Beauty and the Beasts

Bai Qingqing shook her head and said, “If all of us were to leave, leaving him behind, I’m afraid that he’d be heartbroken.”

Parker let out a snort, feeling displeased. “He’s already treating you in this manner, so why do you still care about him?”

But the more bad things Parker said about him, the more Bai Qingqing felt like telling Curtis.

The reason she was hesitant was also the same reasons as what Parker said. With Parker saying them out loud, it was like she was facing the inner devil in her heart. Therefore, she instinctively became more inclined toward Curtis’s side.

“You must think this through properly. If Curtis doesn’t agree, we won’t know what he’ll do.” Parker said.

Bai Qingqing looked at An’an, who was grinding her teeth as if there weren’t anyone else around and planted a kiss on her forehead. “I won’t let Curtis harm An’an.”

Neither of them spoke for a while, and the silence went on for very long before Bai Qingqing said again, “Let me think about it. You can go back to forging. I’ll make the decision tonight.”

Parker rubbed her head and said, “Don’t be too troubled. I’ll support you no matter what you want to do,”

“En.” Bai Qingqing felt very touched and circled one arm around Parker’s neck, pulling his head down and kissing on his lips.

Parker’s face instantly heated up. He then deepened the kiss.

The kiss ended with Parker breathing heavily. His skin’s temperature was higher than when he had just come out from the iron-smelting room.

“You… are you in heat again?” Parker panted heavily and asked.

Bai Qingqing touched her swollen lips from the kissing, her heart tightening up. “That can’t be, right?”

It had only been over six months since she had given birth to An’an. She hadn’t stopped breastfeeding her, either. Usually, her period shouldn’t be coming, right?

However, the period was hard to fathom. It could really be that she was starting to ovulate again. Beastmen’s sense of smell was very sharp. Given how Parker was so easily aroused, there was a very high chance that her period was coming again.

Parker sniffed Bai Qingqing and couldn’t help but gulp, turning his head away with great difficulty. He took in a few breaths of fresh air and then said with a hoarse voice, “Your scent is very alluring.”

I must hold on! We mustn’t mate! It’ll be bad if Qingqing gets pregnant with a female child.

“Ahh! I don’t want to go into heat!” Bai Qingqing said in annoyance. She walked over to a big tree that was like a water tower and knocked against it.

A red patch quickly appeared on her forehead. Bai Qingqing knocked against it again, but this time, she knocked against a hot palm.

“Parker?”

Parker said, amused, “Everyone else wishes to go into heat every day, but things are different for our family. Going into heat is a troublesome thing instead.”

“Ahh, it is troublesome! Over in my world, there aren’t girls who don’t detest this,” Bai Qingqing said.

However, after having come to the beastman world for three years, the number of times her period came was easily countable. She was really lucky!

“It’s just nice that the white cotton is blooming. I’ll go pick some for you,” Parker said.

Bai Qingqing said, “Pick more. Pick enough for one year.”

“Alright.” Parker took An’an from her arms and played with her. He frowned and said, “She’s ignoring me as well. Shall I send the two of you back?”

Bai Qingqing shook her head. “I want to bring An’an out for a walk. She’ll feel stuffy if she’s cooped up at home.”

“En. I’ll be leaving, then.” Parker returned An’an to her and then headed back home.

Bai Qingqing looked around. She had no idea where the leopard cubs had gone, so she could only go look for Molly.

She had just arrived at Molly’s place when she heard wailing sounds coming from inside. Bai Qingqing was very scared and quickly carried An’an on her back and left.

She walked aimlessly around the village and unknowingly came to the cave the little snake lived in.

“Little snake?”

Bai Qingqing’s call resonated in the spacious, dark, and humid cave.
