When Beauty Meets Beasts Chapter 191 - Side Effects

Chapter 191: Side Effects

No matter how many jokes Huanhuan made, Sang Ye remained indifferent.

In the end, Huanhuan could only give up.

Perhaps the disappointment on her face was too obvious. Sang Ye couldn’t bear it and took the initiative to admit his mistake. “I’m sorry. I made you tell me jokes for nothing.”

Huanhuan sighed helplessly and comforted him. “Forget it. It’s no big deal if you don’t like to smile. Some girls like your poker face!”

Sang Ye hugged her tightly, his dark eyes hidden in the darkness.

Another day pa.s.sed, and Huanhuan received a letter from Bai Di through the ring s.p.a.ce.

They had already found the territory of the demons and would be able to rescue her and Sang Ye soon.

Huanhuan was happy.

She said to Sang Ye, “Bai Di and the others will be here soon. We can leave this place soon!”

Sang Ye helped her tuck back a strand of hair and said, “I’ll send you to the exit later. As soon as Bai Di and the others appear, follow them.”

Huanhuan was slightly stunned. “What about you? Aren’t you coming with us?”

“I’m going to help you distract the patrolling demon guards. I can’t go with you.”

Huanhuan immediately grabbed his hand. “No, we’ll leave together! If you don’t leave, I won’t leave either!”

Sang Ye looked at her helplessly. “This isn’t the time to be wilful. It’s dangerous here. You have to leave as soon as possible.”

“I came here to bring you home. If I can’t bring you home, won’t everything I did before be in vain?!”

Huanhuan sat on the ground and a.s.sumed a shameless posture.

Sang Ye said, “I can’t go back with you.”

“Why?”

“The mate contract between us has been erased by Forgetting Water.”

Huanhuan: “…”

She almost forgot that Sang Ye had only regained his memories, but the mate contract between them had not been repaired.

Huanhuan said stubbornly, “Can’t we mate again?!”

Sang Ye looked at her deeply. “No.”

“Why not?”

“You should know that Forgetting Water doesn’t only erase the mate contract. It also has certain side effects.”

“…”

“Forgetting Water has made me lose most of my perception. I don’t know how to smile or cry now. I can’t make the distinction between sweet, sour, or bitter foods. I don’t feel hot or sore. This is why I’m not afraid of heat and can’t smile anymore.”

Huanhuan looked at him in a daze, unable to speak.

“You told me interesting stories, but I couldn’t smile. I’m already defective and don’t deserve to be your mate.”

“You’re not defective!” Huanhuan was furious. “I forbid you to say that about yourself!”

Sang Ye looked at her calmly and said nothing.

Huanhuan hugged him. “It’s not your fault. My jokes are too lame. I’ll never tell you such lame jokes again. Come back with me. I’ll try to develop a medicine to resolve your side effects!”

“There won’t be that kind of medicine…”

“Who said there won’t be? I could even awaken your memories. Your side effects won’t stump me!”

Looking at her confident appearance, Sang Ye still looked cold. He did not seem to have softened at all.

Huanhuan hugged his waist and said shamelessly, “No matter what reason you have, you have to go back with me. If you don’t leave, I’ll stay here with you. At most, I’ll be discovered by your uncle and killed!”

“Nonsense. I won’t let anyone kill you.”

“Then come back with me!”

Under Huanhuan’s coaxing and pestering, Sang Ye lost his temper.

He couldn’t bear to scare her, nor could he bear to see her sad and tearful. Hence, he had to compromise again. “Alright.”

As soon as she heard him agree, Huanhuan jumped up in excitement and threw herself into his arms. “That’s great!”

Huanhuan then ate the lotus seed and turned into a daffodil.

Sang Ye hid the daffodil in his clothes and walked out of the lighthouse.

Fei Jue quickly followed. “Lord Sang Ye, where are you going?”

“I’m just going to walk around.”

Sang Ye walked toward the forest, and Fei Jue immediately stopped him. “It’s very dangerous in the forest. It’s best if you don’t enter.”

“It’s because the forest is dangerous that I want to go in.” A strange red light flashed in Sang Ye’s eyes. “After practicing for so many days, I have to find a place to try the results of my practice these days.”

Fei Jue was still very hesitant. “But Lord Han Ying told me not to let you go too far.”

“The forest is only so big. How far can I go? If you don’t trust me, you can come into the forest with me.”

With that, Sang Ye walked around Fei Jue and strode toward the forest.

Fei Jue quickly followed. “Slow down. The forest is really dangerous. You have to be careful!”

Perhaps it was because it was daytime, but after Sang Ye entered the forest, he realized that these trees were not as aggressive as the last time.

As long as he didn’t approach the trees, they wouldn’t attack him.

However, there were too many trees in the forest. Even though Sang Ye had carefully avoided most of the trees, he still inevitably approached a few of them.

Since there was no way to avoid it, Sang Ye directly revealed his snake tail. Before the man-eating flowers could bloom, he whipped them to pieces.

He cut his way through the obstacles and killed his way out.

Seeing that Sang Ye was getting farther and farther away and was about to leave the forest, Fei Jue hurriedly shouted, “We can’t go any further. We should go back!”

Sang Ye ignored his words and sped up.

Fei Jue finally sensed that something was wrong. He immediately chased after Sang Ye and blocked his way. “If you go any farther, I’ll call someone over!”

Sang Ye looked at him coldly. “It’s up to you.”

Fei Jue was about to open his mouth when Sang Ye whipped him with his tail!

Fei Jue rolled on the ground and revealed his beast form. It was a gray ferret.

He knew that he was no match for Sang Ye. He turned around and ran back while making a sharp sound.

When the patrolling soldiers by the lake heard this voice, they immediately ran toward the forest. The huge jellyfish that was quietly floating on the lake also moved. Countless slender tentacles pounced in Sang Ye’s direction!

Sang Ye sped up and rushed out of the forest.

The daffodil emerged from his collar and pointed at the underground cave in front of her. “That’s where I came in. That must be the exit!”

Sang Ye swung his snake tail and quickly slithered toward the underground cave.

When they were almost there, the jellyfish’s tentacles caught up to them!

Sang Ye swung his snake tail to shake off the tentacles that were wrapped around him. However, those tentacles were extremely flexible. Even if they were attacked, they would not be injured at all. Instead, they wrapped even more tightly around Sang Ye’s snake tail.

The big jellyfish dragged him back.

No matter how Sang Ye struggled, he could not break free from the tentacles. The patrolling soldiers quickly caught up.

Sang Ye knew that he could not outrun them. He grabbed the daffodil and threw her into the rock cave with all his might.

“Go! Don’t look back!”
