Bai Qingqing drew her hand back and touched her nails before exclaiming in surprise, “Wow! They are so neat, about the same as when I cut them with a nail clipper. Why didn’t you bite them for me earlier?”


  Parker grinned. “I forgot about it. I’ve been with you for so long, I’ve never bit your nails before. It’s good that you like it.”


  Bai Qingqing put out her other hand. “Quickly bite for my other hand as well. I really can’t stand these nails.”


  Parker immediately heeded her words.

  After he was done, and as Bai Qingqing was admiring her fingers happily, he suddenly lifted one of her legs.

  “What?”


  Bai Qingqing thought that he had gone into heat. She covered her dress and said, “It hasn’t been a month since I gave birth. This won’t do. Moreover, there isn’t anyone to be on watch this time around, and there are also the children here.”


  Parker blinked, feeling confused, but he immediately understood what she meant. He threw a meaningful look at her, his golden eyes having a hint of teasing in them.

  “I’m only thinking of biting your toenails for you as well. What are you thinking? Is it because it’s the heavy rainy season that you’re in heat again?”


  The more Parker said, the more he felt that this must be it. He said happily, “That’s great. We might be able to have more children this year.

  “Do you think that I’m a pig?”


  Bai Qingqing’s face instantly flushed up, and she kicked him.

  She didn’t manage to push him over but was pushed down by the counteracting force instead.

  Parker didn’t hold Bai Qingqing up. He just took her leg and started biting away.

  Bai Qingqing curled her toes.

  “Let go, quickly. My feet are so dirty.” Bai Qingqing supported herself with one hand and sat up.

  Parker spat out a piece of nail and said, “It’s not dirty. Even if it is, I won’t mind it.”


  After saying that, the “ka ka ka” sounds kept ringing out as he bit away.

  Bai Qingqing felt touched and gently drew her leg back again. “It’s really very dirty. Why don’t I wash my feet first?”


  “They aren’t dirty,” Parker said in a muffled voice.

  She looked at her other leg. Although it had been a few days since she last washed her feet, she had also stepped on mud, but the mud on it had already dried and fell off. Her feet looked quite clean and didn’t stink either.

  Since Parker insisted, Bai Qingqing didn’t try to be pretentious. Beastmen were all so carefree.

  “Then just do whatever you want.”


  “Uh.”


  After Parker was done biting Bai Qingqing’s nails, the children were all tired from playing. They ran over to Bai Qingqing’s side, wanting to drink milk.

  Bai Qingqing pulled down her clothes with great familiarity and grabbed two of them. She then took a look at the one that was left behind. It turned out to be Third again.

  Was this fate?

  Third cried out loudly, feeling aggrieved. Bai Qingqing was caught between laughter and tears.

  Parker wiped his mouth and thought of the gaze from earlier. He looked toward the sea, and his sharp eyes noticed a turtle that had been pushed to the shores by the waves.

  “Qingqing, there’s a turtle over there. I’ll catch it for you to play.”


  After saying that, he got up rapidly. By the time Bai Qingqing looked up, Parker had already picked up a green turtle the size of a face basin.

  “It’s so big. There are also turtles in the sea?”


  Bai Qingqing licked her lips, thinking of turtle soup. The taste was soft as pigskin, yet not sickening at all. It was one of her favorite dishes.

  It was just that turtles were too expensive. The number of times she had eaten it could be easily counted.

  This turtle was enough for her to have her fill.

  “You have them in that world of yours as well?” asked Parker as he ran back.

  When Parker mentioned “that world,” Bai Qingqing recalled the scene in which the ape king had exposed her identity. Her smile disappeared.
