Chapter 290 - Harvesting Wheat (2/2)

The little snakes followed them under the sun. Their ice-cold bodies made sizzling sounds reminiscent of a barbecue as they made contact with the scorching hot ground. The wet trails they left behind on the ground disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the time they had slithered back to the stone castle, all the water on their bodies had evaporated.

“Quickly go inside the house. It’s cooler there,” Bai Qingqing said.

The little snakes glanced in the direction of their bedroom and rubbed their bodies against Parker’s. “Ssss~”

Bai Qingqing tried to hold in her laughter as she glanced at Parker and asked, “Why are they close to you when they’re Curtis’s children?”

Parker made a “tch” sound and replied, “They just want to go play with me.” His golden eyes shone with the intimidation of an adult beastman as he turned towards the little snakes on the ground. “You’re not allowed to follow me. It’s sunny outside.”

“Ssss~” The little snakes lowered their heads and slowly slithered towards their bedroom.

…

Parker covered Bai Qingqing with some animal skin, then quickly ran towards a tree near their field.

Under the scorching sun, the golden wheat field shone so brightly that it dazzled. The wheat made swishing sounds as the wind blew, creating golden waves in the field. Several groups of birds of different species circled the field in the sky. A white tiger tried to chase these birds, but they always managed to sneakily eat the crops.

The rice field, on the other hand, didn’t have many birds. The beastmen had widened the nets and used logs to create a shelter, which was covered by another net made of bark. Birds weren’t able to go near the field at all. Hence, the beastmen only needed to patrol as usual.

“Winston!” Bai Qingqing jumped out of Parker’s arms and furiously waved at the white tiger. “You’ve worked hard!”

The white tiger jumped and bit two birds to death, then turned to look at Bai Qingqing and roared.
