When Beauty Meets Beasts - Chapter 810
810 Was She Willing? Or Not?
“I wanted to refuse!” Shuang Yun was so angry that he paced around the house. “But what if Big Goody likes Quan Rong? I can’t ruin my daughter’s marriage just because of my selfish desires, right? I could only tell him that I had to come back and discuss it with the rest of the family before making a decision.”
Bai Di said, “Isn’t that a good answer?”
“It’s not good at all!”
Shuang Yun was very unhappy. His precious daughter was so cute. None of those brats outside were worthy of her!
The bedroom door on the second floor was pulled open.
Huanhuan yawned as she walked out. She narrowed her eyes like a lazy kitten and asked vaguely, “What marriage proposal? Who’s getting married?”
Shuang Yun’s anger dissipated when he saw his wife.
He ran upstairs and picked Huanhuan up so that she wouldn’t accidentally miss her footing and fall down the stairs.
“We’re talking about Quan Rong and Big Goody.”
Huanhuan sat in Shuang Yun’s arms and let him carry her downstairs.
She tilted her head. “Quan Rong wants to marry Big Goody?”
“It’s Quan Rong’s brother who came to suggest a proposal to me just now. He hopes that Big Goody can marry Quan Rong.”
“I see!” Realization dawned on Huanhuan. “Did you agree?”
“No, I said I had to come back and discuss it with the family before giving an answer.”
Huanhuan nodded slowly. “This is not a small matter. We do have to discuss it carefully.”
Shuang Yun lowered her to a stool. Bai Di had placed steaming meat porridge and buns on the table.
Huanhuan picked up a bun and took small bites.
The bun was soft, and the meat filling was fresh and fragrant. It was especially delicious!
Shuang Yun looked at her. “Do you want Quan Rong to be our son-in-law?”
Huanhuan said as she ate, “We’ll have to ask Big Goody about this first. As long as Big Goody agrees, I have no objections.”
“What if Big Goody doesn’t agree?”
“Then I definitely won’t agree either. This is Big Goody’s marriage. Her opinion is the most important. I’ll leave this matter to her.”
“Then I’ll go find Big Goody and ask her what she thinks.”
Shuang Yun immediately went down the mountain.
Huanhuan finished the meat bun in her hand and looked up at Bai Di. “Do you think Big Goody will agree to Quan Rong’s marriage proposal?”
Bai Di raised his hand to wipe the grease from the corner of her mouth. “It’s a little risky,” he said slowly.
“You mean Big Goody doesn’t like Quan Rong? Then who does she like? Wang Shui?”
Bai Di smiled helplessly. “How can I understand all you females?”
“That’s true.” Huanhuan picked up another meat bun and ate it slowly. “If I have to choose between Quan Rong and Wang Shui to be my son-in-law, I’d rather choose Quan Rong.”
Bai Di was interested. “Why?”
“My instincts tell me that Wang Shui is not simple. If Big Goody is with him, she’ll probably suffer.”
…
After Shuang Yun went down the mountain, he went straight to the camp.
He found his eldest daughter supervising the training of the beast soldiers in the training ground.
When the beast soldiers saw His Majesty the Beast King, they knelt on one knee and bowed to him.
Shuang Yun waved them all to their feet.
He said to his eldest daughter, “Let’s go. I’ll treat you to wine!”
Shuang Yin said, “I don’t drink.”
He had almost forgotten that his eldest daughter had never touched wine. Shuang Yun immediately changed his suggestion. “Then will you accompany me to the fruit forest? The fruits are about to ripen. Let’s pick some sweet fruits and make fruit wine for your mother.”
“Mhm.”
The father and daughter left the camp and went to the fruit forest.
The people in charge of taking care of the vegetable fields and fruit forests were the Tree Tribe. The tribe leader, Ju An, was arranging for people to pick the fruits. In the future, these fruits would be transported to various tribes and beast cities to be exchanged for crystals or other supplies.
The trees were filled with red sweet fruits. At a glance, there was a large red area. It was especially pleasing.
Shuang Yin climbed up the tree, carefully picked out the reddest, largest, and plumpest fruits, and placed them in the bamboo basket on her back.
Shuang Yun casually chatted with him about the Flaming Dog Tribe.
“The reason why Cang Yi brought people here this time was to avenge his brother. Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding. Now that Cang Rong has returned to his brother’s side safely, the grudge between us and the Blazing Dog Tribe is written off.”
Shuang Yin carefully wiped the sweet fruits she had picked clean and replied without looking up, “Oh.”
Shuang Yun crossed his arms and leaned against the tree trunk. He asked slowly, “I heard you have a good relationship with Quan Rong?”
“It’s okay.”
Was their relationship okay or not?
This ambiguous answer made Shuang Yun conflicted. He couldn’t help but ask, “Are you willing to become mates with Quan Rong?”
Shuang Yin paused.
This time, she finally looked down at her father standing under the tree.
“Why should I mate with Quan Rong?”
“Because he came to propose.”
Shuang Yin jumped down from the tree and asked solemnly, “A marriage proposal? When did this happen?”
“Just now, his brother came to me and said that Quan Rong likes you and wants to be your mate. He asked if I agreed. I said I wanted to discuss it with you before making a decision.”
Shuang Yun explained the situation in a few words.
He studied his eldest daughter’s expression to see if she agreed or not.
Unfortunately, Shuang Yin’s face was expressionless. She was especially calm.
She handed Shuang Yun the half-filled basket of sweet fruits.
“Continue picking fruits. I’ll talk to Quan Rong.”
“Oh.”
Shuang Yun carried the bamboo basket and watched his eldest daughter leave. He was still conflicted—
Was she willing? Or not?
He had to be sure!
…
Shuang Yin arrived at the relay station and asked the canine beasts living here where Quan Rong was.
Coincidentally, Cang Yi walked out of the relay station. When he saw Shuang Yin, he immediately smiled kindly like a father. “Princess Shuang Yin, why are you here?”
Shuang Yin nodded slightly. “Hello, I’m here to look for Quan Rong. Is he here?”
“He’s practicing weights in the backyard. Let me take you to him.”
“Thank you!”
Cang Yi led Shuang Yin into the relay station and into the backyard.
At this moment, Quan Rong was standing in the courtyard. He was bare-chested and had an animal hide skirt around his waist. He picked up a rock in each hand.
Sweat flowed down his chest muscles and into his hide skirt.
Cang Yi opened his mouth and said, “Someone is looking for you.”
Hearing this, Quan Rong turned his head and forgot to look over. He immediately saw Shuang Yin standing beside his brother. He was so frightened that his fingers loosened, and the two rocks fell heavily to the ground.
“W-Why are you here?”
“I came to tell you something.” Shuang Yin walked over and picked up a rock with one hand. She weighed it. “It’s quite heavy.”
Quan Rong said, “I specially got someone to custom-make this for exercise.”
“Like I said, your biggest flaw isn’t your strength but that your lower body isn’t steady enough. You should practice the horse stance more than weightlifting.”
“Horse stance?”
