I dont believe you, said Bai Qingqing, pouting.

Cortis was electrified by the females adorable expression and liked her even more. He rubbed his face against hers.

All females like children, thats why I wanted you to have more. You might grow to like me then. Moreover, if we mate, eggs might form. It wont do to not lay them.

Bai Qingqing neglected the first part. She wouldnt like snake babies.

As for the latter part the reason Cortis had snatched her must be to satisfy his sexual cravings. Pui, lewd snake!

Then now cough cough! Bai Qingqing continued to act weak. The moist firewood produced a lot of smoke, causing her to cough, and her sickly act appeared even more convincing. Do you still want to mate with me?

I wont, Cortis said decisively. He patted Bai Qingqings back so that she could breathe better. Are you alright? Have some yellow root to feel warmer.

Bai Qingqing finally felt completely relieved. She shook her head and said, Theres no need to cook it by itself. Ill just add a little more yellow root when I cook later.

Alright.

The matter about mating passed by just like that.

The rain continued for two days and only stopped on the third day.

As the sky cleared up, Bai Qingqings suppressed feelings also felt a lot better. She ran out of the cave barefooted, looking for food.

The air had been washed by the rain for two days and felt so pure and clear that there wasnt a speckle of dust in them. It made one feel that even breathing was an enjoyment.

There was fungus everywhere on the moist and fertile land, including the phallus indusiate that looked as if they were dressed in bridal gowns, the wood ear that grew on rotting logs, as well as other mushrooms that grew together in a bunch. There were many more fungus that Bai Qingqing couldnt recognize. They had bright colors and looked beautiful, but were probably poisonous.

Bai Qingqing stood near a batch of fat mushrooms that looked like they had red spots on them wearing a very hesitant expression.

There was a 99% chance that this red fungus was poisonous. As long as she could poison Cortis, Parkers tribesmen, who were in the vicinity, would definitely be able to locate her.

However, what if she were to end up killing him?

Although Cortiss figure was big, and a small amount of poison might not necessarily kill him, the poison found in most fungus were neurotoxins, and the results were hard to anticipate.

Bai Qingqings hands that were lowered by her sides clenched tightly. She was about to squat down when Cortiss voice suddenly rang out from behind her.

This one is poisonous. It cant be eaten.

Bai Qingqing got a huge shock, feeling conscience-stricken. When she turned over, her heart was still beating rapidly. Is is that so.

She secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Since Cortis knew that, then forget it.

Cortis followed behind Bai Qingqing, not leaving her side, feeling thankful that he had followed her. Otherwise, shed be a goner if she were to pluck the mushroom and put it in her mouth, thinking that it looked beautiful.

Are you hungry? Ill go start up the fire for you. Cortis patted her head adoringly.

Bai Qingqing dodged Cortiss big hand, then turned to continue heading forward. Ill look for other fungi. Its so rare to see so many of them that itd be a waste if I dont have my fill of them.

I told you that theyre poisonous. Cortis frowned, feeling displeased. He pulled Bai Qingqings hand and said, Dont be mischievous.

But there are those that arent poisonous. Bai Qingqing understood that Cortis viewed all fungus as poisonous and randomly pointed to a bunch of wood ears, saying, This isnt poisonous. I like to eat it a lot.

Cortis looked over in the direction Bai Qingqings finger was pointing toward. It was true that there was nothing in the legacy that said that anyone had gotten poisoned after eating these pitch-black things. However, it was because no one had eaten them. It was still uncertain if they were poisonous.

Seeing that Cortis seemed to want to prevent her from eating any fungus, Bai Qingqing quickly said, Its fine. Ive been eating wood ears since young and have never gotten poisoned before.

Alright. Cortiss decided to give in. Hed just test it for poison first later on.

Bai Qingqing immediately felt delightful and ran over to pick the wood ears and other fungi happily. She completely forgot the thoughts of wanting to poison Cortis.
