Bai Qingqing stared at Mitchell, feeling anxious and doubtful. At the same time, she didnât forget to console Anâan by patting her, thinking to herself curiously, Why did this scorpion beastman suddenly seem as if he has changed into another person?
He had a demonic, nefarious, and uninhibited outer appearance, but his disposition seemed righteous. The concern in his eyes even emitted a hint of gentleness and harmlessness.
Anâan stopped crying very soon under Bai Qingqingâs consolation, grabbing onto her mommyâs clothes with great strength. Her little small hand was also covered with sticky blood.
The pity in âMitchellâsâ eyes grew even more intense.
An aroused scorpion beastman was easily angered and rough. However, he wasnât a scorpion beastman. After using all of his strength to take control over this body; the brutality was still there, but it couldnât affect him at all.
âMitchellâ assessed Bai Qingqing from top to bottom, then said in a gentle voice, âI wonât harm you. Youâre fine now.â
Bai Qingqing felt even more surprised. She thought of her first encounter with the scorpion king when he had suddenly become easy to talk to.
For some reason, Bai Qingqing suddenly tried to call out, âShuu?â
When he was easy to talk to the other time, this was how he introduced himself. He even revealed the scorpion kingâs lethal secret.
âMitchellâ revealed an elated expression and nodded vigorously. âItâs me!â
Bai Qingqingâs expression shattered. So, he was schizophrenic?
However, she was logical and noticed the octahedral black crystal hanging around his neck. She then recalled the translucent crystal she had seen before and suddenly came up with a conjecture.
âIt canât be that you are...â
This guess was too unbelievable and Bai Qingqing didnât dare to believe that. Her words got stuck in her throat.
âMitchellâ wore an expression as if he could die without any regrets, embracing Bai Qingqing into his arms. âItâs me, wolf beastman Shuu.â
Bai Qingqing completely stiffened up.
To think that... it was real.
Shuu really died without any regrets to have left a deep impression in the heart of the female he loved. It was an honor that many males who had become mates with females never get.
Initially, he wasnât planning on revealing his identity to Bai Qingqing. Firstly, it was because he was worried that itâd bring her unneeded grief. Secondly, he was worried that he was delusional and Bai Qingqing had long forgotten about him.
Being able to use the scorpion kingâs body to touch the female he dreamed of, Shuu felt so touched that he wanted to cry. However, this scorpion beastmanâs body was lacking in tear glands, and even though his eyes felt sore, not a single tear fell.
Bai Qingqing came back to her senses and said anxiously, âQuickly send me out!â
Shuu let go of her, his expression seeming to struggle.
âI... canât do that.â Even though he had died, Shuu still couldnât bear to part with her. He could only see her by letting her be by the scorpion beastmanâs side.
Moreover, Shuu was just a soul. It was true that he wasnât able to bring Bai Qingqing away from this extremely mysterious underground palace. It wouldnât be long before he lost control over this body due to the insufficient energy level.
In that instant, the scorpion beastman would definitely crush his soul.
Heâd only be able to speak with Bai Qingqing for longer by sitting like this.
Bai Qingqing didnât think much into it and only thought that Shuu was unable to do it. Her body collapsed, and only then did she feel the pain coming from her wounds.
Shuu picked up the animal skin that Mitchell had planned on letting Bai Qingqing use as a blanket and pressed it onto her wound. What Bai Qingqing found more unbearable was the cold. She immediately used the animal skin to wrap herself and Anâan tightly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAre you cold? Iâll carry you to the fire to warm up.â As Shuu said this, he reached out to carry her. However, he didnât manage to do that despite exerting strength.
Bai Qingqing quickly stood up by herself, walked over to the fire, and squatted down beside it. The warm firelight shone on her face, dissipating some of the terror in her heart.
Shuu looked a little awkward and slowly walked over to the fire, sitting down by her side.
Bai Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable and only bore with it and didnât avoid him at the thought of how this was Shuu.
