Chapter 445 - Curtis Is Here (2) (2/2)

Only upon asking for the reason did she find out that he even went to ambush the ape king, and after that was chased by a group of merfolk to the shore. He couldn’t bear to stay too far away from the shore, so he had climbed up a tree. That group of merfolk had fled in unison when Curtis arrived.

“You really disregarded your life, to even dare to trifle with a formidable character like the ape king.”

Feeling a lingering fear, Bai Qingqing walked to his side to check on his wounds. The sight of his flesh underneath his torn skin made her feel awful.

“If I had taken care of Jean on the shore, you wouldn’t have been put in danger.”

There wasn’t a tinge of remorse in Parker’s tone, making Bai Qingqing feel both touched and angry.

“It’s more important to stay alive! Your rate of success was too low.”

Parker let out a chuckle. He pulled Bai Qingqing’s hand and said, “Let’s go to the peacock village to pick up our babies. They haven’t eaten for half a day, they must be hungry to the point of tears.”

“You didn’t find them a female leopard?”

“How could I have the time to?”

Back then, he really wanted to just hide his kids in the cave. In fact, if Alva hadn’t stopped him from doing so, that was exactly what he would do.

Bai Qingqing was so furious that she punched him with her cotton-like fist.

“Babies?”

Curtis asked in a low voice.

With the sunlight looming overhead, his slim and long shadow was cast next to Bai Qingqing, making her feel nervous.

She nodded and said, “Yes, I gave birth to a litter of leopard cubs. They’re already half a month old now.”

The shadow continued to move forward until it stood taller than Bai Qingqing’s shadow.

Curtis reached out and pulled her into his embrace as he said, “That’s great. Bring me to take a look.”

Bai Qingqing felt herself relax as she raised her head to look at him. “Mm.”
