Chapter 276 - The Ape King Is One Step Behind (2/2)

“I like to soak in water, so how heavy do you think it’ll be?” Curtis’s lips curled up as he patted Bai Qingqing’s back. “It’s been very long since I’ve swum in muddy water. It’s a pity that the temperature is too low. Otherwise, I can bring you out to play in the water.”

Curtis recalled the days he had spent alone with Bai Qingqing swimming and playing in the water. A faint smile crept upon his face.

As he said this, both Winston and Bai Qingqing were shocked.

…

In the ape castle, the wolf king was respectfully reporting the news. “The tiger king told the beastmen who were farming to take preventive measures against flooding. He said that there’s going to be heavy rain. Did you tell him that?”

“I didn’t.” The ape king smiled in disdain. “What tricks are they up to this time around?”

After saying that, the ape king walked to the window, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

The wolf king smiled as well. “So he’s just trying to please the people by saying impressive-sounding things.”

The wolf king had just said this when he realized that the ape king’s expression had suddenly turned solemn. He was surprised. “What’s the matter?”

The ape king opened his eyes abruptly, stumbling two steps back. The meditation from earlier seemed to have depleted a lot of his mental energy. “This is bad. A great storm is coming very soon!”

The wolf king was very surprised and said in a serious tone, “I’ll go inform the citizens immediately.”

The ape king’s hands were supported on the windowsill, his brows furrowed so tightly together that it seemed as if they could kill a fly. “How did Winston know that? Does the female have mental power as well?”

After saying that, he shook his head, denying this possibility. “That isn’t right. Even if the female has mental power, Bai Qingqing doesn’t even have a single animal stripe on her face. She shouldn’t be able to sense the weather changes.”

The wolf king asked, “Then what should we do?”

“Inform the tiger king and leopard king, and arrange for the beastmen to take turns keeping watch. We’ll protect the City of Beastmen and let Winston take care of those unimportant pieces of land,” the ape king said casually, but the gloominess in the depth of his eyes had divulged his unwillingness to accept this outcome.
