Parker shook his body, causing dust to fly about in the air.
"Eh~" Bai Qingqing shifted to the side in disdain."Don't think of hugging me to sleep tonight. I'll sleep with Curtis."
Parker toned down, transformed into a human, and said, "This is all his fault. He brought those wolf beastmen into the house and stank up the place."
Curtis looked up and glanced coldly towards him, who then shut up immediately and changed the topic."We weren't done just now."
Bai Qingqing glared and scolded him softly."What time is it now? The sun is about to come out!"
Growl!
Just as she was speaking, a loud growl rang from her stomach, sounding particularly loud and clear in the quietness of the night.
Awkward, Bai Qingqing shut up and stopped nagging at him.
"Let's sleep."
Parker smiled."Okay. Since you aren't in the mood, we won't do it. Are you hungry? I'll go and cook you a bowl of fishballs."
As the underground water was warm in the winter and chilly in the summer, the water temperature at the waterhole tended to be lower in this season. Hence, Bai Qingqing had left their fishballs in Bluepool's care. Stored in a bubble in the depths of the water, the fishballs wouldn't go bad for several days.
Bluepool had turned into Bai Qingqing's private fridge key.
"Forget it, it's too late. Sleep a little longer and dawn will come. You'd better get some rest, " Bai Qingqing said after a moment's hesitation.
Parker put on a skirt and, after saying "Be right back", jumped down the tree hole.
Bai Qingqing could only sit down and wait for him.
Ssss—
She felt something chilly touch her arm, making her turn her head towards Curtis's black figure. She said, "Were you particularly irritated during your sleep tonight?"
Though he was lazy, he was also an impatient beastman. Having been interrupted in his sleep tonight, he felt so irritated that he wished he could bring his mate somewhere cut off from the rest of the world and live in seclusion with her there.
But upon hearing his mate's words of concern, his irritated feelings were suddenly soothed.
Curtis transformed into a human and spread out his arms to hug her, placing one hand over her apple-like stomach and caressing it.
"With you around, I won't feel irritated, " Curtis said gently as he pressed his face against her.
If these words were to come out of someone else's mouth, they would sound like honeyed words. But coming from Curtis, no one would suspect he wasn't being sincere when he said it.
Feeling sweet, Bai Qingqing said softly, "Go to sleep. You haven't slept for three days, and you kept being interrupted in your sleep today."
Curtis planted a kiss on her forehead, then transformed into a snake and slept with his head leaning against Bai Qingqing's abdomen.
However, 15 minutes later, Parker came back with the aroma of fish. Bai Qingqing ate a bowl of fishballs, and the satisfaction she felt from her stomach dispelled any negative emotions she had been feeling. Lying beside her two mates, she fell asleep peacefully.
The males in the village didn't sleep a wink the entire night as they kept vigil around the waterhole.
The next day, when the sun rose, the morning fog blurred out the entire mountain forest. As the water wheel spun leisurely, it made an abnormal sound, as though some part was broken. But it was still able to add oxygen into the waterhole as usual.
The males shook off the dew on their bodies and became invigorated as they roared at the water surface.
Roar!
Other than the sound of water flowing, it was calm and silent in the waterhole.
The males got anxious and started throwing rocks into the water.
Splash! Very quickly, a blue merman bubbled from the water surface with a rock the size of a person's head in his arms. Having been abruptly woken from a pleasant dream, he looked livid.
"Are you trying to kill the females? I won't be responsible if the bubbles burst."
The males who tossed the rocks scratched their heads in embarrassment."Where are the females? Quickly bring them out."
Having not gotten a response earlier, the tiger beastmen wouldn't be at ease until they saw the females. After all, they were of a different species, so they couldn't feel completely at ease with the females in Bluepool's hands.
