When Beauty Meets Beasts
Chapter 346: Dream Control
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The piece of Divine Wood Xue Ling was talking about was the black wood Huanhuan saw at the ceremony yesterday.
That piece of Divine Wood was the last piece of Divine Wood left in the entire Divine Wood Temple.
It was very important to the Divine Wood clan and even the entire Divine Wood City.
Usually, the high priest would be in charge of keeping the Divine Wood. Only during the annual Bright Flower Festival would he take it out and hold a sacrificial ceremony.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the Divine Wood was gone!
The Divine Wood had no legs. It couldn’t run away on its own.
The only possibility was that it had been stolen!
The Divine Wood was still there when the ceremony was held at noon yesterday, but it was gone this morning. It was very likely that it was stolen between yesterday afternoon and this morning.
In order to find the thief, the high priest called all the beasts in the city for questioning to see who had acted alone between yesterday afternoon and this morning.
To put it bluntly, it was a review of alibis.
Those beasts without alibis would be called into the temple alone for questioning.
Bai Di and Xuan Wei were drinking together last night. They could testify for each other.
However, when Bi Huan asked where Xuan Wei had gone yesterday afternoon, Bai Di could no longer testify for him.
Because during that period, Xuan Wei had always been alone.
He said he stayed in the house to rest.
Bi Huan stared at him. “You were alone? Are there no other beasts who can prove that you were indeed in the house all afternoon?”
Xuan Wei said calmly, “No.”
Bi Huan glanced at the guard beside him. The guard immediately took two steps forward and walked to Xuan Wei. He said seriously, “I’m sorry, but you need to come with us.”

Bai Di stopped them. “He can’t be the one who stole the Divine Wood.”
Bi Huan’s voice was gentle. “You don’t have to be too nervous. We’re just going to question him a little. As long as we can prove that he’s indeed innocent, we’ll let him go.”
Bai Di still had his doubts. “But…”
Xuan Wei said, “I have a clear conscience. It doesn’t matter even if I go with them.”
Bi Huan smiled. “I ask for your understanding.”
Xuan Wei was taken away by the guards. Bai Di watched them leave with a worried expression.
Bi Huan looked at Bai Di and asked, “You said you were with Huanhuan and Xue Ling yesterday afternoon?”
Bai Di affirmed. “Yes.”
“Right now, none of them are here to testify for you. You need to stay here for a while. When they come and we confirm that their words match yours, we’ll let you go back.”
Bai Di said, “Huanhuan isn’t feeling well. She needs to rest. She won’t be able to come out anytime soon.”
Bi Huan nodded slightly and smiled kindly. “If she can’t come, I can look for her. It’s only a few steps anyway. I can visit her.”
He’d made his point. Bai Di couldn’t even find a reason to refuse.
After Bi Huan left, Xue Hui smiled apologetically at Bai Di. “I’m sorry for making you suffer this time.”
Xue Hui sighed. “The Divine Wood is too important to us. We have to catch the thief and get the Divine Wood back as soon as possible.”
…
With Huanhuan’s previous physical fitness level, after being tortured by Xue Ling for the entire night, she would definitely have to lie in bed for a day and night to recover.
Now that she had been strengthened by the Divine Wood seed, her body’s self-healing ability had increased greatly. In just half a day, she had recovered her spirit and could run and jump.
She immediately dragged Xue Ling over to look for Bai Di.
When they arrived at the temple, most of the beasts at the entrance had already gone home. They had asked most of the questions they needed to ask, but all the suspicious beasts were detained. They had to wait for further investigation.
When Xue Hui saw Huanhuan, she immediately said, “You came at the right time. Lord Bi Huan was about to look for you.”
“Why are you looking for us?”
“Bai Di said he was with you all yesterday afternoon,” said Xue Li. “Is Bai Di telling the truth?”

“Of course, it’s true,” Huanhuan replied without hesitation. “The three of us were working together yesterday afternoon. Many beasts in the city saw us. They can testify for us.”
“Then did you and Xue Ling go into the forest to mate?” The words were uttered in a questioning tone, but she sounded certain.
When Huanhuan walked over, Xue Hui smelled blood plumes all over her. It was obvious that she had just mated.
Huanhuan blushed and replied softly, “Yes.”
Xue Hui glanced at Xue Ling beside her and smiled meaningfully. “Congratulations. You’ve finally become her official mate.”
Xue Ling’s lips curled up. He clearly enjoyed this.
Huanhuan asked where Bai Di and Xuan Wei were.
Xue Hui said, “Xuan Wei acted alone yesterday afternoon. For the time being, we can’t find anyone to testify for him. In addition, he’s an outsider and is very strong. He has a strong motive and no alibi, so he’s very suspicious now. He might not be released until we find the real thief.”
Huanhuan immediately panicked. “Xuan Wei couldn’t have stolen the Divine Wood. What can he do with a piece of wood?!”
“That’s not ordinary wood. It’s Divine Wood. It’s said that putting it into medicine has the effect of reviving the dead.”
Huanhuan insisted that Xuan Wei was innocent. This matter could not have anything to do with him.
She said, “You’re just guessing now. There’s no substantial evidence to prove that Xuan Wei is the thief.”
Xue Hui nodded. “That’s right. We don’t have any evidence, so you don’t have to worry about us harming Xuan Wei. Other than restricting his freedom, we’ll treat him like a VIP. We won’t neglect him.”
With Xue Hui’s promise, Huanhuan relaxed. “What about Bai Di? Can I see him?”
“Of course, but Lord Bi Huan specially instructed that before you see Bai Di, you have to see Lord Bi Huan and tell him what you did yesterday.”
Huanhuan followed Xue Hui into the temple and went to the second floor. She saw Bi Huan flipping through a sheepskin scroll.
When Bi Huan saw them, he put down the sheepskin scroll and smiled. “Let’s sit down and talk.”
Huanhuan and Xue Ling sat on the wooden stools there.
Bi Huan said, “Xue Hui must have told you everything, right?”
Huanhuan nodded and said yes.
“Then can you tell me where you went yesterday and what you did?”
Huanhuan thought back, then carefully recounted yesterday’s events.
After hearing her story, Bi Huan nodded. “What you said is basically the same as what Bai Di said. It seems neither of you is lying.”
