Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 610
Chapter 610: I’m Giving You One Last Chance
While Bai Qingqing was envious of Becky’s adorable tiger cubs, she wasn’t aware that she was the target of envy of many females.
Parker put their prey to roast, then carried her refined foods from home, before he finally had the time to sit down.
“Parker, I remember the wild grains can be harvested in three to four months, right? Is it too late for us to start planting now?” Bai Qingqing asked, “Did you see any suitable uncultivated land outside?”
Parker thought for a moment, then replied, “The light rainy season has passed. We’ve missed the best timing to grow wild grains. Moreover, in another three months, the heavy rainy season will have arrived…”
Bai Qingqing’s brows drooped in disappointment. “Forget about it, then.”
Parker’s heart ached to see this reaction. He hurriedly said, “I’ll go to the Flos Eriocauli field and scatter some wild grains. At most, I’ll just cover it with something when the rain comes.”
“Okay, just plant a few handfuls and keep a fresh seed,” said Bai Qingqing.
As all the males were exhausted from the physical labor today, after eating, they dispersed soon after.
The next morning.
The males began their busy day once more. Parker got up a little earlier than the rest and went to scatter the wheat before work commenced.
As the males put in the work day after day, they achieved speedy progress in the construction of the wall. After the empty plot of land at the Flos Eriocauli field was cordoned off, the wall was completed.
Having eaten horned melons for seven consecutive days, Molly finally reaped the result she had been waiting for—she went into heat.
As Alva moved the fastest, he was the first to return. Upon hearing his voice, Molly instantly ran over to him, dripping a few drops of blood that carried the fragrance of a female along the way.
“Alva!” Molly shouted at the peacock in the skies.
As bird beastmen had excellent vision, Alva caught sight of the blood on Molly’s legs at one glance. His eyes—which were round, to begin with—seemed to become even rounder. He slanted his wings and glided downwards.
Cuckoo— Alva sized her up.
Males felt an intense and primitive attraction towards females in heat. Though Alva had always known this, he still belittled this instinct.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he already set Bai Qingqing as his target, he might have been tempted to immediately launch an aggressive courtship.
Even then, he had an urge to roll about on the ground to release the energy in his body.
Strange. He had sniffed the scent before when Bella was in heat, but he didn’t feel the same uncontrollable excitement.
He figured it must be because this time he was too near to the female in heat.
Though extremely nervous, Molly maintained her proud attitude as a female. With her chin slightly raised, she said, “I’m in heat. Be my male.”
The peacock scratched on the ground, leaving behind his claw marks, his nervous heart thumping wildly.
Why don’t I just accept her? With Bai Qingqing’s mates being so strong, I probably don’t stand much chance, anyway. For Molly to be willing to take me in as her first mate, she must be very fond of me.
But then, he suddenly recalled seeing Molly and other males going around like a couple, and he felt displeasure well up in his heart. He had even seen two tiger beastmen dueling for her, and one of them had been abandoned by her.
To be abandoned was a male’s greatest fear. At the thought of that pitiful tiger beastman, the excitement in Alva’s heart was distinguished.
He transformed into a human and, with a calm face, said, “Not interested. You’d better find a fellow tiger beastman.”
Molly’s uneasy heart instantly sank to its depths, and tears rolled about in her eyes. But she forced them back.
She couldn’t let him think she liked him a lot; she mustn’t let him feel gleeful about it.
With a “Hmph,” Molly said in a stern voice, “Listen carefully. This is the last chance I’m giving you!”
Alva quietly gazed at her and didn’t reply for a good while. Molly stomped on the ground, then turned around and ran away.
Just then, the tiger beastmen returned to the village in packs.
