Chapter 125 - The Ape King’s Motive (2/2)

Vincent stood up so that his forelimbs were upright. Bai Qingqing remembered something and had a bad feeling.

As expected, Vincent immediately transformed into a human.

This time, Bai Qingqing could clearly see the huge thing between his legs as she stood near him. Her face flushed as she averted her eyes.

“You saved me? Thank you,” Vincent said to her sincerely.

Parker quickly walked over to Bai Qingqing and used his body to block her line of sight.

Bai Qingqing quickly replied shyly, “I’m not the only one you have to thank. Parker helped you inside.”

“You’re the female. They listen to you.” Vincent insisted. His deep voice sounded feeble and lacked its previous power.

“… Okay.” Bai Qingqing could only accept that Vincent now owed her. She looked down at his shadow and asked, “Why did you pass out outside yesterday? The wolf beastmen came looking for you yesterday, and Hugh said that… you’d gone mad.”

Vincent immediately had a malicious expression in his silver eyes, which seemed especially cold.

“The ape king wants to kill me.”

Bai Qingqing was dumbfounded. She looked up at Parker and saw confusion in his eyes as well.

“That’s impossible!” Parker immediately retorted. “The ape king is the smartest person in the City of Beastmen. He has no reason to do that! He would be shooting himself in the foot. He even praised you yesterday.”

Although Parker said each word with conviction, he felt uneasy.

He never dared to trust the ape tribe too much as they were so smart that he couldn’t tell what they were thinking.

However, when Parker looked down at Bai Qingqing, his heart filled with determination once more.

Vincent smiled to himself wryly before replying in a grim voice, “That’s what makes him so clever. He praised me even though he wants to kill me. That way, when I’m dead, no one will suspect him.”
