Chapter 374: Earthquake
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Muir brought Bai Qingqing back to the wooden house. When he was about to leave, she said, “There aren’t any eagle beastmen around now. Keep an eye on the ground for me and check if Curtis is here yet.”
Muir said in his usual tone, “Okay, I’ll keep an eye out when looking for food.”
When he left, Bai Qingqing turned away from the entrance and massaged her chest.
It’s so swollen. Am I really lactating?
Bai Qingqing then felt her chest become a little moist. Stunned, she removed her clothes and found white liquid on her skin.
Bai Qingqing was speechless.
She faintly blushed and gently cleaned it off, afraid that she would squeeze out more milk if she used too much force.
In less than two hours, Bai Qingqing realized that she had worried too much. After she had accepted this reality, she couldn’t help but squeeze her chest out of curiosity. That incident was merely a coincidence, as no weird stuff came out no matter how much she squeezed her chest.
“Heehee…”
Bai Qingqing chuckled as she held onto her sore chest. Then, she suddenly felt the wooden house shake slightly.
The vibrations were very consistent. They didn’t seem like the footsteps of a beastman, or the wind causing tree branches to sway in the wind.
Bai Qingqing looked outside curiously. There wasn’t a single soul on the branches.
That’s weird. Why is the house shaking?
Bai Qingqing vaguely thought of the answer and the expression on her face suddenly changed. She climbed out of the house and glanced at the tree roots.
The tree roots hadn’t been shaken.
Was it an earthquake?
The peacock beastmen all sensed it and quickly flew out of their nests, bringing their mates and baby birds with them.
The baby birds chirped unhappily. It suddenly became abnormally noisy outside as if she had fallen into a hen’s nest.
Bai Qingqing’s face paled and her mind was filled with images of the ape king appearing. Her heart raced and her body shook violently.
Was she really a person who brought disaster with her wherever she went?
The beastmen here were all birds, so there were unlikely to be countless deaths like she imagined. She was the one who brought this upon them.
She couldn’t help but worry if other natural disasters would befall them in the future.
What should she do? Run away to a place where no one could find her?
Bai Qingqing’s eyes widened as large tears rolled down her cheeks. Was dying the right thing to do, after all?
I want to go home. I miss Mom and Dad so much. Even her brother, who she never saw eye to eye with, seemed kinder in her mind.
Bai Qingqing didn’t realize that a peacock was still perched atop a tree and staring at her.
The ground shook. Bai Qingqing’s all alone. Should I go down to protect her?
But all the beautiful feathers on his body were gone. If Bai Qingqing saw him like this, she would definitely dislike him even more.
Alva was faced with a dilemma.
“Screech—”
A screech could be clearly heard from above as a black eagle flew towards a large tree.
“Muir!” Bai Qingqing looked up at him with the hope of a drowning person who had just found a straw to clutch at.
Muir rested beside Bai Qingqing as he transformed into his human form and hugged her tightly.
Bai Qingqing threw herself into Muir’s tight embrace, her grievances rising to the surface. She hugged him back tightly as she buried her face into his chest and cried.
She didn’t choose to come to this world. Why did she end up becoming a jinx? If she had a choice, she wouldn’t… even come here in the first place.
Bai Qingqing swallowed back the words in her heart when she thought about Curtis and Parker and only cried harder and more helplessly.
Muir’s heart ached as he held the shaking Bai Qingqing. He hugged her even tighter and gently comforted her. “Don’t cry. I’ll protect you. Don’t cry.”
