Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 236

Chapter 236: Building Snowman

“Your hands are so cold, how can you not be cold?”

“I’m really not cold.” Bai Qingqing wasn’t lying. The rolled snowball seemed to be releasing a tremendous amount of heat, and it was a little too hot to hold. Of course, her temperature was always considered cold when compared to Parker.

Seeing that she really wanted to play, Parker couldn’t bear to stop her. He said, “Then let me help you. What shape do you want to make them into?”

“Roll it into a big ball first for the head,” Bai Qingqing immediately said. Taking the chance when Parker had let down his guard, she slipped out from his arms and pounced into the snow once again, starting to dig up snow.

Parker’s long arms scooped up the snow, gathering a large amount of it. It didn’t take him long to roll it up into a big snowball.

Winston was hard at work, burying the wooden pillars. Bai Qingqing felt bad seeing that he was doing the hard work by himself. She grabbed a bunch of snow, rolled it up tightly, and sent it smashing toward him.

The snowball cut across the air, slowly flying toward Winston. The aim looked pretty good.

Winston bent his fingers and was about to hit the unidentified object away with the back of his hand. He looked up and saw the smiling Bai Qingqing, and his hand immediately paused.

With a “bang”, the snowball smashed at Winston’s muscular chest, leaving a snow-white circle on his copper-colored skin.

Bai Qingqing laughed out loud and said, “Why didn’t you dodge? Did that hurt you?”

Winston looked at Bai Qingqing and shook his head.

“Come over and play. Help me build a snowman,” Bai Qingqing beckoned to him and said.

Parker immediately felt displeased. He carried the snow “ball” with sharp edges and walked up to her. “It’s done.”

“Uh…” Bai Qingqing took the chunk of snow and squatted down to work on it.

Winston had a quiet character by nature, but he still walked over, asking in a solemn voice, “What do you want me to do?”

Parker gritted his teeth together, releasing squeaking sounds.

Bai Qingqing said, “You can make a ball first as well. We’ll each make one snowman, and then make one for Curtis. Oh right, the eggs must be included as well.”

“Alright.” Winston lowered his head and started to dig at the snow, a hint of smile seeming to appear on his lips.

Parker got up close to her, saying in a soft voice, “I’ll help you.”

“Okay.”

The three of them had fun and time passed by unknowingly. At noon, a row of snowmen stood by the stone house.

Bai Qingqing ran back into the house and took out four animal skins, putting on a coat on each snowman. She then used pieces of coal that hadn’t been burned up completely to decorate the snowmen’s faces.

These snowmen might not look nice on a close look, but they looked pretty decent from afar. Quite a number of beastmen crowded around in the distance to look at them. A few females even braved the cold to come and have a look.

Parker felt a little embarrassed when he saw his snowman covered up with animal skin the way a female would. He took off the animal skin and tied it to the snowman’s waist. However, the snowman’s body was too fat and big that it was impossible to wrap around it with a single piece of animal skin. He could only cover up to half a circle at the bottom.

Seeing that, Winston also quietly took off the clothes from his snowman, wrapping it at the bottom. Only “Curtis”, who was in his semi-snake form with a big long tail behind him, had his body covered up by the animal skin coat. Both Parker and Winston had an unspoken agreement to not do anything to it.

At the very end, Bai Qingqing took out a basket and picked up the many smooth and study snow eggs, placing them into the basket. She then placed the basket next to Curtis’s snowman. “It’s a pity that I’m not skillful enough. Otherwise, I can make them look like how they would when breaking out from their shells… I really want to see the eggs hatching.”

Parker fell silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll go tell Curtis later to call you when they are almost hatching.”

“En, en.”

Winston was perplexed. Since Curtis was hatching eggs in the mountain, even if Parker was able to inform him, how would Curtis be able to inform Bai Qingqing when the baby snakes were breaking out from their shell?
