Bai Qingqing felt sad but didn’t say anything. She lowered her head and sat there for a while, then went to check on Muir.

Muir had become extremely skinny, and she was worried that he’d starve to death. She went to the kitchen, had a bowl of soup herself, then brought another bowl of soup to feed him.

Having not eaten for too long, his digestive system would definitely be affected. Right now, Bai Qingqing only dared to feed him soup.

Over half a day, Bai Qingqing slowly fed Muir four big bowls of soup.

Then, Muir finally showed a reaction—he had drunk too much liquid and woke up from a strong urge to pee.

Appearing surprised, Bai Qingqing gently pushed his wings. “Muir... Have you woken up?”

“Coo~” Muir was constantly on his guard. Every time he woke up, he would immediately open his eyes and his gaze would always be clear. However, today, it seemed as if his gaze was shrouded for an instant before he completely opened his eyes.

Qingqing?

Muir turned his head to look at his mate next to him, feeling delighted. Bird species weren’t used to laying down to sleep. After taking a look at Bai Qingqing, he immediately got up.

As he was too weak and had gotten up too abruptly, after standing up, Muir stumbled a little.

Bai Qingqing quickly held onto his leg. “Take it slow...”

She had wanted to say more when Muir lowered his head to rub against her head. He then ran outside at great speed. Bai Qingqing wasn’t able to let go of him in time and pulled off a few soft grayish-white feathers from his leg.

Muir dashed straight for the sandpit and the sound of water rang out, creating a small pool of water in the sandpit.

A long while later, Muir finally let out an exhale, feeling relieved.

Bai Qingqing chased after him. After hearing the long sound of water and the sigh at the end, her expression instantly froze.

After walking out of the sandpit, Muir came to face his mate’s expression of realization. His gaze flickered and a hint of light pink appeared on part of the skin by his beak.

“Coo~”

Bai Qingqing scratched her head, not mentioning anything about the soup. She smiled sheepishly and said, “You haven’t eaten anything for so many days. Let’s go to the kitchen and get some food first.”

Muir’s eagle face flushed up and he nodded, walking alongside Bai Qingqing as they entered the kitchen.

A nutritious meat paste had long been readied for Muir, warmed up in the pot over burning charcoal fire.

After the pot lid was lifted, the strong fragrance produced from a mix of fish and meat erupted.

It smelled really nice and looked very exquisite. Muir couldn’t believe that this was his food until Bai Qingqing scooped a bowl and brought it to him.

“Have some porridge first. After your body has gotten used to it, you can eat normal food,” Bai Qingqing said.

Muir felt that she was making a fuss over nothing, but he felt especially happy inside. He could sense his mate’s great concern for him.

Muir extended his wings but was unable to take the bowl. He had no choice but to change into his human form.

After seeing Muir in his human form, Bai Qingqing’s expression was stunned and her heart ached a lot.

Without his feathers to cover him up, it was apparent how skinny he was.

Muir’s face and eyes were deeply sunken in, his bulging bones appearing exceptionally sharp, just like a skeleton covered by only skin.

His chest still looked very muscular to Bai Qingqing’s eyes. However, compared to the Muir in the past, there was a stark difference. His developed muscles had become so shriveled that they had become almost flat. Even though his chest was still broad, it gave off a weak feeling.

Muir held the bowl and took a drink of the meat paste. He looked up and saw his mate’s upset expression, instantly feeling regretful—he shouldn’t have transformed in front of her.

Women dolled up for the people who loved them. The same could be applied in the beastmen world, but the genders switched around. It should be a case of males dolling up for the one who loved them.
