Bluepool swam leisurely back to the cave.
Bai Qingqing was feeding the children. She was surprised when she realized that there was someone else when she felt a few strands of icy-cold hair landing on her shoulders. She quickly pulled up her clothes.
The leopard cubs refused to let go, causing their mother's shoulder to be exposed.
Bluepool opened his eyes wide and asked, "What are you doing?"
Bai Qingqing turned her back to him, infuriated. "Didn't you go out to look for the snake? Why are you back?"
"I sent the others in the village to look for him. As long as he's in this sea domain, I'll have him dug out even if he's buried in the soil."
Bai Qingqing's countenance cleared up, and her lips curled up. "Thank you."
Bluepool then said, "You haven't told me what you're doing. Why are you letting them bite you? Are they being naughty?"
