Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1164: You Can’t Afford to Hurt a Plant-Eating Leopard (3)

The leopard cubs’ expressions instantly became complicated and extremely distorted.

Bai Qingqing swore that she had never seen leopards with such lively expressions. Even Parker suddenly felt guilty.

Did that really taste so horrible?

As a leopard beastman with an intense sense of curiosity, while everyone had their eyes on the cubs, Parker also popped a strand of the wild vegetable into his mouth. Thoughts of leaving it for Qingqing, with no one allowed to snatch it, were all thrown out of his mind. Wasn’t the reason the cubs were so gluttonous because they had inherited his genes?

When the wild vegetable entered his mouth, Parker’s expression became like this: (⊙-⊙)…

Why is there such strange food in this world? Does Qingqing really like to eat this? I don’t believe it.

Seeing the cubs’ agonizing expressions, Bai Qingqing’s heart ached badly. She got up and squatted down next to them, patting Third’s head, and said, “If you don’t like it, just spit it out. Don’t force it.”

In the end, Third’s throat rolled and he opened his mouth. It was clean inside, but it emitted a fresh cold vegetable salad taste. There were no hints of it being broken down by saliva at all.

Bai Qingqing’s heart ached even more and she rubbed his head helplessly. He turned and glared at Parker. “Look at how you’ve bullied the children!”

Parker was planning to secretly spit out the vegetables in his mouth and didn’t expect Qingqing to suddenly look over. In order to cover up, he immediately swallowed the vegetable. He instantly found it a little hard to control his expression.

However, he was a mature beastman, after all, and had strong control. He managed to control his facial muscles that were almost going to twitch, causing his expression to look even more solemn than normal.

However, it was impossible for him to speak normally. That terrifying taste kept on lurking in his mouth, not dissipating even after a very long time. To prevent himself from losing control, Parker grabbed some barbecued meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and started swallowing the food.

After finishing that mouthful of wild vegetables, the cubs ran to the water basin on the floor and took a few licks before returning to the food basin and starting to eat fiercely.

Bai Qingqing looked at the cubs and then at Parker, finding it strange. They really looked like father and sons. Everything they did was so alike.

However, it made sense that the cubs were eating meat to wash away the taste of the wild vegetables, but why was it that Parker was suddenly eating so fiercely as well?

Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but throw a suspicious glance at the wild vegetable dish. She didn’t notice any changes to its amount and didn’t think too deeply into it.

Due to this plate of wild vegetables, both Bai Qingqing and An’an ate more food than usual. They even had the appetite to eat more meat.

The interesting thing was that all the leopards in the family also had a better appetite than usual. Parker was no exception. This made Bai Qingqing even more suspicious about him. However, with him refusing to admit it, there was nothing she could do.

…

After being laid out to dry for three days and three nights, the papers were basically formed. It was just that, as they were in the heavy rainy season, the air was humid, to begin with. No matter how long the papers were left out, they couldn’t dry completely. The humidity level was very high.

In the end, they had to add a fire basin in the room they used to dry paper in, turning it into a drying room, keeping them there for another day and night.

When Bai Qingqing got up in the morning, she saw Muir, who had been keeping watch during the night. He was moving firewood into the paper-drying room, not looking the slightest tired even though he hadn’t slept for the entire night. This showed how strong males’ bodies were.

“Good morning. You must be tired. Go on and sleep. There’s Parker and me here,” Bai Qingqing said.

Muir’s expression softened after seeing her. He lowered his head and looked at his mate who reached his chest level, his voice emitting strong love, “I’m not tired.”

Girls were sharp toward feelings, so how could Bai Qingqing not notice Muir’s love? Such intense feelings made her feel both happy and at a loss. She made him put the firewood down and then pushed him toward the main hall.
