Chapter 144 - Containing Lobsters with a Carrier for Babies (1/2)
Bai Qingqing agreed in the end. Carrying the bamboo basket she completed two days ago, she led the two males out of the house.
After a rain, the air felt especially refreshing and so clean that a single speck of dust couldn’t be seen. It made breathing a pleasure.
“So many lobsters!”
Bai Qingqing excitedly ran a few steps. The moist ground felt very slippery. She accidentally slipped and gasped when someone held her from behind.
Cortis let go of her and indicated for her to continue playing.
“Thanks,” Bai Qingqing said with a smile. She fixed the straps of the bamboo basket. Because of the bump earlier, the straps now felt so tight it hurt her shoulders. Cocking her head, she saw that her shoulders were skinned from the abrasion with the unpolished bamboo straps.
Ouch. If she had known earlier, she would have weaved a basket she could hold with her hands, like Eve’s.
“Qingqing, I’ll carry it for you.” Parker ran over barefoot.
Leopard beastmen could move around nimbly in their human forms. When they arched their feet, thick and sharp nails would extend from their toes. They wouldn’t slip when they walked, but with every step they took, they would leave behind five holes.
Parker ran over, leaving his unique imprints on the way.
Bai Qingqing removed the pack basket and tossed it to him. When Parker saw the injury on her shoulder, he lowered his head and licked the wound, his heart aching for her. “Your skin is too tender. Don’t touch such stuff in the future.”
Tender… Although she was very happy to be complimented on her good skin. But, that made her feel like Mary Sue![1]
Bai Qingqing struggled to control her mouth muscles. Don’t laugh, please don’t laugh out loud.
Parker’s hot breath fell evenly upon her neck, causing her to squirm and walk away from them.
Parker licked the corner of his lips in relish and said, “Why are you bringing this out? You have no babies to carry these in.”
