Howl~

The foolish dog that had long been tamed by humans awakened its last bit of alertness under the gaze of a killer from the forest. It let out a howl and ran off.

A series of thuds rang out in the living room and quickly returned to silence. Furry’s massive body was hidden somewhere, and they weren’t able to find him.

Bai Xiaofan found this scene strange. Even though this guy’s expression seemed normal when looking at him, he still couldn’t feel assured.

Just as Bai Qingqing and Curtis were planning to leave, Bai Xiaofan suddenly followed them with the keys, running to the door. “Where are you guys going to play? I want to go, too!”

Given how stupid his sister was, he didn’t want her to be sold off.

However, Bai Qingqing didn’t appreciate his kindness. She hooked her arm around Curtis’s and said, “We’re going on a date. Are you going there to be a gooseberry? Go find your friends to play with. I’ll bring you some food when I come back tonight.”

“You’re only coming back at night?” Bai Xiaofan wore a disapproving expression.

Bai Qingqing threw him a strange glance. Why was her brother so long-winded today?

“Alright, goodbye.” Bai Qingqing pulled Curtis and walked out of the house, keeping Bai Xiaofan in the house.

The two of them walked on the district’s street. Bai Qingqing said in disbelief, “It seems that Bai Xiaofan likes you a lot. To think that he’s willing to come along with me to play.”

Curtis turned back, took a look at the house belonging to his mate’s parents, and said, “He’s rejecting me. He’s very alert.”

“Hmm?” Bai Qingqing didn’t really believe that. “He’s just a kid. Even your colleagues didn’t notice any abnormalities, so why would he be alert against you?”

Moreover, Curtis was considered to be very friendly toward Xiaofan. When had he ever shown a good impression toward others?

“That’s because the ones interacting with me outside are all adult humans. They should be lacking in natural foes for a prolonged period and their senses have turned numb. They can’t even compare to ordinary animals or even human children,” Curtis said.

Bai Qingqing’s lips twitched. Humans didn’t have the consciousness that children and animals had sharper vigilance, but no one had thought that the problem was on humans themselves.

Thinking about it, it did make sense. Bai Qingqing grinned and joked, “Then don’t interact with children in case you scare them and cause them to cry.”

Curtis tapped his mate’s nose, his eyes filled with adoration.

The two of them walked out of the district and boarded a bus that was headed toward the seaside.

The bus turned here and there, and spending just ten yuan, the two of them arrived at a seaside that was unmanned by anyone.

The shores were surrounded by a fence, with many rocks piled at the side. Curtis flipped over the fence and then brought Bai Qingqing over.

It was ten in the morning and the sun was already quite hot. The golden sunlight scattered across the ground and sea. When looking at the sea, it was so piercing that it was hard for one to open their eyes.

However, compared to the sun in the beastmen world, this sunlight was still too weak. Bai Qingqing and Curtis paid no heed to it and went into a daze as they looked at the sea.

The sand under their feet wasn’t clean sand, but black-colored sand that had a tremendous amount of soil mixed in them. As the waves splashed onto the shores, trash and foam piled up there.

The seawater here wasn’t as blue as that at Sea Cliff. It was a grayish-yellow color and wasn’t much different from river water. The only difference was that one couldn’t see an end to the river.

“Uh? This is it?”

Bai Qingqing was extremely disappointed. She stepped in the water with her feet, feeling troubled as she said, “Why are they different? I thought that all seawater was blue.”

Before the waves came splashing, Curtis raised her and prevented her from coming into contact with the dirty water. However, his own feet were soaked in the seawater that had foam floating on it. His brows furrowed ever so slightly.

“Ssss~” Curtis flicked out his tongue, looked toward the far distance, then said, “There isn’t much food here. We’ll need to go somewhere else.”
