“Ssss— It’s too tight. Loosen it up a little.” Bai Qingqing shook her leg and said.
The wolf fur was very warm, but the legs were a little slender, and it felt very uncomfortable when she wore them. this was especially when there were a few toes at the front, and her toes would bump against them if she wasn’t careful.
Parker said, “If it’s loose, the cold air will enter and your feet will be frozen.”
“Alright, then.” Bai Qingqing gave in under the threat from the cold.
After putting on her new shoes, Bai Qingqing got up and jumped a little. They felt a little strange.
“Let’s go quickly. I really want to know what that fruit syrup tastes like,” Bai Qingqing said with anticipation.
Parker looked at the skirt at his waist and couldn’t bear to take on his beast form. He turned and turned his back toward Bai Qingqing, saying, “I’ll carry you on my back.”
“En.” Bai Qingqing got onto Parker’s back, then turned to look at Winston, who was still seated on the ground. “You should make it quick too.”
Winston’s body inclined slightly and he opened his mouth, about to say something, when Parker spoke up first, “We need someone to look after the house.”
Hearing that, Winston sat back down properly again.
“Oh.” Bai Qingqing waved her hand at Winston. “Then we’ll be leaving.”
“En.” Winston gave Bai Qingqing a light smile.
Parker wasn’t pleased, and he carried Bai Qingqing, leaving quickly. It was only after walking for a distance that he asked her, “Why are you treating Winston so well? Do you like him?”
“Huh?” Bai Qingqing was stunned. Then, she knocked on Parker’s yellow-haired head. “This is basic courtesy.”
Parker snorted, feeling displeased, but still said, “I believe you.”
This gathering was over a meal, so females wouldn’t bring all their mates. All of them came with one or two of them. Like Bai Qingqing, they were also fully equipped and carried by the males, wrapped up thickly like bears, revealing only half of their small faces that had turned red from the cold.
Bai Qingqing and Parker had just arrived at the entrance when they saw the young wolf beastman Shuu, who was like a signpost, standing at the door.
“Qingqing!” When Shuu saw Bai Qingqing, his eyes lit up abruptly, and he walked over to them. “I’ve finally gotten to see you.”
It took Bai Qingqing a while to recall the wolf beastman’s name. “Shuu?”
It had been too long since they last met. She thought that Shuu had given up on pursuing her. However, it seemed that that was not the case.
Shuu’s eyes gleamed with intense elation to hear Bai Qingqing saying his name. Parker’s expression instantly turned ferocious and he bared his teeth toward Shuu. Shuu backed off one step, frightened. His gaze also became more restrained.
Parker propped Bai Qingqing up a little on his back and quickly entered the ape king’s castle. Shuu followed after the two of them, his fluffy wolf tail waving fervently behind him.
After entering the main hall, Bai Qingqing moved her legs to signal for Parker to put her down. She then assessed the main hall curiously. When she came here the other time, it was already dark outside and she wasn’t able to take a good look. It was only today that she noticed how extravagant the ape king’s castle was.
Although things were all made of stone, the infrastructure and decor in the ape king’s castle were all carved with complicated prints. They emitted a rustic historical aura.
The ape king walked toward Bai Qingqing with a few wolf beastmen following behind him. He unobtrusively threw a glance at Shuu, who was behind Bai Qingqing, and said, smiling, “You’re finally here. Quickly come in. It’s warm inside.”
“Alright.” Bai Qingqing smiled at the ape king politely and walked toward the room the ape king pointed to.
This room was very spacious, and there were many basins of charcoal fire set up around. It was a lot warmer inside, and even the stones were slightly warm. All the females sat on the ground, crossed legged and barefooted, each of them holding onto a fruit shell the size of a fist. There were also many children playing around next to them.
Bai Qingqing felt that the animal skin shoes that had been tied onto her feet were uncomfortable and quickly removed them.
