Chapter 43 - Making Clothes from Snakeskin (2/2)

The air in the natural grotto was refreshing. It wasn’t wet and muddy like the lake, and it wasn’t humid and stuffy like the cave at the waterfall. This was the most comfortable nest out of all of Cortis’ nests that Bai Qingqing had seen.

However, she was immediately on the alert. Without another word, she walked to the innermost part of the nest, far away from Cortis.

She hadn’t forgotten the reason why a homeless beast would catch her. It was most dangerous once she arrived at the place he lived in.

Cortis unloaded their belongings one by one and beckoned to Bai Qingqing. “Come here.”

“What for?” Bai Qingqing stared at Cortis nervously.

Cortis frowned. Why did Xiao Bai suddenly keep her guard up against him again? The legacy was right. The heart of a female was like a needle in a haystack.

Cortis was silent as he was a man of action. Seeing that Bai Qingqing didn’t move, he swung his tail and pulled her over to his side.

Frightened, Bai Qingqing pushed her hands against Cortis’ icy-cold chest. “What are you doing?”

Cortis replied, “I’m making you new clothes.”

“New clothes?” Relief washed over Bai Qingqing. “But you don’t have animal skin.”

The moment the words left her mouth, she realized something—didn’t Cortis have a perfectly intact snakeskin? Snake beastmen gave those to their mates.

Bai Qingqing quickly shook her head. “I don’t want it! I’ll just wear this.”

If Bai Qingqing was honest, she was extremely tempted when she first saw the snakeskin. Even modern people would find it attractive. However, that temptation completely disappeared once she found out that it was the skin of a snake beastman.

Just touching it frightened her, let alone wearing it.
