Chapter 173 - Confident (1/2)

Cortis swallowed half the food and left the remaining half on the grinding stone. The meat was roasted very quickly, and Bai Qingqing recovered much of her strength. The meat of the hippopotamus was tender, which made it easy to chew for her. It was only after finishing two large bowls of meat that she felt satisfied. Her tummy had swelled up because of how much she had eaten.

Cortis briefly digested the food, then went into the bedroom hugging Bai Qingqing.

“Ah, I look three months pregnant after this meal.” Lying on the pile of grass, Bai Qingqing patted her round tummy.

Cortis transformed into a human and sat down beside Bai Qingqing with an animal skin around his waist. Upon hearing this, he chuckled and laid his large hand over Bai Qingqing’s tummy. “Eat more, so that you’ll give birth to the babies quickly.”

Bai Qingqing smiled at Cortis and asked, “How do you know I’m having your eggs? They say it usually takes a few years to finally get pregnant.”

Although she felt that as a pure human she wouldn’t get pregnant only once every few years, she didn’t think that the chances of her getting pregnant in one strike wasn’t very high either. Cortis seemed very confident.

“I’m a snake beastman, unlike those ordinary beastmen.” Although Cortis’s expression didn’t change much, Bai Qingqing, who was familiar with him, knew that he was feeling a little displeased.

Bai Qingqing laid her petite hand over Cortis’s large hand. Both their hands were very fair, but there was also a healthy pink glow on Bai Qingqing’s hand, whereas Cortis’s hand was deathly pale like a vampire’s.

“Are there really eggs inside?” For the sake of her own safety, she decided to go along with Cortis.

Cortis flipped his hand around and grabbed Bai Qingqing’s warm and petite hand, rubbing it with a loving look. “Eat well. They will grow up very quickly.”

“Mmmm.” Bai Qingqing nodded obediently. She accidentally saw the addition of four pink round-shaped scars on Cortis’s waist.

“Eh? When did you get injured?” Bai Qingqing wanted to crawl up and take a closer look. With Cortis’s amazing healing abilities, he probably incurred this injury when they were copulating.

Parker!

Bai Qingqing thought of him right away. Did Parker sneak an attack on Cortis then? Did they get into a fight?
