Chapter 245 - Baby Snakes Squirming into a Bowl of Steamed Egg (2/2)

Bai Qingqing touched the stone pot of steamed eggs. Sensing that the temperature was just right and didn’t even require her blowing upon it, she revealed a satisfied smile. She was prepared to continue feeding it to the baby snakes when a ball of black and red something flashed before her eyes and fell into the steamed egg.

“Ah!” Bai Qingqing shrieked loudly.

“Let them eat by themselves,” Curtis said.

The baby snakes instantly squirmed into the warm steamed eggs, looking so excited it was as though they had entered an amusement park. Shortly after, the golden steamed eggs became full of holes—there was a wavy texture on the surface, but the snakes were nowhere to be seen.

It was like a pot of braised tofu with loach![1]

Bai Qingqing pinched her stiffened face and turned her stiffened neck towards Curtis. “Aren’t you afraid they will be scalded to death!?”

Curtis calmly continued eating. “I’ve tested the temperature.”

“When?” Bai Qingqing also knew that the interior of the pot wasn’t extremely hot. But Curtis didn’t touch it either. If it was scalding, the baby snakes would probably get injured!

Curtis flicked out his slim and long tongue, the part where it forked gliding up and down.

“Using this.”

“Err… oh.” Bai Qingqing was still somewhat dubious. Please forgive her for not having learned this despite having watched plenty of episodes of Animal World.

The steamed eggs were evidently disappearing, and with that, a larger part of the baby snakes’ bodies got exposed. Until finally there was only a layer of snakes covering the bottom of the pot, slithering around and biting the bits of steamed egg.

Bai Qingqing couldn’t resist opening her mouth. What a voracious appetite. Moreover, they don’t look like they’re full yet?

“Qingqing, time to eat.” Parker wiped his eyes that were getting fogged up by the oil and smoke. A vibrant smile appeared on his face, now that he finally got a chance to speak with her.

Bai Qingqing said, “Can you steam another pot of eggs for the baby snakes?”
