Beauty and the Beasts

“He is…?” Winston asked.

Bai Qingqing said, “Ah, the tribal head sent him to bring me food. I told him you’d bring food back later and didn’t accept it.”

After saying that, she grinned. “You really did bring back prey on your way back. We really share a connection.”

Winston looked dotingly at her. “Let’s go. I’ll roast meat for you.”

“En!” Bai Qingqing took the luggage from him with zeal. When the petite girl carried the massive baggage, it blocked her entire body, exposing only her legs at the bottom. When looked at from the front, it looked like a bag had grown a pair of legs.

Bai Qingqing’s change was so great that Malcolm was stunned. However, he didn’t feel dejected. Instead, he held a greater yearning for a future in which he could become Bai Qingqing’s mate.

Winston noticed Malcolm’s audacious gaze and threw him a warning glance. Malcolm’s body felt cold, and he felt as if there was a sharp blade pressed against his back.

He was just a one-striped beastman while the other party was a four-striped beastman king. It was clear how great the pressure he felt was.

Malcolm immediately withdrew his gaze, lowering his head and not daring to look around recklessly.

Bai Qingqing stuck out her tongue secretly, thinking that Winston was really amazing.

Winston shielded her to the door and then said coldly, “Why aren’t you leaving?”

Malcolm immediately turned. Winston said, “Take your food away!”

That voice that was filled with pressure caused Malcolm’s body to tremble. He quickly dashed over to pick up the food and then fled.

After Malcolm had run far away, Bai Qingqing laughed loudly, patting Winston’s shoulder and saying with her brows raised, “I didn’t know you were so good at scaring people!”

The way he acted was like the leader of a group of gangsters. If she were to encounter someone like him before coming to the beastmen world, she’d definitely think that she had encountered a gangster.

Winston felt puzzled. He didn’t think he was scaring the other party. He was only going by the book and giving a warning.

Seeing that Qingqing was happy, he didn’t retort but asked in a gentle voice, “You haven’t eaten well these few days. How would you like it prepared?”

Bai Qingqing waved her hand, then carried the luggage and headed to the bedroom. “Just roast it simply. What about those eagle beastmen? Where will they stay?”

“On the trees,” Winston replied.

Bai Qingqing sighed helplessly, feeling a little guilty.

She laid out the animal skin bedding for sleeping on the ground. Winston started up a fire and hung up the food to roast it. The scent of barbecued meat quickly filled up the room.

Bai Qingqing didn’t feel anything when smelling other people’s food earlier, but she felt hungry now and came over to wait for it to be ready.

It was just that the furnishings in this male’s house were very simple and shabby. During the hot summer day where she was dressed in thin clothing, it was prickly on the butt to sit on the piece of wood. Bai Qingqing would rather squat.

Winston added a few more pieces of firewood to the fire, then reached out to pull Bai Qingqing into his embrace, letting her sit on his leg.

“Winston?” Bai Qingqing’s face turned red. This pose seemed too intimate. It wasn’t as if they were doing that deed.

This seemed to be the first time she was spending time alone with Winston. Moreover, his disposition was very strong. Although they had been mates for so long, she still felt a little embarrassed, and her heart couldn’t help but palpitate.

Winston’s face also turned a little red, maybe due to the firelight. He kept on turning the barbecued meat, and, after seeing that a layer of the surface was cooked, he immediately said, “This part is cooked. You can eat first.”

After saying that, he tore off that piece of meat. However, things turned out awkward. Only the surface of the meat was cooked. It was still dripping with blood on the inside.

Bai Qingqing gulped. She felt that she wasn’t able to eat this piece of barbecued meat like a piece of medium-rare steak.

Winston’s face turned even redder. He felt too embarrassed to speak to her, so he stuffed the meat into his mouth, puffing out hot air as he chewed on it.
