Chapter 288 - Family Outing (1/2)

Bai Qingqing quickly greeted him. “There you are. We’re going out to play. Do you want to come?”

Winston’s raised heart suddenly lowered. Seeing the family leave, he thought they were going to move out.

“I have things to do,” Winston said in a serious tone. Then, worried that his aloofness would cause her to overthink, he added, “Don’t stay out too late. It’s dangerous outside.”

Bai Qingqing smiled and replied, “We’ll head out first, then. Don’t hunt. We’ll bring food back.”

“Mm,” Winston responded. He remained in place for a long time as he watched them leave, not averting his eyes even when they were out of sight.

He was too greedy. He got carried away because of Bai Qingqing’s gentleness and forgot his ugliness. He even caused her to be mocked by other females. But it made sense. Given Bai Qingqing’s beauty, only the best males were worthy enough to be her mates. Both of them were indeed incompatible.

He was honestly grateful to Eudora for helping him to gain a clearer understanding of himself. He previously prohibited her from entering the stone castle as he didn’t want to cause trouble for Bai Qingqing.

“Your Majesty, the tools have been prepared. When do we set out to the Camel Hump Valley to build the houses?” A tiger beastman reported to Winston.

“We’ll go now,” Winston replied without turning his head. He then led a group of beastmen out of the castle.

…

The mountains were covered in lush greenery. The green leaves and brown branches had been washed clean by the rain, and not a speck of dirt could be found on them. The colors were so vibrant that it seemed as if they had become more saturated.

The rotten leaves had been washed away, revealing the mud underneath. The ground was covered in broken branches and splinters of wood. Some trees were even uprooted in areas that faced the wind, leaving behind holes in the ground.

When Bai Qingqing and the rest entered the forest, the little snakes couldn’t be controlled.

They had long since gained their hunting abilities, but their parents had kept them at home. Now that they were outside, they quickly slithered into the forest and were nowhere to be seen after a while.
