Chapter 259 - Is It Only Rosa? (1/2)

Bai Qingqing halted in her actions. “Is it only Rosa? How did this poison come about?”

Shuu merely smiled at Bai Qingqing. His eyes were slowly going out of focus as he looked towards Curtis, before shifting his gaze to Parker, and finally to Muir. “Protect her… never… ever leave her…”

“Don’t speak, you’ll be fine!” Bai Qingqing said stubbornly as she continued to massage Shuu’s body.

When the ape king arrived with his men, he glanced briefly at the tiger limbs strewn all over the ground, before walking towards Bai Qingqing and her company. “What happened?”

As though she didn’t hear him, Bai Qingqing was half-knelt on the ground massaging Shuu, her tears falling relentlessly upon his body.

Shuu’s condition didn’t turn for the better. He had his mouth wide open, yet he couldn’t take in enough oxygen to satisfy his oxygen-deficient body. His eyes were wide open as well, but it looked as though he could no longer see anything. Only that hand of his tightly gripping Bai Qingqing’s clothes revealed his will to live.

Parker couldn’t bear to see Bai Qingqing in that state, so he squatted down as well. “Let me.”

“Be gentler,” Bai Qingqing said in a choked voice.

A beastman reported to the ape king what just happened. The ape king huffed and said, “Those tiger beastmen deserved to die. How dare they try to kill a female!”

The ape king walked to Bai Qingqing’s side. After taking a look at Shuu’s condition, he said painfully, “Don’t be upset. It’s his honor to be able to die for you. He must be feeling blissful right now.”

With a teary face, Bai Qingqing looked up at the ape king. She didn’t wish to waste her breath with him and merely said, “Save him!”

The ape king sighed deeply. “It’s too late.”

The wolf king was gazing at his son, and the grief on his face didn’t look like a pretense. Yet he said nothing.

It was clear to those present that this wolf beastman could no longer be saved.
