Chapter 253 - Wheat (1/2)
“By the way, why haven’t we seen your mother?” Bai Qingqing assumed that Parker’s mother wouldn’t be as wilful, but when she looked around at the females who hadn’t been carried, she didn’t spot her.
“The females in the royal family naturally don’t have to queue. It’s better that way since I won’t have to see any annoying people.” Parker stroked Bai Qingqing’s back and said arrogantly, “I must defeat my father and become the new leopard king so that you can wait at home comfortably too.”
Bai Qingqing smiled encouragingly. Not wanting Parker to have too much pressure, she said, “It’s already very good that they’re giving out seeds. Our life the way it is now isn’t too bad.”
As they chatted, they finally got their turn. The ape beastman giving out the seeds scooped out a stone bowl full of rice without lifting his head.
Parker put Bai Qingqing down, then untied a bag made of animal tail from his waist, and caught every single grain of rice.
“Thank you,” Bai Qingqing said as she stood at the side.
The ape beastman looked up. Seeing that it was Bai Qingqing, he said, “Wait.”
“Hm?” Parker supported the bottom of the bag as he happily tied it around his waist.
The ape beastman said, “Females who gave birth to children in the previous year can collect one more bowl of grains.”
“Really?” Bai Qingqing exclaimed. She then silently grumbled, Did the whole City of Beastmen know that I’ve given birth to children?
But there are only a few hundred females in the City of Beastmen. If you exclude the young and old, that makes the number even smaller. Females only go into heat once a year, and the chances of them becoming pregnant are low, so it’s probably small news if a female gives birth to a litter of children.
Parker was also ecstatic. He quickly pulled the bag from his waist and opened it.
The ape beastman turned and scooped out another spoonful of brown grains. It was clear that the husks of the grains had been removed as they had a smooth surface.
“Wild grains,” Parker said with disdain as he kept the bag and prepared to hold the seeds in his hands.
