They didn’t dare to feed them a lot of water, stopping after two or three drips.
“So obedient~” Bai Qingqing felt very happy after helping the baby eagles.
Screech~
As though responding to her, the more energetic Right screeched after her sentence ended.
Left looked listless. Though he also screeched, he didn’t seem to do it purposefully, only randomly.
“Right?” Bai Qingqing called out testingly.
Screech~
Right stuck up his head and straightened his legs, before moving some distance in her direction.
Regardless of whether it was a coincidence, Bai Qingqing chose to believe that Right was responding to her. She beamed instantly.
Indistinct footsteps sounded from outside. This time Muir was cautious and said right away, “It should be Parker with the food.”
“It’s noon already?” Bai Qingqing gazed outside in shock, and only then did she realize the bright sun looming in the skies. Unknowingly, she had been squatting for half a day.
Before he even entered, Parker detected an unusual scent. Invigorated, he asked, “They’ve broken out of their shells?”
The next moment, he dashed into the tent and saw two fluffy little balls lying sprawled on the floor. He revealed an astonished expression.
“So weak!” Parker blurted out thoughtlessly.
Muir glanced at him and said blandly, “Your leopard cubs were equally weak when they were born.”
Parker looked at him in rage. “You should be thankful that I didn’t steal your eggs!”
Muir: “…”
Could it be that this leopard was still thinking of taking revenge for causing him to miss the birth of his cubs? But he hadn’t done that to stop Parker from seeing his cubs’ birth back then.
Bai Qingqing: “…”
Seems like the leopard cubs’ act of stealing those eggs was inherited from Parker.
There was something Parker didn’t say. There were another two reasons why he didn’t steal the eggs.
Firstly, he couldn’t be bothered to incubate them.
Secondly, even if he had the strength to do so, he didn’t wish to let Muir benefit from it.
Seeing Bai Qingqing engrossed in staring at the baby eagles, Parker circled her waist and lifted her. “Let’s go eat.”
“Aiyah, let me look a little longer,” Bai Qingqing said, struggling to break free. Only when she saw that the baby eagles had left her vision did she stop.
She obediently squatted next to the rock that served as a makeshift table, then speedily ate her food before running back to the nest and laid down on her stomach.
She wasn’t so attentive towards the leopard cubs, the female baby, nor baby snakes that she gave birth to in the past. For the cubs and An’an, because she had to breastfeed them, they were glued to her at all times, so even without paying particular attention to them she could sense them very clearly. As for the baby snakes, they were too cold and lazy, making it difficult for her to feel close to them.
Now that she thought about it, it was truly convenient to give birth to baby eagles. The gestation period was short, and there was no need for breastfeeding. Furthermore, they were so adorable. It was indeed the best model of giving birth.
Even Parker watched beside her for quite a while before packing up to leave.
After filling one’s stomach with food, the large flow of blood towards the stomach for digestion made one feel sleepy.
Lying on her stomach in the nest, amid the baby eagles’ tender screeches, Bai Qingqing’s eyelids started drooping, and finally, they closed completely.
Muir waited several minutes after she fell asleep before gently lifting her. Despite his carefulness, he still worried that she would be disrupted in her sleep, letting out a murmur.
“It’s uncomfortable to sleep on your stomach. You should lie on your back,” Muir said in a lowered voice.
A male’s voice was deep, to begin with. When it was deliberately lowered, it had a hypnotic effect. Bai Qingqing closed her eyes at ease and fell deeper asleep.
Muir covered her with a blanket. With light entering the tent’s open entrance, Bai Qingqing subconsciously burrowed her head into the blanket.
Muir then transformed into his beast form and spread his wings beside her head, and only then did her brows smoothed.
