An enemy’s enemy was a friend. Moreover, Bai Qingqing couldn’t stand how Rosa humiliated Vincent. Hence, she decided to take Vincent away with her. Vincent said nothing and obediently followed her.
Staring at their back views as they left, Rosa was left in shock. Someone actually wants Vincent?
This female again. She’s already snatched two males from me! Abominable!
When they got some distance away from Rosa, Bai Qingqing quickly released her grip on Vincent’s arm. She twirled her two index fingers together for a while, then said in an embarrassed manner, “I was lying to Rosa just now, don’t take it to heart.”
“I know.”
The unfamiliar male voice could be heard above Bai Qingqing’s head, deep and full of masculine charm.
Bai Qingqing’s heartbeat got messed up. Suppressing her nervous feelings, she said, “That’s great.”
The two of them walked side by side in the mist. Next to them, the bonfire cast a faint orange-red glow through the mist. Vincent lowered his head, and in his eyes, he could only see the petite female walking alongside him.
“This is for you.”
“Mm?” Bai Qingqing looked up. A chilly and tough thing was stuffed into her mouth—it was like a piece of tasteless rock sugar.
Vincent’s finger was in her mouth too. As he pushed into her mouth with his rough finger, Bai Qingqing involuntarily swallowed that thing into her tummy.
“What did you just feed me?” Bai Qingqing looked terrified, placing a hand over her throat.
That thing was solid and hard when it was in her mouth, but when it entered her throat, it was smooth and pure like wine and was rapidly digested as it entered her esophagus. Finally, it melted into a warm current, and by the time it entered her stomach, she could no longer feel its shape, merely a warm current. Then, that sensation spread out in her limbs, making her feel so comfortable she had an urge to moan.
“… Green crystal,” Vincent said after a halt.
Bai Qingqing widened her eyes.
Didn’t Vincent say he had eaten it? So he was just testing Rosa? If she hadn’t interrupted them earlier, Vincent might perhaps have given it to Rosa. After all, it gave him hopes of becoming mates with someone.
But why did he give it to her?
Without waiting for Bai Qingqing to ask, Vincent said, “There’s no one for me to give it to, anyway. So I’m giving it to you. Consider it remuneration for helping me out of that situation just now.”
Bai Qingqing opened her mouth, but no words came out. She merely thought to herself, This male is so silly.
“Xiao Bai!” Cortis’s voice came ringing from the side. Amidst the mist, Cortis’ long and slim figure could gradually be seen. He extended a hand to Bai Qingqing.
“Cortis!” Bai Qingqing called out in delight and grabbed his hand. “I went to the sandpit earlier, then I lost my way.”
“Mm.” Cortis hugged Bai Qingqing tightly. Then, after releasing her, he held her up by the waist before raising his head to scrutinize the tiger beastman by the side.
Bai Qingqing also looked towards Vincent. He has given me the precious green crystal. How am I supposed to repay him?
At this banquet, each female occupied one bonfire. Bai Qingqing guessed that Vincent wouldn’t have anywhere to go, so she extended an invitation to him out of politeness. “There’s a lot of space on our side. Do you want to come with us?”
Upon hearing this, Cortis’s eyes narrowed into dangerous slits, gazing at Vincent with an intense murderous aura.
Under the gaze of that four-striped beastman, Vincent nodded his head gently and replied with a one-syllable word, “Okay.”
Bai Qingqing instantly felt Cortis’s arms tighten around her, making her feel pain. However, she couldn’t very well explain things in Vincent’s presence, so she merely laid her petite hand over the cold back of Cortis’s hand and said nothing.
On the way back to the bonfire, they ran into Parker. It drove Parker crazy to see Vincent with her.
He was just feeling guarded against this tiger and hadn’t expected Qingqing to so quickly take a fancy to him. It was too careless of him.
