Beauty and the Beasts

“Roar—”

A tiger roar rang out from the direction of the waterhole.

Worried that Parker and Curtis wouldn’t inform him and he’d miss Bai Qingqing giving birth, Winston specially asked the tiger beastmen in the tribe to immediately call him if anything happened.

Winston immediately looked in the direction of home.

“Qingqing… is going to give birth…”

Winston’s heart palpitated. He turned into his beast form and took a few jumps before eventually landing on the ground. He then dashed back home.

“Ah— Ah—”

Before reaching home, Winston already heard Bai Qingqing’s cries from their tree hole. He felt even more anxious and sped up.

Bai Qingqing was sitting on the bed, leaning back. Her pale face was covered with sweat, and tears filled the corner of her eyes. She was clearly bearing immense pain.

One of her hands was grabbing onto Curtis’s hand, the other onto Parker’s. She was exerting so much force that her joints had turned pale and her fingernails sank deeply into her two mate’s skin.

“It’s so painful!” Bai Qingqing cried out, her curly lashes wet from tears and her vision also blurred.

Curtis’s face was tensed up as he gripped her hand. Parker’s face looked anxious and his face trembled as he wiped the sweat off Bai Qingqing’s face. He looked at Curtis and asked, “Why is Qingqing in so much pain? Why is it different from when laying snake eggs?”

After saying that, he then looked at Bai Qingqing and asked, “Was it so painful when you were giving birth to the leopard cubs as well?”

Bai Qingqing was in so much pain that she couldn’t say a word. She clenched her teeth tightly and shook her head. After this round of labor pain passed, more tears gushed out from her eyes. She cried loudly and said, “I don’t want to give birth anymore… Boohoo…”

Parker hugged her head and coaxed her gently. “We won’t give birth anymore, we won’t, not anymore.”

Curtis flipped up the blankets to take a look before saying to him, “Go get the doctor.”

“Alright!” Parker picked up Bai Qingqing’s hand, kissed it, then stood up.

When he walked to the tree hole’s entrance, he came across Winston rushing back.

“How’s Qingqing?” Winston asked anxiously.

Parker clenched his teeth, letting out an enrage low growl from his throat. He wanted to give Winston a trashing. It was because of him that Qingqing was in so much pain. But he was more anxious to look for the doctor and thus only threw Winston a harsh glare before jumping down from the tree hole.

Winston quickly walked over to Bai Qingqing’s side. She was grabbing onto a tuft of animal skin. He pried her hand open and held onto it tightly.

“Qingqing…”

Bai Qingqing turned to him. Winston’s scarred face looked weather-worn and fatigued. Right now, there was an additional hint of anxiety on it, and her heart ached after seeing that.

Seeing how Winston looked, Bai Qingqing suddenly felt that it was worth it going through this pain for him once.

Bearing with the pain, Bai Qingqing gradually wore a smile and said weakly, “You’re back?”

Winston held onto her hand with both hands and brought it to his chest.

“Don’t talk. Save your energy to give birth.” Winston’s voice was low and deep, carrying a hint of suppressed anxiety.

Bai Qingqing nodded and took in a deep breath, trying hard to give birth to the child.

The extreme pain continued for some time, and she was starting to feel a little numb.

Noises rang out in the tree hole, and two mature leopards ran up.

Harvey was almost pushed over by Parker. The moment he got up the tree hole, he was urged to turn into his human form. Bai Qingqing’s mates were all in the tree hole, but none of them cared to ask him to put on an animal skin skirt.

“Why is Qingqing in so much pain? Is there any way to ease it?” Parker asked anxiously.

Harvey took a look at Bai Qingqing laying down. With the gazes of three experts looking at him, a layer of cold sweat quickly broke out on his forehead.
