Bluepool and Anâan stayed in the castle. As he couldnât stand the filthiness and messiness in the house, after coaxing Anâan to sleep, Bluepool spent half a day cleaning up the stone castle.
After he was done, the five little fellows nearly couldnât recognize their own home. They excitedly ran around in the house.
In the past, they only werenât fond of playing at home because they couldnât find a place to stand. It was embarrassing.
Because of Anâan, Bluepool had bred enmity with the City of Beastmen ten years ago, even though Anâan had been handed to him by Winston personally.
As it wasnât convenient to show his face, and the young eagles and leopards cherished their younger sister, they took the initiative to provide food for them. As such, no beastmen in the city discovered they had returned.
Two days later, Anâanâs bleeding had indeed improved.
Bluepool was relieved. To err on the side of caution, he invited Harvey over for a follow-up consultation.
This time, Harvey merely edged closer to Anâan and sniffed, before saying with a smile, âSheâs indeed like her mother, her scent is slightly different from other femalesâ scent at the end of their estrous cycle. Nonetheless, she?can?get pregnant. Congratulations.â
Harvey was envious.
Anâan pressed against Bluepool. As it was noon, the weather was extremely hot, and mermenâs cooling bodies were the best respite from the heat for Anâan.
Bluepool lowered his head and gazed at her, still feeling that it was too early for her to go into heat at 13. He said worriedly, âIâm not planning to mate with Anâan. Iâm going to observe a little longer. Iâll leave her to you in the future.â
Harveyâs countenance changed instantly, and he said sternly, âBreeding opportunities are precious.â
After missing this opportunity, they would have to wait for the next year. Besides, she wouldnât necessarily conceive at first shot. Even though Anâan was Bai Qingqingâs daughter, there was no guarantee that she had equally potent reproductive abilities.
It wasnât an exaggeration to say that âheaven will not tolerate itâ should they give up this breeding opportunity just like that.
Other than the males in her family, Bai Qingqing hadnât told anyone about her menstrual cycle, including Harvey. Therefore, he cared very much about Anâan going into heat this time.
The friendliness disappeared from Bluepoolâs face, and he pulled Anâan into his arms. âAnâan is my spouse. I have the right to choose when to mate with her. Youâre being too meddlesome.â
The atmosphere between the two beasts turned tense in an instant.
Harvey was merely a stripeless beast. When faced with the three-striped Bluepool, it was immediately obvious who was more powerful.
He very quickly lost and left angrily.
Howl~
The young leopards and young eagles walked in.
Bluepoolâs face was clouded with worry as he asked, âWill he divulge our whereabouts to other beastmen?â
The young leopards shook their heads resolutely as they howled non-stop.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSeems like you guys trust Harvey a lot.â
The worry didnât diminish on Bluepoolâs face as he analyzed, âHowever, he firmly believes that Anâan is healthy and feels that giving birth early is good for her. As for me, Iâm but a beastman of another tribe. Iâm afraid he wonât continue to stand on my side.â
The little fellows also froze.
Bluepool rubbed Anâanâs stomach with a helpless look. âWe can leave now, but I wonât be able to find a trustworthy doctor to attend to her outside.â
Finally, he took a deep breath and made up his mind. âWeâll stay for now and take things one step at a time.â
Howl!
Screech!
Five half-grown beastmen puffed up their chests to express their attitudes of wanting to protect Anâan.
Back then, in order to fight for her, the City of Beastmen had been in a state of continuous battle. As Anâanâs older brothers, they hadnât even the right to speak up a word or two, burying seeds of resentment in their young hearts.
Later, Winston handed Anâan to Bluepool, and he became Anâanâs spouse that they acknowledged in their hearts.. Towards the males of the City of Beastmen, the five young beastmen didnât have any hatred towards them, but they were extremely unwilling for them to have anything to do with their sister.
