Chapter 29 - Strange Fabric (1/2)

Reaching out to feel it, the fabric felt cold and soft to the touch, like silk. The surface was uneven as if there were prints on it. Bai Qingqing rubbed it with two fingers and found that the fabric was quite resilient—she had a feeling this fabric wasn’t silk as it didn’t snag as easily.

“I wonder who left this behind. I’ll bring it back and ask Parker. Perhaps someone from the tribe lost it and an animal brought it here.”

Bai Qingqing carried the stack of cloth and found to her surprise that, although it felt soft to the touch, it had quite a substantial weight—like it was laden with lead.

With great effort, Bai Qingqing finally managed to crawl out of the cave, but she ended up with mud all over her body, and now she also had that weird and damp stench from the hole on her.

It was only then that she got a proper look at the cloth in her hands—it was white like snow and flawless, covered with dense scale-like prints all over, which explained the uneven texture she had felt earlier.

What a strange cloth. She had never seen such fabric in the modern ages. She found it unbelievable that the beastman had such advanced fabric-weaving techniques.

Bai Qingqing didn’t mull over this for too long, simply running back with the cloth.

When she got back to Parker’s wooden house, Bai Qingqing saw that the entire house was decorated with little white flowers—Baby’s breath perhaps—everywhere as if this was a greenhouse.

A leopard was rolling around the floor like a lunatic, oblivious of oneself.

Bai Qingqing, who thought she walked into the wrong house, hurriedly apologized. “Sorry, I walked into the wrong house.”

After retreating several steps though, Bai Qingqing glanced left and right and realized that nope, this was indeed Parker’s house!

Walking in once more, Bai Qingqing saw her canvas bag hanging on the wall, which now had several sprigs stuck into it. She was now certain this was Parker’s house.

With his all fours up in the air, the leopard purred when it caught sight of the inverted Bai Qingqing. His eyes lit up instantly and with a roll, he got up on his feet.
