Beauty and the Beasts Chapter 189 – Defeating Shuu

“You’ve eaten?”

“En.” Bai Qingqing walked over, sat down next to Curtis, picked up the bamboo basket at the side, took a look, and asked, “What do you think of this size? How long can a snake baby sleep inside for?”

This bamboo basket had a diameter of close to one meter and wasn’t much different from a winnowing basket. The bamboo strips on the borders were loose and could be given the finishing touch at any moment.

Curtis didn’t look at the bamboo basket but turned his gaze onto Bai Qingqing, saying in a gentle voice, “It’ll be fine if it’s enough to store eggs. Snake beastmen grow very fast after breaking out from their shells.”

“I see!” Bai Qingqing imagined a scene of the entire house filled with miniature Curtises and shivered. The house was really going to be turned into a snake den.

Bai Qingqing’s imagination ran wild as she started to give the bamboo basket its finishing touches. After spending over an hour, she finally completed the nest for the snake babies.

Food for the afternoon was hunted by Winston. There was another round of snatching during the meal, and even Bai Qingqing was made to eat a lot more than usual.

Three days passed by like that. Parker’s injuries recovered completely and Winston left.

Winston was a beastman of few words. However, after he left, the place seemed a lot quieter.

Bai Qingqing’s stomach had bulged up a little, and it became even more obvious when she was seated. Parker put his hand into Bai Qingqing’s clothes, touching her stomach gently. Suddenly, his other hand started to take off his skirt.

Bai Qingqing quickly tightened her grasp on her clothes and took out Parker’s hand that was in her clothes. “What are you thinking of doing?”

“I’m going out to hunt.” Parker stretched out comfortably, and various parts of his body started to release cracking sounds. “I haven’t hunted for three days. Even my bones are starting to feel stiff.”

“It’s too early. I still have a lot of food. Wait a little more before going out.” Bai Qingqing picked up the skirt that Parker casually tossed to the side and patted off the dust on it.

Parker smiled. “I’ll take a walk around and see if I can find wild fruits and the grass that you like to eat.”

“That’s called spinach.” Bai Qingqing corrected him. She knew that Parker wanted to go out to play and there was no stopping him. She instructed. “Then you must be careful and don’t get into a fight.”

Parker had both hands and feet on the ground while concurrently transformed into his leopard form. He then controlled his strength and licked Bai Qingqing on the face before running out.

It was drizzling outside, bearing an astonishing similarity to the day he had been surrounded and attacked.

Parker’s fur was moistened by the rain, and as he moved, his fur appeared to glisten. The moment he got out of the city, he searched for the scent of a wolf beastman. He didn’t find Bart, but instead, chanced upon Shuu in his human form.

Shuu was holding onto an animal skin bag. When he saw Parker, his eyes lit up and he came over in big strides. “I’ve finally met you. Let’s fight, then help me bring these foods to Qingqing.”

“Roar!” Parker replied Shuu with an enraged roar while continuing to let out low growls from his throat.

Shuu immediately sensed the pressure coming from someone strong and immediately took two steps back. “You…”

Parker bared his fangs and pounced at Shuu. Shuu tossed the animal skin bag aside and transformed into his wolf form. Then, kicking out with his hind legs, he also pounced toward the leopard.

With a “bang”, the black wolf fell to the ground the instant they collided. The leopard landed steadily on the ground with his four limbs.

Shuu’s eyes were filled with astonishment and terror. He lay on the ground and kept on backing off.

“Roar—” Parker raised up one front leg to take a look. He found it a little boring when his target was defeated so easily.

Seeing that Shuu had no intention to continue with the fight, Parker walked up to the animal skin bag, tore off the skin, and a few plant tubers covered in soil and the size of a fist rolled out.

This was something that ape tribe females liked to eat as well?

Parker sniffed at it, secretly remembering the scent. Then, he let out a snort toward Shuu and left.
