Beauty and the Beasts

“Take whatever you want to eat. You can eat freely.” As Bai Qingqing said this, she picked up a piece of red braised pork and put it into Curtis’s mouth, looking at him and saying, “Have a taste. It might be a little salty. Just bear with it.”

Curtis’s heart softened and he ate the food.

The taste was stronger than the food Snow ate in the beastmen world. To Curtis’s taste buds, it was quite a huge challenge.

He swallowed the food without any changes to his expression, giving her a satisfied nod.

Bai Qingqing let out a heave of relief, then picked big pieces of meat to fill up the plate.

The two of them had come late and didn’t manage to find a seat. Therefore, they just squatted in a corner to eat. After they were done, they’d go and get more food, then continue to eat. It was an endless cycle.

When Bai Qingqing went to get food once again, she felt that the restaurant’s staff had their eyes on her.

A middle-aged man dressed in a suit and leather shoes was glaring at her fiercely.

Bai Qingqing knew this guy. He was the owner of this restaurant. He would be amicable even when some male students ate so much that they puked. This was the first time she saw him with a grim countenance.

Bai Qingqing gulped, then continued to get food. Only then did she notice that there wasn’t much food left in the meat section.

This restaurant was very generous, and the food supply wouldn’t stop from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. However, they were already out of food today when it wasn’t even 1:00 PM yet.

Had they already eaten so much? They were considered to have suffered a loss today!

Bai Qingqing felt guilty, but there was still Curtis behind her, waiting to be fed. Therefore, she could only steel herself and reach out for a steamed fish.

The owner’s glare became even fiercer. Bai Qingqing felt pressured by the glare. Her elbow joints felt as if they were lacking lubricant and her movements were choppy. When the fish ended up on her plate, a layer of cold sweat had already covered Bai Qingqing’s head.

Seeing that the girl reached out once again, the owner had the impulse of eating her up.

Eat eat eat! Had she not eaten for 800 years to be able to eat so well? Moreover, she’d only pick the meat dishes! She should go back home and eat themselves!

Right now, the owner really felt like cooking the two of them and putting them up for sale!

Bai Qingqing and the owner had a secret dispute across several people. Bai Qingqing was almost losing when the owner suddenly felt a chill as if some wild beast had set its eyes on him. His body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, and all the hair on his body stood up.

The owner subconsciously turned his head. Across the many human figures, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes.

It was hard for him to describe what kind of eyes they were. He was only certain that this was an extremely dangerous person.

Was this the guy who was with that girl? His gaze looked very strange. The shop couldn’t have become haunted by some evil existence, could it?

The owner wasn’t a superstitious person, but he was starting to have doubts today. He was scared by this thought and broke out in a cold sweat. Ignoring today’s losses, he turned to leave anxiously.

Bai Qingqing let out a big sigh of relief, then turned to look at Curtis.

Curtis immediately changed into a gentle expression. “Ssss~”

Bai Qingqing was so scared that she glared at him and gestured as if she was going to teach him a lesson. This caused Curtis to break out in a smile again.

It was rare to see him smile, and Bai Qingqing couldn’t get herself to be angry with him. She smiled and quickly loaded the plate with meat.

This time around, Bai Qingqing piled up the plate even higher, only squeezing her way through while protecting the food after the plate was too full to put any more meat.

“Go on and eat.”

Curtis drank a cup of juice, took the plate, then started eating in big bites. Bai Qingqing’s heart ached to see him like this.

“Are you full? Let’s go out after finishing these,” Bai Qingqing said helplessly. If they still didn’t leave, she was scared that the owner would drive them out. That would be too embarrassing.

Curtis paused, then looked at her in amusement, saying, “Alright.”
