Chapter 966 - : Return Journey (1) (2/2)

“Alright, we’ll go first.” Bai Qingqing took a look at the back and then said, not feeling assured, “Pay attention when you’re sleeping. Don’t let the scorpions launch a sneak attack on you.”

Parker grinned and said, “It’d be better if they come. On this trip, I realized that scorpions taste quite good.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

When their family was speaking in private, Muir stood far away from them, occasionally sneaking a look. As long as Bai Qingqing showed signs of turning her head in his direction, he’d turn his head away anxiously.

Humans could sense other people’s gazes to a certain degree. Even though Bai Qingqing had the side of her face facing him, she knew that Muir’s attention was on her.

If it was in the past, she’d definitely give him the cold shoulder. It’d be the limits of her endurance to not reproach him.

However, Muir had been such a great help to her this time around. Although he had almost killed Curtis in the past, it was only almost. This time around, he truly saved Parker. As Parker and Curtis’s mate, having received a lot of help from Muir herself, and given how everything that Muir had done was because of her, she shouldn’t make things difficult for him no matter what.

However, she couldn’t get to say that she would forget the past completely and not hold it against him. She only threw him a vague glance and then hugged Parker and Winston to bid them goodbye.

An unconscious glance. Muir had his attention constantly on her and naturally noticed it. His body instantly froze up. Parker, Winston, and even Curtis noticed that short glance. Only Alva, whose gaze was blocked by his huge wings, didn’t notice anything.

“You guys take care. We’ll be leaving first.” Bai Qingqing let go of Parker and got onto Alva’s back with Curtis’s help. The three of them made a move first.

After sending her off, the smile on Parker’s face dissipated. His brows furrowed tightly together, wearing intense worry. It was the same for Winston.

It was because they understood that this time around, there wouldn’t be any peace even if they were to return to the village.

It could also be due to this that Curtis paid no heed to Muir’s existence. If it was in the past, he’d have pounced on him already.
