Chapter 521 - Gathering (1) (2/2)

Bai Qingqing flung the pile of clothes at him and explained to Curtis, “I only made it for them first because they were wearing it immediately. Yours were made last as you were in hibernation. There isn’t any meaning behind the sequence in which they were made.”

“I know.”

Despite his words, his countenance remained terrible.

The cubs—who were at an energetic age—dashed forward and started snatching at the sight of the falling clothes.

Curtis hurriedly chased them away and picked up the skirts Bai Qingqing made for him, before stacking them as though they were treasures.

At noon, Winston returned with the tiger beastmen, fully loaded.

“Roar!”

The roars of the tigers reverberated throughout the mountains. The excitement in those roars got Bai Qingqing all riled up as well, making her hurriedly run to the entrance of the tree hole.

The tiger tribe all came out and gathered at the empty land next to the waterhole.

Dry firewood had been prepared in advance. Once the tiger beastmen returned, some males started lighting the fire, bringing the atmosphere to a high.

“Let’s hurry up and go down,” urged Bai Qingqing.

Although Curtis didn’t like noise and detested fire, he followed since she seemed excited.

“Bai Qingqing!” Molly waved at her as she stood beside the fire.

Bai Qingqing walked towards her.

The two of them hadn’t seen each other throughout the cold season. After their little misunderstanding was resolved, their ties became even closer due to this period of absence.

Molly shouted in surprise when she saw the leopard cubs behind their mother, “They’re growing really quickly!”

“Really?” Bai Qingqing didn’t quite believe her. After all, they weren’t very well fed.
