Bai Qingqing felt very happy as well. She smiled as she allowed her mate to pounce on her.

Parker didn’t use much strength and just leaned on her body, resting most of his weight on his hind legs. His golden eyes gleamed as his gaze met hers, his eyes filled with joy.

They said that absence made the heart grow fonder. This was how it was for Parker right now. This was despite that he had only spent three nights away.

Parker’s beast form was about the height of a human when he stood on his hind legs. Bai Qingqing only reached his armpits and was struggling a little from his weight.

Bai Qingqing pushed the leopard and said, “Winston is here. Don’t block the way.”

Parker licked her face lightly and then released her. He stood straight and then turned into his human form.

“Where are the children?” Parker asked in passing. He was used to seeing the children coming out and acting all crazy.

Bai Qingqing choked and tried to evade the subject. “Erm, when are you guys setting off again?”

Parker had only been out for a few days and the leopard cubs had landed in that horrible state. Bai Qingqing felt extremely guilty.

Winston also turned into his human form and said in a deep voice, “The internal strife between the behemoths has ended and they are starting to search for food crazily. This time around, the reason we’re back is to remind everyone to keep their guards up and don’t head out. We mustn’t let the behemoths smell the scent of living creatures from the village.”

Bai Qingqing thought of how they had been pursued by the behemoth group three years ago and her face turned pale. She forgot about her initial objective and unknowingly followed them into the bedroom.

Bai Qingqing only returned to her senses after seeing the bulge on the pile of dried grass, feeling that something was amiss.

Parker had planned on searching for an animal skin skirt when he suddenly smelled a strange sweet scent.

“Didn’t someone get you honey?” Parker said as he looked toward the grass pile, the perplexity in his eyes growing even more intense. Was the honey placed in the grass pile? Moreover, why was it that this honey smelled a little dirty? It was as if it was mixed with some other stuff.

Bai Qingqing hadn’t thought of how to reply when a leopard face popped out from the grass pile under Parker’s doubtful gaze.

“Howl~” The two-year-old leopard wasn’t small anymore, but when he suddenly called out softly, it was as if they had returned to the days when the cubs were just a few months old.

Parker’s heart softened and he guessed that they must have been put through some grief. He asked, “What happened to you guys? Why do you have the scent of honey on you? Were you stung by bees?”

Winston also threw a glance toward the grass pile and then walked toward the clothing chest. Bai Qingqing rubbed her nose and chose to feign ignorance. She followed Winston and went to look for clothing for Parker.

“Howwl~”

The leopard cubs exposed only half their heads, selfishly exposing their body parts that had fur on and not revealing the bare parts.

Parker felt increasingly suspicious. When he saw the leopard cubs behaving so cautiously, he started to feel angry. “Males should behave like males. What’s with this behavior?”

As he said this, he swung his big hand and pried away a layer of dried grass, revealing three bare and pink skins covered with sores.

Parker’s swung hand hadn’t returned, but he stiffened.

“Howl!”

The leopard cubs were like girls who had their clothes torn up. They screamed as they darted into the grass pile. Without their furs, their wriggling bodies looked like fat worms.

Parker’s lips twitched. When he drew his hand back, putting the grass back to its original spot.

“You guys better continue hiding.”

His pitiful tone pierced the leopard cubs’ hearts, and they didn’t even moan anymore. They stuffed their heads into the grass pile and stayed close together.

Although the leopard cubs looked very pathetic, Bai Qingqing was still the one who had given birth to them. However, she still couldn’t help but feel like laughing.

She pursed her lips and stopped laughing, but her shoulders trembled uncontrollably. Not long later, her beautiful face flushed red.
