Beauty and the Beasts

A hole was broken through the ice layer, and there was no sign of the leopard after he jumped in. Only after a long time did a drenched leopard head pop up.

Bai Qingqing felt cold just from looking at him. The cold air surged in from the window, and she broke out in goosebumps. She quickly shouted outside, “Alright, get up quickly.”

[I’m coming!]

Parker let out a howl and then dived under the ice layer again, swimming rapidly in the water, using the water pressure to clean his fur. He then changed into his human form and carefully washed his skin.

Bai Qingqing’s body felt like it was going to freeze into an ice popsicle just from being in the cold wind for a little while. She hugged her shoulders, walked next to the basin of hot water, and used a warm towel to wipe her body.

Even the water had turned icy from the cold, and she felt cold when coming into contact with it. The cleaning up became an extremely agonizing process. Bai Qingqing quickly washed up and immediately darted under the blanket without even putting on any clothes. She curled up into a ball and kept on shivering.

Parker came back, covered in coldness. He took on his human form and the water on his body and fur were all forced out. Only the hair on his head was still wet.

“Qingqing, I’ve washed up.” After saying that, Parker tugged at the animal skin blanket.

The blanket curled up into a cocoon, clearly trembled, then a head of messy hair slowly peaked out from the top. It could be that it was too stuffy and she was lacking in oxygen that Bai Qingqing was gasping, and her face was also red.

“Are you alright? Why did you go into the river when it’s so cold?” Bai Qingqing looked at him worriedly. Parker naturally wasn’t wearing any animal skin since he had just taken a bath, and he looked very energetic.

Bai Qingqing’s hand holding onto the blanket shivered. Alright, it seemed that Parker was doing very well.

“I’m not cold.” Parker flipped up the blanket and quickly darted under it.

Bai Qingqing looked at him with wide-open eyes. From this perspective, she felt that Parker was very pressurizing, and she moved a little, feeling uneasy.

Parker grinned foolishly and lowered his body.

“Wait, wait, wait!” Bai Qingqing pushed at his chest and called out loudly.

“What’s the matter?” Parker asked.

Bai Qingqing said, “Erm, don’t you need to store up stamina? You guys needed to prepare for a few days previously.”

Alright, she felt a little frightened.

Parker was unlike Curtis. He would listen to her, and his body temperature was very high. Furthermore, the fervent light in his eyes also panicked her.

Parker propped his hands on Bai Qingqing’s either side. “No need.”

“Is that so…” Bai Qingqing said.

Bai Qingqing was about to go all out when Parker suddenly moved.
