Chapter 632 - Eagle Beastmen Join the Village (2/2)
Bai Qingqing fanned herself with a tree leaf, yet it did nothing to stop the tiny beads of perspiration from forming on her forehead. “Parker, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to soak in the water.”
Lying on his belly, Parker was panting like a dog, and even his tongue was lowered to the ground with dust coating it.
He shrunk it back and spat out the soil and dust in his mouth, then transformed into a human and said, “Okay, I’ll carry you back.”
“No need, I’ll walk by myself.” Bai Qingqing supported the back of her waist with one hand and fanned herself with a fan with the other as she shakily walked towards the waterhole.
Parker then plucked a large tree leaf and fanned her from the side.
This was the peak of the hot season, and the water level in the waterhole had decreased by the height of half a human. It was said that some rivers nearby had nearly turned into quagmires.
Back then, when the tiger tribe chose to set up a settlement here, it was because of this waterhole.
Bai Qingqing slid into the water with Parker’s help. The water had turned warm from being under the harsh sun. But still, it felt more cooling to soak in the water as compared to standing outside on the land. Parker had specially constructed a grass shelter for her up there, so she wasn’t exposed to the harsh sun rays.
With her big belly, Bai Qingqing nearly couldn’t float up, so she could only grab the grass next to the waterhole.
“Bluepool! Are you there?” Bai Qingqing shouted at the bottom of the waterhole.
Splash! Parker jumped down and swam two rounds, then said, “You wanna play with the cleansing fish again?”
Bai Qingqing splashed water at him and said with a broad beam, “Yeah. Seems like Bluepool’s not around this time. Next time, I guess.”
As she spoke, she gazed at the sun and said in a perplexed tone, “It’s such a hot day, even I am nearly turning into a dried human. I wonder what he’s doing out there? I’ve got to ask him next time.”
Parker swam to Bai Qingqing’s side, then suddenly dove into the water.
“Parker?” She turned around to look for him.
Suddenly, she felt her skirt being lifted. Bai Qingqing let out a yelp, following which she could sense Parker’s head pressed against her tummy.
Kicking her legs, Bai Qingqing said, “Hey, come up, it’s so itchy.”
