When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 842 - 842 You Look Really Stupid!

842 You Look Really Stupid!

As soon as the first elder finished speaking, there was an uproar.

Xue Ling covered his chest and retorted weakly, “What right do you have to say that the divine artifact in Huanhuan’s hand is fake? What evidence do you have?”

“The divine artifact in my hand is the best evidence!”

Xue Ling gritted his teeth and asked, “Who can prove that the divine artifact in your hand is real?”

The first elder was very confident. “Didn’t the king of beasts prove that the bone knife in my hand is a divine artifact just now?”

Bai Di, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

“Perhaps this is an imitation. It just looks like it. The king of beasts was deceived by you.”

The first elder sneered. “This is just your guess. Do you have evidence?”

Bai Di was silent.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? It’s because you can’t produce evidence, right?” The first elder pressed coldly.

Leng Xiao interrupted him. “We’ll know once we try.”

Shuang Jing nodded. “That’s right. As long as you can open the altar, it’ll mean it’s the real divine artifact. If you can’t, it’s definitely fake.”

“Then let’s give it a try!” The first elder strode forward.

Under countless gazes, he walked to the center of the altar.

In the middle of the altar was a circular stone platform with a small black hole in the center.

The first elder knelt on the stone platform and chanted a prayer in a low voice. Then, in front of everyone, he inserted the bone knife in his hand into the small hole.

When the blade completely entered the small hole, the first elder couldn’t help but smile proudly.

He looked up at Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling.

‘Look, this is the real divine artifact!

‘Let’s see what else you have to say!’

Xue Ling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said slowly, “Continue. The altar hasn’t been opened yet.”

“It seems that you won’t turn back until you hit a wall. Then I’ll let you see who has the real divine artifact!”

The first elder tightened his grip on the hilt and spun it hard to the right.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the bone knife in his hand did not move.

The first elder’s heart sank.

That shouldn’t be the case!

In the past, when he watched the prophet preside over the ceremony, he could easily turn the divine artifact with a little effort.

Why couldn’t this divine artifact move when it was in his hands?

Could it be that the divine artifact recognized the prophet as its master and refused to let others use it?

No way!

At this point, he could only advance but not retreat.

Even if the divine artifact did not cooperate, he had to make it obedient and accept him as its new master!

The first elder gritted his teeth and kept increasing the strength in his hand.

His face gradually turned red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. His knuckles turned white as he held the handle of the knife.

Suddenly, there was a click.

The bone knife broke into two!

The handle of the knife separated from the blade. The elder looked at the handle in his hand, then at the blade that was still in the small hole. His face turned from red to white.

Everyone saw this scene.

The atmosphere became extremely quiet.

Pfft!

Xue Ling chuckled.

His laughter wasn’t loud, but it sounded especially clear and harsh now.

The first elder was in disbelief. “How did this happen? How did this happen?!”

Jian Yi and Leng Xiao had already strode onto the altar. They examined the hole carefully and confirmed that it was blocked by the broken blade.

He Zong walked up and saw the blocked hole. He frowned and said, “The divine artifact is polished from a unicorn’s horn. It can’t break.”

Jian Yi asked, “Are you saying that this divine artifact is fake?”

Everyone looked at the first elder.

The first elder was already panicking, but he still pretended to be calm. “Maybe this divine artifact hasn’t been used for a long time and is broken. It can’t be fake!”

A clear voice suddenly sounded.

“You broke it, and you still have the cheek to say that it’s real?”

Others might not be able to tell, but Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling immediately recognized Huanhuan’s voice!

They perked up and couldn’t be bothered to continue acting injured. They quickly stood up and looked around for the source of the sound.

The first elder was already guilty. When he heard this, he immediately asked loudly, “Who are you? How dare you act mysteriously at the altar? Come out here!”

“I’m at your feet.”

This time, not only the first elder but also Jian Yi, He Zong, Leng Xiao, and Shuang Jing looked down.

The floor was smooth and flat under their feet. There was no one there.

Huanhuan’s voice sounded again. “Please get out, or I won’t be able to open the door.”

Jian Yi, Zong Lengxiao, and Shuang Jing immediately walked down the stone platform.

Although the first elder was filled with suspicion, there were so many people watching him. He couldn’t deliberately stay and not leave. He could only follow the four of them slowly down the stone platform.

After everyone left, creaking sounds suddenly came from the stone platform.

It was like stones rubbing against each other.

A moment later, a huge stone statue rose from the middle of the stone platform. Along with the stone statue were four thick stone pillars with the totem of a hundred beasts.

The stone statue was more than four meters tall. The carvings were very abstract. One could barely make out a human figure, but one couldn’t tell if it was a man or a woman.

On the shoulder of the stone statue sat a little female.

Shuang Yun blurted out, “Huanhuan!”

Huanhuan waved at the people below the stage and smiled. “Hello!”

She felt that making her appearance this way was especially flashy.

However, Little Brat complained loudly in her mind, “You look really stupid!”

Huanhuan: “…”

‘Annoying Daddy System!’

No one expected Lady Huanhuan, who should be dead after falling off the cliff, to come back to life!

Not only that, but she had also opened the real altar!

Shuang Jing thought fast.

He knelt on the ground and shouted, “The divine artifact in Lady Huanhuan’s hand is the true divine artifact! Lady Huanhuan has returned from the dead. This is the will of the beast gods!”

Jian Yi and Leng Xiao also knelt down.

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling knelt down without hesitation.

Many more beasts knelt down behind them.

In the blink of an eye, a large group of them had knelt down.

Some of the people who were still watching also knelt down. In the end, only the people from the Elders’ Association were still standing. The others were all kneeling on the ground.

The first elder’s expression was extremely ugly.

He glared fiercely at Lin Huanhuan, who was sitting on the shoulder of the statue.

If gazes could materialize, Lin Huanhuan would have been cut into pieces by him.

Unexpectedly, he was still tricked by her.

He had said so much just now and thought that victory was in his grasp. He did not expect everything to be within Lin Huanhuan’s calculations. She must have been hiding in the dark and laughing at him just now.

In everyone’s eyes, his words
