Beauty and the Beasts

“Got it,” Bai Qingqing replied loudly. She turned her head and saw Curtis appear right behind her. Parker had also caught up carrying the bags of sand.

“Wait for me to fill them up,” said Parker.

Bai Qingqing stuck out her tongue and ended up swallowing a mouthful of sand, making her spit it out loudly. She squatted down and called out, “Babies, come over to Mommy.”

Meow~

The leopard cubs, who hadn’t had enough fun, ran back and rubbed against their mother’s legs pleadingly as they let out soft roars.

Although Bai Qingqing couldn’t understand their babyish voices, Parker—who was of the same species—certainly did. He howled at them right away. “Go play elsewhere!”

A father’s sternness tended to work the best.

The cubs roared before timidly and fearfully fleeing towards their mommy and hiding behind her.

The playful Bai Qingqing quietly dug a small hole, before carrying Third over and burying him, leaving just his little head outside so that he could breathe.

Meow meow~ Third widened his adorable large eyes as he gazed at his mommy. He shook his little head but found that he couldn’t move his body at all. However, he wasn’t at all scared, simply lowering his head and looking at the sand in which he was buried.

Eldest and Second, too, came running over. They ran in circles around Third’s head and even scratched him with their claws to mess with him, making the latter open his mouth angrily to bite in retaliation.

“Hahahaha…” Bai Qingqing laughed so hard her tummy ached. She dug another hole next to Third and buried Eldest as well.

“Roar?” Eldest stared in confusion at Third, then looked at his mother, before finally casting his wary eyes towards Second.

Second roared excitedly as he pounced onto Eldest and started biting him with abandon.

The abilities of the duo had all along been on par, and there had long been a little competition going on between them. Now that he finally got a chance to defeat the other party, Second put his all into his bites.

Eldest proved that he wasn’t an easy opponent by spinning his little head at an unbelievable speed, like an electric fan, turning his head to the back.

It wasn’t easy for Second to attack Eldest’s head.

Bai Qingqing stifled a chuckle while she quietly dug another hole next to the existing ones. She was about to reach out her evil claws to Second when Parker, watching by the side, burst out into laughter.

Parker’s laughter startled Second so badly that his fur exploded, and his body sprang into the air immediately. Only then did he sense that there was something not quite right with his mother.

He glanced at the hole next to his brothers, then towards the hands his mother was sticking out towards him, before instantly straightening his limbs and running away.

Sand flew up in Bai Qingqing’s face. She shook her head and climbed to her feet, then started chasing Second all over the place.

“Hold it right there! Stop running!”

It wasn’t so bad before Bai Qingqing said anything. But the instant she ordered him to stop, Second ramped up his speed and sped through the sand. Soon, Bai Qingqing ran out of stamina, making her incredibly furious.

She couldn’t even run as fast as a one-month-old baby? This certainly dealt her a great blow!

Gritting her teeth, Bai Qingqing continued to give chase.

Curtis, who couldn’t bear to see her tire herself out, felt his heart soften. His snake tail stealthily entered the sand and lifted as Second passed by.

“Pffft.”

Second did a somersault.

Bai Qingqing deftly caught hold of him and said between heavy pants, “Finally caught you, little rascal.”

Roar! Roar!

Second opened his mouth and let out a pitiful cry.

Bai Qingqing grinned wickedly as she buried him right in front of Third and Eldest. Third and Eldest’s little brows, which were hidden inside their fur, raised as they smirked in unison, revealing two tiny white fangs.

Second was speechless.

As the saying goes, what you do to others will eventually come back to you.

With a certain woman’s evil laughter ringing in the background, the three little balls of fur looked like a three-leaf clover as their heads huddled together trying to sink their teeth into each other.

Bai Qingqing, who hadn’t had enough fun even after burying her three cubs, started digging a large hole right beside them.

Curtis and Parker exchanged looks, before retreating in unison.
