Beauty and the Beasts

Screech screech screech!

The three little guys flapped their wings and kept on calling for their mommy.

Bai Qingqing tore three pieces of meat and fed them in succession, saving everyone’s ears.

Parker suddenly felt down when he looked at these three little eagles. His golden beast ears on top of his head drooped down.

“What’s the matter?” Bai Qingqing licked her fingers and asked.

Parker said weakly, “I suddenly miss the leopard cubs.”

In the past, he’d only find them troublesome when he saw them. Now that he suddenly couldn’t see them anymore, possibly even not being able to see them forever, he started to miss them a little. He felt like getting them to appear to find trouble for him.

Bai Qingqing felt dejected, too. “I wonder how An’an is doing.”

The little snakes were the children she felt the most assured about. They had inherited legacy and at least wouldn’t be aggrieved amongst their own kind.

Winston pulled out a chair and sat Bai Qingqing down, saying, “The leopard cubs are all very strong. When I last saw them, they were already ten years old, almost the size of adult leopard beastmen. They’d become adults in another six to seven years and will be able to have their own families soon.”

Parker heaved a sigh of relief and took a glance at his mate’s stomach. If it wasn’t because he wanted to fight for the right to marry her, he felt that it wouldn’t be bad to give birth to male children either.

“It’s just An’an…” At the mention of An’an, Winston started to miss her too. “Bluepool should be able to take good care of her.”

Curtis sat down next to Bai Qingqing, peeled a prawn, and stuffed it into her mouth. At the same time, he said, “Let’s just eat.”

Bai Qingqing also nodded. “Hurry up and eat. The dishes are getting cold.”

With the three little eagles around, the atmosphere quickly became lively. With the Chinese New Year Gala playing on the television, the family had a lively reunion dinner.

After dinner, they even lit up fireworks on the roof the second it crossed into the next year.

In that instant, the fireworks’ lights lit up their joy-filled faces.

…

After the new year celebration, Parker traveled to film some forest scenes. He left for another three to four months.

Muir cooperated with Parker’s contract, playing a guest role in the movie as a mysterious character. He received a huge remuneration that wouldn’t be an issue to provide for food for a year. Not having to fret over money, he continued to learn, trying hard to get rid of the illiterate label.

As for Winston, he continued to be elusive every day, busy with his own stuff. However, Bai Qingqing vaguely had the feeling that his company was getting increasingly showy even though he still tried to keep a low profile.

Curtis completely cut off connections with the advertising company he worked with previously, but people often approached him to endorse their products. He’d accept the job offers if he was in a good mood, but would still reject them most of the time. Of course, the job offers he accepted were all high-class products Like Youyou Perfume.

This caused the audience to have an extremely good impression of Curtis, and he had a mysterious vibe even within the industry, making it hard for others to comprehend him. Most of the time, Curtis would still be busy with the zoo.

The zoo that Curtis had built opened for operation. Its name was “Qingqing Zoo”.

When Curtis acted all secretive and brought Bai Qingqing to the zoo back then, she was both scared and pleased.

She was scared in case her parents became suspicious, but happy because of the honor.

Faced with Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai’s questions, Curtis’s explanation was: “I couldn’t think of a good name. It happens that Qingqing’s name is quite suitable, so I just used it in passing.”

Moreover, he also gifted them a lifelong free entry card. With it, all expenses within the zoo could be negated.

Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai felt overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and happily sold off their daughter’s name just like that.

The zoo was located in a more secluded spot, but because Curtis had some fame and Parker also publicized it on Weibo, when the zoo opened, many people who didn’t live far off came to visit.
