Beauty and the Beasts
Eating Snakes

“Thunder!”

The rumbling of thunder was accompanied by a bolt of lightning, and rain began to fall. Sparks of rain echoed throughout the forest.

A strong wind entered the cave with light rain, blowing towards the flames and causing the light within the cave to flicker.

Challenging the wind and rain, Bai Qingqing lowered the curtains of the vine and also took the opportunity to wash the food with rainwater. When he came back, he was soaked from head to toe.

Cortis stroked Bai Qingqing's hair and said in shock, “Your hair is wet.”

Bai Qingqing stopped in shock at Cortis' words. “Sure to get wet after being exposed to rain.”

“Begilah ..” Cortis turned to the side to look at his own hair, he said, which never turns wet after rain water gets into it — water will just flow into her hair and will dry in an instant. Looking once again at the woman, whose hair was now clinging to each other, her entire head was wet and dripping with water, worry covered her eyes as Cortis looked at the woman.

Seeing Cortis staring at his hair, he could not help but take two steps back. She covered her head and asked, “You couldn't possibly think of cutting my hair, right?”

Cortis replied in earnest, “If not, you will catch a cold.”

That's the problem.

Bai Qingqing was caught between laughter and tears as she crouched beside the fire. “Don't worry, it will dry soon. I never catch a cold because I wash my hair. “

Only after hearing this did Cortis' heart calm down.

Bai Qingqing cooked bamboo rice again today. This time he cut a piece of tiger meat and seasoned it with ginger, garlic, and salt for a bit, before putting it into bamboo filled with rice, then roasting it over the fire.

Looking at the nearly intact tiger, Cortis asked Bai Qingqing, “Is that all you eat?”

“That's it. You can eat the rest, ” replied Bai Qingqing. Then, a question came to his mind: How does Cortis eat? Seeing how scared she was at the hot food, she probably did not eat the cooked food.

Indeed, Cortis transformed back into an animal form, opening his mouth unusually large. His sharp fangs drooled clear as he bit the tiger in one fell swoop, before slowly swallowing it into his mouth.

Just then, a rumble of thunder sounded. It sounded nearby, and there was not even an ann echo. Bright flashes lit up the cave in an instant, and suddenly the cave felt like broad daylight. The huge mouth of the terrifying snake was clearly visible.

The cave became silent again, with the blazing flames blowing in the wind.

Cortis has swallowed half a tiger. Sensing Bai Qingqing looking at him, she looked towards him. Bai Qingqing's body trembled in response and she lowered her head.

When he looked up again, the tiger had already entered the esophagus of the giant snake, creating a large bulge on the snake's body. As he continued to swallow it, Bai Qingqing noticed that the bulge was becoming smaller and smaller.

Scary digestive prowess.

Perhaps the food was distressed in his stomach, like Parker's endless stomach. This was Bai Qingqing's speculation.

Cortis ate for a few minutes before fully swallowing the tiger, after which his eyelids were lowered casually. His body was laid directly in the long cave as he flicked his tongue at Bai Qingqing. “Sss—”

Bai Qingqing gave him a stiff smile, before lowering her head and randomly adding firewood to the fire.

If he saw that scene when he had just arrived, he would definitely faint from shock.

The smell of rice is from bamboo. The starving Bai Qingqing could not wait to take back her bamboo rice.

This time, he had carved a square cover on the bamboo before roasting it, and he only needed to tap on it with a stone before the cover opened.

A fragrant smell was smelled in the air. Bai Qingqing's mouth was watery, and she directly picked up the coarsely made chopsticks and started eating them.

With the addition of meat, the taste of the bamboo rice rose one level. He believed that even by modern standards, the taste of bamboo rice was superior to many restaurants serving the same dish.

This was the most satisfying meal Bai Qingqing had for over a week since she came to this world.

After Bai Qingqing ate it to the brim, Cortis rolled it up with his tail.

His stomach was completely flat now, and the upper part of his body had turned into a human form. With her upper body forming the center of the circle, she wrapped her tail around Bai Qingqing and lay down.

Seeing Cortis fall asleep, Bai Qingqing felt relieved. He found a comfortable spot in his arms and closed his eyes.
