Chapter 54 - Picking Mushrooms (1/2)

“I don’t believe you,” said Bai Qingqing, pouting.

Cortis was electrified by the female’s adorable expression and liked her even more. He rubbed his face against hers.

“All females like children, that’s why I wanted you to have more. You might grow to like me then. Moreover, if we mate, eggs might form. It won’t do to not lay them.”

Bai Qingqing neglected the first part. She wouldn’t like snake babies.

As for the latter part… the reason Cortis had snatched her must be to satisfy his sexual cravings. Pui, lewd snake!

“Then now… cough cough!” Bai Qingqing continued to act weak. The moist firewood produced a lot of smoke, causing her to cough, and her sickly act appeared even more convincing. “Do you still want to mate with me?”

“I won’t,” Cortis said decisively. He patted Bai Qingqing’s back so that she could breathe better. “Are you alright? Have some yellow root to feel warmer.”

Bai Qingqing finally felt completely relieved. She shook her head and said, “There’s no need to cook it by itself. I’ll just add a little more yellow root when I cook later.”

“Alright.”

The matter about mating passed by just like that.

The rain continued for two days and only stopped on the third day.

As the sky cleared up, Bai Qingqing’s suppressed feelings also felt a lot better. She ran out of the cave barefooted, looking for food.

The air had been washed by the rain for two days and felt so pure and clear that there wasn’t a speckle of dust in them. It made one feel that even breathing was an enjoyment.

There was fungus everywhere on the moist and fertile land, including the phallus indusiate that looked as if they were dressed in bridal gowns, the wood ear that grew on rotting logs, as well as other mushrooms that grew together in a bunch. There were many more fungus that Bai Qingqing couldn’t recognize. They had bright colors and looked beautiful, but were probably poisonous.

Bai Qingqing stood near a batch of fat mushrooms that looked like they had red spots on them wearing a very hesitant expression.

There was a 99% chance that this red fungus was poisonous. As long as she could poison Cortis, Parker’s tribesmen, who were in the vicinity, would definitely be able to locate her.
