Parker was licking his claws, and from time to time, he would dab his claws in the water and wash his face.
Bai Qingqing squeezed out of the bubble with her cubs and walked towards him.
“Parker, how did it go?” she asked as she sat down next to him.
Seeing as there weren’t any females around, Parker transformed into a human and squatted on the floor. He said, “The wolf beastmen escaped. To guard against their return, the village decided to let the females stay in the water for tonight.”
Bai Qingqing nodded, then asked, “Where’s Winston? How come I don’t see him?”
Parker’s lips curled. Every time he smiled this way, Bai Qingqing knew that someone was going to be at a disadvantage.
Because that someone at a disadvantage was usually her.
“Winston let them go deliberately, then secretly followed them.” Parker’s eyes raised slightly at the corners, exuding a danger in his smile. “I want to see which village is stirring up trouble. I’ll make sure they won’t have an easy life from now onwards.”
Recalling what happened back then, Bai Qingqing got mad as well. They were in the midst of you-know-what when they were interrupted.
Moreover, those wolf beastmen had chosen to launch a sneak attack when everyone was doing that you-know-what.
Damn, how wicked!
There was the intense stench of blood in the air, but no corpses were seen anywhere. Bai Qingqing knew that the male beastmen had taken care of the corpses.
She didn’t dare to ask too much and merely asked about the situation with the tiger tribe. “Did anyone on our side die?”
Unwilling for Bai Qingqing to endure these pressures, Parker merely said, “Only a few of our own died. Let’s go home. You must be tired.”
“Mm.” Bai Qingqing looked at the tiger beastmen around them, then edged closer to his ear and whispered, “Did a new tiger beastman come? Is it that one?”
Parker cast a dubious glance at her. “Why are you asking?”
“Aiyah!” Bai Qingqing said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. Just tell me which one it is.”
Parker said, “Indeed, we have a newly arrived helper who seems quite capable. There.”
He raised his chin in a certain direction.
Bai Qingqing looked over, but along her line of vision, no tiger beastman appeared particularly striking. She was about to ask again when, in the darkness, she suddenly spotted a pair of green glowing eyes in the forest.
She was first taken aback, but very quickly, she realized that it was a tiger beastman, making her nerves ease.
“Is it him? The one in the forest?”
Beastmen were extremely sensitive towards gazes, and Bai Qingqing also didn’t look over in a restrained manner. She had just looked over when that tiger beastman looked back at her.
Bai Qingqing hurriedly lowered her head.
“How did you find out when you were in the water all this while?” asked Parker.
“Molly told me. He’s the male who used to be her spouse.” Bai Qingqing whispered very softly as she pulled Parker and said, “Let’s stop talking about it. Lest he hears us.”
Parker was relieved to hear that this fellow wasn’t his rival in love. He said, “No wonder. I had thought there was something odd about him. Let’s go back.”
“Mm.”
Bluepool swam up with the water wheel in his arms. Bai Qingqing held back Parker and asked him to press the water wheel into place before they went back to their tree hole with their cubs.
The minute they entered the tree hole, Parker felt irritated.
“Why are there so many unfamiliar scents?”
He placed Bai Qingqing on the second story, then transformed into a leopard and rubbed his body all over the house maniacally.
He seemed to be treating his fur as a painting brush, rubbing back and forth against the walls. After marking his scent over the existing smells on the first story, Parker followed the trail of the smells, went to the first story, and repeated the same actions.
He was about to go back to rest when he suddenly detected a foreign scent again. He sneezed and crawled up to the third story, then did the same thing all over again.
Bai Qingqing emulated him and wrinkled her nose. She then shook her head helplessly. Seems like a human being’s dull sense of smell had its benefits—she didn’t have to undergo the same torment Parker did at times like this.
After rubbing away the scents in the house, Parker ran out and rolled around the floor, then came back covered with dust.
