Chapter 182: Getting Saved
Everything settled down, and only a white tiger stood firmly on the ground.
All the tiger beastmen watching the show immediately tensed up and whimpered as they backed off. Bart, who had been sent flying, quickly got back up on his feet, not daring to head forward. His eyes were filled with terror toward someone stronger as he looked at the white tiger.
Wolves were creatures who bullied the weak but feared the strong.
Parker attempted to prop up his body with his four limbs, but his two front legs trembled and he collapsed to the ground. After panting for a pit, he tried to get back up again.
Vincent threw a cold glance at the six beastmen in front of him and then jogged up to the leopard with his strong limbs. He picked the leopard up by the nape and then tossed him onto his back. He then ran off.
Bai Qingqing was focused on weaving a bamboo basket when she heard footsteps coming from the main room. She didn’t even look up and asked, “You’re back?”
“Ssss—” Cortis, seated opposite Bai Qingqing, looked toward the door, flicking out his tongue.
The sound of something dropping onto the ground rang out, followed by a deep and stable male voice. “It’s me.”
Bai Qingqing was stunned, and she raised her head in surprise. “Vincent?”
She immediately put down the bamboo basket that she was almost done with and got up to head out.
“Is anything the matter?” Bai Qingqing put on a polite smile, but she had just finished her words when she saw the leopard covered in blood. The smile on her face immediately froze up.
“Parker?” Bai Qingqing quickly ran up to the leopard, squatted down, and shook his body. She looked up at Vincent, her eyes filled with anxiety. “What happened to him?”
Right now, Bai Qingqing’s attention wasn’t on the naked male body.
Vincent stared at Bai Qingqing’s eyes for a while before saying, “He was surrounded and attacked by a few beastmen.”
“Who were they?” Bai Qingqing fumed and clenched her fists tightly. She then knelt down on the ground to listen to the leopard’s heartbeat.
Thankfully, he was still alive. However, his heartbeat was too fast and heavy. Bai Qingqing could feel the tremor with her ears. She quickly spread the leopard out, allowing his blood to flow more smoothly.
Vincent sniffed the scent in the room and said, not replying to her question, “You have too few males.”
Bai Qingqing was stunned, but she didn’t look up.
What did Vincent mean? If there were more males and they were to hunt together, they wouldn’t be bullied? At the thought of how well Vincent treated her, Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but suspect that Vincent also wanted to be her male.
Vincent seemed to notice that his words were easily misunderstood, so he said, “Let me be your guardian. I’ll sleep in the main room, and I’ll leave once Parker recovers.”
After saying that, his eyes squinted as he looked toward the bedroom’s door.
Cortis came out without a sound. The muscles on his slender body were well-proportioned and beautiful, not appearing skinny and weak at all. It was because he had a pair of gloomy but dangerous red eyes, giving off a threatening feeling that was no weaker than Vincent with his strong physique.
Cortis’s gaze only brushed past Vincent, then landed on the unconscious leopard. He headed toward them.
“How can this do?” Bai Qingqing threw a glance at Cortis, then turned back to Vincent. “It’d be too much trouble for you. There’s still Cortis to take care of me.”
Bai Qingqing said as she looked toward Cortis. However, Cortis didn’t agree with what she said. Instead, he said to Vincent, “Can.”
After all, this tiger didn’t have the intention of becoming Xiao Bai’s male, and it was true that he needed a helper to help fend off the bunch of male beastmen in the City of Beastmen who harbored ill-intentions toward Bai Qingqing while he was out hunting.
Vincent nodded toward Cortis and said, “Alright.”
