Chapter 255 - Kill Bai Qingqing (2/2)
Bai Qingqing looked at Shuu’s departing back view and heaved a sigh of relief. She turned and looked back toward the big tree, still having the feeling that she seemed to have seen it before.
She looked up and her gaze met a pair of sharp eyes in the sky by chance. A black eagle was standing on top of a certain stone castle.
Eagle beastmen were all lofty, and Bai Qingqing didn’t think too much about it. She went through the door and Parker, who was seated in the main hall, looked toward Bai Qingqing. He had clearly heard the conversation between her and Shuu and seemed to be very angry.
Bai Qingqing smiled a little guiltily, trying to mime the words to say, “Pay attention.” She then slipped out toward the corridors.
…
Shuu asked around until he found where the ape king was. He was about to knock on the door and enter when he overheard something shocking.
“Are we really going to kill Bai Qingqing?” It was the wolf king’s voice.
Shuu’s eyes became wide-open, and he held his breathing.
“I’m not the one killing her, it’s Rosa. Remember, we don’t know anything. We only retracted the guards from the wolf tribe in the castle.” The ape king’s voice was very cold, unlike what he had shown to others before. If it wasn’t because Shuu was very familiar with his voice, he wouldn’t believe that it belonged to the ape castle, the one who was revered by all the beastmen.
To retract all the guards… Qingqing!
Shuu’s breathing became more intense, and he turned to run back.
“Who’s there?” As the ape king’s voice rang out, the door opened by itself with a “bang”. As it opened with too great a force, it slammed against the door, swinging back to and fro for a few times. However, the person who opened the door was nowhere to be seen.
Only then did the wolf king realize that someone had passed by. His nose twitched and he let out a breath. “It’s Shuu.”
The ape king said, “Quickly go and stop him. We mustn’t allow him to divulge our plan.”
“Yes.”
