Ancient Eden

Chapter 97

~End of chapter 96

When Mu Qing reached the outskirts of the settlement, gradually approaching where Li Mang was, she heard a few words sent over by the wind. It seemed as if Li Mang was talking to someone. She raised her head to follow the sound, and saw that that figure was actually Da Wu’s.

Since his return, Da Wu seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, coupled with the fact that he was recovering from his injuries, she rarely ever saw him out of his hut during daytime. Now it was the middle of the night, why would he come here?

Mu Qing hesitated and stopped behind a stump on the side.

(31.2)

Their voices were very low and separated from her by some distance, so Mu Qing couldn’t hear clearly what was being said. But later on, Li Mang appeared to be very agitated, and his voice got a little louder.

“…… won’t allow …… to hurt her ……”

Mu Qing only vaguely heard these words.

Her heart immediately tightened.

Da Wu also seemed to be stunned by Li Mang’s reaction. After a while, he turned his head and slowly left, but his shoulders were slumped and his figure under the moonlight looked somewhat desolate and powerless.

Mu Qing looked at Li Mang and saw that he was already sitting on the ground, leaning against a stump behind him. His head was slightly lowered, and his face was being covered by the shadows, so she could not see his expression clearly. But she could feel that his whole body was tense, and he seemed to be furious.

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment before slowly walking up to him.

His vigilance was always very high. But at this moment, however, he did not even realize that she was approaching. It wasn’t until her silhouette, under the moonlight, was being cast in front of his feet that he was startled, and grabbed in his hand the sharp spear beside him. He only relaxed when he looked up and saw it was her.
