“Aye!” Bai Qingqing let out a cry of surprise. She swung her legs, wanting to slide down from Cortis’s body. “There’s fungus here. Cortis, hurry up and let me come down.”

Cortis held Bai Qingqing even more tightly and said sternly, “You’re going to catch a cold.” He then cast a glance at Parker. “You go pick it.”

Parker shifted both shoes to one hand and walked to the spot Bai Qingqing was pointing at. He asked with uncertainty, “Qingqing, you sure you want to eat this?”

“Yes, yes.” Bai Qingqing nodded repeatedly. She felt like Cortis was treating her like a child. She grabbed his arm and pleaded. “I’m not going to get sick. From the time I was a child to now, the number of times I’ve fallen sick is countable on two hands.”

Cortis gazed at Bai Qingqing, and she saw the disbelief in his eyes. Her face fell. Well, right after she was abducted by Cortis, she fell severely ill. But that was because she was in a cold state for too long, okay?

Parker tugged at a black piece of fungus, placed it in his mouth, and chewed it. Immediately, he spat it out. “Qingqing, this tastes awful.”

1Looking at the chewed piece of fungus, Bai Qingqing said with an aching heart, “Don’t bite it. You can only eat this after cooking it.”

“Is this really edible?” Parker still didn’t quite believe her. Still, he obediently started plucking the fungus. Under Bai Qingqing’s strong request, Parker gave up the large tree leaves found everywhere on the mountain and tossed the fungus into the basket he was carrying with a constipated expression.

Some mushrooms were hidden among the rotten tree leaves. As Bai Qingqing was unable to get on the ground, she asked Cortis to help her snap a tree branch for her to poke at the tree branches along the way. Shortly after, she discovered a nest of pearl oyster mushrooms.

With a phobia of such white mushrooms now, Bai Qingqing subconsciously glanced at Cortis.

“You want to eat this?” Cortis halted in his tracks considerately and said to Parker, “Pluck this.”
