Chapter 398 Finally Found You

Due to the intense pain, just a mere few seconds of flying had taken Muir a tremendous amount of energy. He had only flown into mid-air when he suddenly fell, smashing onto a branch, and he only managed to not fall to the ground by grabbing onto the branch with his claws.

Parker immediately ran over to bite him. Muir forcibly held on and flew up a little higher again, then fell again.

This cycle continued, and the gap between the two beastmen was drawn further.

After giving chase for a while, Parker spat out the feathers in his mouth and came to a stop.

Forget it. If he continued to give chase, the peacocks would discover him. It was more important to save Qingqing.

This was the first time the prey he had caught with his mouth had managed to escape, and Parker was feeling very upset. He wiped away the feathers on his face, rubbed a layer of soil onto the blood on his body, then ran toward the peacock village with light steps.

After reaching the peacock village’s vicinity, Parker crouched his body down and moved his limbs like boat oars as he advanced forward.

He had mastered this skill during this period and was able to move in this manner without making any sound. He also tried his best to conceal himself.

That was strange. Why were there fewer peacocks on the watch?

Could it be that his absence over the past few days had taken effect? They thought that he had given up?

This might be a trap!

Parker became even more careful. Even though the surroundings were strangely quiet, he still had no intention of backing off.

If Muir were to get into the village before him, the peacocks would have their guards up. It’d only be more difficult for him to enter.

Parker was getting closer. He could smell the familiar captivating scent.

Qingqing, I’m coming. There were peacocks everywhere. Thankfully, the plants on the ground were lush enough, and Parker was able to conceal himself amongst them, successfully arriving at the massive banyan tree.

Parker scratched his claws on the ground, darting out from the bushes, and climbed up the tree in an instant.

Alva, on a branch, was stunned.

Leopard beastman! When has he gotten in?

Bai Qingqing felt the wooden house swaying intensely. She thought that Muir had brought back the “surprise” he mentioned earlier and quickly looked up.

“… Parker!” Bai Qingqing was pleasantly surprised. She was right. Parker had come.

Parker suddenly paused when he saw Bai Qingqing lying under the animal skin, looking very frail. Tears glistened in his golden eyes. “Howl—” (I’ve finally found you.] “Where’s Curtis? Didn’t he come?” Bai Qingqing wanted to get up and ask why Muir didn’t come back, but the wooden house shook intensely again. A gust of wind blew toward her, and at the next instant, Bai Qingqing was pushed down.

“Ouch! My stomach hurts.” Bai Qingqing moaned.

The leopard quickly moved his feet away, squatting on the floor, and transforming into his human figure.

“Qingqing.” Parker’s face was covered in blood, and he was a lot skinnier than before. The childishness on his face had grown fainter, and he looked more like a mature man.

“Why have you gotten slimmer? Are you sick?”

Parker’s heart ached so much that his voice trembled. Suddenly, his ears twitched warily, and he turned to look outside, baring his teeth threateningly.

A beautiful young man was standing outside. It was Alva. He looked very awkward and in hesitation outside, not getting close.

Bai Qingqing also took a look outside. She grabbed Parker’s hand and said, “Don’t be like that. They took me in.”

Sensing Parker’s body temperature, Bai Qingqing suddenly cried tears of joy. Two streams of tears trickled down her face.

Parker smiled coldly, looking at Alva with a gaze filled with despise, not intending to tell on him.

This was a battle between the males. It had nothing to do with females.

When Parker turned his head and saw her crying, his powerful disposition instantly dissipated as he anxiously wiped away her tears. “Why are you crying?”

“Why did you only come now?”

Bai Qingqing wiped her tears and stopped crying. She knew that Parker must have had a rough time on the road as well. Then, she said, “It’s good now that you’re here. Have you seen Curtis?”
