Hence, Bai Qingqing didn’t mention it.

No idea where Alva went as well. Probably constructed a nest on a large tree somewhere and was resting there.

Outside the village, in a gigantic spherical bird’s nest, an exaggerated sneeze sounded.

Ah-choo!

Turned out it was a sound made by a bird.

Alva stuck his head outside the nest and gazed towards the tiger village.

The tables had turned. Back then it was him stopping Bai Qingqing’s mates from getting near, and now it was his turn to be blocked outside.

When would he get to see her again?

Bai Qingqing walked to the snow-covered Flos Eriocauli field, where not a hint of green could be seen.

“They’re gone.” Bai Qingqing looked visibly disappointed.

Parker instantly said, “They will grow again when the light rainy season comes.”

The little cubs, who had a special fondness for this place, started sprinting the moment they got here. The three of them ran maniacally, with Eldest having a slight lead on Second, and Third falling far behind.

“Go for it!” Bai Qingqing couldn’t help shouting at seeing them run seriously.

The leopard cubs ran even harder now.

Eldest ran to a large, collapsed tree, then turned his head and ran back. Following that, Second turned around and took first place. Third, however, foolishly continued running ahead for some distance and only turned his head and continued running when he met Eldest and Second. Soon after, he fell far behind again.

They had wanted to continue running, but Bai Qingqing hurriedly scooped up the leader amongst them—Eldest—putting a halt to their little competition.

“Alright, let’s go play elsewhere.” Bai Qingqing patted the snow off Eldest’s body and said, “I don’t know where to go, either. Parker, didn’t you say you wanted to replace the sand in the sandpit? Let’s do it today and play along the way.”

She then looked towards Curtis. “You’ve roamed the entire village. Did you see sand anywhere?”

Gazing in the direction of the sun, Curtis replied, “There’s a large area of sand over there.”

“Let’s go. I happened to bring enough animal skin bags,” said Parker with a smile. With that, he placed the little cubs into the bags and squatted down in front of her. “Come on up, I’ll carry you.”

After Bai Qingqing hopped onto his back, Parker sprinted off. Curtis transformed into a snake and slithered ahead of them, leading the way at a comfortable pace.

Although Curtis said it was near, it took them two hours of running to reach there.

It turned out to be a vast and boundless desert.

The undulating expanse of golden sand looked like waves frozen in motion, and they also reminded one of the wheat fields blessed with bumper harvests.

With the smudge of white snow on the crest of the waves, the combination of the white and gold resulted in magnificent natural scenery.

“Wah! So much sand!” Parker exclaimed in surprise. He immediately ran to one side and peed. “We can hide so much poop here, and we don’t have to clean up anymore.”

The speechless Bai Qingqing mused about how a desert was like a luxurious toilet in the eyes of the beastmen.

“There are no plants in the desert. It’s not a good thing to have too much of it. Let’s fill the bags with the sand.”

Parker set down the leopard cubs and contained the sand using the animal skin bags.

The leopard cubs fell into a daze as they stared at the golden world before their eyes. Stepping upon the ground with their little paws, they realized that the soil beneath was finely crushed. Roaring, they raised their paws and started digging.

The act of digging into the sand made them feel an instinctive urge to defecate. Hence, shortly after, three small piles appeared in the sand.

Bai Qingqing watched as they played near those piles of sand. Afraid they would dirty their paws, she took the lead in running deeper into the desert. “Babies, come over here.”

Roar!

The baby leopards roared excitedly as they gave chase, overtaking their mother in no time. Leading the run with their mother chasing behind gave them a great sense of satisfaction, and they even raised their speed.

Curtis propped up his upper body and peered into the distance, before giving chase in Bai Qingqing’s direction. “Don’t run too far away.”
