Beauty and the Beasts

A black sedan drove slowly toward Muir, coming to a stop beside him.

Muir glared at the black and shiny monster in front of him. He had seen a lot of these earlier.

All of them had bright and shiny “eyes”, legs that spun at rapid speed with strange structures, and would even “tempt” prey to walk into their stomachs by themselves.

He could still see the humans through the translucent “skin”. They didn’t even feel anything after having been eaten and were still chatting happily.

This box wanted to eat him now? Hmph, dream on.

He happened to feel a little hungry, so he should have a meal while he was at it. He hoped that this box wasn’t poisonous.

Muir walked toward the sedan and was about to swing his fist when the window was rolled down.

“Hello, you’re Chinese¹, right?” A middle-aged man’s face appeared from the other side of the window.

Muir paused. He was expressionless, but his heart was turbulent.

The humans in the monster’s stomach were awake!

An opening had appeared in the monster’s stomach, but why did the people inside not crawl out? Could he have misinterpreted it? Was this monster actually a ride that the humans tamed?

The man in the car assessed Muir, who was only wearing a tiger skin skirt. He took a few more glances at his arms that were so long they reached his upper thighs and looked extremely satisfied.

Liu Yi was a swimming coach. The Olympics swimming competition was taking place next week, and the athletes’ condition under him wasn’t good. Therefore, as the coach, he faced great pressure and thus had to drive out for a breather.

He didn’t expect to find someone born with a swimming physique in the suburbs. Those long, slender, and strong arms would definitely allow this person to swim extremely fast even if he hadn’t been put through strict training.

Liu Yi’s occupational habit kicked in. He didn’t think too far into this but felt that he mustn’t miss out on such a perfect athlete. Therefore, this scene happened.

Chinese… Muir recalled that Qingqing had mentioned before that she was Chinese.

Muir suppressed his doubt and asked in a deep voice, “How do I get to China?”

Liu Yi smiled. “You’re really a Chinese. Did you grow up locally? If you want to return to China, then take a plane.”

This guy’s physique looked even more perfect from up close. Liu Yi was starting to feel that he had met him too late.

“Flying chicken¹?” Qingqing would sometimes call the broken wings birds chickens. Flying chickens were broken wings birds before their wings had been snipped off?

He wanted to say that he could fly too, but he didn’t know the way. Therefore, he changed his mind and said, “Where can I take a plane?”

Liu Yi was stunned and his gaze turned a little strange. He started to wonder if this guy was an aboriginal who had grown up in the mountains.

He sure looked the part. No self-respecting man would go around wearing a piece of animal skin that was like a super, and the athletes’ condition-short skirt.

Liu Yi wasn’t local and didn’t know if there were any aboriginal people in this country. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

“Why don’t you come back with me? If you can help me, I’ll bring you back to China,” Liu Yi said.

Muir didn’t have a better solution and thus nodded.

Liu Yi smiled and got out of the car, helping him to open the door politely. “Get on.”

After getting out of the car, Liu Yi realized that this guy was very tall. He looked to be at least two meters tall. There wouldn’t be any problem even if he wanted to play basketball.

Muir furrowed his brows tightly together, staring at the monster’s stomach warily.

There were many layers inside. It wasn’t high enough for him to stand, but there wasn’t enough space for him to squat either. However, this strange thing didn’t seem to be a living creature, and he didn’t need to fear he’d get digested.

“Get on,” Liu Yi said patiently, no longer feeling annoyed after he had come out.

Muir saw that the strange object wasn’t sturdy. Even if anything happened, he had the confidence of breaking out from its shell. Therefore, he bent over and entered.

He then squatted down on the seat.

Liu Yi was rendered speechless.

He really was an aboriginal!
