When Beauty Meets Beasts

Huanhuan prepared to leave Rock City.

She wanted to find the dragon race and complete Yu Tian’s last wish as soon as possible.

The system asked, “Are you sure you want to leave now? Are you willing to part with Shuang Yun, Xue Ling, and the children?”

“Of course, I can’t bear to part with them,” Huanhuan said with a bitter smile. “It’s because I can’t bear to part with them that I want to finish the mission quickly and come back to be with them. It’s too uncomfortable to meet them but not be able to acknowledge them.”

“Aren’t you going to say goodbye to them?”

Huanhuan shook her head. “I don’t want them to know that I’m leaving, especially Xue Ling. He’s already suspicious of my true identity. If he finds out that I’m leaving, he’ll definitely try to stop me.”

The system sighed. “Since you’ve made up your mind, let’s go.”

Before leaving, Huanhuan returned to the foot of the rock mountain.

She leaned over and pressed her ear to the rock wall. She closed her eyes and listened carefully.

The system asked, “What are you listening to?”

“I’m listening to the wind. The wind on the rock mountain.”

The wind she had heard countless times on the mountain.

The wind had stayed with their family for many days and nights.

Scenes from the past came to mind.

They gathered into a powerful force in Huanhuan’s heart, supporting her on this lonely path.

Huanhuan opened her eyes and stepped back. Then, she turned around and walked away without looking back.

Behind her, the wind suddenly blew. The creeper leaves rustled.

She would definitely be able to fulfill Yu Tian’s last wish and return home soon!

…

In the vegetable fields, the beetroot swayed from side to side in the wind.

Xue Ling glanced sideways. “The wind is rising.”

However, Shuang Yun was not in the mood to pay attention to the winds. His mind was filled with what Xue Ling had just said.

Xue Ling actually said that Yu Tian had died many years ago!

Shuang Yun was in disbelief. “If Yu Tian is already dead, who have we been seeing in the past two days? Could it be a ghost?!”

“Maybe someone was reincarnated in another body?”

Shuang Yun did not believe it at all. “That’s impossible! No one can come back from the dead!”

“It’s true that ordinary people can’t be revived, but Yu Tian is different. She had already entered the realm of a demigod. As long as her body was intact and her soul was complete, it’s not impossible for her to be revived.”

“But if that’s the case, why didn’t she come back to life all those years ago? Why did she come back to life now?!”

Xue Ling smoothed his long golden hair that had been messed up by the wind. At the same time, he said leisurely, “Yu Tian didn’t revive before because her soul had long died. She only had a body left.”

A body without a soul was just a shell. It was impossible to revive.

Shuang Yun said, “But Yu Tian did revive…”

“Yes, Yu Tian has revived, but her soul has long died. The soul in her body must be someone else’s. Guess whose soul it is?”

Shuang Yun thought for a long time. Coupled with Xue Ling’s performance after seeing Yu Tian, a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind. However, he quickly suppressed this unrealistic thought and said calmly, “If you suspect that the soul is Huanhuan, I need you to give me strong evidence to prove that your guess is correct.”

Xue Ling said, “I tested her. Her answer tells me that she’s probably Huanhuan.”

“It’s just a test. It’s not conclusive evidence at all. All of this is just your guess. I can’t believe you.”

Xue Ling spread his hands and said, “I have no proof, but I trust my instincts.”

“Your intuition might be wrong.”

“But it could be right.”

Shuang Yun’s lips tightened into a hard line. “I can’t think of another person as Huanhuan without concrete evidence.”

“See, I told you you were a stubborn person. You could have figured it out by turning a corner, but you refused. You just had to go to a dead end. You’ll regret it in the future!”

Shuang Yun retorted without hesitation, “I think you’ll be the one regretting it. There’s no substantial evidence to prove that Yu Tian is Huanhuan now. What will you do if you realize that you’ve got the wrong person in the future? Don’t you think this is a betrayal to Huanhuan?”

Xue Ling took a step forward and pressed, “Then have you thought about it? If Yu Tian is really Huanhuan, but you refuse to let her stay and let her leave again, won’t you regret it when you find out the truth in the future?”

“If she’s really Huanhuan, she won’t leave us!” Shuang Yun said firmly.

“These are different matters. With the way you’re treating her now, she’ll think she’s not welcome in this house. It’s not impossible that she’ll be sad and leave.”

Xue Ling’s words made sense, but Shuang Yun could not cross that hurdle.
