Chapter 496 - One Mistake After Another
Chapter 496: One Mistake After Another
Xuan Wei was thinking about how to bring Chen Yue back to life.
He had to find out the truth about Huanhuan’s resurrection.
Facing Xuan Wei’s paranoid questioning, Huanhuan found herself unable to answer.
She was able to live because of the help of the prophet and Little Brat’s sacrifice.
Huanhuan didn’t want to tell anyone about this. She didn’t want anyone to know that the prophet had the ability to bring people back to life.
It was just like when she had the Divine Wood seed.
These were all secrets that could not be revealed.
Otherwise, it was easy for her to get killed.
Seeing Huanhuan keep her mouth shut, Xuan Wei seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, “How did you find me in Dark Moon City?”
Xue Ling replied angrily, “It’s none of your business.”
Xuan Wei did not think much of his hostility. “Someone told you that I was in Dark Moon City, right?”
Xue Ling said nothing, and neither did the others.
Xuan Wei read the answer from their silence.
“Looks like I was right.”
As a brother, Bai Di could tell that Xuan Wei had something to say, so he went straight to the point. “What are you trying to say?”
“Someone told you my whereabouts and sent you to kill me. You’ve become pawns in someone else’s hands, but you don’t know your place.”
Bai Di frowned. “What do you mean?!”
“I’m saying you shouldn’t be here. You shouldn’t have come to me.”
“We have to get the Divine Wood seed back from you.”
However, Xuan Wei said, “Is this seed that important to you? In any case, Lin Huanhuan has already come back to life. Even without the seed, you can still live together.”
At this moment, Huanhuan continued, “I need to return to my body.”
Xuan Wei said calmly, “Why do you have to return to your original body? Isn’t your current appearance good? You’re powerful and more suitable to survive on the beast continent. Even if your appearance is a little worse than before, Bai Di and the others aren’t male beasts who judge people by their appearance. They won’t care what you look like.”
“But this body isn’t mine. I can’t use it to get close to Bai Di and the others. I’ll feel awkward, and so will they.”
“After a while, you’ll get used to it. You won’t feel awkward anymore.”
Huanhuan found it strange. “You don’t seem to want me to return to my original body.”
Xuan Wei sighed. “I just want you to live longer so that Bai Di can be happier.”
“What do you mean?”
This was the second time someone had asked this question.
Xuan Wei said, “I was thinking about how you were revived just now. After thinking about it, it seems that only that person has the ability to revive a dead beast.”
Huanhuan asked calmly, “Who are you talking about?”
“You know who I’m talking about.”
Huanhuan played dumb. “I don’t.”
“The beast who asked you to come to Dark Moon City to look for me and the beast who revived you should be the same one.”
Huanhuan’s heart skipped a beat.
Xuan Wei continued, “Since he asked you to look for me, he definitely doesn’t plan to let me live anymore. Perhaps I’ll be killed in the next moment. Instead of that, why don’t I tell you everything I know?”
As they spoke, Chen Yuan remained silent. He realized that the fog was gradually gathering again, and the view here was getting worse.
He reminded them, “Let’s get out of here first.”
Bai Di agreed. “Okay.”
He looked at Xue Ling. “Please take us out.”
Xue Ling had a bad feeling. “What’s your plan?”
“Turn into a condor and fly us out of the forest.”
Xue Ling refused. “How can I fly out the five of you alone?!”
Bai Di said, “I’m sure you can.”
“Do you think I can do it just because you believe I can?”
Huanhuan smiled at him. “You’re so powerful. You can definitely do it.”
“…Alright.” Xue Ling compromised.
Huanhuan saw Bai Di’s smug smile. He gave her a thumbs-up and praised her for doing well.
Xue Ling was stubborn but soft-hearted. He would definitely give in to her.
Xue Ling transformed into a condor, and Huanhuan climbed onto his back. Chen Yuan hugged his sister and grabbed one of Xue Ling’s claws. Bai Di grabbed Xuan Wei’s other claw.
The fiery red condor flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Xue Ling had never carried such a heavy weight while flying.
His face was tense, and he wanted to throw all four of them off his claws.
Huanhuan stroked his feathers and spared no effort in praising him. “You’re amazing! You can actually fly with five beasts!”
Xue Ling was very proud. His long feather tail was almost raised to the sky.
Due to the fact that he was carrying five beasts, the condor’s flying speed was much slower.
Xuan Wei looked down at the fog forest below and vaguely saw gray shadows flashing in the fog.
He looked away and said calmly, “Bai Di, if I die, remember to burn my corpse to ashes and sprinkle the ashes into the river. That way, I might be able to become a fish in my next life.”
This way, he could live freely in the water with Chen Yue.
Bai Di was confused. “Why are you suddenly saying this?”
Xuan Wei said, “Brother, I’ve always owed you an apology.”
“…”
“I might die soon. Before I leave, I have to remind you that the prophet is using you. Don’t believe him, especially Lin Huanhuan. She’s the sacrifice he found. When the Divine Wood seed completely fuses with her, she’ll be sacrificed to him. You…”
Before Xuan Wei could finish, a large group of gray shadows rushed out of the fog!
They were all small flying snakes. There was a dense group of them, and they were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had already flown close and devoured Xuan Wei whole!
Bai Di was gripping the condor’s claw with one hand and holding Xuan Wei with the other. He couldn’t deal with these small flying snakes.
In the end, Xue Ling flapped his wings and threw out two huge flames.
Flames pounced on the little flying snakes. They squeaked from the heat.
Many small flying snakes fell, gradually revealing Xuan Wei’s broken body.
He was mangled by the little flying snakes. There was not a single intact piece of flesh on his body.
Bai Di’s expression changed, and he almost let go.
Seeing that his expression was off, Xue Ling immediately reminded him, “Hold on to me, and don’t let go!”
Bai Di came back to his senses and tightened his grip on the condor’s claw again.
The condor tried to speed up with all his might and finally flew out of Misty Forest.
After landing, Bai Di immediately killed and crushed the remaining small flying snakes on Xuan Wei’s body.
Xuan Wei was already barely breathing. He lay on the ground, blood flowing from the wounds on his body.
Anyone could tell that he was about to die.
Bai Di called him ‘Big Brother’.
The corners of Xuan Wei’s mouth twitched. “I can die without regrets after hearing you call me ‘Big Brother’ again.”
Bai Di’s eyes stung.
“I made the wrong move back then, and every step I took after that was also wrong. Don’t learn from me in the future. You have to live well…”
His voice gradually weakened, and Xuan Wei closed his eyes weakly.
He was completely dead now.
