Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 73: The Little Match Between the Eagle and the Leopard

Moore was still crouching in a corner. He opened his grey-colored eyelids and glanced at Parker, before standing up and shaking his wings.

Parker exploded in anger. He shifted his body and slowly removed Bai Qingqing from his body.

How dare he sleep in the place where they were sleeping! Moore was blatantly challenging him! Bite him to death!

“Mm—” Bai Qingqing gently moaned as she rubbed her eyes and sat upright. “Ah, morning has come.”

“Howl—” Parker roared as he pounced on Moore. The next second, with a growl, he was sent flying out of the shed.

Bai Qingqing froze.

Moore dusted his left wing and looked perfectly calm as though nothing had happened.

Bai Qingqing, who thought Moore had beaten Parker up, quickly stood up and blocked in front of Moore. “Why did you two fight?”

Outside, Parker let out a low growl, and the indistinct sounds of his claws digging into the ground could be heard.

Moore’s black beak opened, then tightly closed again.

Parker transformed into a human and pulled Bai Qingqing behind him in one swoop. “How dare he sleep next to you when I wasn’t watching. It’s too despicable of him. I can sleep with you because I’m your future male. What right has he to enter?”

“Ah?” Bai Qingqing scratched her messy head of hair. “Err… Parker, I was the one who asked him to come in.”

Parker’s body violently trembled, feeling like he had been struck by lightning. He stared at Bai Qingqing, dumbfounded. “Are… are you going to become mates with him?”

At the last word, Parker sounded like he was about to cry.

When Bai Qingqing heard Parker’s words, she didn’t dare turn around to look at Moore. She quickly explained, “No, that’s not it. There aren’t other sheds to sleep in around here. I was worried he might catch a cold and fall sick. We’re just sleeping, anyway. Furthermore, we’re so far apart and didn’t even touch each other.”

Ah, although this primitive society was bold and unrestrained, they were more conservative than even the feudal ancient times in some aspects.

Parker’s expression turned sunny again. He looked past Bai Qingqing and gazed at Moore, gloating. “Did you hear that? Qingqing isn’t thinking of making you her mate. She’s just young and doesn’t know better.”

Moore transformed into his human form and said blandly, “I know.”

Although he was answering Parker’s question, Moore had specially transformed forms to make things clear to make Bai Qingqing feel assured.

Parker pressed Bai Qingqing’s face towards his chest and revealed his teeth ferociously at Moore. “Don’t transform for no good reason.”

Moore coldly ignored him and strode out of the stone shed in those long legs of his.

Although seething with anger, the only thing Parker could do was glare at him because he was no match for the eagle.

“Pa!”

Bai Qingqing smacked her palm on Parker’s forehead, making muffled sounds in his chest. “Let go of me, you’re hurting my nose.”

Parker quickly let go of her, bent over, carefully examined her nose, then blew air on it with a pained expression. “Did I knock into your nose? Sorry, I was too agitated just now. Does it hurt very much?”

Bai Qingqing felt Parker was so mushy that goosebumps rose all over her body. She rubbed her nose and moved several steps away from him. “Not very much, but quite a bit.”

Moore was standing by the cliff looking down at the horde of giant beasts below. Bai Qingqing shouted to him, “Moore, I thought of a solution to avoid from the giant beasts. Tell me if you think it’ll work.”

“Mm?” Moore turned around to face her.

When Parker saw Moore revealing his reproductive organ—which was bigger than his—he started to become maniacal. Thankfully Qingqing wasn’t looking at that part, which made him feel slightly relieved.

Back then Qingqing had secretly peeked at his several times. He was merely young for now, one day his would become larger than this black eagle’s.

Bai Qingqing said, “Cover my body with mud, then leave a lock of hair here. Perhaps they’ll think I’ve been staying here, and we can take the chance to leave.”

Moore’s eyes lit up. “Worth a shot.”
