Beauty and the Beasts

“All of you, back off! You aren’t allowed to bite them!” As Curtis said this, he flicked out his tongue.

The young leopards instantly cowered. They stood there unwillingly, refusing to budge.

Even though they couldn’t bite the snakes, it wasn’t bad to scare them such that they didn’t dare to move either.

However, the snakes weren’t afraid of them anymore and slithered past them blatantly, climbing up the tree to the attic on the second floor of the villa.

After obtaining the latest news from the wild snakes, Curtis sank into deep thought.

Muir sat opposite him and asked after the snakes slithered away, “How is it?”

“That girl is a little interesting,” Curtis said.

“I feel that she’s well-behaved and won’t create trouble.. Since you agree too, then let her come home.” As Muir said this, he stood up. It was his son, after all, so he was a little biased toward Mu Ya.

Curtis said, “Wait for a little more.”

Muir turned and threw him an inquiring glance. “Don’t go overboard.”

Curtis said, “I’m just doing a final test.”

After saying that, he stood up as well, tidied his clothes, then walked out.

At this hour, that girl should be at work.

…

The bar was filled with cigarette smoke, flashing lights, and alcohol. There was music as well as wriggling bodies, forming a befuddled scene.

Curtis had some random person make a nice-looking glass of alcohol for him, then leaned against the table sluggishly, looking around.

His fiery-red long hair and elegant looks caused him to attract a lot of attention the moment he entered. However, due to his cold and aloof disposition, no one was prepared to chat him up yet.

The murky air caused Curtis’s sense of smell to be completely gone. He could only rely on his eyes to search for Shen Yin.

Muir had come, too. Dressed in black clothes, in addition to his quiet and reserved disposition, he almost integrated into the air. He was considered to have a low profile.

Although they had come together, he kept a far distance from Curtis. Even though they had lived together under one roof for several decades, it couldn’t change their relationship as love rivals.

As beastmen, both of them hated the murkiness of a bar. Just as the two of them were unable to take it anymore, Shen Yin finally appeared with a rag.

She seemed to be heading to clean up a dirty table. Curtis immediately got up, but someone got to her before he did.

“Young lady, you’re new here?” A guy in his twenties blocked Shen Yin’s way.

Under the flashing lights, his features looked handsome, his figure long and slender. Most importantly, his clothes didn’t look cheap.

Men like him who were young, handsome, and weren’t lacking in money tended to be very popular.

Curtis leaned against the table again with interest.

Since someone wanted to help to test her out, then he’d just wait and see how things went.

Shen Yin seemed as if she hadn’t seen anything. In fact, she had never looked up at anyone before. She passed by the guy and continued to head for her destination.

“Turns out to be a cool beauty… I like it.” The man moved and blocked Shen Yin’s path once again. “Give me the honor of having a drink with you.”

Seeing that she couldn’t pass by this guy, Shen Yin gave a miserly reply, “No.”

“How about this, if you were to drink one cup, I’ll give you 100 yuan. It’s enough to cover your one day of pay, right?”

Shen Yin was unmoved.

The man then said, “200, 300, 500.”

Seeing that Shen Yin’s expression didn’t change at all, the man became even more interested. He said, “How much do you want?”

Something like this was very common in bars. He’d often give tips to waitresses. He wasn’t the only one. Many rich people, or people who wanted to look good, would give tips. The employees here should have gotten used to it.

This was the first time he had seen one who didn’t take the money that was offered.

Shen Yin lowered her head even more. The man thought that she had finally been bribed and was prepared to pay a lot of money, so his gaze became offensive.

However, he didn’t notice that Shen Yin’s hands holding onto a rag had clenched into fists. She was using so much force that her joints had turned pale and her body was trembling slightly.

Her father’s words resounded in her ears, bellowing so loudly that her mind became groggy.

“That slutty face that only knows how to seduce men!”

“Like your mom… only knows how to seduce men…”

“State your price. But you’ll have to accompany me for the entire night…” The guy took Shen Yin’s small hand. But before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly turned into a sharp and agonizing howl.

Shen Yin had somehow gotten a small knife, and the instant the man touched her, she thrust it harshly in reflex.
