âTheyâre but a group of weaklings whom the females despise.â
There was disdain in Parkerâs tone. âIf theyâre capable, they wouldnât have been abandoned by the females in the first place.â
Winstonâs mouth twitched, looking grotesque with the scar on his face. âYouâre belittling the enemy. Nothing is holding them back; they have no will to live, and they fear nothing. They have violent temperaments, and the speed at which their abilities are enhanced is beyond an ordinary beastmanâs imagination.
âTheyâre much scarier than feral beasts.â Worry clouded Winstonâs tiger eyes as he gazed at Bai Qingqing.
At the thought of those males who abducted Becky, Bai Qingqing didnât at all doubt Winstonâs words. âTheyâre very scary indeed.â
Parker also fell into deep thought.
He had heard that the male whom Beckyâs mother abandoned only had one animal stripe back then, but a few years later, his number of stripes increased to three.
What was it that made them advance at such incredible speed? How enviable.
âWhatâs going to happen if a three-striped beastman enters the city?â asked Parker enthusiastically. âWill he level up to a four-striped beastman a few years later?â
The amused Bai Qingqing kicked Parker on his chest as she asked, âAre you going to leave me?â
âIâm merely asking in passing. I can also pretend I was abandoned.â Parker felt sad as he glanced over at Curtis; among the males in the family, he was forever the weakest. His previous suggestion for Bai Qingqing to choose that stripeless tiger beastman wasnât without reason.
He also wanted to find someone weaker than him so that there was someone he could bully! Now that Winston was here, it was no longer possible.
But it was worth it since Qingqing could have one less spouse.
Winston sputtered with laughter. âFeral beasts become powerful at a greater speed, and they also die faster. If youâre not afraid of death, you can go ahead and try.â
Capabilities were exchanged for using their lives.
Having lost interest, Parker pouted and said, âForget it, then.â
Meow~ Third nudged his head against Bai Qingqingâs chest. She knew right away that he was hungry. She looked towards Winston.
Winstonâs gaze fell upon the little cubs, his eyes turning warmer. âAre these the cubs you just gave birth to?â
âMm. Err...â Bai Qingqing asked in embarrassment, âCan you go upstairs to rest? Iâm going to feed my cubs. There are three stories upstairs. Youâre free to choose any of them.â
Winston went up as he was told right away.
Curtis brought over a stone bowl and covered her with a blanket. âGo ahead and squeeze it.â
It was an extremely painful thing to remove clothes during the cold season. It took Bai Qingqing quite some mental preparation before she summoned enough courage to take off her coat.
The trickling of milk could be heard coming from the blanket. As she squeezed, she asked, âNow that Winston is here, are you going into hibernation, Curtis?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMm.â
Bai Qingqing let out a sigh. âAlright.â
âDonât run out of the village when Iâm not around,â instructed Curtis.
âI know.â Bai Qingqing reassured him.
Never mind the fact that Curtis wouldnât be around; even if he were, she wouldnât want to roam about. She didnât want to invite new trouble with that face of hers, with the current mess unresolved.
Curtis relaxed, and fatigue started to set in uncontrollably. His blood-red eyes had turned misty.
âIâll be on the fifth story.â With that, he transformed into a snake against his will, and after one final look at Bai Qingqing, he slowly slithered upstairs.
Parker revealed a grin as he squirmed into the blanket. âLet me help you, Qingqing.â
Bai Qingqing reluctantly retracted her gaze from Curtis, before bestowing a word upon Parker.
âScram!â
The leopard cubs had entered and were making satisfied gulping sounds inside the blanket.
The tiger tribe fell into excitement due to the arrival of the beast king; even the tribal head had gone down the tree to look.
Winston jumped down from a height of more than ten meters and let out a deep tiger growl.
