At least Carl was good to her, unlike that green peacock who was proud like a female.
Hmph! Itâd be best if Bai Qingqing didnât accept him. Itâd be even better if no females wanted him! She was also going to look for more males and get Alva to regret it to death! Who told him to refuse her.
The excitement on Edgarâs face turned a little fainter. He hugged Molly tightly once again and threw a disgusted look at Carl. He then continued to head home.
Carl quieted down and followed behind them, his lips curling into a smile.
They made quite a big commotion, and Bai Qingqing saw them from her house. She couldnât help but throw a glance in Alvaâs direction.
Molly said that sheâd look for Alva first. Did this mean that Alva had rejected her?
They continued the âcommunal mealsâ today, and Bai Qingqing still sat by the waterhole. Molly wasnât in good condition and thus didnât join in. Carl roasted meat and brought the entire prey back.
The strange thing was that Alva didnât come out for food, either.
The sky had been clear in the day, but the weather suddenly changed at night. Strong gales blew in the forest, and it was extremely stuffy.
The beastmen quickly finished their dinner and went back to their respective homes.
Boomâ
An explosive thunder erupted, bringing forth heavy rain. As the rain came down in the forest, the air became humid.
âIt has finally rained. Iâm almost turning stale from the heat.â Bai Qingqing leaned at the tree holeâs entrance and said, breathing in the air brought by the rain outside. She felt that her body was nourished from the inside out.
Parker climbed up while carrying hot water. âQuickly wash up. Itâs dark now. Do you need me to help you?â
Bai Qingqing turned to glare at him even though she wasnât able to see anything clearly anymore.
She didnât light up the luminous ball and just washed up in the dark. She still felt more at ease not seeing anything.
Winston had his back to her, looking outside. âWeâll need to put on new mud mortar on the city walls we built today.â
âThereâs the peacock around, anyway. Itâll be done very quickly with him flying about.â Parker took a look at Curtis, who was coiled up in his nest, not moving. He asked, âCurtis, itâll rain for the next few days, right?â
Curtis gave Parker a âyouâre speaking the obviousâ glance.
âThen, weâll stop work for a few days,â Winston said.
Bai Qingqing felt that this was fortunate and said, âThis is good. With Molly in heat, her males will be able to take good care of her.â
Winston had his back to her and said, âReproduction is the most important matter. Even if we have to continue with our work, Iâll leave a male behind to take care of her.â
âThatâs good, then.â After saying that, Bai Qingqing suddenly felt exasperated and said, âI told Molly to keep her guard up against Carl, but I didnât expect her to accept him as her mate so quickly. It has only been a few days!â
Winston understood rootless beasts the most and said, âHeâs not her mate. Heâs at most her lover.â
âThen, Carl is quite pitiful as well.â Bai Qingqing thought of how she had almost canceled her spousal relationship with Curtis and suddenly felt a little guilty about it.
However, the reason she couldnât accept Curtis was, firstly, because she had been forced, and secondly, because she didnât understand him and couldnât feel at ease. However, Molly and Carl had known each other for so many years. Why was it that she hadnât accepted him after all those years, but suddenly did in these few days?
Bai Qingqing couldnât understand but couldnât be bothered to think about it. She just continued to wash up.
The humid environment energized Curtis, and he stared at Bai Qingqingâs bare body with his blood-red eyes.
A chill ran through Bai Qingqingâs spine, and she turned to see two pairs of gleaming eyes. One pair was gleaming in green, the other in red. It was clear who they belonged to.
Bai Qingqing hastened to finish washing up.
