Chapter 503 - The Tiger King Has Come (3) (2/2)
Winston spoke slowly in his deep voice, “They like to go around abducting females. They behave pretty much like feral beasts and also associate with the scorpion beasts. I immediately rushed here upon hearing news of you from the scorpion tribe.”
At this point, warmth surfaced in Winston’s eyes. He gazed at Bai Qingqing and said, “Thank god it really is you.”
His gaze caused Bai Qingqing’s heart to ache. “It’s been tough on you.”
“Does everyone know it’s her?” asked Curtis suddenly.
The atmosphere in the house plunged to an all-time low all of a sudden. Winston replied bitterly, “The scorpion tribe spoke of it exaggeratedly. Although the rootless beasts in Flame City don’t quite believe them, the more powerful ones amongst them wanted to verify it for themselves. And the scorpion tribe—who were thoroughly convinced—won’t give up easily.”
Bai Qingqing didn’t even have the strength to complain. Had she turned into a femme fatale?
“Then, what are we to do now?” Bai Qingqing smiled bitterly as she lifted Third into her arms. “Are we moving?”
She couldn’t bear to move having just settled down. The water wheel she gave Bluepool hadn’t been used yet, so she wanted to see the effects.
Curtis’s eyes narrowed, and he said, “Why hide? If one appears, I’ll kill one! If a group appears, I’ll slay the entire group!”
That voice brimming with killing intent made Bai Qingqing shiver involuntarily, and she suddenly turned cold.
Winston looked towards him and asked, “Your animal stripes…”
“I had a breakthrough,” replied Curtis.
Parker cast a surprised glance at Curtis, then looked towards Winston.
He’s even revealing something so important to Winston. Seems like Curtis is planning to accept him.

Winston’s pupils shrunk, and he said, clearly surprised, “So, when one goes beyond four stripes, all his animal stripes disappear.
“But we can’t be too flamboyant about it. I suspect there are also beastmen with four animal stripes or more in Flame City.”
“Chey!” Parker also transformed into a human.
