Chapter 89 - Cortis Shows Up (1) (2/2)

Bai Qingqing smiled at Parker. “Here’s our lunch. Start the fire!”

Parker got up and prepared right away.

Bai Qingqing hesitated for a moment as she stared at Parker’s back view, but ultimately, she still said, “Let me do it myself. I’ll cook for myself in the future and won’t trouble you anymore.”

Parker halted in his actions for a moment, then continued striking the flint. Without turning back, he said, “I’m your male, I’ll be responsible for your food.”

Bai Qingqing felt dejected. She had said all that needed to be said, and there was no use in repeating herself. In any case, Parker was still young, so she could probably drag this out a little.

While Parker started the fire, Bai Qingqing went to the river to prepare the ingredients.

The fishes were too small, so they certainly couldn’t be barbecued. Just like how he had seen Bai Qingqing do it before, Parker used two stones to build a simple stove over the fire, then placed the stone pot over it.

When Bai Qingqing came back, the stone pot had just heated up. Parker waved to her and said, “Quick, hand me the willow branch.”

“Mm.” Bai Qingqing retrieved the willow branches as she was asked. At this moment, there was suddenly a tightening sensation on her left ankle. Yet, she didn’t notice that and merely felt like her body suddenly had unlimited strength, and her hands that were holding those willow branches easily snapped them with no effort.

“Pa!”

The willow branch snapped at that sound, leaving behind a stream of oil in the stone pot.

Bai Qingqing and Parker were both stunned.

“Did you snap them?” Parker asked with uncertainty as he gazed at Bai Qingqing.

“I snapped them?” Bai Qingqing also had a dumbfounded look on her face. Since when did she have such enormous strength?

While feeling perplexed, Bai Qingqing’s body suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground.

“Qingqing!” Parker speedily grabbed her. He felt an invasive gaze all of a sudden, leading him to look outside warily.

In the middle of the river stood a man with red hair watching them coldly. From the river surface, his black and red snake body could indistinctly be seen.
