Beauty and the Beasts

Dream 1

“En, en.” Bai Qingqing nodded vigorously. “Will they be afraid of the cold when they’re so young?”

“The temperature in the bedroom is alright. They can just stay in the house,” Curtis said.

Bai Qingqing saw that the baby snakes were very docile now and couldn’t help but want to touch them. Her hands reached into the air, but then she asked, not feeling assured, “They have just hatched. They shouldn’t be poisonous, right?”

“They are.” The smile in Curtis’s eyes became even more intense. “It isn’t a problem for them to kill an ordinary mature beastman with their poison.”

Bai Qingqing immediately drew back her hand. Her nest of sons was too dangerous. It was really easy to give birth, but not so easy to bring up children!

After staying in Curtis’s embrace and looking at the baby snakes for a while, Bai Qingqing said, a little excited, when she saw them trembling a little, “Quickly bring the bamboo basket here and let them sleep.”

Bai Qingqing was less than 20 years old, and this was her first time being a mother. She was still at the age at which she loved to have fun and wasn’t really thinking of letting the snakes sleep. She just wanted to see how they would look like in the basket.

Parker took out the bamboo basket and walked up to the snakes. He was about to grab them and put them in when Bai Qingqing said, “Wait. Put some grass inside first, then lay a piece of animal skin.”

Parker did as he was told. However, the animal skin was fluffy, to begin with, and the grass below it would only make it even more uneven. In the end, he poured out the grass again, putting onto the animal skin inside.

Curtis grabbed the snakes and put them into the basket. They wriggled around inside, looking like a big lump of braids.

“Pffttt, haha…” Bai Qingqing poked a baby snake’s tail when it wasn’t paying attention. He immediately turned his head, opening its mouth and wanted to bite.

This time around, Bai Qingqing was prepared, and she drew her hand back rapidly. She said gloomily, “They are shy with strangers.”

Curtis smiled and didn’t say anything. He wasn’t planning on telling Bai Qingqing that anyone would attack instinctively under such a situation. If someone were to launch a sneak attack on him, he would show the same reaction regardless of who the other party was.

He was very satisfied with the current situation. Since Bai Qingqing liked the children but was afraid of them, she could only look for him when she wanted to get close to them. It wasn’t in vain to give birth to them.

The baby snakes seemed to like this warm nest a lot. They wriggled around, found a suitable position, and then gradually stopped moving. Only their eyes remained open.

Bai Qingqing took a close look for a while and realized that their eyes appeared a little groggy. Only then did she realize that they had fallen asleep.

Bai Qingqing broke into a satisfied smile, moving her eyes away from the baby snakes despite not bearing to take her gaze away from them. “Let’s go to sleep as well.”

“En.” Curtis carried her and got up, going around the place where his nest was originally at, only to recall that his nest had also been shifted underground.

The air ventilation underground wasn’t good and it was also humid. The grass was in bad shape over the few months.

Curtis furrowed his brows tightly together, then placed Bai Qingqing down onto Parker’s nest.

Parker was overjoyed. He flipped up the blanket and said to her, “Quickly come and sleep.”

Bai Qingqing threw a glance at Curtis, then walked over to the nest and sat down, feeling unsettled. Parker quickly took off his skirt and then helped Bai Qingqing to remove her clothes.

Curtis’s hands, which were by the side of his body, clenched into fists, releasing crackling sounds. He held it in, and then eventually picked up the basket and slept next to the baby snakes.

Bai Qingqing entered dreamland with her lips curled up. In her dream, she had gotten along well with the baby snakes. They crawled around on her body, causing her to feel very itchy.

In the end, she finally summoned the courage to put out her hand to touch them for the very first time.

However, she hadn’t expected that the baby snake which was touched would suddenly change his expression, opening his mouth and biting on her thumb.

He was poisonous!

“Urgh…” Bai Qingqing let out a soft moan. She had no idea if this was a physiological effect, but at the thought of how the baby snake was poisonous, her thumb started to feel numb.
