“It’s been two days. The time in which the scorpion poison is at its worst is already over. If Curtis is alive now, he will be fine.” Parker consoled her.

  Bai Qingqing lowered her head to look at the colorful snake tattoo on her ankle, rubbing it with her hand. She felt hints of coolness coming from it that was like what she’d sense from Curtis.

  From the corner of her eyes, Bai Qingqing secretly threw a glance at the imposing figure behind her, feeling mixed emotions of worry and joy.

  This family would only be complete after Curtis returned. However, there was suddenly an additional family member. Moreover, he was Curtis’s enemy……

  Before Curtis left, Muir was in the bedroom. He should have recognized Muir’s existence then. Otherwise, he’d have thrown him out or even killed him.

  He should more or less feel upset to find out that Muir’s status had been affirmed while he wasn’t around.

  Bai Qingqing scratched her head in irritation, making her curly hair fluff up like a tuft of corn silk.

  Parker smiled, and his long and slender fingers passed through her hair, combing through it slowly. “Do you want to eat here today? Then, let me comb your hair.”


  Bai Qingqing was too lazy to move and nodded in reply.

  Parker was too lazy to go to the bedroom to get a comb, so he threw a glance at Muir. “Hey, I’m going to untangle Qingqing’s hair. Go get the comb.”


  Bai Qingqing turned to glare at him. Parker’s tone sounded extremely smug, like the profligate sons from ancient days. It gave one the urge to beat him up.

  However, Parker was born the son of a beastman king and was also considered nobility.

  Before she could say anything, the spirited Muir was already asking, “What is a comb?”


  Seeing how Parker was busy doing things around Bai Qingqing while he had nowhere to exert his energy, Muir felt very excited to be able to do something for her. How could he possibly feel displeased?

  “It’s a tool that Qingqing especially uses to tidy her hair. I don’t recall where it has been placed, either. Go look around. It’s pink. You’ll be able to see it straight away.” After Parker said that, he then gestured further, drawing out the comb that Bai Qingqing had brought over from the modern world.

  Muir had an idea and immediately went to look for it.

  Muir dashed off like the wind, and the leopard cubs’ instincts of chasing escaping prey made them raise their heads. Without a second thought, all of them dashed after him.

  “Howl howl howl!” The leopard cubs crazily chased after the “prey” in front of them like wild dogs. They finally caught up to their target when making a turn to enter the bedroom, and all of them pounced toward him like arrows released from a bow.

  Muir had just stopped when a few leopard cubs pounced on his back. He was stunned for a moment before breaking into a smile.

  The leopard cubs’ soft limbs locked onto his body with difficulty. If Muir moved his body in the slightest, they’d be thrown off. Even though they tried very hard to grab onto him with their sharp nails, they weren’t able to hurt Muir’s skin that had a burned layer.

  Helpless and weak. However, they should be considered strong amongst children.

  At the thought of how the ones on his back were all Bai Qingqing’s children, Muir didn’t feel angry at all. On the contrary, he was doting and indulging toward them, carrying them on his back while looking around for the comb in the room.

  Howl?

  Having pounced onto their prey successfully, the leopard cubs felt satisfied and slid off from the strong body.

  They followed Muir curiously, occasionally crying out to express their existence.

  Muir wanted to get along better with the leopard cubs, but he couldn’t attend to them now. He had his hands full looking for the comb.

  Pink color. Was there anything pink in the room?

  Was there any lasting object that was pink in color? Parker couldn’t be making a fool of him, could he?

  However, Muir thought to himself that seeing how Bai Qingqing didn’t retort, it must be real.
