The beastmen who went out to hunt transformed into their human forms and bit the throat of the prey in their hands, before drinking the blood completely. They then brought the prey to the waterhole, where they opened their stomachs and skinned them clean.

All of a sudden, the waterhole was fully surrounded by beastmen, and the water within was drenched with the color of blood.

Bluepool hurriedly dodged, yet he wasn’t able to avoid being stained by the blood. He said furiously, “Go elsewhere to wash, this place belongs to me.”

“We handle our prey here every year,” answered one of them. Other beastmen voiced their agreements.

“The blood and internal organs will wake up the fishes in the water and feed them. If we don’t do this, the fish might come out later.”

Bluepool was so furious that his face was clouded by a dark expression. Seeing that the bubbles had disappeared, Bai Qingqing hurriedly said, “Quickly bring the bubbles up. My babies have sunk.”

Shaking his fishtail, Bluepool took a look at the faint red water before holding his breath and sinking downwards with a disdainful expression.

Very soon, three bubbles floated to the water surface.

“Roar!”

The leopard cubs’ muffled voices rang out. They showed no signs of fear but instead looked extremely excited as they ran about in the bubble maniacally, causing the bubbles to spin like a yo-yo.

Bai Qingqing’s plans to scare them had fallen flat.

Bluepool tossed the bubbles onto the shore, then came out as well. He shook off the bloodied water from his hair and tail with disdain.

The bubbles didn’t burst when they landed on the ground. Like hamsters playing with a ball, the cubs ran amok.

“Hey!” Bai Qingqing was both tickled and anxious as she gazed at the balls rolling haphazardly around the bonfire. “Babies! Hurry up and stop, be careful of the fire!”

She had just finished her sentence when Eldest, the fastest, accidentally bumped into the fire. With a “plop” sound, the bubble burst.

He continued running a bit more before he realized that the bubble had vanished. He instantly turned his head to search for it, looking like a toddler who had just lost his beloved toy.
