Beauty and the Beasts Chapter 129 – Provocation from a Rival in Love; Cortis Loses It

Seeing that Parker enjoyed it so much, Bai Qingqing picked up a prawn with her chopsticks and deliberately ate it without dipping it in the sauce.

Ooh… this is indeed very tasty. There was a mild sweetness to it. Perhaps it was because the water was unpolluted, for she had never tasted such fresh sea produce in the modern ages.

However, in terms of taste, this was a little lacking in flavor for a girl accustomed to heavy flavors.

Bai Qingqing picked up another prawn and dipped it in salt. This time, she was more satisfied with the taste. If there was soy sauce around, it would be better.

“If you like it, eat more,” Bai Qingqing happily said. She glanced into the bedroom. “Too bad Cortis is still sleeping. He might like this dish.”

Parker initially couldn’t bear to eat it. But upon hearing Bai Qingqing’s tone which suggested she was thinking of keeping it for the snake, he no longer stood on ceremony. “You eat first. After you’ve eaten your fill, leave the rest to me.”

Bai Qingqing smiled. During this time they were chatting, the aroma of rice was now wafting through the air. Bai Qingqing retrieved the bamboo rice and added several prawns and one fish onto her rice, then said to Parker, “That’s enough for me.”

Parker glanced at Bai Qingqing’s food, then moved half of the remaining fishes and prawns onto Bai Qingqing’s plate, before crouching at the door with his stone bowl and relishing in the food.

Bai Qingqing didn’t reject his gesture and merely shifted the excess food to one side. After she had eaten her fill, the remaining fishes and prawns entered Parker’s stomach.

…

Amidst the wind and rain, a tall and straight male walked to the door of the stone house.

“Qingqing, are you in?”

Bai Qingqing was sitting in Parker’s nest and weaving a bamboo basket. Upon hearing someone calling for her, she immediately walked out. Just as she got to the bedroom door, she suddenly recalled that she hadn’t dotted her face, so she halted in her footsteps.

The delighted Hugh could already see half of Bai Qingqing’s body. As he didn’t hear the sound of males in the house, he guessed they weren’t around, so he walked in.

“Aye aye aye, don’t come in.” Bai Qingqing hid at the bedroom door, covering her face with one hand and blocking him with the other hand.

Hugh stopped in his tracks, as he was told. He handed her a packaging wrapped in tree leaves with both hands. “I picked some fruit today and specially brought it for you. Fruits will rot during the rainy season, so there won’t be any more chance of eating fruits this year after this.”

Bai Qingqing stuck out half her head, revealing only her full forehead and a pair of large eyes as she looked up at him.

Hugh instantly flashed her a sunny smile.

His body was wet from the rain, and his muscles were glistening with a glow. His black and tough middle-length hair was wet from the rain as well, yet it didn’t stick to his head like other beastmen. His hairstyle didn’t look much different than he did on a sunny day. In fact, he looked even more handsome now.

Bai Qingqing, who wasn’t yet used to the fact that all the males were drop-dead gorgeous, couldn’t help but feel her heart race.

1“No, I don’t want it. Please stop giving me things. I will not accept you. Besides, if you continue acting like this, my mates will get jealous,” Bai Qingqing said.

Towards this wolf, she didn’t even wish to be friends with him. He was the son of the wolf king, which meant there was a good chance he was connected to the ape king. Before she had an understanding of the ape king, she didn’t dare to be friends with someone from the wolf tribe.

Hugh’s hands tightened around the package. Stubbornly, he continued holding it towards Bai Qingqing. “I want to treat you well. If you don’t want it, you can throw it away. But I’ll continue giving you things.”

Bai Qingqing was just feeling a headache when she suddenly felt a large and forceful hand gripping her shoulder. Immediately after, she was pulled into the bedroom. From her peripheral vision, she could see the black and red figure of a snake flashing by.

Bai Qingqing remained frozen to the spot. Cortis had woken up!

Based on her understanding of Cortis, with this level of provocation, Cortis would surely kill the guy.

She hurriedly dashed out and said loudly, “Don’t kill anyone!”
