Beauty and the Beasts

“Cold…”

Bai Qingqing broke out in goosebumps the moment she climbed out from Curtis’s tail. She reached for her clothes while saying, “The sky is already dark.”

“I’ve boiled water. Don’t look for your clothes. Come over and wash up.”

Parker’s voice rang out from the darkness.

Bai Qingqing’s movements paused as she looked at the pitch-black house. She tried to call out, “Winston?”

“I’m here.” Winston’s voice rang out from another corner.

Bai Qingqing quietly shrank back into Curtis’s embrace. “It’s too dark. I can’t see anything. Bring out the light.”

Winston was seated next to the clothing chest. Hearing that, he immediately opened the wooden chest, and the light inside radiated out. As the air was dense with water vapor, the glow from the light was also shrouded by a layer of fog.

The young girl’s face, hidden amongst the snake’s body, was flushed. The vague light rays caused her face to appear even more gentle. Both a young girl’s childishness and a motherly gentleness could be seen on her face, and she looked so beautiful that the beastmen couldn’t turn their faces away.

Although they could see everything clearly before there was light, they now felt that their mate was even more beautiful.

Bai Qingqing felt unsettled with the three pairs of scorching gazes on her. She bit her teeth and eventually climbed out.

Parker brought her warm water and washed the towel for her.

“Hehe… It’s so cold today.” Bai Qingqing didn’t know what to say and quickly started washing up.

She had been mates with Parker and Curtis for very long, but for Winston, they were similar to being newlyweds. She felt shy to be naked in front of him.

Curtis was very happy to be in the damp environment. He moved away from behind her and went to breathe in the even more damp air outside.

Bai Qingqing instantly lost her backing and was completely exposed.

She vaguely felt that Winston was looking at her, and she felt so nervous that she didn’t know how she should wash up anymore. In the end, Parker saw that Bai Qingqing was so cold that she had broken out in goosebumps that he snatched the animal skin to help her wash up.

After putting on clothes, Bai Qingqing felt a little less embarrassed. She threw a glance toward Winston with a bright red face, asking, “You’re… sleeping here today?”

Winston’s eyes dimmed, and he spoke in a low voice, “The weather is starting to turn cold. We’ve discussed this. I’ll be moving up here to sleep. You’ll feel even warmer that way.”

He shouldn’t have agreed to this. It wasn’t as if he was a male that Bai Qingqing had willingly accepted. She must be unwilling to accept this.

Bai Qingqing didn’t reply immediately. This made Winston feel even more that he was despised.

In fact, Bai Qingqing was only anxious.

Let her feel warmer? Did that mean that he was going to sleep together with her? Oh god! How was she going to sleep tonight?

Only at this moment did Bai Qingqing feel that she had become mates with Winston.

“Hmph!” Parker let out a displeased snort, showing his dissatisfaction with this matter. Given Winston’s stuffy character, there was no way that he’d raise such a request. This meant that Curtis was the one who had brought this up.

The atmosphere was too tense, and Bai Qingqing wanted to look for a topic. She asked, “When did you guys talk about this? Why don’t I know about it?”

“Just now. You didn’t hear it?” Parker seemed to have discovered something interesting and looked at her expression in amusement.

“Just now?” Bai Qingqing had a bad feeling about this.

She had just ended things with Curtis and then washed up. How was it possible for this to have taken place just now?

Parker grinned. “You really didn’t hear it.

“When you were about to end, Curtis told me to boil water and prepare some food. He also mentioned this in passing.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless. My god! He wasn’t focused! Bad rating!

She threw a glare at Curtis’s back view, scolding him non-stop in her heart to conceal her embarrassment.
