The black eagle’s pitch-black eyes sank, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. He threw a glance at Bai Qingqing, his eyes gleaming with a hint of indiscernible emotions.
Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.
Muir received a great shock when he heard what Bai Qingqing said in the room.
He thought that Bai Qingqing was already perfect. She was so beautiful, gentle, understanding… She was so perfect that she could feel at ease to enjoy the best care in this world without having to pay any price for it. Everyone should offer her everything she wanted, and he was just one of them.
Only today did Muir realize that his understanding of her was far from enough. Bai Qingqing was far more wonderful than he imagined, so wonderful that it made others want to hold her in their palms, crush fiercely, then swallow her up, forever having her for themselves!
Muir’s heart felt like sharp claws were tearing at it, feeling great pain to see how there was such a wonderful female, but he didn’t have the right to stay by her side or be able to enjoy the slightest bit of how great she was.
At this moment, a crazy thought rose in Muir’s heart: If I can get a part of her love, get a status of being her mate, even if it’s just for one second, I’m willing to give up everything.
Bai Qingqing recognized Muir at first glance. When she saw his emotion-filled eyes, how could she not tell his feelings for her?
“I know that you still love me, but I’m sorry, I can’t return your feelings. I couldn’t do that in the past, and all the more I can’t do that now. You’re still hurt and can’t help us. Quickly leave. You’re not my mate, so you can still get away. Don’t let me end up dragging you into this,” Bai Qingqing said solemnly, then ran past him, her back view emitting determination.
Muir turned and looked at her departing back view, and an indestructible belief gleamed in his eyes.
Bai Qingqing quickly climbed to the top floor. What was Curtis doing? Would he be annoyed to be consecutively summoned? Sigh, this might be the last time she did it. He should be able to understand.
Bai Qingqing climbed to the top and saw that a huge scorpion had already arrived outside the courtyard. As if noticing her glance, the pair of eyes on his back looked straight up.
Bai Qingqing looked back at him without any fear, gave him a challenging smile, then raised one leg over the corridor and leaped off.
The huge scorpion’s body shook, as if not expecting that she would do this. He was completely stunned, and he stared at the white figure in the sky.
The young lady was in midair and would land in an instant.
This female was very beautiful, her beauty not beneath Chris’s. However, it wasn’t that she was irreplaceable. The reason Saint Zachary was so obstinate about her was partly that he had an indescribable good impression toward this female’s male.
However, at this moment, she was forced to her wits’ end.
Saint Zachary had never felt so helpless despite having faced so many failures before.
However, at the next instant, an unbelievable scene took place. As her dress fluttered in the wind, a piercing black and red snake figure suddenly appeared in the air, instantly protecting the young lady, then went into the forest in the courtyard.
Saint Zachary was stunned for a moment before being struck by a realization. It was spousal mark protection. He had a mate before, yet he didn’t know about this. He was such a failure.
After a pause, Saint Zachary rapidly crawled toward the stone castle.
Curtis had long noticed Saint Zachary outside when he was in the air. He helped Bai Qingqing up while remaining composed, quickly assessing her.
Seeing that Bai Qingqing was fine, Curtis then kissed her face to console her, then brought her into the room to get shelter from the rain.
