The tiger star pattern on Bai Di’s waist suddenly lit up.

He held Huanhuan tightly in his arms as if he wanted to rub her into his body. His blue eyes sparkled.

The hot spring glowed with a strange light green light.

The plants beside the hot spring were already withered, but now, they seemed to be revitalized. They absorbed the life force in the spring and quickly grew fresh green buds.

The skullcap suddenly spread out layers of pink petals and sucked in all the life force.

The tender yellow stamens in the petals hugged each other tightly.

When it had absorbed all the life force in the pool, a small green lotus seed pod trembled in the stamen.

Without the support of a life force, the trees beside the hot spring turned yellow again.

The flowers just now seemed to be a dream.

Bai Di and Huanhuan hugged each other tightly.

After a long time, Bai Di came back to his senses.

He calmed his rapid breathing and relaxed a little. Then, he looked down at the star pattern on his waist.

The star pattern had changed again.

The thorny vines on the tiger’s head had become even more complicated. The stars around the tiger also went from four to five.

He had actually advanced again!

Bai Di closed his eyes and felt the power of his inner strength. It was indeed several times stronger than before.

The lotus also retracted its petals and transformed back into a small bud. It quietly stayed on Huanhuan’s head.

Bai Di opened his eyes and looked at the little female in his arms with a complicated expression.

She was so tired that she fell asleep. Her fair face was flushed, and her wet lips were swollen from the kisses. Her wet black hair stuck to her body, outlining her seductive lines.

Bai Di resisted the urge to kiss her between her eyebrows.

If people knew that Huanhuan could help male beasts increase their star patterns, all the male beasts on the entire beast continent would probably go crazy for her!

However, she was so delicate that she would not be able to resist it even if she was kidnapped.

She would become a tool for those male beasts to increase their strength.

Those days would be worse than death for her.

Bai Di hugged her tightly, his voice low and firm.

“I’ll protect you.”

As long as he was around, no one could hurt Huanhuan!

Bai Di found a large, absorbent leaf and helped Huanhuan dry her body and hair.

He carried the sleeping Huanhuan back to the palace, and they fell asleep in each other’s arms.

…

In the bedroom where Bai Ming stayed, an attendant sneaked out.

He was usually by Bai Ming’s side and was in charge of Bai Ming’s daily life. At this moment, Bai Ming was asleep and did not know that the attendant had quietly left.

This attendant avoided the patrolling guards all the way to the divine mountain behind the palace.

There was a temple on the mountain. At the entrance to the temple were a few divine servants.

The attendant bowed and said ingratiatingly, “The high priest asked me to come.”

These divine servants had clearly received the high priest’s instructions. They looked the attendant up and down before standing aside to let him in.

The attendant walked into the temple and met the noble high priest.

Wen Qian was wearing a grayish-white shark silk robe. His eyes were gentle, and there was a compassionate smile on his lips. He emitted a holy glow like a god.

The attendant fell to his knees, his voice trembling from excitement. “Greetings, Your Excellency!”

Wen Qian extended his right hand and helped him up. “Get up and talk.”

The attendant quickly stood up, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

Wen Qian smiled. “I called you here in the middle of the night because I have something to ask you.”

The attendant quickly said, “Please speak, High Priest. I’ll definitely tell you everything!”

“His Majesty has never been well, but today, I saw that he seemed to be getting better. Do you know why?”

The attendant shook his head. “I don’t.”

Wen Qian was not disappointed. He said patiently, “Then tell me who His Majesty saw, what he said, and what he ate today.”

“This morning, I helped His Majesty get up…”

The attendant spoke for a long time and finally finished telling him everything that had happened that day.

Wen Qian was deep in thought. “You’re saying that Lin Huanhuan soaked some dry grass in water for His Majesty to drink?”

“Yes. At the time, I reminded her not to do that. After all, you’ve been helping to nurse His Majesty back to health. What if she makes him eat something he shouldn’t and his condition gets worse? What if she blames you for it?! But she didn’t listen to me. Besides, the second prince trusts her. He even chased me out of the room.”

At this point, the attendant felt wronged.

Wen Qian smiled at him. “Do you still have the dried grass Lin Huanhuan used to soak in the water? I want to take a look at it.”

The attendant quickly said, “That female left a large handful of dried grass before she left, but His Majesty got someone to lock it in the storeroom. I don’t have the key, so I can’t show it to you.”

“It doesn’t matter. You’ve already helped me a lot. In the future, I’ll consider transferring you to the temple and making you a divine servant.”

The attendant’s eyes lit up. “It’s my honor to be at the high priest’s service!” he said excitedly.

“Yes, it’s late. You should go back. Don’t let anyone find out where you’ve been.”

After bidding farewell to the high priest, the attendant quickly ran out of the temple and returned to the palace.

He trembled with excitement at the thought of entering the temple and becoming a noble divine servant.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck!

Bai Luo’s face appeared in the night, and his blue eyes flickered with a cold light.

The attendant was so frightened that he almost went crazy. He looked at Bai Luo in horror and said dryly as he struggled, “Your Highness, why aren’t you asleep at this time?”

“I should be the one asking you that. Why did you go to the temple in the early morning alone instead of obediently serving my father in the palace?”

The attendant was about to lie when he heard Bai Luo’s sinister threat.

“If you lie to me, I’ll cut off your hands and feet and throw you to the animals.”

The attendant was so frightened that his face turned pale. He didn’t dare lie anymore.

Although the third prince always looked cheerful and seemed to be easy to get along with, when he was ruthless, his methods were definitely more ferocious than the most powerful executioner in Sun City!

After all, he had also grown up in the struggle for power in the royal family. He had been influenced by many things since he was young. No matter how amiable he looked, there was a crazy ruthlessness in his bones.

His innocence had long perished in the desire for power.

The last ones to survive were blood-stained hunters.

The attendant trembled and said, “The high priest called me over to ask about His Majesty’s condition.”

Bai Luo narrowed his eyes. “Why couldn’t you go during the day to ask if it’s about His Majesty’s condition? Must you go when no one is around?”

“I-I don’t know…”

“You don’t know?” Bai Luo smiled.

The attendant’s scalp tingled at his smile.
