Bai Qingqing felt everyone's eyes on her—or more accurately, between her thighs. The next moment, her body rose high into the air. Parker carried Bai Qingqing and quickly ran off, even laughing excitedly while doing so.
"Hahahaha… my female's in heat! Hahahahaha!"
Eudora, who'd just accused Bai Qingqing of being malnourished and unable to go into heat, felt her face sting as if she'd just been slapped. She was so filled with wrath that her features were twisted.
It was already bad enough that a young beast like Parker was smitten with Bai Qingqing. Now, even the aloof village doctor liked her! Unbelievable!
Eve said with a small smile, "Don't be upset, Eudora. Bai Qingqing just arrived at our village. We have to be nicer to her."
She felt that what Bai Qingqing said made sense. Eudora was indeed treating her mates unfairly. Everyone just overlooked it since many females treated their mates the same way and didn't find Eudora's actions unusual as a result.
"Hmph!" Eudora gave Eve a pointed look before she turned around and walked away, her mates following behind her. If not for this Eve, she'd be the most beautiful person in the village. How could she like her?
Parker carried Bai Qingqing back to the wooden house and placed her on the grass nest. Her embarrassment was still apparent on her face, and her mind was filled with the scorching looks from those beastmen.
Heavens. She'd embarrassed herself in the alternate world. How was she going to face those beasts in the future?
"This is great, Qingqing. When you stop bleeding, we can copulate and have children." Parker was giddy with delight. His round leopard ears stood at attention, his pupils were dilated, and his long and thick tail was raised up high such that it touched the back of his head.
Bai Qingqing was taken aback. Going into heat? Copulating?
So getting your period was going into heat?
"I can't have children. I'm underage!" Bai Qingqing tried to reason with him. She added seriously, "Going into labor will be difficult."
Parker had a look on his face that told her to not lie to him since he was still young. He coldly dismissed Bai Qingqing's nonsense. "If you go into heat, it means you're of age."
"But when I was 13…" Bai Qingqing suddenly stopped mid-sentence. She got her first period when she was 13, and she was still considered a child then. But over here, getting your period meant you were an adult. She didn't believe the people here were insane enough to let a 13-year-old female give birth to children. The only explanation was that her menstrual cycle was different from that of the females here.
Bai Qingqing averted her eyes before asking tentatively, "At what age… do females here usually go into heat for the first time? How often do they go into heat? How long do they bleed when they're in heat?"
"They usually go into heat for the first time when they're about 15 or 16. After that, they go into heat once a year, and they bleed for about five days." Parker's face turned red and his tail lay on his shoulder in embarrassment. He then glared at Bai Qingqing and asked in his usual authoritative voice, "You're already an adult. Why don't you know all this? Did your people not teach you anything?"
He thought Bai Qingqing looked like she was 15 or 16. He'd just subconsciously assumed she was younger since she looked so innocent and looked even cuter than female cubs.
Bai Qingqing's mind was filled with three words. Once a year… once a year… once a year…
How lucky!
Tears rolled down Bai Qingqing's cheeks as blood flowed down her thighs.
The smell of blood was so strong that even Bai Qingqing noticed it. Parker's eyes landed on Bai Qingqing's thighs.
Bai Qingqing's thighs clamped together. She looked up at Parker with pitiful, downturned eyes. She looked as naive and innocent as a child. "What do I do now? How do females deal with this? They don't just let the blood flow like that, right?"
Parker's heart wavered upon seeing the look on Bai Qingqing's face. He thought for a moment before replying, "I've seen females ask their mates to pick white cotton when they go into heat. It's very soft and absorbs water. They probably use that to absorb the blood."
Bai Qingqing instantly thought of cotton flowers and immediately told him, "Then quickly get some for me."
Before long, Parker returned with his arms full of white, clean cotton flowers. They were still warm, soft, and fluffy from being in the sun.
Bai Qingqing removed the cotton seeds from a few cotton flowers. Then, with her back to Parker, she removed her stained underwear and placed some cotton on damp underwear she'd washed the night before with bathwater before putting it on.
"We should probably put these cotton flowers under the sun. We don't know whether these are clean," Bai Qingqing said worriedly. What if there were insects in them?
She was about to get up from the nest when Parker held her in place and said to her thoughtfully, "Stay here. I'll go put them under the sun. You're still bleeding and you need to rest."
Bai Qingqing just got her period, but she was being cared for like a baby. While she wasn't used to it, she somewhat envied the females here.
Of course, what she envied the most was the god-given gift of only getting their period once a year. She was envious and jealous of them to the point of frustration.
Seeing that Parker was about to carry the cotton flowers outside without first placing something on the ground, Bai Qingqing quickly stopped him and said, "You're not just going to place them on the ground, right? I have to put them in that area. How dirty would they be if you just placed them on the ground? Please put something underneath."
"Oh." Although Parker thought otherwise, he still did as Bai Qingqing said as females in heat came first. He first spread out a piece of animal skin on the ground in a sunny area outside, before placing the cotton flowers on the animal skin.
When Parker was done, he turned around to see Bai Qingqing walking out of the house. He quickly carried her back to the grass nest.
"I told you to stay in the grass nest. You're so disobedient!" Parker said, pretending to be angry.
Bai Qingqing smiled awkwardly and placed her hands behind her back.
"What are you hiding?" Parker eyed Bai Qingqing suspiciously.
"Nothing." Bai Qingqing quickly shook her head.
Parker sniffed. The sweet and fragrant smell of blood was still there. He looked at the grass nest with a strange expression. "By the way, where's that tiny piece of clothing of yours?"
Bai Qingqing's face fell and she took out her hand. "It's in my hand. I was going to wash it."
Parker reached out his hand and took Bai Qingqing's underwear from her.
"Hey!" Bai Qingqing panicked and quickly tried to take it back, but Parker was tall and his arms were long. The underwear was beyond her reach once he raised his arm. Seeing it stained red made her want to cry.
"Give it back!" Bai Qingqing wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I told you, you need to rest. I'll go wash them."
Parker then got up and left. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to get her underwear back, Bai Qingqing didn't chase after him and instead resignedly sat on the grass nest.
It was getting late, and Bai Qingqing's stomach began to growl. After Parker hung her clean underwear on a tree branch, she asked him, "When are we going to eat? It's almost noon."
"It's way too early. The sun hasn't reached the center yet." Seeing that Bai Qingqing seemed to be very hungry, he said, "I'll pick some fruits for you to eat. In the afternoon, we'll eat meat at an earlier time."
For leopard beastmen, it was indeed too early to eat. Leopard beastmen were carnivorous, and they only had one meal every day. They usually ate in the afternoon when the temperature was lower. After comfortably filling their tummies, they'd let the food digest for a bit before sleeping. Females had a more varied diet. They would pick some wild fruits and grasses with thick leaves to eat, but those would just be snacks.
"Just one meal?" Bai Qingqing asked incredulously.
"Yeah."
"Ah?" Bai Qingqing was dumbfounded. She'd been hungry for a while, but she was too embarrassed to speak up about it. Now, Parker wasn't allowing her to get up and find her own food. Didn't that mean she would have to starve till the afternoon?
She was still on her period. If she went without food for a week, her menstrual cycle would become irregular and her blood sugar levels would drop.
