Chapter 460 - The Tiger Village (1) (2/2)
The remaining tiger beastmen roared at her. Her body tensed, and it took her a while before she realized that the one they were glaring at was Curtis.
They must have wrongly assumed that Curtis—the feral beast—had snatched away the female from their tribe.
As this thought came to her mind, Bai Qingqing instantly explained, “Don’t misunderstand. We saved her from some other beastmen. This is my spouse, he’s not going to snatch your females.”
The tiger beastmen seemed doubtful of that, for the wariness in their eyes didn’t dissipate one bit.
Bai Qingqing raised her left foot and said, “Look, this is his spousal mark.”
Another tiger beastman transformed into a human. As he faced Bai Qingqing, Curtis pressed her head against his chest.
“You accepted a feral beast!”
That tiger beastman exclaimed in an incredulous and extremely displeased tone.
“Do you know how cruel they are? Even if Becky wasn’t abducted by him, she must have been abducted by some other feral beast. Look at the state she’s in now. She’s only been missing for half a month, and now she’s so skinny that we didn’t recognize her at first glance.”
Becky was being embraced by that tiger beastman named Ford. She slowly quieted down and shrunk into his arms with a dazed expression.
The tiger beastmen’s prejudice against Curtis infuriated Bai Qingqing. Although they didn’t necessarily have to stay in this village, she felt that she had to make some things clear.
“There are some good spouses among the feral beasts. At least my mate is one such example.”
She glanced at Becky and then said, “Moreover, she wasn’t abducted by feral beasts, but rather, five beastmen of different species who had their spousal relationships canceled.”
“That’s impossible!” The tiger beastman rebutted right away. “Beastmen who already formed spousal relationships once wouldn’t be able to do it a second time. There’s no need for them to snatch a female.”
“Why is it impossible?”
