Curtis looked at all the food that was sliced up messily, with a lot of the blood having flowed out, and wore a disdainful expression.
He then turned into his full beast state, selectively swallowing a few limbs that appeared to be in a slightly better state.
The leopard cubs docilely stayed by Winston’s side, only dashing up excitedly after receiving their daddy’s approval. They bit onto the wolves’ corpses and tore at them. They even imitated their daddy and scratched with their claws, causing their paws to be stained in blood.
“How is it?” asked Winston as he carried Bai Qingqing and walked up to Parker.
Parker said proudly, “Not bad. They’re too sharp and aren’t needed for hunting. But when fighting against beastmen, it’d definitely provide an advantage.”
“Can I teach your method of making this to the village?” Winston asked for his approval.
Parker’s lips twitched as if he didn’t mind. “I don’t mind. I feel that these claws aren’t agile enough, I’ll still need to improve on them. You can wait to teach them after I’m done with that.”
“Okay.”
Bai Qingqing found it hard to join their conversation. She was bored and played with An’an occasionally while looking around.
“There’s so much meat. How are we going to bring them back later?” Bai Qingqing asked, trying to find something to say.
Winston pressed her right ear, pressing her into his arms. He then used his chest to block Bai Qingqing’s left ear, opening his mouth to let out a deafening tiger roar that could break one’s eardrums.
Even though her ears had been covered, Bai Qingqing could still sense the intense trembling through his chest.
Bai Qingqing quickly took a look at An’an. Thankfully, she was slightly further away from the source of the sound and had only been given a scare. She didn’t seem to have any discomfort.

“You called for help from the village?” Bai Qingqing asked.
“En,” Winston replied in a deep voice. “We won’t waste food.”
Bai Qingqing felt relieved and said, smiling, “That’s great. When I first came, Parker had killed many wolves and didn’t bring them along. Thinking about it now, I feel that it was such a pity.”
Parker spoke up for himself in dissatisfaction, “We were in the hot season, there was no lack of food. Even if I were to call them, they wouldn’t come. Moreover, the corpses would have disappeared by themselves if they were left there. Other wild beasts would come to eat them.”
Thinking that it was true, Bai Qingqing said in a soft voice, “I’m just saying.”
She then passed him an animal skin skirt, saying, “Quickly put it on.”
Parker received the animal skin skirt and put it around his waist.
Very soon, tiger beastmen from the village came to pick up the food. This was something that only the tiger tribe’s males could get. The other tribes couldn’t understand what Winston had said and could only be put at a disadvantage.
The food that Curtis ate was quickly compressed by his powerful stomach, left to be slowly digested. He then turned back to his half-beast form.
An’an started struggling, crying out “ahh ahh”.
“An’an must be hungry, right? Mommy will feed you right away,” Bai Qingqing said softly and opened up her clothes, feeding An’an with great familiarity.
The cold air darted into Bai Qingqing’s chest together with An’an, causing her to shudder.
“Let’s go back. It’s cold outside.” Curtis seemed to be like an inflated balloon and had regained his spirits. He walked toward Bai Qingqing, clearly planning to carry her.
Winston’s arms uncontrollably tightened around Bai Qingqing, his fists clenched tightly together.
Curtis’s eyes narrowed, and the scent of gunpowder suddenly rose up between them.

Both of them were beastmen who tended to remain motionless, and Bai Qingqing didn’t notice their secret exchange.
Bai Qingqing couldn’t bear to go back. She took a look at the plants in the surroundings and said, “So many leaves have grown outside. There might be some that can be eaten. Let’s take a look around.”
Parker said, “Leave the food to me. You guys bring Qingqing back first.”
