Beauty and the Beasts

He only created an illusion of the most beautiful state he had seen Bai Qingqing in to stop Curtis in his footsteps.

As the ape king raised his hand, “Bai Qingqing” suddenly smiled and ran toward Curtis.

Curtis still didn’t show any reaction, but his upper body turned into his human form.

Ten meters, eight meters, five meters… “Bai Qingqing” was about to pounce when she was one meter away from Curtis when he suddenly moved. He reached out and grabbed “Bai Qingqing” by the neck.

The human figure in his hand continued to wear a smile but suddenly dissipated.

“Pffft!”

The ape king spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Curtis lowered his head and looked at his right hand that he had used to crush the hallucination with. It was unknown what he was thinking, and he was in a bit of a stupor.

The ape king immediately created another Bai Qingqing. This time around, she was sitting on the grass, crying softly. Curtis looked at her and put his right hand behind his back.

The door to the wardrobe in the bedroom was pushed open, and a golden-haired man walked out.

“Jean.”

The golden-haired man walked over quickly. When he saw that Jean was unscathed, he heaved a sigh of relief.

The ape king swallowed the blood in his mouth and stared at the illusion, not turning his head as he said, “Take her and leave!”

Jean pounced into King’s embrace. Hearing that, she asked, “Then, what about you?”

“I’ll hold him back. You guys leave first!” The ape king held onto his breath.

Jean was stunned for a moment. She tiptoed, then planted a light kiss on the ape king’s face. “If there’s a next life, I’ll still choose you as my mate.”

The ape king, as well as the “Bai Qingqing” in the illusion, stiffened as if they were frozen.

The ape king looked at Jean, his slightly aged face broke into a blissful smile. “Go on. I won’t be able to hang on for long!”

Jean didn’t say anything. King took a look at the snake who seemed to still be in a daze but didn’t attack. He carried Jean and turned to enter the wardrobe.

Having seen Curtis’s strength before, he didn’t think that a mere three-striped beastman’s capabilities would be able to hold him back.

Even if it was possible, he would still need to pay a tremendous price even if he wished to launch a sneak attack. Moreover, he still needed to protect Jean.

In the illusion, the face of “Bai Qingqing” broke into a blissful smile that was the same as what the ape king was wearing. She looked up and said to Curtis, “If there’s a next life, I’ll still choose you as my mate.”

Curtis said, “Hmmm?”

“If there’s a next life, I’ll only choose you as my mate!”

This was the ape king’s wish, but it was also the wish of all males. Curtis was no exception. Since he couldn’t kill Curtis, he would just use a beautiful dream to entice him.

Curtis finally walked toward her, the blood-red lips on his cold face curled up into a pleased smile. “Alright.”

All the males in the village were suppressed. Parker forced out an answer on where the ape king’s residence was. When he arrived, he saw Curtis smiling foolishly to the air.

Parker was completely stunned.

He then saw the ape king standing at the door. A savage expression appeared on his leopard face, and he ran over rapidly.

“Roar—” The leopard opened his mouth and broke the ape king’s neck with ease.

The illusion broke down, including the “Bai Qingqing” whom Curtis’s gaze was fixed on.

Seeing the face of his beloved disappearing, Curtis anxiously reached out to grab her.

“Hey, Curtis…”

Parker had wanted to mock him when he suddenly sensed danger, and all the hair on his body stood up. His body then flew uncontrollably.

“Roar!”

In the air, Parker changed into his leopard form and fell onto the wet grass.

Curtis slithered up to the ape king’s corpse, picking up the head that had been bitten off and putting it back on the neck.

However, it was useless.

Parker groaned as he crawled back up, bellowing fiercely at him. “Roar Roar Roar!”

“Ssss—”

Curtis turned and glared at him coldly, his eyes filled with fury.
