Beauty and the Beasts

Bai Qingqing didn’t see Bluepool coming out even though she had stayed by the waterhole for so long. She tossed in a few stones.

Was this guy still outside, learning to hunt?

A blue figure was reflected through the water, and Bai Qingqing was given a shock. She turned and realized that it was Alva’s hair.

“Your house is done?” Bai Qingqing asked in passing.

Alva looked around and saw that her mates weren’t around. Therefore, he replied, “I’ll just look for an abandoned tree hole to live in. I won’t be building a house.”

As he spoke, he completely ignored Molly, who was by the side with her heart palpitating.

Molly tugged at her skirt, then said, “Is your name Alva? I’m Molly. I’m a female who hasn’t become mates with anyone yet.”

Only then did Alva throw her a glance and half-heartedly replied. He then said to Bai Qingqing, “I’ll be staying on that tree. I found an edible nut in the vicinity. Do you want to eat it? I’ll pluck some for you.”

“No need.” Bai Qingqing threw a glance at Molly, feeling guilty. She quickly tried to slip away. “Molly, you can bring him around the village. I’ll go back to make clothes.”

After saying that, she ran off.

Molly was elated. She swung off the medicine remnants on her hands and said, “I’ll show you the things that the females in our village like to eat.”

All males would learn to get into the good books of females. Molly said this because she wanted to get Alva to woo her. Alva didn’t really understand what breastfeeding females liked to eat. In order to better get into Bai Qingqing’s good books, he immediately agreed. “Alright.”

Both of them came to a consensus and went to take a walk around the village.

The news of an additional two-striped peacock beastman joining spread throughout the village. All the females’ hearts stirred when they saw his beautiful face and extravagant beast form. Suddenly, Alva became very popular in the village.

Bai Qingqing was happy to see this happening. It was all good as long as he didn’t come to irritate her. In order to avoid him, she stayed in the tree hole to make clothes.

The blue-tailed fox fur that Third had caught had been made into a piece of animal skin. There wasn’t much of it, so it was used up after making a set of clothing.

Bai Qingqing liked this special color a lot and immediately changed into it.

She climbed up onto the back of the sleeping leopard and asked with anticipation, “Parker, do you think this clothing looks good?”

“Howl?” Parker let out a big yawn, exposing all of his white and sharp fangs.

He then turned into his human form and said without any second thoughts, “It does.”

“Quickly call the children over. I want to show it to them.” Bai Qingqing was in great anticipation.

Before Parker could reply, a long tiger roar rang out outside. Even though they weren’t of the same tribe, he knew that information was sent out.

He walked out and took a look. As expected, the group of young tiger beastmen that Winston had sent out had returned. A female was riding on one of them.

Parker’s brows raised. “They really managed to trade for a female.”

“Really?” Bai Qingqing also ran over to take a look. “According to their customs, a campfire gathering will have to be held, right? Let’s go down quickly and take a good spot. Curtis, do you want to go and take a look?”

“Ssss—”

Curtis quickly slid down, looking very listless.

Snake beastmen were lazy by nature, but couldn’t be lazy anymore after they had mates. He was unable to feel at ease at knowing of the presence of unknown factors. It was better for him to go down and take a look.

Bai Qingqing grinned. She hugged onto Curtis’s snake tail and slid down the tree.

It had been quite some years since a female had settled down in the village. They had sold females before, but this was the first time they managed to buy a female back. Everyone was excited.

As the young tiger beastmen got closer, the female’s appearance became clear to the other beastmen.
