Parker roasted meat in the main room without saying a word, causing the atmosphere to become tense.

Bai Qingqing didn’t want to waste energy on him as she had already made up her mind to reject him. Since Cortis had arrived in the city, and the beastmen in the city would prevent him from taking her away, she said to Parker, “Parker, I want to find Cortis.”

After all, Cortis was her mate, and she had to face reality.

Parker quickly turned to glare at her. Indescribable agony could be seen in his bright golden eyes.

Bai Qingqing felt guilty under his gaze and looked down to avoid it.

Parker was silent for a long while before he suddenly said in a defeated voice, “Don’t go. I’ll let him stay with us.”

Bai Qingqing was stunned, then didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Was Parker planning to have a three-way relationship?

“Parker, I only intend to have one mate, so… I’m sorry,” Bai Qingqing said softly.

Parker pursed his lips tightly and stubbornly glared at her before suddenly getting up and running out.

“Parker!” Bai Qingqing tried to chase after him, but he had already run far away. She could only return to the house and watch over the roasted meat.

Before long, Parker returned with Cortis.

Bai Qingqing was stunned as she watched the two of them enter the house together.

After not seeing Cortis for a few days, his handsome face seemed to look somewhat haggard. He still looked young, but he gave the impression that he had been through a lot. Bai Qingqing sat on the ground and looked up at the red-haired man moving closer towards her, her ankle tightening as if it was breathing.

Cortis walked right over to Bai Qingqing and flicked his tongue as he knelt down and hugged her tightly.

“I missed you so much, Xiao Bai,” Cortis whispered, breathing cool air into Bai Qingqing’s ear as he did so.

Bai Qingqing shivered. She felt afraid now after seeing Cortis in person. She gently pushed him away and looked up at Parker.

Parker scoffed. “Hmph! This is my territory. I’m the boss around here.”

Cortis’s eyes suddenly turned cold. His lower body transformed into its snake form and he swung his snake tail at Parker.

Parker sensed danger with his natural instincts, but his body was unable to react fast enough. He was instantly sent flying and cried out as he was thrown against the stone wall. “Roar!”

“Parker!” Bai Qingqing quickly hugged Cortis’s body. She immediately realized that she couldn’t stop him at all as his snake tail was too long.

Bai Qingqing could only verbally stop him. “Don’t hurt him!”

Cortis gently patted Bai Qingqing’s back to calm her down, then looked Parker in the eye for the first time, not because Parker provoked him, but because he knew that he would have to share his female with this leopard in the future.

If he was brought into the house, it meant that Xiao Bai had accepted him. Cortis said coldly, “If you’re not satisfied, I can find another place to stay and bring Xiao Bai with me.”

Parker spat out blood, then wiped the corner of his mouth before he got up and said reluctantly, “You’re the boss.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

This is the so-called fight to determine their statuses in the family??Bai Qingqing was intrigued as this was her first time witnessing it.

Cortis averted his gaze before turning to look at Bai Qingqing with fondness in his eyes. “You’re going to eat meat? Don’t you like to eat rice? I’ll go cook it for you.”

“Qingqing likes to eat meat. She loves to eat the meat I roast for her.” Parker walked over and sat down beside Bai Qingqing.

Cortis paid no attention to him and was about to get up when Bai Qingqing stopped him. “It’s okay. The meat has already been roasted. I’ll just eat that on its own.”

Parker’s tail immediately curled up in satisfaction. As his hands busily chopped up the meat for her, he wrapped his idle tail around her hand.
