Parker huffed and his nostrils flared. He had a rather deep impression of this female too. Of course, when he saw this person, he only felt irritated.
âQingqing, ignore her.â Eve pulled Bai Qingqingâs hand, and the latter nodded her head in agreement.
Surely you couldnât bark back when a dog barked at you? Itâd be disgraceful. So long as her interests werenât affected, Bai Qingqing couldnât be bothered to waste her breath with Eudora.
As she stared at Bai Qingqingâs face, strong jealousy clouded Eudoraâs eyes. It was only when her little cubs called out to her in their babyish voices that she snapped out of her trance. She looked up at Parker, the admiration she had once felt turned into abomination. But she couldnât take it lying down. Especially after she saw the three animal stripes on Parkerâs face.
âSome beastmen donât know whatâs good for them. If you had become my male, you would have a litter of cubs by now,â Eudora said, feigning an air of nonchalance.
âItâs not like I fancy Qingqing because she can give birth to my cubs.â Parker glanced at the males behind Eudora and said sarcastically, âHope all of you manage to have babies of your own.â
That was, of course, not possible. Eudora already had eight males, and none of them were formidable. Thus, they werenât able to bring her a green crystal to prolong her lifespan. As a female could only give birth for thirty years or so, it would be good enough if she could give birth five or six times. Giving birth eight times was nearly impossible. Moreover, looking at how fickle in love Eudora was, she would probably have more mates in the future.
Eudora was speechless. She was even more jealous of Bai Qingqing now.
Which of her males didnât become mates with her with the hopes that she would give birth to their offspring? Yet Parker didnât woo Bai Qingqing because of this reason. Moreover, Parker was so formidableâhe was already a three-striped beastman now and even moved into the City of Beastmen. He should be very formidable in the City of Beastmen too.
Eudora stared viciously at Bai Qingqing and only left with a sulky expression under the urging of her mates.
Bai Qingqing poked Parkerâs tummy with her elbow. âWell said.â
Parkerâs gloominess went away instantly. He shook his tail gleefully.
âSheâs so smug about having given birth to a litter of cubs.â Eve rolled her eyes, then suddenly chuckled. âAfter you left, sheâs been going around asking people how to roast meat the way you did every day. But the meat she roasted tasted super awful. She even came to me and asked me to teach her how to cook fish steamboat. I keep hearing her gloat about you getting abducted by a feral beast. No way will I teach her how to make it.â
Bai Qingqing hadnât expected Eudora even thought that way of her. Fuming, she said to Eve, âThank you for not telling her.â
âMm.â Eve nodded her head vigorously.
The three of them walked to Parkerâs wooden house. The door was tightly shut, and no one could tell whether there was a beastman inside.
Seeing Bai Qingqing stop there, Eve immediately reminded her. âWeâd better go away quickly. This house is now occupied by a four-striped tiger. Heâ¦â
âNo worries, I know him.â Without waiting for Eve to finish, Bai Qingqing interrupted her. She was relieved to hear thisâthe four-striped tiger likely referred to Winston.
âKnock knock knock!â Bai Qingqing knocked on the door. âWinston, are you in there?â
With his hands propped on the ground, Parker crouched down and sniffed the ground at the door. He then raised his head and roared twice.
No response.
Bai Qingqing leaned against the wooden wall feebly. âDonât touch the ground with your hands. How are you going to carry me later?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Parker wiped his hands on his body and was about to push open the door when they heard the roar of a tiger from behind.
âWinston?â Bai Qingqing turned her head with a beam.
With a bloody prey hanging from his mouth, the white tiger exuded a naturally intimidating aura. Eve couldnât help but retreat two steps. Her three leopard cubs also scurried behind her legs, their round bodies shivering with fear, clearly frightened.
Parker straightened his body, and his lips parted and closed several times before he finally managed to utter, âAre you free?â
