Novel Full “You should go back too,” said the ape king.
With a long face, Rosa said furiously, “Winston is completely on her side now. Will you help me or not?”
The ape king sighed and shook his head. “I have close ties with your father and your males, of course I will side with you. It’s okay for you to pull pranks on her, but don’t hurt her. She is very fertile.”
Rosa’s expression turned sunny. She said with disdain, “It’s only a nest of snake eggs.”
“I can feel that.” The ape king looked confident. “Just wait and see. She’ll definitely be able to give birth again next year. Hopefully, it’s leopards this time.”
Rosa’s face dimmed instantly. “Who knows.” With that, she stormed out of the place.
With his back facing the door, the benevolence on the ape king’s face vanished, his thin lips now arched into a cold smile. “Foolish.”
The ape king walked back to his bedroom in a jovial mood. He had just pushed open the door when the voice of a female rang in the house. “I want a green crystal. When are you going to give me a green crystal?”
“Soon. After I gain control of the City of Beastmen and amass sufficient transparent crystals, I will surely be able to level up to a three-striped beastman.” The ape king’s voice no longer appeared as authoritative as he did in the presence of others. Rather, he sounded meek and subservient. “When the time comes, I can use my mental power to capture herbivorous behemoths and give you as many green crystals as you desire.”
While transparent crystals were traded and sold in the marketplace, green crystals were priceless—for no females would allow her male to exchange the green crystal with others. Even if the ape king wielded great authority, this was something he couldn’t change. If he wanted green crystals, he would have to capture it himself.
“You said the same thing ten years ago. You’re only good at sweet-talking me. If you fail to give me green crystals, I will find other males!”
“Believe me, the City of Beastmen is about to descend into chaos…”
…
In this snow and ice-covered land, a yellow-furred beastman wearing nothing but an animal skin skirt walked braving the wind and snow. As the snow fell upon his tanned skin, it very quickly melted into water. He held in his arms a ball of snow-white animal fur, and it was only upon close look would they notice a slim and petite face.
Bai Qingqing squirmed her feet into the animal skin. When she came back, she didn’t tighten her shoes, therefore cold air kept entering her shoes, causing her feet to feel so freezing cold that they hurt. But what made her feel more terrible was the gloominess she felt in her heart.
“Barbaric!” Bai Qingqing said with indignation. “Today I discovered that females are even more barbaric than males. They act as they please! They’re simply lawless!”
Parker kept quiet for a long while, before speaking, “It’s my fault for failing to protect you well.”
“It has nothing to do with you.” Bai Qingqing took in a deep breath. She suddenly realized how important the strength Curtis gave her was—if she was attacked by a female, that strength could really be used to save her life.
When she got back home, as the smell of the smoked meat in the house entered her senses, she felt a bit better.
Seeing Bai Qingqing return, Winston added a few pieces of firewood into the fire that was nearly extinguished and asked casually, “Why are you back so soon?”
“A little something happened, so it ended early.”
Winston looked up at Bai Qingqing and saw that she was in a bad mood, so he stopped asking.
Bai Qingqing jumped down from Parker’s embrace, her feet so freezing cold they felt numb and painful. With her face crumpled up, she drew in a gasp. “Pain pain pain pain pain.”
Parker closed the door, then lifted Bai Qingqing up and sat her down by the fire. “I’ll warm them up for you.”
Parker placed Bai Qingqing next to himself and removed her shoes, before pressing those icy-cold feet against his chest. Bai Qingqing let out a gasp, feeling a scalding temperature at her feet. She asked in astonishment, “Why are you males so warm?”
