Beauty and the Beasts

Rosa also very quickly noticed her existence. Bai Qingqing’s snow-white skin was very striking in a crowd. In fact, with so many males staring in her direction, it was hard for Rosa not to notice her.

Jealousy flashed in her eyes. She patted the tiger beneath her, and the tiger halted for a moment, then suddenly snapped out of his trance and reversed direction to walk in Bai Qingqing and her companions’ direction.

It was only for a fleeting moment, but the fact that her male was momentarily dazed didn’t escape Rosa’s acute senses.

As her entourage got closer and closer, Rosa understood why her male was dazed.

The female opposite her was way too beautiful, so beautiful that even as a fellow female, she couldn’t resist pausing for a moment. What followed was manic jealousy. She had always prided herself on her looks, but in the face of this female, she only wished to cover herself up.

Where were those freckles? Were they caused by the hot season? It was no wonder then that Parker refused to choose her and found such a wild female outside. So it turned out, she was defeated.

Seeing someone walk towards her, Bai Qingqing stopped. Her gaze fell upon… the yellow flowers on Rosa’s head.

Those yellow flowers were the size of a chicken’s egg and were tied to her short hair using a rope made out of animal skin. There was a seaside vacation feel to it. However, as the technique was terrible, coupled with the fact that Rosa’s hair was way too short, this hairstyle appeared rather messy. She really might as well do without it.

Moreover, it felt kind of weird. Wearing flowers on her head… was Rosa copying her?

Cough, it didn’t seem nice to make such speculations. Rosa was considered a great beauty in the City of Beastmen, why would she copy her?

Bai Qingqing shifted her gaze away in embarrassment.

Rosa was used to being arrogant, and it took no time for her to find back her confidence. She sized Bai Qingqing up and down carefully, then said sarcastically to Parker, “Seems like the female you fancy has yet to accept you. Are you hanging around her house and refusing to leave?”

Her words had struck a painful spot. Parker’s countenance was terrible. “None of your business.”

“This is really your style. Bai Qingqing, if I were you, I’d just ask that snake beastman to give him a good beating and make him go away. What an eyesore.” There was an unconcealable disdain in Rosa’s tone, as though Parker had really done something terrible to her.

Rosa understood a male’s temperament—once they made up their mind on a female, they wouldn’t change easily, and that was even more so after becoming mates. Even if the female ill-treated them, they wouldn’t have a single word of complaint.

Since she wasn’t able to obtain Parker, she didn’t wish for him to have a good life. Same went for Bai Qingqing.

She was bent on breaking up the two of them, so that Parker wouldn’t obtain the female of his dreams and that Bai Qingqing would lose a mate that would become powerful sooner or later.

Rosa was trampling on the pride of a beastman. Having been humiliated in front of his beloved, Parker’s eyes turned red. This was the first time he felt an urge to slap a female to death, to scratch this repulsive mouth that spoke incessantly.

Parker clenched his fists by his sides, making cracking sounds. Behind Rosa, her males were gearing themselves up for a fight, letting out low growls. Only one white tiger remained standing quietly and not moving, staring dazedly at the female with snow-white skin.

Because of the four animal stripes on Cortis’s face, Rosa’s mates didn’t dare move forward recklessly. This was despite the fact that Cortis merely stood by and watched coldly and didn’t show any reaction.

Bai Qingqing was so furious she gritted her teeth tightly. She cast a worried glance at Parker, then grabbed his forearm and shook it. She could feel that the forearm underneath her palms was hard as a rock, filled with energy.

Parker was still glaring at Rosa. He could feel Bai Qingqing’s touch, but he suddenly didn’t have the courage to look at her.

Because deep in his heart, he agreed with certain things Rosa said. He was indeed… pestering Qingqing and refusing to leave.
