Traveling through the world of beasts: Beast husbands! Stop snatching!

Chapter 299 Thank you, Master Hui

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, looking utterly exhausted.

Upon seeing this in my dream, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy and respect.

Lord Hui is indeed loyal to the Beast God; he has become so haggard in his search for the Beast God.

She quickly stepped forward: "My lord, you've worked hard. Let me help you back to your room to rest."

Hui did not refuse, and let Wenmeng help him walk towards the room.

His room was on the same floor as the Beast God's.

Pushing open the door and turning on the light, the room was simply and neatly furnished, almost exactly the same as before Hui left.

Hui looked around, his gaze lingering on the familiar table, chairs, and bed for a moment, and said softly, "This room... is still the same as before."

Wenmeng smiled and replied, "The furnishings in this room have all been rebuilt exactly as they were originally; not a single thing has been changed."

Hui nodded, sat down at the table, took the warm water Wenmeng handed her and took a sip: "You're so thoughtful."

I dreamt that he seemed to be in a good mood, with a hint of willingness to talk despite his fatigue. Remembering what he had just said about "running around," my curiosity grew even stronger.

She stood to one side and tentatively asked, "Lord Hui, you said you went to many places? What kinds of places were they? They must have been very dangerous!"

She was young and had grown up in Mutian City since childhood, and longed for the vast world outside.

Hui put down his water glass, glanced at Wenmeng, and saw that her eyes were full of curiosity and admiration. He smiled gently and said, "It wasn't particularly dangerous. We just went to some places that are rumored to have ancient god ruins, such as 'Tears of the Fallen Gods'."

"Tears of a Fallen God?" Wenmeng exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide open. "Is that the legendary lake formed from the tears of a god, shrouded in a seven-colored mist all year round? Did you really go there? Is it really like the legend says, with the lakebed covered in glowing gems, and the water so that drinking it can make you forget your troubles?"

Hui's smile deepened at her excited expression, and he shook his head: "The legends are mostly exaggerated. The fog there is indeed very thick, making it difficult for ordinary beastmen to venture deep into the area. There are indeed some glowing crystals at the bottom of the lake, but they have no magical effects. As for forgetting worries, that's even more nonsense. However, the scenery there does have a unique and mysterious charm."

Wenmeng listened with rapt attention, as if she herself were experiencing the scenery of those strange places through Hui's description.

She suddenly remembered another famous and mysterious place and blurted out, "What about 'Illusory Moon Reef'? Have you been there? I heard that it's a true paradise on earth, appearing only once every ten years!"

Mentioning "Phantom Moon Reef," Hui's smile seemed to pause subtly for a moment before returning to normal, her tone still gentle: "Phantom Moon Reef... it's not time yet. Judging by the dates, its next appearance will probably be on the night of the full moon next month. It's a fantastical island that only briefly appears every ten years under the interplay of dense fog and moonlight in a specific sea area, its scenery dreamlike and ethereal, yet also elusive and hard to find."

"Next month, the moon will be full..." Wenmeng murmured, her eyes filled with longing and regret.

She had never seen Illusionary Moon Reef in her entire life, and she rarely even left Mutian City. That kind of spectacular sight, which only appeared once every ten years, was as distant to her as the stars in the sky.

Hui seemed to sense her longing. Her gaze fell on her young, expectant face. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "If you really want to see it... you can ask Tingzhou to come with me next month."

"Really?!"

Wenmeng could hardly believe her ears. She was so excited she almost jumped up, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on her face. "Thank you, Lord Hui! Thank you! I... I'll definitely call Tingzhou! He'll be ecstatic too!"

She nodded frantically, as if she could already see the legendary, magnificent island under the moonlight.

Looking at her excited expression, a complex emotion flashed in Hui's eyes, but it was quickly masked by his gentle smile.

"Alright, it's getting late. You've worked hard on duty, go and get some rest." He waved his hand.

"Yes! Lord Hui, you should also get some rest!"

Wenmeng suppressed her overwhelming joy, bowed respectfully, and withdrew, her steps becoming much lighter.

She felt incredibly lucky to be able to serve such a considerate and knowledgeable person!

She gently closed the door and walked out along the corridor, still savoring the various wonders Hui had described, especially her anticipation for the Illusionary Moon Reef, which made her heart beat faster.

As she reached the corner of the corridor, she suddenly heard Hui's door behind her open softly again, as if it had been opened once more.

Wenmeng stopped and looked back, only to see Hui's figure standing at the door, not having completely walked out.

"My lord, is there anything else you need?" she asked hurriedly.

Hui stood in the shadows inside the door, his voice calm as he said, "Summon Di Lin to see me."

Wenmeng shook her head: "The Dragon King went out a few days ago and hasn't returned yet. He didn't say where he went, only that he went to take care of some things."

Hui nodded, seemingly unsurprised by the answer, and then asked, "What about Fugui'er? Is he here?"

After thinking for a moment, he replied seriously, "He is here. He only came back during the day today."

"I understand." Hui's voice remained calm and even. "Go."

"Yes." Wenmeng bowed again, and this time she really turned and left, her footsteps fading into the distance in the empty corridor.

Only after confirming that Wenmeng had gone far away did Hui slowly emerge completely from the shadows inside the door.

The gentle, weary expression on his face had vanished, replaced by a profound calm. Yet, deep within his eyes, a dark vortex seemed to be slowly swirling.

He didn't light a lamp. Instead, he walked to the window and stood quietly for a moment, letting in the faint moonlight. His gaze drifted into a certain direction in the distance.

In the stillness of the night, the entire city of Mutian seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Fu Gui'er was not asleep at the moment, but was sitting at his desk, flipping through an old leather scroll with some strange symbols and maps drawn on it.

He was still wearing those exquisite gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes behind the lenses focused and calm.

Suddenly, he paused slightly as he flipped through the pages, and his ears twitched slightly.

He vaguely heard a very slight noise coming from the end of the corridor outside the door.

It's like a gentle breeze brushing against the leaves, or like dew falling into the soil.

Fu Gui'er closed the scroll, stood up silently, and quietly moved to the door.

He did not open the door immediately, but listened intently.

However, the sound lasted only a moment, then vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed...

He gently opened the door. The corridor was empty, with only the wall lamp casting a constant dim light that stretched his shadow long on the ground.
