The two figures holding onto plant umbrellas in the rain suddenly came to a stop.

The ape king spurted out a mouthful of blood, stumbled two steps, and only stabilized after holding onto the wolf king for support.

“Your Majesty!” The wolf king quickly supported the ape king, saying in astonishment, “To think that you’re so seriously injured? I’ll go teach that snake beastman a lesson!”

Saying that the wolf king was about to turn around when the ape king grabbed onto the wolf king’s arm. His fingers were a lot longer than ordinary beastmen, almost wrapping the wolf king’s thick and muscular arm completely.

“You aren’t a match for him.”

The wolf king’s two thick brows furrowed so tightly together that they touched, and he said, “How would we know if we if don’t fight? It’s been over ten years since I’ve become a four-striped beastman.”

“He’s a feral beast. He has encountered more danger and training than we have. He’s a lot stronger than those at the same level.” The ape king let go of the wolf king, then walked on forward slowly. “It’s only today that I realized he’s a lot stronger than I imagined him to be. He’s definitely the strongest beastman in the City of Beastmen.”

The wolf king couldn’t help but stop in his footsteps for a moment. After coming back to his senses, he then quickly caught up, saying in surprise, “Even stronger than the tiger king?”

“If you and the tiger king were to join forces, the two of you should be able to defeat him.” The ape king’s gaze turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, “Therefore, it’s best to get Bai Qingqing on our side. Otherwise… we can only eliminate them completely.”

…

On that very day, a few beastmen came to bring food for Bai Qingqing. However, they weren’t able to catch a glimpse of her at all and were scolded and chased away by Parker when they got close to the stone house.

The rain had been getting lighter in recent days, and the temperature had been turning lower. It seemed that the rainy season was going to be over soon. Unknowingly, the willow trees by the river had lost their green colors. The City of Beastmen was in a state of decadence.

Bai Qingqing’s stomach had become really big, and she wasn’t able to see her feet when she looked down. Although she ate a lot every day, not only did she not get fatter, but she had also clearly gotten slimmer. Even her slightly rounded chin had turned sharp.

When her appet.i.te reached a peak, she suddenly lost appet.i.te, unable to eat anything at all.

“My stomach feels so stretched out.” Bai Qingqing lay down on the gra.s.s pile, stroking her stomach with her hand non-stop. She felt so bad that she wanted to cry.

Curtis’s children were simply monsters, suddenly bulging up in the past half a month. If she had been together with Curtis from the moment she transmigrated here, and then gotten pregnant, she would definitely a.s.sociate her life with horror movies like “Alien”. She would definitely suspect that her stomach would suddenly explode and many small snakes would crawl out.

Parker immediately got up, ran to the main room, and brought over a bamboo section. “I’ll help you to apply oil.”

“En, en.” Bai Qingqing removed her outer garment. The moment she did so, she felt so cold that she shuddered.

Parker poured a bit of oil onto his hand, rubbed both hands together till it warmed up, then evenly applied it onto Bai Qingqing’s stomach. After applying a layer of oil as a lubricant, the tearing feeling weakened a lot.

This wasn’t a method that Bai Qingqing thought of. A doctor from the ape tribe had come to tell them to do this a long time ago. Beastmen had a short pregnancy period, and their stomachs could suddenly become bigger, so delicate females might not be able to withstand that. Therefore, there was a need to think of ways to provide relief.

Rustling sounds rang out from the main room, and Curtis, in his semi-beast form, slithered into the bedroom. He said to Bai Qingqing happily, “I caught a wild boar. Which part of it do you want to eat?”

Bai Qingqing put on her clothes and sat up with great difficulty, shaking her head while wearing a bitter expression. “I don’t feel like eating anything.”

“You haven’t eaten anything for the entire day.” Saying that Curtis suddenly seemed as if he recalled something and his red pupils that looked as translucent as a glaze suddenly expanded.

“Alright, then don’t eat.”

Bai Qingqing threw a strange glance at him. As she hadn’t been eating, Curtis had been taking on a strong stance, forcing her to eat. He had already caught a few preys that she usually liked to eat today. Why did he suddenly change his att.i.tude?

Parker knew that during their pregnancies, females’ taste in food would change. He said anxiously, “How can you not eat? Do you feel like eating rice? I can cook it for you.”

Saliva was secreted in Bai Qingqing’s mouth, and she suddenly felt like eating the rice that she had forgotten for over a month. “Alright.”
