When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 85: Dark Moon Temple

In the afternoon, Bu Ke, the leader of the wild horse tribe, suddenly appeared at the market. As soon as he saw Shuang Yun, he rushed over with a dozen wild horse beasts.

“Patriarch Shuang Yun!”

Shuang Yun looked at him in surprise. “Why are you here?”

Bu Ke grinned. “We’re here to patronize your family’s business!”

They had long finished the vegetables and fruits they bought last time. In the past few days, he and Meng Li had been reminiscing about those fresh and delicious vegetables and fruits. Just thinking about them made their mouths water.

In the end, Bu Ke couldn’t take it anymore. He brought a dozen beasts straight to the rock mountain to buy another batch of vegetables and fruits to eat.

Before leaving, Meng Li specially reminded him, “Remember to buy more. If possible, it’s best to get some seeds back!”

This time, Bu Ke used crystals in exchange for all the vegetables and fruits on the stall.

He was not satisfied with this. He craned his neck to look at the stone house behind Shuang Yun to see how many delicious vegetables and fruits were hidden inside.

Seeing his gluttony, Shuang Yun couldn’t help but laugh. “You didn’t come all the way here just to buy some vegetables and fruits, did you?”

It was a half-day journey from the Black River Wolf Tribe to the rock mountain. It was not particularly far, but it was definitely not very close.

Bu Ke must have had other intentions for bringing his men here.

Bu Ke was a straightforward person. He didn’t beat about the bush with Shuang Yun. “I have two pieces of news for you,” he said frankly.

“What are they?”

“The first thing is related to Ma Qing.” Bu Ke’s smile faded, and his expression became serious. “Not long after you issued the wanted order, a beast saw Ma Qing near a beast city. He secretly followed Ma Qing and saw him enter Beast City with his own eyes.”

Shuang Yun frowned slightly. “Why did he go to a beast city?”

Bu Ke shook his head. “I don’t know. Ma Qing has always been a mysterious figure. No one knows his background. His status in the Black River Wolf Tribe is special. Even the leader of the Black River Wolf Tribe is afraid of him. Only that stupid kid Ya Qiu treats Ma Qing like an ordinary witch doctor.”

Bai Di suddenly asked, “Do you know which beast city Ma Qing entered?”

There were a total of 10 beast cities on the entire Beast Continent. There were six lower cities, three middle cities, and one upper city. The upper city was also known as the main city.

These 10 beast cities were led by different royal families and were scattered throughout the Beast Continent.

As far as distance was concerned, they were worlds apart, but they were also inextricably linked.

To ordinary beasts, beast cities were a holy place that they could only dream of. It was like heaven in the eyes of mortals like them, filled with all kinds of illusory legends and dreams.

Even when Bu Ke mentioned the topic of beast cities, his eyes involuntarily revealed his yearning. “Ma Qing entered Dark Moon City.”

Bai Di and Sang Ye’s expressions changed slightly.

Lin Huanhuan noticed the changes in the two of them and couldn’t help but ask, “What kind of place is Dark Moon City?”

Sang Ye said, “It’s one of the three middle cities.”

Bai Di analyzed in a low voice, “Ma Qing wouldn’t be able to enter unless he’s no weaker than a three-starred soul beast or he has special permission from the Dark Moon Royal Family or the Dark Moon Temple.”

Either way, it meant that Ma Qing was far more difficult to deal with than they thought.

Shuang Yun said, “Ma Qing has hidden in Dark Moon City. We can’t do anything to him for the time being. We have to continue to get people to keep an eye on him outside the city. As soon as he appears, inform us immediately.”

Bu Ke nodded. “We have the same thought.”

Putting aside the matter of Ma Qing for the time being, Shuang Yun continued to ask, “What about the second piece of news?”

Bu Ke lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.

“Yesterday, a few beasts dressed strangely suddenly came to the Black River Wolf Tribe. They claimed to be divine envoys from the Dark Moon Temple. They came over to find a snake beast called Sang Ye.”

Huanhuan’s family: “…”

Bu Ke didn’t notice the strange expressions on their faces as he continued, “I don’t know any snake beasts, but I let Meng Li entertain them as best he could. They spent the night in the Black River Tribe and didn’t leave until dawn today.”

Bai Di cleared his throat. “Do you know why they’re looking for Sang Ye?”

“I don’t.” Bu Ke shook his head. “They’re very tight-lipped, and they’re quite arrogant. They don’t usually talk to us except to order us around.”

He said softly, “I’m telling you this because I want to remind you that if you see any suspicious snake beasts around here, you have to be careful and mind your own business!”

Lin Huanhuan, Bai Di, and Shuang Yun nodded at the same time. They replied seriously, “We understand.”

Sang Ye: “…”

Bu Ke muttered, “It must be dangerous to be targeted by the temple. That snake beast might be a particularly ferocious and cunning prisoner. May the beast god bless us and not let us meet him.”

Sang Ye: “…”

Bai Di quickly changed the subject. “Do you want to buy more vegetables and fruits? We have some in stock. We can sell them all to you.”

At the mention of vegetables and fruits, Bu Ke immediately forgot about the snake beast. His eyes lit up as he nodded. “Yes, yes! Sell them all to me!”

Lin Huanhuan walked into the stone house and took out some vegetables and fruits from her interspatial ring.

They pretended to take them from the stone house and traded them all to Bu Ke for 50 colorless crystals.

Bu Ke remembered Meng Li’s instructions before he left and quickly asked shamelessly, “Do you have seeds for the vegetables and fruits? Can you sell us some?”

Shuang Yun did not answer directly but looked at Huanhuan. “Can you sell them?”

Lin Huanhuan thought for a moment. “We didn’t keep too many seeds this time. We have to keep them for our own use. We’ll sell them to you when there are more of them.”

Bu Ke was very gentle with the female. “Sure, sure. Whatever you say.”

Lin Huanhuan smiled.

Half of Bu Ke’s body went limp with laughter.

“Hehehe…”

Like an idiot, he giggled foolishly as he transformed into a wild horse with his people and carried the bags back.

Not long after they left, Lin Huanhuan’s family immediately packed up and rushed home.

As soon as she entered the house, Lin Huanhuan immediately closed the door.

Shuang Yun did not like to beat about the bush and went straight to the point. “Sang Ye, how did you provoke the Dark Moon Temple?”

Each of the 10 beast cities was equipped with a temple. There were a total of 10 temples.

The Dark Moon Temple was second only to the main city’s temple among the ten temples. They were very powerful. The fact that they could send oracles to travel thousands of miles to pursue Sang Ye meant that the conflict between the two sides must be very deep.
