Chapter 284 - Exchanging Sharp Words (1/2)
“You can’t do this.” The tiger beastman stood his ground.
Just then, Bai Qingqing walked out from the staircase. With her head lowered, it looked like she was looking for something.
Eudora instantly pointed a finger at Bai Qingqing and ranted. “Then why is she up there? Why is she allowed to go up but I’m not?”
Bai Qingqing looked up dazedly. Upon seeing that it was Eudora, she didn’t bother with her and simply continued walking on with her head lowered.
The two tiger beastmen quickly gave way to Bai Qingqing. Eudora had wanted to seize the chance to enter, but the tiger beastman blocked her way with his long arm.

Eudora stomped on the ground angrily. “Hmph! Fine, I won’t go up. No big deal! There are no good males in the tiger tribe!”
The two tiger beastmen’s countenance turned terrible instantly. After Eudora left, one of them said worriedly, “Will she choose not to seek a tiger beastman mate because of us? It’d be terrible if word gets out and these females grow to dislike the tiger males.”
The other tiger beastman hesitated a moment, before saying, “Ah, it’s out of our hands now. In any case, we’re not the ones looking for a spouse. If that really happens, those young tiger beastmen can only count themselves unlucky.”
“Aye!”
