âHarvey?â Bai Qingqing called out tentatively.
The door closed again with a thud. A series of clanging and thumping sounds could be heard before silence fell over the house. The door was then flung open once more.
Harvey smoothed out his fur before opening the door. He was shocked to see Bai Qingqing again. âBai Qingqing?â He took a glance at the beastman hugging her and finally managed to confirm her identity.
Bai Qingqing went straight to the point as she didnât have the energy to make small talk with Harvey. âParkerâs injured. Please quickly take a look at him.â
Harvey didnât ask further and agreed readily. âOkay.â
The peacefulness outside caused the females hiding in their homes to not feel as scared. A daring female stuck her head out the window and exclaimed, âHey, isnât that the snake beastman who said heâd take Bai Qingqing away? Is that Bai Qingqing heâs hugging?â
This female was immediately pulled back by the other females in the house.
Before long, Bai Qingqing and her companions arrived at the City of Beastmen. As a doctor, the most important thing to Harvey right now was saving Parker. He rushed into the bedroom out of habit.
Curtis clenched his tail and nearly rushed forward.
Harvey quickly carried out a physical examination on Parker, checking his pupils and listening for his heartbeat. He said, âHeâll live. Heâll definitely recover after sleeping for two days.â
The wariness in Bai Qingqingâs eyes was clear as she looked at Harvey while listening to his diagnosis. âReally?â
Harvey smiled and turned to look at Bai Qingqing. His eyes flashed with lifelessness before he said awkwardly, âMales arenât as delicate as females. Heâll probably live since he didnât suffer any fatal injuries.â
Now that she had received some consolation, Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief and replied, âGive me some medicine to treat external wounds, then.â
âOkay. Iâll go get them for you.â
âThank you for your hard work,â Bai Qingqing said gratefully as she stroked the leopardâs head.
After Harvey left, Curtis wrapped his arms around Bai Qingqingâs waist and rubbed his palms against her abdomen. âYouâre starving. Iâll head out to hunt.â
Bai Qingqing then recalled that she had been hungry since that morning as she was waiting for Parker to return home. However, now that he had suffered serious injuries and was unconscious, she didnât have much of an appetite either.
With his arms still wrapped around Bai Qingqing, Curtis glanced sideways at Winston.
Winston immediately said, âIâll go hunt.â
âNo need. Help me guard her,â Curtis said. She was his female, so he naturally had to feed her himself. Parker couldnât be depended on right now, and he would rather not have food from an outsider.
Winston nodded.
Curtis pulled away from Bai Qingqing and adjusted her animal skin clothes before slithering out of the room.
Bai Qingqing glumly sat beside Parker. Seeing that Winston was standing in the doorway, she said to him weakly, âYou can come in.â
Winstonâs heart instantly began to race as he walked into the room stiffly. The air was filled with the femaleâs scent, which he was completely enthralled by.
Bai Qingqing used a towel to wipe away the blood on the back of Parkerâs head, and without raising her head, she asked, âHow is the tiger tribe? Are they going to change their target to the leopard tribe now that Rosa has befriended the ape king?â
âNot necessarily,â Winston said in a deep voice. âThe ape king wants all the power for himself, so heâll definitely attack the tiger tribe. Rosaâs father is being deceived. The ape king has so much authorityâof course he would trust him.â
âWhy?â Bai Qingqing asked in confusion. âWhat has the ape king done? Heâs just a beastman with two animal stripes.â
Winston glanced at Bai Qingqing and suddenly said, âYouâre not from the ape tribe.â
Bai Qingqingâs heart skipped a beat and she quickly raised her head.
Winston watched Bai Qingqingâs reaction and smiled. âJust as I thought.â
