When beauty meets beasts

545 Get Out Of The Way!

Huanhuan exchanged crystals for some gold coins in Swan Valley. She took these gold coins and returned to the mine with Murphy.

Not far behind them were two sneaky dwarfs.

But they hadn’t gotten far before Murphy realized they were being followed.

He told Huanhuan about this.

“Should we capture those two and ask them who sent them?”

Huanhuan had expected this. When she took out so much fine gold, she had already guessed that someone would be greedy. It was only a matter of time before they were targeted. She said, “You won’t be able to get anything out of them, so there’s no need to do anything unnecessary. Let’s just shake them off.”

She and Murphy sped up and deliberately circled around.

The two dwarfs couldn’t keep up with them and were quickly lost.

This time, Huanhuan stayed near the mine with Murphy for a few more days. When the month was about to end, Huanhuan paid the gnomes two gold coins each.

One gold coin was their salary, while the other was the bonus.

The gnomes were extremely excited to receive the money. They felt that this was a good job that was difficult to find.

Huanhuan and Murphy returned to Swan Valley.

At this moment, Mark had already made two cannons and was waiting for Huanhuan to examine them.

Huanhuan checked them and confirmed that the cannons were fine. She put them into her space and paid Mark and the 10 workers according to their initial agreement.

Each of them received 10 colorless crystal coins.

Huanhuan said slowly, “The two crystals I gave you previously are your bonus.”

The workers were happy that the boss was so generous, and they worked harder and more seriously.

After coming out of Mark’s house, Huanhuan and Murphy walked to the outer valley. They bumped into a group of tall strangers walking toward them.

The group was about two meters tall. Both the men and women looked strong. They were wearing heavy metal armor and had strange patterns drawn on their faces using flowers and plant juice. They were not to be trifled with.

Murphy whispered, “These are Goffins.”

He was puzzled. Why would Goffins suddenly appear in Swan Valley?

Huanhuan was slightly stunned. She had never heard of Goffins, nor did she know what was so special about them.

The group of Goffins quickly walked up to Huanhuan.

The woman in the lead looked down at her and said arrogantly, “Get lost. Don’t block the way!”

Huanhuan saw the hard muscles on her body and couldn’t help but think of Yu Tian.

Yu Tian also had muscles, but she was much more beautiful than the female Goffin in front of her.

Huanhuan didn’t move.

Murphy pulled her aside and whispered to her, “Legend has it that Goffins have some beast blood in them. They’re brave and aggressive. They can fight with their lives on the line. If it’s not necessary, we’d better not have a conflict with them.”

Huanhuan’s gaze swept across the Goffins. This race was actually distantly related to beasts. How annoying!

The Goffins were about to walk past them when the female Goffin in the lead suddenly noticed Murphy’s face. Her eyes lit up.

She leaned toward Murphy and smiled very frivolously. “Hey, my name is Leta. I’m the daughter of the leader of the Goffin tribe. Are you an elf? You’re so beautiful. Do you want to hang out with me?”

Huanhuan’s expression turned awkward.

She didn’t expect Murphy to be hit on the street!

Murphy looked at Leta coldly, his emerald eyes devoid of emotion. “I’m sorry, I already have a mate.”

With that, he scooped Huanhuan up with his long arms and hugged her, showing that he was already taken.

Huanhuan: “…”

She was just a bystander. How did she become the party involved in the matter in the blink of an eye?!

Huanhuan was wearing a straw hat on her head, and her face was tightly covered by snow silk.

Leta couldn’t see her face. “Your mate is short and thin,” she said disdainfully. “She doesn’t look like your mate. She looks more like your daughter. You didn’t just find a random woman to fool me, did you?”

Huanhuan immediately exploded. “Who are you calling short?!”

“I’m talking about you, shorty!”

Huanhuan was so angry that she almost exploded.

She hated being called short!

The skullcap sensed her anger and jumped out. Its pink petals turned ink-black in the blink of an eye. The petals opened, revealing a circle of sharp fangs as it bit at Leta’s head!

Leta hurriedly dodged, but her ear was bitten. Blood flowed.

She covered her ear and winced in pain.

Seeing this, her companions immediately went forward to help.

Murphy said leisurely, “This is a duel between women. It’s not appropriate for you men to interfere, right?”

Leta’s companions looked at her. She was unwilling to lose face in front of Murphy and the others. She gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t intervene. This is a duel between me and this shorty!”

Since they were going to fight, of course, Huanhuan had to deal with it well. She asked Murphy to put her down.

Murphy whispered in her ear, “Leta is strong, but her reaction speed is not sharp enough. Find a chance to take her down.”

“No problem.”

Leta casually wiped the blood from her ear. Unexpectedly, not only did she not wipe it clean, but she also wiped the blood all over her face. Coupled with her resentful eyes, she looked especially ferocious.

She pulled out two sharp daggers and pounced aggressively at Huanhuan!

She was going to kill this shorty who dared to hurt her!

Relying on her short stature, Huanhuan nimbly dodged her attack.

Missing her target, Leta turned and continued to pounce on her.

Huanhuan kept dodging. Leta chased after her step by step, aiming to stab Huanhuan’s vital points again and again. It seemed that she was determined to kill her!

Unable to touch Huanhuan, Leta became more and more anxious.

Just as she missed again and was about to turn around, Little Green suddenly darted out of Huanhuan’s sleeve and wrapped itself around Leta’s neck from behind!

The thorns on the surface of the vines pierced her skin, and the poison slipped into Leta’s body through her blood.

Leta felt dizzy. Her limbs weren’t working.

With a bang, she fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

Huanhuan retracted Little Green and made a victory gesture at Murphy.

Murphy didn’t understand the meaning of the gesture, but he could roughly understand that Huanhuan was trying to express her joy at winning. He walked over, picked her up, and spun on the spot. “Well done!”

The few Goffins quickly helped Leta up from the ground. When they realized that she was poisoned, they immediately shouted at Huanhuan, “You’re so despicable. You actually used poison!”

Huanhuan sneered. “You make it sound like the two daggers in her hands haven’t been poisoned.”

The Goffins were speechless.

Leta’s daggers had indeed been poisoned, but only the few of them knew about it. No one else knew.

How did this little runt know?
