He had to borrow his father’s powers.

  Mitchell thought.

  After taking care of Mitchell, Muir then quietly returned to the mine shaft.

  Parker was laying on the ground, acting pitiful and making Bai Qingqing anxiously go around him.

  As a black eagle, Muir was born good at hiding his presence. He hid far away in the darkness, silently. It was as if he had become one with the darkness; even Parker’s sharp senses didn’t notice him.

  “My shoulders hurt.” Parker wagged his tail.

  Bai Qingqing immediately went over to check. “It’s not bleeding anymore.”


  “I was hit on the other side. There’s clotted blood.” Parker sounded pitiful.

  “Oh.” Bai Qingqing took the luminous ball and shone it down, not noticing any traces. However, she still rubbed his shoulder without any doubt.

  “Does it hurt?”


  “It doesn’t. Put in more strength.” Parker requested.

  “Alright.” Bai Qingqing had already used her greatest strength. However, in order to satisfy him, she could only sit up and use the weight of her body to massage his shoulder.

  Parker comfortably sighed, his tail waving high up and wagging to the left and right in the rhythm at which Bai Qingqing massaged him. He looked extremely relaxed.

  Muir stared at the scene enveloped by light, tossing the pretentious leopard beastman endless times over in his heart. However, he didn’t move, looking cool like a stone statue.

  He couldn’t help but recall the times he had spent together with this female back in the peacock village.

  He racked his brains and carefully entered her life as if he was treading on thin ice, finally receiving her recognition to become her mate.

  However, at the very last instant, all his efforts had gone to waste.

  “I want to kill him with my own hands!”


  Bai Qingqing’s hateful voice rang out clearly in his mind, making Muir feel even more bitter.

  He wasn’t scared of losing. He was only scared that Bai Qingqing would hate him.

  When he was attacked by Parker and found out that Curtis hadn’t died, he still held onto the last bit of hope. However, when he heard her words, Muir felt complete despair.

  He wouldn’t ever have another chance.

  His scheming against Curtis had all turned into hurdles on his love path.

  The heavy rain washed away the blood on his body, but it wasn’t able to take away his despair. He only wanted to die.

  A flock of vultures circled above him, and he didn’t need to kill himself for his life to disappear.

  It was just that he didn’t wish to die in front of her. He wanted to preserve his last bit of prestige.

  Even if he were to die, it should be on the battlefield.

  Therefore, he traveled to the most dangerous places in the world.

  He didn’t expect to survive until today and even met Bai Qingqing by coincidence.

  When he saw that petite figure in the passageway, he wasn’t completely sure as she was wrapped up in a big piece of animal skin.

  Then, he saw her eyes. All it took was for him to see her eyes, and he was completely convinced.

  She was still beautiful as ever, her eyes emitting strong determination even though she was so weak.

  Even if she were to change her appearance, Muir still dared to say that he’d definitely be able to recognize her with one glance. This was how unique she was.

  Bai Qingqing suddenly sensed something and threw a glance toward a certain corner.

  Muir immediately closed his eyes, lowering his presence even more.

  “Oh, my hands are tired.” Bai Qingqing had wanted to drive a negotiation with Parker, but after saying this, her laziness got the better of her and she decided to not move anymore.

  “I’m not doing it anymore! I’m going on strike!”


  Parker turned over sluggishly, holding her hands and gently massaging them as he grinned and said, “Then, I’ll give you a massage. Your nails are a little long. I’ll bite them for you.”


  Since there was nothing to do anyway, Bai Qingqing said, unconcerned, “Do whatever you want.”


  Parker held onto her hand and started chewing away, giving off “Kacha Kacha” sounds.
