860 She Was Innocent!

Eggy said, “Mom, people have died outside.”

Upon hearing this, Huanhuan was so frightened that she shivered. The sleepiness in her mind instantly disappeared.

She quickly got up and asked as she got dressed, “Who died?”

Eggy said, “I don’t know, but the smell of blood is very strong. Many people must have died outside. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a strong smell of blood.”

Huanhuan took a deep breath.

She didn’t smell anything.

She rubbed her nose and decided to trust her daughter.

The mother and daughter carefully pulled open the door.

After confirming that there was no one outside, Eggy walked out first. Her bird claws gently stepped on the ground without making a sound.

Huanhuan grabbed her bird tail and followed.

When they were about to reach the corner, Eggy suddenly stopped!

Huanhuan didn’t stop and bumped into her back.

Fortunately, she was covered in feathers, so it didn’t hurt to bump into her.

After she stabilized herself, she quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Eggy said, “Someone’s coming.”

“Who?”

“The footsteps don’t sound like they belong to Jian Yi.”

Huanhuan didn’t understand how she could tell who it was from the footsteps. She pulled Eggy into a room beside her.

The moment the door closed, someone walked around the corner and headed straight for Huanhuan’s room.

The door was quietly pulled open a crack, and Huanhuan squatted on the ground. Eggy was lying on her head. The mother and daughter looked out through the crack and saw that the person who had just walked over was He Zong!

Why was he here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping at home?!

Huanhuan was filled with confusion.

Eggy opened her mouth to speak, but Huanhuan quickly covered it. The situation was very strange now. They should wait and see.

She saw He Zong knock on the door.

No one answered for a long time.

He Zong pushed open the door and realized that the room was empty. He immediately turned around and shouted, “Someone!”

Four beast soldiers ran over gently. They were all covered in blood, but they were not injured.

Clearly, the blood belonged to others.

He Zong asked in a low voice, “Where’s Lin Huanhuan?”

“I don’t know.”

He Zong immediately ordered, “Search. Even if you have to search every inch of the 10,000 Beast Temple, you have to find her!”

“Alright!”

The beast soldiers turned to leave, relaying the order of the king of beasts to their other companions.

They began a carpet search in the 10,000 Beast Temple.

Huanhuan closed the door, feeling nervous.

He Zong dared to bring troops up the mountain in the middle of the night and search the temple without restraint. There was also the blood on the beast soldiers…

All signs indicated that they had ill intentions!

Eggy lowered her voice and asked, “Mom, they smell of blood. They must have killed many people. What should we do now?”

Huanhuan wanted to look for Jian Yi.

But now, the entire temple was controlled by He Zong. There were beast soldiers everywhere in the temple. As soon as she and Eggy went out, they might be caught on the spot.

What worried her even more was that it was very likely that something had happened to Jian Yi

Leng Xiao, Shuang Jing, and the other divine guards did not appear either. The situation was very disadvantageous to Huanhuan. The beast soldiers were about to find the room where they were hiding. If they stayed here any longer, they could only wait for death.

Huanhuan pushed open the window and looked out.

From here, there was the back mountain. This place was filled with tall, lush trees and was sparsely populated.

She and Eggy climbed out of the window together.

After landing, Huanhuan closed the window and whispered to Eggy, “Can you fly me down the mountain?”

“No problem. Leave it to me!”

Eggy grabbed the clothes on either shoulder of her mother and spread her wings to fly into the sky.

Due to the special nature of the divine mountain, the beasts who went up the mountain could not return to their beast forms and could only maintain their human forms. This meant that there were no beasts on the top of the divine mountain.

Eggy brought Huanhuan around the temple and silently flew down the mountain.

“Mom, there’s someone ahead!”

Huanhuan followed Eggy’s line of sight and saw that there was indeed a person not far ahead. That person was flying in the air, his black robe almost blending into the night. The wings as thin as cicada wings on his back flapped gently.

His face was hidden under the hood.

But Huanhuan recognized him at a glance.

“Xing Chen!”

Little Brat was quite frightened. “Damn, why is he here?!”

Huanhuan quickly urged Eggy to fly in another direction.

Unfortunately, they were too late.

In the blink of an eye, Xing Chen had already flown in front of them and blocked their way.

Xing Chen raised his head slightly, revealing a beautiful face that was so exquisite that it didn’t seem real. His pale skin was even colder than the moon, and his amber eyes were locked on his target. “Long time no see.”

Huanhuan’s lips twitched into a dry smile. “It’s indeed been a long time. Why are you here?”

“I’m here for you.”

“Why are you looking for me? I’m very busy now. We’ll talk when I’m free.”

Huanhuan gestured for Eggy to leave quickly.

Eggy turned around and was about to fly away when the Soul-Devouring Vine wrapped its vine around her back.

No matter how she struggled, she could not shake off the Soul-Devouring Vine.

The Soul-Devouring Vine raised its sharp vine. After finding the right direction, it suddenly pierced into Eggy’s neck!

It began to suck her blood.

Eggy felt the vitality in her body draining rapidly. Her vision blurred, and her mind was dizzy. Even so, she still held onto her mother tightly and did not let go.

Huanhuan’s eyes immediately turned red as she roared at Xing Chen crazily, “Come at me if you have anything to say. Eggy is still a child. She’s innocent!”

She released the lotus, Little Green, and Little Purple.

However, they were no match for the Soul-Devouring Vine. They were quickly entangled by it and could not move anymore.

Just as Eggy was about to die from having her blood sucked dry, the Soul-Devouring Vine suddenly pulled its vine out of her neck.

Huanhuan’s heart ached when she saw that the wound on her youngest daughter’s neck was still bleeding.

She heard Xing Chen speak.

“If you want your daughter alive, behave. Don’t do anything that makes me angry again.”

Huanhuan agreed without hesitation. “I’ll do anything you say. Let Eggy go!”

As long as she could save Eggy, she would do anything!

Xing Chen gave a half-smile. “You’re a good mother.”

Huanhuan was still pleading. “Let her go. I’ll do anything.”

Xing Chen reached out and pulled her into his arms.

His body temperature was much lower than that of ordinary beasts. As soon as Huanhuan approached him, she felt a very strong chill.

She turned to look at Eggy and saw that she had fallen unconscious from losing too much blood. She was now entangled by the Soul-Devouring Vine and hanging behind Xing Chen.

Xing Chen said, “Don’t worry, she’s not dead yet.”

He brought Huanhuan and Eggy back to the 10,000 Beast Temple.

As soon as he landed, He Zong immediately came forward. His eyes were fixed on the little female in Xing Chen’s arms as he said excitedly, “You’re the best. You caught her as soon as you got involved!”
