After the wolves left, Bai Qingqing told Parker to bring Vincent out.
Has Vincent really gone mad? Bai Qingqing asked worriedly as she looked at the white tiger, who seemed to be on the verge of dying. He wont die if we just leave him like that, right? Should we hand him over?
Males dont die so easily, Parker said as he looked at Vincent, who didnt seem like he was going to wake up. He continued, However, I agree that we should send him back. This is our home, after all.
Bai Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief before saying, Its fine as long as he doesnt die. Hell stay the night here. If he still doesnt wake up tomorrow morning, well inform his family.
What? Youre letting him stay the night? Parker instantly exploded and scratched the floor furiously.
Cortis glanced at Bai Qingqing, not saying a word. He then walked over to her and picked her up. Leave him here. Lets go to bed.
Bai Qingqing was surprised that Cortis had given her his consent. She quickly turned to look at Parker. Parker, add a few more thick pieces of firewood to the fire so that Vincent can warm himself up.
Parker stood up and ran into the house. He said dismissively, Its not like hes a female.
Bai Qingqing felt helpless. She just wanted Vincent to get well and not catch a cold.
That night, Bai Qingqing slept with Cortis. She didnt feel cold as she had animal skin wrapped around her body.
The rain poured for the whole night and showed no sign of stopping the next morning. The moment Bai Qingqing woke up, she heard Parkers roars.
If youre awake, beat it. Dont watch my female sleep.
Vincent was awake?
Bai Qingqings fatigue instantly disappeared and she climbed out of Cortiss tail. Cortis had been sleeping soundlysomething he rarely got to do. He opened his transparent retinas and glanced at Bai Qingqing, then relaxed his body. When Bai Qingqing had climbed out of his tail, he coiled his body up.
Youre finally awake, Bai Qingqing said while rubbing her eyes as she walked into the main room.
The white tiger was staring at Parker. His fur was completely dry now, and he turned towards Bai Qingqing at the sound of her voice.
Bai Qingqing recalled Hugh telling her Vincent had gone insane, but right now, the tigers eyes were very clear.
Vincent stood up so that his forelimbs were upright. Bai Qingqing remembered something and had a bad feeling.
As expected, Vincent immediately transformed into a human.
This time, Bai Qingqing could clearly see the huge thing between his legs as she stood near him. Her face flushed as she averted her eyes.
You saved me? Thank you, Vincent said to her sincerely.
Parker quickly walked over to Bai Qingqing and used his body to block her line of sight.
Bai Qingqing quickly replied shyly, Im not the only one you have to thank. Parker helped you inside.
Youre the female. They listen to you. Vincent insisted. His deep voice sounded feeble and lacked its previous power.
Okay. Bai Qingqing could only accept that Vincent now owed her. She looked down at his shadow and asked, Why did you pass out outside yesterday? The wolf beastmen came looking for you yesterday, and Hugh said that youd gone mad.
Vincent immediately had a malicious expression in his silver eyes, which seemed especially cold.
The ape king wants to kill me.
Bai Qingqing was dumbfounded. She looked up at Parker and saw confusion in his eyes as well.
Thats impossible! Parker immediately retorted. The ape king is the smartest person in the City of Beastmen. He has no reason to do that! He would be shooting himself in the foot. He even praised you yesterday.
Although Parker said each word with conviction, he felt uneasy.
He never dared to trust the ape tribe too much as they were so smart that he couldnt tell what they were thinking.
However, when Parker looked down at Bai Qingqing, his heart filled with determination once more.
Vincent smiled to himself wryly before replying in a grim voice, Thats what makes him so clever. He praised me even though he wants to kill me. That way, when Im dead, no one will suspect him.
