Chapter 32: Cortis’s Snake Cave
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cortis wasn’t only fast, but he also had high endurance. His nimble body twisted and curled around the mountains, moving past mountain after mountain.
He finally stopped at a large waterfall at dusk and carried Bai Qingqing into the lake under the waterfall.
Temperatures were lower where there were many trees. Bai Qingqing shivered from the chilliness of the lake water, feeling as though her body temperature was being taken away with the flowing water.
“This is where I sleep,” Cortis said as he pointed at the waterfall. Bai Qingqing had her head lowered and didn’t even glance up when she heard him.
Cortis carried her into the waterfall. Caught off guard, Bai Qingqing screamed out loud. By the time she snapped out of her shock, she found that they had entered the natural cave inside the waterfall.
The cave was around 20 square meters, like a large room, and was actually pretty clean. A pile of soft grass was placed neatly at the innermost area of the cave. However, the place felt very damp, and there seemed to be a layer of mist in the air. Ordinary people would probably fall sick if they were to live here.
Cortis set down Bai Qingqing. Suddenly feeling vigorous, she briskly strode towards the innermost corner of the cave and turned around, staring at Cortis warily.
Was he going to mate with her now?
At the thought of how she was about to be forced into having sexual relations with this giant snake and even had to give birth to plenty of snake eggs, Bai Qingqing would rather die than accept this fate.
As she looked at the snake beastman, Bai Qingqing’s eyes swept over the stone wall next to her, considering if she should just bang her head against the wall and be done with this miserable life.

Cortis merely stared at her coldly, moving his snake body and transforming into human form completely.
Bai Qingqing quickly glanced at his lower body—he indeed had two penises there!
Why two? Is he deformed?
It’s so long. I wonder if the females in this world can accept this. In any case, it wouldn’t do for her. F*ck. She felt even more like banging her head against the wall now.
2Cortis lowered his head following Bai Qingqing’s gaze and looked towards his reproductive organ, a smile indistinctly flashing across his cold eyes.
The female’s reaction was very innocent. Clearly, she hadn’t much interaction with males. At the thought of how this female now solely belonged to him, Cortis was elated, suddenly feeling a sense of belonging.
He hadn’t felt this emotion when he was fighting the leopard earlier. At that time, he merely wanted to first take the female away and was planning on sending her back if she was not to his liking. After all, a female who didn’t have any mates was extremely hard to come by.
Cortis placed his snakeskin gently on the stone ground, resuming his cold disposition as he said in an emotionless voice, “My name is Cortis.”
2Bai Qingqing only shifted away from Cortis, glaring at him and not saying a word.
“What’s your name?”
Bai Qingqing remained quiet.
Cortis narrowed his clear and red eyes slightly, causing Bai Qingqing’s hairs to stand on end. She was feeling tense when she heard him say in a cold voice, “Then I’ll just call you Xiao Bai.”
2Bai Qingqing was speechless.
Bai again. Parker also said before that the name Baibai suited her more.
At the thought of Parker, Bai Qingqing felt her heart clench.
She wondered how Parker was doing. He even vomited blood, so he must have injured his internal organs. Yet, he still maniacally gave chase for such a long distance. What if he had complications from this injury?

“You females need to eat every day, don’t you?” Cortis’s voice jolted Bai Qingqing out of her thoughts.
Bai Qingqing snapped fiercely. “I don’t need you to care for me!”
Cortis’s gaze turned cold and his red pupils shrunk slightly into vertical slits, displaying the coldness and ruthlessness unique to a snake.
Bai Qingqing clenched her hands by her sides, her back pressed closely against the cold stone wall, feeling a coldness spread throughout her internal organs.
Cortis, however, quickly kept away the coldness in his eyes and said blandly, “I’m going to hunt.”
He then transformed into a snake and glided out of the stone cave.
