Chapter 177: - Appetite Growing by the Day (1/2)

Seeing Bai Qingqing’s eyes turn teary, Cortis panicked and hurriedly let go of her. “Does it hurt very badly?”

Bai Qingqing rubbed her injured finger on her right hand with her left hand, unable to utter a sound for a moment because of the pain.

Parker hugged Bai Qingqing to console her. “Let me take a look.”

The tip of her fair and slim finger was reddened, with a few deep marks from the bite. After a while, blood started forming on her wound again, exuding a sense of fragility that made one panic.

Cortis was stunned to see the bite marks on Bai Qingqing’s hand. Parker hugged her and consoled her, so he could only stand by and watch helplessly.

Why was it so soft? He had already controlled his strength—it was so much lighter than when he was hunting prey. Yet he still hurt her. The same thing happened in the past—he already thought that he was already being very gentle, yet he still ended up making the female cry.

Cortis felt a deep sense of self-reproach.

Parker’s heart ached immensely. Holding Bai Qingqing by the waist, he lifted her up and placed her on his lap. “Qingqing, sit on my lap.”

Bai Qingqing rubbed her finger—the painful sensation had eased. She then said with a smile, “I’m fine. No need to be so anxious.”

“Hmph.” Parker scoffed as he tightly hugged her and refused to let go.

Cortis calmed down and got up, before saying coldly, “I’m going hunting.” He then got out of the house in the blink of an eye.

At the mention of food, Bai Qingqing’s mouth started watering. She had wanted to wave to Cortis, but when she looked up the snake had already vanished from sight.

Is Cortis angry?

The smile on her face faded. She glumly picked up the bamboo and continued weaving.

Heart aching for her, Parker held Bai Qingqing’s injured hand and said, “You’re injured, stop doing this.”
