Beauty and the Beasts
Taking the Sky as the Canopy and the Earth as the Mattress, with the Snake Beastman

Bai Qingqing never came out while she was living in the village. This was the first time he had seen the night sky in this world. He thought, Three months! This is not Earth!

Not feeling the movements of the giant snake for a long time, Bai Qingqing lowered her head and glanced at him at a glance. Seeing him open his eyes, he immediately looked back at the sky.

After a while, he lowered his head again. The snake's red eyes were still open this time, and the expression of his eyes seemed identical to before.

He suddenly felt something wrong. Taking a deep breath to vent, he forcefully lowered his head to look directly at the snake's head.

This time, he finally realized what was wrong. At this moment, Cortis' reddened eyes looked slightly blurred, as if there was a transparent layer on top of them. Even though his eyes seemed to be open, he was actually already asleep.

It's a natural protection mechanism, isn't it?

Bai Qingqing sighed in relief. Cortis's asleep. At least tonight he won't hurt her. In order not to wake her up, she decided to sit like that all night.

The night wind carried a cold mist, making people feel cold. The sound of the waterfall was like an effective lullaby the longer it listened to it.

Still wearing wet clothes made from animal skin, Bai Qingqing felt increasingly cold, and her head also felt a little sleepy. With her arms wrapped around her shoulders, her eyelids began to feel heavy. Finally, he fell asleep on the snake's body.

Cortis opened his transparent eyelids and silently looked at Bai Qingqing. After making sure he was sound asleep, he wrapped his body around her.

…

Chirping chirp.

A gentle sunlight drifted into the forest, and the crisp and pleasant chirping of birds could be heard, sounding quite lively.

Suddenly awakened by the chirp, Bai Qingqing leaped into an upright sitting position and realized that there was a heavy and cold object lying on it.

Cortis quickly released it and his upper body turned into a human form. He anxiously asked, “What's up?”

Bai Qingqing widened her eyes as she stared at Cortis' face, pushing her body backwards, yet she was unable to break out of the snake's siege. The more terrifying thing was to feel that he had the body of a round snake between his legs.

Her memory goes back to her — but the reality is more terrifying than the nightmare she had last night. Bai Qingqing suddenly felt a splitting headache. His pale face, upon waking up, became even paler now. Even his lips were dried by the color of blood.

Cortis soon realized that the woman was reacting this way out of fear for herself, making her feel sad.

“Let's go and look for rice today,” Cortis said coldly as he released Bai Qingqing and slid into the lake.

Bai Qingqing bit her lower lip and innocently walked towards the river.

Her clothes had dried up due to her body temperature, but her body felt uneasy. By the time he walked into the river, he felt very tired.

Seeing his reflection in the water, Bai Qingqing could barely recognize herself. The girl who stared back at him looked so weak and innocent, like a baby deer, making people want to protect him.

Since they slept outside, no animals dared to come and eat the food. Therefore, Bai Qingqing went over and took a few bites of cold meat.

Cortis hugged his snake skin, swam to the beach. He then slipped the snake skin under his armpits and wrapped one hand around Bai Qingqing's waist, lifting her up. “Come go to the village to see it.”

To village?

Bai Qingqing's absentminded eyes immediately lit up. The opportunity is here!
