The vibrant snake tattoo on Bai Qingqing’s ankle pierced Muir’s eyes.
Curtis hasn’t died?
He had come to the peacock village to visit Bai Qingqing precisely because he was afraid that she would be devastated by Curtis’s death. Seeing that she didn’t show much of a reaction, he had secretly felt happy. He hadn’t imagined that Curtis hadn’t died.
How was it possible? He had already scrutinized the mountain. Just in case, he had even set fire to every cave he could find on the mountain, before going in to examine. But he didn’t find Curtis anywhere.

As for the surface of the mountain, everything had burned. Although he didn’t manage to find the snake beastman’s corpse, even his bones might have been reduced to ashes, seeing as how not much had remained of that group of eagle beastmen. If Curtis was outside, how could he still be alive?

Even if Curtis managed to escape from the mountain, he should be coming after his life. Yet, he didn’t appear to be making a move.
Muir’s gaze turned stern, and when he looked towards Bai Qingqing there was restraint in his eyes.
“I need to attend to something, I’ll come back to visit you later.”
Curtis must still be on the mountain. Perhaps he’s severely injured. I must go back and strike him with one last blow.
“Eh, wait a minute.”
Muir had just gotten to his feet when Bai Qingqing grabbed his hand.
Bai Qingqing, still in shock, said as she gazed at Muir, “Did you see Curtis? He should be in the vicinity.” Sensing her fair hand on his, there was this fleeting moment when Muir couldn’t bear it. However, he quickly toughened up his heart and pulled her hand away heartlessly. In a gentle voice, he said, “No. I’ll go and deal with the eagle beastmen’s corpses. Be back shortly.”
With that, he transformed into an eagle and flew away.
Bai Qingqing chased to the door and watched as Muir left, a doubt rising in her heart.
Why did Muir suddenly leave? Is it really to handle the corpses? Didn’t he take care of it before he came back?
