Curtis was obviously implying she had done a bad job. Bai Qingqing pouted unhappily and stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, then spent the entire time heading downstairs chewing it.
When she swallowed that piece of meat, it was still nearly in its complete form, making Bai Qingqing choke and burp a few times.
Parker had returned too. The animal fats had solidified on his way back, so he closed the clams together and transformed into a leopard before carrying it back, resulting in the aroma of oil lingering on his body.
The moment he entered Bai Qingqing made him take a shower.
After taking a shower, on the way back, Parker ran into his cubs, who sprinted off immediately at the sight of him.
Roar? Parker cast a confused glance at them. The moment he got home, he asked Bai Qingqing about it.
âWhy are our cubs so scared of me today?â Parker gazed at his arms. âDo I look very imposing today?â
Bai Qingqing said, âDid you run into them?â
âMm. The moment they saw me they ran away.â
Feeling amused and annoyed at the same time, Bai Qingqing said, âThatâs because they got into trouble and are afraid you would wallop them.â
She then told him about the disastrous situation at home.
Parker wrinkled his nose and crumpled his face into a bun instantly.
âI was wondering why thereâs an odd stench in our home.â Parker let out a low growl from his throat, removed his skirt, then transformed into a leopard and sprinted out.
âHey! I told you not to transform into a leopard in the village!â
Bai Qingqing hurriedly gave chase, but Parker had sprinted off into the distance. Ahead of him, three half-grown leopards maniacally fled for their lives.
Shaking her head helplessly, Bai Qingqing then heard the abrasion sounds behind. Without even having to turn her head around, she knew it was Curtis.
âLetâs set off tomorrow,â said Bai Qingqing.
Curtis grabbed her hand and walked out.
âMm.â
Watching the cubs scurrying around the village with Parker hot on their tails, Bai Qingqing couldnât help but smile. âLetâs not bring along the leopard cubs. Itâll be safer for them to remain in the village. I wonder if the tribal head will agree to help look after them.â
âIâm sure he will,â Curtis said with certainty.
The duo walked to the tree hole where the tribal head resided, and Bai Qingqing went straight to the point about her intent.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The tribal head chuckled and said without hesitation, âOf course. Youâre His Majestyâs partner, so we will naturally look after your offspring. You can ask them to eat at our place every day. I can still afford to feed a few leopard cubs.â
Despite his burly build, when he smiled, the tribal head exuded an amicable feel and not a hint of the ferocity of wild beasts.
Bai Qingqing said gratefully, âThank you so much. Weâll return your food when we get back.â
âNo need. His Majesty has given us way too many things. This insignificant help is nothing compared to that,â said the tribal head.
After exchanging some pleasantries, the satisfied Bai Qingqing prepared to leave. However, Curtis didnât look like he was leaving.
The tribal head asked, âIs anything else the matter?â
Curtis said, âI wish to borrow some beastmen to protect Snow.â
The tribal head hesitated for a moment.
Bai Qingqing immediately said, âThereâs no need for this. Weâll be causing them too much trouble.â
âYour safety is what matters most,â Curtis said resolutely.
The tribal head gave it some thought, then opened his mouth and let out a deep tiger growl from his throat.
Roar!
The roar of the tiger caused the ground to tremble. The young tiger beastmen in the village, as well as several males who didnât understand tiger language, came running over.
âBai Qingqing wishes to go to the desert and needs some protectors. Any volunteers?â The tribal head asked loudly.
Roar!
The crowd of beastmen instantly responded vigorously. There wasnât a bachelor beastmen who wasnât excited to hear this. Those who already had spouses didnât make a sound, leaving the opportunity to the young beastmen.
Curtisâs gaze swept over them, before finally landing on the eagle beastmen who didnât show any response.
