Bai Qingqingâs lips parted slightly. It seemed like he had made a sound, for she could see the slight trembling of water ripples. However, she couldnât hear anything.
Shortly after, a dense cluster of little silver fishes surfaced from the depths of the water.
Upon a closer look, one could see that they were contained within bubbles, and that was why they were in a cluster.
âEh?â Bai Qingqing couldnât help but asked Parker in a lowered voice, âDid you hear the sound?â
âMm.â
Parker gave her an affirmative reply, making Bai Qingqing feel all the more incredulous.
The sound frequencies that she and the beastmenâs ears could perceive were different.
âThey must be famished, there arenât enough fishes in the waterhole for them to nibble at. You showed up at the right time.â
Bluepool held up the bubble and swam to the shore, then said to her, âJust stick your mouth into this.â
âUhh...â Bai Qingqing was speechless.
Could he put it in a less revolting way? His words made her feel like she was a pervert.
Although somewhat embarrassed, Bai Qingqing did as she was told for the sake of her dental hygiene.
The little silver fishes in the water bubble swarmed towards her. Peering downwards, Bai Qingqing could feel the little silver fishes especially enthusiastically swimming about in her mouth. In fact, it felt like they had gotten into a fight vying for territory.
In her excitement, Bai Qingqing nearly closed her mouth and accidentally swallowed the little silver fishes. She cast a pleading look at Bluepool: What am I to do if I accidentally gulp them down?
For some reason, Bluepool actually read that perfectly. Simmering with laugher, he said, âThey have astounding reproductive abilities. Havenât you realized that the little silver fishes have doubled in numbers?â
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes. Wasnât the crux of the matter about swallowing the fishes alive? Who cared about the numbers?!
Cradling Anâan in his arms, Winston said to her gently, âIâll carry Anâan back first.â
Anâan!
At the mention of this name, Bluepool abruptly raised his head and stared intently at Winston... âs baby.
âAre you going to let me see the little female during the cold season?â
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes at him once more.
What a crappy question. How could she possibly give birth to a second female baby in a short span of three months?
âDonât go, let me take a look at her.â Bluepool flapped his tail vigorously in the water, bringing about ripples on the surface of the entire waterhole.
Bai Qingqing waved at Winston, who then walked to the side of the waterhole and cast a cold glance at Bluepool, before lowering his arms.
Though his heart shivered under the tiger kingâs gaze, Bluepool ignored his instinctive fear of death and edged closer to take a look.
âAh ooh~â
Anâan could utter more and more syllables now, and they were sounding increasingly clear.
Though they were only simple syllables, coming from the throat of a baby, they sounded babyish and super adorable, melting oneâs heart.
Bluepool let out an astonished sigh. âSheâs become even prettier.â
Much prettier compared to Jean, their tribeâs female. Back then, the merfolk always boastfully claimed to possess the most beautiful female in the world.
When he saw Bai Qingqing, he was slapped in the face.
And with the appearance of Anâan, his face was slapped swollen.
âIf I hadnât been staying in the village all this while, I would definitely think that this is a female baby of some merfolk tribe.â Bluepool let out an emotional sigh. âBut, she seems to be growing really slowly.â
Both Winston and Parker were displeased to hear that. Anâan was growing bigger by the day, okay?
Winston immediately got to his feet with Anâan in his arms.
Panicking, Bluepool went to the edge of the waterhole and cried out, âEh, donât go.â
But the steel-hearted Winston simply said to Bai Qingqing, âWeâll be waiting for you at home. Itâs windy out here, Iâm afraid Anâan will catch a cold.â
âAh-ah!â Bai Qingqing responded in the water. Sensing the change in the water current, she thought to herself âOh no!â.
Bai Qingqing lowered her gaze and saw that a large school of little silver fishes that were even tinier than tadpoles were blown out of her mouth.
