"There are no buts. I want to be the prophet so that I can become stronger and protect my family. No matter what your race is, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Huanhuan's tone was relaxed and ordinary, but the determination in her words moved everyone present.
Unable to resist, Shuang Yun picked her up and kissed her cheek hard.
"How lucky we are to be your mates!"
Huanhuan blushed at the praise.
When it was late at night, everyone smiled. Only Yun Hui in the corner looked especially lonely.
The liveliness in the room had nothing to do with him.
He turned, pushed open the door, and walked out silently.
Bai Di seemed to sense something. He looked back at the door but didn't say anything.
As the night deepened, everyone prepared to return to their rooms to sleep.
Xue Ling took a shower as quickly as possible, but when he came out after getting dressed, he realized that Huanhuan had already been carried away by Shuang Yun!
At this moment, Shuang Yun had already pressed Huanhuan under him, preparing to repeat last night's happy scene. Unexpectedly, Xue Ling happened to rush in.
Xue Ling wanted to take Huanhuan away.
"I've been separated from Huanhuan for so long. It wasn't easy for us to reunite today. How dare you snatch her from me?"
Shuang Yun replied readily, "I do dare!"
Seeing how shameless he was, Xue Ling couldn't be bothered to waste his breath. He rushed forward and prepared to snatch him away.
Shuang Yun hugged Huanhuan and refused to let go.
Neither side was willing to retreat.
Huanhuan's clothes were torn into a mess by them. Even her head was dizzy from the noise.
She shouted, "Stop arguing!"
Xue Ling said, "Huanhuan, don't be anxious. After I deal with this big-tailed wolf, I'll bring you to rest."
Shuang Yun said, "Huanhuan, don't be fooled by him. If this flashy bird kidnaps you to his room, you won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight."
"Do you have the cheek to criticize me?!"
"I'm telling the truth!"
…
The two of them argued and started fighting. The blankets and pillows were thrown everywhere.
Huanhuan covered her head and struggled out of the battle between the two of them. She crawled toward the door with difficulty and called out, "Sang Ye, Bai Di, help…"
The door was pushed open from the outside!
Huanhuan couldn't dodge in time, and the door hit her head!
There was a muffled bang.
It hurt so much that she lay on the ground for a long time.
The person who opened the door was Sang Ye.
He stayed next door. When he heard Huanhuan call his name just now, he immediately came over and knocked. When he realized that no one was opening the door, he pushed it open.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Huanhuan lying on the ground. Shuang Yun and Xue Ling were still fighting. The two of them were almost tearing down the house.
Sang Ye bent down and picked Huanhuan up. Seeing that she was covering her head, he quickly asked, "What happened to your head?"
Huanhuan was in pain. "I hit the door."
"You're too careless. Be careful when you walk next time."
Huanhuan couldn't speak.
Sang Ye couldn't be bothered with Shuang Yun and Xue Ling. He carried Huanhuan and turned to walk out. As he walked, he said, "You can't stay in your room anymore. Sleep at my place tonight… okay?"
The last word sounded ethereal and hesitant.
He already felt that his identity was not presentable. Now that Huanhuan had become the successor of the prophet, she would soon stand at a height where everyone would have to look up at her. He felt even more like a stain.
A stain that could make her guilty at any moment.
Hence, even if it was a small matter like where to sleep at night, he could not be as unyielding as her other three mates and help her make decisions.
He did not even dare to take the initiative to fight for it.
Huanhuan agreed readily. "I'll sleep with you tonight."
Sang Ye was very happy.
But he was used to not smiling. Even though he was happy, his face was still expressionless.
Even so, Huanhuan could still feel his happiness.
It was because his steps had become much lighter.
Sang Ye liked things to be quiet, so his room had no windows. There were walls on three sides. When he pushed open the door and walked in, the light was very dim.
Darkness was nothing to beasts, but it was a big problem for Huanhuan.
Sang Ye placed her on the bed, took out a torch from his space, lit it, and stuck it into the wall.
He pulled Huanhuan's hand away and cupped her small face. He saw that her forehead was red from the impact.
Sang Ye opened his mouth and flicked out his snake tongue.
His scarlet snake tongue swept across her forehead. The warm touch made her feel electric jolts.
"Does it hurt?"
Huanhuan said that it was fine.
"Let me apply some medicine for you."
Huanhuan shook her head. "No, my self-healing ability is pretty good. I'll be fine when I wake up."
Sang Ye made the bed and let her sleep inside while he slept outside.
It was midsummer. Even at night, the temperature was high.
Huanhuan involuntarily snuggled into Sang Ye's arms. His body was cold. Hugging him was like hugging a large block of ice. It was especially cool.
Sang Ye hugged her and rested his chin on the top of her head. There was an imperceptible tenderness in his dark eyes.
Although he knew that he might make her a sinner, he still couldn't bear to let go of her.
He admitted that he was selfish.
He also admitted that he was greedy.
But he had no choice. He couldn't live without her.
When Clement emerged from Huanhuan's sleeve and saw his mother in Sang Ye's arms, he was furious.
He opened his mouth and bit Sang Ye's arm!
'Let go of my mother!'
Sang Ye accurately pinched Clement's weak spot.
Clement could not break free. He could only grimace at Sang Ye and try his best to show his ferocious side.
'Let go of me or I'll eat you!'
Sang Ye stared at him for a moment before finally making up his mind.
Sang Ye gently pushed Huanhuan away and silently pulled open the door. He left the house in the dark.
At this moment, everyone was asleep. Other than the patrol team, the road was empty.
Sang Ye successfully went down the mountain and arrived at the bamboo forest behind the mountain.
There were many bones buried in the bamboo forest. It was very eerie in the day, not to mention that it was the middle of the night now. When the night wind blew, the bamboo swayed in the wind like ghosts. It was like watching a horror movie.
However, Sang Ye did not even look at the bamboo forest and casually threw Clement to the ground.
After he landed, he quickly turned around and pounced at Sang Ye again!
Sang Ye grabbed him again, his voice cold.
"You can't bite me. Give up."
Clement was extremely angry and transformed into a heaven-devouring python.
He opened his bloody mouth.
'Let's see how you can catch me now!'
When he bit down, Sang Ye retreated and dodged. At the same time, he transformed into a black python with red patterns.
In terms of size, Clement was even larger than Sang Ye, but Sang Ye was extremely fast. No matter how Clement attacked, he could not hurt Sang Ye.
