“The peacock tribe’s territory is just ahead. You’ll hide inside, while I lure them away outside. I’ll come back to fetch you later.”

“No way!” Bai Qingqing was so startled that she straightened her back. “That’s too dangerous for you!”

The corners of Muir’s lips arched up in a faint smile as he gazed at Bai Qingqing passionately. “You’re worried about me?”

Bai Qingqing said angrily, “How can I not be worried? They will kill you.”

“Don’t worry, it’s not so easy for them to catch me when I’m moving by myself.” Muir’s brows were deeply furrowed. What he worried about was that Curtis would snatch away Qingqing in this period. If that were to happen, he wouldn’t have an opportunity.

With one hand over her tummy that had a visible arc, she finally agreed to Muir’s arrangement in consideration of her child.

“Help me disguise myself. I don’t wish to attract the attention of males again.” Bai Qingqing’s tone was resolute.

A hint of pain flickered across the depths of Muir’s eyes.

Don’t wish to attract the attention of males again… Does Qingqing find me bothersome? But he didn’t fall for her because of her beauty—his life belonged to her.

“Okay,” Muir replied in his deep voice.

There were quite a lot of vines on the trees, as well as purple balls the size of peas. When one pressed upon it with his fingernails, a purple liquid would seep from it. This was a fruit that young eagles were rather fond of eating. Oftentimes, their beaks would be stained with that color; it had excellent dying properties.

Muir smudged the left side of Bai Qingqing’s face with the liquid from the purple ball, as well as a small patch at the corner of her right eye. When the wind blew upon it, the liquid dried up, leaving behind two purple birthmarks that didn’t at all feel sticky.

Bai Qingqing looked at her reflection in Muir’s eyes and felt rather satisfied with her current appearance.

It was comparable to her freckled face back then. Even better, this time it didn’t appear protruding and felt so natural that she couldn’t even feel anything.

Muir said, “Bird beastmen don’t have a keen sense of smell, so they won’t notice your disguise. But you need to remember that the liquid of the purple ball will dissolve when it comes into contact with water. Never ever touch water… also, try your best not to sweat.”
