In the beginning, Muir didn’t believe it, but he soon felt worried after seeing Bai Qingqing’s painful expression. Winston immediately came over and checked her arm.
A purplish-red mark appeared on her snow-white skin, quickly turning into a blue-black. The center where she had been pecked at even been scraped, emitting a trace of blood.
Muir stiffened and looked at the wound in disbelief.
He had tried to control his strength when he pecked her.
Winston’s brows furrowed tightly together and he said to Muir in a deep voice, “A female’s body can’t be compared to a male’s. You used too much strength on her.”
He felt that things weren’t good when he was watching from the side. After checking, it turned out to be more serious than he had imagined. It was inevitable that he felt a hint of fury toward Muir.
Muir lowered his head reproachfully. “Coo-coo.”
Bai Qingqing rubbed her arm and said, unconcerned, “It’s fine. Just let me have a look at the eggs.”
Muir’s body shook a little, but he still refused to budge.
Winston was the one to speak up, his tone sounding a little helpless as he rubbed Bai Qingqing’s head. “Mischievous.”
She immediately glared at him, looking hurt.
This was the first time Winston went against her wishes. Bai Qingqing felt aggrieved.
“Although I’m not an eagle beastman, I know that if the incubation stops midway, the eggs will spoil,” Winston explained and gently massaged Bai Qingqing’s bruise. “Don’t be willful. You’ll still be able to see the eggshells after they’ve hatched.”
“Huh?” Bai Qingqing panicked for an instant, then immediately shook her head, saying, “Then I won’t look.”
It was just that looking at the eggshells… She suddenly felt very pitiful.
Muir’s body relaxed, and he threw a thankful gaze at Winston. However, Winston paid him no heed and continued to rub his mate’s arm, emitting a hint of repulse toward Muir.
From then on, Bai Qingqing didn’t even dare to touch the eggs secretly, for fear that they might spoil. She felt bored and lay in the nest for a while before gradually falling asleep.
After this childbirth, Bai Qingqing recuperated for three days, but her stomach still ached a little. However, she could already put on her clothes and walk around in the room.
Three days later, Parker finally returned with a roll of semi-processed animal skin.
“Qingqing, I’m back!”
Before Bai Qingqing could see him, she had already heard his voice. She looked up toward the door, wanting to get up.
At the next instant, a young and agile figure pushed through the door curtains but paused at the very next instant.
Parker’s golden pupils widened slightly, saying with a hint of surprise, “You’ve given birth?”
The blood stench in the bedroom was already gone, but the warm air, his weak mate, and the eagle beastman squatting on his nest all came together to give him this information.
Bai Qingqing nodded and beckoned toward him. “Come quickly. I’m almost dying of boredom.”
Parker ran over quickly, touching his mate’s stomach that had already returned to being flat. He grinned. “You’ve really given birth. We can play freely again in the future.”
Bai Qingqing smiled and poked him, asking, “Did you manage to find animal skin?”
“Of course.” Parker’s brows raised and he said confidently, gesturing as he threw a glance outside. “They’re being aired out in the courtyard. They’ve been tanned and can be used after they are dried.”
Bai Qingqing was also looking forward to wearing new clothes. She then said, “Help me bring paper and charcoal over. I haven’t been drawing these few days and am losing my touch.”
“Alright.” Parker smiled as he got up. Before he left, he threw Muir a glance, having mixed feelings of satisfaction and pity.
He was satisfied that Curtis was shot down. The eggs turned out to be Muir’s in the end. Look, he was already hatching them. It was just a pity that he wasn’t able to see Curtis’s expression for himself. It’d definitely have been interesting.
Hmph! The reason he went to hibernate so early must be because he couldn’t bear to face this. Hahahaha!
