Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 434

Chapter 434: Meeting Up

On the blue ocean, there was a small green island on the surface, looking so insignificant like a small boat on the massive sea.

A young lady in a white dress sat by the island. Under the bright sunlight, her fair skin appeared even more fair and flawless. Her feet were dipped in the water, swinging about. She would occasionally look out toward the sea, wearing an anxious expression.

The three leopard cubs ran and played around behind her happily. They’d roll around, dig the ground, jump up to catch flies, or perform somersaults like acrobats.

Finally, a peacock flew over.

Many human heads immediately popped up from the sea, looking over warily. The mermen who had remained hidden on the island also got closer to the young lady.

Bai Qingqing’s eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up. As expected, she saw a leopard head on the surface of the sea.

“Parker!” Bai Qingqing put her hands around her mouth and shouted.

When Parker heard her call, he swam even faster. Having brought Parker here, Bluepool also accelerated, arriving before Bai Qingqing one step before him.

“I’ve brought him.” Bluepool lay down on the sand by her feet, wearing an expression as if he was asking to be praised.

Bai Qingqing didn’t look at him, but looked toward the sea and said, “Thank you.”

Bluepool pouted, slapping his tail on the shallow waters, attempting to use sounds to get the female’s attention. However, it seemed completely useless.

Just as Parker was about to arrive, he turned into his human form in the water. The moment he reached the shore, he pulled Bai Qingqing and headed toward the depths of the island.

“Parker.”

“I have something to say.”

Both of them spoke up at the same time.

The mermen on guard in the surroundings immediately bared their teeth, revealing ferocious expressions and blocking their way. Bluepool also instantly became wary, turned into his human form, and got up to the shore.

“Growl!” Parker didn’t cower. He charged up to the mermen in front and let out a low warning growl. He then glanced at Bluepool.

Bai Qingqing patted Parker’s arm to console him, gesturing for him to stay calm. She then said to the mermen, “We’ll just be talking under the shade of the trees. It’s too sunny outside. My skin is painful from the scorching sun.”

The mermen’s hearts immediately ached for her, and their attitudes softened.

Bluepool said, “Then quickly go over.”

Bai Qingqing grinned, then pulled Parker and ran over to the trees.

Alva had arrived at the island earlier than Parker did, but Bluepool didn’t allow him to get close. He was a bird. If he were to get close to Bai Qingqing, he’d have a chance to snatch her away.

To be honest, Alva didn’t dare to let Bai Qingqing see his beast form, either. He paced about nearby, then turned into his human form and soaked himself in the water.

Bai Qingqing and Parker walked up to a big tree, and the three leopard cubs followed them. They first looked at their father before they continued playing by themselves.

“You said that you have something to tell me? What is it?” Bai Qingqing asked. Looking at his expression, she reckoned that it wasn’t anything good.

Parker took a look at the mermen in the surroundings, then spoke softly by Bai Qingqing’s ear, “I heard from the peacock tribe that Jean and the ape king are coming.”

“What?”

She was so shocked that her voice went a few pitches higher. Under the mermen’s inquiring gazes, she quickly adjusted her expression.

Bluepool walked over while asking, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing. Don’t come over. It isn’t easy for me to get to see Parker. I want to have a private talk with him.” Bai Qingqing imitated the willful females’ way of speaking.

Bluepool felt a little pitiful toward Parker and agreed reluctantly. He also got the mermen to move a little further away. However, they became stricter with their watch on Alva.

The mermen’s hearing was mediocre. Bai Qingqing and Parker intentionally lowered their voices and thus, they couldn’t hear anything.

“Why have they come? Are they here to kill me?” Bai Qingqing’s face turned ghastly pale. She then quickly realized something, and her face turned a shade paler.
