Beauty and the Beasts

The tourist vehicles were similar to public buses. To ensure safety, the coach was designed to be higher. From the seats’ glass windows, people would only be able to see a tiger’s head.

Bai Zhenbei looked out of the window for a while before tugging her mommy’s hand and saying, “Mommy, I want to go over to the door to look.”

Bai Qingqing was looking at the tiger cubs when she heard this. She smiled, then instructed her, “Go on. Don’t open the door.”

“En.” Bai Zhenbei stood up gracefully and then walked over to the door. This spot was shorter than the seats and one could see the tigers’ bellies through the glass.

Of the two tigers, one of them was the more commonly seen tiger that was yellow with black stripes and a white stomach. He was called Wen Lin[1]. The other one, a white tiger with silver stripes, was called Wen Ze.

The two tigers howled and communicated with each other. The yellow-furred Wen Lin then ran over to Bai Zhenbei while the white-furred Wen Ze stayed by their mommy’s side.

“Mommy, it came over!” Bai Zhenbei shouted happily, then turned to say to Bai Qingqing, “Come over and take a look, too. I saw its stomach. There’s a lot of mud on it.”

“Uhh~” The yellow tiger’s whiskers trembled, then he immediately returned his front paws from the glass door back to the ground, checking out their mommy at the back of the vehicle.

Bai Qingqing had long gotten used to having to ensure that the tiger and leopard cubs take a shower each time she came. She threw them a few reproachful glances.

Bai Zhenbei leaned gently against the glass door and was still looking at her mommy at the back. However, a man in front who looked pretty decent suddenly opened the door. No one knew why he did it. It could be that he just wanted to watch a free show.

The door opened outward. Once the door bolt opened, Bai Zhenbei let out a scream and fell outward.

“Huahua!” Bai Qingqing let out a surprised cry and quickly stood up.

Wen Lin agilely avoided the door and quickly moved to the entrance, catching Bai Zhenbei with his back.

The man was surprised. However, at the next instant, a white tiger pounced toward him ferociously.

Almost no one saw the scene earlier when the door was opened. It could only be seen from the two seats facing the door. At that time, the two passengers happened to be looking at the tiger on the other side. Therefore, no one noticed this man’s action. Even the surveillance camera at the back was perfectly blocked by Bai Zhenbei.

This guy had clearly done such a vicious action after noticing these factors.

However, many pairs of tiger eyes had caught him in the act, including Wen Lin and Wen Ze.

Wen Lin quickly caught their sister while Wen Ze was filled with rage. With a leap, he dashed over to the door, bared his fangs, and grabbed the man who had tried to harm their sister from the vehicle. He then swung his head and tossed him to the grass over ten meters away.

Screams filled up the vehicle. The loudest scream came from the guy who was tossed out.

“Ahhh!” The man fell on the floor and wriggled a little, unable to get up.

Over 20 tigers surrounded him.

There was still a little girl outside, with a tiger next to her. The people in the car wanted to pull her up but didn’t dare to. That tiger might get on the vehicle at any moment to bite them.

Many people wanted to close the door, but no one dared to be the one to do this, not wanting to withstand the pressure from public opinion.

But a young lady quickly dashed out of the vehicle.

Bai Qingqing pulled her daughter from Wen Lin’s back, cupping her face with her hands and asking, “Are you alright? Are you hurt from the fall?”

There were tears in Bai Zhenbei’s eyes, but she shook her head. It seemed that she was only given a fright.

Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief. Before she could send her daughter back into the vehicle, she immediately looked at the man who had been grabbed and thrown out. When she saw the streak of tigers was planning to tear him apart, she shouted, “All of you, don’t move!”
