The awkwardness between them suddenly dissipated and Bai Qingqing pursed her lips, smiling, finding Winston, who was cold on the outside but was actually passionate on the inside, quite fun too.
Winston had a strong body, and it felt quite comfortable to sit on his thigh. She found a more comfortable position and nestled there, looking very leisurely.
The male who brought food came by again. This time around, he was chased off by Winston before he managed to reach her.
At night, Bai Qingqing and Winston shared one bedding. It was a rare alone time for them.
The night was very quiet, so quiet that they could only hear the frogs from the river outside.
The temperature at night was cooler. Bai Qingqing nestled in Winstonâs embrace, thought of Right, then let out a sigh.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDonât worry.â Winston wasnât a sensitive person, but because of the spousal mark, he could immediately sense his mateâs feelings. He said, âIâve already sent a few eagle beastmen to the fox villages in the vicinity to check for news. Even if this isnât the right place, we can head straight for the next possible village.â
Bai Qingqing hugged him even tighter, saying gratefully, âThank you.â Pausing for a moment, she rested her face on Winstonâs scorching and tight chest and added, âItâs not just for this time. Thank you for what youâve always done for me. Iâm really... thankful.â
With her soft face on his chest, his heart took a quick leap. Winston suppressed his palpitating heart and smiled, pressing Bai Qingqingâs head tighter toward his chest.
âYou donât ever need to thank me.â Winstonâs deep voice had a hint of oath as he spoke, âI feel very blissful to be able to do things for you.â
Bai Qingqingâs lips curled up slightly. She rested her head on his chest and steadily entered dreamland.
...
Two days later, Muir brought Parker to the fox village as planned.
After flying for four consecutive days without any rest, even someone as strong as Muir felt exhausted. His eyes were bloodshot, looking frightening.
Bai Qingqing walked over to help him. âQuickly go in and take a rest. Didnât I tell you to pay attention to rest?â
Bai Qingqingâs words carried a hint of fury at the end.
However, Muir felt as if all the fatigue seemed to be cleansed by water. He said, âIâm not tired.â
However, his hoarse voice exposed his fatigue. Bai Qingqing immediately pushed him into the house. âGo and sleep!â
Muir had initially wanted to follow Parker to ascertain the identity of the fox beastman who had seen Right, but found it hard to reject his mateâs concern. He had no choice but to head toward the grass house.
In his beast form, Parker whiffed and looked toward the house at the side.
Bai Qingqing was elated. âDid you find out anything?â
Muir paused in his footsteps and turned to look at him.
Parker took big strides into the grass house, exhaled, then stood up and turned into his human form, saying excitedly, âTo think it was this place! This house is filled with the scent of that fox beastman! Itâs definitely right!â
Overjoyed, Bai Qingqing grabbed Winstonâs arm. âThatâs great!â
He patted her shoulder and said, âIâll go ask the fox tribal head right away.â
âNo need. Iâm already here.â The fox tribal head walked over in huge strides upon being mentioned. Malcolm, who had been hanging out nearby during these two days, was also following behind him.
Bai Qingqing immediately asked, âWhere did he go? Where can we find him?â
At the mention of that beastman, the tribal headâs face turned cold. âThereâs still one more child from amongst the litter who fell into the river and whose corpse hasnât been found. He probably went to search along the river.â
After saying that, he laughed coldly. âSo what if he continues with the search? With so many days having passed, the corpse has probably long been eaten up.â
âMy condolences.â Bai Qingqing nodded, but she felt elated inside.
That guy had headed downstream along the river. This meant that theyâd be able to find him if they went down the river!
