Chapter 475 - Looking for Food (3) (2/2)

The chestnut forest was situated not far away. Compared to the thick trees surrounding them, these trees were so short that they resembled a patch of weeds. However, the tiger beastmen protected these trees very well, and Parker only noted it because he felt it was strange.

Although there didn’t seem anything spectacular about the tree at first glance, upon a closer look, Bai Qingqing suddenly spotted a lot of green prickly balls on it. She shouted delightedly, “So many!”

Parker set her down and removed the animal skin bag from his waist. “I’ll go and pick the prickly balls. Follow closely behind me. We’re no longer in an area guarded by the tiger beastmen.”

“Mmmm.” Bai Qingqing nodded in understanding. She held onto Parker’s tail and followed closely behind him, gazing around as they moved forward.

Parker climbed up a tree to pick the prickly fruits, while Bai Qingqing kept a lookout for him below. Suddenly, she saw the figure of a beast under a tree not far away. She quickly alerted Parker to it. “There’s something over there.”

Parker instantly jumped down the tree and went over to check it out.

A tiger darted out from under the tree and transformed into a human on the spot. He wrapped an animal skin skirt around his waist and strode over.

“Bai Qingqing?” That tiger beastman ran over. There were no animal stripes on his chestnut-colored face, and his eyes were filled with delight as he gazed at her.

He seemed to have just come of age, the age when one’s interest in the opposite sex was first awakened. There wasn’t a bachelor tiger beastman male who wasn’t moved by Bai Qingqing’s beauty. Naturally, this one was no exception.

However, none of the bachelor young beastmen were as powerful as Parker, and males who had the same number of animal stripes tended to be advanced in age and already had spouses. This was why Bai Qingqing had yet to be confessed to since her arrival.

But since he bumped into her, it wouldn’t be in line with the beastmen’s forthright temperament if he didn’t show his face.

“My name is Bark. I’ve just come of age this season.” Bark was so nervous that he didn’t quite know where to place his hands. He scratched his head with a prickly ball, turning his hair into a mess.

Bai Qingqing, who instantly realized that this was one of her admirers, felt regretful.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have made a sound. It must have been her voice that had attracted Bark here.

“Hello.” Bai Qingqing greeted him with a faint smile out of politeness. She felt strange seeing the prickly fruit in his hands.

Carnivorous males usually didn’t eat fruits, and females only ate some sweet fruits, but not vegetables.
