Beauty and the Beasts

But what welcomed them was their mommy, who was holding onto a wilted vine and hitting it with her other hand, wearing an angry expression.

The leopard cubs’ legs suddenly felt a little limp.

The leopard cubs squatted down in a line in the bedroom. Although they were leopards, they looked extremely like primary school students who had done something wrong.

Bai Qingqing only indicatively lashed them twice gently, then threw the vine onto the floor after entering the bedroom. Anyway, it didn’t seem that they were going to let the cubs off. Parker was a greater threat compared to the vine.

Winston came back too. After finding out what the leopard cubs had done, he didn’t try to speak up for them either.

“Do you guys know your mistake now?” Bai Qingqing asked with a stern face.

“Uhh uhh~” The cubs were especially well-behaved today, but they thought in their hearts, It’s such a pity. We almost stole the eggs. But the eggs…

Bai Qingqing looked at Muir, who was squatting in the nest like a wooden statue, and said, “Quickly apologize to Muir.”

Before the leopard cubs could do anything, they were slammed to the ground by their daddy’s paws. They let out a few pitiful howls.

It was a pity that everyone in the family felt bad for the chicks that hadn’t hatched yet. No one felt bad for them over this little pain.

The leopard cubs lay on the ground, looking at Muir in front of them, and howled, seeming to be apologizing to him.

Muir pretended as if he hadn’t heard anything. He didn’t even raise his eyelids.

Parker then bit at their necks a couple of times. The leopard cubs’ cries turned more pitiful. After biting the first one, he went to bite the second one, not letting anyone off.

In the end, Bai Qingqing’s heart ached for the children and she secretly nudged him. Only then did Parker let the cubs off.

The leopard cubs were still feeling extremely baffled. They threw a glance at Muir, then at the nest under him. They suddenly howled at their daddy while trembling. “Howl howl~”

Parker paused and he looked toward Muir in astonishment.

Muir’s heart skipped a beat from Parker’s gaze. What did the leopard cubs say to him? Could it be that they had done something else that was harmful to the eggs?

Muir felt so anxious that it felt as if he was going to spew flames from his eyes. Parker then glared fiercely at the cubs, turned into his human form, and said, “It’s nothing.”

“Howl!”

The cubs immediately started howling away, not even scared of being beaten up anymore, as if they wanted to prove something. They were slapped down by Parker.

The leopard cubs looked toward Muir and cried out even more agitatedly after seeing that his gaze didn’t seem friendly when he looked toward them.

If the eagle beastman were to find out, he wouldn’t get angry at them anymore. The most… the most it’d be another one. However, the other one was hibernating and they didn’t need to be scared of him for now.

Parker was so angry that he turned back into his beast form, then pounced on them to bite them. Damn it, how dare they say that those eggs were Curtis’s? If that was true…

Parker shivered, not daring to think about it. He wasn’t going to accept such a reality. Not only did Qingqing birthed Curtis’s eggs, but they were also hatched by Muir. If this was true, he’d get so angry that he’d spurt blood and die.

This must have been the excuse the leopard cubs thought up to get away from the blame. They deserved to be bitten.

Therefore, Parker bit them even harder. The cubs kept on crying out agonizingly and finally kept quiet, not daring to make a sound.

Bai Qingqing was scared by Parker’s fierceness and quickly pushed him away. “What are you doing? Are you going to bite them to death?”

Even Muir felt surprised, but his heart felt even heavier. It seemed that there must be really something wrong with the eggs.

Muir turned his head away, his aura feeling even heavier than before.

The leopard cubs got free from their daddy’s mouth, and, under their mommy’s protection, all of them slipped away. Their small figures limped away, looking very pitiful.

Parker felt upset and couldn’t stand to stay here, either. Before Bai Qingqing reproached him, he ran out.

Throughout the entire process, Winston silently watched the educating of the leopard cubs, then looked toward Muir.
