~End of chapter 20

In the settlement in front, the chief’s shouts had already aroused many people. Many more torches were gathered, before scattering in different directions.

Mu Qing could already see seven to eight men coming in this direction.

Her heart was beating frantically, and she no longer struggled. She just took a breath and looked up at Li Mang again. She lifted herself up and pasted her breast, which because of that liquid that had been applied were still swollen and painful, to his upper body.

She revealed a smile to him and then said, “Li Mang, help me, please.”

Chapter 21

(7.2)

Mu Qing voice was somewhat hoarse as she spoke, it was shaking as well, just like her body which was closely clinging to him at this moment.

She tilted her head and her eyes looked at him without blinking, trying to the best of her ability to make appear all of her charms, attraction, and pitifulness.

With no hope of escape, she would rather stay with him for now than be sent back to that chief again.

Mu Qing was glad that she had not smiled at him.

Just now, she had been hesitating whether to smile at him or not.

She grabbed her messy hair, and casually picked, beside her, a thin and soft vine, covered with yellow flowers, using it like a leather band to tie up her hair behind her head. She then followed after him.

Here, the ground was also covered with layers of fallen leaves. Stepping on it felt like stepping on a sponge. Between the crisscrossed roots of the trees, there were blooming flowers with strange shapes and attractive fragrances everywhere. Zigzagging vines were glossy like the body of a snake, but rough like the teeth of a saw. They were widespread, entwined together, hanging from tree to? tree, covered with countless colorful parasite flowers. From afar, it looked like a giant python suspended between several trees, it was absolutely terrifying. Everywhere was green, even the rising sunlight here seemed to be tinted with a greenish halo. It did not look like the real world.

Mu Qing was struggling to keep up with his steps, while also being careful not to be scraped by those sharp, thorny vines.

Little by little, she was starting to hesitate.

It looked like he had brought her back to the side of the forest where the stream was, the one where she had taken a bath yesterday. Further forward, it was his people’s settlement. She was even starting to hear the sounds of women laughing in the distance mixed with the sound of the stream.

Mu Qing stopped in her tracks, her hand held on to a tree beside her as she stared at his back.

Li Mang also stopped in his tracks and looked back at her. He then turned around and walked up to her. Without explaining anything, he pulled her arm and brought her forward.

He was squeezing her a little too hard, and her arm was slightly uncomfortable. She struggled a little, but he did not have any intention of letting go, so she could only give up.

Her heartbeat immediately started accelerating again. What exactly was this man’s intention?
