Ancient Eden

~End of chapter 92

Mu Qing couldn’t resist letting out a whimper of pain when she stood up.

Yesterday had been so tense that she didn’t feel it. She was only noticing now, after the night’s rest and mental relaxation, that her feet were actually bruised all over and were so painful that she simply didn’t dare to step on the ground.

Li Mang supported her and squatted down to check her feet.

Her originally delicate pair of feet were now in a tragic miserable state, with scratching marks everywhere, and extremely swollen soles.

He didn’t let her take another step, and kept carrying her on his back as he walked in the direction he came from.

Chapter 93

At dusk, they found a place to settle down by a stream they came across. While Mu Qing was very happily taking a bath, scrubbing her clothes to clean them and spreading them out on a pile of rocks to dry, Li Mang was already roasting the fish he had caught in the water, with a sharpened stick, on the fire he had just set up. 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶

Smelling the charred smell of the fish, Mu Qing realized that she was now extremely hungry, and that she had already long since digested the wild fruits she had eaten during the day.

Li Mang’s fish was deliciously grilled. Although there was no salt, it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and Mu Qing ate several of them in one sitting.

At night, they spent the night among rocks by the stream, where there was a flat indented place, covered on all sides by higher rocks, and which didn’t feel bad to lie down on.

Mu Qing’s feet were covered in herbs that Li Mang had found and mashed up, they felt somewhat cooler and already much more comfortable.

Being intimate while being pressed against a hard stone surface wasn’t a very comfortable thing. Mu Qing evaded him for a while, but was unable to resist his passionate attack, and was defeated again and again.

But she figured out a more favorable solution for herself.

She pressed Li Mang down while she herself sat on top of him. This way she had a thick cushion of flesh.

Li Mang was very happy to be her flesh cushion. While he held her slender waist and hips with both hands, holding her up like a leaf in the wind constantly swaying, this position also allowed him to enjoy the beautiful scenery of her chest.

He felt that he was already possessed, intoxicated by the fascination she was bringing him, and had now become somewhat unable to extricate himself.

One thing that Mu Qing finally learned was that this was actually the most exhausting position for her. Because at the end, she felt her legs had become so sore that she couldn’t support her own weight, and couldn’t help but want to rest on him, but he didn’t let her go, tightly gripping her waist, and forcing her to raise and lower herself again and again.

She surrendered, and finally allowed him to press her down to ride her as he wished. It was less tiring that way.

When she finally went to the stream to wash her body again, her legs gave out and she almost fell to the ground, so in the end he was the one who carried her there and back.

She liked the feeling of being held by him more and more.

She didn’t think she could be apart from him anymore now.

They returned to the settlement at dusk the next day.

They could have returned earlier, but both seemed a little reluctant to return and put on end to this trip where they could leave everything behind for the time being, so neither of them rushed on the road, which delayed the time a little.

Everything looked the same as before, yet it also looked as if something was different.

Aside from Naduo and Youyou’s smiling faces still being as genuine as ever, everyone else here was looking at him and Li Mang with different eyes. Especially at her.

She felt that the friendly relationship she had managed to build up with them some time ago had all of a sudden regressed back to what it had been when she first arrived, if not worse. The women were once again scolding their children and not allowing them to find her to play. She was no longer needed for the counting of the fruits when they were being collected either and they preferred to wait in line while complaining.

She felt a little desolate. More than anything, she looked forward to the night. At night, Li Mang would be by her side and would hold her as she slept, which made her feel much more at ease.

In just a few short days, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the communication between her and Li Mang had become much smoother. Not only was she already able to express most of what she meant to say in very simple phrases, but even the words he was saying, even if she could only catch a few of the syllables, she could still understand about eighty to ninety percent of them.

She felt that their hearts had become much closer all of a sudden.
