Chapter 44 - Disrespected (2/2)

What was that liquid? Had the roasted rice Xiao Bai brought not cooled yet?

“Did I hurt you?” Ignoring himself, Cortis grabbed Bai Qingqing’s round shoulder to try and get her to turn around. However, he was somewhat distracted by how soft and warm her skin felt.

The female felt really soft.

Bai Qingqing was extremely terrified. She held her chest and refused to raise her head, her body shaking as she cried. Her body remained crouched over no matter how Cortis grabbed at her shoulder as her large tears dripped onto his tail.

Cortis didn’t dare to use too much strength as he didn’t want to hurt her. He gently coaxed her in a soft voice. “Please get up. I won’t poke you anymore.”

“You… you threw my clothes away. How can I get up? Waah…” Bai Qingqing said in between cries.

“I’ll make you new ones.” Cortis patted her back. This caused her body to curl up even more as if she wanted to curl herself up into a ball.

Cortis was exasperated yet intrigued by the female’s reaction. Since he wasn’t in a hurry, he said nonchalantly, “If you don’t want that, then so be it. You’ll just walk around naked. You’ll catch a cold if you wear damp clothes. You probably won’t if you don’t wear anything.”

Bai Qingqing panicked. Walking around naked in the future? No way!

She turned her head to look towards the river outside. Her cowhide tube top was long gone. It probably sank to the bottom of the river or drifted away.

Why was life so hard?

Bai Qingqing took a deep breath and suddenly straightened her body, throwing caution to the wind. Her head was still turned towards the entrance of the cave as she refused to look at Cortis. “Then make some clothes for me.”

If he saw her body, then so be it. It wasn’t like she was going to lose a pound of flesh. If Cortis wanted to make a move on her, it would be more dangerous if her body continued to be exposed.

When Cortis got a good look at Bai Qingqing’s entire chest, his mind went blank for a moment before he started to feel guilty.
