Bai Qingqing only felt that it was brutal when she heard this. She asked worriedly, âHow many casualties do we have?â
âOnly several tens,â Parker said, wearing a hint of grief and mostly admiration on his face. âDying in a battle to protect the village is the greatest glory for beastmen. Thereâll be no regrets!â
Bai Qingqing sighed in relief. This number was still within an acceptable range for her.
The beastmen quickly removed their armor, and their bodies instantly felt lighter. In addition to their excited emotions, they felt as if they were going to fly.
The beastmen who had stayed behind to protect the village had long prepared food for everyone. Upon Winstonâs command, all the food was brought over, and a campfire banquet was held under the sunlight.
The atmosphere became a lively celebration. Bai Qingqing took Parkerâs hand and said happily, âLetâs go over. Choose that shaded spot!â
Females couldnât be exposed to the sun, so many campfires were under the shade of trees. However, the closer they were to sunlight, the hotter it would be. Therefore, all the females would fight to sit on the very sides.
Bai Qingqing felt anxious and tugged Parker as she ran over.
Parker smiled. He carried her up horizontally and then started to run very quickly. His legs moved so quickly that they were like the wheels of a unicycle, with only a fan-shaped figure still visible, not losing out to the speed of ordinary beastman in their beast form.
Bai Qingqingâs hair was blown up by the wind, blowing into Parkerâs face and blocking his vision.
Parker shook his head while he ran. Bai Qingqing saw that she was about to knock into a tree, let out a scream, then quickly turned her head to brush off her hair from Parkerâs face.
Parker narrowly missed the big tree and took a spot next to a campfire of an extremely good spot. The two of them exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.
âQuickly bring Anâan over, as well as the leopard cubs. They should be near the small river in the backyard.â Bai Qingqing only managed to hold back her laughter after a while, then ordered Parker to run errands without standing on ceremony.
Parker planted a quick kiss on her face, then, as she glared at him angrily, he rapidly turned to run off.
Bai Qingqing wiped her face, but her expression was joyful. It was truly a good day. The males were happy over having won a battle while Bai Qingqing was happy over having an assurance for the future.
If the village couldnât stand up against the scorpion tribe, then she could only leave the village and live a life roaming and fleeing.
Parker hadnât come back, but Winston, who had removed his armor, first came to Bai Qingqingâs side. He even brought along a big fat prey, putting it up on the campfire.
Bai Qingqing smiled when she saw him, calling him to sit by her side. âItâs been tough on you.â
Winstonâs silver eyes were filled with strong feelings. With this one line from Bai Qingqing, there was nothing to fear no matter how dangerous the battlefield was.
âIt wasnât tough. Parker was still complaining about how he wasnât able to participate in this battle.â Winston wore a faint smile on his face.
It was unknown when this started, but Winstonâs inferiority and taciturn had lightened. He no longer just felt confident in battle, but with the relationship with his mate, he also started to let go of himself in front of her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Qingqing was very pleased with this side of him. âYou should smile more. Do you know that the reason you hadnât been able to get yourself a mate was that you donât know how to smile? If you were like this in the past, the females would all be fighting for you.â
Bai Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled.
Winston shook his head and held onto her small, soft, and slender hand tightly. The hot temperature of his skin was like his intense feelings, channeling into Bai Qingqingâs senses.
âI donât want to. If that were to happen, I wouldnât have the right to stay by your side when you appeared.â
The spot where their skin came into contact was quickly covered in a layer of sweat, but Bai Qingqing couldnât bear to draw her hand away. She couldnât bear to reject Winstonâs scorching feelings.
