Curtis glanced up at her, then picked up the stack of clothes beside him and spread them out, revealing a beautifully embroidered snow-white flower on the chest area.
“It was a success.”
Bai Qingqing really liked it, yet she felt embarrassed.
“What other requests do you have?” Curtis gazed at her with keen interest. “Your ideas can be made into reality. Whatever you want, feel free to let me know.”
“Cough! That’s it.” Bai Qingqing touched her nose, then lowered her head and walked to Curtis’s side. She picked up the new piece of clothing and admired it fondly.
Curtis stroked her head dotingly, then continued sewing the clothes.
…
The tiger beastmen were hardworking and had incredible speed and stamina. Moreover, since Winston was a four-striped beastman, a journey in the desert that would take others ten days to complete, he finished in five.
After he returned to the village, he rested for half a day, then diligently went to build the house again.
News of the tiger tribe’s aggressive acquisition of females spread throughout the land. Just as Parker had expected, the first to join their village was a group of eagle beastmen.
Arriving in succession, they didn’t merely hail from Sea Cliff, but came from all over the world, differing in their physiques as well.
But the ones with the strongest physiques were still those that previously dwelled in Sea Cliff.
Flying beastmen could be seen everywhere in the village, just as in the City of Beastmen. The eagle beastmen took it upon themselves to keep a watch over the village, and all of a sudden, the safety level of the village skyrocketed.
Hence, Winston sent out an even more powerful team, bringing more salt with them this time, to exchange for females in various lands.
By now, Bai Qingqing was six months into her pregnancy. With a heavy belly, her movements had slowed down considerably.
But still, she insisted on moving around every day. As human babies were bigger than baby animals, Bai Qingqing had a feeling that the delivery wouldn’t be as smooth as the previous two times.
“It’s so hot!”
Bai Qingqing fanned herself with a tree leaf, yet it did nothing to stop the tiny beads of perspiration from forming on her forehead. “Parker, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to soak in the water.”
Lying on his belly, Parker was panting like a dog, and even his tongue was lowered to the ground with dust coating it.
He shrunk it back and spat out the soil and dust in his mouth, then transformed into a human and said, “Okay, I’ll carry you back.”
“No need, I’ll walk by myself.” Bai Qingqing supported the back of her waist with one hand and fanned herself with a fan with the other as she shakily walked towards the waterhole.
Parker then plucked a large tree leaf and fanned her from the side.
This was the peak of the hot season, and the water level in the waterhole had decreased by the height of half a human. It was said that some rivers nearby had nearly turned into quagmires.
Back then, when the tiger tribe chose to set up a settlement here, it was because of this waterhole.
Bai Qingqing slid into the water with Parker’s help. The water had turned warm from being under the harsh sun. But still, it felt more cooling to soak in the water as compared to standing outside on the land. Parker had specially constructed a grass shelter for her up there, so she wasn’t exposed to the harsh sun rays.
With her big belly, Bai Qingqing nearly couldn’t float up, so she could only grab the grass next to the waterhole.
“Bluepool! Are you there?” Bai Qingqing shouted at the bottom of the waterhole.
Splash! Parker jumped down and swam two rounds, then said, “You wanna play with the cleansing fish again?”
Bai Qingqing splashed water at him and said with a broad beam, “Yeah. Seems like Bluepool’s not around this time. Next time, I guess.”
As she spoke, she gazed at the sun and said in a perplexed tone, “It’s such a hot day, even I am nearly turning into a dried human. I wonder what he’s doing out there? I’ve got to ask him next time.”
Parker swam to Bai Qingqing’s side, then suddenly dove into the water.
“Parker?” She turned around to look for him.
Suddenly, she felt her skirt being lifted. Bai Qingqing let out a yelp, following which she could sense Parker’s head pressed against her tummy.
Kicking her legs, Bai Qingqing said, “Hey, come up, it’s so itchy.”
