Rosa scoffed. “Have you forgotten why you were driven out of your family? Why don’t I help you refresh your memories? That day at the gathering of the four tribes, you pinned me down on the grass and bullied me. You ripped off my clothes. All the beastmen there saw that.”
Her tone then softened, and she started sobbing. “You’ve seen all of my body and touched me everywhere. That’s why I wanted to take you as my male. But you didn’t know what’s good for you. No wonder you didn’t copulate with me then. So you only wanted to toy with me.”
The speechless Bai Qingqing felt that this was a lot of information to take in.
Rosa’s partners got furious. They flashed their teeth and howled at Parker, pacing up and down at the entrance of the stone castle, ready for a fight.
Parker turned around and glanced anxiously at Bai Qingqing. He said furiously, “You’re spouting nonsense. You were the one who ripped off your own clothes! I had thought you tripped and fell and wanted to help you get up. But you clung onto me and refused to let go. Aren’t you just eyeing the fact that I became a two-striped beastman right after I came of age? You want to rope me into your tribe to strengthen the power of your tribe. You’re a snob! No way will I like such a female!”
Rosa patted the restless tiger underneath her. “I’ve given you a chance. Since you don’t wish to be my mate, are you returning to your leopard tribe now to stir up a battle between the two tribes?”
She snickered. “Don’t forget that we, the tiger tribe, have two four-striped beasts.”
Realization dawned on Bai Qingqing. So this female really schemed against Parker and made him get caught in the act, so that she could force Parker to comply with her wishes. Males could only become mates with someone once. If Parker had consented, he could only be devoted towards her, and that would, in turn, make him a beastman of the tiger tribe.
“Roar!”
A low growl was heard beside Bai Qingqing. She turned her head sideways and saw that it was Parker’s father, the leopard king.
The reason she could recognize him was that the leopard king was of a much larger size than ordinary leopards, and there was also an unmistakable aura about him.
Memi, standing next to the leopard king, gazed comfortingly at Bai Qingqing, then said to Rosa, “We, the leopard tribe, are no pushovers. If you wish to battle, let’s battle.”
“Mom, no need for that.” Parker turned around and said to her, “If we go to war, many beastmen will die. The City of Beastmen is a unit, we’ll just be killing among ourselves. Qingqing and I will immediately move out.”
Parker then looked towards Rosa, his voice calm as though he was simply recounting facts. “One day I will become a four-striped beastman and make your tribe lose the power to act as you like.”
Although Parker sounded arrogant, he did have what it took to say something like this.
His father was a four-striped beastman, so simply judging from his bloodline he already showed great potential. Moreover, Parker was also the strongest one among his brothers—he was the only two-striped leopard amongst them. In fact, he earned his two stripes at an even younger age than his father. It was very likely that his achievements in the future would surpass his father’s.
If Parker weren’t so outstanding, Rosa wouldn’t have chosen him.
Bai Qingqing saw Parker in a different light now. She hadn’t expected that even though Parker was at a hotblooded age, he could consider the big picture, that even after being bullied this way he could still keep his cool.
Rosa didn’t mock Parker for being overly ambitious, but simply stared fixedly at him for a moment, before patting the tiger beneath her. “Let’s go.”
“Parker.” Bai Qingqing called out to him softly.
Parker turned around and held Bai Qingqing tightly, then released her slightly and asked with a hint of nervousness, “You don’t believe what Rosa said, do you? I really didn’t bully her.”
“Of course I believe you.” Bai Qingqing nodded. If Parker truly was that sort of a beastman, he would long have treated her that way after rescuing her.
This was especially since she was rescued by him and didn’t have the right to refuse his courtship. She could only make Parker give up of his own accord.
