Chapter 721: 720 Uneasy

Shuang Yun scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Huanhuan's mouth.

Huanhuan first looked at the porridge. The color was normal. She leaned over and sniffed it. It smelled a little fragrant.

She was skeptical. "You didn't make this porridge, did you?"

With Shuang Yun's culinary skills, not to mention the taste, just the color and smell alone could not reach this level.

Shuang Yun did not expect to be exposed so quickly. He said resentfully, "Mu Xiang cooked it."

He had planned to use this pot of porridge to convince them of his culinary skills, but it seemed that he had failed.

"Since you didn't cook it, we're relieved!"

Huanhuan picked up a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Eggy. "Don't worry. Hurry up and eat."

Eggy fell into the bowl and ate the porridge.

Shuang Yun: "…"

He felt as if his heart was filled with knives.

Huanhuan's appetite was not good. She could not even take two bites.

Although Shuang Yun was very worried that she would starve, he did not force her to eat more, lest she vomit again. That would hurt her body even more.

There was no one else at home. Shuang Yun could finally occupy Huanhuan's bed openly!

Even if he could only sleep under the blanket, he was very happy.

Shuang Yun lay on the bed, hugging his beloved little female and chatting lazily with her. "Did you have a good chat with Mu Xiang and the others today?"

"Yes, I was quite happy."

"What did you talk about?"

"We talked about who's the most handsome male beast in the city."

Shuang Yun shook his chest and said confidently, "Of course, I'm the most handsome male beast in Rock City!"

"…But they don't think it's you."

Shuang Yun was very unhappy. "They're blind! I feel sorry for their low aesthetic standards!"

Huanhuan couldn't help but laugh.

Shuang Yun curled a strand of her long hair and asked casually, "Then who do you think is the most handsome male beast in the city?"

He didn't look like he cared about the answer, but the tips of his ears perked up involuntarily.

Huanhuan wanted to say that everyone was similarly handsome.

However, she suddenly had an epiphany. Her EQ activated in time, and her words became, "Of course, you're the most handsome!"

The tips of Shuang Yun's ears immediately turned red.

He hugged Huanhuan tightly. He was overjoyed, but he deliberately snorted. "It seems that you have good taste. As expected of the female mate I like!"

Huanhuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She thought to herself, 'As long as you're happy.'

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Huanhuan woke up with a start. She opened her eyes and saw that Shuang Yun had sat up.

"What happened?"

Shuang Yun said as he got dressed, "I don't know yet. I'm going out to take a look. Go to sleep and wait for me to come back."

"Mhm."

After Shuang Yun left, Huanhuan was filled with worry and did not fall asleep.

Shuang Yun didn't return until dawn the next day.

But he didn't enter. He stood outside the door and spoke to Huanhuan before leaving in a hurry.

Huanhuan couldn't go out. She had no idea what was going on outside, but she felt vaguely uneasy.

It didn't take long for Mu Xiang to arrive with the others.

They helped make breakfast for Huanhuan.

Huanhuan's appetite was still weak. She forced herself to take two small bites, while the rest went into Eggy's stomach.

Mu Xiang brought bad news today.

"I heard that there's a plague in the city!"

Huanhuan froze when she heard this.

She quickly asked, "What plague? Is it serious?"

"I heard that two beasts brought the plague from outside. When they entered the city, the guards realized that something was wrong and detained them on the spot. Last night, they suddenly died of illness. After Dong Ya's examination, he said that they were suffering from the plague."

Huanhuan remembered that Shuang Yun was suddenly called away last night. He must have gone to deal with the plague last night.

Mu Xiang said as she munched on sunflower seeds, "Last night, Jiu Yuan was busy with this matter. He was busy until dawn today, but when he arrived home, he didn't even let me touch him. He hid in the house alone."

"Why?"

"He said the disease was contagious. Last night, he came into contact with two dead patients. He was worried that he was also infected, so he didn't dare approach me."

When Huanhuan heard this, she immediately understood why Shuang Yun stood at the door and refused to come in after returning.

Like Jiu Yuan, he probably did not dare to approach his mate for fear of spreading the disease to his family.

Huanhuan quickly asked, "What about now? Is anyone infected?"

"One of the beasts is infected. It's the beast soldier who was in charge of watching over the two patients yesterday. He's now in isolation. Dong Ya is thinking of a way to save him."

This news made the females uneasy.

Usually, if such a plague happened, Huanhuan would definitely step forward to resolve it. However, she was pregnant now, so it was not convenient for her to step forward.

Huanhuan couldn't help but think deeply. First, a piece of her soul was snatched away, then Bai Di was attacked. Sang Ye, Xue Ling, Yun Hui, and Shuang Yin had all left home as well. Only Shuang Yun, her daughter, and she were left at home. At this juncture, there was suddenly a plague…

These things appeared one after another as if someone had planned all of it.

The uneasiness in her grew more and more obvious.

Mu Xiang noticed the change in her expression and thought she was worried about the plague. She smiled and comforted her.

"Don't worry too much. It's not like our rock mountain has never had a plague before. It was much more serious than this in the past. In the end, we were all treated. We'll definitely be fine this time."

Huanhuan replied distractedly, "Yes."

If only Little Brat were here, she could have someone to discuss things with.

She wondered how Little Brat was doing now.

After she gave birth, she would find a chance to go to the City of 10,000 Beasts and ask the prophet about Little Brat.

At noon, Mu Xiang helped make lunch.

"The cooked food is on the stove so that it can stay warm. The fire hasn't gone out. When Shuang Yun comes back, ask him to put it out. We'll go back first."

Huanhuan invited them to stay for lunch, but they declined with a smile.

After the females left, Huanhuan waited at home for Shuang Yun to return.

Eggy rested in her mother's arms.

She thought she heard something and suddenly looked up, staring warily at the door.

Huanhuan noticed her abnormality and thought that Shuang Yun was back. She immediately looked in the direction of the door and said, "Why are you back so early today…"

Before she could finish, she smelled something strange.

It was the smell of knockout powder!

Alarm bells rang in Huanhuan's heart. She immediately covered Eggy's mouth and nose to prevent her from inhaling the drug.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Eggy had closed her eyes and involuntarily fell unconscious.

The door was pushed open, and Tao Wei walked in with his walking cane. He lowered his head and blew the remaining powder off his palm. His gaze swept across Huanhuan. "I didn't expect the knockout powder to not work on you. I really miscalculated."

Huanhuan hugged Eggy and retreated. She stared at him warily. "Why are you here? What do you want?"

The lotus had already opened its petals and was on guard.
