Bai Qingqings eyes felt sore, and she almost cried. She said sobbingly, Im sorry.

Cortis hugged Bai Qingqing, kissing her tearing eyes, sucking away the moisture gently. Its fine as long as youre alright. Ive spoiled your food. Ill be very happy as long as youre not mad at me.

How can you be so foolish! Bai Qingqing glared at Cortis, not appearing threatening at all. After seeing the red scald marks on his chest, she gently pushed his chest and said, Let me go. Let me take a look at your wounds.

Cortiss scales were tough. His flesh wasnt scalded even though he had rolled over the fire. It was just that a large area of his skin near his waist had turned red and was slightly wrinkled.

Cortis threw a casual look at his body and said, Im fine. Ill recover very soon.

Bai Qingqing had wanted to help Cortis to take care of the wound, but she didnt recognize medicinal herbs. She seemed to recall that scalded wounds shouldnt come into contact with water either, and the heat on the wound must be allowed to scatter. Right now, the best way of dealing with things was to no take care of it at all.

Bai Qingqing thought to herself, her heart aching,The males in this world are too foolish. Wont they get angry? Didnt they say that homeless beasts are abominable?

But she felt that Cortis, a homeless beast who was planning to become a r*pist, seemed better than 80% of the men in the modern days.

Cortis took Bai Qingqings hand and returned to the cave. Ashes were scattered all over the ground, and it was difficult to walk around.

You stay outside. You can come in after Ive cleaned up the place. Cortis instructed her.

No need. Ill clean up together with you. After saying that, Bai Qingqing plucked a few bunches of grass, putting them together to sweep the ashes.

Seeing that the females way of cleaning was very safe, Cortis didnt say anything. He also looked for a tool to clean up the floor.

Aiyah! Bai Qingqing suddenly let out a cry and propped up her leg to take a look at the bottom of her foot.

Cortis immediately threw aside his cleaning tool and carried her up by the waist, asking anxiously, You were scalded?

Bai Qingqing smiled shyly. I only stepped on some firewood thats a little hot. Its already extinguished and isnt really that hot.

Cortiss face turned cold, feeling displeased. He carried Bai Qingqing and walked out of the cave, placing her on a rock. After checking that there werent any wounds on her foot, he said solemnly, Stay here and dont move. Otherwise Ill kiss you.

Bai Qingqing, who hadnt thought much of it in the first place, immediately behaved herself, nodding. Alright, I wont move.

Cortis felt a little disappointed. Did the female dislike him kissing her that much?

Before he turned away, Cortis quickly planted a kiss on Bai Qingqings lips, then moved away.

Hooligan beastman! Bai Qingqing rubbed her lips vigorously but didnt dare to go down. Her gaze landed on the wood ears that were drying out at the caves entrance.

Why was the fungi soup poisonous? She had only put in white mushrooms and wood ears. Could it be that all the fungi in this world were dangerous?

Bai Qingqing felt that this was highly unlikely. Then, there was only one possibility. She had recognized the wrong breed. The poisonous one must be the white mushroom.

Wood ears appearance wasnt too unique, and it was impossible to mistake them. The white mushroom, on the other hand, had a more generic appearance. It could be that she had mixed up a type of poisonous mushroom with the white mushroom.

Cortis helped Bai Qingqing to cook the rice again before bringing her back in.

Bai Qingqing couldnt bear to give up on the wood ears outside the cave. She lowered her head, saying softly and hesitantly, I still want to cook the wood ears.

Cortis said without any hesitation, If you wish to eat them, then cook it. Ive eaten two types earlier and have no idea which is the poisonous one.

Bai Qingqing immediately shook her head. No, no, no. Ill test it out myself. Or you can catch a rabbit or something to test for poison.

There arent any animals that eat this. Cortis smiled, not disputing with Bai Qingqing. He just waited for her to finish cooking the soup again and ate a piece of the wood ear before she did.

Bai Qingqing felt touched and didnt refuse Cortiss kind intentions. She sat at the side and waited.

As expected, the wood ears werent poisonous. After getting Cortiss consent, Bai Qingqing finally had a bite of the fungus. However, the taste wasnt as good as she imagined it to be, and she couldnt really discern the taste.
