Beauty and the Beasts

After all the commotion and finally returning to their warm and comfortable home, Bai Qingqing slept for one day and one night.

When she woke up, the lighting in the room was quite dark, and her brain was also very groggy from all the sleeping. It was so heavy that she couldn’t raise her head. When she woke up, she saw a warm and furry body next to her. It felt so smooth that she couldn’t help but touch it a little more.

“Howl?”

Parker felt that Bai Qingqing had woken up and immediately opened his eyes. He crawled on top of her and his legs stepped by her side as he used his head to nudge against her face intimately.

Bai Qingqing finally raised her hand to rub her eyes, looking at the leopard head above her with a blurred vision. She blinked her eyes in a daze.

Parker’s heart melted, and he nudged against her face hard before turning into his human form, saying, “You’ve finally woken up. You’ve slept for a really long time.”

“How long have I been asleep for?” The moment Bai Qingqing spoke, she realized that her lips were dry and her throat was hoarse. She pushed Parker’s chest and said, “Help me get a cup of water.”

“Okay.”

Parker agreed, then darted out of the blanket. He covered her tightly, before putting on an animal skin skirt in a hurry and then leaving.

Bai Qingqing turned around in the warm bedding and then started to recall the events that had taken place before she fell asleep. She shot up and straightened her body, looking around the room anxiously.

She immediately saw a black eagle with messy feathers laying on the grass pile opposite her. Bai Qingqing then looked to the left and right. Curtis was nowhere to be seen.

Was Curtis angry that she had brought Muir back?

Bai Qingqing’s heart was in a state of chaos, and she didn’t feel the chill in the air. Her skin that was exposed to the air broke out in goosebumps.

The curtains were opened and Parker entered with a cup emitting steam. When he saw that Bai Qingqing was sitting up, he immediately hastened his footsteps.

“Aren’t you cold? Quickly cover up with animal skin.” As Parker said this, he sat down on his heels by her side, picking up the blanket and wrapping her up with it. He then brought the hot water to her lips.

“Drink up. The temperature is just nice.”

The steam brushed against Bai Qingqing’s face, slightly softening her flaky lips. She took a small sip of water with Parker holding the cup and then asked, “How is Muir? Has he not woken up all this while? What about Curtis?”

Parker was a little jealous. He went under the blanket as well, wrapping Bai Qingqing’s body even more intimately. He replied, “Muir’s injuries are very serious, and he’ll need to sleep for another two days. Males’ bodies will recover by themselves when they are asleep. When he wakes up, he should be fine. Curtis was poisoned by scorpion poison previously and ran out by himself to vent it out. He’ll only be returning in another few days.”

Hearing that, Bai Qingqing felt a little more at ease. Then, she asked timidly, “What… What was Curtis’s reaction when he first woke up and saw Muir?”

To think that she had fallen asleep. She shouldn’t have done that. If she had known, she would have hung on until Curtis woke up.

Parker sat behind Bai Qingqing, using his chest to warm her back. Wrapping his arms around her slender waist, he listened as she kept on talking about Muir. Although she didn’t spell things out clearly, she was speaking up for him. This made him feel even more displeased.

Although Muir had forcibly become mates with her, Parker knew that Qingqing had accepted him.

In the future, there was another male in this family. Just this thought alone gave him the urge to scratch a wall.

Feeling upset, he rested his head on top of Bai Qingqing’s head, saying dejectedly, “I didn’t pay attention.”

“Why didn’t you keep an eye on them? You weren’t around at that time?” Feeling anxious, Bai Qingqing didn’t notice that Parker was feeling upset.
