Chapter – 78

Whose Eyes Are Watching Her?

Li Qingqing saw that the two cubs were still half in doubt.

She turned her eyes, a sudden idea striking her, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She held out her pinky finger.

“Then let’s pinky swear! If you lie, the Beast God will turn you into a little dog!”

“Okay!” The two little cubs shouted in unison, linking pinkies with her one by one.

Li Qingqing hurriedly walked back, unsure if Ling Mo was still waiting for her.

But she always felt like a pair of eyes were watching her from the shadows.

She looked around cautiously, when suddenly someone patted her on the back.

Startled, she turned—and it was Su Han’s face.

“You scared me to death!” Li Qingqing patted her chest softly.

Su Han hadn’t seen her for several days. Ever since returning from Atlantis, he felt that Li Qingqing had been avoiding him.

“Why are you avoiding me? Is it because you blame me for getting you involved?” His blue eyes seemed clouded, looking at her with a submissive plea.

Li Qingqing didn’t understand why he was acting like this. She stepped back half a step.

“N-No, I’m just a little busy these days.”

She turned to find Ling Mo, but he grabbed her hand.

“But I see you running to Ling Mo’s cave all the time these past days.”

Li Qingqing tilted her head.

“He’s my beast husband, so of course I want to take care of him.”

His eyes dimmed for a moment, as if he were bitterly smiling.

“Yeah… after all, we have nothing between us.”

Li Qingqing had yet to realize his feelings, unaware of why he was acting this way today.

“If anything happens in the tribe, you can come to me anytime. But I have something to handle now.”

She started walking, but he asked suddenly:

“You promised my brother you’d marry him that day. If I asked you, would you agree?”

Li Qingqing paused briefly, continuing to walk.

“That’s all past.”

For her, there was never the concept of marrying anyone—only her choosing a partner.

Ling Mo was still sitting there, waiting for her. His arm had been bandaged with the herbs she collected, and the bleeding had stopped.

She felt a pang of guilt and carefully checked his wound again.

“I’m sorry, Ling Mo. It’s all my fault.” Tears slipped from her eyes, one after another.

Ling Mo was always at a loss when facing her tears. Flustered, he raised his injured hand to wipe her cheeks.

“Don’t cry. I’m really okay.” He forced a smile.

“Your smile is terrible… wah!” She cried louder.

She threw herself into Ling Mo’s arms, taking control of the situation.

[Host’s move is strong!]

Ling Mo’s face turned slightly red, his hands gently stroking her back.

After a while, Li Qingqing, exhausted from crying, looked at him with red, swollen eyes, appearing pitiful.

They stared at each other without a word.

She made the first move, pecking his lips lightly like a chick.

Then things quickly escalated.

Ling Mo’s restrained heart seemed to release at that moment.

He deepened the kiss, and Li Qingqing’s hands naturally went around his neck.

They both started feeling warm…

She looked around—no tree, no cover—this was the first time she had done something so daring.

His hand moved to her waist.

She wanted to lead this little game, straddling him.

About to pull at his clothes, she accidentally touched his wound.

“Ah—” He cried out in pain.

The tension between them dissipated immediately.

Li Qingqing hurriedly adjusted her clothes, got off him, and helped him up.

“Do you want me to take you to the shaman? Maybe he has some medicine.”

Ling Mo, however, seemed to taste something sweet and suddenly realized:

“You are my medicine.”

He leaned in again, lips already approaching hers.

“Brother!” Ling Xiao Tuan’s voice shattered the moment.

Li Qingqing glanced around awkwardly.

“I thought you promised me…” she said, slightly annoyed.

Ling Xiao Yu looked confused.

“But Brother Su Han said you wanted us here for something!”

The little one’s innocent eyes didn’t lie, and she had just met Su Han—he could very well have done it.

Li Qingqing suppressed her anger. Ling Mo, however, silently took note of Su Han’s behavior in his heart.

“Let’s take Brother to the shaman together.” The kids were right; she didn’t want to get angrier.

“Okay!”

Fortunately, Ling Mo’s injury was not serious.

The shaman applied some herbs to his wound, easing the pain considerably.

Li Qingqing was impressed—this was the first time she had met a wound she couldn’t treat herself.

After a while, Ling Mo’s hand could move freely.

They thanked the old shaman.

With the cubs around, neither could act too boldly.

Li Qingqing paused, looking into his eyes.

“When will you open your heart to let me in?”

The moon had risen quietly.

Ling Mo’s hair swayed in the breeze, and for the first time, someone had seen through him.

He opened his mouth to speak, but the cubs’ voices interrupted.

“Brother! Fireflies!”

They looked around, seeing fireflies everywhere, like a scene for a young couple in love. Her heart fluttered.

“Then… I’ll go back first.” She pressed her lips, the night hiding her blushing cheeks.

The green glow reflected on Ling Mo’s face, hiding his expression as well.

She turned happily, and Ling Mo watched her back, smiling faintly as she waved goodbye.

After leaving, she felt uneasy, as if eyes were still watching her.

Not just passing or casual glances, but possessive, scrutinizing eyes.

At the tree hole, it was still dark inside. Today, An Xuan had not appeared for some reason.

This feeling of being watched made her hesitate to step into the darkness.

Gaining courage, she took a step—and a large hand suddenly pulled her in.

“Ah!” she screamed.

The next moment, someone covered her mouth with theirs, silencing her.

This kiss was not Ling Mo’s gentle one, but fiery and domineering.

The scent was familiar, but fear kept her from recognizing him.

“Which do you prefer—my kiss, or Ling Mo’s?”

Li Qingqing lightly punched the person in front of her.

“Xiao Ziye! You want to scare me to death?!”

Before she could finish, his kiss struck again like a storm, giving her no chance to escape.
