Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 422

Chapter 422: Fascinating Bubbles

Leopards weren’t accustomed to battles in water, and merfolks weren’t able to fight well in the narrow river either. Therefore, both beastmen were on par with each other.

Hearing Bai Qingqing’s cry, Parker’s heart was in so much pain it was as if it had been pierced by needles. He couldn’t be bothered with the fighting and turned to give chase.

Bluepool let out a “tsk” sound, and his lips curled up. His fishtail waved rapidly, and he quickly threw the leopard, who had set off first, far behind him.

He admitted that leopards were fast, but in the water, the merfolks were the dominators.

Leopards had four long legs, but no matter how fast they moved in the water, it was useless.

Bai Qingqing put her face against the bubble. When she saw the blue figure in front of her, she quickly shrank back. She was then flipped backward by the turning bubble, falling against the bottom of the bubble, having her children smash her in the face.

“Meow—”

The leopard cubs still had no idea what was going on. Third, who was on Bai Qingqing’s face, had his eyes wide open, looking around.

If it wasn’t because their mother was looking so anxious, they’d probably be enjoying themselves.

After an even more intense wave, Bai Qingqing felt that the bubble had become a lot more stable, then looked around. This was bad. They had drifted into the sea.

“Howl! Howl!” The leopard kept on bellowing hysterically. His entire body was submerged in water, leaving only a small head on the surface.

Parker’s heart was torn as he watched his mate leaving him and drifting into the sea. The blood veins on his eyes popped up, making him appear very terrifying.

Bluepool hugged onto the bubble, turned back, and threw a challenging glance at the leopard. He then brought the female along with him and sunk into the sea.

Parker gave chase into the sea, diving in as well.

The sea’s surface appeared as calm as it usually was for a moment.

After a while, a leopard head popped up from the sea’s surface with his mouth wide open as he gasped for air. After two seconds, he dived in again.

Qingqing! Don’t leave me again. I can’t stand it.

Parker howled in his heart.

He was already terrified to have experienced losing her once. Unable to see Bai Qingqing, the despair in his heart was like the seawater that encased his body, not leaving him a hint of room to breathe.

Bai Qingqing held onto the children and moved to the spot furthest away from the figure. She then tried hard to tear at the bubble with all her might.

She had no idea what this bubble was. It felt smooth like glass but was tough like cowhide. Even though it was filled with air inside, it still sank into the water easily.

Bluepool turned to look at the surface of the sea, spewing out bubbles as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

“Gurgle o—O—o—”

“Jean, what are you doing? I’m already a three-striped fish. My bubble is very sturdy and won’t break easily. Don’t worry.” Bluepool thought that the female was doubting his ability and immediately said proudly.

He already earned the right to mate with her. After having saved her today, she must feel that he was amazing.

She might even… lay his fish eggs this year.

At this thought, Bluepool smiled a little foolishly.

Merfolks had extremely nice-sounding voices, and they were clear and pleasant even in the water. Bai Qingqing’s attention was immediately drawn over, turning her head to take a look.

In that instant, Bai Qingqing froze. She even forgot where she was at.

The face in front of her was extremely beautiful, breathtakingly so.

His features were so perfect that it seemed as if they had been carefully calculated before they were carved out. The shape of his eyes was a little less sharp than eagle beastmen and a little less coquettish than peacock beastmen. They hovered between the two, looking both dangerous and charming.

It was as if his eyes had the magical powers to draw one’s soul away, making one want to get close to him uncontrollably.

Bluepool smiled shyly. The female was looking at him. She was in a daze looking at him.

“We’ll be arriving at the merfolk tribe very soon. I’ll go and inform everyone right away.” Bluepool’s lips curled up.
