The two of them hugged tightly for a while, neither of them unwilling to part. In the end, Bai Qingqingâs nose suddenly twitched and she pushed his face away. âDid you eat octopus?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSo that was an octopus? I had a few skewers before I came. The taste is a little strong. Youâll definitely like it.â Parker said excitedly, âIâll bring you to eat it tomorrow.â
âWait, how did you get to eat? You didnât steal it, right?â Bai Qingqing looked at him with a gaze filled with doubt.
Hearing his mateâs tone, Parker knew that she didnât like his âstealingâ behavior. Therefore, he said, âOf course not. I bought them with paper.â
âWhat paper? You brought my wallet?â Bai Qingqing felt pleasantly surprised. There were still 40 to 50 yuan inside.
Parkerâs brows fell a little. He took off the animal skin bag that he had tied to his waist, opening it while saying, âI didnât. I bought it with paper I picked off from the ground. Paper gets wet easily when it rains. I only brought your comb, mirror, and nail clipper.â
As he said this, he poured out everything on the bed, releasing crisp clanking sounds.
Bai Qingqing only took it that Parker was lucky to have picked up some money and didnât doubt his words. She reached for the switch to turn on the light. After the light was turned on and she turned her head, she felt she was going blind.
There was a small pile of green crystals on the bed, making up to at least four to five hundred in number.
She gasped, her face filled with disbelief. âWhere did you get these from?â
âI hunted for them.â At the mention of hunting, an excited gleam flashed in Parkerâs eyes. He felt a little proud about it, too.
Bai Qingqing shook her head. âNo, thatâs impossible. It has only been six days.â
Parker no longer had any animal stripes on his face, either. He had clearly become a stripeless beast. However, it was said that herbivorous behemoths that had green crystals inside them were a lot more difficult to deal with than carnivorous ones. Even Curtis said that heâd usually try not to offend them and would only hunt one when required.
âWhat six days?â Stunned, Parkerâs voice turned a little aggrieved. âIt has been six years. Iâve been waiting for you over there for six years.â
Bai Qingqing instantly felt that all the blood in her body had turned cold. She no longer felt agitated at the sight of the green crystals and only felt heartache and guilt.
âIâm sorry, I didnât know that you guys spent so much time there.â Bai Qingqing knelt and pounced into Parkerâs chest. When she blinked, two scorching drops of tears fell onto the leopard-print clothing, splattering and then landing onto the bedsheets.
Parker was stunned. âYou donât know? Time over here...â
âSix days.â Bai Qingqing nestled against his chest, saying, âIn another half a day, itâd have been seven days.â
There was no pattern to the time flow in both worlds. On the first occasion, she had transmigrated and spent five years there. But when she came back, the time in the modern world hadnât changed. On the second occasion, she summoned Curtis and Muir over. The time was in sync. However, things were flipped over this time around. Six days had passed here while six years had passed over there.
The two worlds were likely to be not connected at all, thus explaining the lack of pattern. She had only gone over by accident, leading to this series of changes.
Bai Qingqing felt extremely thankful. Thank goodness she had managed to wait until Parker arrived. Thank goodness the time flow in this world was slower. If she were to age and die, with only a few days passing in the beastmen world, then itâd really be despairing.
Bai Qingqing held in with her sobbing and asked in a soft voice, âWhat about the children? Whereâs Winston?â
âUhh...â Parker looked embarrassed, only saying after his mate asked him anxiously, âTo become stronger faster, I never returned to the tribe after leaving... Hasnât Winston come over yet? He should have leveled up earlier than me.â
He didnât dare to continue. Also thinking of the same possibility, Bai Qingqingâs face turned pale.
