When Beauty meets the Beasts

18~ I Like You

Shuang Yun said leisurely, “Yes, Ya Qiu is the child of the leader of the Black Water Wolf Tribe. He’s also my cousin. He brought the witch doctor of the Black Water Wolf Tribe over to discuss business with me. When Li Wei found out about this, she shamelessly wanted to follow. I was so annoyed when I saw her!”

So, that strangely dressed middle-aged male was the witch doctor of the Black Water Wolf Tribe!

Lin Huanhuan was not interested in Li Wei.

...

She was only a little curious about the business he mentioned.

“What kind of business is it?” She paused, then added. “If it’s not convenient to talk about, then forget I asked.”

“There’s nothing I can’t say. They want to sell me some kind of water.”

“Water?” Lin Huanhuan looked puzzled. “Isn’t there a water source nearby? Why did they specially come to sell water to you?”

“The water they’re selling isn’t ordinary water. It’s the kind of water that makes your body heat up when you drink it. With this magical water, we can go out hunting even in winter without having to worry about our blood freezing, rendering us immobile.”

When Shuang Yun saw Lin Huanhuan’s curious appearance, he suddenly narrowed his dark green eyes. “Do you want to see that water? If you beg me, I can consider showing it to you.”

Lin Huanhuan rolled her eyes. “How childish!”

“Who are you calling childish?!”

“The person responding is the childish one!”

Shuang Yun pursed his lips, dropped his bowl and chopsticks, and ran.

Lin Huanhuan thought that Shuang Yun was angered by her and couldn’t help but be surprised. When did this guy become so petty and sensitive?

A moment later, she saw that Shuang Yun was back.

He was holding a bamboo tube as thick as his arm.

Shuang Yun pulled out the stopper and handed the bamboo tube to Lin Huanhuan. “This is the water they want to sell.”

Lin Huanhuan couldn’t help but grin.

Shuang Yun asked angrily, “What are you laughing at?!”

“Nothing. I just think you’re kind of cute sometimes.”

Shuang Yun was speechless.

His ears turned pink.

Lin Huanhuan took the bamboo tube and sniffed it. Her expression changed slightly. “This is wine!”

Shuang Yun looked surprised. “You know this water?”

“I’ve not only seen it, but I’ve drunk it. It does warm up one’s body, but you can’t drink too much.”

Ya Qiu had only said that this water could heat one’s body, but he did not say that one should not drink too much of it.

It was either he didn’t know of the effects, or he was deliberately keeping it a secret.

Shuang Yun asked, “Why can’t you drink more of it?”

“Drinking too much makes you drunk. Everyone behaves differently when they’re drunk, and I can’t be sure what you’ll do when you’re drunk. Just to be on the safe side, it’s better to drink less, in case something bad happens.”
