Second and Third finished their short-winged birds in no time, but the pitiful Eldest—who had caught a porcupine-like animal, merely attempted a few bites, and his nose and mouth were covered with spikes. Never mind the fact that he didn’t even manage to eat a mouthful of meat, the blood he now tasted in his mouth even belonged to himself.
At the start, Bai Qingqing had thought that those spikes merely pricked Eldest’s hands, and it was only upon seeing his bloody mouth that she sensed something wasn’t right.
“Eldest?”
Bai Qingqing held up her skirt and walked towards him.
Eldest raised his head at his mommy, his yellowish-orange eyes brimming with a layer of tears, looking incredibly pitiful.
Bai Qingqing felt painful by the mere sight of it. Squatting down by his side, she hurriedly removed the spikes for him. “Are you silly? Why did you carry on eating it when it’s making your mouth bleed? Weren’t you fed at home?”
“Ooh ooh~”
Eldest rubbed the top of his head against her hand and shook his tail, clearly in a good mood.
“You don’t remember your lesson!” Bai Qingqing smacked Eldest’s buttocks with a displeased expression. “You’re not to eat such stuff in the future, okay? Even if you’re going to eat it, you can only try when you’ve grown up.”
Roar! Eldest responded, before casting one final look at the spiky animal.
Seeing that it wasn’t being attacked anymore, the spiky animal revealed its short limbs and ran away.
Howl—
From the front came a soft, long, and sorrowful howl of an animal. Shortly after, another howl sounded.
“Is there a wolf around?” The howl of a wolf always sounded sorrowful.
Bai Qingqing glanced in the direction of the source of the sound and pulled Eldest—who happened to be nearest to her—over and stroked him as she held him in his arms.
Parker frowned. After a pause, he said, “It’s Edgar.”
The worry that finally dissipated from Bai Qingqing’s face showed at her brows again.
“What’s he doing?”
