Beauty and the Beasts

He hadn’t gone that far off, but Muir was panting heavily. His breathing system, which was usually very powerful, seemed as if it had shriveled, unable to supply the required oxygen level for his body, giving him the delusion that he was suffocating.

Did Qingqing tell Parker to follow him? What did she want to say?

He had already taken the initiative to leave, so what else did Qingqing want to say? Was it because she was feeling indignant and wanted for Parker to personally tell him to “scram” before she could feel satisfied?

Muir’s muddied claws tensed up. He exerted so much force that he trembled. However, his body, which was being hit by the bullet-like rain, was as sturdy as a stone statue, his back view giving off a lonely and proud aura.

Parker slowed down. His heart suddenly softened when he looked at the eagle beastman in this state. They were both males, and he could understand the pain of loving someone but not having the love returned… not.

Qingqing didn’t let him feel so upset for long, and they easily became mates. His spousal mark was on her chest as well.

At this thought, Parker felt happy, and his acceptance toward Muir also became higher.

He turned into his human form and spoke with a light-hearted tone, “Why are you running away?”

Muir felt very angry. This leopard must be seeking personal revenge and wanted to crush him hard under his feet.

His eagle eyes turned toward the back, a hint of coldness flashing past in his eyes.

He didn’t mind teaching this leopard a lesson before he left. Now that things had come down to this, what other things wouldn’t he dare to do?

Parker only felt that Muir was very gloomy, but that was how Muir always had been. He didn’t feel the hostility that Muir had toward him and took light strides toward the eagle beastman.

Muir’s beak was shut tightly, his claws clenched tightly, clawing up the mud under his feet.

“Qingqing told me to get you back. Come with me quickly. I want to check if she has finished her noodles.” Parker urged.

Muir was stunned, then cast him an inquiring look, his heart filled with doubt.

Qingqing told him to go back? For what? To reproach him herself? Or…

Muir didn’t dare to think about anything else. It had just popped out of his head when he extinguished it by his cowardliness.

Parker had no idea that he had just narrowly passed by the threat of being badly beaten up. He didn’t care what Muir thought and turned back into his beast form, then turned and ran back.

After running for a few steps, he didn’t hear the eagle beastman following him and thus turned to let out another urging cry. “Howl!” (Hurry up.)

Muir paused for quite a while before he then ran after Parker.

Bai Qingqing had just finished the entire bowl of noodles and even the soup, so her stomach felt bloated. However, as she hadn’t had a proper meal for a few days, she felt unsatisfied and picked up the bowl to lick it.

When Parker and Muir came back, what they saw was Bai Qingqing licking the bowl happily.

Parker paused in his footsteps, and a stunned expression appeared in his eyes as he looked at her. Even the unsettled Muir also clearly paused for a moment.

Bai Qingqing seemed to sense something and moved the bowl that was bigger than her face slightly downward, revealing her big and downward drooping eyes. When she saw who had come, her big eyes instantly opened even wider, and a red flush rapidly appeared on her face.

“Cough! I was afraid that it wouldn’t be easy to clean the bowl after the oil inside coagulated,” Bai Qingqing explained clumsily, as if trying to hide something, then put on a solemn expression with half her face covered in grease as she placed the bowl on the table.

“Howl howl howl!” Parker burst out laughing. Thankfully, he was in his beast form, and even bursting out in laughter, he seemed as if he was howling.

Bai Qingqing could tell that Parker was laughing now that she understood him. She consoled herself that Muir wouldn’t understand him and thus was barely able to keep up with her mature image.
