When in the water, his speed advantage was completely gone.
Curtis even raised his tail slowly, sending him flying with a lash of his tail just as Parker was about to come swimming over.
Parker was like a piece of tile, hitting the surface of the water three to four times before sinking into the water.
âHahahahaha...â
Bai Qingqing laughed so hard that she had to hold onto her stomach. That couldnât do. She was going to laugh to death.
Curtis looked toward her impatiently and said, âTake your leopard in rein!â
Bai Qingqing knew that if things were left alone, Curtis was really going to get angry. She felt a little regretful and quickly said to Parker, âParker, stop fooling around. Come over and get some rest.â
Roar! If youâre capable, then letâs fight on the land!

Parker let out a howl, unwilling to accept this result. He paddled his way and swam to Bai Qingqingâs side.
âCurtis, how old were you when you became a four-striped beastman?â Parker was unwilling to let this matter rest. He asked after turning back into his human form.
Bai Qingqing felt curious about it as well, but Curtis wasnât like Parker, who was forced into it. He had slowly fought his way up without taking any shortcuts.
Curtis was only in his forties, but he was already a stripeless beast.
Other people couldnât level up despite being a four-striped beastman for several decades. How outstanding was Curtisâs aptitude to be able to reach this height in his forties?
Curtis shook his head. âI donât remember. I only remember that I was a three-striped beastman the year I came of age.â
Parker was forced into silence, completely convinced by Curtis.
He was only a two-striped beastman when he came of age. This was considered a rare aptitude in the City of Beastmen then. However, it was nothing when compared to Curtis.
The few of them had a good soak in the lake and only packed up to leave after Bai Qingqing started to feel uncomfortable from the sun.
They found a large boulder near the lake and Parker chiseled a hole into the back of the boulder that could fit four.
It could be the effect of the sunbathing that Bai Qingqingâs cold ailments had gotten a lot better.
It was just that it was too hot. The air felt like it was lit with fire, and it scorched their skin.
Bai Qingqing made a coat out of animal skin, not to protect her from the cold, but to keep out the heat.
Animal skin had a good insulating effect. Air currents could move between the body and animal skin, bringing a hint of coolness. It was a lot more comfortable than if she didnât wear it.
âItâs rare that we came to the desert. Letâs just treat it as a vacation, which means, to get some fun. Letâs go and have some fun,â Bai Qingqing said excitedly. âIâm feeling a little hungry too. How about we try to look for food while having fun?â
âYou only know to have fun, acting like a child.â Parker tapped on Bai Qingqingâs nose, feeling that she was still like when he just met her.
It was actually the same for him. He also wanted to go around and check things out.
He purposely acted as if he was giving in to Bai Qingqing, letting out a sigh and saying, âAlright, weâll accompany you walking around.â
How could Bai Qingqing not know what he was thinking? She rolled her eyes in amusement.
âYou guys should get up quickly as well. The luggage will be safe if left here, right?â Bai Qingqing took a look at Winston and Curtis, urging them.
Winston patted Anâan, feeling regret.
Female children were too weak and wouldnât be able to be out in the sun for a prolonged period of time. Therefore, he wasnât planning to go.
Curtis suddenly said, âYou guys go ahead. I want to get some rest. Leave the luggage and Anâan to me.â
Bai Qingqing took a look at the piercing light rays outside, wearing a look of pity. âThen, have a good rest. Weâll go out to play again in the evening next time.â
Curtis smiled. âAlright.â
Winston was considered to have gotten away with the good end of things. He handed the sleeping Anâan to Curtis and then stood up.
Curtis then said, âDonât eat too much.â
Bai Qingqing instantly was dumbfounded. âI understand!â
