Chapter 856 - Quicksand River (3) (2/2)

Bai Qingqing reached out to fondle his soft golden hair that was messed up by the wind. She said, “Let’s stop for a while. I’m feeling so hot.”

Curtis immediately stopped. The tiger beastmen caught up, sending sand flying in the air like silk fluttering in the wind.

Bai Qingqing carried An’an and hid in the blankets.

Parker quickly undid the animal skin, and the heat in the blankets quickly dissipated. The dry wind brought away the faint level of sweat on Bai Qingqing. As the water vaporized, the heat was also taken away.

It made her feel as if she had gone from the hot summer season to a stretch of cooling tree shade.

“Ahh! It feels so comfortable!” Bai Qingqing let out a sigh.

An’an moaned twice and started wriggling. Bai Qingqing quickly carried her and turned her back to the tiger beastmen, squatted down, and let her pee.

It was the luckiest thing on this trip that An’an didn’t pass motion on her.

After An’an was done relieving herself, she still had to feed her. Bai Qingqings said, “Parker, you guys can sleep now.”

“That can’t do.” Parker immediately objected. He squatted down next to her and said in a gentle voice, “The sun isn’t too hot now. We’ll rush on our way for a little longer. Take two pieces of jerky first.”

Parker took out two big jerky strips and waved them in front of her.

Bai Qingqing took a look at the weatherworn Parker, her heart aching for him. She stroked his face and asked, “Aren’t you guys tired?”

“No.”

Parker grinned. The golden sand illuminated by the sunlight was behind him, but his smile was more dazzling than the desert, warmer than the sunlight.

Bai Qingqing circled his neck with one arm and planted a kiss on his lips.

“Alright, then. You guys must remember to rest too. Even if you don’t want to rest, you should let the tiger beastmen rest. It’d be bad to let them get too tired.”

Parker smiled and tapped her nose. “I understand.”
