Chapter 144 - Containing Lobsters with a Carrier for Babies (2/2)

Just then, a lobster with a deep-red shell came swaggering towards her. The sharp-eyed Bai Qingqing quickly reached out to grab it by the shell. Waving its giant pincer, the lobster turned around to pinch her.

Nearly pinched by the lobster, the startled Bai Qingqing yelped. “Parker Parker, hurry up and bring me the pack basket.”

Parker held out the pack basket as he was told. Standing at a distance one to two meters away, Bai Qingqing directly threw the lobsters in.

Parker widened his eyes. “How can you…”

“How can you what?” Bai Qingqing relaxed and asked strangely.

“This is used to carry cubs!” Parker shouted. He stared at Bai Qingqing with a reprimanding look. “How can you use something that’s used to carry cubs to contain lobsters?”

Out of motherly love, females possessed the talent to weave such tools. They would, right before their babies were born, weave all sorts of things to contain babies, to make it convenient for them to take care of their young ones.

The females would even compare among themselves whose weaving technique was better, with the shape and materials being the basis of their comparisons.

Parker had always thought that Bai Qingqing was making this in preparation for her future babies, so he didn’t think much of it when she weaved one with bamboo. He also thought that she was simply bringing it out today to show off to the other females.

Unexpectedly, she was using it to contain lobsters.

All of a sudden, Parker felt funny looking at the lobsters in the basket. It felt to him like these were Qingqing’s babies from another species, and that she had a lobster as a mate…

Bai Qingqing froze in surprise. She turned around to look at Cortis and discovered that his expression was also a little odd. Only then did she realize that she had done something stupid again.

Bai Qingqing twirled her two index fingers together and asked, “Is there a problem? I just felt that this would be more convenient. It’s lighter than something made out of stone, and I’m able to carry it with me.”

“Of course there’s a problem. A huge problem. This is used to carry our babies!” Parker said, bewildered.
