Bad Intentions

“Don’t worry, don’t be afraid. It’s a good thing. I’m going to appoint you as the high priest of the Sun God Temple.”

The second elder was stunned, then shouted, “I don’t want to!”

He was a member of the Elders’ Association. If the first elder found out that he had accepted Lin Huanhuan’s appointment to become the high priest of the Sun God Temple, he would definitely think that he had something shameful going on with Lin Huanhuan.

At that time, he would really be caught between a rock and a hard place.

Huanhuan pressed his shoulder and smiled. “I’m here to inform you, not discuss it with you. You have no right to refuse.”

The second elder’s expression was ugly, but he did not dare to refute it.

“Don’t forget that you still have a puppet worm in your body. Even if you return to the City of 10,000 Beasts and see your first elder, he won’t be able to save you.”

Seeing that he was silent, Huanhuan couldn’t help but smile. “You don’t believe me?”

The second elder did not believe it.

The first elder was the one who obtained this puppet worm. He should know how to deal with it.

As long as he met him, the second elder felt that he could still be saved.

Huanhuan didn’t say anything else. “When we reach the City of 10,000 Beasts and see the first elder, you’ll naturally give up.”

“You’ll let me see the first elder?”

“Of course. I’m a very open-minded master.”

The second elder’s lips twitched when he heard the word ‘master’. He thought to himself, ‘How dare a little girl call herself my master? Isn’t she afraid of shortening her lifespan?!’

In front of her, however, he only dared to keep these words to himself.

They made stops along the way before finally reaching the City of 10,000 Beasts.

The hottest summer of the year had passed, and autumn had arrived. The climate had cooled.

There was a group of people standing outside the city, but on a closer look, they were actually two groups of people. They stood on either side.

On the left were the elders led by the third elder, and on the right were the divine servants of the 10,000 Beast Temple led by Jian Yi.

The third elder’s gaze swept across the many divine servants before stopping on Jian Yi. He said arrogantly, “The person sent to welcome Lin Huanhuan this time is the second elder. He’s a member of our Elders’ Association. Who are you to interfere?!”

Jian Yi smiled coldly. “Lady Huanhuan is the heir appointed by the prophet. Of course, we have to welcome her, lest she’s plotted against by someone with ill intentions on the way.”

“Who did you say has ill intentions?”

“The person who responded to my statement!”

“You’re just a divine servant. How dare you speak to me like that? You’re courting death!”

“Then what are you? You’re just a dog raised by the first elder.”

…

The two of them quarreled even more. Just as they were about to fight, someone suddenly shouted, “They’re here!”

Third Elder and Jian Yi stopped talking at the same time and craned their necks to look.

A mighty group appeared in their vision. As they gradually approached, they gradually saw their faces clearly. The person walking at the front of the group was Shuang Yun!

The Silvery Frost White Wolf’s silver-white fur shone brightly in the sun.

Sure enough, they were here!

Jian Yi reacted extremely quickly. He immediately ran in the direction of the Silvery Frost White Wolf, followed by the divine servants.

Seeing that they were already running, the third elder was naturally unwilling to fall behind. He immediately followed with his followers.

At this moment, Huanhuan was sitting on the white tiger’s back and basking in the sun comfortably.

She suddenly noticed a group of people running over. She quickly sat up straight and was a little nervous. “There are many people ahead!”

Xue Ling descended from the sky and landed steadily beside her.

“I flew over to take a look just now. Up ahead are the people from the Elders’ Association and the 10,000 Beast Temple. They’re all here to welcome you.”

Huanhuan relaxed. “I see.”

Soon, the people from the Elders’ Association and the 10,000 Beast Temple arrived in front of them.

Jian Yi and the others were a little faster. They rushed to Huanhuan and knelt on one knee. They shouted in unison, “Welcome, Lady Huanhuan!”

Huanhuan was stunned by their actions.

Before she could recover, Third Elder had already bent down with his men. “Welcome, Lady Huanhuan!”

Huanhuan did not expect to enjoy such treatment before she even entered the city. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. She casually waved her hand. “Get up.”

Everyone stood up straight.

Jian Yi took a step forward. “Lady Huanhuan, please follow us to the 10,000 Beast Temple. We’ve already prepared a place for you to rest.”

Third Elder immediately said, “Lady Huanhuan, please follow us to the largest inn in the city. Not only have we prepared the most comfortable residence for you, but we’ve also specially cooked the most delicious food for you.”

Jian Yi frowned. “As the heir of the prophet, Lady Huanhuan should stay in the 10,000 Beast Temple!”

Third Elder raised his chin. “Lady Huanhuan is of noble status. She can stay wherever she wants!”

“Is the Elders’ Association really prepared to go against us to the end?!”

“You’re wrong. We just want to show our respect to Lady Huanhuan!”

…

Seeing that they were arguing, Huanhuan did not want to disturb them. Unfortunately, it was late. Everyone had worked hard to travel and was already tired and hungry.

She couldn’t bear to let everyone stand here and listen to others argue, so she interrupted the argument between Jian Yi and Third Elder.

“We’ll stay in the inn for two days. We’ll take a look at the 10,000 Beast Temple after we’ve settled the people we brought.”

Jian Yi opened his mouth to say something, but Huanhuan waved her hand.

“I know what you’re going to say. Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Hearing her say this, even if Jian Yi still had doubts, he could only shut up and not say anything else.

Third Elder’s complexion was slightly better, and his face involuntarily revealed a smug expression. He smiled and said, “Lady Huanhuan is really wise!”

Huanhuan didn’t want to waste her breath on them. “Let’s go.”

After entering the city, Huanhuan and her four mates checked into the largest inn in the city.

This place was called an inn, but it was actually more like a small independent villa. It had two floors and a small courtyard. The environment was indeed very good.

Third Elder smiled and said, “If you’re dissatisfied with anything, you can tell me at any time. I’ll definitely do my best to satisfy any of your requests.”

Huanhuan said slowly, “We want to rest. You can go back first.”

“Okay.”

The third elder looked at the second elder and asked him if he wanted to leave with him.

The second elder subconsciously looked at Lin Huanhuan.

His action was not obvious, but Third Elder still saw it.

Third Elder was slightly shocked.

Did the second elder need Lin Huanhuan’s permission to leave?

When did he become so obedient to Lin Huanhuan?

Recalling the rumors he had heard over the past two days, countless thoughts instantly popped into Third Elder’s mind.
