Chapter 32 - Cortiss Snake Cave (2/2)

He hadn’t felt this emotion when he was fighting the leopard earlier. At that time, he merely wanted to first take the female away and was planning on sending her back if she was not to his liking. After all, a female who didn’t have any mates was extremely hard to come by.

Cortis placed his snakeskin gently on the stone ground, resuming his cold disposition as he said in an emotionless voice, “My name is Cortis.”

Bai Qingqing only shifted away from Cortis, glaring at him and not saying a word.

“What’s your name?”

Bai Qingqing remained quiet.

Cortis narrowed his clear and red eyes slightly, causing Bai Qingqing’s hairs to stand on end. She was feeling tense when she heard him say in a cold voice, “Then I’ll just call you Xiao Bai.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

Bai again. Parker also said before that the name Baibai suited her more.

At the thought of Parker, Bai Qingqing felt her heart clench.

She wondered how Parker was doing. He even vomited blood, so he must have injured his internal organs. Yet, he still maniacally gave chase for such a long distance. What if he had complications from this injury?

“You females need to eat every day, don’t you?” Cortis’s voice snapped Bai Qingqing out of her thoughts.

Bai Qingqing snapped fiercely. “I don’t need you to care for me!”

Cortis’s gaze turned cold and his red pupils shrunk slightly, such that they were now vertical, displaying the coldness and ruthlessness unique to a snake.

Bai Qingqing clenched her hands by her sides, her back pressed closely against the cold stone wall, feeling a coldness spread throughout her internal organs.

Cortis, however, quickly kept away the coldness in his eyes and said blandly, “I’m going to hunt.”

He then transformed into a snake and glided out of the stone cave.
