Chapter 131 - The Effects of the Thorny Fruit (2/2)

After lunch, Cortis came up with some excuse to head out of the city to relieve himself but didn’t return even at night.

Parker was preparing to close the door, when Bai Qingqing said worriedly, “Let’s wait a little longer. Cortis isn’t back yet.”

Parker closed the door mercilessly and said angrily, “That fellow must have gone to dig the thorny fruits.”

He felt so aggrieved. Clearly, it was something he used to please Qingqing, yet the snake beastman snatched it away from him.

“Ah?” Bai Qingqing’s delicate brows furrowed as she pouted. “I already told him not to go. It’s so dangerous entering the mountains while it’s raining.”

“Don’t worry about him. He has been living in the mountains all along. There’s no way he’d get into danger.” Parker’s expression became sunny as he spoke. He suddenly rushed up to Bai Qingqing and lifted her horizontally from behind.

Bai Qingqing let out a gasp of surprise. She raised her head and found herself staring at Parker’s face, causing her heart to beat furiously. She pounded on his chest and said, “What are you doing? You’ve startled me.”

Parker walked to his nest with a smile and said, “Finally, there’s only the two of us in the house. I want to sleep with you in my arms.”

Under such an atmosphere, anyone would overthink. Bai Qingqing’s focus involuntarily drifted to her lower body, and her face started heating up. She blocked her arms before her chest defensively and said, “I’m still bleeding…”

Parker’s golden brows furrowed. “This is all that snake’s fault. Aye, I’m in the wrong too. I shouldn’t have let you drink that medicine then. If you didn’t drink that, the child would be born by now.”

1Parker gently placed Bai Qingqing on the most comfortable spot on the grass, then laid down next to her, holding her with his firm arms.

Girls had a much lower body temperature than guys. As he was a beastman and she a human, this contrast in body temperature was even starker. Bai Qingqing felt that Parker’s skin was as scorching as fire, and it felt very warm lying next to him on a rainy night.

Just like the protection and passion Parker had been giving her.

“Actually, I’m not pregnant,” Bai Qingqing said. She kept feeling that it was overboard of her to keep lying to Parker.

Parker didn’t believe a word of it. “If you weren’t pregnant, why did you bleed when you drank the medicine? Don’t lie to me.”
