Looking at her, Curtis felt a pang in his heart and embraced her. âIt seems that I can only let Parker go out to hunt in the future.â
Bai Qingqing didnât reply but looked in a daze at the female Parker had placed onto the floor. She covered her mouth from astonishment.
She was naked, and there wasnât a piece of her skin that was intact. It was all covered in bruises. What that was more terrifying was that the different parts of her body were covered in the bite marks of several beasts. They had even bitten through her skin.
She was like a tattered doll that had exchanged hands countless times.
Realizing that she was unable to break free, the female suddenly stopped moving. She curled up and trembled intensely.
Parker threw a glance at Bai Qingqing, then turned his head away and removed the vines binding her hands and legs. The skin around those areas was strangled so tightly that new wounds covered old ones. Purple strangled bruises had accumulated over time, looking very scary.
Bai Qingqing realized that she was wrong. If Curtis hadnât come, those males wouldnât have let them off.
It was seen as barbaric even in modern society to torture a female like this. In this world of beastmen where females were few in numbers, such acts were even viler.
âDonât be scared, itâs alright now.â
Bai Qingqing squatted down next to her and took her hand.
The femaleâs body shook intensely, and her frail-looking body suddenly let out an outburst of strength, pushing Bai Qingqing down.
âQingqing!â
Parker was enraged when he saw that she was pushed. He grabbed onto the femaleâs hands roughly, pressing her to the ground.
The female started screaming again as if she had lost her rationality. She kicked Parker incessantly.
Bai Qingqing sat on the ground and accidentally saw the part she shouldnât be looking at. The injury there was worse, so swollen that it was like a bun. There were also dried traces of blood.
It seemed that she had been violated not long ago.
Bai Qingqing got up, looked for a piece of animal skin, and covered her body. She then said to Parker, âLet her go. Sheâll be more agitated with you doing this.â
âHuh? Why?â He looked at her, baffled.
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes. You foolish leopard. Donât you think that your pose is very suggestive?
Parker listened to her and let go of the female, who rolled and crawled deeper into the cave. She didnât forget to cover her body with the clothing while doing this. She darted so deep inside that itâd be hard to see any traces of her if one didnât take a closer look.
âWhen males and females do that⦠mating, wonât there be spousal marks? Why doesnât she have any?â Bai Qingqing looked into the cave and asked. âIs it because they died? But if they were to do this, wouldnât they be scared that the female would remove the spousal mark?â
âThatâs simple. These males must have become mates with a female and had been abandoned before.â Parker suddenly came to a realization and took a quick whiff. His countenance changed. âSheâs⦠by those beastmenâ¦â
Bai Qingqing sighed and said, âThatâs right.â
âThey are really beasts!â Parker cursed softly.
As the smell of blood on the female was too strong and Parker hadnât expected that those males would do something so vile, he didnât notice the scent at the beginning.
He felt terrified. He couldnât imagine what would have happened to Bai Qingqing if she was captured by them.
Bai Qingqing couldnât believe what had taken place today.
This was the first time she had encountered absolute bad guys. The tiger beastmen who had assassinated her in the past had done that because of love, the eagle beastmen out of protection, and the merfolk out of revenge.
The five beastmen they had encountered today had done bad deeds without any reason. Was this what a group of villains was like?
âSigh. It seems that females canât easily cancel a spousal relationship.â Bai Qingqing lamented. âIf thereâs no abandonment, then there wonât be any crimes!â
Hearing that, Parker nodded vigorously in agreement. âThatâs right. You canât be bad like them.â
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes at him, speechless. She then thought about it for a while before speaking up.
