Chapter 177: - Appetite Growing by the Day (2/2)

“It’s alright, I just need to be more careful.” Bai Qingqing lowered her head and looked at the round bamboo plate. Suddenly, she felt like it was a pretty good idea to use this as a nest for the snake babies. Also, she could take the chance to please Cortis.

Ooh… is it big enough? As the baby snakes grow in size they likely won’t be able to sleep in it anymore.

Just as she was deep in her thoughts, Parker grabbed the thing Bai Qingqing was holding and tossed it aside. “Be good. Continue with this after your wounds have healed.”

Bai Qingqing reached out to grab it but didn’t manage to, so she had no choice but to agree. “Alright.”

Cortis was gone for a long time, and he only came back when it had turned dark. This time, he captured a plump and sturdy wild boar.

Bai Qingqing had long started feeling hungry. At the sight of meat, her eyes lit up. Parker was very happy about the wild boar Cortis hunted as well. He took the initiative to handle this prey and whipped up a tasty meal for her out of it.

Both Cortis and Parker couldn’t bear to eat the remaining meat, so they preserved it for Bai Qingqing to slowly consume by herself.

From this day onwards, Bai Qingqing’s appetite went up steadily—from the usual two meals a day, it grew to five meals a day three days later. Moreover, the only thing she ate was meat, consuming an alarming amount of calories per day.

After another meal where she was stuffed to the max, Bai Qingqing felt like her belly was about to burst apart. Barely breathing, she laid slumped on the grass nest.

She was truly worried that before she could give birth to the snake babies, she might die from being too fat or something.

Parker was getting anxious seeing Qingqing’s appetite grow by the day. Her belly seemed a little puffy today as well. He spun a few rounds around her and roared.

“What’s the matter?” Bai Qingqing cocked her head sideways and looked at Parker, feeling devoid of strength.

Parker walked to Bai Qingqing’s side and, edging his nose close to Bai Qingqing, sniffed her.

Bai Qingqing reached out to cover Parker’s nose and shifted backward, dragging her heavy body. She said with a reddened face, “What are you doing? Pervert!”

With his four limbs on the ground, Parker transformed into a human and gazed at Bai Qingqing. “Has that part of yours healed?”
