Chapter 1292: Arthur Returns Home (1)
The little fox hid behind Harvey and slowly got closer, probing his head out to take a look at Right. Suddenly, his nose twitched furiously and he cried out agitatedly.
“Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!”
Bai Qingqing protected Right out of reflex, then looked at the little fox. “What’s the matter with him?”
Harvey was perplexed, too. He picked the little fox up and asked in a gentle voice, “Why are you crying out?”
“Woof woof woof!” The little fox’s expression was agitated, his eyes gleaming. He kept on howling, splattering saliva onto Right.
Right shook his body in disdain, then hid by his mommy’s side, looking at him coolly.
Harvey said, feeling baffled, “He isn’t usually like this. It could be some scent on Right.”
As he said this, he also took a whiff, then let out a cry of surprise. “Right also has the scent of a fox on him. And…”
“And it’s very similar to the little fox’s?” Bai Qingqing continued his sentence, took a look at Muir, then said, “This little fox… can’t possibly be Arthur’s child, right?”
“Woof woof woof!” The little fox kicked his feet excitedly, wagging his fox tail vigorously.
Bai Qingqing smiled and said, “That seems to be it, then. Muir, go outside and take a look. I hope Arthur is still nearby.”
“Alright,” Muir immediately replied, then turned into his beast form and flew off.
After knowing that the little fox held no hostility toward Right, Harvey let go of him. The little fox was unable to suppress his excitement and kept on going in circles around Bai Qingqing and Right as he cried out.
Arthur was staying near the borders of the city. This city’s defense was too strict, and he’d always be noticed by the eagle beastmen before he could even get close to the city walls.
The eagle beastmen must have received instructions and thus didn’t make things difficult for him. They only chased him away.
He had no idea why he was so obstinate in getting the little eagle back. He just had the feeling that he must go in to take a look. Something inside seemed to be calling out to him.
Screech—
An abnormally bright eagle cry rang out in the sky above. Arthur paused. Was he discovered again?
Muir landed on a tree branch on top of him, turning into his human form and saying, “You’re Arthur?”
“Wuu?” Arthur threw him a doubtful glance, turning into his human form and then standing up. He threw a glance at Muir’s face and then immediately averted his gaze.
Many wild beasts would take direct gazes as a challenge. This was even more so for beastmen. When one wasn’t as strong as the other party, it was a great taboo to look at them straight in the eyes.
Although this male was like him, having no animal stripes on his face. Just by standing there, this guy emitted the disposition of someone strong. He was probably not to be trifled with.
“You are?” Although he phrased it as a question, Arthur vaguely had an answer. This male with a strong physique was the little eagle’s father.
Arthur felt complicated to know that the little eagle had such a strong father. He suddenly felt a sense of inferiority, and the thought of finding the little eagle receded for the first time.
With a father like this to teach him, the little eagle would definitely become a powerful eagle beastman in the future as well. It was much more suitable than being taught by him.
While Arthur was assessing Muir, Muir also threw him a few assessing glances.
It was similar to what he imagined. Weak, cowardly, wary, defensive.
Muir didn’t reply to the question but said in an emotionless tone, “Someone from our City of Beastmen has picked up a fox beastman child.”
Arthur’s eyes opened wide, and with a “swoosh”, he looked straight at Muir.
Muir felt some admiration after seeing Arthur’s reaction. He could sense this guy’s great love for his child.
“I’ll bring you to meet him.” After saying that, Muir turned into his beast form and flew at a low altitude toward the City of Beastmen.
