When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 6-10

Chapter 6: Bleeding

“They’re for females,” he said. “They’re very sweet. Keep them for yourself. Don’t waste them on me.”

Lin Huanhuan was a little angry. “What do you mean ‘waste’? You’re my family. In my heart, you’re the most important! No amount of crunchy fruit is as important as you!”

Bai Di froze. He looked into the face of his little female. Her fair face looked warm and alive in the firelight. A warm current flowed into his heart.

Lin Huanhuan felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

He whispered, “I’ve never seen a female so gentle…”

Although females were rare, they were not completely nonexistent. He had seen several females before, and without exception, they were all spoiled and wilful. Those females never cared about the lives of others. They only cared about their own happiness. Their almost cruel innocence made Bai Di avoid them like the plague.

But the little female in front of him was different. She was gentle.

Unable to resist, he leaned over and nuzzled her with his big furry head. “I’m so lucky to have met you in this life.”

Lin Huanhuan was feeling ticklish. She laughed in spite of herself. “Don’t move. I have to dress your wounds!”

She used a bone knife to cut the hide into strips and she then wrapped them carefully around Bai Di’s wounds.

Lin Huanhuan asked slowly, “Does it still hurt?”

He carefully felt around. “It feels better now.”

Lin Huanhuan smiled in relief. “That’s good!”

She dug out the needles and thread they had bought at the market earlier in the day, and she started making shoes.

After struggling for a long time, she still did not succeed. Instead, her fingers were pricked by the bone needles several times, and blood droplets appeared.

Bai Di’s heart ached.

He immediately shifted back into human form. He then took the needle, thread, and animal hide. “It’s better if I do it.”

Lin Huanhuan was very hesitant. “Your hands are still injured…”

“They’re all just minor injuries. They won’t stop me doing needlework.”

He quickly cut the animal skin and threaded the needle. Soon, he made a pair of exquisite and cute leather boots.

In order to make it comfortable, he specially padded the boots with two layers of animal hide. He attached strips of hide to them so that they could be laced up. They could be worn either loose or tight. Furthermore, they were easy to wear and take off.

“Try them on,” Bai Di said.

Lin Huanhuan immediately wore them on her feet and bounced back and forth. She asked excitedly, “Do they look good?”

He nodded, feeling pleased. “They’re very nice. You won’t have to worry about getting your feet cut by pebbles anymore.”

Lin Huanhuan asked slowly, “Do you want to make a pair of shoes for yourself too?”

“No, thanks. My skin is thick. I don’t have to worry about getting cut when I walk on the ground. Besides, I often need to transform. If I wear shoes, it’ll be inconvenient when I change into my beast form.”

Lin Huanhuan imagined a big tiger wearing leather boots and couldn’t help but chuckle. “Alright. I forgot to think about that.”

After watching him make the shoes, Lin Huanhuan was a little tired. She leaned against Bai Di’s belly, while Bai Di tucked his tail around her. Warmth enveloped her and lulled her into sleep.
