The two figures holding onto plant umbrellas in the rain suddenly came to a stop.
The ape king spurted out a mouthful of blood, stumbled two steps, and only stabilized after holding onto the wolf king for support.
âYour Majesty!â The wolf king quickly supported the ape king, saying in astonishment, âTo think that youâre so seriously injured? Iâll go teach that snake beastman a lesson!â
Saying that the wolf king was about to turn around when the ape king grabbed onto the wolf kingâs arm. His fingers were a lot longer than ordinary beastmen, almost wrapping the wolf kingâs thick and muscular arm completely.
âYou arenât a match for him.â
The wolf kingâs two thick brows furrowed so tightly together that they touched, and he said, âHow would we know if we if donât fight? Itâs been over ten years since Iâve become a four-striped beastman.â
âHeâs a feral beast. He has encountered more danger and training than we have. Heâs a lot stronger than those at the same level.â The ape king let go of the wolf king, then walked on forward slowly. âItâs only today that I realized heâs a lot stronger than I imagined him to be. Heâs definitely the strongest beastman in the City of Beastmen.â
The wolf king couldnât help but stop in his footsteps for a moment. After coming back to his senses, he then quickly caught up, saying in surprise, âEven stronger than the tiger king?â
âIf you and the tiger king were to join forces, the two of you should be able to defeat him.â The ape kingâs gaze turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, âTherefore, itâs best to get Bai Qingqing on our side. Otherwise⦠we can only eliminate them completely.â
â¦
On that very day, a few beastmen came to bring food for Bai Qingqing. However, they werenât able to catch a glimpse of her at all and were scolded and chased away by Parker when they got close to the stone house.
The rain had been getting lighter in recent days, and the temperature had been turning lower. It seemed that the rainy season was going to be over soon. Unknowingly, the willow trees by the river had lost their green colors. The City of Beastmen was in a state of decadence.
Bai Qingqingâs stomach had become really big, and she wasnât able to see her feet when she looked down. Although she ate a lot every day, not only did she not get fatter, but she had also clearly gotten slimmer. Even her slightly rounded chin had turned sharp.
When her appetite reached a peak, she suddenly lost appetite, unable to eat anything at all.
âMy stomach feels so stretched out.â Bai Qingqing lay down on the grass pile, stroking her stomach with her hand non-stop. She felt so bad that she wanted to cry.
Curtisâs children were simply monsters, suddenly bulging up in the past half a month. If she had been together with Curtis from the moment she transmigrated here, and then gotten pregnant, she would definitely associate her life with horror movies like âAlienâ. She would definitely suspect that her stomach would suddenly explode and many small snakes would crawl out.
Parker immediately got up, ran to the main room, and brought over a bamboo section. âIâll help you to apply oil.â
âEn, en.â Bai Qingqing removed her outer garment. The moment she did so, she felt so cold that she shuddered.
Parker poured a bit of oil onto his hand, rubbed both hands together till it warmed up, then evenly applied it onto Bai Qingqingâs stomach. After applying a layer of oil as a lubricant, the tearing feeling weakened a lot.
This wasnât a method that Bai Qingqing thought of. A doctor from the ape tribe had come to tell them to do this a long time ago. Beastmen had a short pregnancy period, and their stomachs could suddenly become bigger, so delicate females might not be able to withstand that. Therefore, there was a need to think of ways to provide relief.
Rustling sounds rang out from the main room, and Curtis, in his semi-beast form, slithered into the bedroom. He said to Bai Qingqing happily, âI caught a wild boar. Which part of it do you want to eat?â
Bai Qingqing put on her clothes and sat up with great difficulty, shaking her head while wearing a bitter expression. âI donât feel like eating anything.â
âYou havenât eaten anything for the entire day.â Saying that Curtis suddenly seemed as if he recalled something and his red pupils that looked as translucent as a glaze suddenly expanded.
âAlright, then donât eat.â
Bai Qingqing threw a strange glance at him. As she hadnât been eating, Curtis had been taking on a strong stance, forcing her to eat. He had already caught a few preys that she usually liked to eat today. Why did he suddenly change his attitude?
Parker knew that during their pregnancies, femalesâ taste in food would change. He said anxiously, âHow can you not eat? Do you feel like eating rice? I can cook it for you.â
Saliva was secreted in Bai Qingqingâs mouth, and she suddenly felt like eating the rice that she had forgotten for over a month. âAlright.â
