Beauty and the Beasts

Three half-grown young cubs ran to Bai Qingqing’s legs and were about to rub their wet bodies against her legs when Eve chided them. “Come back, you’re going to get Bai Qingqing’s clothes wet.”

“Purr!”

The leopard cubs let out two aggrieved purrs before stopping next to Bai Qingqing’s feet.

“It’s alright, I’m already a little wet,” Bai Qingqing said with a wave of her hand. Bending over to stroke the leopard cubs, Bai Qingqing’s smiley eyes were narrowed into crescents. “So adorable. And they’re so big now.”

“Purr.”

Vigor instantly restored, the three young cubs fought to rub their faces against Bai Qingqing’s palm. Bai Qingqing stuck out both hands and stroked them on their heads.

Seeing Bai Qingqing’s interaction with the leopard cubs, a broad smile appeared on Parker’s face. Very soon they would have a litter of leopard cubs of their own. Since Qingqing even liked someone else’s leopard cubs so much, when the time came, she would definitely be more fond of his little cubs!

There were many bachelor beastmen in the City of Beastmen. When they received news of the moving in of the females of a different tribe, they grilled their signature roast meat and wrapped them up in tree leaves, before bringing them here.

Of course, the females, who were in need of food, gladly accepted it. These bachelor beastmen now had a chance to pursue them. Eve was one of the recipients of such gifts, and since Bai Qingqing had no interest in playing gooseberry, she went up to the top story with Parker.

The two of them had just come up, and Curtis had also just crawled up the rail by the wall. His upper body was transformed into human form and he was perched on the rail as he tossed his snake’s tail into the room.

Bai Qingqing gazed outside, then said to Curtis, feeling somewhat angry, “Why did you go down by the wall? Be careful not to fall off.”

At hearing his mate’s reprimands, Curtis’s gloomy mood turned sunny. He asked, “What’s up with those people?”

“The heavy rain destroyed the village, so these beastmen have come to the City of Beastmen to seek refuge.” Bai Qingqing briskly strode into the bedroom as she spoke. She removed her belt and peeked inside. Thankfully, her pants weren’t stained with blood. Also, this time it was pretty quick. She figured her period would have completely ended by tomorrow.

Parker excitedly walked to Bai Qingqing’s side, lowered his head, and looked inside. “How is it? Can we copulate tonight?”

Bai Qingqing immediately tightened her belt and looked up to roll her eyes at Parker. “Pervert!”

“I was merely taking a look,” Parker said as he gazed at Bai Qingqing innocently.

Bai Qingqing was caught between laughter and tears. Just admit it if you’re a pervert. There’s no need to act innocent.

“Are you sure you want to copulate right after I finish going into heat?” Bai Qingqing’s pitch raised towards the end. Despite sensing a scheming there, Parker still said resolutely, “I’m sure!”

“Alright then!” Bai Qingqing took a deep breath that went right into her diaphragm. “I’ve stopped bleeding this afternoon. We can do it already.”

If he wishes to copulate, so be it—it’s not like we haven’t already done it several times. It’s just that this time we will be doing it in Curtis’s presence. Since even Parker isn’t afraid, what am I afraid of?

Moreover, her period had just ended, so it was highly possible that she wasn’t in ovulation. Hence, her chance of conception was very low. Curtis already impregnated her in one strike last time. She didn’t believe she would be so lucky as to have it happen a second time.

Guess I’ll just leave it to luck. If I get pregnant, I’ll just give birth to them. Else, there’s nothing I can do about it.

Parker straightened his body, before bending over to sniff Bai Qingqing’s body. Overjoyed, he said, “I’ll go and take a shower right away!”

“Wait a minute!”

Parker, who had just run out several steps, backtracked. By then his body had already transformed into leopard form uncontrollably. “Roar roar? … Roar!”

As though suddenly understanding her request, Parker turned around and started running again.

Bai Qingqing glanced outside at the gloomy skies and murmured to herself, “So impatient. Can’t you wait till night time?”

Curtis walked out with an expressionless face. Bai Qingqing gazed over worriedly, then got up to see where he was heading. She saw him holding several little snakes and walking out of the secondary bedroom.

“Curtis.”

Curtis glanced up at Bai Qingqing. “They’ll be staying on the fifth story tonight.”

“Oh.” Bai Qingqing was relieved to see Curtis’s calm response.
