Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 501
Chapter 501: The Tiger King Has Come (1)
“What use does this have?” Bluepool was still baffled.
Bai Qingqing raised her elegant brows, saying confidently, “You’ll find out very soon. Be at ease as you go down and rest.”
Although Bluepool had no idea what this thing did, he was still very curious that it could move by itself. He wanted to continue asking when a deep tiger roar suddenly rang out from afar.
“Roar—”
Bluepool immediately became guarded, taking on a defensive stance. His hands turned into claws, and his fishtail tensed up.
Bai Qingqing also turned to take a look. The white snow caused her eyes to feel a little sore, so she could only vaguely see something moving at rapid speed.
It was after a while that she made out the figure of a tiger beastman.
The white tiger beastman dashed over, stepping on the accumulated snow. He moved so fast that almost no footprints were left on the snow. When he met the female’s gaze, he opened his mouth and let out another roar, his voice filled with agitation.
When the tiger beastmen in the vicinity heard him, all of them ran over.
“Winston?” Bai Qingqing took two steps forward uncontrollably, wearing a pleasantly surprised expression.
Parker’s tail tensed up while Curtis heaved a sigh of relief.
He could finally go into hibernation.
In just a few instants, the white tiger charged all the way to the waterhole without any obstructions, coming to a sudden halt right before he was about to knock into Bai Qingqing. His eyes were terrifyingly bright as if some kind of agitated energy was suppressed in them.
Bai Qingqing had been very happy at first, but after meeting his eyes, her joy turned into heartache.
Even after so long had passed, Winston had never stopped looking for her?
What made Bai Qingqing the happiest was also to get Winston to stop searching for her. While she was leading a leisurely life, she’d feel unsettled at the thought that in some corner of the world, someone was searching for her, feeling worried for her.
Winston looked at Bai Qingqing and circled her before the agitation in his eyes gradually became restrained.
Bluepool swung his fishtail as he assessed the tiger beastman on the shore.
“You guys know each other?”
This tiger beastman’s disposition was too strong. Even though Bluepool couldn’t see his animal stripes, he could sense that this beastman was very strong, definitely stronger than him!
Moreover, the tiger beastmen crowding around seemed to look up to him.
Bluepool’s voice livened up the atmosphere a little. Bai Qingqing smiled and said, “That’s right. He’s called Winston. He’s a very good friend of ours.”
“Friend?”
Bluepool clearly didn’t believe that. He didn’t believe that that was the relationship between the white tiger and Bai Qingqing, as well as the white tiger with Curtis and Parker. He looked toward Curtis and Parker doubtfully.
Winston also looked toward them. When he saw that there weren’t any animal stripes on Curtis’s face, his pupils contracted a little. He then looked toward Parker, and the muscles on both sides of his nose shook a little, his gaze turning ferocious.
The hair on Parker’s head and tail stood up, instantly looking as if he had been electrocuted by lightning.
Bai Qingqing found it strange when the white tiger suddenly pounced at Parker.
The pressure from someone strong caused Parker to turn into his beast form uncontrollably as he turned to run off. The white tiger immediately gave chase, and only several pieces of tattered animal skin were left on the ground.
Bai Qingqing walked over to Curtis, only now realizing that her toes felt very cold. When she kicked on the ice earlier, her boots had gotten wet, and water had seeped inside.
Moving her toes, Bai Qingqing asked worriedly, “What happened to them? Parker… Quickly go and stop them.”
Curtis recalled that Winston had been following Parker previously and understood what had possibly happened. He said, “It’s just a personal feud. Don’t worry, he won’t kill the leopard.”
Bai Qingqing was still worried, but Parker ran very quickly, and the two of them soon disappeared from their view.
Bai Qingqing felt as if her toes had frozen up, and she pulled Curtis to return to the tree hole.
