Chapter 265: Can I Go Back?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The two moles couldn’t withstand the beating of Jiu Yuan and the wolf beasts, so they finally confessed.

It turned out that they had been sent by Tong Fu to release nematodes into the rock mountain.

Jiu Yuan found an animal hide bag on them.

He opened the bag. It was filled with squirming beige nematodes. They were especially disgusting.

Huanhuan only took a look and felt her stomach turn over. She had the urge to vomit.

The system shouted back, “That’s disgusting! Take it away! I don’t want to see it!”

Huanhuan quickly asked Jiu Yuan to take the bag away.

The nematodes were parasites. They were thin, long, and very inconspicuous. As long as they burrowed into one’s body, regardless of whether it was a beast or an ordinary animal, they would die from having their intestines pierced.

There had been previous bug disasters on the beast continent. Nematodes were among those pervasive bugs responsible for wreaking havoc.

They were the natural enemies of all plants and animals.

Ever since the bug disaster, the number of bugs on the beast continent had fallen to a low point. This kind of nematode was almost extinct.

They did not expect to suddenly see them here.

If they really entered the rock mountain, many beasts would definitely suffer.

That envoy was indeed vicious.

After Bai Di explained the dangers of nematodes to Huanhuan, her mood became very bad. She touched the tiger cubs in her arms, then her mood improved.

She said to the two mole beasts, “How much do you know about Lord Envoy? Tell me everything.”

In any case, that mole beast had already exposed the envoy. He knew that there was no other way out, so he just told Huanhuan everything that he knew.

After learning that envoys could not only use healing spells but also create a divine medicine that could heal any injuries and illnesses, Huanhuan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Do you believe everything they say?”

One of the mole beasts said, “Not only is the envoy noble, but he’s also powerful. Of course, we believe him!”

“Since you trust him so much, he must have something extraordinary about him,” Huanhuan said to Jiu Yuan. “Bring someone to invite that divine envoy over.”

She emphasized the word ‘invite’.

Jiu Yuan was very puzzled. “Such a ruthless guy should be killed immediately. Why are you spending so much effort to invite him over?!”

Huanhuan said slowly, “I naturally have my reasons. Just invite him over. If he refuses to come, kidnap him.”

Sensing that there was something else in her words, Jiu Yuan didn’t ask further. He led a group of people toward the forest.

As for the two mole beasts, they were brought to the dungeon by Feng Lan.

Huanhuan was silent for a while before saying, “They shouldn’t be back anytime soon. Let’s go home first.”

“Okay.” Bai Di picked her and the tiger cubs up and walked steadily into the fortress.

When she returned home, Huanhuan’s tense nerves finally eased.

She put the tiger babies to bed.

Bai Di could tell she wasn’t in a good mood. “There are some unfinished cookies in the kitchen. Shall I heat them up and bring them to you?”

Huanhuan replied, “Yes.”

Bai Di stroked her head and walked out of the bedroom.

Huanhuan pinched Big White’s little toe pads from time to time. She was still thinking about what had just happened and sighed faintly. “Little Brat, I keep feeling that I’ve become bad.”

The system said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild.”

Huanhuan laughed at herself. “I used to be so timid that my legs would go weak if I killed a chicken, but now, I can decide the life and death of others without blinking.”

Her heart hardened.

Thinking about it carefully, this change in her seemed to have begun quietly the moment she asked Little Lotus to kill Huai Shan.

The system said, “You just did what was best for you. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Huanhuan lowered her eyes and looked at her palms. “I’m just a little afraid that if this continues, I’ll become someone else. I’ll become a bad person who’s willing to sacrifice others to protect myself.”

Her hands were already stained with blood.

They might be stained with more blood in the future.

The system said, “This is the beast continent. If you want to live, you have to learn to be ruthless.”

Huanhuan muttered, “Yes, this is the beast continent, not the lawful society I used to live in. This is a world where killing isn’t illegal…”

The system was silent for a moment, then it suddenly asked, “If you were given a chance to return to your original world, would you be willing?”

Huanhuan was stunned. “Can I still go back?”

The system asked seriously, “Assuming you can, are you willing to go back?”

Huanhuan thought about it for a long time before saying, “I don’t know.”

Of course, she wanted to return to that civilized modern society, but in this world, there was Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, Xue Ling, and the children. She couldn’t bear to part with them.

The system said, “You can think about it. Tell me when you come up with an answer.”

“Can you really make me go back?”

The system didn’t say anything else.

Bai Di walked in with a plate of freshly baked cookies. He picked one up and blew on it to make sure it wouldn’t burn her hands before handing it to Huanhuan.

After eating a sweet cookie, Huanhuan’s mood improved again.

Sure enough, sweets made people happy.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but eat two more sweet cookies.

Jiu Yuan returned, along with Tong Fu.

Huanhuan touched the tiger babies. “I’ll be back soon. Be good and stay here. Don’t run around.”

The tiger babies rubbed against her fingers and let out soft cries.

Huanhuan and Bai Di walked out of the rock mountain.

This time, Huanhuan deliberately put on a veil to cover most of her face so that no one would stare at her again.

Tong Fu looked younger than expected. He was tall, thin, and handsome. However, his eyes were drooping, making him look a little gloomy. Coupled with his arrogant appearance, it was obvious that he was not an easy beast.

However, he was indeed very respected among the beasts who had escaped.

After knowing that the envoy had been captured by the Rock Wolf Tribe, those beasts were afraid that the envoy would be bullied, so they all followed.

They were stopped outside the wall and could not enter.

But their shouts came through the wall.

“Let the envoy go, you bastards!”

“If you dare to harm the envoy, we’ll fight you to the death!”

Huanhuan glanced at Jiu Yuan. “What happened?”

Jiu Yuan told her about the beasts following the envoy.

Huanhuan said slowly, “They’re guests. Since they’re already here, open the door and let them in.”

Jiu Yuan agreed. “Alright!”

They opened the door and let in the beasts who were cursing.
