Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 597

Chapter 597: A Calm Heart-to-Heart Talk

Carl smiled and said with a fully at ease expression, “It’s fine. I might even be freer than others. Some females who aren’t willing to get more spouses but are looking for a new thrill will show affection towards me.”

“Ah?” Molly was stunned.

“But you’re the only one in my heart. I’ve never accepted any other female,” Carl instantly added.

Molly shook her head repeatedly. “You can accept them. Perhaps you will find a female who’s willing to let you join her family?”

The smile on Carl’s face toned down, and he asked with a serious countenance, “Are you willing?”

“What?”

“If I can only live like this in the future, I wish to join your family,” said Carl.

Molly choked, then after a momentary silence, said, “I don’t have any mates yet. I don’t want something like this.”

Although she had developed some fondness towards him, she couldn’t forget the fact that she was the one who made him lose his only chance to have a spouse. She couldn’t be so big-hearted as to let this person stay in her home.

“I can wait,” Carl said instantly, and his body subconsciously lurched forward.

Molly’s center of gravity shifted backward, and she looked out for other beastmen from her peripheral vision, prepared to scream out loud at any moment.

What she hated the most about Carl was his aggressive style of courtship, forcing himself on her. In fact, she wasn’t very surprised by their having sexual relations in the Flos Eriocauli field, for that was totally his style of doing things.

This was why she felt even angrier. She felt that if she didn’t teach him a lesson, he would think that he had a complete hold over her.

Using modern-day terminology, Carl was the hooligan of the beastman world.

Carl instantly sat upright. Just like the males in this world, he had a gorgeous face and deep eyes that did a perfect job of expressing his emotions.

Right now, there was sadness and restraint in the depths of his eyes as he said, “I can wait.”

He then seemingly hesitated a moment, before adding, “I heard from some males last night that you haven’t gone into heat, and that some males aren’t willing to pursue you anymore.”

Molly instantly froze and asked with disbelief, “Did they really say that?”

Carl said, “I don’t care. I don’t care if you can go into heat, and I don’t ask that you give birth to my cubs. The only thing I want is to be able to stay by your side.”

Molly gripped tightly the animal skin bag containing the horned melons, and the instant she blinked a large string of tears rolled down her cheeks.

After gazing at Carl for a moment, Molly got to her feet and ran back home without saying anything.

“You’re not to come after me!” Hearing the footstep sounds of the male behind her, Molly sobbed loudly in a heavily muffled sound without even turning her head.

[What’s the matter with Molly?]

A tiger beastman ran over upon hearing the commotion. As one of Molly’s most ardent admirers, he naturally felt a wariness upon seeing Carl, this ex-rival in love. This was why he kept an eye on them from time to time.

“Nothing, I made her mad again,” Carl said coldly, then left with an expressionless face.

As the male pitied Carl for having lost his only chance to have a spouse, he didn’t pursue the matter. Seeing that Molly had crawled into the tribal head’s tree hole, he didn’t dare intrude upon their territory, so he had no choice but to leave.

Bai Qingqing only woke up at noon, and by then, her head had turned numb from all that sleep.

“It’s so hot!” Bai Qingqing touched her neck and found her hands stained with sweat. She flipped around and leaned against Curtis, only then did she feel more comfortable.

Upon hearing her, Parker quickly crawled in from outside.

“Are you awake? It’s indeed hot here. Let’s go sleep on the top story tonight. It’s windy up there.”

“Ah? I think it’s too high.” Genuinely worried that she would fall down, Bai Qingqing asked, “Is it cooling on the fifth story?”

“It’s okay, I guess.” Parker picked up a rope made from animal skin and went behind Bai Qingqing and helped her comb her hair with his fingers. “What do you want to eat today? Fish?”

Bai Qingqing shook her head and said, “Let’s just eat stewed meat and fishballs. Let’s eat fish when Curtis wakes up. We’ll make sashimi.”
