Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 429

Chapter 429: Comprehensive Search

“Of course.” Bluepool agreed without asking anything. “What favor? Tell me. You can leave it all to me.”

Bai Qingqing happily said, “Help me look for a snake.”

She then shifted her left leg, pointed to the snake print, and showed it to Bluepool. “He’s my mate. He seems to have fallen into the sea and is in the vicinity.”

Bluepool was unwilling. It was another one of Bai Qingqing’s mates.

“How many mates do you have on land?” Bluepool asked, jealous.

“Just two. Are you going to help or not? Just say it. If you don’t help me, then I’ll call King.” Bai Qingqing was just trying to bluff him. She wouldn’t dare to make this request to King.

Bluepool fell for the trick and quickly said, “Don’t! I’ll help. What does he look like? There are many snakes in the sea. How long is he? What color and what print?”

Bai Qingqing exhaled. This was easier than she imagined. This was great.

“Probably… as long as two caves, and this thick.” Bai Qingqing used her arms to gesture the thickness, then continued, “He has red eyes. When he’s in human form, he has red hair. Oh, right, he’s a four-striped beastman.”

“Four-striped beastman?” Bluepool’s tone was raised by a few pitches.

Their merfolk village only had one four-striped beastman, and it was said that there weren’t that many four-striped beastman on land either. To think that one of Bai Qingqing’s mates was a four-striped beastman.

“Shush, be softer.” Bai Qingqing slapped Bluepool’s arm lightly, releasing a crisp slapping sound.

She drew her hand back apologetically.

“I’m sorry.”

“It doesn’t hurt,” Bluepool said half-heartedly, feeling entangled.

What would happen if he found the snake beastman and the snake beastman wanted to snatch Bai Qingqing away? Would the leader be able to defeat him?

However, he soon thought that snake beastmen lived alone by themselves while they merfolks had the advantage of numbers. He then felt relieved.

“Alright. I’ll go right away.”

“Wait a minute.”

“Hmmm?” Bluepool turned to look toward Bai Qingqing, unintentionally displaying his perfect side face. He really did look as handsome as a god no matter which angle one looked from.

Bai Qingqing almost went into a daze once again. Merfolks were really too beautiful.

“After you find him, I’ll give you a surprise.” She could tell him of Jean’s whereabouts, then. As long as she could find Curtis, even if they were to be hunted down by the entire merfolk village, it’d be worth it.

After saying that, she raised the bowl and continued to drink the soup.

Bluepool asked happily, “Mate?”

“Pffft!” Bai Qingqing spurted out the soup in her mouth back into the bowl, then covered her mouth and coughed non-stop.

Bluepool walked over to pat her on the back. It was out of concern, but after a few pats, his attention was drawn away by the smooth skin under his hand.

The female’s skin was so smooth! It was smoother than cloth weaved from snow silk algae. Why hadn’t he heard anyone mentioning it before?

It must be those people who had mated intentionally hiding this! They must be scared that there’d be too much competition.

Bai Qingqing coughed for quite a while before she felt better. She then waved her hand in annoyance, saying, “That’s enough. You can go. You’ll find out, then.”

Bluepool smiled and dashed out of the barrier, swimming upwards.

Bai Qingqing had achieved her goal and now felt refreshed. She finished up the entire bowl of food.

The cubs could only smell and not eat the food, so they were all hungry. They crowded around her and meowed away.

“Be good, mommy will feed you right away,” Bai Qingqing said dotingly, carrying one with each hand. With her back facing the cave’s entrance, she pulled down her clothing.

…

Several tens of merfolks gathered around in the spacious deep sea.

Bluepool stood at the very front, saying to them, “Go find a snake beastman. Four-striped beastman. If there’s news, inform me immediately.”

As all the strong merfolks with mating rights had gone up to the shore, other than the leader, King, Bluepool was the next strongest. Therefore, he had the influence to control the entire village.

The others immediately scattered and started searching.
