At that moment, the two of them just stared at each other. The funny thing was that both of them appeared a little pitiful.

  The black eagle’s pitifulness came from inside out, while the young lady’s petite figure naturally had a hint of pitifulness.

  The silence was broken by Parker. He picked up a piece of damp animal skin and came over. She had no idea if it was intentional, but he walked up between the two of them and used the dampened animal skin to clean the grease on her face.

  Bai Qingqing shuddered from the chill. By the time she came back to her senses, she mumbled a soft “thank you” and then let the icy animal skin take the high temperature off her skin.

  Muir also came back to his senses, his eyes gleaming with great joy. He didn’t feel angry even though Parker was blocking him. Instead, he felt thankful.

  He was in too sorry a plight and didn’t wish for Bai Qingqing to see him.

  Muir turned his body and extended his claws out into the rain to wash them. When he saw that he had dirtied the stone floor, he wiped off the marks with his clean but wet claws.

  Bai Qingqing quickly cleaned her face. When she saw what Muir was doing, she quickly said, “There’s no need to care about it. It’ll be gone if we sweep it with a broom after it dries.”


  Her tone had returned to normal. She heaved a sigh of relief.

  Muir immediately stopped and frantically wanted to see if he could be considered his mate’s male. However, he tensed up and didn’t dare to turn around.

  An awkward atmosphere spread in the air. Females were most sensitive, and Bai Qingqing naturally couldn’t neglect such an atmosphere. She then wiped her face again for no reason, tugging at Parker and saying, “Let’s go to the nest. It’s so cold outside.”


  Parker could still accept such a situation, and he happily followed Bai Qingqing back to the bedroom.

  Parker and Bai Qingqing went under the blankets. Muir didn’t come in. She had no idea what he was doing.

  Bai Qingqing poked the back of Parker’s hand and asked, “Where are the children? Are they still with Bluepool?”


  Only then did she recall that she hadn’t been producing milk for a few days. The food she had been eating during those few days was too bad and she almost starved. Therefore, she’d naturally not have additional nutrition to be turned into milk.

  Since her body was hidden under the blanket, Bai Qingqing put her hand out and clenched it.

  As expected, nothing came out. Did she stop producing milk just like that?

  Parker said, “En. Now that you’re awake, should I go and get the children back?”


  “Of course.” Bai Qingqing pushed him, unable to wait a moment longer. She urged, “Hurry up and go.”


  Parker grinned and then planted a kiss on her face. The smooth feeling gave him a small sense of satisfaction. He got out from under the blankets and ran out.

  Bai Qingqing glared as she watched Parker leave, raising her hand to her slightly moistened face. Her lips curled up into a slight smile.

  Parker quickly brought the children back. Bluepool also came along. The three leopard cubs and An’an were respectively enveloped by two bubbles, and Parker wasn’t able to carry them by himself. Therefore, Bluepool volunteered to help.

  Bluepool held the bubble An’an was in, raising his head to look at the towering stone castle, his eyes revealing praise and disbelief.

  “This nest is really big,” Bluepool said with strong feelings. This was the first time he had gotten so close to this stone castle, and he felt a little happy about it.

  However, Parker wasn’t planning on letting him enter. He took a few quick steps and stopped in front of him. “That’s enough. You can just stand here. I’ll come to get An’an after I place the leopard cubs down.”


  Bluepool smiled but didn’t say anything. After Parker turned to head in, Bluepool followed after him while carrying An’an, just like when they were at the waterhole. Parker was so angry that he almost smashed the leopard cubs Bluepool’s face.

  Bai Qingqing heard the sounds outside and immediately raised her voice and said, “Is Bluepool here? Come in quickly.”
