Beauty and the Beasts

Heavy rain poured down, and the heavy rain droplets came down like marbles. Some more tender leaves had holes pierced through them and the shattered tree barks couldn’t splatter upward, let alone there being any tree sap splattering out. Bai Qingqing’s worry was unneeded.

Very soon, a huge tree fell.

With a leap, Parker jumped onto the tree trunk that was a few meters in height. After he sliced off the bark with the ax, Winston, who was behind him, peeled off the tree bark with his bare hands.

…

In the stone castle, Bai Qingqing stood at the door and looked outside, looking like the Amah Rock¹.

The wind kept on blowing, and the light Bai Qingqing was often pushed back a few steps by the wind. If she were to hold onto an umbrella, she’d probably fly up.

Bai Qingqing’s face turned increasingly pale from the wind, looking like flawless snow. Her pink lips were parted slightly and her droopy big eyes occasionally blinked, adding a hint of intelligence to this face that was considered so perfect that it seemed unreal in the beastmen world.

She looked in the far distance, lost in her thoughts, unaware that she was also being watched by a pair of eyes with a fixed gaze.

Muir stood at one side and watched for a very long time. Eventually, he was lost in his thoughts and subconsciously walked toward her.

The legs of eagle beastmen were unlike other beastmen and had no fur or paw pads. He immediately made obvious footstep sounds when he walked on the stone floor.

Bai Qingqing turned and looked toward him, smiling lightly. “Why have you come out?”

Only then did Muir regain his senses. It’d be awkward if he turned away, so he could only walk over to Bai Qingqing’s side and stand next to her.

The person next to him seemed a little cold and shuddered a little when a gust of wind blew. Muir’s wings stiffened and propped out a little, then pulled back, then propped out again. He hesitated and repeated this for a long time before propping out his wings completely, protecting her under his wings.

As the warmth enveloped her, Bai Qingqing felt so comfortable that she wanted to moan. She turned her head and thanked him politely.

Muir felt soft inside and brought her closer toward him, enveloping her completely.

The eagle beastman’s wings were like an electric blanket, not only good for blocking the wind but also having a nice warmth to it. It was a necessity for the cold season.

At this thought, Bai Qingqing felt like laughing. She felt embarrassed to lean against his wings and thus reached out to grab a bunch of his feathers, trying hard to stabilize her body that was wavering from her uneasiness.

Muir’s expression changed ever so slightly, and his wings subconsciously tightened in. His entire body turned numb after being aroused by the small hands exerting a soft strength.

As he breathed, he kept on smelling the light fragrance coming from the female’s body. Muir felt that when he was by Qingqing’s side, even breathing was a form of enjoyment.

Bai Qingqing noticed Muir trembling in that short instant and quickly let go of her grip, saying apologetically, “Did I hurt you? I’m sorry.”

She felt remorseful. She shouldn’t have thought of males being too strong. No matter how amazing they were, they’d have their weaknesses. She seemed to have grabbed onto fine and soft feathers earlier. That must have been eagle beastmen’s sensitive feather layer.

Muir quickly shook his head. When he saw that Bai Qingqing had her head lowered and wasn’t looking at him, he felt anxious and nudged her.

Bai Qingqing understood him and asked, “You’re asking me to continue grabbing on?”

“Coo-coo!” Muir immediately nodded, fearing that she wouldn’t be willing to continue.

Bai Qingqing shook her head. “No, I’ll hurt you.”

It doesn’t hurt! It doesn’t hurt at all!

Muir explained loudly in his heart, feeling extremely regretful. It was fine that he couldn’t let Qingqing continue being so intimate with him, but he even caused her to misunderstand that for his weakness. He felt too wronged.

Seeing that Muir was so anxious that he was about to transform soon, Bai Qingqing immediately realized that she had hurt his pride and quickly grabbed onto his feathers.

“Alright, I’ll do it, I’ll do it,” Bai Qingqing said quickly, but did so a lot gentler this time around.
