“At that time, your body will just be an empty shell. No matter how weak Chris is, she won’t have trouble controlling it.” Saint Zachary smiled happily.
Bai Qingqing wasn’t influenced by the guy’s cheerful laughter at all. Her body felt icy cold.
Saint Zachary looked at Bai Qingqing’s expression. When he saw that she appeared anxious, his heart ached a little for her. It was rare, but he felt a hint of kindness toward her. “I’ve tested countless times on males bodies and have obtained many empty bodies. It’s just that I was unable to find the soul crystal. If I can find yours, I’ll return you a slightly better body.”
Bai Qingqing was disgusted by his suggestion and rolled her eyes at him, saying decisively, “No need. Not everyone is as selfish as you, taking other bodies as your own. Every single body is a life.”
The reason Bai Qingqing could say this so righteously was because if they failed, her mates probably wouldn’t be able to live on either. What would be the point for her to be revived by herself? She might as well go along with them.
Saint Zachary took a long look at Bai Qingqing, neither insisting nor taking back his suggestion.
At this moment, a human figure walked out from the darkness. Bai Qingqing looked at him warily. As the figure got closer, Mitchell’s young face was revealed.
“Bai Qingqing.” A hint of joy flashed in Mitchell’s face for an instant. It was so fast that the others didn’t notice it, as it was then replaced by heavy feelings.
His father had really succeeded. Very soon, this beautiful female would become his mother.
Bai Qingqing recognized him, and her eyes gleamed brightly. She even smiled at him. Mitchell suddenly felt better.
“I’m cold.” Bai Qingqing hugged herself even tighter, looking at Mitchell with a pleading gaze. She then threw an unnoticeable glance toward the black crystal hung around his neck.
Excellent. Mitchell still had Shuu’s soul crystal hung around his neck.
Her attention was on it, and she vaguely noticed that the black crystal seemed to flash.
Mitchell was pleased by Bai Qingqing’s reliance on him and immediately said, “I’ll go look for animal skin for you.”
Mitchell’s attitude could even be said to be currying up to her. As he realized that he was going to lose her forever very soon, he was very abiding toward her.
Bai Qingqing quickly said, “No need. Bring me somewhere further away. I won’t feel that cold after leaving this place.”
Mitchell paused and then looked toward his father with an inquiring gaze.
Saint Zachary raised his brows in surprise. He thought that Bai Qingqing would sacrifice herself for the snake beastman and wouldn’t be willing to leave his side. Females were probably very scared of the cold. He didn’t think much of it and waved his hand in agreement.
Mitchell immediately carried Bai Qingqing up and headed toward the darkness in huge strides.
Bai Qingqing almost jumped when the tough body came into contact with her. Thankfully, she held back in the crucial moment, staring at the black crystal in Mitchell’s chest, trying to give herself a mental suggestion: This is Shuu, this is Shuu.
After walking for a distance, the temperature really did rise up a little. However, the temperature underground was still on the colder side.
“Sit here and don’t move. I’ll go look for some firewood and start a fire for you to get warm.” Mitchell could sense the figure in his arms shivering. He knew that she was feeling very cold. However, he was a cold-blooded animal and wasn’t able to warm her up. Therefore, he said this after putting her down.
Bai Qingqing quickly grabbed him, lifting her head and looking at the darkness from which she couldn’t even see the outline of his face. Her wide-open eyes were moistened and filled with helplessness.
“Don’t leave me behind.” Bai Qingqing did feel a little scared, but it was more from her wanting to win Mitchell’s favorable impression. After some contact with him, she realized that Mitchell was quite nice to her. If she could convince him, the chances of her escaping would be even higher.
