Beauty and the Beasts Chapter 661 - Saw Something She Shouldn’t Have Seen

Chapter 661: Saw Something She Shouldn’t Have Seen

If it was a mature woman with extensive experience, one week in the world of beastmen and she would have noticed this problem.

“Beard?” Curtis shook his head. “You like that?”

Bai Qingqing shook her head repeatedly. “No! Those with beards are uncles! How could I possibly like that?”

“What’s an uncle?” Curtis raised another question.

There weren’t complex forms of address in the world of beastmen, only the concept of “Mom” and “Dad.” Even Bai Qingqing’s leopard cubs addressed Curtis and Winston as their names in their heads.

“The old ones,” Bai Qingqing said in pa.s.sing. Immediately after, she covered her mouth with a hand, her eyes rolling towards Curtis.

Indeed, Curtis’s countenance darkened, and his soft and gentle voice lowered a pitch, sounding so icy it was as though it floated from a freezing season. “You don’t like me because I’m old?”

Bai Qingqing wished she could just chop her tongue off.

“No.” Bai Qingqing meekly explained, “You’re not an uncle because you look young.”

So that still made him an… uncle due to his age.

Bai Qingqing also felt that her explanation didn’t sound convincing. That was because she had always regarded Curtis as an uncle! Though Curtis had a soft, gentle, and insanely gorgeous face.

Ssss~ Curtis flicked out his tongue and licked her lips. He said, “Never mind, several tens of years later, there won’t be a large gap between us.”

“Mm, mm.” Bai Qingqing exhaled and nodded repeatedly.

As they were speaking, Parker entered with food. When Bai Qingqing was eating, Curtis stroked her head and said, “Take a nap after you eat. I’m going out now.”

As Curtis very rarely left the house, she quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and asked, “Where are you going?”

“The odor of floating beasts is too intense, even the rainwater can’t mask it. I’ll go over and take a look, and also take the chance to eat something,” Curtis explained, then transformed into a snake and slithered out.

Bai Qingqing didn’t really mind though. More floating beasts just meant more meat to eat.

When Curtis arrived at the city wall, he perched on top of it and peered at the world outside the village.

Ssss~

Flicking out his tongue to capture the scent in the air, he detected floating beasts everywhere.

But the city walls were thick and solid enough, and evenly constructed on the edges, making it difficult for wild animals to climb them. So long as the floating beasts weren’t able to enter, there shouldn’t be too big of a problem.

Curtis thus dismissed it from his mind and slithered out of the village in search of food.

…

The heavy rainy season was the peak season in which females went into heat. Several days later, a large batch of females finished going into heat, and the village gradually became a pond that housed an army of frogs, with all sorts of moaning and animal howls ringing throughout the night, making for quite a lively scene.

As Rosa hadn’t yet recuperated, the tribal head didn’t get his men to send her away for the time being. But unexpectedly, she went into heat at this time.

Now, the bachelor males in the village couldn’t sit still anymore, especially those eagle beastmen who didn’t have much sense of belonging to this village, to begin with. They started weighing the pros and cons of bringing this female away from the village or to seek another female.

But the heavens didn’t give them much time to hesitate, for a group of gate-crashers suddenly flooded into their village the next morning.

Roar!

Angry tiger roars reverberated throughout the village amid the rain, breaking the tranquility they previously enjoyed.

Awoken from her sleep, Bai Qingqing grumpily pulled the blanket to cover herself.

Roar!

Lying next to her, Winston also let out a low growl and climbed out of bed.

“What’s going on?” Bai Qingqing rubbed her eyes and stuck out her head to look up at him.

As though to respond to her, the next moment, the white tiger transformed into a human. Caught off-guard, Bai Qingqing accidentally caught sight of a large lump of something she shouldn’t have seen.
