Beauty and the Beasts

Curtis took out the towel from the light red stone basin and twisted it. He wiped away the blood that had just dripped down, then got up and found her animal skin clothes of appropriate thickness.

“Thanks.” Bai Qingqing took the clothes from him and quickly put them on.

This clothing made out of animal skin was a little similar to the modern articles of clothing—long-sleeved shirt and long pants. However, there were no buttons, and the shirt was held together using a rope made out of animal skin. As for the pants, there were two strips of animal skin at the waist area, so one could simply tie the two strips together to hold the pants in place after putting it on.

Bai Qingqing put on the clothes and hesitated for a good while after staring at the pants. She ultimately decided to give up. “It’d be difficult to wash if it gets dirty. I’ll just wrap a piece of animal skin around my lower body.”

“Mm.” Curtis placed the pants back into the wooden case and went out with the bloody water. A moment later, he came back with a basin of clear water.

Curtis kept close to Bai Qingqing’s side and remained on standby throughout. The minute she started bleeding, he would help her wipe the blood away before changing to a fresh basin of water, and he would do so repeatedly.

Bai Qingqing held a blade of dry grass in her mouth, chewed on it, then vigorously bit it in two pieces. Throwing caution to the wind, she said, “Curtis, after this ends, I can accept you.”

Curtis’s body trembled violently as he stared at Bai Qingqing in shock.

Bai Qingqing lowered her head shyly right after she spoke. She didn’t hear a response from Curtis after a long time, so she looked up at him. “Curtis?”

“What did you just say?” Curtis snapped out of his trance and mocked himself for going crazy from dreaming about Xiao Bai’s response, such that he was having hallucinations in broad daylight. He scrubbed the towel and said after twisting it, “I didn’t hear you clearly just now.”

Bai Qingqing’s face flushed even harder. Gaze evading, she murmured incoherently, “After my period ends, I accept you…”

With a splashing sound, the towel in Curtis’s hand fell into the water basin, water splattered onto his face, and water droplets hung from his red eyelashes. He gently moved his eyelids, and the water droplets rolled down.

The awfully bashful Bai Qingqing only sensed Curtis’s abnormal behavior now. Surprised he was reacting this way, she smiled with her lips pursed and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Gazing at the beautiful female before him, Curtis’s heart beat furiously. He could feel hot blood coursing through his veins. Curtis was certain his body temperature had never been so high before. He had also never felt so stumped, so happy, so ecstatic before.

Curtis didn’t know how to express his excitement. He held Bai Qingqing tightly in his arms, exerting such a great strength as though he was trying to press her into his blood and bones.

As a snake beastman, to be accepted by a female out of her own free will, Curtis felt that he must be the luckiest in his tribe.

Emotions were infectious. Even though Curtis was extremely violent, Bai Qingqing could sense that he was at a loss for what to do. She gave herself a boost, before raising her neck and responded with a small gesture.

Caught off-guard, Bai Qingqing’s heart rate also became messed up.

Their hearts were throbbing, the way people did in their first loves, where just a small action would result in excitement, nervousness, joy, and unease.

Bai Qingqing responded in a very subtle way, so ordinary people might not even sense that. But Curtis suddenly became even more fanatical now. Even if he was to die right away, he would be a willing soul!

“I feel like I’m dreaming.” Curtis hugged her and leaned his forehead against hers, gazing deeply into Bai Qingqing’s eyes.

Looking at him so up close, Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but blink her eyes. With a flushed face, her lips parted, but no words came out. Though, there was plenty running through her heart and mind right now.

Bai Qingqing sighed with emotion. The males here are so easy to coax!
