Chapter 818: An’an Went Into the Water to Play (1)

The remaining battle was easier to manage—the armored Parker could take on three opponents all by himself, even though all of them were three-striped beastmen.

Moreover, he won most of the battles.

The males were going ahead at full steam. Although they were simply sparring with each other, that was still too bloody and gruesome for Bai Qingqing. Besides, she was carrying a baby.

Bai Qingqing squeezed her way out of the spectator crowd, reeking of males’ sweat. Unable to tolerate the stink, she walked towards the waterhole.

Splash splash splash~

The sounds of splashing water and spinning wheels interspersed together.

The water wheel continued spinning rhythmically like a music disc in play, forming circles of ripples on the glistening water surface.

Bai Qingqing set An’an down on the soft grassy plains, then crouched down by the waterhole to wash her face and hands.

Now that the weather had turned warm, even An’an was clad in a thin little snakeskin dress.

The blazing sunlight made An’an narrow her eyes. Twisting her body, she actually managed to flip over by herself.

She then crawled towards her mommy. As she didn’t have any experience, even as she reached the edge of the waterhole she continued crawling, plopping one hand into the water.

With a flip of her little body, she was about to fall face down into the water, when a fair, slender, and long hand grabbed her tiny hands, helping her steady herself.

“Ah ooh~” As An’an tilted her head sideways, a blue figure floating to the rippling water surface was reflected in her clear silvery-grey eyes.

Bai Qingqing, who was washing her face, had to halt in her actions when Bluepool’s head suddenly bubbled in front of her eyes.

His hands were still propping up An’an by the hands, with half of the latter’s chest submerged in water.

Catching a glimpse of An’an from her peripheral vision, Bai Qingqing was so startled that she let out a shriek.

“Oh gosh, An’an.”

Bai Qingqing hurriedly lifted her. Feeling lingering fears, she tightly held the baby to her chest. Following that, her eyes lit up with a delighted expression.

“Did An’an crawl over here by herself?”

Bai Qingqing turned her head to look, very much suspecting that someone had carried An’an over.

“Seems like it,” Bluepool replied with a smile as he copied An’an and tilted his head sideways. He reached out again to poke An’an’s rosy little cheeks.

Pa!

Bai Qingqing slapped his hand away. “You’re not to poke her face. She’s going to drool if you do that.”

Before she even finished speaking, a stream of transparent saliva seeped out from An’an’s mouth and landed on Bluepool’s hand.

Bai Qingqing quickly doused some water on his hand.

Bluepool casually shook his hands in the water and said, “You said you would bring An’an down to play. Well, you can come down now.”

Bai Qingqing hesitated for a moment. With her entire body covered in perspiration, she felt sticky all over. Very quickly, she consented to it.

“Sure, wait a minute.”

Bai Qingqing carried An’an away.

Bluepool shifted half of his body onto the shore, and, upon seeing that Bai Qingqing was merely letting the baby pee, felt relieved.

By the time she was done letting An’an relieve herself, Bluepool had finished blowing a bubble. He then brought Bai Qingqing and her daughter into the water.

Once they went in, the lighting became weaker. The refractions on the water surface made the bubble sparkle as though it was being illuminated by a trotting horse lamp.

Widening her eyes, An’an’s gaze trailed after the light rays. Suddenly, she let out a shriek and started chortling.

Bai Qingqing, too, smiled as she lifted An’an to the top of the bubble.

An’an stuck out her chubby little hands and vigorously slapped at the bright spots. Her excitement was apparent as she continuously squealed in her babyish voice.

It was rare to see her reacting so vigorously, so Bai Qingqing felt pretty glad.

After playing for a while, An’an lost interest in the light rays. With saliva hanging from her chin, she returned to her mommy’s embrace.

As Bluepool continued diving downwards, he said, “I think she will adore those little silver fishes. I’ll put her into a small individual bubble.”
