Beauty and the Beasts

“It’s Winston’s. You can put it on first.”

At the instant the animal skin skirt was passed to him, Muir heard the sound of his intense heartbeat. “Ba-thump— Ba-thump—” It was beating with such great intensity that he almost clutched at his chest for fear that his heart might pop out.

When females gave a male an animal skin skirt, it was usually a gesture of them liking the male. Even the males that were accepted by the female might not necessarily have such honor.

He knew that Bai Qingqing was kindhearted and had just wanted to give him a piece of clothing to cover himself with. However, his heart still palpitated at the thought of those unmentioned customs.

Muir’s heart calmed down a little after hearing Bai Qingqing’s explanation. However, it was still a lot quicker than usual. He quickly received the animal skin skirt from her, appearing a little constrained.

Bai Qingqing knew nothing about Muir’s thoughts. She came from the modern world, and there was no way that she could accept seeing someone going around n*ked. Muir, and even Winston, both had a great misunderstanding.

She’d be able to hand over an animal skin skirt when communicating with a stranger, or even an enemy, let alone someone she knew.

Muir’s right arm couldn’t move well, and it was especially hard for him to put on the animal skin skirt. Having the female he loved in front of him made him appear even more embarrassed. However, it gave him a hint of vitality, making his dying aura a lot fainter.

Bai Qingqing assessed Muir’s right arm for a bit before saying after he was done putting on the animal skin skirt, “I’ll bring you to a place for you to stay. It has been cleaned up.”

“Alright,” Muir replied with a deep voice, then followed behind her. Although he had a burly figure, he had the looks of a bodyguard. However, his attitude had a faint hint of a submissive wife.

Thankfully, Bai Qingqing walked in front, not realizing this astonishing scene.

After bringing him to the tree hole, Bai Qingqing hesitated for a moment before leaving. In the end, she still couldn’t help but ask, “Your arm… can it still be treated?”

Muir shook his head, feeling numb. Bai Qingqing’s heart wrenched up, and then she heard him say, “I don’t know.”

Since he didn’t know, this meant that there was still hope. Bai Qingqing heaved out a breath, asking while feeling perplexed, “How would you not know when it’s your own body? You didn’t seek treatment from a doctor?”

Muir continued to shake his head. “No.”

He didn’t even want to live, so why would he care for an arm?

However, he wanted to protect Bai Qingqing now. If his arm could still be treated, he hoped that it could be treated.

Bai Qingqing didn’t know what she should say about him. If this happened to any of her mates, she’d beat them to death.

She glared at Muir, suppressing her fury as she said, “Follow me!”

Muir didn’t ask anything and just followed her honestly.

Following behind her and smelling her faint body fragrance was something that he enjoyed the most currently.

Bai Qingqing brought Muir to Harvey’s wooden house, walked to the door, and knocked on it. “Harvey, are you in?”

There were now a few doctors in the village, but none of them were as good as Harvey. It was clear just from the fact that he could recognize the most number of medicinal herbs.

“I am!” Almost at the instant Bai Qingqing’s last note ended, a warm male voice rang out from inside.

Muir instantly raised his guard. This person must definitely have feelings for Qingqing to be so eager.

At the next second, Muir realized that he didn’t have the right to be wary. Any male could woo Qingqing. He was the only one who couldn’t. What right did he have to stop others?

Harvey walked out quickly. When he saw the expressionless fiend standing behind Bai Qingqing, he was given a shock. This guy didn’t have any animal stripes on his face, but he had such a strong disposition, so he was definitely not an ordinary beastman.

Could it be… that his level was higher than a four-striped beastman like Curtis?
