The thing Bai Qingqing felt most satisfied with this stone house was the fact that there were two rooms, which made it convenient for her to bathe. When Parker was in the bedroom, she would bathe in the central room. When Parker was in the central room, she would bathe in the bedroom.
As for Parker’s occasional peeking from a dark spot, Bai Qingqing had grown used to it, so she simply ignored it now. In any case, she always bathed with her back facing the bedroom door.
But today, Cortis was in the bedroom, and Parker had slyly stuck around in the central room.
Bai Qingqing didn’t dare order Cortis, so she could only instruct Parker. “I want to shower. You go in.”
Parker said, “I don’t want to stay in the same room with the snake. Let’s sleep in this room today.”
The helpless Bai Qingqing was prepared to bathe with her back facing Parker when she suddenly heard “swoosh” sounds next to her.
Right away, she knew that was the friction sounds Cortis’s body made against the ground.
Indeed, the next second Parker was heard letting out an agonizing cry.
“Roar!”
Parker was tossed into the bedroom. In half-beast form, Cortis stood at the door and said to Bai Qingqing, “Go ahead and bathe.”
Bai Qingqing was speechless. But you’re still here. How is it any different from just now?
Alright, there was a difference. That was, Cortis had already observed her naked body before and likely wouldn’t peek.
Hence, Bai Qingqing removed her clothes and started bathing.
Cortis lowered his head and continued mending his animal skin skirt. The fur of this animal skin skirt was a little thick, so it took quite some strands of hair to mend. In order to use fewer strands of hair, he mended it very slowly.
Now, there was a leopard vying for his female with him. His beast form wasn’t as likable as the leopard’s in the eyes of females, so he had to protect well his human form advantage—this head of red and long hair was perhaps the thing that attracted females most about him.
Parker, who was forced to stay in the bedroom, gnashed his teeth in anger. Yet, no matter how furious he was, he was no match for the snake. He retrieved some clean cotton from the box and meticulously tore them into long shreds.
“Ssss—” Cortis suddenly flicked out his tongue. He raised his head and walked towards her.
“You’re injured?” Cortis anxiously looked at the naked Bai Qingqing from head to toe.
Bai Qingqing bent over, her hand holding the towel froze in mid-air, not sure whether she should cover her chest with it or continue bathing.
“Why… did you come here?”
Cortis flicked out his tongue again, and his gaze shifted to the pile of clothes Bai Qingqing set aside. The bloodstains on the cotton amidst her clothes gave Cortis the answer he was looking for.
Delighted, Cortis excitedly grabbed Bai Qingqing’s shoulders. “You’ve started going into heat?”
Forced to face Cortis, Bai Qingqing used her arms to block her chest. “I guess so.”
“She was pregnant with your babies!” Parker suddenly butted into the conversation. He also walked into the central room. “But not anymore.”
“Babies?” Cortis turned his head in doubt.
Bai Qingqing’s body froze. Great, both of them came in. Why did they have to talk about this when she was showering? So awkward.
Cortis glanced at Bai Qingqing’s expression and instantly understood what was going on. His lips arched into a slight smile and he tapped his cold finger on Bai Qingqing’s nose. “You’re so clever.”
It was too dark in the house. Although Bai Qingqing couldn’t quite see Cortis’s expression, she could sense his relief.
I guess he’s glad I kept his secret method of becoming mates with someone.
“You’re not angry? We made her abort your babies,” Parker said, feeling strange.
“I don’t care… In any case, we will have babies very soon.” Cortis raised Bai Qingqing’s chin and asked gently, “Right?”
Bai Qingqing smiled awkwardly. “Hur hur…”
Parker’s fur exploded. He raged. “She should be conceiving my cubs next! It’s my turn! It’s my turn!”
