Bai Qingqing shook her head and said, âIf all of us were to leave, leaving him behind, Iâm afraid that heâd be heartbroken.â
Parker let out a snort, feeling displeased. âHeâs already treating you in this manner, so why do you still care about him?â
But the more bad things Parker said about him, the more Bai Qingqing felt like telling Curtis.
The reason she was hesitant was also the same reasons as what Parker said. With Parker saying them out loud, it was like she was facing the inner devil in her heart. Therefore, she instinctively became more inclined toward Curtisâs side.
âYou must think this through properly. If Curtis doesnât agree, we wonât know what heâll do.â Parker said.
Bai Qingqing looked at Anâan, who was grinding her teeth as if there werenât anyone else around and planted a kiss on her forehead. âI wonât let Curtis harm Anâan.â
Neither of them spoke for a while, and the silence went on for very long before Bai Qingqing said again, âLet me think about it. You can go back to forging. Iâll make the decision tonight.â
Parker rubbed her head and said, âDonât be too troubled. Iâll support you no matter what you want to do,â
âEn.â Bai Qingqing felt very touched and circled one arm around Parkerâs neck, pulling his head down and kissing on his lips.
Parkerâs face instantly heated up. He then deepened the kiss.
The kiss ended with Parker breathing heavily. His skinâs temperature was higher than when he had just come out from the iron-smelting room.
âYou... are you in heat again?â Parker panted heavily and asked.
Bai Qingqing touched her swollen lips from the kissing, her heart tightening up. âThat canât be, right?â
It had only been over six months since she had given birth to Anâan. She hadnât stopped breastfeeding her, either. Usually, her period shouldnât be coming, right?
However, the period was hard to fathom. It could really be that she was starting to ovulate again. Beastmenâs sense of smell was very sharp. Given how Parker was so easily aroused, there was a very high chance that her period was coming again.
Parker sniffed Bai Qingqing and couldnât help but gulp, turning his head away with great difficulty. He took in a few breaths of fresh air and then said with a hoarse voice, âYour scent is very alluring.â
I must hold on! We mustnât mate! Itâll be bad if Qingqing gets pregnant with a female child.
âAhh! I donât want to go into heat!â Bai Qingqing said in annoyance. She walked over to a big tree that was like a water tower and knocked against it.
A red patch quickly appeared on her forehead. Bai Qingqing knocked against it again, but this time, she knocked against a hot palm.
âParker?â
Parker said, amused, âEveryone else wishes to go into heat every day, but things are different for our family. Going into heat is a troublesome thing instead.â
âAhh, it is troublesome! Over in my world, there arenât girls who donât detest this,â Bai Qingqing said.
However, after having come to the beastman world for three years, the number of times her period came was easily countable. She was really lucky!
âItâs just nice that the white cotton is blooming. Iâll go pick some for you,â Parker said.
Bai Qingqing said, âPick more. Pick enough for one year.â
âAlright.â Parker took Anâan from her arms and played with her. He frowned and said, âSheâs ignoring me as well. Shall I send the two of you back?â
Bai Qingqing shook her head. âI want to bring Anâan out for a walk. Sheâll feel stuffy if sheâs cooped up at home.â
âEn. Iâll be leaving, then.â Parker returned Anâan to her and then headed back home.
Bai Qingqing looked around. She had no idea where the leopard cubs had gone, so she could only go look for Molly.
She had just arrived at Mollyâs place when she heard wailing sounds coming from inside. Bai Qingqing was very scared and quickly carried Anâan on her back and left.
She walked aimlessly around the village and unknowingly came to the cave the little snake lived in.
âLittle snake?â
Bai Qingqingâs call resonated in the spacious, dark, and humid cave.
