When Beauty Meets Beasts - Chapter 782

782 Nightmare (Part 2)

The torch in Huanhuan’s hand suddenly went out.

Darkness surrounded her silently. Even Bai Di, who was so close, was swallowed by darkness.

It was truly pitch-black.

Huanhuan was so nervous that her scalp went numb. She carefully called Bai Di’s name.

All was quiet.

No one responded to her.

Huanhuan became even more nervous. She quickly touched the white tiger under her, but it was cold to the touch.

Frightened, she stood up and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Bai Di! Big Goody!”

There was still no response. The surroundings were as quiet as a tomb as if she was the only one left in the world.

A strong sense of unease welled up in her.

Huanhuan touched her sleeve again. Clement, who should have been hidden in her sleeve, was gone too.

What the hell was going on? Where were the others?

Huanhuan was anxious. She wanted to look for the others, but she was afraid that if she went far, the others wouldn’t be able to find her.

She sat on her haunches, wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and kept looking around.

It was dark all around. She couldn’t see anything clearly.

The unknown was often the most terrifying.

No one knew what was hidden in the darkness. If a monster rushed out of the darkness…

The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became.

Just as Huanhuan was about to go crazy from fear, an extremely terrifying monster suddenly rushed out of the darkness. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced at her!

Huanhuan’s mind went blank.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that she was running for her life.

Behind her, a monster roared.

The fishy smell mixed with the smell of decay drifted over with the wind.

Even without looking back, Huanhuan knew that the monster was chasing after her.

Although the timing was wrong, Huanhuan still wanted to shout at the monster behind her, “My meat doesn’t taste good!”

She only had two legs, while the monster had four. She was at a disadvantage in terms of length and number. It didn’t take long for the monster to catch up. She could even feel its tongue skimming over her back.

How disgusting!

Huanhuan used all her strength to shout in despair, “Bai Di, save me! Big Goody, save me! Help me, Daddy System!”

As soon as she shouted, she bumped into someone.

Huanhuan staggered and fell to the ground.

Oh no, the monster behind her must have caught up!

She was going to be eaten!

Huanhuan hugged her head in fear and closed her eyes to avoid seeing herself being eaten.

However, after waiting for a long time, she did not feel the sharp pain she had expected.

A hand landed on her head.

“Why are you sitting here?”

It was the prophet’s voice.

No, this tone should be Little Brat!

Huanhuan looked up and realized that the ferocious and terrifying monster had disappeared.

In its place was a handsome man in a white shark silk robe. His fair and handsome face made him look like a god that had descended to the mortal world, shining in the darkness.

After escaping death, Huanhuan was so excited.

She jumped up and threw herself into his arms, crying and shouting, “Little Brat, I was almost eaten!”

Little Brat hugged her and patted her back gently. “Don’t be afraid. With Daddy around, no one will dare to eat you.”

“Daddy, you’re so good to me.” After she sighed sincerely, she wiped her tears on his clothes.

Little Brat looked down at his wet clothes and shouted angrily, “Shark silk is very expensive.”

“No matter how expensive it is, it doesn’t matter.”

Little Brat let go and threw his bastard daughter to the ground. “You might as well be eaten by the monster!”

Recalling how terrifying the monster was, Huanhuan immediately leaned over and climbed onto him again. She hung tightly on his chest like a koala.

In this terrifying place where danger lurked everywhere, it was safer to follow Daddy System.

Little Brat was very cold. “Let go of your hands.”

Huanhuan was very stubborn. “No!”

“I can’t walk like this.”

“Then don’t leave!”

Little Brat had no choice but to compromise. He resigned himself to fate and walked forward with the koalas on him.

Huanhuan quickly asked, “Where are you going?”

“I’ll go get the monster to eat you up.

“Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its cubs. You won’t even spare your own daughter. You’re inhumane!”

Little Brat had a headache from her crying, so he could only tell the truth. “I’ll take you to your husband, daughter, and sons.”

Upon hearing this, Huanhuan immediately stopped sobbing and quickly asked, “Where are they?”

“You’ll see when we get there.”

After taking a few steps, Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask, “Where is this? Why is it dark everywhere? And that monster suddenly ran out to eat me. I was scared to death!”

In the end, she hugged Little Brat tighter.

Little Brat said, “If you use any more strength, Daddy will be strangled to death by you.”

“Oh, oh.” Huanhuan relaxed a little.

“This is a dream created by Nightmare.”

“Huh?” Huanhuan looked confused.

“Nightmare is good at creating nightmares. You’re in the dream it created.”

Huanhuan was skeptical. “In other words, everything I saw just now was fake? Even if I was eaten by that monster, I’d still be fine?”

“That monster just now was fake, but if you were really eaten by it, it’d be equivalent to your soul being eaten by Nightmare. Once you lose your soul, you’ll definitely die.”

Huanhuan was shocked. “What? Nightmare eats souls?”

“Nightmare likes to eat souls the most, especially souls filled with negative energy. Whether it’s fear, pain, despair, anger, resentment… These are all things it likes. Everything you encounter in your dreams is to make you produce these negative emotions. The more afraid you are, the more delicious your soul will become. When all the negative emotions reach their peak, Nightmare will devour your soul.”

Huanhuan buried her face in his chest. “Please stop. It’s terrifying!”

Little Brat pinched her cheek. “Don’t take advantage of me. How can you rub against my chest so casually?”

“What’s wrong with rubbing against it? It won’t get bigger anyway.”

“…”

Not long after they left, they saw a familiar figure.

Bai Di was on one knee. He seemed to be carrying someone in his arms. He focused on the person in his arms. His voice was gentle, but his eyes were filled with despair. “Huanhuan, wake up…”

Seeing this, Huanhuan’s heart ached.

There was nothing Bai Di feared more than losing her.

Now that he had seen Huanhuan die with his own eyes, he would definitely fall into despair.

This nightmare was too terrifying. It accurately grasped the weakness in people’s hearts and revealed their worst fears.

Huanhuan let go and landed on the ground. She ran toward Bai Di.

This was all fake. She was the real Huanhuan!
