Beauty and the Beasts

The roar of an adult leopard finally stopped the cubs in their actions.

Parker crawled to his feet and shook his fur, staring at Winston with eyes brimming with battle intent.

Bai Qingqing walked to her little cubs. Seeing the blood staining the corners of their mouths, she hit them for the first time. “Naughty boys. You’re not to bite others, alright?”

She didn’t hit them with too much force. Towards males, that was more like tickling actually, despite the fact that they were only young cubs.

Roar!

Nonetheless, the cubs still wore aggrieved expressions, making Bai Qingqing’s heart soften.

Although Winston had suffered a minor injury, he was feeling ecstatic. The one who felt more terrible was Parker.

What were these minor injuries when he obtained the concern of his spouse in return? Parker actually wished he could let Winston’s tiger cubs take two bites off him instead. Too bad he didn’t have the chance.

Roar! Parker dug into the ground with his claws and made an urging gesture.

In a splendid mood, Winston removed his animal skin and transformed into his beast form as well.

The tiger and leopard instantly got into a brawl.

Bai Qingqing was about to check on Winston’s injuries. Who knew the duo would start fighting? Now, she was mad at both of them.

“I wash my hands off of the two of you!” Bai Qingqing turned around and left with the spinach. The aggrieved young cubs went in circles around their mommy’s legs in a bid to validate their existences, causing Bai Qingqing to nearly trip. Feeling annoyed, she kicked Eldest.

“Go away and play on your own.”

Roar!

They restrained themselves a little but continued following their mommy.

Ignoring them, Bai Qingqing walked under their tree and dug several holes with a stone blade, then started to plant the spinach in spots with minimal sunshine shining upon it.

Because the spinach was quite shriveled up, she deliberately watered the plants with plenty of water.

The howls of leopards constantly rang in the air, but Bai Qingqing held herself back from looking. After a good while, the howls finally stopped.

Bai Qingqing ultimately couldn’t hold herself back from looking in that direction.

Parker shakily ran towards her. Other than looking a little dispirited, there weren’t any visible injuries. Winston, on the other hand, turned and walked out of the village.

Bai Qingqing managed to relax.

“Why do you like fighting so much? Can’t you tone it down a little?” Bai Qingqing slapped Parker on the head.

Roar!

Parker twisted his head to dodge and raised his claws to scratch his head.

Worry could be seen in Bai Qingqing’s eyes. “Transform and let me see.”

“Ooh~” Parker laid belly-down on the floor and didn’t look like he was going to accede to her request.

Bai Qingqing touched her tummy and used her trump card. “I”m hungry!”

Ears pricking up, Parker scratched the ground with his claws and got up.

Bai Qingqing raised a brow gleefully. Fancy challenging me.

Parker crawled up to the tree and only came down in an animal skin skirt after a good while.

Bai Qingqing glanced at him, and the gleeful expression on her face momentarily froze.

The injuries from fighting a love rival were absolutely the most exaggerated one this time. There wasn’t a spot on his body that wasn’t covered with purplish-green bruises.

She was amazed at how Parker could walk over as though nothing had happened.

Not daring to look at her, Parker lowered his head and prepared to start a fire.

Only then did he realize that he was the weakest male in the family, bringing about a wrought of anxiety in him. As of now, Qingqing still liked him. But in the future, would her attention be snatched away by Winston? Would she despise him for being useless?

No way, he had to become stronger as quickly as possible! He had to defeat Winston! Or at least, not be beaten up so badly and yet not have the power to even retaliate.

“Why are you even cooking? Go back and lie down. I’ll do it myself.”

Bai Qingqing shoved Parker, who instantly gasped. Bai Qingqing retreated as though she was electrocuted, finally expressing heartache. “No, this won’t do. I’ll rub your bruises first before I eat.”

Parker’s eyes lit up, and he instantly laid down properly on the ground, at a speed so fast it made Bai Qingqing wonder if she was being tricked.

Although speechless, she decided she had better help Parker rub his bruises first.
