Not a male present wasn’t envious.
Their king’s beastman life was too perfect.
He was strong, his mate loved him and even gave birth to a female child for him.
He was really a winner of life!
Parker also sensed the atmosphere in the iron-smelting room and instantly felt jealous. He took Bai Qingqing’s hand and said, “Let’s go!”
Bai Qingqing stumbled a little from his tug and replied with an “Oh.” She then followed him while waving to Winston.
“Goodbye, Winston!” Bai Qingqing turned and gave Winston a bright smile.
The background was just white snow, pure and romantic. It formed an intoxicating portrait together with the female waving her hand and smiling.
Even the male standing next to her didn’t look as detestable anymore.
Of course, when Winston was looking, he’d only automatically switch that male to himself.
Winston couldn’t help but imitate Bai Qingqing’s action and raised his hand. However, Bai Qingqing had turned and ran off, holding Parker’s hand, leaving behind only laughter.
He put down his hand unnaturally, walking toward the stone castle in huge strides amidst all the envious gazes.
“The snow here is really thick!” Bai Qingqing’s legs sank into the snow and amazingly sat onto it while still standing.
Thankfully, her animal skin clothing was good at keeping her warm. In addition to the fact that she had been moving, she felt a little hot.
Parker said, “I said that I’ll carry you, but you didn’t want that.”
“I’m just out to play. What’s the point of having you carrying me?”
This was the third cold season she was spending here, and she was considered to have some experience. When she saw that a piece of bark had fallen off a tree not far away, she said loudly, “Parker, go help me bring that bark over here. I’ll tie it onto my legs to walk.”
Parker was about to go over when a few leopard cries rang out.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Winston had gone home, so they came searching for them based on their scents.
They ran very quickly. Before they sank into the snow, their bodies would move forward, just like stone skipping.
Bai Qingqing let out a “Wow.” “It’s no wonder that you guys don’t have much traces on you despite going out every day.”
“Children! Bring that piece of bark over here!”
“Howl!”
All of them fought to reply, then ran even faster. Their legs moved so quickly that they were like wheels, and only afterimages could be seen.
The one running at the very front was Third, whose body was lightest. He seemed as if he was going to fly up each time before his legs had landed on the snow.
When Third got near to the bark, his body sank, and he jumped up to bite onto it.
Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but cheer inside. Beautiful!
But after the joy, came the sorry. Third wasn’t able to break off the bark with one attempt. Instead, he ended up hanging onto the tree.
He dangled in the air, looking like a figurine keychain on a bag.
Bai Qingqing was speechless.
“Wuu wuu wuu—” Third bit onto the bark and cried out anxiously.
“Howl!”
Eldest and Second, who were almost tied, cried out in mockery. Both of them jumped in unison and bit onto the two sides next to Third respectively.
Under the three leopard cubs’ collective effort, the bark finally gave way and was bitten off.
With a “pfft!” sound, the three leopard cubs disappeared into the ground. There was only a piece of bark piercing into the snow.
On a more careful look, one would be able to see the lower chins at the bottom of the bark—they were still biting onto it and not letting go.
“Hahahaha…” Bai Qingqing burst out laughing so hard that she had to hold onto her stomach.
Low bellows rang out from the direction of the tree bark. It was moving to the left and right.
The leopard cubs were fighting over it in the snow.
Parker lifted Bai Qingqing from the snow, carrying her with one arm while saying sharply, “Quickly bring the bark over!”
“Howl—”
They became spirited and quickly crawled out, bringing the bark to their mommy together.
