Mating was a big affair that tended to cause quite a stir in the family. Lately, Curtis and Parker had been dragging food into the house several times a day in preparation for this.

Seeing this behavior, experienced beastmen would know that the female in this family was in heat. Often, young beastmen who didn’t yet have mates would go near to peek, but as they were fearful of the four-striped snake beastman, they didn’t dare come near their house.

1Holding a bunch of root vegetables popular among the ape females, Shuu stood tall and straight in the rain like a soldier, facing the stone house where Bai Qingqing lived in.

Parker hadn’t been accepting his challenge these days, so he didn’t have any chance of giving Bai Qingqing presents to please her.

“Coo—” Some bird on the tree shook his wings. Shuu looked up and saw that it was an eagle beastman.

The eagle beastman’s feathers were drenched by the rain, so he looked different from how he usually looked, thus Shuu had no idea who he was. Shuu said in a hostile manner, “Are you Qingqing’s suitor as well? If you’ve just started, I urge you to give up. Her snake beastman mate will not allow other males to get near her.”

The black eagle glanced coldly at him with his round eyes, then remained perched on the tree branch, unconcerned. Twisting his neck, he stuck his head inside his wings and started pecking.

Shuu laughed at himself. Wasn’t he the same? He didn’t even get a chance to see Qingqing.

He walked back to the stone castle, looking dazed and dejected. Before he could enter, an ape male jogged to him and blocked his way.

“The ape king requests to see you,” said the ape beastman.

Upon hearing the words “ape king”, Shuu recalled the scene where he first met Bai Qingqing, and his lips involuntarily curled up. He went with the ape beastman.

Behind the ape king’s stone castle was an exquisite botanic garden. Colorful flowers bloomed everywhere during the hot season, and now that the heavy rainy season was coming, all that one could see was a striking patch of green. After passing through this botanic garden, one would arrive at the gorgeous and exquisite hall of the stone castle.

With his back against the door, the ape king was wiping a round container made out of stone, as he stood in the hall. When he heard the footsteps sound, he said without turning around, “You’re here.”
