Beauty and the Beasts

Bai Qingqing couldn’t hold back her smile and pushed him again. “Hurry up and go get the medicine. I really can’t give birth now. I have to go to school every day and have no time to get pregnant.”

Although Muir didn’t really understand, he still stood up abidingly. When he turned and saw Curtis standing at the door, wearing a gloomy expression, he paused in his footsteps.

Only then did Bai Qingqing feel that something was amiss with the bed. She turned her head and drew in a cold gasp.

No wonder she kept feeling that her body was sliding down. The bed frame had broken. The mattress was at an angle with the foot of the bed frame broken. No wonder she was slipping off on it.

Bai Qingqing then noticed Curtis at the door.

His gaze looked so dark that he was emitting a killing aura. Muir nodded at him as a greeting and then ran off.

“Curtis…” Bai Qingqing felt a little guilty. She forcibly propped her sore body and stood up with a blanket draped over her. She had just taken a step when her feet suddenly turned limp and she looked like she was going to fall onto the bed in a sitting position.

Curtis dashed over to her side at the speed of lightning, wrapping one arm around her waist and carrying her up.

“Go and wash up.” Curtis frowned. Snow’s body was covered in the scent of an eagle beastman. This caused the fury he had just suppressed to shoot up. He had an impulse to chase after Muir and give him a beating.

“En, I’ll go right away.” Bai Qingqing nodded.

With Curtis’s help, she cleaned up her body, especially her private parts. She was afraid of getting pregnant and thus took extra care to clean up.

Muir only thought of the point that he had no idea where to buy oral contraceptives after he had dashed out of the house.

He grabbed a passerby in Splendid Villa and asked him. The passerby was instantly stunned and then pointed to the pharmacy opposite, saying, “You can get it there.”

This place was the spot in Splendid Villa where the buildings were most densely packed. There was a pharmacy for emergency purchases, a small supermarket, as well as some playgrounds.

Muir immediately looked over and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Hey, are you Muir?” This passerby suddenly recognized him and asked in surprise.

“No.” After saying that, Muir ran toward the pharmacy.

The passerby wasn’t sure, either. After taking a look at his back view for a while, he left too.

Muir entered the shop and headed to the cashier.

“Sir, what would you like to buy?” The shop staff asked politely.

Muir said, “Oral contraceptive.”

The shop staff restrained his expression, but there was a hint of amusement on his face. “Do you want emergency contraceptives or regular ones?”

Stunned, Muir asked, “What’s the difference?”

“Emergency contraceptives are taken after the deed and are harmful to the body. One should eat at most two times a year. Regular contraceptives can be taken for the longer term and must be taken before the act,” explained the shop staff.

Hearing that emergency contraceptives were very harmful to the body, he couldn’t be bothered about whether the pills should be taken prior to or after the act. Without giving it any thought, he said, “Regular ones.”

Therefore, Muir bought a box of regular contraceptives.

Bai Qingqing was resting on the sofa with Curtis. After receiving the medicine, she ate it according to the instructions.

As for the instructions on how many days before the act one should take the medicine, she saw that too. However, being inexperienced, she didn’t have any doubts.

Therefore, it was all up to luck on whether she’d get pregnant.

“I feel so hungry. Let’s hurry up and go eat,” said Bai Qingqing, rubbing her stomach.

Muir took a look at the boat of fish in the living room and said, “I’ll cook fish.”

Bai Qingqing looked at him in amusement, saying, “Do you have firewood?”

Muir looked toward the green plants outside, falling silent.

Curtis carried her on his back and headed out. He said as he passed by Muir, “Bring the fish.”

“Why? It’s so inconvenient,” Bai Qingqing said.

Curtis said, “I’ll sell them to buy you food.”

Bai Qingqing was rendered speechless. Was Curtis planning on changing his job to a fisherman?
