Chapter 140 - The Characteristic of a Dog (2/2)

“Don’t worry. I’m your mate. Even if he can defeat me, he dares not kill me.” Parker removed her hand and sat up. “I’ll go and build the shelter.”

“Wait. You’ll get well faster if your bruise is massaged. Hurry up and lie down.”

Seeing Bai Qingqing’s firm attitude, Parker had no choice but to lie down as he was told. It was only after his tummy was massaged until it grew hot that he could escape.

Today, the short-winged bird moved into its shelter.

Cortis had rushed to and fro these few days, so he only woke up after sleeping two nights and one day upon returning.

“Clang! Clang!” The rhythmic sounds of something striking against rock could be heard. Amidst the thundering rain, however, it didn’t appear noisy.

“Ssss—” A red and black snakehead peeked out, pressed against the ground. He flicked out his tongue and accurately sensed where the two of them were at.

Parker was hitting a rock, while Bai Qingqing was sewing a piece of animal skin.

Bai Qingqing had a feeling of being stared at. Her gaze shifted from the animal skin in her hands to her ankle, then suddenly looked towards the door.

Cortis’ head froze.

“You’ve awoken?” Bai Qingqing felt happy to see Cortis. But as she finished speaking, she recalled what happened that day, so she tried hard to hide the joy on her face.

Cortis slithered into the main room.

Bai Qingqing deliberately chose not to look at him. Facing Parker, she said, “Parker, it’s getting late. Let’s cook something to eat.”

“Okay,” Parker said. After hitting the rock for the last time, he set down his tools and wiped his sweat. “What would you like to eat?”

“Fish.” Bai Qingqing had a look of anticipation on her face.

Parker immediately realized that Qingqing was trying to let Cortis have a taste of the steamed fish. He glared at Cortis, before reluctantly walking out.
