Muirâs reaction made Parker even angrier, and his tail swung around rapidly, trying as best as he could to block Muirâs gaze.
After Bai Qingqing was done washing up, everyone in the room relaxed as if they had just been through a fight.
As Winston washed up, he was fortunate to have avoided this silent battle. The moment he entered, he agilely noticed the stiff atmosphere and frowned as he threw a glance toward their new member, Muir.
Winston was about to bring out the basin and empty bowl when Parker did it before him.
âI still have to go wash up. You help Qingqing to warm up her bed,â Parker said, then threw a sideward glance toward the eagle beastman as he turned to leave. It was impossible for him to feel no resistance to suddenly have an additional love rival. He mustnât let Muir enter Qingqingâs bed so quickly.
Winston nodded and then went under the blankets, changing into his beast form, leaving only his tiger head outside. He opened his mouth and let out a deep cry toward Bai Qingqing.
No matter how many times Bai Qingqing had seen it, she still couldnât help but laugh when she saw beast figures performing human actions and behaviors. She quickly went under the blankets as well and didnât notice the strife between her mates.
In a corner of the bed, Anâan, who had slept for very long, scrunched up her small face and woke up.
Her vision had just cleared up when she appeared frantic, waving her limbs around in search of something.
It was very dark in the room, and a few pieces of wood that had been embedded with luminous balls emitted light. Anâan looked around for a while, threw a glance toward the light, then turned her head and continued her search.
âAnâan?â Bai Qingqing got up quickly, picked Anâan up, and cradled her. âAnâan, be good. Are you hungry?â
As she said this, she gestured for Winston to get up and bring Anâan the sand bucket.
Children would always want to urinate the instant they woke up. Winston immediately understood and quickly brought the sand bucket over.
After Anâan had her biological needs settled, she was still moving around. Bai Qingqing tried to coax her while carrying her to the bed, bringing up her clothes to feed her milk.
Uhh... It seemed that she hadnât felt any breast engorgement for the past few days. Could Anâan still be able to get milk?
Bai Qingqing only thought of this when Anâanâs slightly cool small face came into contact with her warm chest. She suddenly felt a little troubled.
It seemed that they would either have to go cook more food. Breastfeeding was a lot more convenient.
However, Anâan didnât bite her at all and just kept on struggling.
The strength of a nine-and-a-half-month-old child wasnât weak, and Bai Qingqing almost couldnât hold her. Thankfully, she was seated and didnât have to worry about dropping the child.
âWhatâs wrong with Anâan?â Bai Qingqing looked around the dark room and then suddenly understood. She said to Winston, âQuickly bring the luminous ball over. The light rays in the room are too dark.â
Before Bai Qingqing finished speaking, Winston had already stuffed the luminous ball under the blanket. The light rays flashed past in the air and then completely disappeared under the animal skin blanket, only emitting a faint glow at the gap of the blankets.
âCoo-coo~â Muir walked over, feeling worried as he made an inquiring cry.
âItâs fine. Anâan is scared of the dark.â Bai Qingqing raised her head and explained, âItâll be fine if we show her something that gives off light.â
âCoo~â Muir cried out to show that he understood.
However, this time around, Anâan still couldnât be pacified. She angrily slapped away the rod that was brought to her repeatedly. She was usually very good, and now that she was suddenly throwing a temper, Bai Qingqing and Winston were both a little at a loss.
âIs it because she has gotten used to staying with Bluepool and his bigger luminous ball?â Bai Qingqing recalled that Anâan adored Bluepoolâs huge luminous ball since she was very young.
Parker heard the commotion when he was in the main hall and quickly entered the room. When Bai Qingqing saw him, she said, âParker, go make a trip to the waterhole and ask to borrow Bluepoolâs luminous ball. Letâs see if itâll work.â
