Chapter 221 - Dont Freeze That Thing (1/2)

Bai Qingqing gazed around and said, sounding disappointed, “What kind of edible plants are there here? Surely I can’t eat wood?”

“Roar!” Parker dug into the icy ground and indicated for Bai Qingqing to come down.

Although Bai Qingqing understood that, she didn’t move. “Let’s go into the bamboo groves. Perhaps we might find winter bamboo shoots.”

She then swung her legs by Parker’s waist. Parker instantly howled: [Don’t kick my tummy.]

“What did you just say?”

Parker puffed out air from his nostrils and scolded with a smile in his heart. Stupid female. But that also meant that Bai Qingqing seldom sat on males—a fact that made Parker feel secretly pleased and made him run even faster.

In this withered world, only the bamboo groves—with their yellowish-green hues—showed some signs of vitality.

Bai Qingqing happily jumped down from Parker’s back. Underneath her feet were hard and solid ice blocks; the small ones were as big as a fist, while the larger ones were the size of a winter melon. Walking on them felt terrible on the feet.

Bai Qingqing cautiously walked two steps, then said, “Try digging here.”

Parker shook his fur and transformed into a human, then stood up and walked up behind Bai Qingqing and said in an astonished tone, “Are you going to eat bamboo?”

Only the bamboos were still green in the forests; there was indeed nothing else edible. Parker started reproaching himself for his lack of understanding of the ape tribe, for making Qingqing have to resort to eating those tough bamboo.

The plants that Qingqing ate also had to be cooked. How was this bamboo to be cooked? They had to be cooked to a softer texture, else she definitely wouldn’t be able to chew something so tough.

“Bamboo that has yet to grow out is very delicious.” Bai Qingqing looked up at him as she spoke and suddenly realized that Parker was now taller than the first time she met him. She recalled that back then, her head reached Parker’s neck. And now, it only reached Parker’s armpits.

Now that she looked closely, Parker’s chest had also become much more muscular. As her gaze continued trailing downwards, Bai Qingqing’s eyes widened into round circles.
