When Beauty meets the Beasts

9~ Be a bachelor for the life

Lin Huanhuan asked curiously, “Who is it?”

“I don’t know. When I went to open the door, there was nobody there.” Bai Di placed the hide pouch in front of her. “This was placed on the floor. The person must have left it there.”

Lin Huanhuan saw that the pouch was filled with red berries and couldn’t help but look surprised. “There are so many red berries!”

“Would you like some?” he asked.

Lin Huanhuan shook her head. “I’m not eating them. The pouch was placed at the door of the witch doctor’s house. It must be for the witch doctor.”

“It’s okay if you want some. I’ll pick some later and give them back to the witch doctor.”

“No, I haven’t even finished those red berries that the witch doctor gave me. We’d better leave these to the witch doctor. It’s not polite to take anything from anyone.”

“Alright.” Bai Di set the hide pouch aside, then reached out to touch Lin Huanhuan’s bottom. “Why are you still bleeding?” he asked with a frown.

Lin Huanhuan blushed. “It usually takes five days to stop the bleeding. Today is only the second day. It’s still too early.”

“You’re sure you won’t die after losing all that blood?” His face carried an expression of worry.

“I won’t. I’ve been living like this all these years. There’s no problem at all.”

Seeing how confident Lin Huanhuan was, Bai Di could only suppress his worry for the time being.

It wasn’t long before the old witch doctor returned.

Lang Zhu asked Lin Huanhuan about her physical condition as usual. After confirming that she was fine, he was slightly relieved.

Bai Di handed Lang Zhu the hide pouch filled with red berries.

“Someone put this on your doorstep. It must be for you.”

Lang Zhu grabbed two red berries at random and examined them. Then, he brought them to his nose and took a sniff. A meaningful smile immediately appeared on his wrinkled face.

He placed the hide pouch in Lin Huanhuan’s hand. “This is for you. You can eat the berries inside.”

Lin Huanhuan was very surprised. “Shouldn’t this be for you?”

“Trust me, he must have wanted to give it to you!”

Without waiting for Lin Huanhuan to ask further questions, Lang Zhu walked away while leaning on his walking cane.

He found Shuang Yun on top of a massive rock.

The tall, handsome man was sitting on the edge of the rock with one leg up and his honey-colored skin glowed in the afterglow of the setting sun. His short silver-white hair swayed gently in the breeze, softening his originally sharp face.

Although Lang Zhu was so old that his hair and beard were completely white, he was still very agile.

He jumped onto the rock easily and raised his hand to knock Shuang Yun on the head. He scolded him jokingly. “Brat, you even dare to hit a female. You’re really rebellious!”

Shuang Yun sat motionlessly. He glanced at the old witch doctor and snorted. “As long as they’re bad people, I’ll beat them up whether they’re females or not!”

“But she didn’t do anything bad. You misunderstood her!”

Shuang Yun pursed his lips and fell silent.
