Muir still didn’t understand her unique menstrual cycle and the guess was quickly suppressed by his common knowledge. However, Bai Qingqing unexpectedly gave him an affirmative reply.

“I think so.” Bai Qingqing ate the fruit while saying it seemingly casually, perfectly concealing her embarra.s.sment. However, her flushed face betrayed her mercilessly.

Muir couldn’t help but go into a daze from looking at her. Only after a while did he understand the meaning behind her words, and his heartbeat quickened.

Bai Qingqing swallowed the fruit she hadn’t chewed thoroughly with difficulty and her throat hurt from being sc.r.a.ped. However, she couldn’t care about these things. Her face was red as she said, “I feel that we should make some preparations earlier.”

Muir’s heartbeat was so intense that it felt as if his heart was going to jump out from his throat. However, it wasn’t because of them having children. It was because he could be intimate with her again.

At the thought of their extremely intimate contact the previous time, Muir’s breathing started to accelerate.

However, Muir shook his head with determination, stroking Bai Qingqing’s face and saying, “You’re too skinny. It’s better to wait till next time.”

The next time he was referring to was clearly next year. It was common knowledge to beastmen that females would go into heat once a year.

Bai Qingqing didn’t want to appear too anxious either, so she thought to herself to leave things be then. Anyway, it was just one month.

“Hey! Hurry up! I want to eat fruits!” Molly’s voice rang out from the opposite side.

Bai Qingqing immediately looked over and replied in a loud voice, “Alright! We’re coming!”

After things were sorted out with Muir, Bai Qingqing turned her head and climbed toward another spot in order to avoid the uneasy atmosphere. “Let’s quickly pick the fruits. They’re still waiting.”

Muir held her down and said with a firm tone, “No, Alva will smell your scent.”

Thankfully, Alva was a bird species with a bad sense of smell. Otherwise, a problem would definitely arise.

Bai Qingqing paused and smelled her arms, frowned, then said, “Alright, then. I’ll stay here and enjoy the wind. You don’t have to care about me. Quickly go pick fruits.”

Muir felt worried and hesitated for a moment, only then did he give in after seeing that the branches were really full. He then climbed around to pick fruits agilely.

These fruits looked like apples, but they were more crisp and juicy. They tasted better than apples and could be stored for very long. Therefore, Muir plucked a lot of them.

After he was done, Bai Qingqing’s sweat dried from the wind too. He put on her coat and then took another whiff. When they headed back, he still felt worried and thus constantly paid attention to Alva’s reaction.

Thankfully, Alva’s sense of smell was duller and he didn’t notice any abnormality. He just felt spooked from Muir’s stare and didn’t dare to take a single step closer to Bai Qingqing.

Under Anna’s ravage, An’an’s exquisite face showed agony. When she saw her mommy coming over, she revealed a relaxed expression.

However, she didn’t know that her expression that was different from what she usually wore made her mommy even more determined to bring her out to “play” with Anna often.

Bai Qingqing pinched An’an’s little face that Anna had left many muddy handprints on. She used the snake scale hanging around her neck to cut up one fruit, stuffing it into An’an’s mouth.

After playing for a few hours, An’an felt thirsty too. She sucked the fruit and chewed away. Her hands, which were also stained with soil, hugged her mommy’s arms, expressing her wish to go home.

“Alright, we’ll go back after finis.h.i.+ng this fruit.” Bai Qingqing smiled and tapped her nose.

What gave Bai Qingqing a pleasant surprise was that An’an clearly understood her and stopped urging her to go home. Instead, she quickened the speed at which she ate the fruit.
