Chapter 116: Pork Is Precious

So brutal. They must be wild boars. Actually, that makes sense. Pigs found in nature certainly wouldn’t be like those domesticated by humans over several generations.

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since she had eaten pork. Looking at the attractive pork belly, Bai Qingqing felt her mouth water.

The various kinds of animal meat were all tougher than beef. She had really never eaten such tender meat like pork.

“Then, let’s bring it home and eat it tomorrow,” Bai Qingqing said.

Parker poked Bai Qingqing’s forehead, speechless. “Stupid, it will have gone bad by tomorrow. Have you ever seen anyone leave their meat overnight during the hot season?”

Holding a hand to her painful forehead, Bai Qingqing felt like crying. Parker, there’s a gap between your world and mine.

“Let’s just keep it. I have a way to make sure it doesn’t go bad,” Bai Qingqing said. She would just have to waste some salt. Preserving meat was not something that could be done frequently.

Parker was still doubtful. But because he had witnessed Bai Qingqing’s intelligence many times, he didn’t insist and only said with a smile, “Don’t cry if it goes bad tomorrow.”

“I won’t.” Bai Qingqing shook her head repeatedly. Because Cortis had been too quiet, she turned her head to look at him and saw Cortis touching his own skin.

“Is it very hot?” Without waiting for Cortis to answer her question, she said to Parker, “I’ve had my fill. I’ll go back with Cortis first. You and Vincent can stay around and eat slowly.”

As Bai Qingqing got up, Parker wanted to follow suit. However, Bai Qingqing pressed upon his shoulders and made him sit on the ground. “You only ate a little. I’m sure you’re not full yet. Come back when you’ve eaten your fill.”

Parker was indeed still hungry, so he could only sit down as he was told. He glanced over at Cortis and saw a provocative look in his eyes.

Despicable! So maddening! He knew he shouldn’t have let this fellow come along. Now things were great. Not only did he miss out on the chance to interact one-on-one with Qingqing, but the snake was also going to have a chance to spend time with her alone.

Looking at their interactions, intense envy could be seen in Vincent’s eyes.

That look in his eyes was way too obvious. One glance at him and Parker read his emotions perfectly.

“No matter how you look, she won’t be yours,” Parker said.

Vincent got to his feet swiftly and forcefully, giving off a strong and oppressive vibe.

“Keep a good watch over your female. I’m afraid Hugh didn’t come with pure intentions.”

“Pff.” Parker said disdainfully, “I don’t need you to teach me. No one else stands a chance. Qingqing has said it before, she only wants me and that snake. She doesn’t want anybody else.”

Vincent didn’t reply and simply turned to leave.

Seeing no response from Vincent, Parker lost interest. He continued eating his meat, his mind replaying Vincent’s words.

Hugh didn’t come with pure intentions? What’s Vincent referring to? Is he courting Qingqing because he wants to rope in a four-striped beastman, seeing that Qingqing has a four-striped beastman as a mate?

Very quickly, Parker dispelled this thought. The block-headed wolf tribe couldn’t possibly have thought so much. Moreover, the male would have to sacrifice his lifetime’s happiness to become mates with someone. For Hugh to pursue Qingqing, he must really like her.

The roads were too dark and Bai Qingqing couldn’t see the path ahead of her. In order not to trip on the pebbles on the roads, she took the initiative to climb onto Cortis’s back.

“Were you very bored today? I didn’t hear you talk much,” Bai Qingqing asked softly as she leaned against Cortis’s back.

Sensing the weight on his back, Cortis felt satisfied. A smile could be sensed in his voice as he said, “If I say yes, will you not attend this banquet in the future?”

“Mm…” Bai Qingqing pouted and hesitated a moment. “I’d still like to go. After all, it only happens once a year.”

At the playful age of sixteen, although there was nothing much to play and eat, Bai Qingqing felt it was interesting to merely look around.

“If you go, I will go.” Cortis declared firmly. Especially such gatherings, where he had to be guarded against those descendants of the kings.
