When Beauty Meets Beasts
520 Her Heart Relented
While Huanhuan and Little Brat were searching the sea for the heart, Xing Chen found Sang Ye.
Sang Ye bowed slightly. “Father.”
Xing Chen’s gaze was like an ice blade as it traveled over his skin. It was slow and sharp, mixed with a chill.
“Where’s the pendant she gave you?”
Sang Ye did not understand why he was asking this, but he still took out the fluorite pendant from the hide pouch he carried with him. “Is this what you’re talking about?”
Xing Chen extended his right hand. “Give it to me.”
Sang Ye placed the pendant in his palm.
Xing Chen brought the pendant in front of him and took a closer look. It was indeed identical to his fluorite pendant.
There was no need for two identical pendants in this world.
The gift Huanhuan gave him had to be unique.
Xing Chen closed his fingers. With a crisp crack, the fluorite pendant was crushed.
When he opened his hand, there was only a pinch of powder left in his palm.
When the wind blew, the powder scattered and disappeared.
Sang Ye’s gaze immediately became extremely gloomy. That was a gift from Huanhuan. Even though it was not worth much, it was still a very meaningful treasure to him.
But it was destroyed by Xing Chen.
Sang Ye should not have felt anger, but at this moment, his mood suddenly became very manic.
He had the urge to kill someone.
Xing Chen warned coldly, “Huanhuan is mine. She can only give me things. If you dare to accept her gifts again, I’ll kill you.”
Sang Ye said word by word, “Huanhuan isn’t yours.”
“If I say she is, then she is!”
Despite knowing that his words might anger the other party, Sang Ye still said, “It’s just your wishful thinking.”
“You’re really bold.” Xing Chen sneered. A black vine grew out of his palm and stabbed Sang Ye!
Sang Ye immediately transformed into a python and dodged the black vine.
The two sides fought.
The consequences of two powerful figures fighting were very strong. The surrounding vegetation was destroyed during their battle.
In the end, Sang Ye was still slightly inferior.
His body was pierced by the black vine, and blood flowed to the ground.
The python lay on the ground, bruised.
Xing Chen retracted his vine and looked at him coldly. “I’m just teaching you a small lesson this time. If I see you approaching Huanhuan again, I’ll kill you.”
As for whether killing Sang Ye would cause chaos in the demons, Xing Chen did not care.
He only cared about Huanhuan.
Huanhuan was his. He would kill anyone who dared to touch her.
Xing Chen turned to leave.
The python was seriously injured and would need to recuperate for a long time to completely recover. However, Huanhuan did not know about this. She was still searching for the heart of the Soul-Devouring Vine in the Sea of Illusions.
When Xing Chen returned to the Sea of Illusions, Huanhuan immediately stopped searching and put away the Demon Scroll.
She pretended that nothing had happened and watered the vegetable fields and bamboo forest as usual.
Xing Chen did not mention teaching Sang Ye a lesson.
He saw Huanhuan running around with a bucket and took the initiative to help her carry the water.
Huanhuan was very surprised. “Why are you so diligent today?”
Usually, he would only be willing to move if she instructed him. Now, he was actually willing to take the initiative to work. How rare!
“I’m making peanut candy today.”
After Huanhuan finished watering the plants, she lit a fire and poured the honey into a pot to heat it up into syrup. Then, she brought it out and poured it into a bowl. She sprinkled the stir-fried peanuts in and folded them into the sticky syrup.
After the syrup cooled, Huanhuan picked up a piece of peanut candy and brought it to Xing Chen’s mouth. “Try it.”
Xing Chen hesitated before opening his mouth and biting into the peanut candy.
The sweet taste swept through his taste buds.
This was a taste Xing Chen had never experienced before. He slowly chewed the peanut candy and swallowed it. The remaining sweetness still filled his mouth.
He wasn’t used to the smell, but he didn’t hate it.
Huanhuan asked, “Is it delicious?”
“It’s alright.”
Huanhuan stuffed the peanut candy into his bowl. “Eat more if you like. After that, we’ll go to the underground city to buy some honey.”
Xing Chen hugged the wooden bowl filled with peanut candy and stood beside her. He ate the candy while watching her continue to work.
He asked, “What else are you going to do?”
“I’ll stir-fry those wild fruits.”
Huanhuan washed the stone pot, washed the black wild fruits, and drained them. Then, she placed them in the pot and stir-fried them.
Before long, a fragrance filled the air.
After she finished stir-frying the black wild fruits, she also fried the peanuts in the pot.
Huanhuan spread out the stir-fried black wild fruits and peanuts to cool.
The longer Xing Chen spent with her, the more he realized that she was a foodie. As long as it was about food, it didn’t matter even if she had to busy herself the entire day. She wouldn’t get impatient at all.
Thanks to her, Xing Chen also tasted many delicious foods he had never eaten before.
Their lives were stable and comfortable.
Huanhuan even almost forgot her original mission.
She had yet to find the heart of the Soul-Devouring Vine.
While Xing Chen was drawing, Huanhuan squatted in the bamboo forest. As she dug for bamboo shoots, she complained softly, “The Sea of Illusions is too big. Finding a small heart here is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.”
Little Brat snorted. “From the looks of it, you don’t want to find the heart.”
Huanhuan pretended to be stupid. “No, I really can’t find it!”
“Stop pretending. Do you think I don’t know? You’ve been eating and drinking all this time. You’ve been living a comfortable life with Xing Chen. You’ve never thought of finding Xing Chen’s heart to kill him.”
After being exposed, Huanhuan did not look embarrassed. She wiped the soil off the surface of the bamboo shoot and muttered softly, “Look at Xing Chen now. He’s so cute. No one can bring themselves to do it.”
“So you’re saying you want to give up the mission the prophet gave you?”
“You can’t say I’ve given up. Let’s just wait and see. Anyway, I haven’t found his heart yet. Let’s wait until we find it.”
Human hearts were made of flesh. Huanhuan had lived with Xing Chen for so long. Even if she had deliberately approached him with bad intentions, after this period of time, her desire to kill him became less and less firm.
Her heart had softened.
But she had promised the prophet that she would help get rid of Xing Chen.
One could not go back on one’s word.
Huanhuan was very conflicted now. She didn’t know what to do, so she could only stall.
She would stall for as long as she could until she couldn’t do it anymore. Then, she would think of a way to resolve the problem.
The meat and honey Huanhuan bought last time were quickly finished. She decided to go to the underground city again.
She and Xing Chen left the Sea of Illusions.
Huanhuan went to look for Sang Ye as usual, but she could not find him. In the end, she learned from Tao Wei that Sang Ye was injured.
And he was quite seriously injured too.

Xing Chen ignored the teasing in her words and asked casually, “What are you planning to cook today?”“I’m making peanut candy today.”
