Winston turned into his human form and took off the necklace. Curtis reached out for it, but Winston avoided him.
âCalm down.â Winston stared at him with crimson eyes. Although his appearance looked more dangerous, his interior was still composed.
âThe most important thing is to save Qingqing. If we canât kill Saint Zachary, then itâs best to not provoke him.â
âSsss~â This was the first time Curtis appeared offensive toward Winston. Their gazes clashed, and very long later, Curtis managed to suppress his urge and turn his head away.
âSsss~ Ssss~â
Curtis used unique sound waves to let his voice spread far out to notify Saint Zachary.

The sounds that Bai Qingqing made surprised the beastmen outside. Mitchell passed by with some food and immediately quickened his footsteps when he heard the commotion from outside, dashing into the ice house.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBai Qingqing?â
The moment he came in, he saw the female laying on her side on the floor without moving. After looking at the messy bed and the stone stool, Mitchell thought that Bai Qingqing had wanted to climb out of the window but ended up falling.
She must be seriously hurt seeing that she wasnât able to move even though she was stepping on the female childâs head.
âIâll help you up right away!â Mitchell dashed into the stone room and bent over, wanting to help Bai Qingqing up.
Bai Qingqing didnât notice that her feet were on Anâanâs head, which was wrapped up by animal skin. Her shoulder was in too much pain from the fall and she wanted to lay down for a moment. However, Mitchell came before she managed to get a breather.
She struggled to get up but was carried up horizontally by Mitchell at the next moment.
Mitchell moved the stone stool away with one hand and placed Bai Qingqing onto the bed. His heart ached so much that he felt as if he was feeling her pain. This was even more aggravated when Shuu told him in his mind that a height that might be negligible to him could cause a female to fall to her death.
âWhere are you feeling pain?â Mitchell assessed Bai Qingqingâs body anxiously and was even planning to remove her clothes.
Bai Qingqing moved back anxiously, avoiding his hands, and said, âIâm fine. Thereâs no need to be concerned about me. Help me to roast meat.â
It could be because the food wasnât as good as what she was used to, or because she was pregnant again, Bai Qingqingâs milk supply was decreasing by the day. It was hard to let Anâan have a full meal these days.
In order to let Anâan have enough food, she could only accept all of Mitchellâs currying attempts.
As she said this, she got up from the bed and carried Anâan.
Mitchell was still worried. When he saw that Bai Qingqing was fine, his worry was replaced by awkwardness.
âI knew it. This bit of height wouldnât hurt anyone. Youâve really worried too much, causing me to lose face in front of her.â Mitchell complained in his mind.
Shuu was assured to see that Bai Qingqing was fine. He stayed quiet in the black crystal and didnât show any reaction.
Mitchell added a few logs to the fire and started to roast meat. To meet Bai Qingqingâs request, he even brought a cup of diluted lemon juice.
Bai Qingqing picked up the lemon juice and started drinking. Her shoulder still ached a lot and she didnât have the strength to even pick up the cup.
Mitchell suddenly let out a âhmmmâ, looking toward Bai Qingqing while deep in thought.
At the same time, the huge scorpion laying beside Chrisâs corpse also captured the signal that the snake beastman had intentionally released. He opened his eyes.
Joy gleamed from his eyes as he got up, his pincer-like mouth opening and closing, then got near to the femaleâs lips and touched it.
He then straightened up and turned into a tall young man, walking anxiously over to the stone cave that his son had specially made.
