Beauty and the Beasts

After tensing up momentarily, Winston lay down quietly and stopped moving.

Bai Qingqing used a brush to brush his fur while saying, “To think that there’s still moisture in your fur. Your body is giving up steam while I’m drying you up.”

“Roar?” Winston turned and saw white smoke rising from his back. He opened his eyes wide, feeling like a dish in a steamer.

After taking a look at his expression, Bai Qingqing found it hard to hold in her laughter.

After Winston turned into his human form, there was very little moisture in his hair, and it dried completely in just a few minutes.

The fur that had been washed with shower gel was soft and fluffy, feeling warm like a young beastman’s fur. Moreover, Bai Qingqing liked to look at Winston’s appearance when his hair was blown up. Therefore, she blew against the flow of his fur, not knowing that this would cause the roots of his fur to perk up.

Therefore, after Bai Qingqing was done drying Winston, he looked like he had been electrocuted. His fur exploded. Bai Qingqing couldn’t even comb it down with the brush.

Looking at the white tiger who now looked like a furry soft toy, Bai Qingqing suddenly felt guilty and rubbed her nose sheepishly. She forced down the corner of her lips strongly, trying to hold in her laughter.

“It’s… it’s done.”

“Roar!~” Winston gave Bai Qingqing a grateful cry and didn’t think much about it even after seeing her strange expression.

Only after jumping off from the sofa and shaking his body did he feel something was amiss with his body.

It felt light and fluffy, his fur feeling soft as cotton. Winston couldn’t help but think of the bubbles on his body when he was bathing. He almost thought that his fur had turned into bubbles, too.

Bai Qingqing almost couldn’t hold back her laughter after seeing Winston’s perplexed reaction. She cleared her throat, trying to hide this. “Cough, erm… hurry up and turn into your human form. You can dry your pants by yourself. I’ll be heading downstairs to eat.”

“Roar!” Winston replied with a deep voice, raising his front paws and turning into his human form.

Before leaving, Bai Qingqing threw an unnoticeable glance toward his head, her tensed-up expression showing signs of cracking. She quickly turned over and covered her mouth, holding her laughter as she ran off.

Parker was seated at the dining table, drooling. He’d occasionally throw a glance at the second floor. After seeing Bai Qingqing, he immediately said, “The fish is getting cold. Hurry up and come eat.”

He could get a few bites after Qingqing was full. He hadn’t eaten for two days and was almost starving to death.

“You just want to eat, right? Don’t wait for me. Hurry up and eat,” Bai Qingqing said.

Parker shook his head firmly. “I’m afraid you won’t have enough to eat.”

Curtis and Muir then sat in front of the television again, studying [Journey to the West] that was playing. They were probably treating the television as a learning device.

When they saw the celestials in the show, they even imitated them to perform hand gestures to transform. They had clearly thought that these were real.

Bai Qingqing quickly switched the channels, caught between laughter and tears as she said, “These are fake.”

Curtis was rendered speechless.

Muir was rendered speechless.

An awkwardness permeated in the living room.

Bai Qingqing switched the channel to the news and said, “You guys can watch this for now. You’ll be able to understand our society from this. Let’s go out and buy a computer later. You’ll be able to watch anything you want to.”

“Alright,” Muir replied, looking a little excited. Curtis also wore a pleased expression.

There was a big pot of braised fish on the table, and they didn’t look bad. Bai Qingqing then took a look at the kitchen. Everything looked normal.

Their adaptability was quite terrifying. Even people from the modern world might not be able to learn to cook from a cooking show. “Kitchen killer” wasn’t a term that appeared out of nowhere.

Bai Qingqing picked up a fish, and before she started eating, she heard Parker’s exaggerated gulping sounds.

She paused and pushed the bowl to him. “You know I won’t be able to finish it. Moreover, I can’t eat when it’s all dishes.”

Parker immediately picked up the bone and started eating, saying in a muffled voice, “I’ll just eat one first. You should hurry up and eat, too.”
