Beauty and the Beasts

Bai Qingqing consoled Left while looking inside. “Right, hurry and come out too!”

“Screech~” Left let out a cry.

Bai Qingqing didn’t understand bird language. In human form, Muir’s countenance changed drastically, and he hurried over to the stone cliff to look down.

Bai Qingqing’s heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale, and she asked with a quivering voice, “Right fell?”

His mate’s panicked voice was like a sharp blade slashing Muir’s heart. He didn’t even dare to look back at her. He felt worried for the child and also too ashamed to see his mate.

“I’ll go down and check.” Muir didn’t look back. He forced himself to remain calm and turned back into his beast form, rapidly flying down.

His speed was a lot faster than the necrophagous eagles, his pitch-black figure flashing past like a shooting star, entering the fog in the blink of an eye.

The moment Muir left, Left started to feel uneasy. Bai Qingqing had no time to feel sad and quickly hugged Left to console him.

“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. This is Mommy’s mate. He won’t hurt you.” Bai Qingqing kept on stroking Left’s feathers, causing him to finally stop struggling.

Parker also touched Left’s feathers but was pecked by him. He didn’t feel angry but said worriedly, “Can the little eagle fly now?”

It was probably over if he fell from such a great height. Moreover, the one who fell was the stronger one. With his powerful blood lineage, he’d definitely display exceptional capabilities in the future. It’d be a pity if he were to die.

Bai Qingqing lowered her eyes, looked at the bird in her arms, then suddenly stood up.

“Left, come and show Mommy how you fly.” Bai Qingqing coaxed softly, but her tone left no room for doubt. After saying that, she picked up Left with one hand, indicating for him to jump off.

“Screech~” Left’s weight sank in. He grabbed onto his Mommy’s hand, refusing to move.

Bai Qingqing tried to shake her hand, but Left shook together with her. His weight wasn’t light, being at about 10 kg. Bai Qingqing’s arm felt sore after persisting for a few seconds, and she changed to holding him up with both hands.

“Good boy, Mommy is begging you, try to fly.”

Left’s eyes showed a hint of hesitation. He lowered his head to take a look. Seeing that it wasn’t very high, he carefully spread his wings and suddenly had the desire to fly.

The moment he moved, he lost his balance and almost fell off. He only managed to stabilize himself after flapping his wings a few times.

Bai Qingqing held up her stiffened arms steadily and encouraged him in a soft voice, “Left, go for it.”

Left’s eyes turned back for a moment. To not disappoint his mommy, he kicked his legs and jumped down.

Pffft pfft pfft!

Left’s wings flapped three times and then he fell onto the ground.

It must have hurt, so he toppled over and kicked his yellow claws up. His yellow beak that had a black spot opened and closed as he cried out, “Screech screech screech~ Screech screech screech~”

Bai Qingqing quickly went to hold him, but her eyes suddenly felt sore. Before she grabbed Left, two drops of tears landed on the ground.

She had wanted to console Left but suddenly became quiet. Holding in their grief expended too much energy.

Bai Qingqing hugged Left as tears slowly fell from her eyes. Parker walked over to hug her, patting her shoulder and saying, “It’ll be fine. I remember there’s a patch of grass at the bottom. It’ll cushion the fall.”

Bai Qingqing’s eyes lit up a little, and she nodded hopefully.

Muir flew down the cliff and saw the traces on the grass at one glance. He immediately went over to check.

He had already seen traces of the fall. However, after he got close, he saw a few feathers. The yellow feathers had a hint of black spots. They did belong to Right.

Muir’s heart that was about to settle down felt uneasy again. He picked up the feathers and searched around anxiously.
