บท 37: Seek Help From the City of Beastmen
บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
"Oooo… Qingqing…"
In the wooden house, the leopard lying in the grass nest suddenly moved his four limbs rapidly, seemingly yearning to sprint.
When Harvey heard the movement, he instantly set down what he was doing and walked over. Pinning down the leopard whose wounds had ruptured because he was fidgeting about, he cautioned. "Parker, stop moving. Do you have a death wish?"
Parker opened his eyes abruptly, an alarming ferociousness in his golden eyes. Springing up into the air, he pounced onto Harvey and brought him to the ground.
"Wake up!" Shocked by Parker's murderous aura, Harvey's back broke out in cold sweat.
Staring ferociously at Harvey's face, Parker gradually regained his senses. Letting out a howl, he said, "Harvey?"
The relieved Harvey angrily pushed Parker away. "Crazy beast. Don't transform now. Be careful, else your wound will rupture."
Parker asked anxiously, "Where's Qingqing?"
Harvey fell silent, heartache evident in his gaze.
He too felt the pain of the loss, but because he had never harbored hopes towards Bai Qingqing, he didn't feel the pain of losing one's mate and merely felt heartache for Bai Qingqing.
Parker felt his hopes dashed to pieces. His eyes darted about as if an idea suddenly struck him. He instantly ran out.
Harvey quickly stopped him. "Where are you going? You're severely injured, you need to recuperate in quiet."
Parker roared at Harvey, before shaking him off and sprinting away.
He had no choice but to rely on the influence of his matriarchal race. Although he was chased out by his family and had said he wasn't ever going to return to the City of Beastmen, right now only his matriarchal race had the ability to snatch back Qingqing from the hands of the four-striped feral beast. He had to give it a shot.
In the center of the City of Beastmen, a four-story-high ancient-looking stone castle stood. It was the highest architectural building in the city.
A leopard sprinted into one of the castles, vomiting blood as he ran, leaving behind sticky specks of red.
The two beast guards at the door looked at each other. The young master who was chased away had returned. Should they make him leave?
Without waiting for them to figure things out, the young master was nowhere to be seen now.
Then, just… forget about it.
Acting as though they had seen nothing, the two leopard guards continued standing at their posts with solemn expressions.
In the back garden of the castle, a female who was approximately thirty years old lazily lay on a rattan chair decorated with green leaves as she ate the specialties her mates brought back from various lands in the beast world, a leisure expression on her face.
"Mm, the horned melon from the City of Deserts is the sweetest of all fruits." Memi was relishing the taste of a red fruit about the size of a pomelo when suddenly, a bandaged leopard sprinted towards her.
"Who is this?" Memi glanced over, not at all nervous. Since this person was allowed to enter, he must be one of their own people.
Which mate of hers was this? He was so severely injured that she couldn't even recognize him.
Parker transformed back into a human and leaped onto Memi's lap. "Mom! Your son's female was snatched!"
"Pff!" Memi sputtered a mouthful of blood-red fruit jam onto Parker's face. "Parker?"
"My darling baby. Where have you been all these days? How did you get beaten up so badly? I asked you not to leave the City of Beastmen and you wouldn't listen." Memi rubbed Parker's face with heartache evident on her face. She adjusted his bandages that had become messy because of his transformation and said, "Tell Mom who was the one who beat you up. Mom will ask your fathers to avenge you!"
The motherly love that Parker hadn't experienced for some time warmed up his heart. He hugged his mother, then let go of her and said, "My other fathers won't do. My own father has to personally step in. The feral beast who snatched away my female has four animal stripes."
In their family, only Parker's biological father, the leopard king, had four animal stripes. He was one of the four strongest beasts in the City of Beastmen.
Memi's expression froze before she quieted down. "Four-striped feral beast? It wasn't easy for you to finally have a female. I haven't even seen her yet. We have to snatch her back!"
Parker nodded his head repeatedly. "Mm, mm."
"But your father isn't in the City of Beastmen." Memi pondered a moment, then said, "I'll arrange for someone to search for news of your female first. Don't fret, Baby."
Parker replied, "Thanks, Mom."
บท 38: The Herbivorous Beastmen's Commercial Village
บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
At this moment, Curtis and Bai Qingqing were in the forest. Seeing smoke rise ahead, the previously dejected-looking Bai Qingqing pointed excitedly in the direction of the smoke and exclaimed in a delighted voice, "There!"
Once they got to the village, she'd have an opportunity to seek help. She hoped that this was a larger village and that formidable beastmen resided there.
How could Curtis not see what Bai Qingqing was thinking? However, he felt no fear at all, speedily slithering towards that place.
Once they were out of the forest, they saw square-shaped golden rice fields on the grassland, one on the east side and one on the west side, each field merely 100 square meters or so.
It was the hottest time of the day, yet there were male beastmen with black horns on their heads bent over removing the weed. They slogged over this small plot of rice field, to the point of being drenched in sweat.
The excited Bai Qingqing looked at them with a scorching hot gaze, hoping they would be able to help her.
Sensing someone was here, the males looked towards Bai Qingqing and Curtis in unison.
Bai Qingqing stared at them hopefully. Curtis's snake form already made clear his identity. If they had the ability, they would definitely drive out Curtis right away.
Those males looked stiffly at them for a moment before bending over and resuming working as though nothing had happened. Yet, their hands and legs were shaking violently against their will.
Bai Qingqing felt an emptiness in her heart as she slumped on Curtis's shoulder as if all strength had been drawn from her.
"Those living here are herbivorous beastmen, so they're naturally scared of me," Curtis explained to Bai Qingqing, then moved his tail and slithered into the village.
So that's why, Bai Qingqing thought to herself with her head lying lifelessly on Curtis's shoulder.
The sheep tribe was the best at planting crops among all the beastmen. But they didn't plant the crops for their own consumption and instead would exchange them with the more powerful carnivorous beastmen for salt, an indispensable item in their everyday life.
So this was a commercial village. Every day, carnivorous beastmen would come here to exchange for food, to use it to please their females.
Following Curtis's entry, the prosperous streets of the Sheep Village fell into a dead silence.
All the beastmen's gazes were on the half-human half-snake Curtis. The herbivorous beastmen's eyes were filled with terror. As for the carnivorous beastmen, after seeing the four animal stripes on his face, their gazes turned from one of fury to that of dread.
Thankfully, Curtis was carrying a female in his arms. Else, the surrounding male beastmen probably would have dashed right back to their mate's sides.
They looked towards the female in the feral beast's arms, curious as to what the pitiful female looked like. And when their gazes fell upon that female's face, they couldn't shift their eyes away from her.
My god, how could such a beautiful female exist in this world? That fair skin was like the winter snow, and her large watery eyes seemed as though they could peer right into others' hearts.
However, her face was terribly pale. It made one feel such heartache for her that they wished they could offer her the best of everything, just so that she could be happier.
This must be a cherished female painstakingly raised by some large tribe!
A feral beast actually managed to get through all the barriers and snatched away the most cherished female. Unbelievable. But then again, when they saw the four animal stripes on the feral beast's face, they came to terms with that.
With a cold and murderous look in his eyes, Curtis suddenly swept at those males who had been staring eagerly at his female with his snake's tail.
"You're seeking death!" Curtis said in a sinister and cold voice.
The males who came here to exchange for food didn't dare to even look up. They crawled to their feet and ran away instantly. In no time, all that was left were the pitiful sheep beastmen manning their shopfronts.
"Wh-wh-what do you want to exchange for?" A young male sheep beastman selling rice stammered as he saw the four-striped snake beastman walk towards him, the black horns on his head trembling violently.
"Rice," Curtis replied simply.
The sheep beastman immediately took out a small bag of rice and placed it on the stone counter. Bai Qingqing figured it was only about 500g.
