When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 183: Chase

Huanhuan endured the pain and got up shakily in the snow.

She bit her finger and dripped her blood onto the lotus.

The almost withered lotus flower immediately recovered its vitality at a visible speed, and its grayish-white petals turned pale pink again.

Little Lotus rubbed Huanhuan’s injured fingers, and its voice sounded like it was crying. “Mom…”

Huanhuan touched it. “Don’t cry.”

Sang Ye was taken away, but the trail left behind by the sled was still there. If they followed the trail, they should be able to catch up to Sang Ye.

She struggled forward, but she had to stop after two steps. She clutched her aching chest. Her lungs burned. She bent down and coughed until her lungs hurt.

She was too slow now. Before she could catch up to Sang Ye, the trail on the ground was already covered in snow.

Huanhuan grabbed a handful of powder made of shellfish grass and stuffed it into her mouth. She swallowed it with the snow.

The shellfish grass was working too slowly. Time was precious. She called the system.

“Little Brat, is there any way to heal my injuries immediately?”

System 438 said, “The system can’t treat the host’s wound, but it can temporarily block the host’s pain.”

Huanhuan immediately said, “Then block my pain!”

......

“The system has blocked the host’s pain, but please take note that blocking the pain can only prevent the host from feeling pain for the time being. If you don’t treat your injury in time, you’ll still collapse from the injuries.”

“I understand.”

After blocking the pain, Huanhuan immediately felt refreshed.

She ran wildly following the trail left behind by the sled. Along the way, she scattered some stir-fried sunflower seeds as signs for Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Xue Ling, and the others.

Along the way, Little Lotus helped to capture a reindeer alive. Huanhuan used the wooden planks stored in the space to make a sled and tied the rope to the reindeer.

At first, the reindeer was unwilling to help her pull the cart. However, it became obedient after being whipped by the lotus.

Huanhuan knew very well that she had to give the deer a sweet treat after it got beaten up. She grabbed some field mustard for the deer.

The forest was covered in snow in winter, and there was almost no greenery. The poor reindeer could only eat withered hay. It had not eaten fresh greens in a long time.

Now that it had a large handful of sweet vegetables, the reindeer immediately resigned to its fate. It pulled the sled and ran quickly on the snow.

With the reindeer, Huanhuan’s speed immediately increased many times.

She was in luck. It was a sunny day for the next few days. She did not encounter any snow along the way.

Although she was exhausted from the journey, it was a good thing that the trail left by the sled had not disappeared, which meant that she had not lost him.

Winter was very cold. Most of the beasts and animals were holed up in their homes. They would not come out to move around, so Huanhuan was lucky and did not encounter any danger.

She had a lot of food and water in her interspatial ring. If she was hungry and thirsty, she would eat a few mouthfuls. She did not have to worry about being hungry.

After journeying for nearly 10 days, Huanhuan finally found Han Ying and the others by the river.

She quickly hid, but the sharp cold shadow noticed her. He looked in the direction of Huanhuan’s hiding place. “Go and see who’s hiding there.”

The beasts received their orders and immediately ran toward the large rock where Huanhuan was hiding.

In a hurry, Huanhuan suddenly thought of the lotus seeds given by the lotus.

She quickly took out a lotus seed and threw it into her mouth.

The beasts ran behind the big rock and realized that there was only a dead tree with all its leaves gone. Not far away, there was a deer running crazily.

Finding nothing unusual, the beasts returned empty-handed.

“Master, there’s only one reindeer running around like crazy. There’s nothing else.”

Han Ying nodded and did not take this matter to heart.

He lowered his head to look at Sang Ye. The wounds on the python’s body had frozen over. No more blood flowed out, but the wounds had not healed. In addition, Sang Ye had not eaten anything for days. The python was very weak now.

If not for the fact that the python looked like it was about to die, Han Ying would not have stopped here.

He frowned. “Are you really going to starve yourself for a female?”

The python lay in the snow, barely alive and silent.

Han Ying said, “If you continue to humiliate yourself like this, I’ll immediately go back and capture that little female and turn her into a member of the demon race. This way, you can be together forever in the future.”

The python moved slightly and said weakly, “Let her go…”

“If you really want to protect her, come back to the demon tribe with me obediently. Work hard to increase your strength and become stronger. When the time comes, you can go wherever you want and protect anyone you want. No one can stop you.”

The python said softly, “Huanhuan doesn’t like demons…”

If he became a full demon, Huanhuan would definitely hate him.

He would rather die than become the kind of creature she hated.

However, Han Ying said, “If she really likes you, she’ll definitely like you no matter what you become! Otherwise, she’s just being hypocritical. She’s not worthy of your love!”

The python fell silent again.

Seeing that he was stubborn, Han Ying expected better from him. “If your mother was still alive, she would definitely be very disappointed to see you like this!”

The python still said nothing.

Han Ying realized that something was wrong with him. On a closer look, he realized that this kid had already fainted!

He couldn’t delay any longer. He had to bring him back to recuperate!

Han Ying said to the beasts, “We’ll go first. Follow us!”

“Alright!”

Han Ying swung his snake tail and shattered the ice on the river. The river hidden under the ice was extremely turbulent.

He wrapped his snake tail around the unconscious python and jumped into the river. He quickly swam downstream.

The beasts abandoned their sleds and ran downstream too.

Before long, they were gone.

The dead tree hiding behind the rock moved its branches.

Huanhuan was secretly glad that she had moved quickly and eaten the lotus seed in time. She managed to turn herself into a withered tree to avoid the beasts’ detection.

She pulled her roots out of the snow and skipped to the river.

There was a large hole in the surface of the ice.

Just now, she saw Han Ying jump into the river with Sang Ye. In order to avoid losing them, she also jumped into the river.

The withered tree was very light and quickly got washed away by the fast-flowing river.

Huanhuan felt herself spinning in the water. She was dizzy and wanted to vomit.

She didn’t know how long she drifted.

She was washed into a lake by the river.

The dead tree floated on the lake.

Stars spun in front of Huanhuan’s eyes. ‘Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?’

It took her a while to recover from the chaos. With difficulty, she used her branches to paddle and climb ashore.
