Beauty and the Beasts

Bai Qingqing was brought home by Curtis in the middle of the night. She hadn’t slept for long when she heard the beast howls. Her sleepiness instantly disappeared, and she opened her eyes with huge dark circles.

“They’re back!” Bai Qingqing climbed down from Curtis’s tail, tidied her hair, and ran out.

Curtis changed his sleeping position and his tail wrapped changed to wrap around An’an, who was still deeply asleep.

“Clank clank clank!”

Parker took off his armor nimbly, then shook up his fur that had been pressed down by the armor. When he saw his mate running toward him, he dashed over excitedly and pounced on her down to the floor, sticking out his tongue and licking her non-stop.

The exhilaration of a victorious battle made his blood boil. He howled loudly, but it wasn’t enough to vent his feelings. It was the most satisfactory to press down his mate and be intimate with her.

Of course, to avoid hurting his mate’s tender skin, Parker remembered to only lick her hair despite his agitation.

Bai Qingqing tried to dodge, saying in disdain, “Your mouth smells of blood. Don’t lick me.”

The leopard cubs ran out as well, acting crazily like their daddy. They bounced around like fleas around the two of them.

“Things must have gone smoothly,” Bai Qingqing said. She did feel a little grief at the thought of the scorpion beastmen who had died a horrible death. Those were lives, after all.

Parker turned into his human form, raised his brows, and said confidently, “With me joining the battle, how can we not be victorious?”

Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes at him. “Get up quickly. You’re squishing me.”

Parker glanced at Bai Qingqing’s stomach and got up quickly. “It’s been two months now. Let me feel if your stomach has gotten bigger.”

He then reached his hand under Bai Qingqing’s dress, his scorching palm resting against her flat and tender skin.

“It’s still so flat. There’s definitely no children.” Parker guessed out of spite.

Bai Qingqing was very trusting toward Curtis and said, “Food is scarce recently. It could be that I haven’t eaten well.” Moreover, she still had to nurse a child. She was already thankful that she hadn’t stopped producing milk.

Bai Qingqing felt comfortable from the warmth and thus didn’t care how Parker’s posture made her look ungraceful. However, at this moment, Winston came running back. His four legs were equipped with metal claws and made clicking sounds when he stepped on the ground. The sounds then suddenly stopped.

Bai Qingqing quickly looked at him and got up, saying sheepishly, “Parker is just feeling the child.”

Winston replied with a howl, the faint jealousy in his heart replaced by a strong sweet feeling. He walked over to Bai Qingqing’s side and nudged against her.

“I brought the water pipes back. We can use them to plant paddy in the future,” said Winston as he turned into his human form. When he saw a small eye crusty at the corner of Bai Qingqing’s eyes, he pursed his lips to hide his smile, then raised his hand and wiped it off her gently.

The male’s finger was thick and hard, but his action was extremely gentle. For an instant, Bai Qingqing was immersed in that gentleness. When she reacted to it, she quickly flushed.

Bai Qingqing lowered her head and rubbed her eyes roughly before saying with embarrassment, “When I heard your voices, I came running out before washing up. Since you’ve brought the pipes back, then leave them at home. We don’t know when we’ll be able to use them again.”

Bai Qingqing was a little disappointed. It had been two years since she ate rice. God knew how much she craved it. Thankfully, the wheat could still be made into a rich variety of food. Otherwise, life would be even harder.

Winston immediately said. “The males who joined us brought some rice with them. We’ll sow them next year.”

Bai Qingqing’s eyes gleamed. It was really two simultaneous happy events taking place.

“Where are they? How much are there?” Bai Qingqing then smiled, feeling embarrassed. “Rice is so precious, they must have kept it for themselves.”

Winston rubbed the top of her head, having a strong urge to remove the rice hulls and cook them for his mate.
