Beauty and the Beasts

The wolf king instantly put up his defenses and prepared to turn.

But it was too late and the danger had gotten too close. At the instant the wolf king felt the pain, he had lost his consciousness.

The ape king tugged at the animal skin bag in the wolf king’s hand. As the wolf king had held onto it too tightly, it took him a while before he got it off.

A sigh rang out in the room. “Wouldn’t it have been fine if you gave it to me earlier?”

The ape king felt that it was a great pity. He had lost a reliable four-striped beastman helper.

Thankfully, he was going to become a three-striped beastman very soon. The mental power of a three-striped beastman would be capable of fighting up against an ordinary four-striped beastman. When the time came…

One floor higher, across the stone flooring, the female’s cheerful voice came to a stop. Large drop of tears suddenly flowed out from her eyes.

“What’s the matter?” a male asked anxiously.

The wolf king’s mate grabbed onto her chest and tears kept on falling out. She trembled as she removed her tube top, then cried out loud, unable to suppress herself.

The ape king engulfed all the transparent crystals on the spot, and powerful energy surged in his body like a tsunami. Under the silver moonlight, the ape king’s face became twisted, his face flushed red, and his brown eyes filled with scary blood streaks.

A brown stripe that was like an earthworm crawled on his crimson face from the corner of his eyes to the back of his ear. The ape king could sense a scorching heat on his face, and he almost broke out laughing maniacally.

Noisy footsteps rang out from outside the door. The ape king picked up the wolf king’s corpse and jumped out from the window, heading out of the entrance.

The guards appeared perplexed when they looked toward the ape king and saw the wolf king being carried. When he met the ape castle’s glowing green eyes, they suddenly went into a daze. The scene that appeared before their eyes was that after the wolf king and ape king left the castle, they each walked toward a different end of the street.

After throwing the corpse around the corner, the ape king broke out into an eerie but silent laugh. The mental power of a three-striped beastman was a lot stronger than he imagined!

…

Today was meant to be a sleepless night.

All the beastmen found it hard to sleep due to their joy and excitement from the rain. When the news of the wolf king’s death broke out, the entire City of Beastmen was thrown into a great commotion.

“Why is it so noisy outside?” Bai Qingqing mumbled in a half-asleep state, rubbing her eyes as she sat up.

Winston walked to the door and spoke in a soft voice toward the bedroom, “The wolf king is dead.”

“What?” Bai Qingqing subconsciously looked toward Curtis. Curtis looked up sluggishly and said, “It wasn’t me.”

Bai Qingqing felt unsettled. A problem had occurred at such a serious time. She hoped that a turn of events wouldn’t take place.

“Let’s go out to take a look.” Bai Qingqing tidied up her clothes and walked out barefooted.

Only upon coming out did she realize that there was a lot of noise coming from the tiger castle’s entrance. After listening to it carefully, she realized that they were all demands for Curtis to be denounced.

“Chase away the bloodthirsty snake beastman!”

“Return the wolf king’s life!”

The beastmen outside were bellowing furiously, and Bai Qingqing subconsciously glanced at Curtis next to her. However, she saw that there wasn’t any change to his expression. He wasn’t affected at all.

“So what if I killed him?” Curtis didn’t explain himself but admitted it indirectly. “Which of you want to avenge him?”

The crowd suddenly turned silent for a moment, exchanging glances amongst themselves, but no one dared to speak up.

“Heh…” Curtis let out a stifled laugh. No matter the place, it was a case of survival of the fittest. To think that a small city had the foolish thought of paying a life with a life. He was really surprised.

However, it seemed that someone wanted to frame him.

The ape king? Leopard king? Or was it Winston?

These were the only three beastmen capable of killing the wolf king. Regardless of who it was, he would get this beastman to pay the price.

Curtis was in disdain, but that didn’t mean that Bai Qingqing could tolerate this accusation. She walked up to Winston and asked, “Why did they say that it was Curtis? Is there any proof?”
