After he was done eating, Parker went into the mountains to beat up a tiger, then sent it to Harvey as payment for the medical treatment and medicinal herbs. When he returned, he saw his female obediently sitting in the house, which instantly relieved him of all his fatigue.
âFemale, Iâm home!â Parker purposedly said in a loud voice. When he saw Bai Qingqing look up at the sound of his voice, he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction that came with having a family of his own.
âOh.â Bai Qingqing responded softly, then continued taking stock of the things in her backpack. She had brought some daily necessities with her as she had prepared to stay the night at the foot of the mountain with her friends prior to transmigrating. They were very useful now.
She had toothbrushes, some toothpaste, a wooden comb, a square-shaped towel to wash her face with, a clean set of underwear, a key holder, and various odds and ends.
âFemale, what are you doing?â Parker crouched down beside Bai Qingqing. He then curiously held up a toothbrush and even sniffed it.
Bai Qingqing noticed Parkerâs actions out of the corner of her eye and immediately snatched back her toothbrush. âI already said to call me Bai Qingqing. Donât call me âfemaleâ. Just call me Qingqing.â
âQingqing...â Parker carefully ruminated over those two words and then chuckled. âI think âBaibaiâ suits you more. Youâre even fairer than the females of the three main species in the City of Beastmen. But I like the name âQingqingâ too, Qingqing.â
Bai Qingqingâs words caught in her throat as she looked at the sweat on Parkerâs face. Knowing that he beat up a tiger for her, she felt grateful and decided not to bicker with him.
âWhatâs the City of Beastmen?â Bai Qingqing asked casually.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Parkerâs expression became blank and the joy faded from his face. âThe City of Beastmen is the largest beastman settlement in our area.â
Bai Qingqing glanced at Parker. Did this guy have any painful memories about the City of Beastmen? With this guess in mind, Bai Qingqing didnât ask further.
From the animal skin heâd stored, Parker picked out a thin and soft piece of cowhide and passed it to Bai Qingqing, saying, âHere, you can sew clothes with this. Your clothes are too strange. Theyâre probably meant for attracting the attention of males. Youâre my female now, so you canât wear weird-looking clothes.â
The corners of Bai Qingqingâs mouth twitched as she took the cowhide. âI donât know... how to sew clothes.â
âYouâre so stupid.â Although Parker said that, he was neither angry nor surprised as heâd already deduced that Qingqing was pampered growing up. âIâll sew them for you.â
Bai Qingqing was surprised. âYou know how to sew clothes?â
âOf course!â Parker raised his chin. âGet up. Iâll take your measurements.â
âOkay.â Bai Qingqing immediately stood up and spread out her arms to let Parker take her chest measurements.
Parker held the cowhide as his eyes landed on Bai Qingqingâs full chest. Before taking her measurements, he used his hands to squeeze it.
âAh!â Bai Qingqing automatically stepped back and wrapped her arms around her chest. She glared at Parker angrily. âWhat are you doing?â
Parker was shocked by Bai Qingqingâs violent reaction. With an indifferent look on his face, as if it was natural for him to do that, he said, âYouâre my female. Whatâs wrong with me squeezing your chest?â
âYou hooligan!â
âWhatâs a hooligan? Iâm a leopard,â Parker replied in a baffled manner. He walked closer to Bai Qingqing as he continued, âQuickly let me take your measurements.â
Bai Qingqing continued to step backward with her arms still wrapped around her chest. âGo away! I... I donât want to have clothes made for me anymore.â
Seeing Bai Qingqing all tensed up, Parker knew that heâd scared her and immediately softened his voice. âOkay, okay. I wonât squeeze your chest anymore.â
Bai Qingqing remained where she was and stared at Parker with slightly downturned eyes. Despite exuding innocence, she looked as wary as a small beast. Feeling like his heart was about to melt, Parker reached out and pinched her face. âSo timid. I meant it when I said I wonât squeeze you.â
