Beauty and the Beasts

Bai Qingqing stood on the second floor looking outside. When she heard the invigorating howls, she also felt agitated for some reason, and her heartbeat kept on increasing.

She saw from afar that Winston had returned and turned to quickly run downstairs.

“Winston, you’re back!” Bai Qingqing ran at full speed, beaming with pride. When she saw Winston’s pale face, her smile froze.

Upon seeing his mate, Winston’s heart relaxed and his lips curled up slightly. His body, which had been spent, couldn’t hang on anymore and he fell forward.

“Ahh!” Bai Qingqing let out a short cry of surprise and was pressed down to the floor. It felt as if a large slab stone was pressing down on her, and she almost fainted.

“Winston? You’re hurt?” Bai Qingqing didn’t have the strength to push him up. She held onto his head and shook it, but caused more blood to flow out from his mouth, dripping onto her snow-white skin. It was a ghastly sight.

Bai Qingqing paused, and she lost the ability to say anything. It could be that she had been pressed down too tightly that she even forgot to breathe. She just looked at Winston in a daze.

Parker and Curtis immediately rushed over upon hearing her cry and pulled Winston off her, placing him down at the side. The two beastmen watched by Bai Qingqing’s side, feeling concerned.

“Qingqing, how are you?” Parker quickly wiped off the blood from her face. When he saw that she wasn’t wounded, he heaved a great sigh of relief.

Curtis also assessed Bai Qingqing from top to bottom quickly before shifting his gaze to Winston, whom they had thrown aside.

“It’s Winston’s blood,” Curtis said.

Bai Qingqing pushed Parker away and crawled over to Winston’s side, checking his breathing anxiously and then placing her hand to feel at his chest. When she realized that Winston was still alive, she heaved a great sigh of relief.

“Quickly call Harvey over to take a look at him.” Bai Qingqing’s tone was anxious, and she threw a quick glance at Parker before fixing her gaze onto Winston’s extremely weak body. Her eyes were filled with worry and nervousness.

If Winston was awake, he’d definitely feel spirited.

As long as Bai Qingqing was fine, Parker had nothing to feel anxious about. He immediately ran out.

Curtis walked over and flipped Winston over to take a look before saying, “Don’t worry. He’s fine. He has just suffered some internal injuries and will be fine after recuperating for two days.”

Bai Qingqing felt a little more assured. “That’s great.”

Curtis saw that Winston’s right hand was clenched tightly. Prying open his fingers, when he saw the transparent crystal with pure energy, his brows raised in surprise.

“It’s no wonder he’s so seriously injured. He killed the behemoth king.” Curtis’s eyes were filled with surprise, and he threw Winston another glance. He had still underestimated Winston. As expected of a legendary beastman who was once the one with the most potential in the City of Beastmen of the past. His mental state and abilities were both not to be undermined.

Although Parker was amazing as well, being viewed as a beastman from the younger generation who could reach Winston’s level, he still paled slightly in comparison to him.

There were too many coincidences to his uprising, too much attribution to luck. On the other hand, Winston had slowly fought his way up, training himself one step at a time, without using any compensation to top things up. Just this simple and straightforwardness was worthy of admiration.

Curtis pulled Bai Qingqing up with one hand and clamped Winston with the other. “Bring him to the bedroom and let him sleep for two days. He’ll be fine after that. If you’re still worried, then it’s fine to let Harvey take a look at him.”

Bai Qingqing trusted him and nodded happily. When Harvey came, she didn’t get him to leave but still got him to give Winston a checkup.

Harvey’s conclusion wasn’t much different from what Curtis said, reassuring Bai Qingqing. She then got Parker to help fetch a basin of water. She washed a piece of animal skin and wiped down Winston’s body.
