When Beauty Meets Beasts
845 How Half-Hearted!
Leng Xiao was very efficient.
The next morning, a notice of the crimes committed by the first elder was posted on the city’s notice board. Someone was stationed there to read it aloud.
In just a day, the news of the first elder plotting to kill the new prophet and usurp the throne spread throughout the entire City of 10,000 Beasts.
No one expected the respected elder to be so ambitious.
!!
If the prophet had not been savvy and made preparations in advance, she would have been beheaded and the first elder would’ve succeeded.
The crime he committed was punishable by death.
The so-called capital punishment was to brand the prisoner with marks that represented the crime. Then, they would tie the prisoner to a stone pillar and place them under the sun until the prisoner was dried up.
This was not the end.
The dried corpse would be sent to the forbidden area in the mountain. Their soul would never be able to reincarnate.
It was said that this punishment was specially used to deal with serious criminals.
Huanhuan felt that drying someone alive was too long. Not only was it a form of torture, but it was also a waste of time.
Wouldn’t it be much simpler to just execute him?
Jian Yi said respectfully, “It’s too easy of a punishment considering he tried to kill you. This won’t be able to intimidate others. You’ve just succeeded the throne. You have to be cold and decisive. You have to make everyone fear you from the bottom of their hearts.”
Huanhuan muttered softly, “Won’t I become a tyrant…”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing.” Huanhuan coughed lightly. “Then let’s do as you say.”
“Alright.”
Jian Yi lowered his head and left the room. The door was closed, leaving Huanhuan alone in the room.
She rested her chin on one hand and began to think about what gifts she should give to the four guys at home.
She had to make a gift for each of them herself, and it couldn’t be the same. She only had ten days…
“I might as well make clothes for each of them. Each one will be of a different color. It’ll be fine after changing the style a little.”
Little Brat slowly reminded her, “With your skills, are you sure you can make four completely different sets of clothes in ten days?”
“…I-I don’t think so.”
It usually took her at least a day to make a small dress for herself. If it was for Bai Di and the others, it would take her three to four days just to make one set of clothes.
Little Brat continued to add fuel to the fire. “Even if you work day and night, do you think the clothes you make can really be given away?”
Bai Di and Sang Ye were the best at making clothes at home. Usually, the two of them did all the sewing at home.
Huanhuan would occasionally make her own undergarments. As she wore them inside, it didn’t matter even if they were ugly.
But it was different when it came to making clothes for people. They had to be beautiful and exquisite.
Huanhuan could not meet either of these requirements.
She flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, “If I can’t make clothes, I’ll make handkerchiefs. I’ll embroider their names on them. That way, they’ll be different.”
Little Brat said, “How half-hearted can you get?”
Huanhuan was very discouraged. “If I can’t make clothes and handkerchiefs are half-hearted, what should I make them?”
“Don’t say I won’t help you. I have a book here. Take it and read it.”
A sheepskin book appeared out of thin air in front of Huanhuan.
There was a line of big words on the cover, ‘365 Moves to Flirt with a Hero’.
Huanhuan casually flipped through two pages. They were filled with tips on how to flirt with men. There was a chapter specially used to talk about giving gifts.
She stared at the chapter and read.
The door was pulled open, and Bai Di walked in. “Huanhuan, we have a guest.”
Huanhuan was so frightened that she quickly stuffed the sheepskin book into her dress.
She sat up straight and looked serious. “What guest?”
“The king of beasts is here. He said he wants to talk to you in person.”
“Oh, you can go out first. I’ll be out soon after changing.”
Bai Di didn’t move. His gaze roamed over her.
“What were you looking at?”
“Nothing. It’s just a book.”
Bai Di asked gently, “Can you show me that book?”
Huanhuan refused without thinking. “No!”
Disappointment appeared in Bai Di’s eyes. “You really don’t trust us? Now you won’t even show me a book. I’d better go back.”
He turned to leave.
Huanhuan quickly asked, “Where are you going?”
“I’ll go back to the rock mountain and never appear in front of you again, lest you’re embarrassed by me again.”
Bai Di walked out the door.
Frightened, Huanhuan pounced on him and hugged his leg. “Don’t go!”
...
Bai Di was unmoved and insisted on leaving.
Huanhuan was helpless and could only choose to compromise. “Alright, I’ll give you the book to read, but we have a deal. You can only take a look. I’ll put it away after you’re done.”
Bai Di retracted his front foot and smiled. “Okay,” he said gently.
Huanhuan reached under her dress for the book, but she missed.
Puzzled, she lifted her skirt and looked down to see that the book had fallen to the ground.
She must have accidentally dropped the book when she pounced on him and hugged him.
She was about to reach for it, but she was too late.
Bai Di picked up the sheepskin book first.
“We’ve agreed that you’ll only take a look!” The alarm in Huanhuan’s heart rang. She pounced forward to snatch the book back.
Unfortunately, she was too short.
Bai Di raised his hand, and the book was lifted. No matter how hard she jumped, she couldn’t reach the sheepskin book.
...
The sadness of having short legs was so infuriating!
She shouted anxiously, “Give me back the book!”
Bai Di didn’t think there was anything wrong with the book, but he was curious to see her reaction. He looked up at the sheepskin book in his hand and saw the words on the cover.
‘365 Moves to Flirt with a Hero’.
Thanks to Huanhuan, he also learned a lot of simplified Chinese characters and numbers.
Unfortunately, he recognized all the words on it.
Bai Di looked down at her, his tone so gentle that it almost overflowed. “Why are you reading such a book? Are you going to flirt with a few more male beasts and have them be your mates?”
Huanhuan shook her head quickly and said no.
“Liar.”
Huanhuan was about to cry. “I’m not lying. I’m telling the truth!”
Bai Di shook his head. “They say females like the new and hate the old. I didn’t think you were like that, but…”
Huanhuan couldn’t defend herself. “What can I do to make you believe me?”
Bai Di returned the book to her.
“Burn it and I’ll believe you.”
Huanhuan quickly said, “Alright, I’ll burn it later. Let’s go see the king of all beasts first. We shouldn’t let him wait too long.”
She hadn’t finished reading this book yet. She couldn’t burn it for the time being. She had to muddle through it first.
“No. Burn it now. I want to see you burn it.”
“…”
What else could Huanhuan do?
She could only light the sheepskin book in front of Bai Di.
Bai Di wasn’t satisfied until it was completely reduced to ashes. “Alright, I’ll accompany you to see the king of beasts now.”

Huanhuan was already guilty, so she felt even more uncomfortable under his gaze. “I-Is there anything else?”“What were you looking at?”
“Nothing. It’s just a book.”
