Chapter 83: Contemplating Becoming Independent

Parker then forcefully pried apart Bai Qingqing’s legs and stuffed the cotton into that little underwear made from snakeskin despite her resistance.

Bai Qingqing exploded with anger. After Parker released her, she kicked at Parker’s chest. “Scram!”

As Parker was strong and powerful, not only did Bai Qingqing not manage to kick him away, but she also felt the impact of the counterforce instead.

Parker hurriedly helped her up and said glumly, “Don’t abandon me.”

Bai Qingqing clamped her legs together and turned her head away. “I don’t wish to see you now. Get out.”

Parker remained silent for a good while before he lowered his voice and said, “I’ll go and fetch you water to wash your hands, then go out to hunt. What flavor do you want your barbecued meat to be?”

“Anything,” Bai Qingqing said with her back facing him. However, hearing his footsteps as he left, she didn’t have the heart to let him leave like that. She added, “You need to remove the pricks from your body. Go and have the doctor look at it.”

Parker’s face instantly lit up. He puffed up his strong chest and said, “I’m fine. My skin is thick and I’m not afraid of pain.”

Great, Qingqing still cared about him. He was to be blamed for insisting that Qingqing could only have one mate in the past. Now that she had a mate, she didn’t want him anymore.

Bai Qingqing said nothing. Only after Parker came over with a stone basin filled with water did she wash her hands and say to him, “Come here, I’ll help you squeeze out the pricks.”

There were hundreds of swells on Parker’s body. It had only been a short while, but the swelling had already subsided. Now, there was only a red spot in the center of each swell, with a prick sticking out from each of them.

Parker appeared overwhelmed with honor. He couldn’t bear to reject Bai Qingqing’s gentleness, so he sat down next to her. “You’re truly wonderful.”

“You only got stung because you were trying to find me honey. How could I leave you alone?” Bai Qingqing said grudgingly as she edged closer to Parker’s face and began to pick out the pricks.

Perhaps because Parker really had thick skin, these pricks didn’t go all the way in, and a long section was left outside. Bai Qingqing only had to pinch with two fingers and the prick easily came out.

It took Bai Qingqing about half an hour before she removed all the pricks and applied honey to the spots where he was stung.

“Feels much better.” Like a leopard, Parker shook his muscular body, then rubbed his forehead against Bai Qingqing’s forehead and said, “Qingqing, I’m going out to hunt now.”

“Alright.” Bai Qingqing lowered her body to avoid contact with him.

Parker excitedly transformed into a leopard and went out.

Bai Qingqing fell onto the pile of grass, the painful sensation in her tummy more tolerable now. She began to contemplate her life in the future.

Since there was no possibility of a future with Parker, she could no longer depend on him to take care of her. What did she have to do to become independent in this world?

Plant crops? Even beastmen died from growing crops, much less her, who had no source of food, to begin with. She wouldn’t survive while waiting for the crops to be harvested.

But she couldn’t hunt, either. If she went into the forests, she would likely be eaten alive by the wild animals or be abducted by another homeless beast.

Wait a minute. Fish. She could fish. Perhaps she could use the cooked fish to exchange for other food with the beastmen.

But where was she going to stay?

Just as Bai Qingqing was deep in thought, Parker returned.

“Qingqing, I went to Camel Hump Valley on the way to hunt and brought your bag back.” Parker put on a skirt and, holding a roasted field mouse in one hand and Bai Qingqing’s canvas bag in the other, said with a smile, “Let’s live in the City of Beastmen in the future.”

Bai Qingqing hurriedly said, “Quickly hand me my bag.”

This bag that she brought with her from Earth gave her a warm and familiar feeling.

Parker eagerly handed the bag and food to Bai Qingqing. “Hurry up and eat. You’ve become so much thinner.”

Holding the roast meat in one hand, Bai Qingqing retrieved her palm-sized mirror from her bag, and, after checking out her reflection, said happily, “I do look thinner.”
