787 Tainted

Quan Rong recounted the process of how he encountered the old beast from beginning to end.

Huanhuan asked him to describe the old beast’s appearance in detail.

Quan Rong recalled and said, “His hair and beard were white. He looked very old and slightly fat…”

When he was done, Huanhuan and Bai Di looked at each other.

Huanhuan said, “Why do I feel that the old beast he’s talking about sounds very much like Tao Wei…”

Bai Di said, “I think so too.”

It was not because Tao Wei was special, but because he was the only one on their list of enemies who fit the bill.

Huanhuan touched her chin and thought for a moment. “If it’s really Tao Wei, then we have to be 120% focused. That old man is not easy to deal with. Last time, Clement and I almost fell into his hands.”

Bai Di said, “There are many of us. He won’t dare to act rashly.”

“We can’t be too careful.”

Everyone was about to set off again when Shuang Yin gathered everyone. When she counted the people, she realized that Bai Hao was not around.

Bai An said, “Little White went to the lake to wash some wild fruits. I’ll go look for him now.”

He strode in the direction of the lake. Halfway there, he saw Bai Hao running over with several wild fruits. He looked quite excited as if he had encountered something.

Bai An quickly stopped him. “What’s wrong?”

Bai Hao pointed in the direction of the lake and panted. “I saw a unicorn by the lake when I was washing the fruits!”

Upon hearing this, Bai An immediately asked, “Were you seeing things?”

“I saw it clearly with both eyes. There’s no mistake!” Bai Hao stuffed all the wild fruits into his brother’s hand. “Hurry up and inform Dad and Mom. I’ll go to the lake to guard it first. I won’t let that unicorn escape.”

With that, he ran away.

Bai An carried the wild fruits back to their resting place.

Bai Di saw that he was alone and asked, “Where’s Little White?”

“I just ran into him on the way. He said he saw a unicorn by the lake. Now he’s running to the lake to keep an eye on it.”

Bai Di immediately said to Shuang Yin, “There are too many of us. We’ll cause too much commotion. If we go together, we’ll scare the unicorn away. I’ll go to the lake first. You follow behind with the others. Remember to take good care of your mother.”

“Alright!”

Huanhuan quickly reached out and grabbed Bai Di’s wrist. “I’ll go with you.”

“No, what if we encounter danger…”

“Don’t I still have you?” Huanhuan stuck to his side and refused to leave. “With you protecting me, there won’t be any danger.”

Bai Di looked down at her and saw that she was determined. “Okay,” he said with a sigh.

Huanhuan jumped into his arms happily. “Bai Di, you’re the best!”

Hence, Bai Di led Huanhuan and Bai An away. Shuang Yin followed slowly with the others.

Huanhuan insisted on going with Bai Di to find the unicorn because she suspected that the unicorn was Nightmare. If it was really Nightmare, Huanhuan would definitely not let it off. She had to ask it to help bring them to the unicorns’ home.

The journey was not far. Bai Di and Huanhuan soon saw the lake.

The lake was calm, like a green mirror.

At this moment, a unicorn was standing by the lake, drinking water with its head lowered. It was beautiful and calm, and the silver horn on its head shone.

Bai An quickly found Bai Hao in the grass nearby and called him over.

Bai Hao suppressed the excitement in his heart and whispered, “I was guarding here for a long time just now and only saw this unicorn. It seems that it’s alone. Should we capture it?”

Huanhuan quickly said, “Don’t act rashly.”

She recognized at a glance that the unicorn by the lake was Nightmare, which she had seen in her dream.

Bai Di raised a finger. “Shh.”

The three of them followed his gaze. The unicorn seemed to have realized that someone was spying on him. He looked up and around, his expression rather cautious.

Bai Hao said, “Don’t tell me he wants to run?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the unicorn turn to leave.

Huanhuan quickly gestured for them to be quiet. Then, she walked out of the grass alone and shouted, “Hey!”

The unicorn paused.

It found the voice familiar and involuntarily looked in the direction of the voice.

Huanhuan took off her veiled hat, revealing her beautiful face. “It’s me. Do you remember me?”

As soon as it saw her, the unicorn seemed to be greatly agitated and was about to run!

Huanhuan raised the little black snake. “If you run again, I’ll let the snake bite you!”

Recalling its tragic experience of being chased by the heaven-devouring python, the unicorn had no choice but to stop. It paced anxiously in place, its white ponytail swinging behind it.

“What do you want?”

It was the first time the unicorn had spoken.

Its pitch was very standard. By the standards of the beast world, it could be an announcer with its level of beast language.

Huanhuan stroked its little head and smiled. “Let’s talk.”

As soon as it saw her smile, the unicorn recalled the memories of being bullied by her and the heaven-devouring python. Its heart was filled with grief and indignation.

Unicorns were the purest creatures in the world.

But it had been tainted.

It was no longer pure!

Torturous! Miserable!

“We have nothing to talk about!”

As Huanhuan approached him, she smiled and said, “Don’t be so cold. We’re old acquaintances, after all.”

Seeing her approach, the unicorn immediately took two steps back.

It wanted to run, but it didn’t dare to. It looked like a woman being bullied and teased by an evil man. Its pitiful appearance made Huanhuan laugh.

She deliberately leaned over and touched the unicorn’s cheek.

If the unicorn was human, he would have blushed.

However, its face was covered in white soft fur now. It was impossible to see the color on its face, but from the change in its gaze, one could tell that it was ashamed and angry. It wished it could pretend to be dead.

“Hooligan! Don’t touch me!”

The ‘shyer’ it was, the more Huanhuan couldn’t help but want to tease it.

“Don’t be shy. You won’t get pregnant if you touch me.”

Huanhuan reached out and touched it again.

This time, she touched the silver horn on its head.

A unicorn’s horn was the most sensitive part of its body. After being touched by Huanhuan, the unicorn’s knees went weak, and it almost knelt down to her.

It was trembling. She couldn’t tell if it was from embarrassment or anger.

“If you continue like this, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

Seeing that it was angry from embarrassment, Huanhuan restrained herself a little. After all, she still had to rely on it to find the way. She couldn’t scare it away.

She retracted her sinful claws and smiled. “I helped you change from Nightmare back to a unicorn. In return, you have to do me a small favor now.”

The unicorn was very defensive. “What do you want me to do?”

“Don’t be nervous. I just want you to help take us to your old home.”
