When Beauty Meets Beasts-Chapter 833 Where There’s Life, There’s Firewood!

The second elder had not drunk a single sip of water since last night. He was extremely hungry and thirsty.

The moment Huanhuan took out the meat bun, the second elder's gaze was fixed on the meat bun in her hand. He was drooling.

Huanhuan immediately hid the meat bun in her arms. "What are you looking at? This is my family's breakfast. It has nothing to do with you!"

She firmly refused all those who tried to freeload!

The second elder tried to look away from the meat bun and said weakly, "I went to see the first elder yesterday. In order to make me obedient, he made me take another pill."

"What pill?"

"What other pill can it be? It's the one that contains the egg of a puppet worm!"

Huanhuan was very surprised. "Puppet worms are so rare. In order to control you, he actually took out another puppet worm. He's really generous!"

The second elder looked at her plaintively.

Was he, the dignified second elder, not even worth a worm?!

"Ahem." Huanhuan returned to the topic. "Does that mean you have two puppet worms in your stomach now?"

"Yes, since last night, I've felt cold and hot. My stomach cramps from time to time. This feels worse than death. You have to save me!"

Huanhuan asked as she ate the bun, "Why should I save you?"

The second elder said, "I'm one of yours. You can't just watch me die!"

Huanhuan quickly distanced herself from him. "When did you become mine? Don't talk nonsense, okay? I'm innocent!"

She turned to look at Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling, repeatedly indicating that she would never like the second elder.

Xue Ling smiled faintly. "I don't think you'll like his old wrinkles either."

The second elder gritted his teeth and tried his best to remain calm.

As long as there was life, there was hope!

Life was the most important thing now!

'Don't lower yourself to her level!'

He kowtowed hard. "As long as you can save me, I'll do anything!"

"Back then, I told you that the first elder would definitely not let you off easy, but you didn't believe me and insisted on looking for him. Now that you're half-dead from torture, you're asking me for help. Do you think I'll help you so easily?"

"T-Then what do you want?"

Huanhuan finished the bun in her hand and wiped her fingers clean. "I just want you to tell the truth."

"Everything I just said is the truth!"

"I don't believe it."

"What can I do to make you trust me?"

Huanhuan smiled. "I want to hear from the puppet worm in your stomach. I trust it more than I trust you."

The second elder suddenly felt his body lose control again. His tongue moved involuntarily, making a stiff and rigid sound.

"The first elder wanted to kill me. In order to save my life, I suggested a plan to the first elder. I would pretend to submit to you and steal the divine artifact the prophet gave you when you weren't paying attention. The first elder felt that this plan was not bad and let me live. At the same time, he made me take a pill containing the egg of a puppet worm so that I wouldn't betray him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second elder felt an intense pain in his abdomen!

That was the puppet worm that the first elder fed him because what he had just said had revealed the first elder's secret. It was equivalent to betrayal.

Blood began to flow from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. His expression was ferocious as his body spasmed.

Xue Ling clicked his tongue. "You wanted to pretend to defect and steal the divine artifact when Huanhuan wasn't paying attention. That's a good plan. Unfortunately, you shouldn't have treated us as targets."

The second elder reached out with difficulty and called out in pain, "Lady Huanhuan, please save me..."

Huanhuan could sense that two puppet worms were fighting each other in the second elder's body.

The puppet worm that acknowledged her as its master had been in the second elder's body for a long time. It was also stronger and could control the second elder's body better. Looking at the current situation, her worm had the upper hand.

In a few more rounds, her worm should be able to win.

However, with the second elder's current physical condition, he would probably die before the two worms could determine the winner.

Huanhuan took out a small wooden box and took out a pill.

"Open your mouth."

When the second elder saw the familiar Madness Pill, not only was he not afraid to resist, but he quickly opened his mouth and caught the pill.

The pill melted in his mouth.

The pain in his abdomen continued, and the second elder rolled on the ground in pain.

Huanhuan estimated that it would be a while before the pain disappeared. She turned around and sat back at the table. She called the others to sit down with her. "Let's have breakfast first."

If they didn't eat breakfast now, they would have to have a late lunch.

The second elder covered his abdomen and curled up into a ball. "Ahhh!"

Bai Di scooped a bowl of porridge for Huanhuan. "Eat slowly. It's hot."

The second elder banged his head in pain. Bang, bang, bang!

Huanhuan extended the bowl. "Shuang Yun, give me some of the pickled vegetables in front of you."

The second elder lay on the ground and vomited blood.

Huanhuan finally couldn't take it anymore. "Get someone to bring him to the next room. The smell of blood is too unpleasant."

Sang Ye stood up, grabbed the second elder's collar, and dragged him to the next room in a rather rough manner. When he came out, he did not forget to close the door, blocking the second elder's cries.

Finally!

The family finished breakfast happily.

Sang Ye brought over a bucket of water and cleaned up the blood on the floor.

Bai Di was washing the dishes in the kitchen. Huanhuan walked into the next room accompanied by Shuang Yun and Xue Ling. She saw the second elder lying motionless on the ground.

He was disheveled now. There was a large wound on his forehead. He was bleeding profusely, and there were several bloody wounds on his body. He had scratched himself because he couldn't take the pain anymore.

Shuang Yun walked over and checked his breathing.

"He's still breathing. He's not dead."

Huanhuan walked over, squatted down, and patted the second elder's face. "Wake up."

A moment later, the second elder slowly woke up.

He first looked at Huanhuan, then at Shuang Yun and Xue Ling behind her. With a wooden expression, he asked, "Am I dead or not?"

"Congratulations, you're not dead."

Hearing this, the second elder immediately struggled to sit up and pinched his thigh.

It hurt very much. It was indeed not a dream.

He was still alive!

After going through the torture just now, he didn't want to die.

He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Huanhuan.

"Thank you for saving my life!"

Huanhuan stood up. "The two worms in your body have already acknowledged me as their master. They won't hurt you without my orders."

The second elder was a smart person and immediately understood.

"What do you want me to do?"

Huanhuan said slowly, "Didn't you conspire with the first elder to steal from me?"

The second elder quickly said, "I won't do it again. I won't!"

"Don't be afraid. It's just a divine artifact. I'll give it to you later."
