Bai Qingqing was speechless. After Cortis left, she soaked her feet in the lake water, wanting to wash away the snake’s scent.
She had feared snakes from a young age and dared not even step on somewhere a snake had slithered past. She wouldn’t even touch the soup of a snake steamboat. Yet now, she was being trapped by a giant snake. This to her was the most terrifying nightmare possible.
Very soon Cortis returned. Seeing Bai Qingqing obediently sitting in his abode, an inexplicable satisfaction welled up in his heart.
“I’m back.”
Bai Qingqing ignored him.
Cortis brought back two white rocks and very quickly started a fire. He then skinned the rabbit and put it to roast on the fire. As the wood used to start the fire was a moist piece of rotten wood, the thick and black smoke that rose from it gave off an awful smell.
Bai Qingqing said, “I’ll bet it tastes horrid.”
“Then what do you like to eat?” Cortis asked seriously.
Bai Qingqing replied wilfully, “I want to eat rice!”
Cortis didn’t show a hint of displeasure and instead, agreed readily. “Okay.”
Bai Qingqing was caught by surprise. Wasn’t it said that planting rice easily led to deaths? The only time Parker flared up at her it was because of it. How could a coldblooded homeless beast be so kind?
But then again, when she recalled Parker saying that many males had planted rice in order to please females, she had some understanding of this. It was just that such emotions seemed too out-of-place in a giant snake that had kidnapped her.
As the aroma of meat gradually entered the air, Cortis reached his hand into the fire wanting to get a piece of meat but was instantly burned by the fire. With a hiss, he retracted his hand. Clearly, snakes weren’t suited for such chores.
However, he reached his hand into the fire once again. This time though, using his sharp nails, he rapidly sliced and obtained a smooth piece of rabbit meat.
“Eat.” Cortis handed the meat to Bai Qingqing.
