Beauty and the Beasts

Actually, Alva had always felt that Muir was no ordinary beastman. Seeing him successfully find a mate, he was happy for him too.

Molly glanced at Muir again. Although she mistook him for having mediocre capabilities, for some reason she felt a sense of oppression.

After introducing Muir to her good friends, Bai Qingqing went to tease Molly’s female baby. Her name was Anna, and she had grown a bit since she last saw her. The baby had tanned skin, proportionate facial features, and resembled a little boy.

“Anna.” Bai Qingqing tickled Anna’s chin with her finger.

Anna, who wasn’t at all afraid of strangers, instantly responded with a beam. She wrapped a strong and tiny hand around one of Bai Qingqing’s fingers and started babbling incoherently.

As a female, Anna came into contact with many beastmen since she was born, and was accustomed to having strangers come up to her to please her. Seeing the pretty Bai Qingqing, she couldn’t help but want to get closer to her.

Bai Qingqing looked very surprised. “Gosh! She’s talking to me!”

“She even knows how to say ‘Mama’.” As she spoke, Molly held up Anna’s little hand and shook it as she coaxed, “Say ‘Mama’.”

“Ma… Mamama…” Anna obediently obliged.

Bai Qingqing’s expression turned from delight to gloom. She jolted little An’an, whose face was buried in her chest, and thought to herself: To think a female baby several months younger learned to speak earlier. Is Anna fast, or is An’an slow?

“What about your An’an?” Molly noticed the female baby in Bai Qingqing’s arms. Wrapped firmly in a piece of animal skin, only her silvery-grey curly hair that reached her ears, as well as her chubby and fair little hands, was revealed on the outside.

Before she even saw her face, Molly was attracted by An’an’s snow-white skin. With envy in her eyes, she marveled. “She has such great complexion and resembles you so much.”

Bai Qingqing smiled and sat down on a piece of clean rock, before turning An’an to face everyone.

Several gasps rang simultaneously. Alva’s azure eyes instantly lit up. Even Molly, a fellow female, was momentarily mesmerized by the pretty and exquisite little doll.

She had thought that Bai Qingqing was already the most beautiful. Unexpectedly, her female baby turned out to be even more stunning. No wonder Bai Qingqing never let other people see An’an. No wonder.

It was fine for Molly to stare however long she wished. But it was unacceptable for a male like Alva to do so. He very quickly sensed an icy gaze from Muir, making him immediately retract his gaze.

Molly had yet to go into heat after giving birth to this female baby, but Alva was in no hurry. Hence, he and Molly… still had an ordinary relationship.

He was still young and was in no hurry to procreate. If he waited till his capabilities leveled up, his offspring would be more powerful. But today, he suddenly couldn’t wait any longer.

It would be a reckless waste of god’s gifts to leave such a pretty female be. Even if he couldn’t pursue her, he must let his offspring woo her.

It was the light rainy season now, so perhaps Molly would go into heat soon. When the time came, he must impregnate Molly before Edgar did.

But females came of age earlier than males. The earliest ones came of age at 14 or 15, and even for the later ones, no later than 16 or 17. As for males, they usually only came of age at 18. Hence, his male offspring couldn’t possibly be An’an’s first spouse. But it was fine. He was the only beastman from the peacock tribe in this village, and with his gorgeous appearance, An’an was bound to be fond of his offspring.

Engrossed in his daydream, a lewd smile appeared on Alva’s face as he carried Anna in his arms.

Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes at the sight of his smile. Knowing he was a severe case of a vain pot, how could she not realize he had designs on her An’an?

“Hey! Carry Anna over here and let them play together.” Bai Qingqing loudly interrupted Alva’s daydreaming.
