Chapter 588: Sleepless Night (5)

Bai Qingqing turned, and that the snake in the tree hole had coiled up and wasn’t moving, as if he had fallen asleep again.

Bai Qingqing put her hand to her head and exhaled before shouting toward the bottom of the tree, “Parker, come up for a moment.”

Parker was considered an expert given he was a three-striped beastman. Those wolf beastmen suffered in his hands and didn’t dare to approach him that much anymore, so he stayed nearby to help.

Hearing Bai Qingqing’s voice, he immediately climbed up the tree.

“What’s the matter?” asked Parker as he changed into his human form.

Bai Qingqing said, “Curtis says that the village needs to go through tempering, and I feel that it makes sense. However, if the fight continues like this, it’d be too dangerous for the females and the children. Why not gather all of them together so that you guys will be able to be more at ease when you head off to fight.”

In order to protect her, Parker was a little restrained in the battle. Hearing this, he was tempted. “Alright, but where?”

Bai Qingqing raised her brows and smiled. “What other place is safer than Bluepool’s territory?”

Parker’s eyes opened wide and his pupils contracted. He praised and said, “Good idea! I’ll send you and the children over first.”

“En,” Bai Qingqing replied. “I’ll take the lead. The other females might be more daring, then.”

Parker carried her and leaped out from the tree hole agilely, landing steadily on the ground.

The leopard cubs all jumped out in succession as well. However, they didn’t have their father’s strong physique and familiar movements and thus snorted after landing and rolled a few rounds. They quickly got up to their feet after that.

It was just that when they ran behind their father, all of them were limping a little.

Bai Qingqing told him to inform Ford first. She said, “Come, there’s a safe place.”

Ford brought his mate along without any hesitation. The moment he moved, Becky cried out anxiously, “Don’t leave me.”

“I won’t leave you. I’ll always be by your side.” Ford coaxed her in a gentle voice.

Parker felt a little envious to see Ford’s mate being so clingy.

If only Qingqing couldn’t bear to be apart from him at all times as well.

After they arrived at the waterhole, Bai Qingqing tossed a stone into the water. “Bluepool! Come out for a while.”

A circle of ripples appeared in the waterhole and a head quickly appeared. His long blue hair was scattered on the water surface, like an orchid that bloomed in the night. The moonlight lit up his exquisite features. His face was flawless and breathtakingly beautiful.

It was a pity that none of the audience could appreciate it.

Bai Qingqing turned and looked behind before saying, “Quickly, blow some bubbles. We’ll be hiding in your water for a while.”

“No problem.” Bluepool immediately agreed.

This was an easy feat for him. He submerged half of his head into the water, and soon, a blue bubble bulged out.

“Make it a little bigger. I’ll enter one bubble together with my children.”

Bluepool, who was about to stop, blew a few more breaths of air inside. Water kept on flowing out from the gills behind his ears, and he only stopped after the bubble was big enough to contain four people.

The wolf beastmen might have seen through their plan as a number of them came charging over from different directions.

“Growl!” Parker turned into his leopard form and stood in front of Bai Qingqing and the others.

“Come in quickly.” Bluepool urged and pushed the bubble to the sh.o.r.e.

Bai Qingqing got the leopard cubs to enter first before she entered the bubble.

Parker had gotten entangled with two wolves. Ford protected his mate and the newly born cubs, backing off to the edges of the waterhole.

A newly arrived wolf beastman took a look at them. He didn’t pounce toward Ford but headed straight for the waterhole.

Bluepool let out a cold laugh. They must be sick of living to dare to come to s.n.a.t.c.h someone from his territory.

He used his tail to send the bubble down into the water while using the counteracting force to shoot out toward the wolf beastman at lightning speed.

“Splas.h.!.+” A large patch of red started to spread in the water.
