âWe mustnât let anyone find out about this.â
Parkerâs breathing was a little quick. âWe need to study this in secret.â
âNaturally.â Winston also agreed.
Curtis didnât say anything. After he listened to what they said, he continued scattering the wheat grains.
Everyone was selfish. If other beastmen were to find out about the soul crystal, theyâd definitely keep it for themselves if they were to find one.
It was the same for both of them.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Itâd be best if they could get their hands on all the soul crystals they could get and control the situation. If an accident were to take place one day, theyâd still be able to find the one with Bai Qingqing from the rocks.
After they were done with the conversation, Winston said, âThere isnât much work here. You guys can go back and accompany Qingqing.â
Parkerâs mind was still in a mess, and he answered half-heartedly. He then left the wheat field and walked off.
Curtis didnât have anything to do even if he were to go back. He didnât pay Winston any heed and then continued scattering the grains.
...
The golden leopard ran rapidly in the rain. The rainwater wet his hair, sticking it very close to his body. It was like he had a set of glistening hide that even the bare parts werenât obvious anymore.
âRoar!â
Parker entered their home and let out a loud cry toward the bedroom door.
It was very quiet inside, and Parker immediately sensed that something wasnât right.
âRoar?â
He ran into the bedroom after quickly shaking off the rainwater from his fur.
As expected, there was no one in the room.
Qingqing must have run out to play and had brought along Anâan and the leopard cubs with her. The rain was so heavy. He hoped that she didnât get drenched.
Parker then ran out anxiously, hesitated for a moment, then ran for the cave where they met with the little snake.
The little snake circled Bai Qingqingâs waist tightly, looking pleased. He was so comfortable that his eyelids were drooping.
Anâan suddenly woke up. Her small face furrowed up, and she looked like she was going to cry.
Bai Qingqing immediately removed the arm on her waist and the leopards from her legs, then carried Anâan up.
âShe must be going to poop!â
Bai Qingqing had just positioned Anâanâs legs when she peed. She almost wet the animal skin.
Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief.
Looking at the stunned little snake, she said apologetically, âIâll bury it later.â
âNo need. Iâll clean it up,â the little snake said immediately.
âRoar!â
An anxious leopard roar rang out from the forest in front of the cave.
The little snake immediately put on a defensive stance and rushed to the very front, blocking in front of her.
âItâs Parker,â Bai Qingqing said light-heartedly.
As expected, it wasnât long before a leopard with a bare neck ran into their vision.
Parker saw Bai Qingqing from afar, standing behind the little snake. His heart returned to its original spot.
He ran into the cave and immediately changed into his human form. When he saw that Bai Qingqingâs hair was a little wet, he said angrily, âWhy did you come out by yourself? I was so scared that my soul was going to leave me when I didnât see you at home.â
âSsss!â
Seeing that Parker was being fierce to her, the little snake immediately exposed a fierce expression at him.
Bai Qingqing patted the little snakeâs back to gesture to him that it was fine. She suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed.
âYou guys are done planting?â Bai Qingqingâs heart tightened as she anxiously asked. âWhereâs Curtis? Is he back?â
The little snake became nervous as well, his vision quickly searching the bushes. It seemed like he was going to run off for his life if he saw the slightest movement.
Bai Qingqingâs heart ached. She took the little snakeâs hand and said, âMommyâs here, donât be scared.â
Parker rolled his eyes. âCurtis is still in the fields. Only I came back.â
The little snake and Bai Qingqing both felt relieved at the same time.
Parker rubbed her hair and then looked at the leopard cubs close to the fire. The fury on his face was replaced by feelings of love.
âLetâs go home. Curtis will be returning in a while.â
