Chapter 187: If You Die, Qingqing Will Be Upset

“What’s the matter?” Parker raised his hand from the floor and touched his face. It was as if he had suddenly realized something and his body abruptly trembled.

He vaguely recalled that when he was forced into an impasse, his body’s shackles were suddenly removed, giving him the fierce force to have a duel with Bart.

Had he leveled up?

Parker tried to sense it. His body felt weak, and his strength wasn’t comparable to before. However, he could vaguely sense that his tolerance limits had increased, and his bloodline had become wider and sturdier.

He had really leveled up.

Bai Qingqing’s eyes were wide-open and she reached out to poke the additional animal stripe that had appeared on Parker’s face, with bewilderment all over her face. When did Parker get this animal stripe? Wasn’t he a three-striped beastman now?

Could it be that… the stripes on the beastmen’s face were the same as the animal stripes that would appear after mating with a female, in that they would appear by themselves?

How handsome!

Parker grabbed onto Bai Qingqing’s fingers, placing her entire palm against his face and rubbing against it. “So it’s over here.”

Bai Qingqing touched Parker’s face. The skin under her palm felt tight and smooth, better than many ladies in the modern world. It also beat the males in this world hands down.

She drew back her hand and said, smiling, “It’s good that you’re alright. You must be hungry.” Saying that, Bai Qingqing looked toward Curtis, feeling a little bad as she asked him, “Curtis, can you go and catch another slightly bigger prey?”

“Alright.” Curtis’s gaze landed on Parker, and his voice sounded cold. “Do you want me to help take care of them?”

Parker let out a “tsk” sound and his lips curled up. The three animal stripes on his face made him appear even more confident and arrogant. “Is there still a need for that?”

As he said that, he took Bai Qingqing’s hand and stood up. He then walked over to the wooden chest and searched for an animal skin skirt.

“Don’t get yourself killed,” Curtis said coldly and then left the house, shaking his snake tail.

Bai Qingqing felt very consoled, and patted Parker, who was putting on an animal skin skirt. She said, “We’re a family. Curtis is still concerned about you.”

We’re a family…

Parker felt sweet inside. Of course, this had nothing to do with Curtis. “He’s just afraid that I’ll die and there’s no one to cooperate with him.”

Bai Qingqing gave it some thought and realized that this did seem to be the case. Her lips twitched and she didn’t say anything.

Parker put on clothes and then walked to the main room. He threw Winston a glance, then took a whiff of the air in the room, as if he had mysophobia.

Damn it, other than the scent of a snake beastman, there was now an additional scent of a tiger in his house. However, as Winston had saved him, Parker could still tolerate Winston’s existence.

“Why are you here?” Parker sat next to the fire and asked, carefully throwing a glance at Bai Qingqing next to him.

Winston said, “I’m acting as Qingqing’s guardian.”

Hearing that, Parker felt at ease. It was fine as long as Qingqing hadn’t accepted him.

He didn’t let down his guard and wrapped his tail around Bai Qingqing’s waist, asking Winston, “Why did you save me?”

Winston looked at the two of them seated together, feeling a little suppressed. It was as if a big invisible hand was wrapped around his heart, tightening its grasp with each heartbeat.

Winston took in a breath, but that didn’t provide any relief to his suppressed feelings. He said in a deep voice, “You’re her mate. If you die, she’d be upset.”

His words made Bai Qingqing felt a little weird, and she spoke up to interrupt their conversation. “Winston, thank you. If you don’t have any place to stay, then you can stay here. It’ll be fine no matter how long you are to stay.”

Parker panicked, but Bai Qingqing then looked toward him, putting her hands to her face, trying to fawn on him. “Is that alright, Parker?”

“Hmph!” Parker snorted unwillingly. “I don’t mind as long as Curtis agrees.”

True.

Curtis was a big problem.
