Jean looked toward Bai Qingqing once again. Bai Qingqing had no idea if it was just her delusion, but she felt that the female opposite her seemed to have raised her chest a little more, and her attitude had become arrogant.
This was a common occurrence when a female felt pressure from the competition, but Bai Qingqing was used to not standing out and thus didnât know about this. She didnât understand that Jean was trying to compete against her.
âIâm the ape kingâs mate. The ape king did something wrong to you, and he has realized his mistake now. Can you forgive him?â Jean spoke with an arrogant attitude, yet her words were that of showing weakness.
Bai Qingqing smiled. âIf he can bring Shuu back to life, then Iâll forgive him.â
âYouâre asking for the impossible.â
Bai Qingqing felt that this person was really sharp. She recalled what Winston said about how this female would still have to continue living in the City of Beastmen and thus didnât wish to make their relationship too bad. She pursed her lips and didnât say anything.
âSo noisy!â
It was Curtisâs voice.

Bai Qingqing quickly walked toward him. When she passed by Jean, the latter suddenly reached out her hand.
âWhat are you doing?â Winston immediately dashed up, grabbing tightly onto Jeanâs skinny wrist.
Jean cried out in pain, âYouâre hurting me.â
Bai Qingqing also turned back to look at Jean.
âI only saw a strand of hair on your shoulder and wanted to remove it for you.â Jeanâs face wrinkled up, wearing an expression as if she was tolerating immense pain. She was holding onto a strand of dark-brown long hair in her hand.
Bai Qingqing knew how strong males were and quickly said to Winston, âQuickly let go of her.â
Winston threw a doubtful gaze toward Jean before letting her go. Jean grabbed onto her wrist that had turned red, her heart sinking.
Damn. It was another rough guy. There wasnât any point in having a male like him. Since when was she short of males?
Just then, Curtis entered the main hall, waving his tail.
Suddenly, Jean felt as if she was being stared by a wild beast. All the blood in her body froze up. If she had hair on her body, all of it would definitely stand up.
Jean looked up and her body stiffened up even more. She was dumbfounded.
God, it was him!

Curtis threw a casual glance toward Jean before grabbing Bai Qingqingâs hand and pulling her to his side.
âYouâre still not leaving?â
Curtis didnât look up, but Jean knew that he was talking to her. Her body felt as if it had been instantly defrosted. She grabbed onto the blue chiffon in her hand and turned to leave, appearing as if she was fleeing in defeat.
Bai Qingqing looked at Jeanâs back view. After she left, Bai Qingqing muttered, âSheâs really scared of you.â
âWerenât you asking how female merfolk look like?â Curtis said indifferently. âSheâs one.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Qingqingâs eyes were wide-open.
If Jean was a legendary mermaid, then sheâd be a little disillusioned.
Although Jean was beautiful, she wasnât breathtakingly so. At the very least, any male in the City of Beastmen wouldnât lose out to her. If Curtis was a woman, heâd be more beautiful than her.

She wondered how the merfolk tribeâs males looked like. When the females were already so beautiful, then their males should be even better looking!

âSo you know her. Why didnât you choose her as your mate?â Bai Qingqing asked, itching for some gossip, but feeling a little nervous as well. Seeing how scared Jean was of Curtis, it couldnât have been that he had bullied her before, right?
Curtisâs eyes spewed sparks of fury. âI donât like her.â
Bai Qingqing closed her eyes sulkily. She had absolute trust in Curtis and didnât care to lie.
He didnât like Jean, but liked her? Bai Qingqing couldnât hold back the joy in her heart and her face flushed up a little.
Curtis threw a glance at Bai Qingqing amidst his fury, and the anger in his heart gradually calmed down.
