Chapter 463: The Tiger Village (4)

“Y-y-you… how can you do this!” Bai Qingqing stammered.

“Do what?”

Curtis cocked his head sideways at her and asked in an innocent tone that made Bai Qingqing feel like she was kicking up a fuss over nothing.

“You… This is for the babies. You…” Bai Qingqing couldn’t bring herself to put it into words and pulled up her clothes to cover her body.

Parker felt jealous. “I’ll help you lick it. I’ll lick it even cleaner than him, so your wound will heal faster.”

Bai Qingqing was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury her head in it. She raised her feet and kicked him haphazardly. “Get lost, get lost. All of you get lost.”

Things got frenzied inside the small tree hole.

Suddenly, Bai Qingqing sensed someone looking at them. She gazed outside.

Turned out it was Becky. Shrunk in the arms of the strong and burly tiger beastman, she appeared all the more frail and scrawny.

Bai Qingqing subconsciously smiled politely at her, revealing a row of tiny white teeth.

Ford gazed into the tree hole following Becky’s gaze and nodded at Bai Qingqing. He then lifted her. “Let’s go. I’ll protect you in the future.”

Becky retracted her gaze and nodded to express her consent. After this incident, she suffered from a severe lack of insecurity. Ford’s two animal stripes made her feel much more at ease.

Ford let out two giggles, before sprinting off with Becky in his arms.

Bai Qingqing leaned against the entrance and watched as the duo left.

The surrounding beastmen dispersed soon after, and the surroundings quickly resumed its quietness.

Gazing around, Bluepool said upon seeing Bai Qingqing’s face, “I’ll head to the river.”

Bai Qingqing waved a hand. “Hurry up and go.”

With a little cub still hanging on her body, the other two cubs were trying with all their might to crawl up her body. Bai Qingqing arched one leg for Second to lean against her knee, before lifting Eldest into her arms.

She pried open his mouth and saw that there really were two tiny canine teeth in his mouth.

“Finally teething,” Bai Qingqing said with a broad smile. “Let’s see how Third is doing.”

Parker lifted Third to check and saw that two tiny canine teeth the size of rice grains had appeared on his pinkish gums. His lips curled up in a wicked grin. “They’ve finally weaned off breastmilk. From now onwards, eat meat as your father does.”

Bai Qingqing voiced her disagreement. “No way. Have you forgotten that time they had diarrhea? They’ll only turn one-month-old in a few days. At least wait till then before they wean off breast milk.”

“But they’ll bite you.”

Parker had just finished speaking when Bai Qingqing let out a painful gasp.

Second also bit her.

Parker was so mad that he grabbed Second’s neck and restrained him using violence. Sensing the threat, Second instantly released his bite.

“Scram to the side!” Parker growled as he tossed Second to a corner.

Although this tree was very thick, the hole wasn’t very big, merely ten square meters or so. The area was similar to the treehouses in the peacock village. It was a little cramped for two males, but it also meant it was cozier.

Second rolled on the ground in the corner, then with a “dong” sound, he disappeared.

“Baby?”

Bai Qingqing hurriedly walked over and saw that there was a small hole in the floor of this tree hole and that Second had fallen into it.

Meow! Second raised his head to look towards his mother, raising his leg to scratch his ear. Seeing that he seemed to be fine, Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief.

“Eh, there are multiple stories.” Bai Qingqing marveled in astonishment.

Parker added, “There’s also an entrance up there.”

Bai Qingqing raised her head. Indeed, there was a small wooden door. She was enlightened. “No wonder this tree hole was so small. It turns out there were several stories in this house.”

Parker did a quick check and found that there were five stories in total. Other than the first story which didn’t have an entrance, the entrances of the other stories all faced different directions and were hidden among the tree branches. Hence, they weren’t easily visible and went unnoticed when they first came.

After crawling to the top of the tree, Parker discovered another hole.
