Chapter 847 - Seeking Helpers (2/2)

“So fast?” Alva’s brows drooped. That wouldn’t be enough time. By the time he came back, the fruits would likely have rotted.

Curtis then pointed at five strong beastmen among the volunteers. Without bothering to exchange pleasantries with anyone, he dragged Bai Qingqing with him and prepared to leave.

As she walked, Bai Qingqing greeted those five male beastmen. “Thanks.”

Curtis circled his arm around her waist, lifted her, and picked up his pace.

When they got home, seeing that Curtis’s face was still sullen, she poked his arm.

“Eh, why did you ask those beastmen to come along? There are merely five of them. If a fight ensues, we’ll likely still be outnumbered.”

“To carry our luggage.” Curtis said with an icy face, “Your food, clothes, cutlery, and also water.”

Heart brimming with sweetness, Bai Qingqing tilted her head and, glancing at his countenance, said with a smile, “It’s okay, I’m not afraid of hardship. We can dispense with all the unnecessary items. We don’t need the help of those beastmen.”

With a sullen expression on his face, Curtis somehow looked adorable. He himself was the one who found those males, the very cause of his anger right now, hahaha…

“Your safety is what matters most.” Curtis said, “But you are not to speak a single word to them! You’re too softhearted.”

Bai Qingqing shrugged. “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”

After Parker taught the cubs a lesson, he came back and, having heard Bai Qingqing’s plan, instantly went off to hunt.

The two males ate to their hearts’ content that night, then prepared several urns of clear water and some roasted smoked meat, packed up the clothes, and also prepared a huge pile of stuff.

Only after staring at the luggage did Bai Qingqing realize they did need a minimum of five helpers to carry everything they were bringing along.

Howl~

The leopard cubs spun circles around the luggage, seemingly realizing something. After filling their tummies, they didn’t go off to play like they usually did and instead stared eagerly at the adults.

Bai Qingqing caressed their heads one by one and said gently, “I’m going out. The three of you, be good and stay in the village. Don’t practice hunting in the wilderness all day long. Just go to the tribal head’s home to eat meat in the afternoon. You hear me?”
