Beauty and the Beasts

Molly flipped around to reveal a look of repulsion. “He only did that because he knew I’d never accept him. Hence, all the more I couldn’t take him as my spouse. If all the males behaved like him, would we females still have a choice?”

Her words made sense. Bai Qingqing sighed and cautioned. “Be warier if he comes back in the future.”

Molly certainly wouldn’t forget the tragedy that befell Becky. She said with a pout, “Hmph! If the three-striped Bluepool were to become my mate, that male definitely won’t be able to abduct me.”

“Wait a minute. Do you only like Bluepool because you’re guarded against that male?” asked Bai Qingqing. If that was the case, she couldn’t let Bluepool jump into this pit of fire.

Molly blushed and glanced at her embarrassedly. “Of course not. Bluepool is the most good-looking male I have ever seen in my life. He’s young and formidable. Many females have expressed their admiration for him yesterday. What’s so strange about me liking him?”

“But I need to pour cold water on you in advance. Bluepool is no good at fighting on land. If you’re doing this to guard yourself against that male, there’s no need to look for him.”

Bai Qingqing didn’t reveal the fact that Bluepool could blow a bubble that could contain a female, which he could bring into the water. She felt that when it came to love, the more innocent the better.

Molly let out an “ahh” as she furrowed her brows. “But that’s alright. I won’t give up.”

She then giggled twice. “I’ll pluck a bunch of Flos Eriocauli for him later and stick it into the water. Perhaps after sniffing the scent, he might decide to get a mate.”

“Eh, don’t. You can give him flowers, but don’t pollute the water source.” Bai Qingqing voiced her objection immediately. “If you do it in such a blatant manner, it’ll be embarrassing if you get rejected.”

Molly pondered for a moment, then said reluctantly, “Alright. I’ll give it to him secretly.”

Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief.

“Howl!”

Parker came running over and rubbed his furry leopard head against her body. Bai Qingqing deliberately gazed at his lower abdomen; no surprises there, he was aroused. She hurriedly sat up and pinned him down.

“Sleep!”

Parker stuck up his butt and rubbed it against Bai Qingqing’s legs, turning a large patch of her skin moist. Bai Qingqing, who could feel her face burning, awkwardly glanced at Molly, before exerting more force into pinning him down.

“Where are the babies?” asked Bai Qingqing.

The leopard let out several heavy pants before transforming into a human. “I didn’t pay attention to them. Probably sleeping somewhere.”

Bai Qingqing was so angry that she threw a punch at his chest. “How could you leave them be! Hurry up and look for them!”

This was such a huge area. It would be terrible if there were venomous creatures like snakes or something.

As Bai Qingqing’s countenance was too terrible, Parker hurriedly reassured her. “Don’t panic, Qingqing. I’ll go and look for them right away.”

With that, he transformed into a leopard and ran off with his swollen and large reproductive organ swinging from side to side.

Bai Qingqing also got to her feet and surveyed her surroundings.

The Flos Eriocauli came up to her knees, and when the wind blew upon it, the entire field seemed to sway. There was no way of detecting movement within the field.

“Don’t worry, they’ll be fine.” Molly yawned as she spoke. With her body curled up, she started to take a nap.

Shortly after, Parker came back with a soundly asleep cub hanging from his mouth. Only then was Bai Qingqing’s heart put to ease. She reached out with both hands to receive the cub.

Following that, it didn’t take long before Parker returned with another two leopard cubs who were sleeping like logs, their black noses stained with the blue-colored pollen.

Bai Qingqing gently wiped the pollen away from their noses and laid them down by her side. She then yawned.

“You didn’t get to sleep well this morning. Just take a nap here. I’ll go pluck two tree leaves to help you block out the sunlight,” Parker said.

Bai Qingqing nodded and laid down next to her cubs.

By the time Parker returned, she had fallen into a deep slumber. He placed a waxy thick leaf on her and Molly’s head each, before transforming into his beast form to lie next to Bai Qingqing and closing his eyes to sleep as well.
