Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1244: A Lesson

If he hadn’t seen wrongly, that should be Curtis? Also, from the way he had his mouth opened, it seemed like he was threatening Parker?

Very quickly, Parker’s response gave Muir an affirmative reply. Exhaling murky air as he relaxed his fur, he furiously glared at the thing outside.

Although at that moment Parker’s response was embarrassing and disgraceful, his speed was extremely fast. Even if it were some other snake beastman, he would be able to avoid a fatal blow.

Now that Curtis successfully gave Parker a scare, and seeing that he still had the ability to protect Snow, he temporarily suppressed the rage of him bullying Snow while he wasn’t around.

Even though he had said he wouldn’t come, he still couldn’t bear to be apart from Snow. Even if it was just sleeping here, he felt worried. So, after the skies darkened, he still ultimately made his way up.

Unexpectedly, these two males had completely let down their guards. Hence, he simply laid down outside, wanting to see just when either of them would discover him.

Thankfully, Parker discovered him eventually. But the flame of fury in Curtis’s heart could not be extinguished, and that was what resulted in the scene witnessed by Muir.

Parker sneezed and glanced at Bai Qingqing. Seeing that her sleep was undisrupted by the noise, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“You said you wouldn’t come, but you still showed up. Don’t you find that embarrassing?” Unable to win Curtis in a physical brawl, Parker could only launch verbal attacks at him.

Curtis transformed into a human and walked into the tent. Parker’s anger subsided a fair bit by now. Although he was putting up a stubborn front, others could still tell.

At the thought of how it was a bottomless abyss out there, if Curtis suddenly swept him out with his tail, it wasn’t that he wouldn’t survive the fall, for he would be able to grab onto a tree branch. But it would be an exhausting climb back up.

He who understands the times is a wise man.

Parker wasn’t a leopard who would rather break than bend. Feeling that the situation was disadvantageous to him, he wisely avoided confrontation.

He squeezed his way into the nest and clung to his mate like an octopus. With his actions, it was as though he was saying: Go ahead and slap me with your tail. Sweep me out together with Qingqing if you dare.

Curtis, however, didn’t fuss over this. He merely said coldly, “Don’t tell Snow I came.” This was too damaging to his image of meaning what he said. To go back on his own words like this, even he himself didn’t like it.

Parker’s anger resurfaced. “I insist on telling her.”

Curtis shot him an icy look. “And then tell her you were so scared of me that your fur exploded?”

Parker choked, unable to rebut.

Curtis crouched down by Bai Qingqing’s other side but didn’t go into the blanket. The moment he closed his eyelids, he drifted off to sleep.

Winston was the only one in the family faithfully guarding by the castle and looking after the kids at home. One couldn’t help but wonder if he got lonely at night.

The next day, when the night first faded, Curtis was the first to open his eyes. He was greeted by the sight of his spouse’s tranquil, asleep face.

Ssss~

Curtis licked the tip of Bai Qingqing’s nose.

“Ooh~” Seemingly cold, Bai Qingqing mumbled as she squirmed into the blanket a bit deeper, the tip of her nose exposed to the outside.

Curtis smiled and got to his feet, before walking out with light footsteps.

Parker’s ears shook. Remembering that he was in a foreign environment, the moment he heard a noise he became alert.

Seeing that it was Curtis, he immediately relaxed, then flipped around and hugged Bai Qingqing before closing his eyes again.

The moment Curtis left, Bai Qingqing woke up. She opened her eyes looking sleepy.

Roar~~~~

Parker placed a paw on her nose, as though to say: “Go back to sleep.”

This, however, further awakened her. Sniffing soil from his paw, she finally recalled what place this was. She waved his paw away and asked, “Where did you go last night?”

Parker’s sleepiness dissipated instantly, and his ears pricked up energetically. With an innocent leopard face, he roared: [I didn’t go anywhere!]
