As the sun started shining more brightly, the fog dissipated.

Parker took out an ax and placed it by his waist on his skirt. He said to Bai Qingqing, “It’s going to rain for a long time during the rainy season. I’ll go out and chop us some firewood.”

Bai Qingqing said, “Chop more willow branches. I’ll come with you.”

If she went along too, she could help to carry more firewood. She heard that during the rainy season, it would rain heavily continuously for three months. They would surely need to stock up firewood. This was no minor task.

Parker smiled and said, “Of course, come along if you wish.”

The two of them went out the door, with Cortis quietly following behind.

Walking in the center, Bai Qingqing could sense other beastmen sizing her up. She turned around, looked at Parker and Cortis next to her, and realized with a shock that she was now no different from the females here—going out with an entourage.

The three of them went out of the City of Beastmen and came to a thick forest.

Parker took out his ax and started chopping the firewood. Cortis glanced at his surroundings, then removed his skirt and transformed into his half-beast form, using his tail to curl around a willow branch, snapping it just like that, causing the trees to shake and make loud rustling noises.

The trees in this forest weren’t very big and had plenty of branches, which made it convenient for chopping firewood. But many thin and tough tree branches had fallen upon the ground. Bai Qingqing didn’t have shoes on, and her soles weren’t as thick as the males, so it was basically impossible for her to walk.

She followed behind Parker and helped to pick up the tree branches, using vines to bind them together.

As he chopped the firewood, Parker said, “Don’t come near me, lest you be hurt by me.”

“Okay,” Bai Qingqing responded. Only when Parker moved on to chop another tree did she walk over to pick up the firewood.

Parker was helpless. He suddenly saw something, so he pointed at the root of a tree and said, “Qingqing, this tree is infested with worms. Come here and dig for the worms to eat.”
