Ancient Eden-Chapter 95

~End of chapter 94

The only thing Mu Qing could not figure out right now was why that man with the black scar was stopped by Gang Tu when he was about to do something harmful to her.

He clearly said something at the time but she didn’t understand it.

She didn’t think the morality of these people had reached the height of thinking there was anything wrong with molesting or raping a female captive in public.

Which meant there was a reason.

Could it be that Tu Lu had mentioned beforehand to Gang Tu that he was not allowed to touch her? But why did he purposely want…… to protect her? On a daily basis, he had a very cold relationship with Li Mang, and he was even less of a friend to her.

Chapter 95

(30.3)

Mu Qing felt a little confused. But she quickly put this behind the back of her mind. Compared to her confusion about Tu Lu, the fact that Li Mang was being secretly targeted was the most critical matter.

In an ordinary hostage exchange, it was impossible for the other party to suddenly launch a deadly sneak attack after having already achieved their goal. She believed that Li Mang most likely had realized it himself, after seeing the poisoned arrow that day.

But she was still a bit uneasy and felt that she still needed to mention it to him. So that evening, when he accompanied her to fetch water by the stream, Mu Qing used words she had pondered over for a long time to remind him to be careful of Tu Lu, and that Tu Lu wasn’t a good person.

Those were the only two sentences she could say; the rest of what she wanted to say was more complicated, and she could not yet express it.

For the first time, she felt so dejected and impatient about the fact that she couldn’t yet fluently communicate with him, and by the end of her sentence, she even stuttered.

Li Mang listened to what she was saying with great attention at first. He most likely understood her words, for there was a slight glint of light in his eyes. Then he noticed her somewhat reddened face and the gestures she kept making, so he reached out and rubbed her hair randomly to mess it up, and then he started laughing.

Mu Qing brushed his hand away with some displeasure, glared at him, and then gathered her hair with her fingers.

Li Mang laughed even more happily. When Mu Qing saw him extend his big hand towards her again, as if he wanted to mess up her hair again, she hastily dodged it and muttered, “You cannot tell bad from wrong ……”

Just as the words left her mouth, she shut her mouth.

Li Mang put his hand on her forehead and touched it.

This was a sign of gratitude.

It turned out that he was just teasing her, like he had done so many times before. She was happy that he finally listened to her words. Just when she was going to smile at him, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead. He then grabbed the large clay pot on the ground and squatted down to fetch water for her.

She seemed to still be feeling an itchy sensation from his beard that swept on her forehead when he kissed her. Recently she was somewhat addicted to this feeling, so she was always hesitating whether or not to completely tidy up his beard. After all, his current appearance was too far away from her own aesthetic preference.

Li Mang didn’t know that she had her mind on his beard, and started walking back to the settlement with the pot after he was done filling it with water.

For the past two days, it had been Mu Qing who had cooked his food for him. Although Naduo seemed a bit concerned about it and came over from time to time to give her a few pointers when she started the fire to cook, but Mu Qing was very determined.

Since she had already decided to live a good life with Li Mang and be his woman, it was a bit inappropriate to eat meals at someone else’s place for a long period of time. Not to mention that she was secretly hoping that Li Mang could eat the food she would be making for him. Even though the piece of meat she roasted the day before yesterday turned out to be half-cooked, and she spilled half ot the pot of soup she was cooking yesterday into the fire, which almost extinguished the fire as well. But Li Mang didn’t look like he cared, and ate whatever she gave him, with gusto.

Being with a partner who was so easy to feed and satisfy, Mu Qing really became more and more satisfied the more she looked at him.

On the way back with him, she kept thinking about how to cook the fresh mushrooms she had picked today and secretly stashed away, in order to make him proud of having such a good and virtuous wife.

When they got near the settlement, they ran into Yi Jia head-on. He seemed to be slowly walking around the neighborhood by the looks of it. When he saw them, he immediately walked up to them and greeted Li Mang with a smile.

Li Mang stopped and the two started speaking.
