Chapter 319 - Framing (1/2)
“The place where the wolf king’s corpse was discovered has Curtis’s scent. There are also two snake bite marks on the wolf king’s body. The ape king said that he died from poisoning,” Winston explained with a grim countenance.
The ape king! It must be him who had framed Curtis!
Bai Qingqing was furious. She grabbed Winston’s arm and tried to squeeze forward. “Bring me to see the wolf king’s corpse.”
Winston’s hand instantly stiffened up like a wooden statue, completely losing any form of reaction as Bai Qingqing took his hand and they walked off together, with him in a daze.
The beastmen made way for the two of them and Curtis also slithered toward them, shaking his snake tail. The beastmen instantly made an even wider path for them. Curtis pulled Bai Qingqing into his embrace and walked alongside Winston. Parker also chased up to them.
The wolf king’s corpse was in the wolf castle’s front courtyard. A female was laying on his body, sobbing and crying. When she and her mates saw Bai Qingqing’s group, they didn’t have the same fury and vengeance that other beastmen had. Instead, their gazes were filled with doubt and probing.
“Can I take a look at him?”
Bai Qingqing’s tone was very careful, speaking very softly. Her pitiful tone caused the wolf king’s mate to cry even more sadly. However, she didn’t refuse her.
Bai Qingqing was about to walk over when she was stopped by Curtis. Parker understood that he was worried that Bai Qingqing would be assaulted, thus he walked up before she did, checking the wolf king’s body.
The injury was at his neck. There were two very deep, round bloody holes.
When the blood-red color was exposed, the female cried even more fiercely.
Curtis felt like laughing after seeing that, his eyes filled with ridicule. “I didn’t expect that a beastman who had been bitten by me in the neck can still keep a whole corpse.”
All the wolf beastmen instantly glared toward Curtis, having a strong urge to pounce at him. Bai Qingqing also glared at him, saying softly, “Be quiet!”
