Chapter 296 - Better Looking Than Curtis (2/2)

Bai Qingqing’s heart was put to ease upon hearing that. Seeing that the air was pretty clean, she walked out, unperturbed. “Don’t worry, there is no dust here. Are you done harvesting the grains?”

“Yup, all done.” Parker looked at her and saw that the scratch marks on her body had lightened. His tight heart finally eased. Very quickly, he detected that the smell of garlic had dissipated. He reprimanded. “Disobedient. I’ll apply chopped garlic on you again later.”

Terrified, Bai Qingqing gazed pleadingly towards Curtis. “Boss, protect me!”

“Okay.” Curtis played along with her and, with his legs transformed into a snake’s tail, leisurely slithered into the main hall.

Parker’s gaze fell upon Curtis’s face, and his pupils shrunk as the highest alert mode within him was triggered.

Why did the snake suddenly become better-looking? Did he eat a transparent crystal? No wonder Qingqing has been so fond of him lately. Detestable. He decided he was going to capture a behemoth himself and become even better-looking than Curtis!

Curtis glanced at the bag of grains and said to Bai Qingqing, “Shall I cook wild grains for you today?”

“Qingqing gets itchy when her skin comes into contact with wild grains. We’ve distributed them to the females in the village.” Parker retorted at Curtis’s words coldly.

Winston also nodded his head.

The anxious Bai Qingqing ran out from behind Curtis and protested loudly. “No! I can eat it! I used to eat wild grains every day. Wild grains are my favorite!”

“Really?” Parker gazed at her skeptically.

Bai Qingqing nodded repeatedly. “Really! Didn’t I recognize the wild grains at one glance? If I didn’t know about wild grains, why would I want to eat them?”

The hesitation in Curtis’s eyes vanished. After casting a disdainful look at Parker, he lifted a bag of grains and walked towards the backyard. “Snow, come over, I’ll cook it for you.”

With Curtis holding the fort, Bai Qingqing was relieved. She jogged to Curtis’s side and said in an embarrassed tone, “This is more troublesome, it needs to be ground into powder before cooking. Let’s not do it today.”

Seeing that the skies had darkened, Curtis said, “Okay. I’ll cook it for you tomorrow.”
