With a choked feeling in her throat, Bai Qingqing steeled her heart and pried the little snake away from her. “Mommy needs to go back now. Be good and eat more meat. Grow stronger faster, so you won’t fear your daddy will hit you anymore.”
The little snake stared at Bai Qingqing with an aggrieved look written all over his blood-red eyes.
Ssss~
Bai Qingqing bent over and planted a kiss on the little snake’s forehead once more, feeling equally reluctant to part. But she had to maintain the resilient manner of a mother in front of the little snake. Thus, she said with a smile, “Mommy is leaving now. Stay here, Parker will send you out later.”
The little snake leaned against her and didn’t budge an inch.
Bai Qingqing coaxed, “We’ll meet again when the skies clear up.”
Ssss~ Only then did the little snake nod and retract his body from her.
Parker lifted her and strode towards the entrance. The little snake followed closely behind as they left.
Bai Qingqing saw that over Parker’s shoulders, and her eyes watered up instantly. She waved at the little snake. “Go back in and don’t e after us!”
The little snake halted and hissed at her. She watched the little snake, and not sure if it was her hallucination, but she could hear his voice even when he vanished from her sight.
Bai Qingqing blinked. Unable to hold back her tears, they slipped down and moistened her face.
“I brought you out to cheer you up, not to make you cry.” Parker’s heart ached to see Bai Qingqing this way. He tightened his hold around her. “Stop crying, or else I won’t dare to bring you out next time.”
Bai Qingqing immediately glared at him. “You dare! … Fine, I won’t cry.”
With one arm circled around her, Parker wiped the tears off her face with his other hand. He said with a smile, “That’s more like it.” As he spoke, Parker seemed to catch sight of something, for he pointed in a direction and said, “There’s fungus over there. Do you want to eat it?”
She quickly looked over and nodded. “Yes.”
The mention of food made her tears stop flowing pletely.
As Parker walked over to the fungus, his lips involuntarily curled. Qingqing truly was a glutton.
When they returned to the village, Parker washed the fungus in the waterhole. Standing behind Parker, Bai Qingqing’s reflection could be seen on the water surface. Shortly after, a blue figure rose from the water.
Splash~
Following that splash, a blue-haired gorgeous man bobbed from the water surface. “I finally get to see you again.”
“Bluepool,” Bai Qingqing greeted him with a smile. “It’s really been a long time since I last saw you. Has your injury pletely healed?”
“It’s long healed.” Bluepool merely stared at her and sized her up from head to toe, before his vision finally landed upon her belly.
Knowing that Bai Qingqing was carrying a female baby, Bluepool’s countenance couldn’t help but change. It took him quite a while before he finally managed to snap out of his trance. Bai Qingqing wasn’t from the merfolk tribe, she wasn’t going to die from giving birth to a female baby.
He sighed emotionally. “How nice you females on land have it, to be able to conceive female babies when you’re young.” Unlike them, merfolk, who when pregnant with a female baby meant that their lives were about to end.
The arrival of a new female was clearly a joyous matter, yet due to this reason, it became a solemn affair.
“Hehe… An’an will be born in another three months’ time. When that happens, I’ll bring her over for you to take a look,” Bai Qingqing said with a smile. As she spoke, she kicked her numb legs. Ever since she got pregnant, her legs tended to get sore easily.
A delighted expression surfaced in Bluepool’s eyes. “Really? Then, I’ll be waiting. I won’t hibernate now.”
“Err…” Bai Qingqing thought, since An’an was a female baby and would be as delicate and frail as a human baby, it would be at least one month before she could be brought out.
