When Beauty Meets Beasts

He Zong was stopped by Xing Chen again.

Looking at the beautiful and delicate thin youth in front of him, He Zong was stunned at first. It was only when he smelled the familiar aura on his body that he confirmed that this youth was Xing Chen.

"How did you get so small?"

Xing Chen said, "I like it."

Most of the time, He Zong could not understand what Xing Chen was thinking. He was powerful, but he did not seem to have any desire for power or wealth. He only knew how to circle around Lin Huanhuan all day long, but he did not become Lin Huanhuan's partner. The relationship between the two of them was ambiguous.

He Zong explained his purpose for coming. "I want to see the prophet."

"She doesn't want to see you."

He Zong had been enduring it for a long time, but he still couldn't hold back the words he had been holding back. "Whose side are you on?!"

Instead of answering, Xing Chen asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"You and I are partners, but you're following Lin Huanhuan all day long and even stopping me from meeting her. Have you forgotten our cooperation?!"

Xing Chen's gaze was cold. "Are you questioning me?"

"I'm just trying to figure out what's going on in your head."

"I'll handle my own affairs."

He Zong gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better know what you're doing. It wasn't easy for us to reach this step. If we fail, not only will I be finished, but you won't be able to see Lin Huanhuan again!"

Xing Chen glanced at him. "I won't interfere with anything you do, but you can't do anything to her. She's mine."

He Zong's lips twitched into a strange smile. "Don't tell me you really like her?"

"It's none of your business."

"Lin Huanhuan is a monster. As long as any beast looks into her eyes, they'll be involuntarily bewitched by her. Last time, I lost my mind because I was bewitched by her and did that to her!"

Thinking of this, He Zong was filled with anger.

Although he felt that Lin Huanhuan was beautiful, he did not have to force her to mate with him.

To him, power was more important than anything.

Before completely destroying the temple, he would definitely not attack Lin Huanhuan easily.

However, that night, he was really like a demon. He lost all rationality, and the blood in his body burned. His hands pushed her to the ground uncontrollably.

Now that he thought about it, he felt a lingering fear.

After that, he rarely saw Lin Huanhuan again. He occasionally went to see her, but when he was stopped by Xing Chen, he would leave.

It was because he was afraid of being bewitched by her again.

The feeling of losing control of his body was too terrifying.

Xing Chen was unmoved. "I've been with her so long. Have you ever seen me bewitched by her?"

He Zong sneered and asked, "If you haven't been bewitched by her, why are you staying by her side every day?"

"She is to me what power is to you."

He Zong was stunned.

He could understand male beasts chasing power, but it was too silly to give up everything else for a female!

"I really don't understand what you're thinking." He Zong shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and talked about his purpose in coming to look for Lin Huanhuan. "It's fine that you stopped me a few times before, but this time, I have to see Lin Huanhuan. I have something very important to talk to her about."

"What is it about?"

"The merfolk's leader, Chen Yuan, is here. He has brought his entire clan to seek refuge in the City of 10,000 Beasts and is willing to offer the merfolk's supreme treasure, the shark crystal. However, the prerequisite is that he must personally deliver the shark crystal to the prophet."

Whether it was the merfolk or the shark crystal, they were both very coveted and wanted!

Xing Chen rejected him without thinking.

"No, she can't see anyone else but me."

He Zong was very dissatisfied. "I just want her to show her face. I'm not going to do anything to her. Do you have to be nervous?!"

"She can only see and listen to me. No one else can covet her."

After saying that, Xing Chen turned around and left.

No matter how He Zong tried to persuade him, Xing Chen remained unmoved.

In the bedroom, Huanhuan was reading Sang Ye's letter. In the letter, Sang Ye said that he and Clement had joined forces to eliminate Tao Wei and his forces. Now, they were hunting down the remaining survivors. As long as the remaining survivors were eliminated, they could bring the demons back and not participate in this war.

This was the only good news in recent times.

Her heart relaxed a little.

Just as she was about to write a reply to Sang Ye, she saw Xing Chen push open the door and walk in. She was so frightened that she hurriedly stuffed the letter and charcoal into her space.

Xing Chen didn't stop walking. "What are you writing? There's no need to hide. I saw everything."

Huanhuan took out a piece of paper and some charcoal. "I'm going to draw."

Xing Chen sat beside her, his hands on her lap. He craned his neck to see the white paper in her hands, his amber eyes curious. "What do you want to draw?"

"I'm still thinking. I haven't thought of it yet."

"Can you draw me?"

Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, her heart slowly softened. She nodded and agreed. "Okay."

As she smoothed out the white paper, she said, "My drawing skills are very average. Don't blame me if I draw you badly."

"You can draw whatever you want. I'll like everything you draw."

When Xing Chen said this, a faint blush appeared on his pale face, making him seem a little shy.

If one ignored his true identity, he looked like an innocent young boy who had yet to experience the world. No one could raise their guard against him.

As Huanhuan muttered in her heart, she picked up the charcoal and began to draw.

Because it was a portrait, she had to look up at Xing Chen from time to time to observe the details of his facial features.

Xing Chen was a little embarrassed by her gaze, but he liked the feeling of being stared at by her.

It was as if she only had him in her eyes.

It didn't take long to finish.

Xing Chen stretched his head over to take a look. When he saw a beautiful young boy drawn on the paper, his eyes couldn't help but light up. "You're really good at drawing!"

Huanhuan looked at his fair face and could not help but have a bad idea.

She rubbed the charcoal on her fingers onto Xing Chen's face.

A black mark immediately appeared on his originally beautiful and fair face.

Huanhuan laughed proudly. "You're like a little kitten now, hahaha!"

Xing Chen was stunned.

Seeing how happy she was, he couldn't help but laugh too.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Huanhuan stopped laughing and asked casually, "Who is it?"

She was imprisoned here. Other than Xing Chen, the only person who would come here to look for her was He Zong. However, He Zong would not knock on the door. If he came, he would definitely push the door open and enter.

Moreover, Xing Chen was not willing to let He Zong see her recently. If He Zong came, Xing Chen would definitely get up in advance to stop him.

Huanhuan turned her head to look at Xing Chen, who was sitting at the side, focused on looking at the portrait. She thought that the person who came was definitely not He Zong.
