Cortis hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’ll go into hibernation during the winter season.”

Hibernation during winter was the main reason snake beastmen’s mates had a high mortality rate. He learned from the legacy that at least half of snake beastmen’s females died during the winter season.

Perhaps letting that leopard stay by Xiao Bai’s side was the right decision.

That was what Bai Qingqing thought too. She asked with uncertainty, “Then, do you find the water here cold? I’d like you to go into the water to help me retrieve something.”

Cortis sunk his tail into the water and curled it around a fish basket. With a splash sound, he raised it out of the water.

“This?”

“Right! This was what I was talking about.” Bai Qingqing happily grabbed the fish basket, then pointed in another direction and said, “There are four more. One there, one there, and two over there.”

Cortis needn’t even enter the water and only had to curl those baskets up with his tail. However, there was one basket that had been flattened.

Bai Qingqing shook the damaged fish basket. There were fishes inside, but they were long dead and the basket was giving off an awful stench.

“Why is it damaged?” Bai Qingqing said, feeling it was a pity.

Cortis was a little sheepish. Yesterday when he came, he seemed to have crushed something. Was this the thing he accidentally crushed?

“Don’t cry, Xiao Bai. I’ll help you make another one,” Cortis said.

“Never mind. This fish basket is great at catching fish, so I think four is enough.” Bai Qingqing shook the undamaged fish baskets, all of which seemed to be filled with fishes. By her rough approximation, it was at least double yesterday’s quantity.

After returning to the house, she poured out the fish and found that it was indeed more than double what she caught yesterday. What delighted her the most was seeing that several of her favorite lobsters were amongst the catch this time.

There were several small fishes with incomplete bodies, bitten by god-knows-what. Perhaps if they were to leave this basket in the water, fishes would be able to survive in it.
