Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1301: Returning to the Modern World

The trees in the forest were thin and the branches and leaves were sparse. There was a faint but lingering scent of petrol in the air.

A few young men’s merry voices filled up the place. Their conversation was all nonsense, but it made them laugh out loud.

Hanging on a tree branch, Bai Qingqing’s face was expressionless, and she pinched herself hard on her thigh.

“Ss~” It hurts!

Damn, what was going on?

Why did the trees become so small? Aren’t those people from the modern world? And wasn’t that girl wearing a white T-shirt her best friend Tang Li?

She could even see the expression and action of that Snoopy on her shirt clearly. Even if it was a dream, there was no way she’d dream of such clear details.

Could it be that she had transmigrated back? Or was it that she had never transmigrated from the very beginning?

Bai Qingqing was shocked. She lowered her head and looked at her clothes. The clothing was made from Curtis’s snakeskin. She then looked at her arm, her chest, and her ankle. Her mates’ spousal marks were still there.

It wasn’t a dream.

She had really transmigrated. But the terrifying thing was that she seemed to have transmigrated back.

Did the heavens suddenly notice her erroneous existence and correct things?

God! Do you have to toy around with me like this? You might as well kill me with a bolt of lightning! Huh?!

She had sneaked out with Parker to paint but had suddenly disappeared. Parker would probably be beaten to death by Curtis and the others, right?

Ahh! Her head was aching really badly! Bai Qingqing slapped herself on the forehead.

“Bai Qingqing! Where are you?”

Tang Li’s panicking voice reached Bai Qingqing’s ears. She quickly slid down the tree trunk and rapidly tied her hair, which reached down to her butt, into a bun. Before she had transmigrated, her hair wasn’t that long. She must hide it.

“I’m here!” Bai Qingqing quickly replied. Her mind was still in a mess.

Tang Li came searching for her upon hearing her voice. She was a slightly chubby girl with short bangs, which made her face even rounder. Her figure was also rounder, but she had developed very well. If she slimmed down, she would turn into a beauty.

When Tang Li saw the white-clothed girl sitting in a trench, she asked with uncertainty, “Is it really you?”

Bai Qingqing had lived in the beastmen world for five years. In other words, she was no longer a 16-year-old girl but a mature woman in her early twenties.

Thankfully, she had taken green crystals from the very beginning and her body had stayed in her youngest state.

Bai Qingqing touched her face hesitantly, then turned to face her. “It’s me.”

Looking at her good friend’s familiar face, Tang Li felt strangely unfamiliar. She frowned and asked, “Why have you changed your clothes?”

“Oh, I brought this clothing in my backpack. My period just came and stained my pants. I could only sneak over here and change into this dress.” Bai Qingqing gave the excuse she had thought up earlier.

Tang Li believed her, then looked around. “Where’s your bag?”

“Sigh, let’s not talk about it.” Bai Qingqing lowered her head, looking “dejected”. She pointed to a deep trench that one couldn’t see its bottom as there were too many plants around. “I accidentally dropped my bag there.”

“Huh?” Tang Li’s face fell.

Bai Qingqing climbed out of the trench, grabbed Tang Li’s hand, and said pleadingly, “Lend me some money to tide over the emergency. My phone and wallet have fallen in, too.”

She couldn’t go back like this. She had to take care of her hair and not let anyone notice her abnormality.

As for Curtis and the others…

Bai Qingqing clenched her fists. The spousal marks were still around, and she hoped that she could summon them over through them. It was just that… Parker and Winston were still four-striped beastmen and couldn’t use this ability yet.

“Alright, how much do you need?” Tang Li said generously, then rummaged through her bag.

When girls went out, they’d bring some pocket money along with them. When Bai Qingqing saw a red note in Tang Li’s wallet, she said, “One hundred.”
