Beauty and the Beasts

Harvey found out through this that this strong beastman was a flying-type species, and he instantly felt greater pity for him.

When flying beastmen lost their wings, it was equivalent to losing their ability to survive. Was there anything worse than this?

Bai Qingqing raised her head and took a look at Muir’s expression. He instantly withdrew his emotions and returned to being emotionless.

“I’ll get treatment!” Muir said seriously.

He didn’t fear pain. On the contrary, he was addicted to it. The greater the pain, the more he felt that it was real, and thereby feel that he was alive. Since Qingqing wanted him to recover, then he’d seek treatment!

Harvey wasn’t surprised at all. Any male would risk their lives if this were to happen to them. Losing an arm would be better than keeping a useless arm.

Bai Qingqing said worriedly, “You must think through this carefully. If the treatment fails, your arm will be worse off than it currently is. You’ll also have to withstand intense pain. Why do it?”

Muir kept a straight face and didn’t reply, clearly insistent on his decision.

Harvey said, “You still have time to consider. I will experiment on wild birds first to practice before applying the treatment on you, increasing the chances of success. You guys can decide if you want to go ahead with the treatment then.”

Harvey’s words had an implied meaning to them. Him saying “You guys can decide” clearly meant that he had grouped Muir and Bai Qingqing together.

However, neither of them noticed it. Bai Qingqing only asked, feeling embarrassed, “Would it be too much of a trouble for you? You’d have gone through all the trouble for nothing if he decides not to go ahead with the treatment then.”

Harvey smiled. Bai Qingqing was still so kind, always standing in someone else’s perspectives when considering things.

“After I learn the technique, I can still use it when other beastmen get hurt. Why would it be for nothing?”

Only then did Bai Qingqing felt relieved and said gratefully, “Alright, then we’ll do that for now.”

After leaving Harvey’s wooden house, Bai Qingqing said, “You must think through it carefully. This concerns the latter half of your life. You must be prudent.”

“I’ve already decided,” Muir said firmly.

Bai Qingqing didn’t say anything more. She waved her hand and headed to her stone castle. Muir stood on the spot for very long, watching her leave. Only after she disappeared at the stone castle’s door did he turn to head toward the “home” she had arranged for him.

Although the sun was scorching, the stone castle had thick stone layers that kept the heat away. Therefore, it was very cool inside.

Beasts were sleeping everywhere on the bedroom floor — one snake, four leopards of different sizes, one tiger, and one human baby.

Oh, no, the baby was awake, but it was as if she was sleeping. She sat against the wall, in a daze, as if her acupoints had been hit and she was frozen.

Bai Qingqing found this amazing. She walked over to An’an’s side only to notice that she was looking at the walls. More accurately, she was looking at a bit of stain on the walls, her eyes not moving in the slightest. It was as if she could make something out from the motionless stain.

“What is An’an looking at?” Bai Qingqing asked softly, then looked at the sleeping beasts in the room.

She had no idea if An’an heard her, but she didn’t move at all.

Bai Qingqing also squatted down and watched for a while, not understanding what her daughter was looking at.

An’an was always like this. She could stare at something for several hours by herself.

Bai Qingqing felt unsettled. She quickly carried An’an up and walked outside to let her relieve herself.

An’an didn’t kick up a fuss. After she had cleared up her digestive tract, she felt a little hungry. Only then did she turn her head and nudge at Bai Qingqing’s chest, showing a reaction.

The day next, Parker and Winston felt better.

An eagle beastman kept on staring at the edges of the desert. That was where their first line of defense was at.

Winston also planned to go and take a look today. Bai Qingqing had nothing to do and thus went with him.

The wheat that they had planted previously had all matured. Parker took a stone blade with him and ran to harvest them.
