Remaining in his beast form, rage surfaced in Curtis’s eyes as he turned around and prepared to leave.

Snow was all by herself right now, he had to rush over instantly.

Muir chased for a few steps, before saying in a lowered voice, “If you go and find her now, you’re going to put her in danger.”

Curtis’s upper body transformed into human form before he cast a disdainful look at Muir. “That’s because you’re useless. With me around, look who dares to come near.”

Muir’s lips arched coldly. “Can you guarantee you’ll be able to stay by her side all the time? Can you bear to see her live under murderous stares every living moment?”

At the thought of that image, Curtis hesitated.

He had the intent to kill the eagle beastmen, but…

“Can you confirm she’s safe right now?”

Muir instantly replied, “There’s a peacock tribe village ahead. She’s just inside, and she’s perfectly safe. But the prerequisite is that the eagle beastmen mustn’t find her. If the peacock tribe comes to know about Qingqing’s matter, it will get troublesome.”

Curtis calmly looked up at the eagle beastmen who had landed on the tree branches. Despite the calmness in Curtis’s gaze, the eagle beastmen up there felt a chill run through their bodies for some reason, and they were in their highest states of alert.

“Rather than remaining passive, why don’t we capture and kill all of them once and for all?” Muir suggested.

“Okay.”

They didn’t speak in hushed tones for the last sentence, and the eagle beastmen heard them perfectly.

They wouldn’t sit by and wait to be killed either. When they flew to the tree crown, they didn’t give them any chance to attack. After a brief discussion, they sent two weaker eagle beastmen back to the City of Beastmen to seek reinforcements.

They only had to bring back the message that Bai Qingqing was at Sea Cliff, and the ape king and leopard king would surely send out reinforcements. With that, they might have a chance of winning this battle.

Muir looked up at the skies and knew about their arrangement. He analyzed this from Curtis’s standpoint:

“They sent someone to bring back a message. It takes an eagle beastman fourteen days to fly back and forth. We have fourteen days to kill all the eagle beastmen here. You can then leave with Bai Qingqing.”

Curtis looked towards Muir and suppressed the urge to kill the latter as he received the firmly wrapped fake person from him.

Muir’s lips curled to reveal a faint smile for a fleeting moment.

“I’ll go back and take care of Qingqing then. You’re worried about leaving her alone too, aren’t you?”

With that, Muir transformed into an eagle and flew away. As he didn’t bring “Bai Qingqing” away with him, that group of eagle beastmen didn’t follow him.

Curtis held “Bai Qingqing” tightly to his chest and thought to himself that when the opportunity arose, he would definitely kill that eagle!

…

Muir came to the peacock tribe once again, but he was blocked outside. He had no choice but to get the peacock beastman to ask Bai Qingqing to come out.

Shortly after, Bai Qingqing came out sitting on a peacock. Upon seeing that Muir was safe and sound, her heart was put to ease.

After sending Bai Qingqing out, the peacock instantly flew back.

“Did you send them away? Can we leave now?” Bai Qingqing asked excitedly. She was hugging all her luggage to her chest. As she gazed at the big yellow bird in Muir’s hands, she started to salivate.

Muir stroked Bai Qingqing’s head. “You must be hungry. You haven’t eaten for a day. I’ll roast some meat for you now.”

Bai Qingqing’s face fell. As she walked out of the village, she said, “I was wondering why you came back today. If you were going to lure them away, it would at least take a few days, right?”

“I was worried about you.” Muir pulled Bai Qingqing’s hand. When she struggled, he let it go. “I just wanted to tell you that there’s fresh water here.”

“Oh.” Bai Qingqing smoothed her hair, deliberately keeping a distance of about one meter away from Muir.

Muir said, “You’ll be giving birth in about a month. I’m thinking you could give birth here before we leave.”

As they spoke, the two of them came to a river.
