Chapter 382 - Untitled (2/2)

“Oh my god, I forgot about this just now. The pine nuts are so small, so how are we supposed to get them out?” Bai Qingqing slapped herself on the forehead. There weren’t any strainers here. Were they going to use fine ropes to weave a net to sift them out?

Muir picked out some pine nuts from the sand and handed them to Bai Qingqing. “Give them a try. See if you like it.”

Bai Qingqing took them, but they were so hot that she threw them away out of reflex.

“Hot.” Bai Qingqing blew at her fingers, then imitated what people did in the television shows and touched her ears. However, her fingers became fine, but her cool earlobes were in pain from the heat.

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Who the hell invented this method of cooling? This was clearly a trap.

Muir quickly walked over and grabbed Bai Qingqing’s hand to take a careful look. His tone was filled with guilt and heartache.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think they were that hot. I didn’t expect that you’d be scalded.”

Muir’s hands were big and hot. In contrast, Bai Qingqing’s hands looked smaller, exquisite, pale, and slender.

Bai Qingqing felt that this pair of hands was more scorching than the pine nuts, and her hand shrunk back. She lowered her head and said, “I’m fine. I want to eat some food.”

Muir flipped Bai Qingqing’s hands to and fro for a few times to check them. After ascertaining that there weren’t even any red marks, he then felt assured and let go of her.

“Eat the big stone fruits first. I’ll get the pine nuts out.”

In this world, pecans were known as stone fruits, true to its name. Bai Qingqing lowered her head and gently nodded. “Thank you.”

…

After another seven days passed by, Parker finally arrived at the Sea Cliff. He could almost smell Bai Qingqing’s scent.

[Qingqing, I’ve come!]

The leopard let out a howl as he leaped out, running fervently even though he was dog-tired and his tongue was hanging out.

“Screech—”

An eagle beastman’s cry rang out above him and he quickly concealed himself.
