Parker felt very envious when he saw how Bai Qingqing treated Curtis. He immediately said, âItâs so rare that itâs raining. Let her play a little longer today.â
Curtis didnât say anything else.
The beastmen kept on howling until the moons reached the peak. The three different colored âmoonsâ appeared clearly in the night sky. The beastmen still hadnât had enough, but the faint clouds had already drifted away, and there was no way that they would return no matter how much they cried out.
âHowl!â [I want to continue howling for another day!]
âHowlââ [This feels too good!]
This was what all beastmen were thinking at this moment.
After being in the rain for half a day and half a night, Bai Qingqing caught a cold without any surprise. Both Parker and Curtis quickly brought her home.
They passed by a waterfall on their way back. The rain had caused the waterfall to start flowing again. All sorts of animals were crowding around the lake, greedily licking at the muddy water in the lake. Despite that many of them were connected by a food chain relationship, no fighting took place.
When the three of them reached home, Curtis placed Bai Qingqing on the bed, taking off her clothes quickly and wrapping her up with a blanket.
âIf you arenât feeling well, why didnât you say it earlier?â Curtis reprimanded her angrily, but seeing how weak she looked, he couldnât bear to scare her too much.
Bai Qingqing curled up under the blanket. Despite the hot weather, she didnât feel warm when covered under such a thick blanket. She had really caught a cold.
âItâs been so long since Iâve come into contact with water, so I wanted to have a dip for a little longer. Wasnât it the same for you?â Bai Qingqing wriggled over to Curtis like a caterpillar. âWas it comfortable?â
Curtisâs breathing paused, and his expression was cold as usual. However, his overly pale skin had exposed the flush on his face. âDidnât you want to give birth to cubs for the next time?â
Bai Qingqing glared with wide-open eyes. âIâm only asking if you felt comfortable having a dip in the water. What are you thinking?â
Curtis chose to ignore Bai Qingqingâs explanation and just took it as if she was shy. He said, âParker is too useless. To think that he hasnât gotten you pregnant yet. Damn!â
Parker happened to enter with a bowl of ginger soup, but he paused in his footsteps. It was only after Curtis looked toward him that Bai Qingqing noticed that Parker was here.
Bai Qingqing glared at Curtis, then quickly said, âWhat did you cook? Iâm famished. Quickly bring it to me.â
âIâve boiled a short-winged bird, but itâll take a little longer. Finish up this yellow root soup first. He threw a cold glance toward Curtis, then said, âKeep an eye on the fire. Iâll go to the Camel Hump Valley to call for a doctor.â
âNo need.â Bai Qingqing smiled. A faint flush appeared on her pale face under the ginger soupâs steam. âIâll be fine after getting some sleep. Females arenât as fragile as you guys think.â
Curtis had taken care of Bai Qingqing when she was sick before, and this time around, it wasnât as serious. Therefore, he wasnât very anxious and said to Parker, âGo and cook more food. Snow likes to eat what you cook. If she still doesnât get better tomorrow, then weâll call for a doctor.â
Since Curtis was saying this, Parker went back to the kitchen to cook.
They had to continue to conserve water, but today was a day worth celebrating. Knowing that Bai Qingqing wanted to eat noodles, Parker used the bird soup to cook up a bowl of handmade noodles for her with rich toppings.
It had been very long since the last time Bai Qingqing had eaten piping hot food with soup. Her appetite was piqued and she only put down her chopsticks after she was so full that she couldnât drink another mouthful of soup.
