Chapter 209 - Collaboration (2/2)

Starting a fire with a flint was a chore that required both technical skills and strength. Bai Qingqing had tried many times but failed to succeed in using the flint. Moreover, she wasn’t feeling that well today, so she was too lazy to even try.

“Mm.” Parker roughly rubbed the fox skin using a rotten tree leaf, before washing his hands thoroughly and carrying her back into the house.

The fire started very quickly. Parker transformed into his beast form and ran out and then came back with a rotten stump, burning it with the rest of the firewood. He then tied the fresh prey with vines and hung it from the rooftop.

The smoke from the rotten stump was very intense and dark. As the meat hanging from the rooftop couldn’t touch the fire, it could only be smoked by the intense smoke.

“Will this do?” Bai Qingqing added several sticks of firewood to the fire. She felt that there didn’t need to be anyone watching this fire, for the stump could burn for a long time.

Parker pinched Bai Qingqing’s crumpled face. He saw the corners of Bai Qingqing’s eyes droop down a little, looking as aggrieved as a little puppy. He screamed internally: So so so adorable! How can Qingqing be so fun to play with?

“Just stay nice and warm by the fire and take care of yourself. Do you want to eat roast sweet potatoes?” Parker cupped both hands by her face and caressed it.

Bai Qingqing slapped away Parker’s hand, feeling slightly annoyed. She rubbed her cheeks that had turned red from the pinching. “You think I’m a pig who only knows how to eat?”

Parker had no idea what connection there was between a pig and eating—wasn’t a pig just like any other wild animal? But he didn’t spend too much energy mulling over this question. With a smile, he asked, “Then, do you want to eat?”

“Ooh…” Recalling the fragrant and sweet taste of roasted sweet potatoes, Bai Qingqing nodded and said, “Then roast me one.”

Parker said gleefully, “And you said you’re not a pig.”

She glared at Parker. Parker suddenly edged closer and kissed her on her lips, before getting up with a grin to get the sweet potatoes.

Bai Qingqing froze and felt her heart rate getting messed up, as she raised a hand and gently touched her lips.
