown up.”

“Don’t you humans say that failure is the mother of success? Host, you have to be strong!”

The corners of Huanhuan’s mouth twitched into a bitter smile. “My mind is very strong. But my body is very fragile! I’ll be sent flying into the sky if I’m blown up!”

“Host, all the best. I have faith in you!”

“Haha.”

…

Huanhuan didn’t dare study alchemy anymore and could only turn her attention to other things.

She took out the small compass and fiddled with it.

The needle spun a few times before suddenly stopping in a direction.

Huanhuan was stunned.

“Why did the needle stop?”

System 438 said happily, “That means there’s a mineral vein nearby!”

Huanhuan looked confused.

She was just trying it out. She didn’t expect to really find a mineral vein. This was too magical!

Huanhuan quickly told Bai Di about her discovery.

Bai Di stopped and looked at the small compass in Huanhuan’s hand. He followed the needle and saw the endless mountains.

It shouldn’t be too far away.

Bai Di considered it. Mines were rare treasures.

Since they’d encountered one, they might as well take a look.

If they really found mineral veins that had yet to be mined, they could leave marks here and bring enough people over to mine them later.

Bai Di called Xue Ling down and told him about the mineral vein.

Xue Ling was not too surprised by the mineral vein. Instead, he was very interested in the small compass in Huanhuan’s hand.

“I’ve never seen such a thing before. Tell me the truth. How many good things are you hiding?”

Huanhuan was afraid that he would take a fancy to her compass, so she quickly hid it. “I only have these few things. You already know all about them.”

Xue Ling didn’t pursue the matter. Instead, he gave Bai Di a meaningful look.

When Huanhuan wasn’t looking, Xue Ling whispered to Bai Di, “No wonder you’re watching her so closely. She has a lot of secrets. If anyone finds out, she’ll be in trouble.”

Bai Di said, “We’ll protect her.”

“I’m afraid the three of you aren’t enough. Why don’t you add me?”

Bai Di neither agreed nor refused. “Huanhuan doesn’t like you,” he said indifferently. “No matter how strong you are, it’s useless.”

Xue Ling: “…”

The feather tribe’s elder, who had always been sharp-tongued, was actually speechless at this moment.

Huanhuan leaned over. “What are you two whispering about?”

“Nothing.” Bai Di stroked her head. “We’re discussing the mineral vein.”

“Okay.”

Bai Di changed his route at the last minute and told Mayne and the others about the plan, but he hid the truth about the mine. He only said that he was going to the mountains ahead to find a relatively rare herb.

Mayne and the others did not suspect anything. They all agreed to follow the prince’s arrangements.

They spent half a day traveling and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain before the sun set.

The endless mountain range was like a hidden dragon, quietly resting on the land. It was quite magnificent.

Along the way, Bai Di had observed that there were few people around. There should be no beasts living here.

Just as they were about to approach the mountain range, they accidentally discovered a group of beasts at the foot of the mountain!

Bai Di immediately stopped and said to his companions behind him, “There are people ahead. Hide first. I’ll go see who they are.”

Xue Ling descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

He said, “You don’t have to go. I’ve already flown over to take a look. Those guys are guards sent by Dark Moon City. They’re all beasts who have awakened their soul beasts. The person in charge of leading the team is Ma Qing.”

Upon hearing Ma Qing’s name, Huanhuan couldn’t help but look surprised.

Enemies were bound to meet!

Bai Di said, “Shouldn’t he be back in Dark Moon City? Why is he here?”

Xue Ling said, “From the looks of it, they’re probably after that thing too.”

Since Mayne was behind him, he couldn’t say anything about the mineral vein.

But Bai Di and Huanhuan understood what he meant.

Ma Qing was also here for the mineral vein!

He was trying to steal their business!

Xue Ling sharpened his claws excitedly. “Are we attacking?”

Bai Di pondered for a moment. “Don’t be rash. Let’s wait and see.”
