Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 551: Generous Curtis

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the very least, from Curtis’ legacy, no male from his lineage had been fortunate enough to receive this.

Curtis took out a piece of snakeskin that had been folded into a neat square from the grass pile. Bai Qingqing’s eyes lit up, and she clearly said, “Give me! Give me!”

Curtis first spread out the dress, but it was taken away just as Bai Qingqing reached out for it. In its place, a piece of tube top the size of a rag appeared.

Bai Qingqing’s face stiffened. “Just this little bit?”

“You can’t wear this anymore, anyway. You can use it,” Curtis said, sounding very generous.

Bai Qingqing felt like crying. How long would it take to filter everything with this bit of snakeskin? It wouldn’t be able to hold much water.

Moreover...

“This is something I wear on my chest! Wouldn’t it feel strange when eating the salt that has been filtered through it?”

Curtis’s and Parker’s faces immediately changed. Both of them had caught the sweet milky scent from the tube top. At the thought of how this scent would be smelled by other males, their expressions turned extremely bad.

Curtis eventually took out the dress, his expression so cold that even Bai Qingqing shuddered. She took it and descended the tree hole.

“It needs to be mixed with water again?” asked Winston as he looked at her.

It hadn’t been easy for them to get this salt, and he couldn’t bear to spoil it.

The group of beastmen who had seen how seawater had been dried up into salt was still fine, but those who didn’t know became extremely angry and irritable.

“No, we can’t mix it with water. How are we going to eat it after it dissolves?”

“Even if it still can be eaten after turning into water, it won’t be easy to store.”

“That’s right. This is already very good!”

Those were the voices from the beastmen who hadn’t gone to dry the salt. Even those who went felt unsure. What if they couldn’t dry the salt after lake water had been mixed in?

Bai Qingqing grabbed a handful of salt and saw quite a few impure particles with just a rough look. She said to Winston, “Trust me, females might not be able to take it after eating these things. Why don’t we try filtering half a bucket first?”

Winston only asked casually. He remained in absolute approval of Bai Qingqing’s idea and immediately said, “Alright.”

As there weren’t enough vessels, Winston could only filter half a barrel first.

He dug out half of the salt from the salt barrel, then added warm water inside. The salt was quickly dissolved.

The saltwater produced after dissolving the salt looked no different from clear water. Bai Qingqing added more salt. With a higher concentration, it’d be easier to dry again after the filtering.

After washing Curtis’s snakeskin, animal skin rope was used to tie up the collar and sleeves tightly. The loose dress hem was laid out on the edges of an empty stone bucket.

The saltwater was poured in, and the rate at which water passed through the snakeskin was so fast that it was almost impossible to see by the naked eye.

However, they could hear the sound of water dripping into the stone bucket.

After the water poured into the snakeskin had settled down, a layer of sand and fine impurities like mulch was left on the snakeskin.

It hadn’t been so clear that there were so many impurities when the salt was in a solid state, but after the filtering, everything was very clear.

The beastmen who had insisted on their objection calmed down after seeing the impurities in the water. They stopped their pleadings to the tiger king.

Bai Qingqing stared at the water with great focus. She felt a strong sense of achievement after seeing that those things had been filtered out.

“I didn’t expect there to be so many impurities. It seems that there really is a need to filter it,” Winston said.

“En, it should be fine after one round of filtering.” Bai Qingqing nodded.

In the time they waited for the saltwater to be filtered, Winston sent tiger beastmen to pick a few large rocks to make a few small-scale salt evaporation ponds.

The salt evaporation ponds were about half a meter tall and only about the size of a tree hole. After a bucket of saltwater had been filtered, they were poured into the salt evaporation ponds and then brought to the Flos Eriocauli field, where there was direct sun exposure, to dry.
