Chapter 72: Jealousy
A wanted poster required a portrait to determine the target. Lin Huanhuan took the initiative to take on this heavy responsibility.
She had studied art for a few years. Drawing a portrait would be a piece of cake for her.
Lin Huanhuan dipped her finger into animal blood and drew the appearance of Ma Qing on a piece of animal hide.
Before the blood dried, she immediately took another clean piece of hide and placed it over the first portrait to create an identical portrait.
This went on and on. She used the same method to create ten portraits.
Shuang Yun and Bai Di were watching from the side. They were surprised and worried.
Huanhuan not only knew art, but she could also read and draw. She knew too much!
Such an outstanding female. The two of them were really worried that they wouldn’t be worthy of her.
It seemed that they had to work hard to raise their soul beasts’ levels so that they wouldn’t be left behind by the little female in the future.
Lin Huanhuan had no idea that her casual move had inspired her two male mates. She handed the portraits to Shuang Yun and said in embarrassment, “I haven’t drawn in a long time. I’m a little rusty, so I’m not very good at it. Don’t laugh at me!”
Shuang Yun and Bai Di looked at the portraits and felt that they were lifelike. Ma Qing’s facial features were very obvious. Anyone who saw these portraits would definitely be able to recognize him if they saw him!
Shuang Yun looked proud of himself.
“You draw well! No one can draw better than you!”
Lin Huanhuan blushed at the praise.
Shuang Yun carefully put the portraits away. He suddenly asked, “In the future, when our cubs are born, can you teach them to draw and write?”
He shut up after that, feeling a little anxious.
Language knowledge was very precious. Only the royal families and those who lived in temples in the main cities could learn the knowledge. Ordinary beasts did not dare to dream about it.
Although he didn’t know why Huanhuan knew so much, it must have been very difficult for her to learn that knowledge. How could he casually ask her to impart that precious knowledge to other beasts?!
Shuang Yun was nervous and was prepared to be rejected.
Unexpectedly, Huanhuan agreed without thinking. “Sure! I don’t know much, but I should be able to teach a few children how to read!”
Not only Shuang Yun, but even Bai Di, who was usually expressionless, looked surprised.
She actually agreed so readily as if she didn’t care about that precious knowledge at all!
Was she too stupid or too honest?!
It was Shuang Yun’s turn to hesitate. “Why don’t you consider it again? After all, knowledge is so precious…”
“What are you talking about? Knowledge is precious, but can it be more precious than our children?!”
Shuang Yun was too touched to speak.
Lin Huanhuan took his and Bai Di’s hands and said seriously, “I’ll teach everything I know to our children. Our lives will definitely improve in the future.”
Shuang Yun and Bai Di were deeply moved by her words.
When they first met Huanhuan, they just thought she was just a cute little female. The longer they spent time with her, the more they discovered her strengths and the stronger their attraction for her became. They fell deeper and deeper in love with her.
Every time they thought they’d been kind to her, they realized it wasn’t enough.
They had to treat her better, so well that she could never leave them again.
…
Everything in the stall they set up today was bought by Meng Li, but there were still many vegetables and fruits in the storage ring.
When no one was looking, they took some out of the space and placed them on the stall to sell.
Shuang Yun brought the portraits to the leader of the Wild Horse Tribe.
A wanted order was not something that could be settled by just the Rock Wolf Tribe alone. They needed the help of other tribes. As a partner who had worked with the Rock Wolf Tribe before, the Wild Horse Tribe naturally became the first target of Shuang Yun’s consideration.
This trip took a long time.
By the time Shuang Yun returned, the sun was almost setting,
With him was Bu Ke, the leader of the Wild Horse Tribe.
Bu Ke was thick-browed, tall, and strong. There was a star pattern in the shape of a wild horse on his bronze face. His short fiery hair blew in the wind. He looked like a clean-cut, straightforward, and generous male beast.
He was a one-starred soul beast.
Shuang Yun hugged Lin Huanhuan and said proudly, “This is my mate. She’s already pregnant with my children. The next time you see me, you should be able to see a group of strong and lively wolf cubs behind us!”
Bu Ke didn’t trust the awkward guy to find a mate, so he insisted on following Shuang Yun here to see for himself.
When he saw the little female beside Shuang Yun, he couldn’t help but be so envious that his eyeballs almost fell out.
They were both patriarchs and soul beasts. Shuang Yun already had a mate and children, but he was still an old bachelor!
No way! Not fair!
Out of courtesy, Lin Huanhuan nodded at Bu Ke. “Hello.”
Although he couldn’t see the little female’s entire face, her eyes were bright and big. Her voice was soft and cute. She must be a very cute and beautiful little female! Bu Ke’s envy grew.
If Bai Di and Shuang Yun weren’t there, Bu Ke would have rushed forward and snatched the little female home!
Bai Di stepped forward to block Bu Ke’s burning gaze. “May I ask why Leader Bu Ke came to look for us?” he asked with a smile.
Faced with a soul beast two levels above him, Bu Ke had no choice but to look away resentfully. “I heard from the witch doctor, Meng Li, that you’re selling vegetables and fruits. The quality is good too, so I’m here to buy some to eat at home.”
As usual, Bai Di let him try some vegetables.
Bu Ke was immediately impressed by the sweet and refreshing vegetables and fruits. With a wave of his hand, he used two colorless crystals to buy all the vegetables and fruits from the stall.
When Bai Di took the colorless crystals, he asked, “Do you have crystals of other colors?”
Instead of answering, Bu Ke asked, “What color do you want?”
“Purple or gold will do. If you don’t have any, green will do too.”
Purple and gold were both medium-grade crystals, but green was a low-grade crystal.
The corners of Bu Ke’s mouth twitched. “You’re quite the talker. You’re asking for medium-grade crystals.”
Bai Di smiled. “Middle-grade crystals are rare, but it’s not impossible to get them. You can exchange for them as you go to the exchange in Beast City. It’s just that I don’t want to travel too far, so I can’t be bothered. If you have mid-grade crystals here, it’ll save me the trouble of running around and exchanging things.”
Only beasts who had awakened their soul beasts were qualified to enter Beast City. However, if they wanted to trade in the Exchange Hall, not only did they have to be a three-starred soul beast and above, but they also had to have a reliable guarantor.
Bai Di’s words immediately made it clear to Bu Ke that this male beast was not only strong but also powerful.
