The muscles next to Muir’s beak raised upward, breaking into a light smile. If it wasn’t because Bai Qingqing was standing right next to him, she wouldn’t have noticed it.
Bai Qingqing smiled as well, and the awkward atmosphere lightened a little.
The two of them walked alongside each other and headed back to the bedroom. Bai Qingqing lowered her head and pretended to seriously coax An’an to sleep, no longer feeling uneasy. Muir also felt a lot more relaxed. He returned to the grass nest he had been sleeping in previously, lay on it, and closed his eyes to rest.
During the rainy season, all the males had nothing to do, and when they got bored, they’d try to find things to do. It could also be because of this that the rainy season became the period when the females went into heat.
Not long later, Parker and Winston, who had nothing to do, came back. This time around, Bai Qingqing didn’t go into heat. The entire family just sat at home, feeling bored with nothing to do.
An’an had already fallen asleep. Bai Qingqing placed her on the bed and tucked her in under the blankets. She then nudged Parker and said softly, “Let’s go and look at the Chinese wisteria flowers again.”
No one knew when such a beautiful scene would disappear. It’d be a waste to not see enough of it.
Parker felt elated to see that Bai Qingqing liked that place so much, but he steeled his heart and said, “No, the rain is too heavy. You have just recovered and mustn’t go out.”
Bai Qingqing instantly felt dejected and pouted in dissatisfaction.
Muir quietly looked at them. When the “Chinese wisteria flowers” were mentioned, he secretly took note of it and thought of how he must bring Qingqing to look at them in the future, not letting her wear such a disappointed expression.
“Let’s make clothes, then.” Bai Qingqing looked toward the wooden chest used to store animal skins. Winston immediately got up, flipped through the chest, then turned and said helplessly, “There aren’t any animal skins left.”
“Huh?” Bai Qingqing’s face turned pale. They couldn’t even make clothing. This heavy rainy season was going to be extremely boring.
However, what the males had on their minds wasn’t that it was going to be boring. Parker also frowned and said, “There are behemoth corpses, so there’s no need to worry about food. But without new animal skin, you won’t have new clothes to wear this year.”
Bai Qingqing pounced into his arms weakly and mumbled, “It’s fine. I just want to find something to do.”
She had just passed her growth spurt when she first came to the beastman world and thus hadn’t grown much in height over the past few years. After having stayed in the village for two years, she had accumulated many good clothes, so it didn’t matter if she couldn’t get new clothing.
Although it didn’t matter for Bai Qingqing, both Parker’s and Winston’s hearts ached for her, feeling that they had made her suffer.
Muir’s eyes lit up, and he let out a cry at a good timing, attracting the gazes of everyone in the room.
Winston threw him an inquiring gaze and quickly thought of something, a hint of joy flashed past in his eyes. “That’s right. After Muir’s wing recovers, he can head to places that are further away to hunt. Qingqing can still get to wear new clothes this year.”
A smile also appeared on Parker’s face, and his gaze became less cold when he looked at Muir. It wasn’t bad to have an additional flying beastman in the family.
Bai Qingqing threw a glance at Muir, her face heating up, and she quickly changed the topic. “I want to make paper and draw all the good-looking things.”
When she saw the Chinese wisteria flowers back then, the thought of drawing came to her. Back then, she felt that it was too difficult, and this thought disappeared very quickly. After settling down for a few days, she suddenly had a great ambition and immediately wanted to put it into action.
Anyway, she had plenty of time, and it was more meaningful to use them to make paper instead of just letting them go to waste. There were a lot of trees in this world, and there was no fear that they’d destroy the environment.
After paper was successfully made, the beastmen would be able to pass down the knowledge down the generations, and it’d be of great help to the beastmen world.
