Beauty and the Beasts

The huge scorpion was only a few centimeters taller than Mitchell after transforming into his human form, but his disposition was completely different. His hair hung down to his arms, messy and sloppy. His black eyes that one couldn’t see the depths of looked lifeless. He seemed to emit some kind of destructive demonic air that caused the temperature to drop.

He was at his prime but looked like a dying man. It caused one to neglect his handsome looks.

Bai Qingqing then realized that it was no wonder she found Mitchell familiar. It turned out that he was Saint Zachary’s descendant.

It was a miracle that the group of baby scorpions that had been smashed up hadn’t all died, and one of them even grew into a four-striped beastman.

As Bai Qingqing was too astonished, she ended up calling out his name. Saint Zachary’s eyes narrowed, and his cold and tough hand grabbed onto her chin, forcing her to raise her head.

“You know me?” Saint Zachary asked.

Bai Qingqing’s eyes darted around. Should she say it?

If she did, she’d get into even greater trouble. However, she’d be able to strike a negotiation with him to assure her safety.

She had no idea when she’d suffer if left in Mitchell’s hand.

Bai Qingqing went through an intense struggle, her eyes darting and looking around, wanting to look for a high spot to jump down from. This was the easiest way she could summon Curtis.

Bai Qingqing’s silence made Saint Zachary increase his strength. Bai Qingqing’s chin turned pale from his pinch, and she seemed to be in pain.

Mitchell was surprised as well and looked at Bai Qingqing’s countenance worriedly. To let her break free from his father’s hand quickly, he said, “She came across a female soul crystal in the forest before.”

Saint Zachary’s eyes opened wide, and he immediately released his grip. He held onto Bai Qingqing’s head, looking so anxious that his eyes seemed to be popping out. “You obtained her soul crystal? Quickly give it to me!”

He had seen quite a number of females, but Chris was the only one he knew the name of. He was also very surprised that this female could get memories of him from Chris’s soul.

Females were too weak. To think that her memories had been read by a living person. Saint Zachary was very displeased, but what he was more anxious about was to find Chris’s soul.

Now that things had come down to this, Bai Qingqing could only choose the first option. She calmed down and said, “That’s right, I did get my hands on Chris’s soul crystal.”

Saint Zachary was elated. She was even able to say his mate’s name. It was definitely true.

He didn’t expect that even though his search for several decades was to avail, yet it was sent right up to him today. It was really a case of having searched far and wide for something, only to come across it by chance.

Bai Qingqing’s words took a turn and she said, “But I don’t know where it is. I gave the soul crystal to my mate to deal with. If you want to look for her soul crystal, you’ll have to look for my mate!”

With this, she could finally get to meet them, right? She hoped that more problems wouldn’t pop up.

After seeing Saint Zachary, Bai Qingqing then realized that they must definitely not say where they had dug out that soul crystal.

The reason Saint Zachary would go through such great measures in search of his mate’s soul, then those beastmen who had become rootless beasts after the deaths of their mates would definitely search for them too. If that happened, the world of the beastmen would be thrown into chaos.

“I’ll go look for them right away!” Saint Zachary couldn’t wait a moment longer and wanted to set off immediately.

Mitchell’s countenance changed slightly, and he felt that things weren’t going well.

What would happen to him if his father were to agree to hand Bai Qingqing over in exchange? If he knew this would happen, he wouldn’t have sought his father’s protection.

At this moment, many slithering snakes crawled into the hall, following Bai Qingqing’s scent. They surrounded the three of them and released hissing sounds.

The frequency of the hissings was low, and the distance they could transmit to was what the sound of normal talking couldn’t compare against.
