  The bus arrived. Bai Qingqing went up first and paid for three people’s worth before reaching out toward Winston. “Come on up.”


  She was worried that it’d be hard for him to get accustomed to it. The impression that Winston gave her was too honest.

  As for Parker, he was daring and quick-witted. He’d be able to survive even if he was thrown to Mars. There was no need to pay him any heed.

  What she didn’t know was that the current Winston would be able to go all out. He had stayed low amongst the humans, discovering that they wouldn’t run. Therefore, he looked for other means to move. Vehicles were the top choice.

  He wasn’t afraid of danger. Even if vehicles were behemoths, he’d hitch a ride without any hesitation.

  After Winston got on, Parker stood outside reluctantly, unwilling to get on. He blocked the path of those behind him, causing them to look impatient.

  Bai Qingqing could tell from one glance that he was putting on an act. Her attitude toward Winston was already abnormal. This could be said to be a girlfriend’s care toward her boyfriend. But if she did the same to Parker, many people would probably suspect their relationship.

  Therefore, she rolled her eyes at him. “Hurry up and get on.”


  Parker was stunned and instantly felt as if he had been dealt a serious blow. He then got on the bus by himself under the impatient urging of the people behind him.

  Bai Qingqing sat at the very front seat of the bus where three seats were together. She sat in the middle, and Winston and Parker sat on her both sides.

  “We’ll be able to arrive at Muir’s house by taking this bus. We’ll get there very soon,” Bai Qingqing said.

  The bus moved on, and the scenery outside the window slowly moved backward. Although its speed wasn’t comparable to beastmen, it was a refreshing experience. Parker immediately broke away from the sadness and lay by the window, looking out.

  “It can move by itself,” Parker said with a lowered voice. If someone else heard him, they’d probably think he was mentally disabled.

  Bai Qingqing smiled. “Let’s talk after we get home.”


  “Mm.”


  When they passed by the shopping district, Bai Qingqing wanted to buy them each a pair of shoes. However, at the thought of how they had been in the sewage, she gave up on this thought and only got off the bus at the Splendid Villa’s entrance.

  Parker took a whiff of the air with gleaming eyes and then looked around. “The air here is a lot more comfortable. There are definitely plants around. Where are they?”


  Winston’s gaze landed on Splendid Villa’s entrance. He could see the green plants inside.

  Bai Qingqing pulled him and headed forward. “It’s over there. His house is very big. You guys will be staying here in the future.”


  Parker was unable to take his mate’s hand and couldn’t calm down. He quickly ran to the entrance.

  Parker had wanted to wait for Bai Qingqing to come over for them to enter together when he saw a “small” and exquisite-looking plant. Gasping, he walked over uncontrollably.

  “Stop right there!” The security guard at the guardhouse stopped Parker and sized him up. His gaze became even more doubtful when he saw that he was barefooted.

  “Which house are you from? Why haven’t I seen you before? Show me your pass,” the security guard said solemnly.

  “What pass?” Parker asked impatiently.

  Seeing this, Bai Qingqing immediately let go of Winston’s hand and quickly ran over. “It’s over here. We just moved here.”


  Bai Qingqing panted heavily as she stopped by Parker’s side. She took out a card from her bag and showed it to the security guard at the guardhouse’s window. “Here.”


  The security guard took a look and then immediately opened the gates. His expression relaxed as he smiled and asked, “Why are you barefooted? I thought you were a homeless person. Although, this young man clearly doesn’t look homeless. This is part of my job. Please don’t hold it against me.”


  The people who stayed here were all influential characters with riches and power. The security guard didn’t wish to offend them, but what he said was heartfelt.

  “It’s fine,” Bai Qingqing replied politely, then took the card back, tugged Parker’s clothes, and entered.
