Beauty and the Beasts

“I wanted to give it to Bai Qingqing. Since it hit you, take it as my gift of apology.” Alva revealed a look of pity. “It took me half a day of flying to finally find a completely red fruit. I’ll bet it’s very sweet.”

Molly bent over to pick up the fruit. Gazing at the pretty-looking fruit, she couldn’t help gulping. She inhaled a deep breath and wanted to say something when she raised her head and found herself staring right at the majestic reproductive organ of a male.

She couldn’t help letting out an audible “wow” as she marveled at how big it was.

Alva smugly stuck out his crotch area, making that spot shake a little.

Snapping out of her trance, Molly said, “No need. You rescued me. I don’t blame you for hitting me with the fruit.”

Having braved through the rain and storms and narrowly escaping death, Molly was no longer as particular about males’ appearances. Also, she was now more indifferent about things and wasn’t as hung up on Alva as before.

She came to understand that males were stubborn in love, with Bluepool and Carl being the best examples of that. She decided it was futile to attempt to change a male.

Alva’s countenance darkened. Was it because this fruit wasn’t delicious enough? Clearly, he had seen Edgar plucking this fruit previously. Was he plucking it for himself?

Molly held out her hand for a good while, but Alva didn’t take the fruit from her. She had no choice but to say, “I’m just about to go look for Bai Qingqing. Since you won’t take it, I’ll help you give it to her.”

With that, she ran off with the tree branch without even waiting for his reply.

“Bai Qingqing!”

Bai Qingqing was sitting leisurely on the grass and enjoying the light breeze sweeping through the forest when she saw Molly and waved at the latter.

Molly smiled and ran over.

“Bai Qingqing, how did you cook those foods? I suddenly have a craving to eat it!”

Molly ran over hurriedly. She grabbed Bai Qingqing’s hand and pleaded. “My male went off to hunt. Can you get your males to teach him?”

“Okay.” Bai Qingqing agreed without hesitation. Seeing the fruits in Molly’s hand, she didn’t stand on ceremony, simply plucking one and saying, “I’ll take this as the fee.”

Only then did Molly recall the fruit and said, “Oh right, Alva wants to give this to you. I ran into him on my way here, so I helped him bring this to you.”

“Cough!” Bai Qingqing nearly snorted the fruit in her mouth into her nose. She coughed a few times, her face turning red from it.

“Are you certain it’s for me?” Bai Qingqing’s pitch was raised at the end of the sentence in doubt.

Damn. Another silly fool. These two are truly made for each other.

“He said it’s for you,” Molly said honestly. Staring at the perfectly ripe fruits, the glutton in her made her ask meekly, “Can you give me one?”

Pretending to consider, Bai Qingqing feigned hesitance. Under Molly’s earnest gaze, she finally agreed benevolently. “Okay.”

Molly instantly plucked one and chomped on it without even wiping it, exclaiming as she did so, “It’s delicious!”

“But why have I never received food from Alva before?” Bai Qingqing asked pensively.

“Those two mates of yours are so fierce! Other than females, who would dare to go near you!” Molly rolled her eyes at her.

Bai Qingqing pouted. “Surely he’s not afraid of getting killed when he can fly?”

“Still, that’s too dangerous.”

“I didn’t know males were so timid,” Bai Qingqing said, feigning shock.

Molly was finally stumped for words.

Bai Qingqing patted her shoulder and sighed with emotion. “Sister, this is your chance!”

Having suddenly lost her appetite, Molly fell silent for a long time, before saying softly, “Don’t joke about this. If others hear this, they will ridicule me. Moreover, a two-striped beastman is pursuing me!”

She gushed enthusiastically with an idolizing look. “Eagle beastmen fly much faster than Alva. Plus, their upper bodies are so muscular. I’ve decided to accept an eagle beastman as a mate.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.
