Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1200: Natural Karst Cave

It was usually hard to attract her attention, and she’d react when eating.

An’an seemed as if she hadn’t heard anything and didn’t even look at her mom. She leaned against Bai Qinqing and didn’t plan on moving anymore.

Bai Qingqing sighed helplessly, and the worry in her heart deepened.

After they head back, she should look at Molly’s child. Her child was only two months younger than An’an and would serve as a better comparison.

With the scent Winston left outside, no wild beasts attacked Bai Qingqing even though she sat alone at the cave’s entrance. After a while, Winston was finally done setting things up. He walked over to her with a face filled with anticipation.

“It’s ready now.”

The deep male voice rang out from above Bai Qingqing’s head and she looked up, meeting Winston’s gentle face. She smiled and placed her hand on his big hand.

Right now, standing from outside, they could see a faint red light in the cave. Bai Qingqing was filled with anticipation as she stepped into the cave under Winston’s lead.

After Bai Qingqing entered completely and her vision broadened, she was stunned.

The scene in front of her was filled with colors. Firstly, the space was very big and her vision broadened. The firelight illuminated all sorts of strange rocks.

Some of those rocks were drooping down from the top, looking densely packed and fine, like a bunch of complicated tree roots. Some of them were upright on the ground, looking like new bamboo shoots that had shot up after the rain. Some of them connected the heavens and the earth, forming strange and exaggerated forms, looking like abstract art by some famous artist.

The most mysterious thing was the gorgeous colors. The “tree roots” were snow-white and the “bamboo shoots” were rainbow-colored, with colors that transitioned gradually horizontally. The “abstract arts” that had indescribable forms were even more unrestrained, being a mix of various colors, bringing an impact to one’s eyeballs.

No matter what color they were in, they had a layer of orange-red and golden-yellow glow from the firelight. This made them appear increasingly majestic and glorious, like the cave of a monarch.

“Wow!” Bai Qingqing let out a surprised gasp. “It’s a karst cave.”

Her parents had brought her to visit a natural karst cave before. It could be due to the cheap price that the karst cave they saw had a lot of obvious artificial marks mixed in. Lights of all colors were shone on them, causing their natural colors to be concealed. Moreover, their colors didn’t seem bright, so colors were added to them artificially. There was a lack of natural beauty, completely different from the feeling this place gave her.

If it wasn’t because of the natural foundation present, those colors would give off a vulgar feeling as well as present a feeling of déjà vu from old horror movies. It’d make one feel scared even by staying in the corner.

But this place gave off a majestic vigor of nature’s uncanny workmanship that would keep spirits and devils away, making one astonished.

Even An’an, being someone so scared of the dark, didn’t feel scared here. This was enough to show how amazing it was.

“You’ve seen one before?” Winston felt a little disappointed.

Bai Qingqing nodded but didn’t appear calm. Instead, she felt surprised from seeing something even more amazing. “This place is too beautiful! It’s a lot nicer than the one I saw!”

Winston heaved a sigh of relief. He had initially planned on refining these strange rocks, but after seeing how much his mate liked them, he immediately dismissed this idea and decided to take good care of the place.

Having been dealt a blow by a natural landscape, Bai Qingqing temporarily forgot her troubles and found a clean place to warm up by the fire.

In the City of Beastmen, Parker had spent half a day drawing up a design before he was finally satisfied with it. He couldn’t wait and ran back to show it to Bai Qingqing, but only an empty room greeted him.

He lay down on the ground and sniffed, then found out that Bai Qingqing was carried away by Winston. He immediately gave chase while following the scent.

In the new year, all life resuscitated, and the ground was covered by new adornment. Muir’s feathers also grew increasingly full.
