“Probably not, but there are so many rooms in the castle—there are a few wood sheds next to the pit, just shift a few bundles of firewood out and people can sleep in them.” Bai Qingqing said with keen interest, “Also, salt powder and whatnot—it won’t kill someone to go without for a few days… the tiger king is not obliged to provide that.”

The frightened Eudora didn’t dare to blab nonsense anymore. After glaring at Bai Qingqing to show that she wasn’t willing to admit defeat, she went downstairs.

She had just gone down the stairs when her body abruptly stopped in its tracks. “Tig… tiger king.”

There were two tiger beastmen standing downstairs, and one of them was Winston. He was holding a plate of vegetables and meat, his face so tense it made him resemble a wooden sculpture as he looked up at Eudora.

Body trembling, Eudora ran away frantically.

Winston handed the food tray to the tiger beastman standing beside him, and said in a deliberately lowered voice, “Help me bring this up, I’ll go to the fields to take a look.”

“Yes.” The tiger beastman also responded in a hushed tone. He received the food tray and gazed at Winston worriedly.

Winston turned around and left in big strides.

Eve squatted down and patted the heads of her leopard cubs, then said in a gentle and soft voice, “Help Mommy look for ants… those tiny black bugs that would drag away your unfinished food.”

“Purr—”

The little cubs purred merrily, before lowering their heads and commencing their search.

Dismissing Eudora from her thoughts, Bai Qingqing asked, “Do you understand what they’re saying?”

“Of course, I’m a leopard female,” Eve replied with a smile as she pulled Bai Qingqing along to follow her leopard cubs.

Bai Qingqing felt envious. As a human, regardless of what she gave birth to, there was a 100% chance she wouldn’t be able to understand a word!

“Bai Qingqing!”

The unfamiliar voice of a tiger beastman from behind made Bai Qingqing turn her head. “Were you calling me?”
