Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Did Winston Become Rosa’s Male, After All?

“Why didn’t he answer me and suddenly ran away?” Bai Qingqing touched her face. Was she really so exaggeratedly good-looking in their eyes? But why did he suddenly run away?

Noticing the slim and long shadow on the ground, Bai Qingqing then realized that Curtis was right next to her. She turned her head and cast him a dubious glance.

Curtis said, “I’ve filled the basket with lobsters. Are we going to the mountains now?”

Bai Qingqing dismissed the bear from her mind and happily nodded. “Mm, let’s go now.”

Parker’s voice could be heard from afar. “Wait for me. I’ll bring the lobsters back first!”

“Okay!” Bai Qingqing shouted to him. “Bring the basket back with you okay?”

Parker halted in his footsteps. He had a bad feeling.

Carrying the basket, Parker asked uneasily, “What are you going to put in it?”

“Some wild vegetables.” Bai Qingqing raised a hand and patted his shoulder. “Relax. Perhaps there aren’t any wild vegetables outside, so I might end up not putting anything in it.”

Parker felt slightly more at ease upon hearing this.

Bai Qingqing didn’t wish to be so inconvenienced every time. She didn’t want to rely on males for a living forever. For chores such as washing vegetables, she couldn’t even lift the stone basin used to contain the vegetables. She had to create some light tools. Also, she felt that it was a waste to leave such useful tools lying around.

If the beastmen couldn’t accept putting any living creatures other than their young cubs inside such weaved containers, she would use them to contain wild vegetables and mushrooms first. She believed that as the females gradually saw the usefulness of such weaved containers, the males would then find it easier to accept.

The roads in the City of Beastmen were well-connected, but there was only one exit, and that was through the four big stone castles.

Like Bai Qingqing, the females in the city were bored stiff. Almost all the females were out with their males. Sitting on their mates who were in beast form, they were surrounded by various ferocious beasts, only letting their favorite mates transform into their human form to speak with them.

The most carefree ones among them were the females who had eagle beastmen as mates—they didn’t have to squeeze with the crowd like everyone else.

An eagle beastman flew by with a female on his back, and behind him were three to five male beasts shoving their way through the crowd in order to keep up with their female.

Bai Qingqing was the only one walking on her feet.

Shocked by what she saw, Bai Qingqing was left with her mouth hanging open.

“How magnificent…”

Parker puffed up his chest in a proud manner. “Our village is big, isn’t it? There are nearly ten thousand beastmen.”

“Very big, indeed.” Bai Qingqing nodded her head. After walking some distance, she found her shoes covered with mud. She shook her feet and said with a fond memory, “I wonder how things are like in Camel Hump Valley now.”

The houses in the City of Beastmen were too densely built, so it wasn’t as natural an environment as in Camel Hump Valley. Compared to the modern ages Bai Qingqing came from, it wasn’t as luxurious as well. Tired of living in a concrete jungle, Bai Qingqing preferred a natural environment where she was surrounded by greenery and mountains.

“The living conditions there are not ideal during the rainy seasons. It floods often. Also…” Parker glared sideways at Curtis in a displeased manner. “it’s not safe. I was planning to bring you back to the City of Beastmen during the rainy season.”

Bai Qingqing nodded to express that she understood.

Just then, the deep roar of a tiger boomed in the vicinity.

Bai Qingqing looked towards the source of the sound and saw a tiger carrying a female closing its mouth and walking over on its four strong limbs with ten-odd beasts walking in neat rows behind them.

Coming out from the tiger king’s stone castle, their statuses were clear for all to see. Bai Qingqing looked carefully and realized that the female was Rosa.

But what astonished her was the white tiger in the entourage behind Rosa.

Did Winston become Rosa’s male, after all?
