"There are some beastmen heading over here."
"Alva!" Bai Qingqing let out a surprised cry. "Why are you here?"
Alva broke into a bright smile at seeing her. "I secretly followed behind you. I've handed the village back over to my father."
"You!" Bai Qingqing couldn't be bothered to nag at him.
Parker wasn't in the mood to teach him a lesson. He walked outside the cave, not turning his head as he said to her, "Go hide further inside. Look after the cubs and don't let them run around."
Bai Qingqing could sense Parker's wary emotions and started to feel nervous as well. She quickly nodded. "Alright."
"Meow—"
The moment Bai Qingqing went in, two cubs hung onto her legs, leaving behind a few more scratches.
"Shush— Don't make a sound." Bai Qingqing hugged them. To ensure that they stayed quiet, she pulled down her clothing to feed them. For Third, who didn't get to eat, she just fed him with a finger.
