Beauty and the Beasts Chapter 218 - The Only Punishment for Females in the City of Beastmen

Chapter 218: The Only Punishment for Females in the City of Beastmen

“I’m fine,” Shuu replied curtly and glared fiercely at Rosa.
Seeing that the alcohol on Shuu’s back had fully dried, Bai Qingqing didn’t say another word.
The commotion in the room caused the males’ ears to perk up and look towards the doorway in confusion. Parker stood beside the door and was about to push it open when an ape beastman, whose hearing abilities paled in comparison to that of other beastmen, reached out to stop him.
“It’ll be cold in the room if you open the door,” he said.
Parker wordlessly waved the ape beastman away and kicked the door.
The wooden door broke open with a “bang”. Parker then strode briskly into the house and immediately found Bai Qingqing standing amongst the group of females.
The males were then sure that something had indeed happened and hastily swarmed inside.
Parker ran over to Bai Qingqing and looked her up and down. “Are you okay?”
Bai Qingqing held onto Parker’s hand and replied, “I’m okay. Rosa wanted to splash fruit syrup on me, but Shuu helped to shield me.”
A fierce snarl ripped from Parker’s throat as he looked at Rosa. Rosa’s pups were so terrified by this that they stepped backward and trembled as they hid behind their mother.
When the frightened females saw their mates, one by one, they began crying out of distress. The males’ hearts ached at this, and they all bared their teeth at Rosa. These males loved their wives so dearly that if Rosa was a male, they would immediately pounce on and kill her. There was no doubt about that.
Rosa also felt terrified under the fierce gaze of more than ten males. Luckily for her, her mate also rushed to the house in time, and she immediately regained her arrogance.
“What’s going on here?” The ape king entered with a dark look on his face. His eyes scanned the interior of the room, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that no one was injured. “It’s no longer warm. The females that have collected their fruit syrup can head back first.”
No one protested against the ape king as everyone trusted him. Before long, everyone except a few people vacated the large room. Other than the ape king, only Rosa, Bai Qingqing, and their males stayed behind.
The ape king’s expression softened as he glanced at Bai Qingqing. “You should head back too. Don’t catch a cold and fall sick.”
Seeing the ape king wasn’t going to pursue the matter, Bai Qingqing said angrily, “Rosa splashed the fruit syrup at someone. Shouldn’t she be punished? Shouldn’t she have to apologize?”
Before the ape king could respond, Rosa scoffed and replied, “Punished? I’m a female. Who would dare to punish me?”
Bai Qingqing’s eyes widened in disbelief. She shouted angrily, “Your city is so large. I don’t believe that your people don’t even restrain females in the slightest. What if a female injures or even kills another female?”
Rosa raised her chin proudly. “In the City of Beastmen, we only have one punishment for females: selling them off to smaller villages. But don’t you forget—my father is the tiger king. You’d be sold off before me.”
Bai Qingqing furiously clenched her fists. Parker glanced at Rosa coldly and tried with all his might to hide the murderous look in his eyes. “Let’s go back.”
Males could never reveal any intention to harm a female. Otherwise, they’d be exiled from the city forever.
Parker held onto Bai Qingqing’s shoulders and said solemnly, as if he was taking an oath, “I’ll protect you and make sure she never gets a chance to hurt you.”
Bai Qingqing tightened her grip on Parker’s hand and looked at Shuu. “You can have the fruit syrup. Don’t catch a cold.”
“No, no, no.” Shuu quickly waved his hands and replied, “You can have it. I’m okay.”
“I don’t like fruit syrup.” Bai Qingqing forced a smile and shoved the fruit syrup into Shuu’s hands. Shuu could only take the fruit syrup and was dazed when he felt the warmth of the female’s hands on the fruit shell.
Parker snorted, then carried Bai Qingqing and strode out of the house.
