Beauty and the Beasts

That was true. If Arthur had harbored ill intentions, what could they do even if he ate Right? They could at most kill him. Now, Right was still alive and had been well taken care of. This was the best result.

Parker let out a snuff, feeling displeased, then swung his hand to throw the fox far away.

“Scram! Don’t let me see you again.”

“Wu wu~” Arthur let out a few painful cries, got up, took a look at Right, then limped away.

Right raised his head, opened his beak, then let out a screech.

Bai Qingqing stroked his head and kissed him on the forehead. “My good boy, let’s go back. Left and Daddy are both waiting for you at home.”

“Screech?” Right drew back his gaze and nodded in anticipation. “Screech screech screech!”

They set off right away. Having pretended to leave, Arthur walked out from behind a big tree. He looked in the direction they left, then gave chase.

As they had Bai Qingqing with them, the group would have to rest several times each day. Arthur chased after them with all his might and managed to keep up with them somehow.

When he arrived outside the City of Beastmen, he was discovered by the eagle beastmen’s superb vision.

Screech~

An eagle beastman let out a warning cry.

Winston looked in the direction of the eagle beastman’s gaze, then said to Bai Qingqing, “Arthur followed us.”

Bai Qingqing was surprised. The wind was very strong when they were flying, so she could only squint and look down. “He’s so persistent? Sigh, he’s also a pitiful guy. Let’s not hold it against him.”

Winston said, “He’ll definitely not get to meet Right in the City of Beastmen. Don’t worry.”

“Of course I feel at ease.” Bai Qingqing smiled.

They soon entered the sky above the City of Beastmen. Arthur could only stop outside.

Howl! Howl!

The leopard cubs playing on a piece of empty land noticed the flock of eagles at the first instant. They hopped around excited. Left was also playing there. He lost the silence that most eagle beastmen had and was lively like a leopard cub.

“Screech screech screech!” [It’s Mommy and Right!]

When Muir heard this, he immediately dashed outdoors, carrying a still sleeping An’an.

“Qingqing!”

The flock of eagles landed on the empty space in front of the stone castle. Bai Qingqing slid down from the eagle’s back, carried Right, then ran toward him.

“Look, we found Right!”

Muir took a long and careful look at her, then moved his gaze selfishly onto Right, freeing one hand to grab onto his wings, lifting him.

“So heavy!” Muir frowned.

Bai Qingqing rubbed her nose, thinking to herself that he must have wanted to say “so fat” more. She admitted feeding Right more for the past few days to make things up for him, but when they found Right, he had been quite fat too.

Muir let go of him casually but didn’t expect that with a “plop”, Right fell onto the ground like a lump of meat.

“What are you doing?” Bai Qingqing glared at him, then squatted down to help Right up.

Right stood up while swaying his head, not minding it in the least. He turned his head and assessed the new environment curiously.

“Screech screech screech?” [Where’s this place?]

Muir said, “This will be the place you’ll be staying in the future.”

“Screech~” Right flapped his wings happily. This place was more spacious than the cliff. It’d be easier for him to practice running.

If Muir could hear what he was thinking, he’d probably spurt out blood. This was his child?

Left felt especially endearing to see Right, whom he hadn’t seen for very long. He flapped his wings and flew over, imitating how the adults called out. “Screech—” His imitation was quite good.
