When Beauty Meets Beasts - Chapter 819
819 Don’t Go Too Far
Jiu Yuan ran into the house with Eggy and shouted.
“Lady Huanhuan, come and take a look at Eggy. She seems to be dying!”
As soon as Jiu Yuan finished speaking, Xue Ling had already landed in front of him.
Xue Ling snatched Eggy and touched her gradually turning cold body. Shock, grief, and anger swept over him at the same time, almost completely engulfing his rationality.
What was going on?
How did Eggy become like this?!
At this moment, Huanhuan and the others had already walked over.
“Show me.” Huanhuan reached out and picked Eggy up. She examined her carefully and found a small wound on her leg.
It was obvious that the wound was caused by a snake.
Huanhuan subconsciously glanced at Sang Ye.
As a snake beast, Sang Ye naturally knew very well about the wounds left by snake beasts. He could tell at a glance that the wound was caused by Clement.
But he said nothing.
Although he didn’t like to be kind, that child was still his son. Even if something happened, he should take the blame.
Xue Ling could also tell that the wound was caused by snake fangs. Without thinking, he grabbed Sang Ye’s lapel and questioned angrily, “There are only two snake beasts on the rock mountain. One is you, and the other is Clement!”
Sang Ye did not dodge. “Sorry.”
Xue Ling shouted, “Eggy is injured! Do you think you can resolve it just by saying sorry?!”
Bai Di pressed his shoulder. “The most important thing now is to treat Eggy. We’ll talk about other things later.”
Huanhuan also said, “Stop arguing. I’ll bring Eggy upstairs first. Hurry up and get Clement back.”
For Huanhuan and Bai Di’s sake, Xue Ling barely suppressed his anger.
He followed Eggy upstairs.
Shuang Yun said to Bai Di, “Stay at home and take care of them. I’ll go outside and look for Clement.”
Bai Di agreed. “Okay.”
Shuang Yun gestured for Jiu Yuan to follow him. Sang Ye immediately said, “I’ll go with you. I’m his father. I know better than anyone how to find him as soon as possible.”
“Alright, you’re coming too.”
The three of them left the house in a hurry. Bai Di walked up to the second floor. He noticed that a small hole had been bitten into the bedroom door. There were also a lot of wood dregs scattered beside it. From the bite mark on the small hole, it must have been from a snake’s teeth.
There were only two snake beasts at home. Sang Ye’s snake teeth were much larger than his snake teeth, so this small hole must have been bitten by Clement.
Bai Di thought that Clement must have been locked out last night and thought of biting the door to get in.
That child was especially dependent on Huanhuan. Even though he was locked outside the door, he only thought of trying his best to look for Huanhuan instead of asking others for help.
Now that he knew he had made a mistake, he was probably hiding in a corner outside, not daring to come home for fear of being scolded by Huanhuan.
Bai Di walked into the bedroom and saw Huanhuan bite her finger and squeeze out blood to feed it to Eggy.
Eggy was unconscious now and could not swallow.
Helpless, Huanhuan could only settle for the next best thing. She smeared her blood on Eggy’s wound.
Xue Ling stared at the wound without blinking.
Bai Di joined him, and Huanhuan looked up at him. “Where are the others?” she whispered.
“They’re all out looking for Clement.”
Xue Ling’s expression was ugly. Eggy was his life. If anything happened to Eggy, he would definitely fight Sang Ye to the death!
The wound that was originally black and purple healed at a visible speed.
Huanhuan touched to feel Eggy’s temperature. It was gradually returning to normal.
A moment later, Eggy opened her eyes bit by bit and let out a weak sound. “Chirp…”
Huanhuan’s and Xue Ling’s hearts ached.
Xue Ling gently stroked his daughter’s wings. “Does it still hurt?”
Eggy said it didn’t hurt anymore.
“That’s good…”
Eggy flapped her wings and wanted to stand up, but because her injuries were not completely healed, she fell back down as soon as she got up.
Huanhuan quickly held her. “Rest well. Don’t move.”
Eggy muttered softly, “I have to exercise. I want to lose weight…”
Xue Ling frowned and said, “Why do you wanna lose weight? Aren’t you quite cute like this?!”
“You look down on me for being fat!”
Xue Ling was very calm. “Did I say that? Why don’t I remember?”
“You did! You did! Don’t even think about denying it!”
“Alright, alright. I was wrong. I won’t say that you’re fat again. Don’t lose weight either. You’re so cute when you’re round like this.”
Eggy lay on the bed and snorted. “It wasn’t easy for me to make up my mind to lose weight. I didn’t expect to be bitten instead of losing weight. That guy, Clement, is too evil!”
Xue Ling said, “I’ll help you teach him a lesson later!”
“I don’t need your help. I want to teach him a lesson myself!”
“Alright, alright. You can do whatever you want.” Eggy had Xue Ling completely wrapped around her finger. He did not carry the dignity of the elder of the feather tribe.
Huanhuan asked Eggy why she was bitten.
Eggy explained the details.
After Huanhuan heard this, she frowned and said, “You shouldn’t have threatened him. He’s a snake beast. He can’t fly without wings. If he falls from such a high place, he’ll lose a layer of skin even if he doesn’t die.”
Clement was not a kind person to begin with. If he was forced, he would definitely bite.
Eggy muttered softly, “I just want to scare him. I didn’t plan to really throw him down. Father told me that I had to use both kindness and force to take in lackeys. I already did him a favor, but he was still disobedient. I could only threaten him.”
After hearing her youngest daughter’s words, Huanhuan glared at Xue Ling and said angrily, “Why did you teach the children these things for no reason?”
Xue Ling coughed lightly. “I’m just worried that she’ll suffer outside.”
Eggy asked where Clement had gone.
Huanhuan said helplessly, “He hasn’t been home since he bit you. We don’t know where he went.”
Xue Ling sneered. “He must be hiding outside because he’s guilty. He doesn’t dare to come home and see us.”
“He’s still a child. He doesn’t understand a lot of things. After we get him back, I’ll teach him a lesson myself. Stay out of it.”
Xue Ling sneered. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to Clement. No matter how shameless I am, I won’t go so far as to attack a child. The matters of the younger generation should be left to the younger generation to resolve. Clement can be left to Eggy to deal with.”
Huanhuan knew that he would not give up so easily. She asked, “Then what are you going to do?”
“Clement is Sang Ye’s child. His son bit my daughter. As a father, he didn’t educate his son well. Of course, I have to talk to him.”
Xue Ling said the last sentence coldly. Clearly, he would not just be using his mouth to settle the matter. If necessary, he had to use his hands.
Huanhuan thought for a moment and finally said something.
“Take it easy. Don’t go overboard.”
Huanhuan knew that Xue Ling usually didn’t take anything to heart, but as long as his bottom line was crossed, he would definitely not let the matter rest. Eggy was clearly his bottom line.
Even if Huanhuan stepped forward to stop him, Xue Ling would just agree not to cause trouble on the surface. However, no one could say what would happen in private.
Instead of letting him secretly play tricks, it was better to let him go to Sang Ye openly to resolve this conflict.
At least she could watch from the side and step in if they really tried to kill each other.
