Ancient Eden

Chapter 57

~End of chapter 56

As Yi Jia was about to leave, he found her hidden behind the grass.

At that moment, he could have bet ten snakeskins that he saw panic and fear in her eyes. But almost in the blink of an eye, those emotions disappeared, and she no longer seemed to be very afraid of him.

And without even thinking about it, he blocked her from making an appearance and took Naonao away before she could notice anything.

When he later recalled the actions he did without even thinking at that time, he finally came to the conclusion that he had become interested in her, and the corresponding will to fight also followed along.

Chapter 57

Besides, Yi Jia viciously wondered what kind of reaction Li Mang would have if he knew that this woman who originally belonged to him and that only slept with him, had again been taken away by him? Would this be a blow to his face and self-confidence as the next chief of the tribe? This thought made him feel very excited, and even the blood flow in his veins seemed to increase in speed.

He had always been an energetic person, always full of interest and fighting spirit for unknown and new things. Just like when he was a teenager, wondering what the world was like outside this thick forest. He encouraged Li Mang to hide from the people in the tribe and go out with him to explore.

The two relied on the sharp spears in their hands, and walked downstream for nearly a month along the wide river that ran through the forest, and finally got out of the thick forest. They saw that the river flowed into a vast and boundless open field. There, tribes constantly moved and ran around freely along with the animals that migrated according to the seasons. The people in the tribes told them that if they passed over that field, the river would eventually flow into the abode of the sun god, where the water was as vast as the sky and truly boundless. They had never been there, and everything they heard was the knowledge that had been passed down from generation to generation from their ancestors.

It was at that moment that Yi Jia had the idea of trampling this land under his feet.

Yi Jia saw the woman, who was walking in front of him, suddenly quicken her pace, and when she was about to walk out of the forest, back to the settlement, his heart moved, and he couldn’t hold it back, and he immediately caught up to her.

He grabbed her shoulders hard with one hand, forcing her to turn around to face him, while his other hand had already reached for her chest from behind.

Almost at the moment when she turned around, Mu Qing’s slap had already landed heavily on his face.

“A woman’s underwear cannot be casually taken! A woman’s chest also cannot be casually touched! Here’s a little lesson for you!”

Mu Qing said coldly. She then shook off his hand that was frozen on her shoulder because of his astonishment, before turning around and quickly going back to the settlement.

She was sure that he wouldn’t dare to do anything to her, because the person backing her was Li Mang.

Yi Jia was still in the same position he was before and covered his hot and painful face with one hand, while he looked at her rapidly disappearing back with some disbelief.

He couldn’t understand the words she was saying just now, but he could understand the contempt and disdain in her clear black eyes when she looked at him.

When Mu Qing went back, it was dinner time, and in the open space of the settlement, there was cooking smoke rising from each bonfire. When Naduo saw her, her eyes lit up, and she beckoned her to sit next to her. She said a few words to her, but Mu Qing only caught the two syllables “Li Mang”. She looked around, but did not see Li Mang, so she guessed that Naduo must have said that he had gone to find her.

It was getting dark, and the soup in the crockpot was boiling under the flames, gradually turning lighter. Mu Qing added some water, and then slowly boiled it again. When the firewood turned dark, Mu Qing lifted the lid on the pot to let it cool naturally. When the piping hot soup had cooled off enough that she could finally drink it, she saw Li Mang coming back from a distance. He looked like he had just come out of the woods and was hurrying towards their side.

The light around was a little dim, and from such a distance, she couldn’t see his expression clearly, but she could still feel that the entire person looked a little anxious.

Mu Qing was about to wave her hand at him, when she suddenly remembered that the last time he went out to look for her like this time, when he found her, he looked very angry, and almost broke her wrist at that time. She didn’t know whether he would also lose his temper towards her this time.

She hesitated for a moment, and then slowly lowered her hand that was already raised.

Li Mang very quickly saw her and seemed to be relieved.

To her surprise, when he came over with great strides, he did not lose his temper, but just squatted in front of her, put his hand on her shoulder, and pulled her body in front of his eyes. He then looked at her carefully, with a hint of concern in his eyes.
