When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 491 - Using Each Other



Chapter 491: Using Each Other

Chen Yuan wanted to look for Xuan Wei not only to get Chen Yue’s corpse back but also to seek justice for Chen Yue!

After so many years, it was time to end Chen Yue’s infatuation!

Huanhuan saw determination in Chen Yuan’s eyes.

But before she could speak, Xue Ling rejected Chen Yuan’s request.

“No! You can’t come with us!”

This merman just had intimate contact with Huanhuan. He was now officially on Xue Ling’s list of potential love rivals. Before excluding the possibility of him and Huanhuan becoming mates, Xue Ling would not give him a chance to get close to Huanhuan.

Although Bai Di wasn’t as obvious as Xue Ling, his thoughts were similar to his.

Huanhuan was just one person, and she already had four mates. If others were to join them, their benefits would be even lower.

Bai Di said, “We just fought, but now you want to come with us. You changed your attitude too quickly. We can’t trust you.”

However, Chen Yuan ignored Bai Di and Xue Ling. His demonic purple eyes stared intently at Huanhuan. He just wanted to hear her answer.

Huanhuan threw up her hands, looking apologetic. “I’ll listen to the two of them.”

Xue Ling smiled, clearly satisfied with Huanhuan’s answer.

Huanhuan was indeed on their side!

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan continued, “If I say I can help you find Xuan Wei, will you let me tag along?”

Upon hearing this, Huanhuan’s eyes lit up. “You can find Xuan Wei? Is that true?”

“Yeah.”

Xue Ling frowned and stared at Chen Yuan’s face. His tone was filled with warning. “Don’t even think about lying to us. If you can’t find Xuan Wei, I’ll turn into a savage and deal with you.”

Chen Yuan said, “I never lie.”

Xue Ling sneered. “Yes, you don’t lie. You only know how to hide information.”

Chen Yuan: “…”

Bai Di asked calmly, “If you can find Xuan Wei, you can just find him yourself. Why do you have to come with us?”

“Xuan Wei is too strong. I might not be his match.”

Bai Di said what he was thinking. “You want us to deal with Xuan Wei while you take advantage of the situation?”

Chen Yuan did not argue and admitted frankly, “Yes, I do want to borrow your strength. You can also use me to find Xuan Wei. We can take advantage of each other.”

No one would lose out if they took advantage of each other.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but laugh. “I suddenly admire you.”

The leader of the merfolk was quite interesting to be able to righteously make use of them.

Hearing Huanhuan’s praise, Xue Ling’s gaze at Chen Yuan became even more unfriendly.

Damn it, the chances of this guy becoming a love rival had increased again!

Bai Di pressed Xue Ling’s shoulder and advised him in a low voice, “Forget it. Since he can help find Xuan Wei, then we should just bear with it.”

Xue Ling touched his sleeve, and he spoke with gritted teeth. “I’m not as magnanimous as you. You’re still so calm when you see Huanhuan flirting with others. I really want that merman to be skinned, eviscerated, and cooked into fish hotpot!”

Bai Di lowered his voice again. “Don’t forget Huanhuan’s current gender. She’s a male beast in Chen Yuan’s eyes now. He won’t have improper thoughts about her.”

No male beast with a normal sexual orientation could fall in love with a male beast as tall and strong as Huanhuan.

Xue Ling retorted, “What if his sexual orientation is abnormal?”

“That’s even better. When Huanhuan recovers her female identity in the future, it’ll be completely impossible for Chen Yuan to be with her.”

Xue Ling was enlightened. “That’s right!”

Bai Di patted his shoulder. “So remember to maintain the image of Huanhuan as a male beast for the rest of the trip. Don’t let Chen Yuan discover her true gender.”

“No problem!” Xue Ling smiled. “As expected of the most scheming one out of the four of us. You’re so thorough!”

“…I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Huanhuan had already accepted Chen Yuan’s request to join the team. She turned around and saw Bai Di and Xue Ling whispering together. She immediately leaned over and asked curiously, “What are you whispering about?”

Bai Di retracted his hand from Xue Ling’s shoulder and smiled. “We’re discussing our next move.”

“So how did your discussion go?”

Bai Di said, “I’m going to look around. Xuan Wei’s leg is injured, so he shouldn’t be far. But since Chen Yuan has a way to find Xuan Wei, let’s hear his opinion first.”

Huanhuan nodded in agreement. She immediately turned to look at Chen Yuan and asked for his opinion.

Xue Ling secretly gave Bai Di a thumbs up. He had acted well.

Bai Di kept a gentle smile on his face, looking modest and harmless.

Chen Yuan took out a black pendant polished from animal bones. “This is a pendant made from fishbones. Fish are born in pairs. They’re naturally magnetic. Even if they’re separated, they can find each other’s location. Chen Yue is wearing such a pendant. I can use it to find his current location.”

Xuan Wei should be with Chen Yue now. As long as he could find Chen Yue, he should be able to find Xuan Wei.

Bai Di nodded. “That’s a good idea.”

Huanhuan impatiently urged Chen Yuan to quickly find Chen Yue.

He held the pendant in his palm and waited for a moment before the fishbone pendant spun automatically.

It worked like a compass that Huanhuan had seen in her previous life.

The fishbone pendant finally stopped after spinning a few times.

Everyone looked in the direction of the fishbone pendant.

Huanhuan asked, “Is it that way?”

Chen Yuan nodded.

“Then there’s no time to lose. Let’s set off!”

Huanhuan called the other three to hurry up.

Before Chen Yuan left, he specially called the witch doctor, Jia Wu, out of the lake.

“I’m leaving Rainbow Lake for a while. I’ll leave the merfolk to you for the time being.”

Jia Wu was an old merman. He looked sage-like. His long silver-white hair was draped behind his back. He was thin but looked very energetic. He agreed. “Alright, leave this to me. Be careful. After you find Chen Yue, bring her back quickly.”

“Yes, I will.”

Jia Wu watched Chen Yuan leave. Only when he was gone did he retract his gaze and return to the bottom of the lake with the merfolk.

With the fishbone pendant that served as a compass, Huanhuan and the others’ goals became very clear.

The only bad thing was that Chen Yuan was a little slow.

Although he could turn a fishtail into legs, they were clearly much slower than Bai Di’s four legs.

As for Huanhuan and Xue Ling, they had wings and flew especially fast.

In order to speed up, Huanhuan took the initiative to say to Chen Yuan, “Let me carry you.”
