Chapter 184 - He’ll Live (2/2)

After Harvey left, Cortis wrapped his arms around Bai Qingqing’s waist and rubbed his palms against her abdomen. “You’re starving. I’ll head out to hunt.”

Bai Qingqing then recalled that she had been hungry since that morning as she was waiting for Parker to return home. However, now that he had suffered serious injuries and was unconscious, she didn’t have much of an appetite either.

With his arms still wrapped around Bai Qingqing, Cortis glanced sideways at Vincent.

Vincent immediately said, “I’ll go hunt.”

“No need. Help me guard her,” Cortis said. She was his female, so he naturally had to feed her himself. Parker couldn’t be depended on right now, and he would rather not have food from an outsider.

Vincent nodded.

Cortis pulled away from Bai Qingqing and adjusted her animal skin clothes before slithering out of the room.

Bai Qingqing glumly sat beside Parker. Seeing that Vincent was standing in the doorway, she said to him weakly, “You can come in.”

Vincent’s heart instantly began to race as he walked into the room stiffly. The air was filled with the female’s scent, which he was completely enthralled by.

Bai Qingqing used a towel to wipe away the blood on the back of Parker’s head, and without raising her head, she asked, “How is the tiger tribe? Are they going to change their target to the leopard tribe now that Rosa has befriended the ape king?”

“Not necessarily,” Vincent said in a deep voice. “The ape king wants all the power for himself, so he’ll definitely attack the tiger tribe. Rosa’s father is being deceived. The ape king has so much authority—of course he would trust him.”

“Why?” Bai Qingqing asked in confusion. “What has the ape king done? He’s just a beastman with two animal stripes.”

Vincent glanced at Bai Qingqing and suddenly said, “You’re not from the ape tribe.”

Bai Qingqing’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly raised her head.

Vincent watched Bai Qingqing’s reaction and smiled. “Just as I thought.”
