Chapter 850 - On the Road to the Desert (2) (1/2)
Bai Qingqing looked at the golden sand and said, “Why not transform your tail into legs, then I’ll use animal skin to wrap them up. It won’t be scalding that way.”
Curtis continued to wave his tail calmly, smiling, and said, “No need.”
“Alright, then. If you can’t stand it, call for me,” Bai Qingqing said.
“Mm.”
Bai Qingqing’s spine kept on rubbing from the jolting and it felt very uncomfortable. She decided to just lay down on Parker’s back, wrapping her arms around his neck and closing her eyes to rest.
After being in this pose for a while, the leopard under her seemed to have turned into a cradle, and Bai Qingqing fell asleep unknowingly.
At noon, Bai Qingqing was woken up from the heat.
Her back was covered by snakeskin clothing, which helped to release heat. However, her neck, arms, legs, and the back of her head that were exposed felt as if they were going to be cooked.
Bai Qingqing touched the back of her head and immediately gasped.
Her palm was scalded by her air.
Bai Qingqing rubbed her hair messily and then immediately looked worried toward Curtis and An’an.
Curtis’s tail was gleaming in white light from being scorched by the hot sun, making it hard for one to open their eyes to see it. An’an was completely wrapped up by Curtis, and Bai Qingqing couldn’t see her condition clearly.
“Stop for a moment,” said Bai Qingqing, patting Parker’s shoulder.
Howl! Parker ran a few steps more from the inertia before coming to a stop.
Bai Qingqing got off the leopard and stepped on the sand with her bare feet. “Ahh!” She let out a shriek and quickly climbed up onto him.
Parker cooperated and lowered his body, allowing Bai Qingqing to lean on his back.
“Ow ow ow! It’s so hot!” Bai Qingqing rubbed the soles of her feet against each other.
Her feet quickly felt cool as a pair of big hands that felt slightly cold wrapped around her legs, taking away some of the heat.
