Chapter 605 - Look for the Little Snakes (2/2)

“Pour them a bowl, else they will keep thinking about it.” Bai Qingqing tried her best to squeeze out a smile. She lowered her head and said to her cubs, “Babies, be good. Your paws are dirty, don’t stand on the table.”

Roar! The leopard cubs responded. By now, they knew that Mommy couldn’t understand what they were saying, so they nodded in unison.

Her sons’ obedient reactions heartened Bai Qingqing. She lowered her gaze and stared at the red wine that appeared to be dark red due to being contained in a stone bowl.

The cubs lowered their heads and started licking the wine. Even though they were males, they were still kids, after all. Thus, they were extremely fond of the sweet taste, and after one lick, they were unable to stop.

Bai Qingqing also raised her wine bowl. She was about to take a sip when a pale and large hand stopped her.

After all, it had been stored for a year. Curtis naturally wouldn’t feel completely reassured. As Bai Qingqing’s most powerful male, he naturally ought to sit next to her at the dining table. He seized the wine bowl from her hands.

“I’ll drink it first,” said Curtis. With that, he raised his head and downed the entire bowl of red wine.

Bai Qingqing reached out, wiped off the traces of wine on Curtis’s lips, and asked, “Did you run into the little snakes?”

“No.” Curtis sounded cold as usual.

Although she didn’t have high hopes, Bai Qingqing couldn’t help feeling an emptiness in her heart at his reply.

“Little snakes?” Bluepool’s vision moved back and forth between Curtis and Bai Qingqing. “You two have a nest of baby snakes as well? Did they lose their way?”

Bluepool couldn’t help looking at Curtis with sympathy. But very quickly, he had his doubts. The snake beastman looked completely devoid of emotions, and the upset one was actually Bai Qingqing.

Shouldn’t it be the reverse?

Bai Qingqing was in no mood to reply to him, and the other males naturally ignored him. Bluepool felt awkward all of a sudden.

“Can’t you find them?” Bai Qingqing asked meekly. “We agreed on releasing them after they get a bit older. They can still come back by themselves. Now, with the City of Beastmen in ruins and us moving away… will they be searching for us around the City of Beastmen?”

Curtis picked up a slice of sashimi and chewed it, then said, “The taste is not bad.”
