  Curtis swallowed half the food and left the remaining half on the grinding stone. The meat was roasted very quickly, and Bai Qingqing recovered much of her strength. The meat of the hippopotamus was tender, which made it easy to chew for her. It was only after finishing two large bowls of meat that she felt satisfied. Her tummy had swelled up because of how much she had eaten.

  Curtis briefly digested the food, then went into the bedroom with his tail curled around Bai Qingqing.

  “Ah, I look three months pregnant after this meal.” Lying on the pile of grass, Bai Qingqing patted her round tummy.

  Curtis transformed into a human and sat down beside Bai Qingqing with an animal skin around his waist. Upon hearing this, he chuckled and laid his large hand over Bai Qingqing’s tummy. “Eat more, so that you’ll give birth to the babies quickly.”


  Bai Qingqing smiled at Curtis and asked, “How do you know I’m having your eggs? They say it usually takes a few years to finally get pregnant.”


  Although she felt that as a pure human she wouldn’t get pregnant only once every few years, she didn’t think that the chances of her getting pregnant in one strike was very high either. Curtis seemed very confident.

  “I’m a snake beastman, unlike those ordinary beastmen.” Although Curtis’s expression didn’t change much, Bai Qingqing, who was familiar with him, knew that he was feeling a little displeased.

  Bai Qingqing laid her petite hand over Curtis’s large hand. Both their hands were very fair, but there was also a healthy pink glow on Bai Qingqing’s hand, whereas Curtis’s hand was deathly pale like a vampire’s.

  “Are there really eggs inside?” For the sake of her own safety, she decided to go along with Curtis.

  Curtis flipped his hand around and grabbed Bai Qingqing’s warm and petite hand, rubbing it with a loving look. “Eat well. They will grow up very quickly.”


  “Mmmm.” Bai Qingqing nodded obediently. She accidentally saw the addition of four pink round-shaped scars on Curtis’s waist.

  “Eh? When did you get injured?” Bai Qingqing wanted to crawl up and take a closer look. With Curtis’s amazing healing abilities, he probably incurred this injury when they were copulating.

  Parker!

  Bai Qingqing thought of him right away. Did Parker sneak an attack on Curtis then? Did they get into a fight?

  Even though the two of them were fine now, Bai Qingqing had lingering fears.

  Upon hearing this, Parker’s ears instantly perked up. With the meat in his mouth, he stopped eating.

  “It’s alright now, everything’s fine.” Curtis clearly didn’t take this to heart. Bai Qingqing felt relieved.

  Parker, too, felt relieved. He went on to finish the remaining barbecued meat and felt full afterward.

  There was still plenty of meat on the grinding stone, enough for him and Qingqing to eat for a day. Just as he was pondering how to handle this meat, he suddenly recalled the conversation in the house. He thought to himself,?

  But maybe Curtis’s self-confidence was backed by something—Bai Qingqing had felt hungry in less than two hours. Moreover, she didn’t ask for rice but instead craved for high-calorie food like meat.

  Feeling panicky about her situation, Bai Qingqing’s black eyes rolled about.

  Seeing Bai Qingqing hold a hand over her tummy, the concerned Parker asked, “What’s the matter? Do you have a stomachache?”


  Upon hearing this, Curtis, who felt sleepy after eating, opened his eyes and asked gently, “Hungry?”


  “Mm,” Bai Qingqing replied softly.

  Parker was dazed for a good while.?

  ?He didn’t dare believe this. Seeing that Bai Qingqing was prepared to get up from his peripheral vision, Parker hurriedly said, “I’ll go and roast meat. Qingqing, don’t get up.”


  Bai Qingqing said, “I merely wish to get up and walk around.”


  Parker lowered his gaze and looked at her legs, eyes full of doubt. “You’re able to walk now?”


  Bai Qingqing’s face flushed instantly. Despite feeling cowardly and not daring to look at Curtis, she put on a strong appearance. “Why am I not able to walk?”
