Winston instantly knew that Bai Qingqing had fallen ill, so he transformed into a human and said, “The temperature here is low. Let’s go out.”

“That was what we were planning on doing.”

Curtis and Winston unanimously agreed on the next course of action.

They wrapped Bai Qingqing and An’an firmly, like spring rolls, and Curtis was in charge of carrying them. Winston, on the other hand, was responsible for carrying the unconscious Parker.

The duo split up the luggage and walked out of the mine shaft together.

The two beastmen heavily loaded with luggage turned plenty of heads as they walked on the road.

The four porcelain jars wrapped in animal skin made gurgling sounds as the water swirled within, arousing the thirst in countless beastmen.

Seeing that Winston was a four-striped beastman, several three-striped beastmen surrounded them in groups.

However, before Winston even had to lift a finger, the snake beastman carrying a bundle of “animal skins” shook his tail and broke their encirclement, before walking out grandly.

They ran into such situations several times on the road. Some days later, they finally arrived at the entrance of the grave pit.

It seemed like the scorpion king had given instructions to his tribe, for this time no one blocked Curtis’s, or even Parker’s way. They smoothly exited the underground palace.

The scorching hot sunshine seeped in through the cracks in the animal skin. Bai Qingqing narrowed her eyes, which were watering due to the heat.

Ah! Finally out of there!

She felt like she was going to die!

Bai Qingqing inhaled big breaths of fresh air. God only knows how much she yearned to lie down and have a good rest on the way; she merely didn’t say it out loud because the males were eager to push on.

However, she had no idea that the reason Winston and Curtis were in such a great rush, was only because she was ill.

Now that the animal skin wrapped around her body was opened, the dry and hot air instantly enveloped her.

“Do you feel better?” Curtis gazed at Bai Qingqing worriedly.

Bai Qingqing looked more wan and sallow after these few days of torment. As a result, An’an wasn’t fed properly these two days.

“Mm.” Unable to open her eyes, Bai Qingqing buried her chest in Curtis’s chest and covered An’an’s eyes as well.

Seeing that her condition hadn’t improved, the two males got anxious. After they exchanged a glance, Curtis said, “Let’s go to the oasis.”

“Okay!”

Bai Qingqing hadn’t taken a proper bath these few days, so her body was rather filthy. But still, it was much cleaner compared to the captured females. With her fair and youthful skin, even if her face wasn’t revealed, she still attracted the gazes of countless pairs of eyes.

As the scorpion beastmen were bound by duty, they didn’t dare to act recklessly. But when they encountered rootless beasts, things got chaotic.

After Curtis whipped a few beastmen to death with his tail, Bai Qingqing covered herself entirely with the animal skin, and the chaos finally stopped.

The entourage left Flame City and headed straight for the oasis.

On the top level of the stone castle by the window, there stood a youth with black hair draped over his shoulders, whose lips were arched in a treacherous smile.

Just as he was feeling vexed over how to get his father to help, to think they would actually show up themselves.

Seemed like this female was destined to be his.

Mitchell chortled, then transformed into a beast and rushed towards the oasis.

…

In the center of the oasis, there was a shallow lake surrounded by a ring of small trees. The surface of the lake was completely exposed under the sun, piercing one’s eyes as the light rays reflected off of it.

Bai Qingqing came back to life the instant she saw water. Pumped up with energy, she struggled to get down.

“I want to bathe!”

Seeing that their spouse had regained her energy, Curtis and Winston heaved a sigh of relief in unison.

The lake water had turned into a hot spring in the sweltering heat. Soaked in water, Bai Qingqing swam and drank water at the same time.

“I hadn’t imagined there would be such a marvelous place in the vicinity of Flame City. How could no one have discovered this place?” Bai Qingqing drank till she was full, then laid on a rock to enjoy the sunshine and disinfect.
