Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 449: Leave

Curtis didn’t mention anything about the merfolk tribe. Judging from the baleful aura he was giving off, it was clear that things hadn’t been resolved peacefully. As Bluepool was around, Bai Qingqing didn’t ask.

“Where are you guys going? Are you going to leave Sea Cliff?”

Alva became anxious and rushed over to stand in front of the group. He looked at his village with a struggling expression, then suddenly took in a deep breath and said, “I’ll go too. I want to go with you guys.”

Bai Qingqing let out a soft “ahh.” Before she could react, Curtis resolved the matter for her.

Carrying her, threw Alva a glance, then spoke in a cold voice that sounded as if it was covered in ice. “I hate those who can fly.”

Alva’s heart wrenched. The glance from the snake beastman was definitely filled with killing intent.

Why was it that all of Bai Qingqing’s suitors had such a strong desire to monopolize her? Given that even Muir was unable to become Bai Qingqing’s mate, he should have even less hope.

Alva didn’t say anything else and just followed behind them secretly after they left.

…

On the way, Bai Qingqing kept digging at her ears, finally getting all of the water out. She could finally hear clearly, but she still felt some pain in her ear canals.

“Ahhh, I’m so thirsty!”

A voice that sounded as if it was coming from someone on the verge of a breakdown rang out behind them. Bluepool had an animal skin skirt around his waist, and he held onto a small tree as he panted vigorously.

“You’ve already drunk water five times.” Parker turned back and looked at the merman impatiently.

“I’m so thirsty that I’ve become dried fish.”

Parker then said, “The land isn’t suitable for you. Go back to your ocean.”

“This won’t do. I have to look for a female.” Bluepool shook his head vigorously.

Their conversation woke the cubs, and they started meowing away.

Bai Qingqing said, “I’m going to have to eat as well. Why don’t we find a river and take a break?”

Bluepool’s eyes instantly gleamed.

Curtis took a look at her in his arms. “Didn’t you just eat? Your appetite wasn’t this big in the past.”

Bai Qingqing blushed, indicating for Curtis to take a look at the cubs. She spoke in a soft voice, “I have to feed them.”

Curtis turned and looked at the cubs, appearing baffled. However, he soon changed his direction.

After arriving at the river, Bluepool dived into the water with a splash. He only floated up after a while, his eyes spirited as he spoke loftily, “I’m going to soak in the water for my entire life! I’m never coming out again!”

Bai Qingqing covered her mouth and laughed quietly.

Parker went off to hunt. The cubs appeared very curious toward the new member, Curtis. They looked at him with their moistened yellow eyes wide open.

The young knew no fear. They weren’t snake beastmen who had inherited a legacy and would thus have an instinctive fear toward their father. They didn’t notice any danger and thus took the initiative to approach Curtis.

Curtis hadn’t had another life form taking the initiative to approach him in the past. He found their actions very novel.

Such tender and small things were most suitable as snacks.

Curtis flicked out his tongue, realizing what he had just thought. He quickly suppressed his appetite.

“Children, come here.” Bai Qingqing sat amongst the grass half a person high. It wasn’t possible to see her body from the outside.

“Meow—”

Leopard beastmen had a strong sense of curiosity. First and Second hadn’t understood what Curtis was and couldn’t bear to leave.

Third, who often ate the “leftovers,” found his chance. He secretly lifted his paws and walked toward Bai Qingqing.

Bai Qingqing threw a glance at the lake. After seeing that she wouldn’t be easily seen from there, she pulled down her clothing and urged. “Quickly.”

“Meow—”

First and Second turned to look in their mother’s direction. Seeing that Third was already heading there, they instantly stopped looking at the new member and rushed over.

Third straightened his back and ran quickly, pouncing into his mother’s embrace.
