When Beauty Meets Beasts

844 You Can’t Clear Your Name Even If You Jump Into The Yellow River!

After dancing the Dance of the Gods, Huanhuan stood in front of the statue and officially took over the position of prophet in front of everyone.

No one had any objections.

Even the group of elders looked at Huanhuan with a trace of awe.

Even though they still hated her, she was still the goddess chosen by the beast gods.

No one dared to anger the beast gods.

Huanhuan did not know what kind of psychological change her dance had caused everyone present. She looked at the statue in front of her and heaved a sigh of relief.

She had finally gotten the position of prophet. She did not embarrass Yin Ji.

This was great!

The 10,000 Beast Ceremony ended successfully.

Huanhuan closed the altar, and the statue and stone pillars retreated underground.

Everyone went down the mountain to go home.

The news of the miracle at the ceremony that day spread throughout the entire City of 10,000 Beasts.

Almost all the beasts knew that the new prophet had obtained the favor of the beast gods. During the ceremony, the beast gods sent a miracle to her, causing hundreds of flowers to bloom.

The scenery was simply beautiful!

The prestige of the prophet rose to the peak overnight.

At this moment, Huanhuan still did not know the changes at the foot of the mountain. She was sitting in the bedroom and being nagged at by her four mates.

Bai Di said, “I know you wanted to get rid of the first elder, but there are many ways to get rid of him. Why did you choose the most dangerous one?!”

Shuang Yun said, “Do you know that my heart almost stopped the moment I saw you fall off the cliff?!”

Sang Ye said, “If you die, I won’t be able to live either.”

Xue Ling said, “You’ve really grown up! How great you are! You actually used yourself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole? Moreover, you didn’t tell us beforehand! If we hadn’t reacted fast enough, we would have jumped off the cliff to accompany you!”

At that time, the four of them were shocked, especially Sang Ye. He almost jumped off the cliff with them.

Fortunately, Xue Ling noticed in time that the mate contract was not interrupted, and there was nothing unusual with the contractual ring. This meant that Huanhuan was still safe.

He stopped Sang Ye, who was about to do something stupid.

Later, they deliberately acted as though they were hurt by the backlash of the mate contract for others to see so that the real murderer hiding in the dark would be less vigilant.

It was also because of their cooperation that everything went so smoothly.

Huanhuan couldn’t raise her head.

She knelt on the floor, hunched her shoulders, and argued softly, “It was an accident. I swear to God, I had nothing to do with it.”

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling looked at her expressionlessly.

It was obvious that they didn’t believe her.

Huanhuan said slowly, “If you don’t believe me, you can interrogate the guard who sprained his ankle. I’m guessing that the first elder secretly arranged for him to deliberately harm me. I really didn’t know about it in advance!”

At this, she suddenly remembered and slapped her thigh. “Oh no! I forgot about the guard! He must have slipped away in the chaos!”

Xue Ling sneered. “As soon as something happened to you, I got someone to capture that guard.”

Huanhuan relaxed and smiled ingratiatingly. “You’re so thoughtful.”

“No matter how thoughtful I am, I can’t compare to you. How dare you bet your life on something like this?”

No matter how Huanhuan explained, the four of them refused to believe that she really didn’t plan it.

The reason was simple.

Bai Di said, “If you really didn’t know beforehand, how did you miraculously appear at the altar on the mountaintop after falling off the cliff in public?”

Huanhuan replied in her heart, ‘Because I have Little Brat!’

But this truth could not be told.

She could only find a way to excuse herself. “Actually, I didn’t fall off the cliff. I used the butterfly flowers to fly to the top of the mountain, then used the divine artifact to open the altar and hide inside.”

“Why were you hiding?”

Huanhuan blurted out, “Of course, it’s because I wanted to watch a good show and see who wanted to harm me.”

Bai Di helped her summarize. “After you fell off the cliff, you immediately used the butterfly flowers to fly to the top of the mountain, where you hid at the altar. When the real murderer appeared, you showed yourself and captured him. Is that right?”

Huanhuan nodded her head.

The four of them said in unison, “What a profound plan. Even we were fooled by you!”

Huanhuan: “…”

“How dare you say you didn’t know?”

Huanhuan hugged her head in extreme pain.

She really couldn’t clear her name now!

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling got up and walked out.

Huanhuan quickly stopped them. “Where are you going?”

Bai Di said, “You don’t need us anymore.”

Shuang Yun said, “Let’s pack up and go back to Rock City.”

Sang Ye said, “I didn’t expect you to not even believe us.”

...

Xue Ling said, “We’ll leave now so that we won’t annoy you.”

Huanhuan: “…”

What should she say?

She could only scramble over and block the door of the room. She refused to move.

“You can’t leave!”

The four of them looked at her expressionlessly.

They looked at each other for a long time.

Huanhuan finally couldn’t take it anymore and was forced to lower her head and admit her mistake. “I was wrong.”

As long as they stayed, it didn’t matter if she had to say that she had done something wrong.

She had to be flexible!

Bai Di said, “What did you do wrong?”

...

“I-I shouldn’t have lied to you.”

“What else?”

“Also, I shouldn’t have bet my life on such things and made you all afraid.”

Bai Di looked at Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling beside him.

“Are we going to forgive her?”

Shuang Yun said, “It’s not impossible to forgive her…”

Huanhuan was very touched. “Shuang Yun, you’re the best to me at such a critical moment!”

Bai Di, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling sneered.

“That’s right! Shuang Yun is the best for you. We’re not good to you at all!”

Huanhuan immediately shut up with a resentful expression.

No matter what she said now, she would be wrong. She could only shut up.

Xue Ling said, “The prerequisite for getting our forgiveness is that you have to give each of us a gift.”

Bai Di said, “Ten days.”

Shuang Yun said, “And it can’t be the same.”

Sang Ye thought about it seriously. “You have to make it yourself.”

Huanhuan quickly agreed without thinking. “Okay, okay. I’ll give you a gift!”

As long as they stayed, everything else could be discussed later.

After comforting her four mates, Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief.

But before she could feel comfortable for long, Leng Xiao came looking for her.

“The first elder is already in jail. What do you want to do with him?”

“First, get him to explain how he plotted against me. After that, get him to sign a pledge. Then, we’ll put a notice on the city’s bulletin board and announce his crimes to the world.”

Leng Xiao hesitated. “But most beasts can’t read…”

No one would understand even if they wrote a notice.

Huanhuan waved her hand. “Then send a literate beast to guard the notice and read the contents of the notice aloud to the beasts. They have to read it at least three times a day.”

“I’ll do it now!”
