Chapter 397 - Extreme Joy Begets Sorrow (1/2)

Muir half-knelt next to Bai Qingqing and embraced her tightly. He was so forceful that there wasn’t any gap between the two of them at all, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. “I’ve finally…” Muir’s voice choked as if a ball of cotton was stuck in his throat. He rubbed his head against Bai Qingqing’s. “I really love you a lot… Thank you.”

Bai Qingqing felt perplexed. “I didn’t do anything, so why do you like me so much?” “Haven’t you done enough? Everything that you do makes me feel very warm inside. Makes me infatuated.” Muir recalled all the things from the past and broke into a blissful smile.

He found it very strange that Bai Qingqing didn’t realize it. Had she forgotten that she had saved him back when she still didn’t know him? From then on, his life didn’t belong to him anymore.

To the beastmen, Bai Qingqing was really not like a female at all. Which female would think that doing their own laundry was something normal? Which female would help add firewood when they were roasting meat at home? Which female would think of every single mate of theirs when they were eating things?

Males and females were never equal. This was a logic that Bai Qingqing, who was born in a civilized era, would never be able to learn.

“Meow—”

A cheeky cub climbed onto his leg. Muir was afraid that he’d fall and thus let go of Bai Qingqing, then placed the cub on the floor. “There’s something I need to go out to attend to.”

“What is it?” Bai Qingqing asked.

“It’s a surprise,” Muir said this, then added uneasily in his heart: It’s also a shock.

Surprise? In their monotonous lifestyle in the world of the beastmen, other than children and green crystals, what other surprises could there be?

Bai Qingqing seemed to have a faint idea what the surprise would be and urged, “Quickly go, then. Come back earlier.”

Could it be that Parker and Curtis had come? Or maybe a peacock beastmen had seen them and spread the news to Muir.

Muir turned into his beast form and anxiously flew out of the village. The moment he left, he cried out loudly.
