When Beauty Meets Beasts - Chapter 801

801 Altar

When Yin Ji woke up, he was still very weak.

Everyone built a small cabin by the lake and settled Yin Ji in it.

He lay on the bed and sighed softly. “I really didn’t expect to wake up again.”

Huanhuan helped him lift the blanket on his body and smiled. “Like I said, humans have the power to fight back too.”

She looked into Yin Ji’s eyes. His pale golden pupils were as beautiful as crystals.

“Don’t you have to cover your eyes with shark silk anymore?”

Yin Ji’s tone was relaxed. “My eyes no longer have the ability to see through everything. They’re no different from ordinary eyes now, so there’s no need to cover them up.”

Huanhuan was not disappointed at all. Instead, she smiled happily and said, “In that case, you can see things clearly in the future.”

“Mhm.”

At this moment, Yin Ji’s face was still pale, but there was a sense of vitality on his face that previously wasn’t there.

It made him look much more alive.

He was like a little bird that had been locked up for a long time and was free again.

Even though he had lost the power of his divine eyes, he had also removed the burden on his shoulders. From now on, he only had to live for himself and no longer had to rack his brains for the entire beast continent.

Huanhuan pushed open the window so that he could see the scenery.

She smiled and said, “This place is beautiful. It’s a good place to recuperate. Your people are very kind. They’ll definitely take good care of you. You can do whatever you want.”

Yin Ji didn’t look at the beautiful scenery outside the window. He looked at her steadily.

“Thank you.”

Huanhuan shook her head. “I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn’t saved us, I and Clement might have died at Tao Wei’s hands. I’ll always remember this favor.”

Hearing his mother mention his name, Clement immediately crawled out of Huanhuan’s sleeve and shook his head.

Yin Ji’s gaze landed on the little black snake. “This is Clement?”

Huanhuan raised her hand and touched Clement. “Yes, you gave him the name Clement.”

Yin Ji looked at how close she was to him and smiled. “You’re taking good care of him.”

He rarely smiled, and it was because of this that his every smile was especially attractive.

Even Huanhuan, who had seen it several times, couldn’t help but be stunned.

She praised sincerely, “You look so good when you smile!”

Yin Ji didn’t care much about appearances. When he received her praise, he just smiled and didn’t take it to heart.

The two of them chatted for a while longer.

Yin Ji talked about the 10,000 Beast Temple.

“I’ve been away from the temple for a long time. I’m afraid this matter can’t be hidden anymore.”

Huanhuan nodded. “I think so too.”

“Knowing that I’m not in the 10,000 Beast Temple, those old guys from the Elders’ Association will definitely appear and cause trouble again.”

“I’ve already asked Leng Xiao to keep an eye on the Elders’ Association.”

Yin Ji said in a low voice, “Although Leng Xiao is strong, he’s only one person, after all. He can’t make clones of himself. I’m afraid he won’t be able to control those old guys’ rapidly expanding ambitions.”

“After I return to Rock City and settle the matters at home, I’ll rush to the City of 10,000 Beasts as soon as possible.”

“It’s been hard on you.”

Huanhuan stretched. “I’m actually fine. It’s mainly the people around me. They’re all working harder than me.”

“You mean Bai Di?”

Huanhuan nodded slowly. “It’s not just him. There’s also Big Goody and my other children. Xue Ling, Sang Ye, and Little Black haven’t been idle either. Everyone is busying themselves for each other. I really hope these days of being apart from each other will pass quickly.”

“When the world is settled, you can live the happy life you want.”

“I hope so.”

Yin Ji waved at her. “Come here. I’ll teach you something.”

Huanhuan walked over and looked at him curiously. “What is it?”

Yin Ji raised his hand and pressed it to the back of her neck. He leaned over at the same time, their foreheads touching.

“Close your eyes.”

Huanhuan closed her eyes obediently.

A moment later, Yin Ji made her open her eyes.

Huanhuan opened her eyes and realized that she and Yin Ji were actually standing on the top of the divine mountain!

In front of them was a large altar made of black stone.

Eight large stone pillars surrounded it, each engraved with ancient words.

Huanhuan’s eyes widened involuntarily. She asked in surprise, “Why are we here?”

Yin Ji took her hand and led her forward. “This is an illusion I built. Do you see the altar in front of you?”

“Mhm.”

“You must have seen other altars before. There are many forms of altars.”

As Yin Ji explained, several altars of different appearances appeared in front of Huanhuan.

Yin Ji said, “As long as there’s a temple, there’s definitely an altar. These altars have a very special function in addition to being used for sacrifices.”

He let go, walked to the altar, and sat down cross-legged.

“Go sit down at that altar.”

“Oh.” Huanhuan walked to another altar, pressed down on her skirt, and knelt on the ground.

Yin Ji said, “Follow my instructions.”

“Mhm.”

She saw Yin Ji close his eyes and press a hand to the ground.

Hence, she followed suit.

The moment she pressed her palm to the ground, Yin Ji suddenly appeared in her mind.

At the same time, Yin Ji’s voice sounded. “Can you hear me?”

Huanhuan nodded. “Yes.”

“We can use altars to communicate with each other. The altar at the top of the 10,000 Beast Temple is the largest altar on the beast continent. It can also be said to be the contact point for all the altars. In the future, if you want to contact others, you can use this method.”

Huanhuan was very surprised. She did not expect the usually inconspicuous altars to still be so useful.

She quickly asked, “I’ve seen altars on the dawn continent and the secret dragon continent. Can we reach out to their altars?”

“If they want to be in contact with us, of course.”

Huanhuan was very happy. “That’s great!”

“In addition, you can bless the beasts through these altars so that they won’t be infected by demonic aura.”

Huanhuan remembered his words and decided to build more altars when she returned.

Yin Ji reminded her, “It’s precisely because altars are very useful that when the demons invade the territory, the first thing they must do is destroy the altars. Therefore, you have to pay attention to protecting the altars and try not to let them be destroyed.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The two of them came out of the illusion.

Huanhuan opened her eyes and met Yin Ji’s eyes.

The two of them were very close, far beyond the normal distance between friends.

She immediately backed away from him.

Yin Ji didn’t mind. He coughed lightly. “Do you remember what I just said?”

“I do.”
