“Are they still on breastmilk?”

Curtis asked as he cast a glance at Bai Qingqing’s breasts.

“Mm.” Bai Qingqing nodded and said, “Else they might have starved to death. There’s not much prey around here. A few males even starved to death.”

Although it wasn’t Bai Qingqing’s intention, Parker felt ashamed at her words. He blamed himself for not being capable enough, for not finding enough food, and causing the family to go through such a hard time.

Other leopard cubs weaned off breast milk in a month, yet, in their home, the cubs had drunk breast milk for half a year due to insufficient food. If word got out, they would be humiliated.

Thankfully, the leopard cubs were growing well, even better than the cubs in the City of Beastmen. His cubs would definitely become powerful beastmen in the future.

Curtis asked, “Then, have you gone into heat?”

“Ah?” The topic changed too rapidly for Bai Qingqing to keep up. She replied honestly, “No.”

“That’s good.” Curtis gazed at her lower body with a faint smile.

His intention was very blatant. Slow to realize this, Bai Qingqing glared at Curtis as her embarrassment turned to anger. She walked to the wooden case and took out the skirts she had made for him.

“I made these for you. Although my skills can’t be compared to yours, do try them. They should be of the right size. I made them using the measurements of your existing skirts.”

Just like Parker’s reaction when he first received the present, Curtis froze for a moment. He then strode over, picked up the one on top, and put it on.

“Very good,” he said as he lowered his head, a satisfied expression in his cold eyes.

As girls tended to have defter hands than guys, Bai Qingqing’s skills had become pretty good after some practice. Though, of course, they still couldn’t compare with Curtis who inherited the knowledge from his vast legacy.

Bai Qingqing said with a smile, “Can all of you stop reacting like this? It’s just a few pieces of cloth.”

“All of you?” Curtis’s expression grew dark as he looked towards her.

Pouring fuel on the fire, Parker added, “Winston and I have it too. Yours were made last.”

Bai Qingqing flung the pile of clothes at him and explained to Curtis, “I only made it for them first because they were wearing it immediately. Yours were made last as you were in hibernation. There isn’t any meaning behind the sequence in which they were made.”

“I know.”

Despite his words, his countenance remained terrible.

The cubs—who were at an energetic age—dashed forward and started snatching at the sight of the falling clothes.

Curtis hurriedly chased them away and picked up the skirts Bai Qingqing made for him, before stacking them as though they were treasures.

...

At noon, Winston returned with the tiger beastmen, fully loaded.

“Roar!”

The roars of the tigers reverberated throughout the mountains. The excitement in those roars got Bai Qingqing all riled up as well, making her hurriedly run to the entrance of the tree hole.

The tiger tribe all came out and gathered at the empty land next to the waterhole.

Dry firewood had been prepared in advance. Once the tiger beastmen returned, some males started lighting the fire, bringing the atmosphere to a high.

“Let’s hurry up and go down,” urged Bai Qingqing.

Although Curtis didn’t like noise and detested fire, he followed since she seemed excited.

“Bai Qingqing!” Molly waved at her as she stood beside the fire.

Bai Qingqing walked towards her.

The two of them hadn’t seen each other throughout the cold season. After their little misunderstanding was resolved, their ties became even closer due to this period of absence.

Molly shouted in surprise when she saw the leopard cubs behind their mother, “They’re growing really quickly!”

“Really?” Bai Qingqing didn’t quite believe her. After all, they weren’t very well fed.
