Beauty and the Beasts

Early the next morning, the three brothers who had just learned how to transform couldn’t help but urge their mother to go out to have fun with them. When Bai Qingqing asked them where they wanted to go, the three brothers replied in unison: “Amusement park!”

Hearing this answer, Bai Qingqing was caught between laughter and tears. “You’re still kids? Don’t you find it embarrassing to be going to the amusement park?”

“We’ve wanted to go since we were little. Mommy, just bring us there!”

The three Mu brothers tugged at her. Unable to withstand their pleas, Bai Qingqing replied with a smile, “Alright, I give up. Let’s go, then.”

Howl~

A white and a yellow tiger also bounced over and called out to their mother while gazing at her in anticipation.

Bai Qingqing tapped their foreheads. “You’re not allowed to go.”

The anticipation in the two pairs of tiger eyes was instantly replaced by intense disappointment and regret. Wen Ze opened his mouth wide and let out a deep growl, “No!!!”

It was a perfect combination of a tiger growl and English, making one unable to distinguish.

Bai Qingqing was dazed for a few seconds before holding a hand to her tummy and maniacally erupting into laughter.

“Do you need to do that? You kids.” Bai Qingqing held her stomach and laughed as she squatted on the floor.

The two tigers angrily stood at the side, ignoring their mother.

It took Bai Qingqing a good while before she recovered. She moved over and stroked their fur. “Alright, be good. After you come of age, Mommy will bring you guys there, okay? I really can’t now. If you guys go, no one would be left in the zoo.”

Huff!

Wen Lin snorted. Nevertheless, his heart softened and he edged closer to lick his mommy’s palm. Roar~

“Good boy, Little Lin.”

Roar~

Wen Ze also immediately came over to lick his mommy.

Bai Qingqing hugged Wen Ze and rubbed his fur for a good while before going upstairs to the third story to wake up her daughter.

Having just had such a large amount of information sprung on her, it was only natural that Bai Zhenbei had insomnia. She had only dazedly fallen asleep at dawn, and even with the blanket pulled away from her now, she couldn’t be bothered to open her eyes.

Startled by the dark circles under her daughter’s eyes, Bai Qingqing’s heart ached as she asked, “What time did you sleep last night?”

“Ooh… no idea,” Bai Zhenbei replied vaguely.

Bai Qingqing said gently, “I’m bringing your eagle brothers out to play at the amusement park. Do you want to come along?”

Bai Zhenbei closed her eyes and didn’t respond. It was unknown if she had heard her mother. Just as Bai Qingqing was about to repeat her question, she said in a sleepy voice, “No.”

“Alright. Sleep well, then. Let’s go together next time,” said Bai Qingqing.

“Mm,” Bai Zhenbei responded with a nasal tone.

Bai Qingqing covered her daughter with the blanket, then drew the curtains carefully so as not to make any noise, before leaving the room.

Bai Zhenbei slowly opened her eyes and stared into space for a while, before grabbing the little snake beside her pillow and pulling it into the blanket, before closing the eyes.

“Isn’t Sister coming with us?” Mu Tian asked with a look of disappointment when he didn’t see his younger sister.

Bai Qingqing explained, “Huahua didn’t sleep well last night. She’s still sleeping. Next time, perhaps.”

Knowing that their younger sister had learned a lot last night, the three brothers could understand.

Bai Qingqing and Muir brought the three brothers out, and the two tigers could only stay at home.

They were even more bored than the leopards now. The leopards at least had a vast space to play in, and when they got bored they could go over the mountains to hunt for food. Unlike the tiger cubs, who could only stay in a small space. After their family went out, they felt like they were confined in prison.

Bai Zhenbei had just woken and her eyes were as swollen as walnuts.

She rubbed her eyes as she went down the stairs, and in her blurred vision, she saw a yellow figure dashing towards her. She subconsciously called out, “Brother Lin?”

Only after saying that did she realize that the “Brother Lin” she had just called out was really her biological older brother.
