Beauty and the Beasts

So long as it was Bai Qingqing’s request, Winston would complete the task to perfection, as though it was superior’s order. Even if it was something as trivial as a bath, he would cleanse himself thoroughly. After wiping himself dry, he then climbed to the top story of the tree hole.

When Bai Qingqing saw that there wasn’t any moisture on Winston’s body, she had thought that he didn’t bathe. But then again, thinking that he wouldn’t lie to her, she didn’t question him about it and merely lifted the blanket.

“Come over and sleep. Keep away the lights, will you?”

“Mm.” Winston kept away the luminous balls, then laid down next to Bai Qingqing and pulled her into his arms in a perfectly natural manner.

The two of them drifted off to sleep with their arms around each other.

Having done the deed once with Winston, Bai Qingqing clearly felt that the child was more energetic. Hence, one day later, she took the initiative and asked to mate with him again. The latter complied without hesitation.

Curtis and Parker only returned to the village about half a month later, bringing back with them nearly a hundred females and five hundred wolf beastmen.

As for the thousands of snake beastmen, they could be disregarded entirely, because Curtis had chased them away the moment they reached the village.

However, a half-grown snake beastman didn’t leave. With red and black snake prints on his body, he bore a great resemblance to Curtis. Though, his body length was only one-third of Curtis’s.

Ssss~ Curtis narrowed his eyes, killing intent evident in his eyes. “To think you managed to sneak in.”

The little snake that was planning to secretly tail his father tensed up.

“Eh?” Parker also caught sight of this little snake. His gaze shifted from the little snake to Curtis, before saying in a shocked tone, “Isn’t this Qingqing’s baby snake? He grew so fast.”

Curtis restrained his killing intent and said coldly as he stared at the little snake, “I’ll pretend I didn’t see you this time. Don’t appear in front of me again.”

The little snakes had yet to mature, so this one was probably just missing his mother, and not seeking her because he desired a spouse. Or else, Curtis couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t lay his hands on his offspring.

The little snake let out a hiss and fled in panic.

“Don’t tell Snow,” Curtis said to Parker.

Eyes rolling about, Parker said roguishly, “Depends on my mood, I guess.”

Pa!

A golden-haired youth was sent flying away once more.

Parker crawled to his feet and stared at Curtis with clenched teeth. “I’ll go back and tell Qingqing right away!”

With that, he transformed into a leopard and sprinted away.

Ssss~

Curtis, too, slithered towards the village.

When the duo rushed home, they saw that Bai Qingqing was taking her nap, the warm environment making her cheeks appear rosy and tender. It was a tranquil and beautiful sight, making two anxious hearts lower back to their original positions.

The village started buzzing with life. Winston cast one final glance at Bai Qingqing, before leaving the bed reluctantly to make arrangements for the village.

With great chemistry… or perhaps being unable to hold himself back, Parker immediately ran to the bed and took over Winston’s job of warming up the nest.

An unfamiliar odor suddenly entered his senses, making Parker halt in his actions. He twisted his head to bare his fangs at Winston, letting out a growl as he did so.

Although he was mentally prepared for Qingqing to mate with Winston, he couldn’t help feeling wretched when he sniffed it with his own nose.

In a rush to tend to the village matters, Winston went down the tree immediately. With him gone, Parker could only direct his anger at Curtis.

“This is all your fault. If I was around, Qingqing wouldn’t have chosen him.” Though his expression was ferocious, his voice sounded a little choked and aggrieved.

Curtis didn’t refute that and merely coiled his body around his head.

Roar~

Upon hearing the commotion, the cubs ran to their daddy’s side and started licking his legs.

Now that the kids were around, the tree got noisy all of a sudden. Bai Qingqing mumbled something, then propped herself up and opened her eyes.

“Curtis? Parker?”
