Beauty and the Beasts
A gift from the Snake Beastman

Cortis weaved through the mountains with Bai Qingqing in his arms. Seeing that Bai Qingqing did not have all the strength, she asked worriedly, “Are you hungry?”

Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes and looked at Cortis implying that she was asking the obvious. It was noon and he had not eaten. How could he not feel hungry?

Cortis jerked Bai Qingqing over and placed the rice sack over Bai Qingqing's body. “Then eat this.”

Bai Qingqing looked at Cortis with dull, lifeless eyes. “Are you trying to be funny?”

Cortis said, obviously surprised, “Don't say rice also needs to be baked?”

The speechless Bai Qingqing suddenly felt that the beastmen village was extremely civilized and advanced.

“Do you have any stones?” Bai Qingqing asked.

Cortis replied, “I have one wrapped in my snake skin.”

Okay, there's a fire source. But without the pot, how are we going to cook?

Gazing at the leaves of the plants around them, Bai Qingqing wondered if she could fold the leaves of the huge tree into a pot to cook the porridge inside. Then, he suddenly saw some large bamboo.

“Ay! It can be used! ” Bai Qingqing excitedly exclaimed as she pointed towards the bamboo. “We can cook rice with bamboo!”

“Rice in bamboo?” Although Cortis did not understand what it was, he swam in the direction Bai Qingqing pointed at.

Bamboo grows infrequently, but each bamboo is as thick as the surface of a bowl, making it particularly suitable for cooking rice in bamboo. Bai Qingqing asked Cortis to take her down, and she then tried to break the big bamboo.

“Find me a sharp stone. I'm gonna break the bamboo. “

Cortis laughs. “Bringing them is a simple feat.”

He placed his hands on the bamboo, his transparent nails indistinctly reflecting a sharp light. When he gently sliced through the bamboo with his fingernails, a large hole appeared in the bamboo, and then lost balance and fell to one side.

The dumbfounded Bai Qingqing stared intently at Cortis' nails. Is it the knife?

Bai Qingqing's admiring “ gaze works really well on Cortis. He shook his tail and said, “You like it? Then I'll give you a piece. “

When Bai Qingqing heard this, her heart trembled. Will he witness a bloody scene?

However, Cortis did not continue to pull out his fingernails. He looked down and saw the snake's tail. Then, after carefully choosing, he took out black scales from his stomach as big as a chicken egg.

Be careful, don't hurt yourself. Cortis handed the scales to Bai Qingqing with a faint smile.

Bai Qingqing accepted it, still in a daze. He tried the sharpness of the edge of the scales with his hand, and right then and there, he felt a piercing pain from his finger as a bloody crack formed.

Very sharp!

If he was going to kill himself in the future, he would only use this to slit his throat.

“What are you doing?” Cortis anxiously shouted, grabbed Bai Qingqing's hand and stuffed his finger into her mouth.

His gums were also cold. Bai Qingqing could feel her slender, long and cold snake tongue curling around her finger. He could even feel the part of his tongue branching off. This caused his finger to numb and goosebumps to appear all over his arm.

Bai Qingqing tried to pull on his arm, feeling uncomfortable with Cortis's attention towards her. “I didn't know your scales were so sharp. I won't do it again. ”

Cortis glanced at Bai Qingqing coldly, before releasing his finger. His snake tongue instantly turned into a normal human tongue that could speak. “If there is another time, I will take back this scale.”

Bai Qingqing directly moved the scales behind her back and declared with her head raised. “Because you gave it to me, it's mine now. You can't take it back! “

Cortis' red pupils quickly shrank slightly, his heart pounding.

Women love my scales. Is he starting to like me?
