Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 607: I Don’t Like Bai Qingqing

Looking at this rare scene of an abundance of females compared to males, Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but think of Molly, who was desperate for a mate.

This lass was indeed unlucky! During this one year where she just came of age, the young males were deployed outside every so often.

Bai Qingqing found Molly next to the waterhole. She squatted next to her and asked her softly, “Molly, it’s been a day since you ate the horned melons. Did you go into heat?”

Molly removed the bag of horned melons hanging from her waist and toyed with it. “No.”

Bai Qingqing, who had been secretly dying to try them, commented, “Perhaps it doesn’t work.”

“Impossible!” Molly said, “Go ask the females in the village. Everyone knows the aphrodisiac effects of horned melons are excellent.”

As she spoke, she whipped out a horned melon. “Yesterday, shortly after eating one, my stomach started heating up. It does work.”

Bai Qingqing’s brows drooped in disappointment.

Molly smashed the horned melon and peeled out a white and succulent fruit from within.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she was pregnant and feared that it would affect the baby’s development, Bai Qingqing would definitely have tried one. It didn’t matter even if she were to go into heat. If she didn’t at least try once, she would always be thinking about it!

“So long as it works. After I go into heat, I’ll go and look for Alva. If he doesn’t agree, I’ll look for someone else,” Molly said calmly.

Bai Qingqing was impressed by her carefree attitude.

...

Even Parker took part in the construction this time. Many mountains on this land were made of stone. With their incredible strength, the males removed the rocks from the mountains and transported them to the spot where the wall was to be built.

Looking over, one could see several small hills with plants on top of them moving. It was only when one zoomed-in that they were able to see the tiny-as-ants beastmen underneath, dragging their heavy footsteps as they edged forward.

One rock constituted one wall, and the height was above ten meters. Together, the rocks would form the basic structure of the city wall.

It could be said that the beastmen were demolishing a mountain to build a city.

Parker hammered his fist on the stone mountain, and with a bang, a rock collapsed. Parker raised his hand to lift the rock and tossed it away. Then, looking over to the side, he let out a disgruntled sneeze.

Too small again.

“Hey! New guy, come over to this mountain. The rocks over here are bigger.” A strong and muscular beastman called out to him.

Parker walked over. Seeing that part of his left ear was missing, he said in passing, “Ah, it’s you. My female’s mentioned you to me before.”

The male’s countenance changed. “Although Bai Qingqing is very pretty, I’m already in love with another female.”

Thinking that the leopard beastman was under Bai Qingqing’s orders to take him in as her mate, he firmly refused before Parker even finished speaking. Also, he was impressed by this leopard beastman’s magnanimousness.

Such situations weren’t uncommon in the village. But not many could say it to a rival in love with nary a change in expression.

Bai Qingqing must have fallen in love with him when he spoke with her the last time.

What to do? Molly was the one he liked! If Bai Qingqing really liked him much and sent her mates to duel with him, if he failed to defeat them, he could only consent to become her spouse.

The tiger king was so powerful, and none of his mother’s mates was his match!

This tiger beastman fell into an unprecedented crisis.

The veins on Parker’s temples throbbed, and he nearly threw a punch at the beastman’s face.

He was merely chatting, but now, Parker felt the need to explain things clearly. With a cold and tense face, he said, “Qingqing only told me that Molly is thinking of accepting you. I’m merely informing you out of kindness.”

The tiger beastman froze, then erupted with joy. “Really? Does Molly really think that way?”

Parker couldn’t be bothered with him.
