Beauty and the Beasts

Even you went into heat…

The feather in Bai Qingqing’s hand grazed against her eye, causing her to let out a yelp and cover it with her hand. Glaring at Molly with the other eye, she asked, “What do you mean by even I went into heat? Since when did I go into heat?”

Molly’s gaze swept over her, a look of disbelief on her face. “Don’t try to deceive me. Over these last few days when the skies got dark, we could hear you screaming. The entire village knows you’ve gone into heat.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

The entire village knows…

A ball of evil fire surged from within. Exhaling a puff of foul air from her nostrils, Bai Qingqing had an urge to beat someone up.

She flicked off the bird’s feather with her finger and stared at Molly with wicked intent.

Molly shrunk her body and shifted backward. “Wh-what do you want?”

“Hur…” Bai Qingqing’s lips curled in a cold smile as she reached out her demonic claws to Molly’s waist.

“Ah!” Molly let out a shriek and got to her feet, scurrying all over the place with Bai Qingqing hot on her heels.

As Bai Qingqing chased after Molly and tickled her, she continuously forced her to say, “Say it, say I didn’t go into heat. Hurry up and say it!”

“Aiyaya! You didn’t go into heat. I was the one who went into heat. Quickly stop!” Molly laughed so hard her vision blurred. Through her blurry vision, she saw a group of tiger beastmen ahead. She involuntarily froze and rubbed her eyes.

While Bai Qingqing continued hugging and tickling her, Molly held it in and didn’t move.

“What’s the matter?” Bai Qingqing looked up, loosening her grip around her.

The tiger beastmen were back.

Roar!

The tiger beastmen’s roars reverberated throughout the mountain forest. All of a sudden, tigers leaped out of the tree hole, and in no time, over two hundred tigers had gathered on the empty plot of land. Then, the females also joined in.

The white tiger leading the pack suddenly sped up and dashed to the tigers gathered in the village. He inhaled deeply and let out a roar that made one’s eardrums feel like they were going to burst. Following that, he swept over the beastmen with his silver eyes, exuding a naturally intimidating aura.

Only when his gaze fell upon Bai Qingqing, who stood at the corner, did his expression grow gentler.

An extremely muscular yellow tiger went to the white tiger and bowed his head as a show of submission, then let out a series of deep growls. [How did it go?]

Winston didn’t reply, but merely twisted his head and looked backward.

The tiger beastmen carrying the stone buckets in their human forms quickened their pace, a vibrant smile spread across each of those tanned and handsome faces, like farmers who just had a bumper harvest.

Roar? The tribal head raised his head subconsciously. What was inside those stone buckets?

Salt? Impossible. If so, a small stone container would have sufficed. There was absolutely no need for such a large vessel. Moreover, there were six of those enormous vessels.

Was it seawater, then?

As this thought occurred to the tribal head, deep disappointment appeared in his yellowish-orange eyes. Although he didn’t get his hopes high, to begin with, he still found it hard to accept the failed outcome.

Bang!

When the stone buckets were set upon the floor, the impact of them hitting the ground caused the earth to tremble.

Some of the more anxious tiger beastmen ran up to take a look, and upon seeing what was inside, their mouths couldn’t help curling at the edges. [It’s salt!]

Roar? The tribal head immediately straightened his body and peered into the stone buckets.

The stone buckets were filled with snow-white shiny crystals. With the beastmen’s heightened sense of smell, they could even detect the scent of seawater.

The tribal head cast a look of disbelief at the tiger king, then immediately ran to the other stone buckets. There was salt in all of them!

Roar roar roar? [Are all these salt as well?]

The white tiger cast an arrogant glance at the tribal head and said: [Distribute according to the usual usage amounts. Dig a hole and bury the remaining salt.]

Roar! The tribal head responded with excitement.

After giving the tribal head instructions, Winston looked towards Bai Qingqing again.

She immediately responded with a smile and waved at him.

“Was it a success?”
