Chapter 667: Rosa’s Weird Odor

As Harvey paid special attention to Bai Qingqing, he had long heard plenty of news about her back in Camel Hump Valley. Hence, he wasn’t surprised to see the females bringing a bowl with them. Instead, he was curious as to why this female didn’t bring hers along like the rest.

Rosa raised her head and gazed sideways at him.

For some reason, Harvey felt uncomfortable by her stare. He had a feeling this female was kind of weird.

Also, she gave off a weird odor.

“You’re still in heat. Why aren’t you mating?” Harvey could tell from Rosa’s odor that she was in heat. However, he didn’t detect the scent of a male on her.

He had many questions.

Her odor was too intense, so intense it made him feel like retching. Clearly, when other females were in heat, they gave off a mesmerizing scent, even if it was intense.

Taking another look at the female’s body, her exposed skin didn’t reveal any spousal marks.

Could it be that she didn’t have a mate yet? Didn’t that mean that her going into heat this time would go to waste?

“Why aren’t you talking?” Harvey asked softly.

Rosa stared at him for a while and was about to open her mouth when Parker noticed what was going on there.

“Just ignore her! Leave her be by herself,” Parker said impatiently.

Enraged by his words, Harvey had just straightened his back and was about to speak in defense of the female when Molly could no longer wait and spoke up. “I’m drooling from the wait! Hurry up and hand the meat to me!”

Harvey restrained his rage and briskly walked to her side.

She raised her stone bowl, and, after Harvey filled it up, she asked excitedly, “Is this a new dish from Qingqing’s home? Despite its black appearance, the smell is tantalizing!”

“There will be leftovers later. I’ll bring you another bowl,” Harvey said to Molly.

“Mm, mm.” Molly nodded her head happily, then buried her head in the bowl and started enjoying the food. After which, she could no longer notice anything going on around her—it was simply too delicious!

Harvey then walked to Rosa’s side and said to her “I’ll give you food later”, before going back to distribute food to the other females under their urging.

“Hmph!” Parker scoffed. “It’s best for you to ignore her. Sooner or later we’re going to throw her out.”

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently floated over to Rosa. Yet, all he saw was a nonchalant expression on her face, and she even rolled her eyes.

Seething with anger, Parker mumbled, “What are you so smug about? If it weren’t for the fact that we don’t have time on our hands now, we would have gotten you out of here long ago.”

“Why are you guys treating her like this?” Now that he could guess that this female’s background was not simple, Harvey asked in a much calmer tone.

In any case, his helping Rosa wasn’t because he was fond of her or something, but due to his “professional ethics as a doctor.”

“She wanted to kill Qingqing.” Fury could be detected in Parker’s deep voice.

Harvey abruptly tightened his hold on the spoon in his hands. After casting another glance at Rosa, realization suddenly dawned on him. “That’s her? The tiger female, the previous tiger king’s female cub?”

News of Bai Qingqing being assassinated spread all over the land. Even ordinary beastmen were aware of this, much less Harvey, who paid special attention to her.

His compassion for Rosa instantly vanished as he continued distributing food to the females with a tense face.

“Now you know.” Relieved, Parker just left him at that.

After they finally finished distributing a share to every female, Harvey gave out the remaining to females in heat, and Molly, who was pregnant with a female baby, got the largest share.

The last remaining bit, he peeled off a piece of tree bark to contain those few pieces of meat and left it beside Rosa.

“Here, eat it.” Harvey no longer sounded as warm as he did earlier. After setting down the food, he simply turned around and left.

Rosa raised the tree bark and started wolfing down the meat, even though she couldn’t possibly taste anything with her tongue gone.

The rain had gotten heavier by now. Parker gazed at the skies, then started fetching rainwater to wash the pots as he squatted in the rain.
