Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 879: Scorpion King Appears (1)

Bai Qingqing was stunned, and her gaze looked up at Parker’s wound. The direction was really toward that sensitive spot. Her face instantly flushed up.

“I… You pervert!” Bai Qingqing flew into a rage from the embarrassment.

Parker smiled and slid one arm under Bai Qingqing’s both arms, hugging her with some difficulty.

“I want to rest for a while. Put the light away. Although there isn’t anyone here, it’s better to be careful.”

Bai Qingqing nodded. “En, I know.”

She hid the luminous ball into the luggage, and the hole sank completely into darkness. Bai Qingqing’s eyes, which had gotten accustomed to the light, now became blind again.

“Ahh ahh~”

An’an raised both arms and let out two cries.

Bai Qingqing carried her up, cradling her, and said, “An’an, don’t be scared. Mommy is here.”

An’an twisted her little body and struggled for a little before giving up, feeling down.

Thud—

Something seemed to have fallen onto the floor.

Bai Qingqing touched around on the floor and found a piece of jerky with saliva on it.

“Parker?”

Bai Qingqing pushed him, but the body under her palm didn’t show any reaction.

Bai Qingqing was shocked and quickly felt for Parker’s chest, only relaxing after sensing his heartbeat.

“He’s asleep so quickly?”

Bai Qingqing laid out bedding in the hole and used all of her strength to push Parker onto it. Then, she put An’an to sleep right next to him.

It was unknown how long had passed, but when Bai Qingqing woke up, it was still pitch-black outside. Parker was still deep in sleep next to her. His breathing was a lot lighter than usual.

“It seems that your injuries this time around are really serious. To think that you still lied to say that it doesn’t hurt.”

Bai Qingqing planted a kiss on Parker’s face, her eyes feeling sore. She felt like crying.

However, feeling that An’an was grabbing her, she told herself to be strong. She carried An’an up and fed her.

She had just pulled her clothes away when the sound of earth rolling suddenly rang out outside the hole.

Bai Qingqing immediately pulled her clothes in and looked outside.

“Who’s there?”

Cough cough!

A male voice that was absolutely unfamiliar to Bai Qingqing rang out outside. The voice sounded very young and had a hint of immodesty to it.

“I heard that you were looking for me?”

Bai Qingqing stared outside warily, scrambling to get the luminous ball and shining it at him.

A four-striped male walked over. He had black hair and eyes, wore a nefarious smile, and looked handsome and mysterious.

He wasn’t wearing an animal skin skirt but some kind of shell skirt that had been strung together. He also had a necklace around his neck that had a piece of rock that was pitch-black as ink. He had an exotic air to him.

In the beginning, he was filled with unwillingness. However, after seeing the appearance of the female in the hole, he was instantly surprised and walked over toward Bai Qingqing.

Bai Qingqing moved back. She was sure that she hadn’t seen this male before. However, the more she looked at him, she suddenly felt that he looked a little familiar.

Bai Qingqing shielded An’an with her arm, then asked sharply, “Who on earth are you? What do you want?”

“Shush~” The black-haired young man put up an index finger to his lip, throwing a meaningful glance at Parker behind her.

“Be softer. Don’t wake him up.”

“You are… the scorpion king?” Bai Qingqing asked probingly. The purpose of this trip was only to look for the scorpion king.

Could it be that the person who had saved her yesterday knew the scorpion king and had called him over?

The more Bai Qingqing thought, the more certain she was. After the person heard her words, he replied with an “En”, and she immediately felt that person’s attitude wasn’t right. Thinking about it, that person clearly knew the scorpion king.

“That’s me.”

The scorpion king’s gaze was stuck on Bai Qingqing’s face like super glue, his gaze seemingly material, stroking every detail on Bai Qingqing’s face.
