Mitchell couldnât help but pinch it again.
Bai Qingqing felt pained, feeling as if her face had been clamped by a door.
She slapped off the misbehaving hand, putting on a fierce front, and saying, âI didnât expect that the scorpion king would forcefully snatch someone like ordinary scorpion beastmen does. You should know that my matesâ capabilities arenât below yours. Let go of me quickly and we can treat it as if nothing has happened.â
To be honest, Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief upon knowing that the one who had abducted her was the scorpion king. She was scared that it was some wild scorpion beast whoâd want to have sex with her right off the bat.
Although the scorpion king was hard to deal with, as a king, he must also be someone smart. So, he wouldnât fully rely on his instincts and act recklessly.
Seeming as if he had heard a great joke, Mitchell laughed arrogantly and said, âItâs true that your mates are strong, especially that snake beastman. Heâs above four animal stripes, right?â
Bai Qingqing was taken by surprise. To think that he knew of levels above four animal stripes. This meant that there must be deeper paths beyond that.
âI might not be able to defeat them in the forest, but in the desert, Iâm the winner!â
Mitchell didnât mention the stronger existences, but this made Bai Qingqing felt even warier.
If Mitchell, as a four-striped beastman, was able to suppress Curtis in the desert, then Curtisâs chances of victory would be even lower if a scorpion beastman about the same level as him were to appear.
All sorts of thoughts ran through Bai Qingqingâs mind, and the expressions on her face couldnât keep up with them. It made her look like she was stoned.
Mitchell felt as if his heart had been poked by something. If he was born in the modern world, heâd understand.
He was struck by Bai Qingqingâs adorableness.
He had captured her, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked her. His attitude couldnât help but soften a little.
âJust quietly live by my side. Although the food resources in the desert arenât as rich as those in the forests, you wonât have any shortage of food. I can send scorpion beastmen to go look for whatever you want to eat from the forests.â
Bai Qingqing sat on the cold stone bed, moving back a little until her back came into contact with the similarly cold stone walls. She then stopped and said, âYouâre a rootless beast, so why do you want me?â
âWho said that rootless beasts canât look for mates?â Mitchell pretended like he didnât care, as if he was a misogamist in the modern world. âThereâs no influence even if there isnât a spousal mark. Itâs sufficient as long as I like you. If we donât have any feelings one day, we can go our separate ways amicably as well.â
Go their separate ways amicably.
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes inside. Anâan didnât make a sound. However, she kept rubbing against Bai Qingqingâs embrace, making her feel a little awkward.
The matter of importance was to console Anâan. Bai Qingqing patted her back and said, âItâs too dark here. Are you planning on keeping me blind?â
Mitchell immediately looked apologetic and said, âItâs an oversight on my part. I havenât had a female before and have no idea that your vision is so bad. Hold on, Iâll go make preparations right away.â
After saying that, he turned to leave.
When Bai Qingqing heard his footstep sounds going away, she felt her way there too.
She felt a doorknob and was about to walk out when she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing into her face. A sturdy thing that seemed to have nails growing on it hit her head.
Rustleâ
The scorpion beastman on guard made warning sounds. However, he also overlooked the point that females had bad vision. He didnât expect that the female didnât see him and bumped into his pincer.
Bai Qingqing let out a cry in pain. Thankfully, she had walked slowly and the collision wasnât too hard. However, the surface of the scorpion beastmanâs pincer was filled with sharp and hard pricks. This bump left many small bloody holes on Bai Qingqingâs head.
