457: Small Cave in the Forest (5)

Small Cave in the Forest (5)

Looking at her, Curtis felt a pang in his heart and embraced her. "It seems that I can only let Parker go out to hunt in the future."1

Bai Qingqing didn't reply but looked in a daze at the female Parker had placed onto the floor. She covered her mouth from astonishment.

She was naked, and there wasn't a piece of her skin that was intact. It was all covered in bruises. What that was more terrifying was that the different parts of her body were covered in the bite marks of several beasts. They had even bitten through her skin.

She was like a tattered doll that had exchanged hands countless times.

Realizing that she was unable to break free, the female suddenly stopped moving. She curled up and trembled intensely.

Parker threw a glance at Bai Qingqing, then turned his head away and removed the vines binding her hands and legs. The skin around those areas was strangled so tightly that new wounds covered old ones. Purple strangled bruises had accumulated over time, looking very scary.

Bai Qingqing realized that she was wrong. If Curtis hadn't come, those males wouldn't have let them off.

It was seen as barbaric even in modern society to torture a female like this. In this world of beastmen where females were few in numbers, such acts were even viler.

"Don't be scared, it's alright now."

Bai Qingqing squatted down next to her and took her hand.

The female's body shook intensely, and her frail-looking body suddenly let out an outburst of strength, pushing Bai Qingqing down.

"Qingqing!"

Parker was enraged when he saw that she was pushed. He grabbed onto the female's hands roughly, pressing her to the ground.

The female started screaming again as if she had lost her rationality. She kicked Parker incessantly.

Bai Qingqing sat on the ground and accidentally saw the part she shouldn't be looking at. The injury there was worse, so swollen that it was like a bun. There were also dried traces of blood.

It seemed that she had been violated not long ago.

Bai Qingqing got up, looked for a piece of animal skin, and covered her body. She then said to Parker, "Let her go. She'll be more agitated with you doing this."

"Huh? Why?" He looked at her, baffled.

Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes. You foolish leopard. Don't you think that your pose is very suggestive?

Parker listened to her and let go of the female, who rolled and crawled deeper into the cave. She didn't forget to cover her body with the clothing while doing this. She darted so deep inside that it'd be hard to see any traces of her if one didn't take a closer look.

"When males and females do that… mating, won't there be spousal marks? Why doesn't she have any?" Bai Qingqing looked into the cave and asked. "Is it because they died? But if they were to do this, wouldn't they be scared that the female would remove the spousal mark?"

"That's simple. These males must have become mates with a female and had been abandoned before." Parker suddenly came to a realization and took a quick whiff. His countenance changed. "She's… by those beastmen…"

Bai Qingqing sighed and said, "That's right."

"They are really beasts!" Parker cursed softly.

As the smell of blood on the female was too strong and Parker hadn't expected that those males would do something so vile, he didn't notice the scent at the beginning.

He felt terrified. He couldn't imagine what would have happened to Bai Qingqing if she was captured by them.

Bai Qingqing couldn't believe what had taken place today.

This was the first time she had encountered absolute bad guys. The tiger beastmen who had assassinated her in the past had done that because of love, the eagle beastmen out of protection, and the merfolk out of revenge.

The five beastmen they had encountered today had done bad deeds without any reason. Was this what a group of villains was like?

"Sigh. It seems that females can't easily cancel a spousal relationship." Bai Qingqing lamented. "If there's no abandonment, then there won't be any crimes!"

Hearing that, Parker nodded vigorously in agreement. "That's right. You can't be bad like them."

Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes at him, speechless. She then thought about it for a while before speaking up.
