âI didnât know.â Bai Qingqing asked, âWhy not?â
The redness at the tip of his ears spread to his face. Thankfully, Parkerâs skin wasnât fair, and the faint redness wasnât obvious.
âYou simply shouldnât.â Parker immediately changed the topic. âWerenât you going down? Come onto my back.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With that, he put on a skirt lying by the side.
The two of them went down the tree. All the tiger beastmen in the village had come out, and all of them were staring in the same direction.
Gahâ
A glamorous peacock flew over first. Behind him, fifty muscular tiger beastmen and females seated on the backs of half of them could be seen. Apart from that, there were also seven to eight males of other species.
They were the spouses or admirers of the newly arrived females.
For the exchange this time around, Winston had sent out Alva. With his help, the tiger beastmen had greater ease of finding a village, and they were also able to choose to negotiate with one that had more females. Hence, they managed to exchange for so many females this time around.
Because they had too many females with them, the tiger beastmen didnât dare to slacken on the road back. Only when they returned to their village did they shout maniacally with no qualms.
âWah! So many females!â
Even Bai Qingqing was shocked by this sight. She pulled Parkerâs hand and said, âOur village only had twenty plus females initially. Our village has expanded to double its original size, hasnât it?â
âYup, thatâs right. But the prerequisite is that we must be able to hang onto them.â Parkerâs brows were slightly furrowed, unlike the tiger beastmen blindly cheering with joy.
Born in a large settlement, he had seen a great deal and was more knowledgeable than the average beastman. He knew very well that if the males in a village werenât powerful enough, no matter how many females they had, they wouldnât be able to hang onto them.
For Winston to dare to buy females at this scale, he was basing it on his capabilities as a four-striped beastman, and also considering that Curtis was holding down the fort here.
But even then, their village would still become the target of some feral beasts. They had to be more alert over this period.
Parker held Bai Qingqingâs body to prevent others from bumping into her. Catching a glimpse of Winston from his peripheral vision, he looked towards him.
Winston walked forward, and the crowd instantly cleared out a path for him.
Roarâ
The tiger beastman leading the pack ran over to Winston high-spiritedly and bowed as a show of submission.
Winston raised a hand and touched his head, only then did the tiger beastman straighten his body.
âWell done,â praised Winston.
Bai Qingqing found this scene vaguely familiar. She suddenly recalled that this was the same scene she witnessed when she first saw him.
Except now, Winston was at a higher status, at the position where the ape king used to stand back then.
Winston roughly swept his gaze over those twenty over females, then said to the tribal head, âPrepare the banquet.â
âYes!â Glowing with radiance, the tribal head instantly replied.
Winston then washed his hands off those matters and strode towards her.
âItâs crowded outside. You should go back and rest,â Winston said gently.
Bai Qingqing said, âI came out to watch the fun.â
The three of them walked back alongside each other, and Bai Qingqing said, âThere are so many females here. Seems like every male in the village will get a mate!â
âNot necessarily.â Winston said calmly, âVery soon young males from the nearby small villages will join in, and when that happens, the most powerful beastmen will still be the ones that emerge victoriously.â
As they spoke, the three of them reached their tree. Parkerâs nose twitched, and an irritated expression instantly appeared on his face.
âBack so fast.â
âWhat?â Bai Qingqing asked, perplexed. She was about to ask further questions when her ears captured that familiar âSsssâ sound.
âCurtis?â
Bai Qingqingâs question was answered by the snake tail lowered from the entrance of the tree hole. She quickly went to hug it in delight.
The snake tail curled and brought her up into the tree hole.
âYouâre finally back... ooh!â Before Bai Qingqing finished her sentence, an icy embrace plastered onto her face.
