Parker gazed at her tummy before floating to the water surface feeling satisfied. With his arms around Bai Qingqing’s waist, he said, “I’ll go down to look for the cleansing fish.”
Bai Qingqing shook her head. “Forget it. We shouldn’t touch his things without his permission.”
“We’re helping him feed his pets. If he comes to know about it, he’ll only thank us. I’m going down now, be careful on your own.” With that, he dived into the depths of the waterhole once more.
Bai Qingqing tried hooking him with her leg but failed to do so. As such, she could only shout, “Be careful! It’s very deep! The spot where there is light is where Bluepool’s nest is.”
The water surface resumed its calm once more, while she was left wondering if Parker heard her or not.
Bai Qingqing stared at the water surface, and nearly a minute later, ripples formed upon it. Parker’s head finally bobbed up.
Seeing him taking deep breaths, Bai Qingqing exhaled in relief. “You made me so worried. Did you manage to find the cleansing fish?”
Parker smiled gleefully as he poked the water ball in his hands, forming yet another round of ripples on the water surface as a dense shoal of tiny silver fishes spread out.
Bai Qingqing cried out in delight, “Little silver fishes!”
Not afraid of humans, after the little silver fish spread out, they surrounded Parker and started pecking merrily at his body.
Parker shoved some of the water towards her. “Go over there and don’t crowd around me.”
“Be gentler. Be careful not to hurt them.” Bai Qingqing extended her legs with a smile, wanting to use her own body as bait to attract the fishes over.
Parker slowed down in his actions. Seeing that the fish were still swimming around his hands, he swam to Bai Qingqing’s side.
Indeed, the little silver fishes swam over. However, the majority of them still insisted on sticking by his side.
“Pff!” Bai Qingqing sputtered with laughter after staring at them for a moment. “Must be that you’re too dirty, which means more food for them. Hahaha…”
The youth soaked in the water was young and handsome, and his golden, furry leopard ears exuded a glow under the sun rays; one could even see the skin and thin blood vessels underneath.
After Bai Qingqing teased him, that pair of ears instantly flushed a shade of pink.
With a tense face, the only thing Parker managed to say in his defense was: “Males are all like this.”
He then transformed into a leopard and floated in the water with his back facing Bai Qingqing.
His golden fur spread out in the water like silk. Yet, the funny thing was that the shoal of little silver fishes continued squirming into his fur. At first glance, one might think that that was a cuck of leeches.
Bai Qingqing burst out laughing. Though he pretended not to care, his reddened ears betrayed his embarrassment.
After eating their fill, the little silver fishes started swimming away in small groups.
Anxious, Bai Qingqing shoved at him and urged, “Hurry and stop them. Don’t let them be eaten by other fishes.”
Roar~
Parker resignedly waved his limbs and went forth to stop the fishes. Because of these tiny tadpole-like creatures, they were now stuck in the water and unable to go anywhere else.
Just as Parker was prepared to send her to the shore first, Bluepool finally returned with a small deer that had just breathed its last.
“Eh? Herbivorous animal! Are you able to catch up to them now?” Bai Qingqing marveled in astonishment.
Bluepool removed the blue hair sticking to his face and said with his brows raised, “Nope. But I have found a method to catch prey.”
“What method is that?” Bai Qingqing curiously gazed at him.
After casting a glance at the leopard spinning circles in the water, Bluepool deliberately raised his voice and said, “I hide in a ponding area in the lake, and the prey will come to me themselves. Every day, countless prey come at my disposal, and I will just capture whatever tickles my fancy.”
“Ooh…” Bai Qingqing prayed that he wouldn’t evolve into an alligator.

Parker glanced at him.
Staring straight at Parker, Bluepool added, “Tell Curtis that I can hunt for prey on land now. Am I now qualified to be Bai Qingqing’s mate?”
