Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 966: Return Journey (1)

Muir was still following them, running at high speed with his pair of long legs but not struggling at all. However, his animal skin skirt was torn, and he could only run naked. As he ran, his p*nis would swing clearly in sight even when seen from the sky.

Bai Qingqing quickly averted her gaze, feeling embarrassed for quite a while.

She was used to rinsing her mouth when she got up. Now that they had lost all of their luggage, she wasn’t able to drink a sip of water. It felt uncomfortable.

Licking her dried lips and then stretching, Bai Qingqing patted Alva’s back and said, “Please stop for a moment.”

Coo-coo~~

After Alva glided forward for a distance, he came to a stop on the sand.

Bai Qingqing received An’an from Curtis, put a piece of animal skin over her head to cover her body, then fed her.

With her not having a good meal, An’an’s food wasn’t good either. Bai Qingqing had a strong urge to convert even her fats into milk to feed her.

“How long will it take before we can return to the village? Five days? Ten days?”

It only took them five days to come. They took the quicksand river path midway, and that saved them some time. This time around, they had headed back directly from Flame City and were truly walking their way back. Even though they didn’t have much luggage with them, it’d probably take them a few days.

“What are we going to do about water?”

Winston was the most familiar with the route and immediately said, “Given mine and Parker’s speed, we’ll be able to reach in another four days. We males can eat snakes, bugs, and other things to replenish water. You and Alva will definitely not be able to hold on for five days. Curtis and Alva are even faster. Why don’t you go back with them first?”

Bai Qingqing looked toward Parker and Curtis. Seeing that neither of them showed any objections, she agreed.

“Alright, we’ll go first.” Bai Qingqing took a look at the back and then said, not feeling assured, “Pay attention when you’re sleeping. Don’t let the scorpions launch a sneak attack on you.”

Parker grinned and said, “It’d be better if they come. On this trip, I realized that scorpions taste quite good.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

When their family was speaking in private, Muir stood far away from them, occasionally sneaking a look. As long as Bai Qingqing showed signs of turning her head in his direction, he’d turn his head away anxiously.

Humans could sense other people’s gazes to a certain degree. Even though Bai Qingqing had the side of her face facing him, she knew that Muir’s attention was on her.

If it was in the past, she’d definitely give him the cold shoulder. It’d be the limits of her endurance to not reproach him.

However, Muir had been such a great help to her this time around. Although he had almost killed Curtis in the past, it was only almost. This time around, he truly saved Parker. As Parker and Curtis’s mate, having received a lot of help from Muir herself, and given how everything that Muir had done was because of her, she shouldn’t make things difficult for him no matter what.

However, she couldn’t get to say that she would forget the past completely and not hold it against him. She only threw him a vague glance and then hugged Parker and Winston to bid them goodbye.

An unconscious glance. Muir had his attention constantly on her and naturally noticed it. His body instantly froze up. Parker, Winston, and even Curtis noticed that short glance. Only Alva, whose gaze was blocked by his huge wings, didn’t notice anything.

“You guys take care. We’ll be leaving first.” Bai Qingqing let go of Parker and got onto Alva’s back with Curtis’s help. The three of them made a move first.

After sending her off, the smile on Parker’s face dissipated. His brows furrowed tightly together, wearing intense worry. It was the same for Winston.

It was because they understood that this time around, there wouldn’t be any peace even if they were to return to the village.

It could also be due to this that Curtis paid no heed to Muir’s existence. If it was in the past, he’d have pounced on him already.
