The grass house was very clean, but the nest used for sleeping in probably hadn’t been used for very long and had gotten a little damp. Winston carried the grass out to dry in the sun and then looked for a piece of wood for Bai Qingqing to sit on.

  “I’ll go and bring your luggage in. You sit here by yourself and wait for a while.” After saying that, Winston changed his mind and said, “Forget it, let’s go together.”


  Bai Qingqing said in amusement, “Go on. Close the door after you. I’ll just rest here for a while, not making a sound even if someone calls for me.”


  Hearing this, Winston felt that he had kept too strict a watch over her. He went along with her wishes and said gently, “Alright, I’ll be back very soon.”


  “En.” Bai Qingqing sat down docilely, hugging her knees with her arms, resting her head on her arms to rest.

  After Winston went out, he closed the door, and the room immediately became so dark that it was hard to see one’s hands. With nothing to lean on, it gave her the feeling that there were all sorts of monsters hiding in the dark. She started to feel the side effects from the horror movies she had watched in the past.

  Bai Qingqing gulped and suddenly felt a little scared of the dark. She raised her head and looked around.

  She felt so regretful. She should have gone along with Winston.

  Bai Qingqing clenched her teeth and sat there, not moving. After persisting for five minutes, she stood up.

  The moment she did, the last string in her tensed-up heart was completely snapped by the horror she felt.

  No! She must go and look for Winston!

  Bai Qingqing headed toward the bedroom door with gusto but accidentally tripped over something.

  “Ah!” Bai Qingqing screamed.

  The object Bai Qingqing kicked rattled loudly, and her toes hurt a lot as well. Her heart palpitated and she screamed, wanting to dash out, hoping to be able to bath under the sunlight at the very next second.

  “Clank!” Light rays came in and Bai Qingqing’s dream came through. She wore a relieved expression as if she had escaped death.

  However, the male voice that rang out thereafter brought her back to her senses.

  “What happened?”


  The owner of the voice was clearly very young. He seemed to be very anxious, pushing the door and dashing in. Without any support, the door closed with a bang and the room sank into darkness again.

  Bai Qingqing was no longer afraid of the dark nor ghosts and other horrifying things at this moment. As long as she was given a cat, she could be revived at full health points, let alone the fact that there was another living person in the room.

  Bai Qingqing rapidly turned, struggled to put on her mask, then said coldly, “I’m fine. Who are you?”


  “Cough cough, I’m a fox tribe male. The tribal head has instructed me to bring food to you.” After knowing that Bai Qingqing was fine, he suddenly felt restrained and nervous. He stopped rigidly by the bedroom door and didn’t enter.

  Bai Qingqing touched her face. After ascertaining that half her face was covered up, she turned and looked into the darkness, saying politely, “No need. My mate will bring back food. But we’re still thankful for your kindness. If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”


  Someone’s heart was beating vigorously like the sound of drums.

  The male in the room opened his mouth slightly, his beautiful fox eyes opened wide as well, his face filled with astonishment.

  When he heard the tribal head praising how beautiful this female was, he didn’t think much of it. What could he tell from just half a face? After seeing it in person, he realized that the tribal head’s simple words of praise hadn’t been able to describe even 1% of her beauty.

  This pair of eyes were unbelievably big. Her eyes were very bright and her gaze looked extremely adorable.

  He had always thought that fox beastmen had the most beautiful eyes, but hadn’t expected that this pair of eyes was more mesmerizing than any he had ever seen. They were unlike fox eyes, without a seductive rising end. On the contrary, they were even slightly droopy…… But why did they look so nice?
