It was really windy up there, and it shook as the wind blew upon it. Seemed like it was designated to offer respite from the harsh heat during the hot season.
Parker, who had grown up in the City of Beastmen, ran up and down several times because he felt curious about such primitive houses.
Curtis scooped up Second from the first story and, upon seeing that Bai Qingqing was prepared to breastfeed them, hauled Third and Eldest away with a wave of his hand.
“Go and hunt,” Curtis said coldly to Parker.
Parker transformed into a leopard and went out as he was told.
Bai Qingqing said in a displeased tone, “Are you really not going to let me feed them?”
“Mm.” Curtis gave a succinct reply.
Bai Qingqing stroked her swollen chest. However, she didn’t dare to be too brazen in front of him. She pulled Curtis’s arm and shook it twice, then attempted to persuade him. “Let me feed them for two more days. At least don’t stop now. I ate a lot in the morning, and my breasts are full of milk.”
“Roar roar—”
The leopard cubs joined in with their roars, gazing at Curtis with pitiful looks identical to Bai Qingqing’s.
Staring at these three pairs of eyes that bore a striking resemblance to Bai Qingqing’s, Curtis felt his heart soften. He set down the leopard cubs and rummaged through his luggage to find two bowls.
“Squeeze it out for them to drink,” Curtis said.
Bai Qingqing’s mouth twitched. Could Parker have told Curtis about that embarrassing incident?
“Did Parker tell you that?” Bai Qingqing asked testingly.
“What?” Curtis looked puzzled.
Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief as she took the bowl from him. “Oh, it’s nothing. I’ll squeeze it out.”
Curtis walked to the entrance and blocked it with a pile of grass, instantly turning the interior so dim that human eyes couldn’t see a thing in the darkness.
Bai Qingqing felt for the bowl. She gave it a gentle squeeze and could feel that the milk had squirted elsewhere. As she shifted the bowl’s position, she said, “Leave a little gap, I can’t see anything.”
“I can.”
Curtis, making his way to Bai Qingqing’s side since God knows when, startled Bai Qingqing with his close proximity.
The bowl was shifted by a powerful force, and following that the sound of milk trickling into the bowls could be heard.
The uncomfortable Bai Qingqing slowly turned around and leaned against Curtis’s chest to avoid facing him, thus turning down the embarrassment a few notches.
“Ssss—” Curtis’s body pressed against Bai Qingqing’s back as he edged his lips to her ear. “Parker was around just now, and it wasn’t convenient for me to say it. You smell really good.”
Shua! Bai Qingqing exerted too much force and plenty of milk came squirting out, making loud and clear noises as they splattered into the bowl.
Bai Qingqing’s face flushed as she mumbled, “I think they smell the same.”
Goodness gracious, please don’t let Curtis say he had drunk her milk!
Ah! She suddenly felt that the atmosphere was kind of odd. Did he deliberately send Parker away?
Curtis rubbed against Bai Qingqing’s face. With no one around, the adoration in his voice had become more intense. “Finally, it’s just the two of us.”
“Cough… there’s still the babies.”
“Meow—”
The leopard cubs crouched next to Bai Qingqing made their existence known at the proper timing.
Bai Qingqing praised internally: Good job, babies.
As if sensing her silent compliment, the little cubs let out another two purrs.
Curtis set the filled bowl on the ground, then switched to an empty bowl and continued filling it up with milk.
The three leopard cubs hurriedly went up to the stone bowl. They lowered their heads and started licking away, and the purring instantly stopped.
The speechless Bai Qingqing ranted in her heart: This bunch of unfilial kids chose milk over their mother!
“You haven’t gone into heat since you gave birth to the cubs, have you?” asked Curtis.
“No,” Bai Qingqing replied honestly. “I heard that one wouldn’t have her period when she’s breastfeeding. Oh, ‘period’ is what you guys call going into heat. In our world, we call it ‘period.’ So long as I don’t stop breastfeeding, I probably won’t go into heat.”
