Beauty and the Beasts

He had to go look for Bai Qingqing to ascertain the leopard beastman’s identity, but the blue-tailed fox’s pungent fart smell hadn’t dissipated yet. If he were to head over in this state, Bai Qingqing would definitely despise him.

At this moment, Muir flew to the tree branch that his wooden house was on.

“Muir, you were looking for me?”

Alva immediately walked toward him. Ever since he was given a beating, he had been very respectful toward Muir. Firstly, it was out of submission to his strength, and secondly, it was for Bai Qingqing.

They were both Bai Qingqing’s pursuers, but he couldn’t win against Muir. Therefore, if he wished to become mates with Bai Qingqing, he could only get into a good relationship with Muir.

“Haven’t you always wanted to find out about Bai Qingqing’s past?” Muir faced Bai Qingqing’s wooden house and said in a deep voice. “I’ll tell you about it today.”

Alva was elated. It seemed that Muir was permitting him to woo her. It’d be a lot easier for him to woo Qingqing now.

Muir didn’t care what Alva thought and said, “Qingqing came from the City of Beastmen. The leopard beastman outside is the mate she likes the most.”

Hearing this, Alva’s smile stiffened and an intense disappointment welled up in his heart. He had always been proud and thought that if he were to become mates with a female, he must become the female’s most beloved male. He had lost his chance now.

“Due to some reason, we fled to this place. Right now, that threat has disappeared.”

Alva suddenly realized something and asked anxiously, “Is it very good in the City of Beastmen?”

Muir assessed the surroundings before saying, “The territory is 100 times this place.”

Alva’s countenance turned a little pale and he threw a meaningful glance at Muir. “You’re saying that Qingqing will return to the City of Beastmen with the leopard beastman?”

“It would depend on what Qingqing wants,” Muir said.

Alva’s body swayed, only stabilizing himself after supporting his hand against the branch. “I get what you mean. You don’t wish to let Qingqing go back either, right? I won’t let the leopard beastman in.”

Bai Qingqing was too beautiful. She must have many pursuers in that kind of big village. Even a three-striped beastman like Muir hadn’t been completely accepted by her, let alone himself, a two-striped beastman.

Moreover, he had tribesmen to manage and wasn’t able to chase her all the way to the City of Beastmen.

Muir heaved a sigh of relief. He had been hesitant and thus came to look for Alva to leave the decision to him.

“In the future, we’ll each rely on our own capabilities to woo Qingqing. I won’t beat you up again.”

Alva looked at him and said solemnly, “Alright, with your word, if Bai Qingqing were to accept us in the future, I’ll view you as the boss.”

Muir didn’t reply. He turned into his beast form and flew toward Bai Qingqing’s wooden house. Alva also turned into his beast form and flew out of the village.

Parker’s patience was wearing out and he was on the verge of going berserk. When he saw that a new peacock had finally come flying over, he quickly took a few steps forward.

“I can be allowed in now, right?”

As Parker said this, he assessed the new peacock. Why did this peacock leader have so few feathers? He looked very skinny and weak and didn’t seem to be comparable to these peacocks on guard. Could he really call the shots?

Alva took a few assessing glances at the leopard tribe’s male, especially in his groin area. He ignored the leopard beastman’s strengths and only picked out the areas in which this beastman wasn’t comparable to himself.

This is the male that Qingqing likes the most? How could his short yellow hair be as good-looking as us peacocks?

However, he still looked a little childish but was already a three-striped beastman. Alva felt admiration for him from the bottom of his heart. For an instant, he felt some regret. But after thinking that there was still Muir, his confidence returned a little.

“Gah—”

Alva let out a hostile cry and Parker immediately backed off a few steps, turning into his leopard form and roaring back.

What’s going on? Could it be that this peacock village wants to keep Qingqing to themselves?
