Beauty and the Beasts

Howl howl howl!

The leopard cubs climbed up onto Muir’s back, also using jumps and clawing to get on. They then sat down docilely, looking like they were ready to set off.

However, one of them was seated on Muir’s left wing, one on Muir’s right wing, and one laying on Muir’s tail wing that was laid out like a fan. Putting aside the fact that the critical parts for flying were all being pressed down, they might also fall off if they weren’t careful.

Muir shook his body, not daring to take flight.

Bai Qingqing was caught between laughter and tears, reaching out her leg to push off one of the cubs on Muir’s wings. She smiled and said, “Muir won’t be able to fly with you guys like this.”

Howl~

The leopard cubs sounded aggrieved, and the remaining two weren’t willing to get off either. They just sat there shamelessly, refusing to budge.

Muir stood up, and they became even more docile. Their claws in their furry paws were all stretched out, locking onto the feathers under them tightly.

“Coo-coo~” Muir stretched one leg and placed it under Second, who had been pushed off by Bai Qingqing.

The dejected Second instantly became excited upon seeing this. All four of his legs stepped onto the steel-like eagle claw, his round and furry body standing up with his four limbs put together. He looked like a conical shape and appeared very amusing.

Muir then shook his other wing, causing Eldest to fall off too, letting him stand on his other leg.

Bai Qingqing looked down and burst out laughing. “Will this work?”

Muir then turned his head and looked at her with a gaze filled with certainty. He even raised his claws and shook them.

Leopards had agile claws, and when they were locked tightly onto the eagle claws, even though they were hung upside down from Muir’s swinging, they didn’t fall off. They just remained upside down while using pitiful expressions to look at their mommy on top, as if saying: Don’t leave me behind.

Seeing the children in this state, Bai Qingqing’s heart immediately softened. She stopped objecting and turned to beckon toward Third, who was on Muir’s tail.

“Come over to Mommy.”

Seeing that both Second and Eldest had a place to stand and he was the only one without, Third was feeling very worried. Upon hearing his mommy’s words, he opened his mouth and exhaled, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. He then ran over happily.

Bai Qingqing hugged Third in front of her. After they sat on tightly, Muir carried the heavy luggage and flew up steadily.

Curtis had just come over when they flew into the sky. As he raised his head, a few ruffled feathers landed on his face.

“Ssss~” Curtis flung the feathers in front of him away with one hand, meeting the airborne Muir’s gaze. Both beastmen had a hint of challenge in their gazes.

Without any hesitation, Curtis removed his animal skin skirt, turned his legs into a snake tail, then slithered rapidly toward the Chinese wisteria forest.

Muir continued to fly steadily, but one could tell from the force of the wind that he had started to speed up.

This was the first time the leopard cubs were standing from such a high point. They felt both scared and excited, opening their mouths and howling away. Their fur was ruffled by the wind and their small bodies showed an amusing hint of vicissitude.

The way Muir looked when spreading his wings and flying with one leopard cub on him and one each on each claw, looked very much like a fighter jet in games. The children were like the missiles that could be launched.

“Alright, all of you shut up. Be careful of getting an upset stomach if you take in too much wind.” Bai Qingqing put up a stern face and reproached them.

The leopard cubs shut their mouths docilely, their golden eyes gleaming brightly as they looked down at the forest beneath them.

Not long later, Muir found a hint of light purple amidst the green surface and let out an inquiring cry.

Bai Qingqing looked over, patting his back delightedly. “That’s it!”
