Chapter 281 - Curtis the Roadblock (1/2)

Parker quickly finished showering, then went up to the highest level.

The little snakes had already been tossed to the fifth story by Curtis. Fully transformed into his beast form, Curtis laid at the entrance of the staircase on the highest level, blocking Parker’s way as the latter walked by with a water basin in hand.

“Give way,” Parker said urgently.

Without so much as sparing him a glance, Curtis closed his transparent retinas and started snoozing, as though he was completely unaware of Parker’s existence.

Parker huffed softly and tossed the water basin forward. Following that, he lowered his upper body and sprang outwards on his hind legs. A moment later, Parker landed steadily in front of Curtis. Raising his hands, Parker accurately caught hold of the water basin spinning in the air.

Water splattered out of the water basin.

Parker cast a sideways glance at the snake beastman, and before he turned around, his lips curled up in a smile.

“I’m back. You can take a shower now.” Parker set the water basin beside the nest and gazed at Bai Qingqing in anticipation.

Bai Qingqing responded with an “mm”, before her eyes darted around and she asked in a hushed voice, “Is Curtis there?”

With a twitch of his mouth, Parker replied, “He’s on the corridor.”

Bai Qingqing felt immense stress.

After quickly cleaning her body, without waiting for Parker to pounce on her, she instantly wrapped herself with a blanket.

Parker set the water basin aside and said as he tugged at the blanket, “Why are you still cooped up inside the blanket? Don’t you feel hot?”

“Nope.” Tiny droplets of perspiration had formed on Bai Qingqing’s forehead as she replied to him with a poker face.

Taking her word for it, Parker squirmed into the blanket and wrapped it around the two of them firmly, before crawling onto Bai Qingqing’s body. Only two heads were exposed outside the blanket.
