Chapter 489 Aftermath
Parker ran to the water's edge, fished out the oil and water with his hands, and said, "How can we fish out such a big piece of oil floating on the water? Forget it, let's go back to sleep."
"No!" Bai Qingqing immediately retorted, "I've thought about it a long time ago and I can fish it out."
Bai Qingqing didn't dare to look at Lan Ze and took out the tools he had prepared earlier from behind the stone.
A crescent-shaped branch, a stone bowl for eating, and an oil drum.
The branch was half as long as the puddle. Bai Qingqing put it on the water surface and pulled it in, and the oil was brought in. The branches are very thin and can be rolled into a round shape with a little force. The oil layer trapped inside becomes thicker at first glance.
Bai Qingqing held the branch in both hands and said to Parker standing next to her: "Parker, help me scoop it up."
Parker was so impressed that he picked up the bowl to scoop out the oil and water and said, "Qingqing, you are so smart."
Bai Qingqing glanced at Lan Ze on the shore and just sighed.
Using the branches, the oil in the puddles quickly fades away. Lan Ze slipped into the water and floated up after a while, with no expression on his face: "The light has penetrated, you can go back to sleep."
Bai Qingqing glanced at him. Parker and Curtis were both there. She had nothing to say, nodded and put down the tool.
The three of them returned to the tree hole, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
It was impossible to see any fingers in the tree hole. Such an atmosphere made Bai Qingqing a little uneasy. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Curtis say: "Mermaids are not land orcs, they are just like us snake beasts... Don't do such things again, He really knows how to kill females.”
"I know." Bai Qingqing responded in a low voice. She had already regretted it when she saw Jasmine being dragged into the water. Fortunately, Jasmine was okay.
Hearing his partner's low tone, Curtis hugged her unconsciously, took a piece of animal skin and wrapped it around her body, his voice became a little warmer: "Let him choose his own partner, he is not your responsibility .”
With that said, Curtis changed the topic: "If his target is you, I will kill him."
Bai Qingqing felt a sudden change in her heart. Fortunately, she didn't tell Curtis that Lanze was pestering her every day in the sea to mate.
Curtis slowly stretched his snake's tail, feeling that his body was getting sleepier, and said: "I'm going to hibernate in the cold season. You can find a tiger male to be your partner, and Parker will take turns taking care of you. Mermaids can't be on the shore. Hunting, so I don’t accept him.”
Bai Qingqing was so shocked that she waved her hands and shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I don't want anyone else, just you two."
Speaking of getting married, Bai Qingqing thought of Moore who almost accepted it, and clenched her fists suddenly.
Looking back on her stupid gratitude to Parker, if it weren't for being held by Curtis, Bai Qingqing would have hit her head against the wood.
No, that memory must be sealed away. It’s so stupid that I can’t even think about it! Don’t even think about getting married!
When Parker heard Bai Qingqing's assurance, he felt excited and confidently said: "I think the male we met outside today is pretty good. Although he doesn't have animal markings, he still has basic hunting abilities. It can be used in the cold season." Yes, Curtis, what do you think?"
"Whatever." Curtis said, as long as it doesn't threaten Xiaobai's love for him.
"Hey! Parker! What kind of male is that!?" Bai Qingqing jumped out of Curtis's arms angrily, saw Parker's blurry figure, and chased him.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
The cubs also joined in the fun with their mother, biting their father's feet below. Bai Qingqing couldn't see them, and stepped on two little leopards in succession until they whined.
Liveliness and warmth returned to the tree hole.
