Third arrived late. Standing opposite Bai Qingqing, he gazed at his mother pitifully with those large eyes of his.

Meow~Meow~Meow~Meow~Meow~

He purred consecutively in identical tones each time, just like a repeater.

“Oh dear, when can you be faster like your older brothers?” Bai Qingqing tapped on Third’s head and said lovingly, “You will receive your share. Wait for a bit.”

Meow~Meow~Meow~Meow~

Like a “repeater,” he kept repeating the same sounds.

Bai Qingqing had no choice but to retract her chopsticks. Third only stopped after he got a taste of it.

After finis.h.i.+ng the turtle in the bowl, Bai Qingqing squatted next to the pot like a puppy. “Parker, is it ready?”

Parker stroked Bai Qingqing’s puppy head. “The turtle is easy to cook. It’s ready.”

“Oh!”

Bai Qingqing cheered and obediently held out her bowl. Parker filled her bowl with it, and she started eating it, satisfied.

As there wasn’t rice, Parker cooked the dishes to be blander, so that they didn’t taste cloying when eaten on their own.

Bai Qingqing felt immensely pleased both physically and mentally after filling her tummy with the turtle.

She wondered how much could such a big pot sell for in the modern days.

After the meal, Bai Qingqing felt an increasingly swollen sensation in her chest. Seemed like turtles had better lactation effects than trotters?

“Babies, time to eat.” Bai Qingqing called over her cubs to settle the problem.

“Meow—”

Eldest let out a weak purr, then ran outside, bent his hind legs, and started p.o.o.ping. Second and Third, too, ran outside and p.o.o.ped at the same spot.

The three brothers instinctively kicked their hind limbs, even though the p.o.o.p was actually right in front of them. Hence, no matter how they kicked their hind legs, they couldn’t bury it.

Parker resignedly went out to help them bury it. “Next time p.o.o.p by the side. I’ll smack you if you p.o.o.p at the entrance again.”

“Cubs, hurry over. Look who runs the fastest.” Bai Qingqing helped to ease the situation.

The three little cubs sprinted towards Bai Qingqing, collapsing right beside her legs as though all energy had been drawn from them.

“What’s going on? Are you tired from playing outside today?” Bai Qingqing scooped up Eldest and realized his fur was wet. Flipping him over, she saw that Eldest’s tail was stained with wet p.o.o.p.

Eldest’s p.o.o.p had never been this watery before. Bai Qingqing immediately checked Second and Third and discovered that it was the same situation for all three of them—even their furs were stained with p.o.o.p.

No wonder they suddenly fell by her side. So they were having diarrhea?

“Parker, is their p.o.o.p very watery?” Bai Qingqing asked Parker, who was standing at the cave entrance.

“A bit.” He paused for a moment, before asking, “Why is there so much?”

If it was just one spot, Parker wouldn’t care. But there were several piles of p.o.o.p here, which didn’t exist before the meat was cooked. It was such a short amount of time, and they had already p.o.o.ped several times. The babies were undoubtedly having diarrhea.

“What’s going on? Did they catch a cold?”

Bai Qingqing wiped the leopard cubs’ little b.u.t.ts with a tree leaf, then touched their noses and paws. Their body temperature was rather normal.

Other than bringing them out to play today, the only other thing was that she had fed them meat soup.

“Could it be because of the soup?” Bai Qingqing felt regretful as she held her cubs tightly to her chest.

The leopard cubs were particularly docile right now, not making any noises or kicking up a fuss, merely lying obediently in their mother’s arms and breathing quietly.

“I told you not to feed that to them, and you wouldn’t listen,” Parker said in pa.s.sing. Seeing Bai Qingqing pout upon hearing his words, he felt so regretful he wished he could just cut his tongue off.

With a bitter expression, she said, “I didn’t feed that to them. I merely let them lick the soup a little. I won’t do it again.”

“It just smells a little, they should get well soon. No need to worry excessively.” Parker comforted her.

“Mm.”

Even though her babies still wanted to eat more, Bai Qingqing hardened her heart and refused to let them have their way.
