Chapter 556 - Bai Qingqing and Her Voracious Appetite (1) (2/2)

Even the thunderous rain didn’t manage to mask the loud thuds that sounded as the cubs fell onto the ground.

“Parker!” The anxious Bai Qingqing shoved him aside and strode to the entrance to look downwards.

Thankfully, the cubs didn’t suffer a great fall. With a quick roll, they got back up in no time. However, the color of mud was now plastered all over their bodies.

They gazed at their mommy and sobbed twice, before hugging the tree and charging upwards. They stopped for a second on the second story of the tree hole, but at the sight of their daddy’s stern face, they hurriedly continued scurrying upwards.

The relieved Bai Qingqing picked up a dry animal skin as she turned around. She covered Parker’s head with it and started scrubbing vigorously. “You gave me such a scare.”

“You think too weakly of us males.” Parker defended himself innocently. Not just towards the cubs, but towards them as well. Just now when he was under the tree, he had heard Qingqing forbidding Winston from going out in the rain.

The jealous Parker haphazardly rubbed his hair with the animal skin on his head.

“Alright…” Feeling a little cold, Bai Qingqing covered herself with a piece of animal skin.

Swoosh sounds rang from the top of the tree hole, and shortly after, a gigantic snake head stuck down from above.

“Are you going out as well?” asked Bai Qingqing.

Curtis transformed into a human and replied, “It’s easier for me to move about on a rainy day. This rain should last for at least two days. I’ll go and find you a prickly fruit tree.”

“Prickly fruit? Aren’t there plenty in the village?” Was Curtis planning to plant a tree right outside their home?

Curtis said, “The one for cleaning teeth.”

Only then did Bai Qingqing realize she had mixed up the prickly fruit and thorny fruit, for both had pricks.

Having gotten used to cleaning her teeth with weeds, she almost forgot about the prickly fruits. Yet, Curtis still remembered.

“Then, don’t be gone for too long. Just forget it if you can’t find it. I’ll just stick to cleaning my teeth with the weeds found next to the waterhole,” said Bai Qingqing.
