Chapter 76

(24.4)

Mu Qing was so tired that she didn’t want to move anymore, she just closed her eyes and buried her face in the nook of his neck, until she felt one of his hands on her soft waist, and then moving up to remove a strand of long hair from her sweaty cheek.

She opened her eyes and met Li Mang’s gaze.

She opened her eyes and met Li Mang’s gaze.

She had seduced him and made him do exercise that would yield no result. But she could see that, at this moment, his eyes were full of tenderness and love.

Mu Qing felt the same, although she was now so tired that she just wanted to sleep in his arms.

Mu Qing learned the next morning the consequences of Eve tempting Adam to sin.

It might be because last night when she wrapped around him, her feet were too tense, but now her right ankle was all swollen and painful, like a piece of puffy bread.

When Li Mang just woke up, he seemed to not dare look at Mu Qing, he looked like he was slightly blushing from embarrassment, or was it regret? For losing control last night? Mu Qing guessed. But after hearing her groan and seeing her ankle, he was obviously startled, and he sat up with a start, anxiously pressing on her ankle.

Mu Qing was very much in pain when he pressed on her ankle, and she also liked to see him being out of his wits from concern for her, so she let out loud groans.

Li Mang soothingly stroked her head, put on his animal skin, turned around and flew out.

Mu Qing knew he went out to get medicine for her again, she stopped groaning, got up and put on her clothes, and then sat there, waiting for him to come back.

It took nearly ten days for her ankle to heal. Except when he was out during the day, Li Mang stayed with her as soon as he returned, taking care of her in every way. Mu Qing even forgot what it was like to walk.

When she could finally walk normally, the days were gradually getting shorter, and although she didn’t feel much difference at noon, the mornings and evenings were already turning a bit cooler. The jungle was full of wild fruits.

Autumn was here.

The men of the tribe took advantage of the season to increase the amount of hunting outings. Mu Qing also followed the women of the settlement all day long outside to collect fruit and wild vegetables, bringing them back to dry, and then storing them in a cellar, where dried meat and dried fish were already being stored. More food was continuously being stored in. The people here were quite smart, they knew how to dig a deep cellar, which they sprinkled with dry, fine soil and ashes to absorb moisture, in order to preserve their food.

They were already starting to collect food, warm furs and firewood for the coming winter.

Mu Qing’s heart was somewhat conflicted as she saw Li Mang leave early this morning as usual.

She was yet again at the peak of her danger period. Although she didn’t allow Li Mang to smell her there, he seemed to be acutely aware of the changes in her body. So last night when he asked for s*x just like he had done the previous nights, she refused him.

He looked very depressed, wondering why she was fine before, even going as far as to seduce him, but now was refusing him.

This morning, when he left, he carried a look like his appetite had not been satisfied. Although there wasn’t any displeasure on his expression, but she could see that he was a little at a loss, and when he parted with her, he had an unreconciled look that was saying “don’t even think about escaping tonight”.

Should she get ready to get pregnant for Li Mang now? Now that she knew that she could no longer go back to her original world.

Mu Qing sighed. Leaning by the curtain of the door, she remained in a daze for a moment.
