Chapter 501 - 501 Bullying The Weak And Fearing The Strong
501 Bullying The Weak And Fearing The Strong
On the way down the mountain, Huanhuan happened to meet First Elder.
The two met by chance.
Huanhuan and Bai Di were going down the mountain, while the first and second elders were going up the mountain.
However, the stairs were only so wide. One side had to give in.
First Elder thought that he was in a high position. On this divine mountain, other than the prophet, he had the highest status. Only others could make way for him. How could he make way for others?!
He raised his chin and looked coldly at the three people opposite him, waiting for them to give in.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine for Huanhuan to take the initiative to give way. However, she was not so tolerant when facing First Elder.
She still remembered how he had framed her for murder and locked her in jail!
Huanhuan stood on the stairs and looked down at the first elder on the stairs below. She said bluntly, “Please make way, Elders.”
First Elder frowned and looked unhappy.
Seeing this, the second elder immediately said, “Who do you think you are? How dare you ask us to make way for you?!”
Huanhuan smiled. “It’s fine if you don’t want to give way. In any case, the road is only so wide. Whoever is stronger will pass first.”
“What do you mean?”
Huanhuan didn’t answer his question and walked down. When she reached the first elder, she didn’t stop and bumped directly into him.
First Elder instinctively raised his hand to push her away.
But he couldn’t move her.
Huanhuan strode down without looking sideways. Her shoulders swayed slightly, knocking First Elder to the side.
Fortunately, the second elder was quick enough to support the first elder in time, preventing him from tumbling down the stairs.
The second elder asked, “First Elder, are you alright?”
First Elder was so angry that his fingers were trembling.
He raised his hand and grabbed Huanhuan’s shoulder, wanting to teach this arrogant young beast a lesson.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his fingers touched Huanhuan’s shoulder, Huanhuan grabbed his wrist.
She wrenched it.
With a crack, First Elder’s fingers were broken.
First Elder’s face turned pale with pain.
The second elder shouted, “How dare you attack the first elder?!”
Huanhuan sneered. “First Elder was the one who attacked first. I was just defending myself.”
“You!”
Huanhuan approached the two of them. “In terms of identity, we’re guests invited by the prophet. In terms of strength, I’m far above you, so I’m not afraid of you. If you want to fight, I’ll accompany you to the end.”
The second elder wanted to say something else, but the first elder stopped him.
“Forget it. Don’t argue with such trash.”
Since the first elder had said so, even if the second elder was indignant, he could only shut his mouth resentfully.
Bai Di and Xue Ling paused as they passed the two elders.
Especially Xue Ling, a mocking smile appeared on his face. “Those old fellows of your Elders’ Association only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong.”
The first elder was very afraid of Xue Ling’s identity. Facing Xue Ling’s mockery, the first elder was no longer as angry as before. He watched Xue Ling walk past him expressionlessly.
It wasn’t until Huanhuan and the others were far away that First Elder’s gaze turned dark.
These guys actually bullied him!
‘Just you wait. Sooner or later, I’ll have you guys die tragic deaths!’
…
The inner city was huge, but there were very few beasts, causing the entire inner city to look deserted.
Huanhuan strolled around for a while and felt that it was boring, so she went to the outer city.
She stood in front of a vendor who specialized in selling animal hides. She picked up a piece of snow-white rabbit skin and held it over Little Brat. She kept nodding. “Yes, not bad. It suits you very well.”
Little Brat was furious. “Such feminine skin doesn’t match Daddy’s tall, handsome, and fierce image at all!”
Huanhuan pinched his slender arm and suppressed a smile. “You’re really cute like this.”
Little Brat could hear her taunting him very clearly.
He shook off Huanhuan’s hand and turned around to face her with his butt as an expression of his anger.
Although Little Brat objected strongly, Huanhuan still bought the rabbit skin with a colorless crystal coin.
Huanhuan folded the rabbit skin and put it away. She sighed. “The prices in the City of 10,000 Beasts are really high. Just a piece of rabbit skin costs one crystal coin.”
If it were an ordinary tribe outside, a colorless crystal coin would be enough for a family of beasts to live for more than a year.
Bai Di smiled helplessly. “That’s not ordinary rabbit skin. It’s the fur of a snow wool rabbit. There are few snow wool rabbits, and they’re extremely difficult to catch. You got this complete rabbit skin for a colorless crystal coin. It’s not cheap, but it’s not especially expensive.”
Huanhuan snorted. “No matter how rare a rabbit is, it’s still a rabbit.”
It was not that she was petty, but she was too poor.
She only had 10 colorless crystal coins on her.
This was the remuneration Xi Fei had given her the last time she helped escort the caravan.
She had just spent a tenth of it to buy rabbit skin.
Before long, she spent the remaining nine colorless crystal coins on her.
The City of 10,000 Beasts sold a lot of things, but the prices were really expensive. Huanhuan really could not control the urge to shop in her body. She accidentally spent all her money.
She was now a veritable pauper.
Bai Di and Xue Ling said they still had money.
Huanhuan shook her head. “Forget it. I’m not shopping anymore.”
The impulsive spending just now had made her buy a lot of useless things. Her heart ached.
She had to go back and calm down.
On the way back, the three of them saw many beasts surrounding something.
Huanhuan was very curious, so she leaned over to take a look and realized that there were three beast corpses in the middle of the crowd.
In this era, the dead were not respected. The corpses were placed on the ground, and there was not even a piece of animal hide on their bodies. Their eyes were wide open, and their faces were twisted in pain. Their bodies were convulsing.
They died after their necks were bitten off and their flesh was sucked dry.
The beast soldiers squatted at the side and checked. They concluded that this was a murder case and carried the three corpses away.
The onlookers were still discussing.
“I heard that it was a family of three. They were killed last night and were only found dead at home this morning. One of them was a female who had just reached adulthood. She was killed just like that. How pitiful!”
“I wonder who did it. They didn’t even let females off. They’re crazy!”
“The city hasn’t been peaceful recently. Everyone, you have to close the doors and windows at night, especially if you have females at home. You have to be careful!”
…
The beasts dispersed in groups.
Huanhuan and the other two left.
As Huanhuan walked, she recalled the deaths of the three beasts. She couldn’t help but say, “Why do I feel like those three beasts were killed by the demons?”
Their necks were bitten off and their flesh was sucked dry… This was the demons’ favorite way to eat after slaughtering their prey.
