Looking at how she was gobbling up the fruit, Bai Qingqing couldnât help but swallow her saliva. She asked, âHow does it taste?â
âMm, mm.â Molly nodded and replied in a muffled voice. After swallowing it down, she exclaimed, âYummy, really yummy!â
This made Bai Qingqing feel even more greedy for it. She smacked her lips.
Molly was about to eat another one when Bai Qingqing hurriedly stopped her. âDonât. Wait a while and see whatâs the effect like first. What if you eat too much and the effects are too potent?â
Upon hearing this, Molly stopped. âIn that case, Iâll eat another one tomorrow.â
âMm.â
Bai Qingqing responded as she let out evil laughter in her heart. Hehehe, if it didnât have any effects, she must try one for herself.
There were still tear streaks on Mollyâs face, and her eyes were red as a rabbitâs. Bai Qingqing said, âNow that youâve eaten the horned melon, you should stop crying. If you cry more, youâll probably turn into a rabbit beastman.â
Molly smiled through her tears. âIs there such a thing as rabbit beastman? Iâve only eaten a wild rabbit before.â
âI made that up. Who knows if they exist.â As Bai Qingqing spoke, she held out the tree branch with fruits hanging from it. âA male asked me to give you this. Look, you do have admirers.â
Molly took it from her immediately and plucked off one to toss to Bai Qingqing, then plucked another one and casually rubbed it on her skirt, before chomping on it.
âWho is it?â
Bai Qingqing thought for a moment. âI donât know him. A two-striped beastman. Oh right, part of his left ear is missing.â
âOh, him.â Molly revealed a heartened smile. âHeâs a young male who didnât take part in the duels. Iâm planning on becoming mates with him in the future.â
âIn the future?â Bai Qingqing asked, âWhy not now?â
Molly propped up her chin with her hand and gazed towards a large tree. âI want my first mate to be someone Iâm very, very fond of.â
Bai Qingqing followed her gaze and felt her head ache.
This lass was still thinking about Alva!
Molly, who could guess what was on Bai Qingqingâs mind, shook her head and said, âAt the very least, he canât be casual about relationships and didnât take part in yesterdayâs duels to vie for a mate. Iâve never lacked admirers and donât care for those males who get a spouse for the sake of getting a spouse. Also, I donât want a male to pursue me because of my appearance. In any case, since you said you wouldnât accept him, I still stand a chance.â
Bai Qingqing shrugged. âSo long as it makes you happy.â
In any case, after becoming spouses, the male would be devoted to his mate. Molly did have the capital to be wilful.
...
Three days later, Winston finally came back leading a pack of 40 to 50 tiger beastmen.
The village instantly bustled with life, with tiger roars reverberating around the place, waking Curtis up from his slumber.
Ssss~ Curtis stretched lazily, then squeezed his tail into the third story, before lowering it from the entrance of the tree hole like a gluttonous snake.
Bai Qingqing, lying on her belly as she watched the fun from the second story entrance, suddenly saw a tail lower before her eyes. She turned around in delight and exclaimed, âYouâre finally awake! Youâve been asleep for nearly four days. Why did you sleep for so long this time?â
Ssss~
Curtis slithered towards her and coiled himself around her body, then transformed into a human and whispered by her ear. âYouâre going to have new clothes to wear soon.â
âMm?â Bai Qingqing froze, then widened her eyes. âYou mean...â
Before she finished speaking, her voice was blocked out. Curtisâs tongue had squirmed into her mouth and was now curled around her tongue.
Retracting his tongue, Curtis placed a slim, long, and icy finger on Bai Qingqingâs lips. âOur secret.â
âOkay.â Bai Qingqing nodded solemnly.
Curtis would be in danger if he was attacked while he was shedding his skin, so they must stay tight-lipped about this.
After the newly joined tiger beastmen were assigned accommodation by the tribal head, Winston returned to the tree hole.
