Beauty and the Beasts
Snakes Roasting Meat

Bai Qingqing was speechless. After Cortis left, he soaked his feet in the lake water, wanting to wash away the smell of the snake.

He was afraid of snakes from a young age and did not even dare to step on the place where snakes passed by. He won't even touch the snake steamer soup. But now, he was trapped by a giant snake. To him this was the most terrifying nightmare.

Cortis is back soon. Seeing Bai Qingqing obediently sitting in her residence, an inexplicable satisfaction filled her heart.

“I'm back.”

Bai Qingqing ignored him.

Cortis brought back two white stones and very quickly lit a fire. He then skinned the rabbit and roasted it on the fire. Since the wood used to light the fire was damp weathered wood, the thick, black smoke billowing from it gave off a pungent odor.

Bai Qingqing said, “I'll bet it feels terrible.”

“Then you like to eat what?” Cortis asked seriously.

Bai Qingqing replied intentionally, “I want to eat rice!”

Cortis did not show the slightest bit of displeasure and instead, immediately agreed. “Good.”

Bai Qingqing was shocked. Isn't it said that planting rice easily leads to death? The only time Parker gets mad at him is because of that. How could a cold-blooded homeless animal be so good?

But then again, when he remembered Parker saying that many men had grown rice to please women, he had an understanding of this. Merely, such emotions seemed out of place to the giant snake that kidnapped her.

As the scent of meat gradually entered the air, Cortis extended his hand into the fire wanting to take out a piece of meat but was instantly burned by the fire. With a hiss, he pulled his hand. Obviously, snakes are not suitable for such work.

However, he extended his hand into the fire once more. But this time, using her sharp nails, she quickly sliced and obtained a smooth cut of rabbit meat.

“Eat.” Cortis handed the meat over to Bai Qingqing.

The meat tasted bad — the smell of the smoke was pungent, and with the meat in his mouth, he even felt like smoke was going to come out of his nostrils. However, Bai Qingqing did not say anything. He ate whatever Cortis brought him, until his stomach was filled.

Cortis was startled by eating the little Bai Qingqing. “You only eat a little?”

He rarely came into contact with the other beastmen. Whatever common knowledge and language he knew he had learned from the inheritance in their lineage. But many details are still buried among the information. For example, eat women.

Using his own meal as the standard, he ate about 50 kg of meat for one meal. In his eyes, the few mouthfuls Bai Qingqing had eaten were tantamount to nothing.

Bai Qingqing replied coldly, “I'm full.” He then walked to the river and drank water.

Staring at the grilled meat, Cortis thought, I should find some rice for Xiao Bai as soon as possible. He has eaten very little, I can't let him suffer in terms of taste either.

After he finished drinking the water, Bai Qingqing looked at Cortis in a daze as she stared at the grilled meat. His frugal nature made him ask, “What do we do with this meat?”

Cortis replied, “Leave it. If left out, the animal will naturally come and eat it. “

The sky has become dark. Since there was a large lake, they could see the clear night sky from there.

“Time to sleep,” says Cortis.

Shivering, Bai Qingqing hurriedly shook her head. “No. I want to see the night view. “

Cortis greatly indulged Bai Qingqing's small request. He turned into a snake and curled around Bai Qingqing, forming a circle, then leaned his head on her body and looked at her.

Bai Qingqing felt uneasy looking at the black and red snake skin and a chill spread throughout her body from her pores. He hurriedly looked to the sky — as they said, far from his mind.

Countless stars twinkled in the blue sky. Turns out, there are three “month”. Some are round and some are curved, but all three are different sizes and colors. The largest silver moon is two to three times the moon on Earth. The smallest orange moon is slightly smaller than the one on Earth. The third moon looks the most beautiful in gold
