Beauty and the Beasts

“You want to relieve yourself?” Molly asked with a raised head when she saw Bai Qingqing’s look of constipation.

Bai Qingqing tried holding it back for a while, turning her head to look towards Muir. He walked over right away.

“I’ll send you back,” said Muir.

Bai Qingqing held a hand to her stomach and got up. Lately, her stomach had been terribly bloated. If it weren’t for the fact that her period had come on time half a month ago, she would have thought that she was pregnant.

She had been feeling dull today. She figured it was constipation, so she ate a lot of vegetables this morning. Seems like it worked.

“Forget it, I’ll go over there to settle it. Muir, help me keep a lookout. Don’t let anyone come over!” Bai Qingqing said as she pointed at a large tree surrounded by plenty of grass.

Muir walked over there first. “I’ll help you dig a hole.”

Bai Qingqing’s face flushed a little, but she didn’t refuse it. Holding a hand to her stomach, she hurriedly caught up to him. She didn’t forget to remind Molly, “Help me keep an eye on An’an.”

“Go ahead!” Molly picked up the drawing pencil Bai Qingqing left behind and distractedly waved a hand, tempted to give it a shot herself.

Staring at the meticulous work, she ultimately couldn’t bear to do it. So, she simply plucked a tree leaf and started doodling on it.

Bai Qingqing squatted in the newly-constructed makeshift toilet and remained in that position for a long time.

Dammit, it was constipation indeed. Nothing came out.

After squatting for a long time, her legs started turning numb. Terribly missing the modern toilet, she leaned against the tree trunk to lessen the burden on her body.

Ah! Tummy hurts so bad! I feel so tormented! Will a laxative pill please drop from the skies?

Bai Qingqing ranted maniacally inwardly as she gripped the leaves next to her. A thick stack of green leaves had already piled up by her feet, emanating an intense botanical bitterness.

On the other side, after waiting for a long while, Muir asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”

“Ooh~ Don’t talk to me.” Just let me vanish from the earth. To be acting like this in front of her mate… was too embarrassing!

If she had known this would happen, she would have gone home. Was it too late to do that?

“Qingqing, An’an fell asleep!” Just then, Molly’s voice suddenly rang from the Flos Eriocauli field.

Bai Qingqing’s eyes lit up and she said loudly to Muir, “Bring An’an back first. I’ll go back by myself later.”

Muir didn’t immediately respond. Furrowing his brows, he pondered for a moment before saying, “I don’t feel safe leaving you alone.”

“What can possibly happen to me in the village?” said Bai Qingqing anxiously.

The anxiousness in her tone also sounded like impatience. Only then did Muir say, “Okay, I’ll carry An’an back now.”

Bai Qingqing heaved a big sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

After Muir left, feeling bored, Molly carried her female baby over to look for her.

The rustling of the grass made Bai Qingqing look over. At the sight of Molly’s face, she smacked her forehead and said, “Can you not look at me?”

“Oh, okay.” Molly retreated into the bushes with a grin and sat down with her back facing her. “I’ll wait for you here.”

Bai Qingqing recalled going to the toilet in a group with her besties back in school and couldn’t help sighing with emotion. “Girls indeed are of the same species. It’s the same even in the beastman world.”

After Bai Qingqing finished plucking the grass around her, she finally made some progress. She felt something gliding downwards.

F*ck, what the heck is this! Is this the legendary intestinal stone? Does it need to be so exaggerated?

Very soon, Bai Qingqing sensed something wasn’t quite right. The spot from which it came out seemed like…

“Ooh!” Bai Qingqing tightened her grip on the grass and let out a muffled sound.

“Qingqing, why does it seem like you’re laying eggs?”

Molly’s voice seemingly rang from far away, probably because of the awful sensation in her abdomen, distorting Bai Qingqing’s five senses.
