Chapter 250 - End of the Cold Season (1/2)

The baby snakes had a tremendous appetite, only feeling full after each of them ate food that amounted to half of their own size.

The weather was still cold, and after they had their fill, they crawled back into their nest and slept. Bai Qingqing lifted the heavy basket and placed them in Parker’s nest, then covered them up with a small piece of animal skin.

A gust of warm breeze had arrived at the City of Beastmen these few days, and the accumulating snow was melting rapidly, revealing the dark brown earth.

The severe frost that had just passed by wiped away all the colors from the earth, except that of the soil. However, the willow trees by the river spurted out hints of green, and the wind brought along the scent of the soil and spring with it.

The young snakes grew especially quickly, changing appearances by the day. Less than 10 days had passed, but the bamboo basket was no longer sufficient to contain them. Every time they entered the basket to sleep, they would look like a tall pile of mala noodles[1].

Bai Qingqing took off her heavy restraints and was now able to go out wearing only a layer of animal skin now.

“Come, come, let’s go outside to play.” Bai Qingqing backed off and moved out of the door, telling the young snakes to follow her.

This was the first time the young snakes went out. They looked at the big world outside and their eyes were filled with curiosity.

The young snakes slithered out in turns, flicking their tongues. Then, the 19 small snakes spread out on reflex.

“Oh god!”

Seeing the young snakes crawling further and further away, Bai Qingqing felt that things weren’t good and quickly called out toward them, “Don’t run around! Quickly come back!”

The young snakes paused for a moment. Then, seeing that the world outside seemed to be calm, they continued exploring. This time around, it was useless no matter how Bai Qingqing called out at them.

Bai Qingqing felt extremely regretful and anxiously ran back into the bedroom. “Curtis, look at our sons! They’ve all ran off!”

The reason Curtis took the risk to have this nest of children was to create the opportunity for his mate to look to him for help. He laid in his nest sluggishly, looked at Bai Qingqing, and said calmly, “They’ll come back.”

Bai Qingqing rubbed both feet against each other to take off her shoes, then walked into the nest to push Curtis’s tail. She said anxiously, “Quickly go out and take a look. They’ve run very far away. They are so small that we won’t even know if they were to fall into the river.”
