Chapter 1174: Mother Chicken Incubating Eggs

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although there was no way he’d die from thirst, the innate nature in Muir’s blood still made him do this.

That voice made Bai Qingqing think of an old hen incubating her eggs. She suddenly let out a stifled laugh.

She wondered if Muir would erupt his feathers to protect the chicks like a hen if she were to try to catch them after the eggs hatched.

Oh my, this couldn’t do. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Bai Qingqing laughed until her stomach ached. Her expression became extremely distorted from all the laughing, but she still couldn’t contain it.

Both Muir and Winston threw her perplexed gazes. Was Qingqing feeling happy? Why did it give them the feeling that there was a deeper meaning behind her laughter?

Bai Qingqing buried half her face under the blankets, covering the uncontrollable laughter on her face, and she leaned on the tiger next to her.

“Curtis has gone into hibernation?” Bai Qingqing smiled and asked.

Winston rested one front leg on her body, assuming a pose as if he was hugging her. His tiger body then turned into a muscular man, turning it into an even more proper embrace.

Winston pulled Bai Qingqing onto his chest and then stroked her back. “En, he went into hibernation last night.”

“He entered hibernation really early this year.” Bai Qingqing pouted. However, she no longer had any regrets after giving birth before he went into hibernation.

Although these weren’t Curtis’s children, for some reason, she felt that he should be around. It could be because they’d be separated for several months after this.

Winston’s hand slowly moved to Bai Qingqing’s stomach. He had just wanted to lift her dress and tried to touch the belly when she stiffened, pushing his hand away weakly.

“What are you doing?” Bai Qingqing feigned anger as she glared at Winston, trying to conceal her guilty feelings.

Even she despised the state of her stomach right after giving birth. She didn’t wish to leave behind a bad impression on her mates.

Winston had no idea how he had offended his mate and felt a little anxious. However, his heartbeat uncontrollably quickened at the instant he was glared at.

Qingqing’s eyes looked really nice. They looked so charming even when she was glaring at someone. She didn’t look like she was angry, but more like she was seducing him.

He must have hurt her.

Winston thought this and stopped trying to touch her. His deep and rough voice emitted a strong gentleness as he said, “Alright, I won’t touch it. You must be hungry. I’ll go prepare breakfast. What do you want to eat?”

Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief, gave it some thought, then said, “I want to drink bird soup. I want a soup that is boiled from broken wings birds.”

Winston smiled and said, “I know that you like to drink soup, so the soup is ready long ago. I’ll go bring a bowl right away.”

If it wasn’t because Winston had to get up in the middle of the night to cook and to add firewood to the bed-stove, he wouldn’t still be asleep after the sun had risen.

“En, en.” Bai Qingqing nodded in delight, licked her dried lips, then said, “I want to rinse my mouth too.”

“Okay.”

Winston carefully climbed out from under the blankets, not letting any hint of warmth escape.

As Bai Qingqing had lost a lot of blood during childbirth, her body was extremely weak. The moment Winston left, the temperature under the blanket cooled down rapidly.

Laying in bed and looking at the slab stone not far away that was so dry that it had turned white, Bai Qingqing had a strong urge to crawl over. It would definitely feel very warm there.

The fragrance of bird soup drifted out. The leopard cubs smelled the scent and ran straight toward their mommy instead of heading to the kitchen.

Howl howl howl!

Bai Qingqing felt as if she had seen her savior, quickly flipping up her blanket a little to make a small gap. Then, she urged, “Come in quickly. Mommy is freezing to death.”

“Howl~” The leopard cubs were very docile and immediately darted under the blanket.

They had been running in the cold wind and their fur was very cold. The moment they went in, Bai Qingqing shuddered from the cold. However, their cold fur was quickly heated up by their hot bodies, making the temperature under the blanket warm once again.
