Beauty and the Beasts

Bai Qingqing looked up and rolled her eyes at Rosa, who was seated at a higher height than her. However, this rude expression actually looked particularly adorable coming from a girl with a pair of charming, large eyes.

“Who told you Parker is pestering me? Parker’s beast mark…” Bai Qingqing caressed her chest and smiled, her voice turning gentle. “Is on my chest.”

The spot on a female’s heart represented the person she loved the most. Immediately after Bai Qingqing said that the gazes of the males opposite them all changed—from one of ferociousness to one of envy and jealousy.

How lucky of that leopard beastman to have the female leave his beast mark on her chest.

Parker turned around to look at Bai Qingqing instantly. Does that mean Qingqing is ready to accept me?

Parker’s heart started racing. Even though he knew Bai Qingqing was merely lying to them, it didn’t stop him from feeling ecstatic.

Bai Qingqing pulled him with one hand and Cortis with the other, then said with a smile, “Let’s go. We shouldn’t waste our time on irrelevant people.”

Parker’s eyes turned red and moist. He tried to force his tears back down, but this only made his eyes appear redder.

“Mm, let’s go.” Parker sounded a little choked. He lowered his head and licked Bai Qingqing on her clean and petite face as he finished speaking.

Bai Qingqing gave Parker plenty of face in front of the enemies and returned his gesture with a sweet smile. However, she cast Cortis a subtle glance almost immediately after.

Cortis didn’t show much reaction.

Bai Qingqing quietly heaved a sigh of relief, then pulled the two of them away with her.

“Hmph!” Rosa’s face was contorted in anger. Watching as Bai Qingqing and her mates went farther and farther away, she kicked the tummy of the tiger underneath her to vent her anger. “What are you waiting for? Move!”

“Roar—” The tiger instantly started jogging at a steady pace.

“Don’t be angry, Rosa. We’ll avenge you later.” A wolf beastman in a skirt jogged to Rosa’s side. His looks bore a 30% resemblance to Hugh’s, and there were three animal stripes on his face. He was one of Rosa’s most powerful mates, Bart.

Rosa glanced at the mate next to her, her expression slightly easing. “You’re the best. I’ll just wait and see, then. When we get back I’ll mate with you.”

Rosa had just finished going into heat, so mating with her now implied that she might conceive cubs. Bart’s eyes lit up and he shook his tail vigorously several times. “I definitely won’t disappoint you.”

“Roar—” The tiger beastmen started getting restless, and they all stared warily at Bart now. Bart let out a low growl, then, holding Rosa’s hand, jogged to catch up with the tigers.

Once they got out of the City of Beastmen, the beastmen went in separate directions. The mountain roads were covered in mud, and beastmen’s imprints could be seen everywhere.

With every step Bai Qingqing took, she would pluck up some mud with her foot. Her shoes had long become drenched by the mud, and they now felt sticky and heavy on her feet. Her face was scrunched up, and she was so vexed that she shook her foot forcefully. With a “plop” sound, a goop of mud fell upon her own face.

“Aiyah.” Bai Qingqing shook her head to make the mud fall off.

Cortis couldn’t bear to see her in this state, so he reached out and wiped away the mud on her face. “I’ll carry you.”

Parker also said, “Qingqing, I’ll transform into a leopard and let you sit on me. With the fur on my back, it’ll be warm and comfortable.”

However, without another word, Cortis lifted her up. Because of Bai Qingqing’s words “on my chest”, Parker’s blood was all heated up. He revealed his teeth and prepared to fight.

Bai Qingqing quickly said, “No need, Parker. You will dirty your hands if you transform into a leopard. There isn’t any water for you to wash them.”

“I can lick them clean,” Parker replied right away.
