Chapter 332 - Fleeing (3) (2/2)

Bracing himself, Muir got up. He tried to pull Bai Qingqing up, but that made him stumble one step backward. Seeing this, Bai Qingqing hurriedly stood up by herself.

Once they got out of the waterfall, Bai Qingqing froze.

There was a strong and bulky tiger by the lake. Upon hearing the movement in the water, it raised its head and looked over.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a wild tiger.”

Muir’s words put Bai Qingqing’s heart to ease. With her attention on the tiger, she swam in another direction.

The tiger was clearly aware of how formidable beastmen were. When it saw the male beastman, it didn’t make any move to attack them, merely staring at them warily, his gaze following the two of them as they moved.

Having finally climbed to the shore, Bai Qingqing felt a coldness on her back. She didn’t know if it was caused by cold sweat or due to the evaporation of the water on her body.

In the manner of a powerful beastman, Muir supported Bai Qingqing and steadily moved into the forest.

The tiger twisted its head and continued staring at the pair. As though it had noticed something amiss, it took one step forward with its front limbs.

Although Bai Qingqing didn’t see that, for some reason, her heart skipped a beat.

Muir abruptly turned around and glared at the tiger ferociously.

The tiger let out a roar of surprise and immediately fled in another direction.

Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief. Her legs were feeling like jelly right now.

“Don’t worry, I still have sufficient ability to deal with that tiger. It’s just that it would hold us back for some time.” Muir’s voice sounded cold and tough, but there was a gentleness and longing in his eyes as he gazed at Bai Qingqing.

It would be great if they could stay like this forever.

Bai Qingqing responded with a distracted “Mm”, oblivious to Muir’s gaze.

“Will I really bring about calamity?”

Bai Qingqing felt a chilliness in her heart. Could it be that her appearance in this world upset some balance, hence bringing about punishment from the heavens?

This… was not entirely impossible.
