Beauty and the Beasts

Just now, that tiger seemed to have been looking at Bai Qingqing with a concerned gaze. Or was he imagining things?

Also, why did three ferocious beasts suddenly gather in the forest? And to think they didn’t get into a fight, too.

Piecing together the various weird phenomenons, a creepy speculation arose in Zhang Xin’s heart: Could Bai Qingqing be a mountain demon?

Looking at Bai Qingqing, she looked so relaxed after the wild beasts ran off.

Noticing his gaze, Bai Qingqing looked at him and said feebly, “Let’s get into the car.”

Hearing the familiar voice, that bizarre suspicion in Zhang Xin’s heart immediately dispelled and he hurriedly said, “Mm, you should rest in the car for a while.”

The few police cars were each stuffed with one or two corpses. Amid the bloody stench, the fleet of cars drove back to the city.

After conducting an autopsy, the medical examiner discovered saliva in the deceased’s corpses, and also fatal venom.

This was an unknown venom, and preliminary analysis determined it to be snake venom. This type of venom was even more lethal than any snake venom recorded in the medical world.

The discovery of the venom caused a small commotion in the medical world. After finding out the source of that snake venom, many researchers headed to that forest to search, but their efforts were in vain.

As for the fatalities, due to the involvement of wild animals, it was deemed to be an accident.

This would all happen in the future, so let’s just leave it for now.

That night, when Bai Qingqing returned to the school, she called her parents to inform them she was safe. Of course, she was inevitably given a fierce scolding over the phone.

The school’s management and her form teacher knew about Bai Qingqing’s encounter. Seeing that she looked too pale, she was excused from the nighttime revision and allowed to rest in her dorm room by herself.

As Bai Qingqing had pretty much vomited out everything she had eaten today, she was just feeling hungry when her dorm room door was suddenly pushed open.

“Who’s that?”

After the kidnapping, Bai Qingqing’s nerves were still highly strung and she instantly sat up.

“It’s me.” Parker’s voice rang in the darkness.

Bai Qingqing relaxed and turned on her torchlight. Parker was carrying a lunchbox and striding towards her.

Bai Qingqing gulped her saliva. “You came at the right moment. I was just starving…”

Parker climbed onto her bed, then set down the lunchbox and hugged her tightly. Bai Qingqing’s voice stuck in her throat.

Parker sniffed her body and, after letting go of her, sized her up. “You’re injured!”

“It’s just some scratches. I’m hungry, quickly let me eat.” Bai Qingqing forcibly perked herself up and said.

With a pained look, Parker licked the wounds on her face. Those spots had basically healed after Winston and Curtis licked them, and only two faint traces remained.

Bai Qingqing anxiously opened the lunchbox, but because her arms and legs were weak, she kept trembling. Parker quickly helped her open it, then pierced a fork into the food and fed it to her.

“I’ll feed you.”

Bai Qingqing smiled and stopped insisting. She leaned against the wall and obediently was fed.

“Why are you here only now?” Bai Qingqing said in a slightly aggrieved tone as she chewed the food. “I was going to see you…”

Parker’s hand halted, and he pursed his lips in frustration. Only after a while did he say in a glum voice, “I was practicing dancing. Muir called me, but my phone was with my assistant and he didn’t give it to me. When I sensed you using my powers, I ran to find you. On the way there, I saw you in the police car. That’s why I didn’t come out.”

“I see.” Bai Qingqing understood. “It’s fine. Your work is more important.”

Parker felt even more upset now. He squeezed towards her and put her on his lap, only then did he feel more at ease.

Suddenly recalling something, he asked, “Why were you looking for me?”
