Chapter 1229: Untitled

Molly felt a chill as well. To make him go away as soon as possible, she immediately said, “Qingqing wasn’t feeling well earlier, so they’ve all gone back. You should go back too.”

Curtis had already climbed to the shore. Upon hearing this, without taking another glance at them, he quickly rushed towards the City of Beastmen.

As if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders, Alva and Edgar slouched and let out the breath they had been holding in. Once a feral beast, always a feral beast, they thought. They become hostile at the drop of a hat. It’d be best not to hang out with snake beastmen in the future.

Bai Qingqing was worried beyond comprehension as she laid on Muir’s back, not daring to use an ounce of strength. When they got home, she quietly slid down onto the floor.

Then, she noticed that Muir’s black feathers seemed darker.

“What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?” Muir immediately asked upon transforming into his human form, not even stopping to put on his animal skin skirt. He hadn’t noticed the “red ribbon” on his back at all.

Bai Qingqing was nearly blinded by that streak of red. She choked on her saliva and held a hand over her chest as she coughed.

Muir quickly patted her back. Thinking that she’d fallen ill, he said, “I’ll go get Harvey right away.”

Muir then turned around and was about to run. The sharp-eyed Bai Qingqing narrowly managed to grab onto his arm.

“Don’t! Please don’t!” Bai Qingqing shouted in a booming voice. She couldn’t afford to embarrass herself like that!

Muir stopped and looked at her in confusion.

Bai Qingqing then took the opportunity to quickly wipe his back. However, the strong sunlight had already caused the blood to dry on his skin.

Muir then realized that his skin felt stiff and turned his head to look.

Bai Qingqing wasn’t fazed as she was convinced that Muir wouldn’t be able to see it and was about to continue wiping away the blood before Parker and the rest came back. To her horror, Muir turned his head 180 degrees, causing him to clearly see that streak of blood.

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

She wanted very much to scream in terror. She thought, Is he an alien? Oh, right. I almost forgot. Muir’s not human, he’s an eagle! How could I treat a beastman like a human again? Haven’t I already suffered enough by thinking that way?

Bai Qingqing covered her face with her hands, not wanting to face reality.

Muir was shocked as well. He hadn’t felt any pain, so the blood must have been Qingqing’s.

He immediately turned back to look towards her and asked, “Where are you hurt?”

Bai Qingqing only had her period last month, so Muir didn’t consider that at all. His heart ached at the thought of her losing so much blood.

“Aiyah, quickly go wash it off!” Bai Qingqing furiously grabbed Muir and dragged him to the backyard.

As Muir walked behind Bai Qingqing, he finally saw her stained skirt and lifted it.

Bai Qingqing immediately stopped in her tracks, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. She suddenly wanted to beat up someone- wait, no, some bird!

“You’re… in heat again?” Muir asked. He sounded even more alarmed than when he thought she was injured.

Bai Qingqing pulled down her skirt and continued dragging him towards the backyard. “Don’t you already know?”

“What?” Muir replied. Seeing that she wasn’t seriously hurt, he innocently followed her.

Bai Qingqing said with a sigh, “This happens every month. It’s like going into heat.”

Muir stopped in his tracks. His black pupils quickly shrank and darkened.

Frightened by his response, Bai Qingqing asked uneasily, “Do you think I’m a monster?”

Muir’s heart ached upon hearing the uneasiness in her voice. His expression softened and he petted her head. “Do you bleed every month?” he asked.
