Chapter 116 - Pork Is Precious (1/2)

So brutal. They must be wild boars. Actually, that makes sense. Pigs found in nature certainly wouldn’t be like those domesticated by humans over several generations.

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since she had eaten pork. Looking at the attractive pork belly, Bai Qingqing felt her mouth water.

The various kinds of animal meat were all tougher than beef. She had really never eaten such tender meat like pork.

“Then, let’s bring it home and eat it tomorrow,” Bai Qingqing said.

Parker poked Bai Qingqing’s forehead, speechless. “Stupid, it will have gone bad by tomorrow. Have you ever seen anyone leave their meat overnight during the hot season?”

Holding a hand to her painful forehead, Bai Qingqing felt like crying. Parker, there’s a gap between your world and mine.

“Let’s just keep it. I have a way to make sure it doesn’t go bad,” Bai Qingqing said. She would just have to waste some salt. Preserving meat was not something that could be done frequently.

Parker was still doubtful. But because he had witnessed Bai Qingqing’s intelligence many times, he didn’t insist and only said with a smile, “Don’t cry if it goes bad tomorrow.”

“I won’t.” Bai Qingqing shook her head repeatedly. Because Cortis had been too quiet, she turned her head to look at him and saw Cortis touching his own skin.

“Is it very hot?” Without waiting for Cortis to answer her question, she said to Parker, “I’ve had my fill. I’ll go back with Cortis first. You and Vincent can stay around and eat slowly.”

As Bai Qingqing got up, Parker wanted to follow suit. However, Bai Qingqing pressed upon his shoulders and made him sit on the ground. “You only ate a little. I’m sure you’re not full yet. Come back when you’ve eaten your fill.”

Parker was indeed still hungry, so he could only sit down as he was told. He glanced over at Cortis and saw a provocative look in his eyes.

Despicable! So maddening! He knew he shouldn’t have let this fellow come along. Now things were great. Not only did he miss out on the chance to interact one-on-one with Qingqing, but the snake was also going to have a chance to spend time with her alone.

Looking at their interactions, intense envy could be seen in Vincent’s eyes.

That look in his eyes was way too obvious. One glance at him and Parker read his emotions perfectly.
