nAs they were talking, before she realized it, they had reached a grassland outside the valley.

nThis grassland was the entrance Parker carried Bai Qingqing in—a clear lake occupied half the grassland, and as a gentle breeze blew, a hint of mist over the lake surface could be felt.

nEve bent over and placed the basket tipped over, causing the cubs to spill out of the basket and begin running about. The three little beasts chased each other and had a merry time, adding much joy to this quiet scenery.

n“You’re in heat now. Very soon you’ll be able to have little leopard cubs with Parker. Congrats.” Eve congratulated from the bottom of her heart.

nSpeaking of this, Bai Qingqing’s face collapsed. She glanced around and seeing that there wasn’t anyone around, she said to Eve with a gloomy expression, “Eve, you must help me!”

nShocked to see Bai Qingqing’s expression and thinking something major had happened, Eve instantly grabbed Bai Qingqing’s hand and said, “What happened? If I can be of help, I’ll surely help you.”

n“I don’t want to… mate with Parker,” Bai Qingqing’s eyes lowered as she said drearily. “Although I’m very grateful to him, this is all happening too fast for me. I’m unable to accept that.”

nEve sighed, stroking her soft chest. “You gave me quite a scare. I thought something major had happened.”

nBai Qingqing said nothing. Eve continued, “Then, do you dislike Parker very much?”

n“I don’t dislike him,” Bai Qingqing replied right away.

nEve then urged. “Then just mate with him. What if you manage to conceive cubs this time?”

nBai Qingqing shook her head resolutely. “No, I don’t wish to give birth so early!”

nShe then saw a disapproving look on Eve’s face, as if she was an old-fashioned teacher looking at a disobedient bad student.

nBai Qingqing instantly realized she had touched upon the beastmen’s taboo, so she hurriedly added, “Even if I were to give birth, I hope to do so after my relationship with the other party is stabilized. Please help me think of a way. He said after I’m done with going into heat he wants to…”

nSeeing Bai Qingqing about to cry, Eve’s heart softened. “There is a way.”

nBai Qingqing raised her head immediately, a hopeful look in her eyes.

nEyes meeting Bai Qingqing’s pitiful-looking ones, Eve’s hesitant heart tipped in bias towards Bai Qingqing. “You can simply tell Parker you’re unwilling.”

n“I’ve told him that. He refuses to listen to me.”

nEve smiled slyly. “Then just tell him you’ll abandon him after you mate. That you’ll call off your partnership. He surely wouldn’t dare to force himself on you.”

n“Eh?” Bai Qingqing asked with uncertainty, “Will that work?”

n“You’ll know the wonder of it all once you have a partner. If us females don’t like a male, we can resolve our partnership,” Eve suddenly said in a serious tone. “But if you two really come to that stage, don’t easily abandon Parker. That way, he won’t be able to have a partner anymore. Not even with you.”

nBai Qingqing felt dazed from all the new information. Resolve what partnership? She sounded like they were discussing a contract.

nBai Qingqing felt like she had opened the door to a whole new world. In this world, there was even something like divorce, and it was a one-sided one. She couldn’t help but feel pity for the males once again!

n“How does one go about resolving their partnership? I must go back and say this to Parker, to scare him,” Bai Qingqing asked enthusiastically. But at this point, Eve fell silent. Bai Qingqing, however, noticed Eve glancing at the lifelike leopard tattoo on her own arm.

nHas it got something to do with the tattoo?

nBai Qingqing suddenly felt that there was a profound mystery behind the tattoos on the females.
