âSheâs basically fine now. Thereâs still some remnant poison, but I donât dare to go look for the scorpion tribe anymore. Just let Anâan slowly expel the poison.â After saying that, Bai Qingqing slid into the water. It felt very good to take a cold bath on a hot day. She hadnât managed to clean herself properly earlier, so she planned on doing a thorough cleaning now.
Bluepool had sneakily gone to the stone castle on a full moon night once. His heart wrenched up when he heard those heartbreaking cries. Hearing this, he sighed and said, âItâs fine that some of it has been neutralized.â
Bai Qingqing nodded happily.
âHey, call the little silverfish over.â Bai Qingqing couldnât wait to do a thorough cleaning of her entire body.
Bluepoolâs mouth opened âsilentlyâ. Not long later, a stretch of silver light rose from the bottom of the water, crowding around Bai Qingqing.
There must be ample âfoodâ for the little silverfish to be so enthusiastic. Bai Qingqingâs cheeks flushed up a little when she realized this.
To get rid of the awkwardness, she tried to look for a topic to talk about. âWhy donât you keep them in bubbles? Arenât you afraid that they will get eaten by bigger fish?â
As Bai Qingqing said this, she looked around. The number of big fish in the water had clearly surged. There were even fishes the length of oneâs arm eating aquatic plants on the surface of the water. Even when little silverfish went close to them, they just allowed them to do as they wished.
Bluepool said, âAfter adapting to this place for several months, the fishes here all realize the unique characteristic of the little silverfish and wonât eat them anymore.â
âWhat if they get hungry and eat them?â Bai Qingqing didnât dare to believe the self-control of fish.
Bluepool smiled and said, âThis is the rule. If any fish didnât abide by it, the little silverfish would slowly notice and stop helping them to clean their body.â
Bai Qingqing said in surprise, âThis works? Theyâre really smart.â
Bluepool smiled even brighter. âYouâre making it sound as if they are smarter than you.â
Beastmen didnât think of themselves as superior animals. To them, there was only the distinction between the strong and the weak. Therefore, they wouldnât consider themselves as being smarter than animals. Bluepool had taken Bai Qingqingâs words seriously and thus couldnât help but smile.
They only remembered dangerous elements, so why was that considered smart? Only females would think this since they didnât need to hunt.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, Bai Qingqing didnât manage to get Bluepoolâs train of thoughts. She thought that he was teasing her and rolled her eyes.
However, she felt a lot more assured to see him so relaxed.
It seemed that Bluepool didnât harbor feelings of love toward her. When he saw her, he felt happy as if he had met a friend, unlike how Parker and the others felt agitated toward her. Even Muir could pose a stark contrast against Bluepool.
Pop~ The leopard cubs struggled for quite a while before their claws finally burst the air bubble. Air gushed out from the water, releasing quite a loud sound.
The leopard cubs were completely soaked in water and were given a shock. They cried out instinctively, only to produce moans. They swung their limbs and put up an intense struggle.
They were given a bad scare, but they were brought up to the surface of the water at the next second. Their wet heads floated above the water and they kept on coughing.
Bai Qingqing swam up to them, her heart aching for them as she patted their backs. She also threw Bluepool a reproachful gaze.
Bluepool averted his gaze, feeling guilty.
âOh, right. Iâll remind you of one thing,â she suddenly said.
âMm?â
She assessed the surroundings and then said, âScorpions shouldnât know how to swim, right? You wonât be in any danger, but I should tell you about this first. In another few days, scorpion beastmen might come to invade us. You must be careful when going out to hunt.â
Bluepool didnât have a good impression toward scorpion beastmen. He frowned, his expression filled with disdain.
âI got it. But this time around, the females canât hide in here anymore. There isnât enough oxygen.â
