Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 421: The Merman Steals Her Away

Bai Qingqing was stunned. The children in her arms gave her the courage to use the self-defense moves Parker had taught her. She rotated her wrist to grab the man’s wrist and flip him over.

She had to protect the children no matter what.

The merfolk were agile beastmen, and Bluepool and Parker both had three animal stripes. Not only that, but Bai Qingqing was also much weaker than Parker.

When she retaliated, Bluepool immediately reacted and pressed down on her hand.

“Jean?” Bluepool looked at the female in confusion.

Sh*t, Bai Qingqing thought.

Her body then went limp, and she fell back into a pair of cold arms.

“What’s wrong?” Bluepool was shocked. Unlike land beastmen, merfolk didn’t have spousal marks. Hence, he didn’t know about the secrets behind them. Seeing that Bai Qingqing had fainted, he panickedly picked her up and ran.

Parker had his eyes on a prey lying in ambush among the grass, waiting to attack. Suddenly, he sensed Bai Qingqing’s movements and immediately ran back.

She’s in trouble!

When Bluepool arrived at the river, he placed Bai Qingqing down before sticking his head into the water.

Bai Qingqing hadn’t fully regained consciousness, and she was stunned by the male’s actions. Is he trying to kill himself? It’ll be way too amusing if he drowns himself like this.

The river current was swift, but Bluepool managed to blow bubbles in the water that grew bigger with time and didn’t pop.

Bai Qingqing’s eyes opened wide.

“Meow~” The young leopards excitedly cried out as they happily jumped about in the bubble.

They stepped on Bai Qingqing’s abdomen and called out to her. They were probably worried about their mother.

Bai Qingqing moved her fingers, her body finally regaining its energy.

At this moment, Bluepool had finished blowing the bubbles. As soon as he pulled away, the bubbles drifted along the river. They seemed heavier than soap bubbles as they slowly sank into the water, completely ignoring the laws of gravity.

He picked her and the cubs up and chased after the bubbles.

“Let go of me!” Bai Qingqing said as she struggled, not expecting Bluepool to actually let go of her. Instead of falling into the water like she thought she would, her body landed on a soft and springy object.

There was water everywhere, but a transparent, pale blue barrier was in between. It was as if she was looking at water through a piece of glass.

Bai Qingqing dazedly touched the barrier, not daring to use too much force as she didn’t want to pop it.

“Meow~” The young leopards excitedly cried out as they happily jumped about in the bubble.

“Roar!”

A furious roar could be heard from behind. Parker had made it in time. His anger was palpable as he saw Bai Qingqing on the river, and he ran over at full speed.

Bluepool glanced at the leopard before jumping into the water. With a flick of his tail, he created a route in the water for them to pass through. He pushed the bubble at a speed faster than a naval ship, so much so that even the river current sped up.

Parker also ran at maximum speed. He ran so fast that his limbs looked like a blur, and the distance between the two beastmen shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Parker!”

Bai Qingqing carried the cubs and looked at him through the bubble. The bubble was somewhat deformed as it was being pushed too fast, causing her view to be distorted.

“Howl!”

Parker eventually caught up with the merman and pounced on him with a roar.

Bluepool immediately pulled away from the bubble, turned around, and prepared to fight. It was as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

The merman and leopard became embroiled in a fight, creating huge splashes in the water.

She continued floating down the river. Without the merman stabilizing the floating bubble, it began to spin around in the water like a bowling ball.

Bai Qingqing screamed. Although she didn’t roll around, the bubble caused her to frequently somersault. Panicked, she pulled the cubs into her arms and cried out, “Parker!”
