Chapter 56 - Cortis Was Scalded (1/2)

Bai Qingqing’s eyes felt sore, and she almost cried. She said sobbingly, “I’m sorry.”

Cortis hugged Bai Qingqing, kissing her tearing eyes, sucking away the moisture gently. “It’s fine as long as you’re alright. I’ve spoiled your food. I’ll be very happy as long as you’re not mad at me.”

“How can you be so foolish!” Bai Qingqing glared at Cortis, not appearing threatening at all. After seeing the red scald marks on his chest, she gently pushed his chest and said, “Let me go. Let me take a look at your wounds.”

Cortis’s scales were tough. His flesh wasn’t scalded even though he had rolled over the fire. It was just that a large area of his skin near his waist had turned red and was slightly wrinkled.

Cortis threw a casual look at his body and said, “I’m fine. I’ll recover very soon.”

Bai Qingqing had wanted to help Cortis to take care of the wound, but she didn’t recognize medicinal herbs. She seemed to recall that scalded wounds shouldn’t come into contact with water either, and the heat on the wound must be allowed to scatter. Right now, the best way of dealing with things was to no take care of it at all.

Bai Qingqing thought to herself, her heart aching, The males in this world are too foolish. Won’t they get angry? Didn’t they say that homeless beasts are abominable?

But she felt that Cortis, a homeless beast who was planning to become a r*pist, seemed better than 80% of the men in the modern days.

Cortis took Bai Qingqing’s hand and returned to the cave. Ashes were scattered all over the ground, and it was difficult to walk around.

“You stay outside. You can come in after I’ve cleaned up the place.” Cortis instructed her.

“No need. I’ll clean up together with you.” After saying that, Bai Qingqing plucked a few bunches of grass, putting them together to sweep the ashes.

Seeing that the female’s way of cleaning was very safe, Cortis didn’t say anything. He also looked for a tool to clean up the floor.

“Aiyah!” Bai Qingqing suddenly let out a cry and propped up her leg to take a look at the bottom of her foot.

Cortis immediately threw aside his cleaning tool and carried her up by the waist, asking anxiously, “You were scalded?”

Bai Qingqing smiled shyly. “I only stepped on some firewood that’s a little hot. It’s already extinguished and isn’t really that hot.”
