When Beauty Meets Beasts

Dong Ya couldn’t help but ask, “What vegetable is this? Is it edible?”

“It’s edible. The females in our family love this vegetable.” Bai Di pulled off a leaf for him. “You can try it.”

Dong Ya couldn’t resist the temptation and stuffed the leaf into his mouth.

It was unexpectedly sweet and refreshing! The taste was not inferior to those fruits!

Dong Ya ate all the vegetables in his hand in one go. Then, he stared at the vegetables on the stall with longing. His eyes lit up as he asked, “How much are these vegetables? Can I exchange them for shellfish grass?”

Bai Di said, “We can trade for shellfish grass. But there’s one thing. We don’t only need shellfish grass. When the number of shellfish grass reaches a certain point, we’ll stop accepting them.”

They were collecting the herbs in case of emergencies. Although shellfish grass was useful, they couldn’t just have one type of herb. It was better to have more types of herbs.

Dong Ya couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

There was a lot of shellfish grass where they lived. They could easily pick a large bundle of it, but other herbs were rare.

Dong Ya asked Bai Di about the appearance and characteristics of the other common herbs. He was prepared to look around when he returned. Perhaps he could find them. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Facing today’s big customers, Bai Di generously took out a field mustard and handed it to Dong Ya. “This is for you. Take it back and share it with your tribe people. If you like it, you can buy it again in the future.”

Dong Ya quickly took the field mustard and resisted the urge to eat it on the spot. He said excitedly, “Thank you!”

Their people would definitely like such delicious vegetables!

The rabbits returned with full bags.

Most of the fruits had been bought, leaving only some vegetables untouched.

This outcome was as Huanhuan as expected. After all, not every beast could accept those vegetables.

The sun was about to set. Bai Di and Shuang Yun began to pack the things, ready to go home.

Lin Huanhuan wanted to help several times, but they stopped her.

Shuang Yun snorted as he worked. “Look at your thin arms and legs. You don’t have any strength at all. It’s faster to leave this kind of thing to us.”

Bai Di said to Huanhuan, “Go sit aside for a while. We’ll take you to the market later and see if there’s anything you like.”

Hearing that she could shop after this, Huanhuan immediately perked up.

After Bai Di and Shuang Yun finished packing everything, Lin Huanhuan slowly put the things into her space. Then, she held their hands and went shopping excitedly.

This market was very small, and there weren’t many things up for sale. However, Lin Huanhuan had been cooped up for the past few days. Even if she didn’t buy anything, she was happy just to walk around.

After walking around, Lin Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask, “Are there no crystals for sale here?”

Bai Di said, “Crystals are very precious resources. In such a small market, crystals won’t appear. Even if one or two would appear occasionally, they’re all colorless crystals of the lowest grade.”

Lin Huanhuan was a little disappointed. “I want to collect crystals of five different colors…”

She had only collected two colors of crystals, black and colorless.

Bai Di took out two crystals and handed them to her. “These are the crystals I’ve been keeping. Take a look and see if you can use them?”

There was a red crystal and a blue crystal.

Although they were not as precious as the black crystal, they were still very rare medium-grade crystals. Even Shuang Yun, the head of the tribe, did not have such good crystals, but Bai Di easily took them out and gave them to Huanhuan.

It was as though he had not just given away two precious crystals but two ordinary stones picked up by the roadside.

Lin Huanhuan knew that crystals were precious, but she did not know how precious they were.

Therefore, she did not think too much about it. After receiving the crystals in surprise, the system immediately sent a notification: “You have received a red crystal and a blue crystal. The host’s current mission progress is 4/5.”

‘I already have four crystals. I only need one more crystal to complete the mission!’

When Shuang Yun saw that Bai Di had given Huanhuan two medium-grade crystals, he immediately felt inferior.

He did not expect this tiger, who usually kept things to himself, to be so rich!

Shuang Yun was indignant and hurriedly said, “There’ll be a market in the Black River in two days. The market there is much larger than here. Perhaps you can buy the crystals you want there.”

Lin Huanhuan quickly asked, “Can we go to the Black River to take a look, then?”

Shuang Yun snorted proudly. “That depends on my mood. If I’m in a good mood, I’ll take you there.”

Lin Huanhuan immediately hugged his thigh and looked at him with her big watery eyes. Her eyes were filled with anticipation, and her voice was soft. “Shuang Yun, just take me there. Please~”

Shuang Yun was speechless.

The little female was so cute when she acted cutely!

He had wanted to take the opportunity to gain some benefits, but his mind was blank from her cuteness. He had forgotten everything.

His mouth betrayed his thoughts.

“Okay, I promise.”

Lin Huanhuan smiled brightly and cutely. “That’s awesome! Shuang Yun, you’re the best!”

Shuang Yun’s ears turned red from the praise. He pretended to be calm and said, “I really don’t know what to do with you!”

…

Two days later, Shuang Yun and Bai Di brought Lin Huanhuan out.

They were going to the Black River Tribe to attend the market.

Shuang Yun and Bai Di transformed into their beast forms.

The white tiger was in charge of leading the way, while the Silvery Frost White Wolf followed from behind with Huanhuan.

The Black River was relatively far from the rock mountain, but the white tiger and the Silvery Frost White Wolf were very fast. It only took them half a day to reach the Black River.

The Black River was very wide, and the river had fast currents.

On the plain beside the Black River, there were more than a dozen tribes of various sizes. The most powerful tribe was the Wild Horse Tribe.

The market was in an open space very close to the tribe.

There were a lot of people here. There were no stone houses. Everyone casually spread an animal hide on the ground and placed the goods they wanted to sell. It became a makeshift small stall, so it looked messy overall.

Lin Huanhuan felt that this place was not as good as the market back at the Rock Mountain in terms of organization and layout.

At the same time, it could be seen from the side that the leader here was not as capable as Shuang Yun.

Lin Huanhuan also brought a lot of fruits and vegetables over this time.

They chose a relatively clean place, laid out animal hides, and set out fruits and vegetables.

Bai Di stayed where he was to look after the stall while Shuang Yun brought Huanhuan around.

There were many people here. Shuang Yun was afraid that Huanhuan would get lost, so he picked her up and sat her on his arm.

Lin Huanhuan was still tightly wrapped up today, only revealing a pair of sparkling eyes. She hugged Shuang Yun’s neck and looked around curiously.
