Chapter 194: Catching Adultery

In this short period of time, the ape king’s countenance turned ghastly pale like that of a dead man. Large sweat droplets appeared on his face and his body wavered as if he was going to fall.
The ape king raised one hand and waved it, saying in a soft voice, “Let’s go.”
“Yes.” The wolf king noticed that the ape king was very weak. He picked up the bamboo umbrella at the side to shelter him from the rain. Before he left, he threw a sharp glance at Curtis.
With them both being four-striped beastman, Curtis wouldn’t ignore the wolf king. However, he withdrew his gaze after a casual glance. He then bent over to raise his skirt to the waist, and his snake tail turned back into legs after a few swings.
Parker was extremely angry as well. After the ape and wolf left, he closed the door with a bang.
“This old guy must be thinking of creating a chance for Shuu,” Parker said furiously.
Bai Qingqing put on her clothes while walking toward the bedroom. “Don’t be angry. We can just ignore them.”
“En, thankfully you’re pregnant with babies now, so he doesn’t have the reason to forcibly give you males,” Parker said proudly, suddenly feeling a little thankful that snake beastmen had such great reproductive capabilities.
“The ape king said that the babies are very healthy.” Bai Qingqing laughed happily, then sat down on the grass pile. She suddenly recalled something and looked toward Curtis. “Oh, right. Curtis, in the past, you said that you were going to bring me to the seaside. Are there merfolks at the seaside? Have you seen the merfolks’ females?”
“I have,” Curtis said simply, then picked up a piece of jerky from the stone bowl, passing it to her. “Have more meat.”
After standing for a while, it was true that Bai Qingqing was hungry. She took it and ate, asking excitedly, “How are they? Are female merfolks beautiful?”
They were merfolks! She really wanted to see them for herself. She wondered if the merfolk tribe’s females had fishtails.
Parker also looked at Curtis curiously. He had also joined the team sent to the seaside to trade salt. It was true that the male merfolks had beautiful appearances, but as the ape king had said, they protected their females very well. No beastmen were allowed near the island that the females lived at.
To think that Curtis had made his way onto the merfolk island? He was really amazing.
“En,” Curtis replied indifferently, raising his head and meeting Bai Qingqing’s big and shimmery eyes. He couldn’t help but reach out his hand and stroke her face. “You look the best.”
Curtis’s tone sounded as if he was just commenting on the weather, but it gave off a truthful feeling as if he was saying this from the bottom of his heart. His icy-cold fingers rubbed against Bai Qingqing’s face carefully, as if recalling the exaggerated freckled face he had seen on their first encounter.
Bai Qingqing’s heartbeat palpitated, and it didn’t take long for a layer of flush to appear on her face. She ate the jerky, not saying anything.
Parker let out a snort and said to Bai Qingqing, “He must have gone to the merfolk island to snatch females.”
“No,” Curtis immediately said, looking at Bai Qingqing’s expression nervously.
“Then why did you go to the merfolk island?” Parker continued to ask, feeling as excited as if he was catching adultery.
If it was some other topic, Curtis wouldn’t pay Parker any heed. However, he had to explain this matter. He looked at Bai Qingqing and said, “I only went to take a look.” As Curtis said that, he threw a threatening glance toward Parker.
The fur on Parker’s head and tail stood up, but he summoned his courage and was about to say more. At this moment, Bai Qingqing finally couldn’t hold back her laughter. She laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled slightly.
“I believe you.” Bai Qingqing looked at Curtis with smiling eyes. Giving how strong Curtis was, if he wanted a female, he should be able to catch one easily. He wouldn’t remain single even into his forties. Since that was the case, then it must be because he was used to doing things as he pleased.
Curtis heaved a big sigh of relief, no longer paying Parker any heed.
Parker buried the entire sweet potato leave under the shade of the roof, washed the sweet potatoes he had dug out, and laid them out on the ground. He then started a fire and started cooking meat.
