Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 84: Parker’s Pursuer Comes Knocking on His Door

Bai Qingqing scratched some mud off her face and that patch of skin instantly felt refreshed. She said with a sigh, “Plastering mud on my face every day, will I be disfigured?”

Parker sniffed Bai Qingqing’s face. “The smell of the giant beast egg has become much fainter. Wash your face and I’ll sniff again.”

Bai Qingqing was happy to hear that. She quickly handed the roasted meat to Parker, then cleansed her face with water.

“How is it? Sniff it.” Bai Qingqing edged her face closer to Parker’s nose.

A sweet scent entered Parker’s nostrils, making his heart run wild. He stuck out his tongue and licked her face. “It’s sweet.”

Bai Qingqing glared at him.

It was only then that Parker replied to her seriously, “It’s very faint now. That horde of giant beasts are far away from us and won’t be able to detect this smell.”

“What about my hair?” Bai Qingqing touched her nylon, rope-like ponytail. The mud had dried and her bunched-up hair felt dry and tough.

“The scent lingering on your hair is the strongest. Better not risk it,” Parker said.

Bai Qingqing shrugged. “Then forget it. Safety matters most.”

Bai Qingqing carefully gazed at her skin. Thankfully, it was just slightly reddened and wasn’t damaged.

She took out her cosmetics and began dotting her face with black dots while Parker tore off the roasted meat and fed her slice by slice.

“Roar!”

The roars of tigers could be heard from outside, and a strong sense of provocation could be heard in them.

Bai Qingqing didn’t know what kind of beastmen made that sound, but she knew it was not a leopard. That roar was deeper and richer than the sound made by leopards, and more imposing.

Ignoring that, she finished dotting her face, then took the roasted meat from Parker’s hand and started chowing down.

When Parker heard the roars, his face turned green and his tail tensed up into a straight rod.

Bai Qingqing glanced at him and asked, “What kind of beastmen are they?”

Before Parker could answer, the voice of a woman could be heard outside. “Parker! I know you’re back. Come out!”

“You know them?” Bai Qingqing slowed down her chewing speed. “Your enemies?”

Parker jeered. “Just a bunch of rogues. I’ll go out for a minute, be right back.”

Parker then went out. Worried about him, now that her tummy didn’t hurt so much anymore Bai Qingqing put down her food and used water to clean the bloodstains off her skirt before going out as well.

A group of leopard beastmen had gathered at the stone castle’s entrance, staring warily at the tiger beastmen who came with malicious intent.

A young female was seated on the back of the largest tiger amongst them. She had a head of dense brownish-red short hair, big eyes, and thick lips, exuding a natural sexiness. However, the most attractive thing about her was her fair and flawless skin.

Although the leopard beastmen were guarded, they couldn’t help but sneak glances at her.

Seeing Parker come out, her gaze immediately fell upon him. She said with a smile, “Parker, you’re finally back. Have you decided to be my male?”

“Woah!” Bai Qingqing let out a gasp at the entrance of the stone castle, surprised that Parker was so popular with the females to have one chase him all the way to his home.

Parker said coldly, “Even if I remain a bachelor forever, I won’t be your male. Moreover, I already have a female.”

“Her?” The female tiger glanced at the foreign-looking female standing at the door, and her sexy lips curled up in a jeer. “Hur. Parker, you actually fell for such an ugly freak? And a filthy one at that. Are that lice I see on her hair? Smudged by so much mud.”

That rubbed Parker the wrong way. His gaze instantly turned ferocious. “Rosa! Never mind if you schemed against me. Don’t you bully her!”
