Beauty and the Beasts Chapter 580 – The Village Expanded to Double Its Original Size

“I didn’t know.” Bai Qingqing asked, “Why not?”

The redness at the tip of his ears spread to his face. Thankfully, Parker’s skin wasn’t fair, and the faint redness wasn’t obvious.

“You simply shouldn’t.” Parker immediately changed the topic. “Weren’t you going down? Come onto my back.”

With that, he put on a skirt lying by the side.

The two of them went down the tree. All the tiger beastmen in the village had come out, and all of them were staring in the same direction.

Gah—

A glamorous peacock flew over first. Behind him, fifty muscular tiger beastmen and females seated on the backs of half of them could be seen. Apart from that, there were also seven to eight males of other species.

They were the spouses or admirers of the newly arrived females.

For the exchange this time around, Winston had sent out Alva. With his help, the tiger beastmen had greater ease of finding a village, and they were also able to choose to negotiate with one that had more females. Hence, they managed to exchange for so many females this time around.

Because they had too many females with them, the tiger beastmen didn’t dare to slacken on the road back. Only when they returned to their village did they shout maniacally with no qualms.

“Wah! So many females!”

Even Bai Qingqing was shocked by this sight. She pulled Parker’s hand and said, “Our village only had twenty plus females initially. Our village has expanded to double its original size, hasn’t it?”

“Yup, that’s right. But the prerequisite is that we must be able to hang onto them.” Parker’s brows were slightly furrowed, unlike the tiger beastmen blindly cheering with joy.

Born in a large settlement, he had seen a great deal and was more knowledgeable than the average beastman. He knew very well that if the males in a village weren’t powerful enough, no matter how many females they had, they wouldn’t be able to hang onto them.

For Winston to dare to buy females at this scale, he was basing it on his capabilities as a four-striped beastman, and also considering that Curtis was holding down the fort here.

But even then, their village would still become the target of some feral beasts. They had to be more alert over this period.

Parker held Bai Qingqing’s body to prevent others from bumping into her. Catching a glimpse of Winston from his peripheral vision, he looked towards him.

Winston walked forward, and the crowd instantly cleared out a path for him.

Roar—

The tiger beastman leading the pack ran over to Winston high-spiritedly and bowed as a show of submission.

Winston raised a hand and touched his head, only then did the tiger beastman straighten his body.

“Well done,” praised Winston.

Bai Qingqing found this scene vaguely familiar. She suddenly recalled that this was the same scene she witnessed when she first saw him.

Except now, Winston was at a higher status, at the position where the ape king used to stand back then.

Winston roughly swept his gaze over those twenty over females, then said to the tribal head, “Prepare the banquet.”

“Yes!” Glowing with radiance, the tribal head instantly replied.

Winston then washed his hands off those matters and strode towards her.

“It’s crowded outside. You should go back and rest,” Winston said gently.

Bai Qingqing said, “I came out to watch the fun.”

The three of them walked back alongside each other, and Bai Qingqing said, “There are so many females here. Seems like every male in the village will get a mate!”

“Not necessarily.” Winston said calmly, “Very soon young males from the nearby small villages will join in, and when that happens, the most powerful beastmen will still be the ones that emerge victoriously.”

As they spoke, the three of them reached their tree. Parker’s nose twitched, and an irritated expression instantly appeared on his face.

“Back so fast.”

“What?” Bai Qingqing asked, perplexed. She was about to ask further questions when her ears captured that familiar “Ssss” sound.

“Curtis?”

Bai Qingqing’s question was answered by the snake tail lowered from the entrance of the tree hole. She quickly went to hug it in delight.

The snake tail curled and brought her up into the tree hole.

“You’re finally back… ooh!” Before Bai Qingqing finished her sentence, an icy embrace plastered onto her face.
