The admiration in Winston’s eyes turned into a smile. He knew that Qingqing didn’t know much about this either and thus didn’t ask her. He lowered his head and continued to smash the bark.

The leopard cubs had been tired from all the crazy playing after returning home. They had just fallen asleep when they were woken up by the smashing sounds. All of them ran over to check things out.

Seeing that there was a large piece of unidentified object laid out in their home, the unfamiliar scent made them instinctively alarmed. As their parents were at home, they weren’t scared but lowered their heads and sniffed curiously.

Bai Qingqing was the width of the bark away from them. Seeing that their wet black noses kept on coming into contact with the bark, she couldn’t help but feel worried and said loudly, “Children, come over here.”

Howl~

The leopard cubs replied and jumped onto the bark, running over happily. Bai Qingqing’s heart trembled when she saw that. After the leopard cubs came over, she immediately checked the balls of their paws, only letting them go after she didn’t see any wounds,

The surface area of this bark was too big and smashing it was a strenuous job. However, beastmen had plenty of strength, and they were done in just two hours.

After the bark had been shattered from all the hammering, Winston picked up the bark from one side and shook it. The fragments fell off and a greenish-white fiber fabric was exposed to the air, emitting a strong plant scent.

It looked perfect from afar, and Bai Qingqing was extremely satisfied. However, from a closer view, Parker and Winston weren’t satisfied.

Because there were a lot of bark pieces on the fiber fabric that was hard to remove.

“Let’s clean up the floor and then hammer it again.” Parker discussed this with Winston.

Winston nodded, his brows slightly furrowed. He knew that no matter how much they hammered it, they wouldn’t be able to completely remove the fragments.

Bai Qingqing looked at them, and only after a long time did she notice the fine bark pieces on the fabric. She didn’t mind and waved her hand, saying, “No need, that’d be so troublesome. Soak it in the river first and clean up the poison completely. The bark might become clean, then. If that doesn’t work, we’ll think of another solution.”

Parker felt that it made sense and immediately said, “Alright.”

He then dragged the bark that was a lot lighter back to the courtyard. He only took the fiber fabric with him, leaving pieces of bark all over the house. The amount was quite impressive.

Children had a strong sense of curiosity, and they found it interesting that the house was filled with trash. The leopard cubs wanted to run over to play again.

Bai Qingqing quickly stopped them. “Don’t do that. Come with Mommy back to the room.”

“Howl~” The leopard cubs howled unwillingly toward their mommy, but seeing that she looked firm, they lowered their tails dejectedly and then looked at the bark all over the ground, heading toward their bedroom sadly.

Winston smiled, got a broom, and quickly cleaned up the main hall. He was afraid that the leopard cubs might lick the floor after smelling the scent and thus even washed the floor with water twice.

When everything was cleaned up, it was already dark outside.

When Parker came back from the backyard, he also brought back Bai Qingqing’s dinner and bathwater. He held onto a big bowl that was full of food with one hand and a stone basin weighing several ten kilograms filled with hot water with the other. It didn’t seem hard for him at all, and the muscles on his arms didn’t bulge either.

Bai Qingqing was still a little surprised to see that her mate was this strong.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” When Parker saw that his mate was staring at him, he couldn’t help but look at his body. When he saw the black ashes on his body, he said, “I’ll go wash up later.”

Bai Qingqing smiled, not explaining herself. She reached out her neck and said, “What did you cook for me?”

Her nose twitched, and before Parker replied, Bai Qingqing guessed it. “It’s fish soup, right?”

Parker said, “It’s leftovers from lunch.”
