Chapter 125: The Ape King’s Motive

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the wolves left, Bai Qingqing told Parker to bring Vincent out.

“Has Vincent really gone mad?” Bai Qingqing asked worriedly as she looked at the white tiger, who seemed to be on the verge of dying. “He won’t die if we just leave him like that, right? Should we hand him over?”

“Males don’t die so easily,” Parker said as he looked at Vincent, who didn’t seem like he was going to wake up. He continued, “However, I agree that we should send him back. This is our home, after all.”

Bai Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief before saying, “It’s fine as long as he doesn’t die. He’ll stay the night here. If he still doesn’t wake up tomorrow morning, we’ll inform his family.”

“What? You’re letting him stay the night?” Parker instantly exploded and scratched the floor furiously.

Cortis glanced at Bai Qingqing, not saying a word. He then walked over to her and picked her up. “Leave him here. Let’s go to bed.”

Bai Qingqing was surprised that Cortis had given her his consent. She quickly turned to look at Parker. “Parker, add a few more thick pieces of firewood to the fire so that Vincent can warm himself up.”

Parker stood up and ran into the house. He said dismissively, “It’s not like he’s a female.”

Bai Qingqing felt helpless. She just wanted Vincent to get well and not catch a cold.

That night, Bai Qingqing slept with Cortis. She didn’t feel cold as she had animal skin wrapped around her body.

The rain poured for the whole night and showed no sign of stopping the next morning. The moment Bai Qingqing woke up, she heard Parker’s roars.

“If you’re awake, beat it. Don’t watch my female sleep.”

Vincent was awake?

Bai Qingqing’s fatigue instantly disappeared and she climbed out of Cortis’s tail. Cortis had been sleeping soundly—something he rarely got to do. He opened his transparent retinas and glanced at Bai Qingqing, then relaxed his body. When Bai Qingqing had climbed out of his tail, he coiled his body up.

“You’re finally awake,” Bai Qingqing said while rubbing her eyes as she walked into the main room.

The white tiger was staring at Parker. His fur was completely dry now, and he turned towards Bai Qingqing at the sound of her voice.

Bai Qingqing recalled Hugh telling her Vincent had gone insane, but right now, the tiger’s eyes were very clear.

Vincent stood up so that his forelimbs were upright. Bai Qingqing remembered something and had a bad feeling.

As expected, Vincent immediately transformed into a human.

This time, Bai Qingqing could clearly see the huge thing between his legs as she stood near him. Her face flushed as she averted her eyes.

“You saved me? Thank you,” Vincent said to her sincerely.

Parker quickly walked over to Bai Qingqing and used his body to block her line of sight.

Bai Qingqing quickly replied shyly, “I’m not the only one you have to thank. Parker helped you inside.”

“You’re the female. They listen to you.” Vincent insisted. His deep voice sounded feeble and lacked its previous power.

“… Okay.” Bai Qingqing could only accept that Vincent now owed her. She looked down at his shadow and asked, “Why did you pass out outside yesterday? The wolf beastmen came looking for you yesterday, and Hugh said that… you’d gone mad.”

Vincent immediately had a malicious expression in his silver eyes, which seemed especially cold.

“The ape king wants to kill me.”

Bai Qingqing was dumbfounded. She looked up at Parker and saw confusion in his eyes as well.

“That’s impossible!” Parker immediately retorted. “The ape king is the smartest person in the City of Beastmen. He has no reason to do that! He would be shooting himself in the foot. He even praised you yesterday.”

Although Parker said each word with conviction, he felt uneasy.

He never dared to trust the ape tribe too much as they were so smart that he couldn’t tell what they were thinking.

However, when Parker looked down at Bai Qingqing, his heart filled with determination once more.

Vincent smiled to himself wryly before replying in a grim voice, “That’s what makes him so clever. He praised me even though he wants to kill me. That way, when I’m dead, no one will suspect him.”
