Chapter 138 - Hugh Is Here Again (2/2)

Just as he promised, after taking care of her food, he ran out to find some logs and tree branches. He made a structure out of several thick logs, then placed a small tree branch on top of each layer, and the bird’s shelter was basically constructed.

Bai Qingqing was feeding fish to the short-winged bird when, from her peripheral vision, she saw a human figure outside the house. She turned her head sideways and saw that the person was Hugh.

She quickly lowered her head and covered her face with her hands.

At the sight of Hugh, Parker, who was standing on the roof, let out a roar and jumped down, landing steadily on the ground.

“Scram.” Parker stopped Hugh from going any further.

Hugh turned his body and gazed into the house. At the sight of Bai Qingqing, his lips curled up in a slight smile.

Parker’s brows knitted tightly. Sensing the enmity, Hugh shifted his gaze to Parker’s face. He handed a bunch of raw ginger to Parker. “This is for Qingqing. I hear a lot of females would get sick during the rainy season, so I especially dug these out for her.”

Parker lowered his gaze and glanced at what he was holding. He didn’t take it from Hugh and simply said in a disdainful tone, “I have plenty of this at home.”

Disappointment flashed across Hugh’s eyes.

Bai Qingqing looked into the bedroom and covered her face even more firmly. “Why are you here again? Cortis really will kill you.”

Upon hearing her voice, Hugh’s expression became sunny, a smile spreading across his handsome face. “Are you showing concern for me? I’ll avoid him in the future.”

Parker gritted his teeth and suddenly transformed into his beast form. With a push on his hind leg, he pounced towards Hugh.

Hugh’s response was pretty quick and he managed to dodge Parker, albeit in an awkward manner. He placed the ginger on the ground, then turned around and ran. Without turning his head around, he said, “I’ll come back tomorrow to find you.”

“Roar!” Even more furious now, Parker pounced on Hugh.

Both Hugh and Parker were two-striped beasts, so they were equally powerful. But in terms of agility and explosive power, wolf beastmen were inferior to leopard beastmen. Hugh was pinned to the ground and given a good thrashing.

While he tried to dodge from the mouth of the ferocious leopard, Hugh glanced in the direction of the stone house. He still had lingering fears towards that snake beastman and was afraid that this commotion would attract his attention.
