Chapter 428: Seeking Help from the Merfolks

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Curtis was in the sea, and Qingqing was thinking of searching for him while she was there?

But…

“The Cur, Ti, and S, you’re referring to are my leopard cubs?”

“Otherwise?” Bluepool threw him a strange glance.

Parker almost burst out laughing. Qingqing was too cheeky.

After such a goof, Parker became a little calmer. He took the fish and swam to the shores.

No matter what, he should first make sure that Qingqing was full. She was already at the bottom of the sea, and there was no way he’d be able to dive down. He could only rely on Curtis.

The fish was cooked very quickly, and not long later, Parker was done cooking a pot of fish soup. He passed it to Bluepool, who was in the sea.

Bluepool looked at the food soaked in water and frowned.

“You’ve put in so much water. What’s Bai Qingqing supposed to eat?”

Parker said coldly but proudly, “My Qingqing likes it this way.”

Bluepool looked at the fish soup doubtfully, blew out a bubble that was just nice to encase the stone bowl, then put the soup bowl in.

After watching the merfolk going into the sea, Parker looked toward the sea, not moving even after very long. Alva flew over and, with a “splash,” he landed into the water.

“Why did you let him go? We can just kill every single one that comes. How dare they snatch Qingqing. We won’t let them come up to the shores in the future.”

“What’s the use of killing him? Qingqing still won’t be able to come back.” Parker threw him a glance and said, “Thank you for today.”

“I’m Bai Qingqing’s suitor. Even if you didn’t ask me, I’d still come.”

Parker turned to swim to the shore, saying, “There’s no need for you for now. Take your birds with you and leave.”

“Do you have a way?” Alva was elated. He waved his hands and chased after Parker. “Quickly tell me.”

Parker didn’t pay him any more heed and went to the shore, sat on the beach, and looked toward the sea, not moving.

The temperature at the bottom of the sea was a lot lower than outside. In the beginning, Bai Qingqing was still able to tolerate it, but as time passed, she started shivering. She then looked for pieces of cloth with colorful prints and draped them over her.

The leopard cubs sniffed and looked around in the cave, leaving behind their pee in many corners. Bai Qingqing wasn’t planning on staying here permanently and thus didn’t care about that.

Bluepool brought back a white ball and returned to the cave. Bai Qingqing was happy to see him and quickly stood up, asking, “Did you see Parker? How is he?”

“He’s quite good. He even found a flock of peacocks to surround and attack me.” Bluepool wore an aggrieved expression.

Bai Qingqing was in no mood to pay him any attention. She asked, “What did he say? Did you tell him about Cur, Ti, and S?”

When Bluepool saw that his aggrieved expression wasn’t effective, he withdrew it. “I did. He even asked if Cur, Ti, and S are his cubs. He has even forgotten about his children’s name. That’s so abominable of him.”

“Pffft!” Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but burst out laughing, attracting Bluepool’s gaze.

“What are you laughing at?” He finally realized something was amiss and looked at her in doubt.

Bai Qingqing asked, “What are you holding in your hand? Why isn’t it translucent?”

“Ahh, it’s your food. It’s all steam inside.” Bluepool poked the bubble open, and a fishy fragrance immediately erupted out, filling the entire cave.

The cubs twitched their noses and came running over, shamelessly begging for food. “Meow—”

“You guys aren’t allowed to eat. Have you forgotten the lesson from yesterday?” Bai Qingqing smiled and flicked Eldest, who was closest to her. She then picked up the stone bowl to drink the soup.

The soup had been through the sea, and the temperature was just right. Bai Qingqing picked up the bowl and drank it without stopping.

Bluepool felt satisfied for some reason as he watched her eat. It was as if he had eaten as well.

Bai Qingqing threw him a glance, then shifted toward him and said, “Can you do me a favor?”
