Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 623

Chapter 623: Making Things Difficult for Curtis

Winston searched through roughly, then left the city to inform Alva. He then started to search through all the residences of the beastmen who lived in the top-level one by one.

Carl turned into his human form. His arm was in a bad state, so he grabbed a handful of scorching sand and rubbed it harshly into his wound.

“Roar!”

The man raised his head and let out a bellow that sounded like that from a wild beast, causing the muscles on his face to tremble intensely. When he recovered his coolness, his handsome face came back. However, the brutality in his gaze deepened.

Today wasn’t a day for duels, so the dueling ground was empty. There weren’t any defeated beastmen, and the scorpion beastmen guarding the grave pit looked leisurely as well.

The pit was situated in a secret place in the center of the Flame City. To beastmen who didn’t have sufficient capabilities, death and defeat in battle would be their only chance to enter.

Carl walked up to the grave pit, and the scorpion beastman on guard greeted him warmly.

“Who have you battled with again? You’ll have to be more careful now that you’re so badly injured,” a scorpion beastman said.

Carl’s face sank and didn’t reply to him. He walked to the pit, holding his broken arm with one hand, and jumped in.

The scorpion beastmen exchanged a glance, their gaze emitting baffled expressions. This place wasn’t good for one to recuperate and hide from enemies.

…

The walls around the tiger tribe’s village had been built. The village looked tranquil and peaceful.

A big family filled up an ordinary tree hole.

Curtis picked up the snakeskin and gestured about with it. The three leopard cubs were lying on the floor and snoring. Bai Qingqing sat at the tree hole’s entrance in a daze, with Parker holding onto one of her legs, giving off “Kacha Kacha” sounds as he bit off her nails.

Bai Qingqing stroked her increasingly bigger stomach, her brows furrowed tightly together. She massaged her temples and said, “It has been half a month, but there’s still no news of Molly! I’m so worried.”

She was saying this when her leg was suddenly raised too high. She let out a cry and quickly used her hands to support herself on the floor, avoiding intimate contact with it.

“Parker, what are you doing?” Bai Qingqing pressed down on the hems of her skirt and asked, stunned.

Curtis threw a glance toward them.

Parker quickly put down her leg and helped her to sit up. “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect you to flip over when I just raised your leg.”

Bai Qingqing stared at him. “Don’t bite anymore. I have nail clippers now. Help me to get it, I’ll trim my nails myself.”

Parker quickly grabbed onto her leg and continued biting. After two “Kachas”, he said, “You’re pregnant with a female baby. Don’t always fret about things. Be happier.”

Bai Qingqing exhaled and put up a fake smile, saying helplessly, “I can’t get myself to feel happy.”

Of all timing, Molly had to get into trouble when she was in heat. If… Bai Qingqing really didn’t dare to continue thinking about it.

“What will happen if Molly is pregnant with a rootless beast’s child? Is that possible?” Bai Qingqing asked.

Parker looked at her, then said, “I don’t know. I haven’t seen it before.”

“Sigh!”

Curtis threw another glance at them and then spoke up, “You’re done?”

Parker licked Bai Qingqing’s nails and felt that a part wasn’t smooth enough. He took another two bites before putting down her leg, feeling satisfied. “It should be alright now.”

Bai Qingqing wriggled her dampened toes, feeling like crying, but no tears came out.

However, to be honest, Parker did quite a good job. Her nails were smooth and neat, and it felt better than using a nail cutter.

Curtis stood up and curled her over with his tail. “You’ve gotten fatter again. I’ll redo the measurement.”

“Is that so?” Bai Qingqing touched her breasts. They were really fuller. She wasn’t certain if it was because of her pregnancy or if they had really grown.

Curtis put the snakeskin near her body, then asked, “What do you want to wear? A dress or a two-piece?”

Bai Qingqing felt angry when she looked at the snakeskin. She had made things difficult for Curtis in the clothes-making over the past few days, and it had already become a habit.
