Chapter 28 He smelled bad again
Watching the female in front of him eat with relish, a dark glint flashed in his deep gray eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
He then took a deep breath, stood up, and said in a low voice, "Eat early and get some rest. I'm going back now."
"Okay, take care on your journey and be careful on the road."
She ate while looking up at his retreating figure, not noticing the expression in the man's eyes.
After finishing her meal, Shu Ning decided to sort out her thoughts.
These past two days she's been busy finding salt and teaching everyone how to start a fire, and hasn't paid attention to her figure or face.
She currently weighs around 200 pounds, and as for her face...
Shu Ning touched her cheeks and seemed to no longer feel the pitted pimples.
It seems to be recovering well.
I realized I hadn't showered for several days because I hadn't gotten my back wet due to an injury, but it's finally much better now.
He sniffed himself from side to side to check his own scent.
Ugh, it smells bad again.
Shu Ning frowned.
She's always so close to Xiao Chong and the others, and he doesn't mind at all.
Thinking of this, she awkwardly rubbed her forehead.
I need to take a shower.
She planned to take advantage of the night while everyone else was asleep to wash up properly. Anyway, she now had the ability to teleport, so she could come back immediately if there was any danger.
Having just finished dinner, she planned to take a walk to digest her food.
At night, wolf howls could be heard from several hilltops in the wolf tribe's territory from time to time, the meaning of which was unknown.
Like... courtship?
Shu Ning chuckled at her own thoughts and continued on her way.
Looking at the night sky, the moonlight is bright, and fireflies dot the forest.
She couldn't help but sigh at how wonderful it was to have an undisturbed natural environment. Having lived in the concrete jungle of a big city, she hadn't seen fireflies for a very long time.
The night scene was like something out of a fairy tale, captivating her and making her admire its beauty.
Now, walking through the forest at night, even though she's still a little scared since she gained the teleportation ability, it makes her feel even more excited.
Before she knew it, she had arrived at the riverbank. She took out a three-in-one soap and a bath scrubber from her spatial storage, took off her fur skirt, washed it clean, and put it aside. It didn't matter if it didn't dry soon; she had other things in her cave.
After washing, she slowly stretched her feet into the river.
The river water was icy cold at night, giving her an instant sense of clarity.
Despite having the ability to teleport and the moonlight, the pitch-black river at night still gave her an inexplicable sense of fear.
As Shu Ning watched the moonlight reflected on the river's surface and float with the flowing water, she unconsciously quickened her bathing pace.
Soon, bursts of white foam floated on the water's surface.
She was so engrossed in washing that she didn't notice a crooked shadow rapidly approaching her from the depths of the river.
Suddenly, with a "whoosh," a huge, elongated figure burst out of the water.
Shu Ning was startled by the tall figure that suddenly appeared in front of her. Her legs went weak, and she accidentally fell into the deep water in front of her. She couldn't swim and panicked. Her first instinct was to float up as soon as possible, but the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.
She completely forgot that she had the ability to teleport, just like people who have watched countless videos on their phones about how to save themselves but still can't react when they actually encounter drowning.
Mo Li frowned. He hadn't expected her to appear here, and he'd even startled her.
Watching her sink rapidly to the bottom of the water, his eyes turned cold, and he quickly dived into the water.
Just as the dragon's body was about to touch her, it suddenly transformed into human form, reaching one hand over her waist and the other around her legs, lifting her up from the water with a powerful effort.
The moment he rose from the water, water gushed down his strong, powerful body from both of them.
His fair muscles clung tightly to the water, water droplets trickled down his wet hair and sculpted cheeks, his wet eyelashes parted slightly, and his thin lips parted as he breathed, making him appear even more sexually stimulating.
When Shu Ning felt she had been rescued, she immediately and instinctively clung tightly to the man's body as if grasping at a lifeline.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
She choked on the water and coughed violently. Then she opened her eyes and vaguely saw the man's cold face and his strong body. She felt the touch of his smooth skin and was immediately amazed and shy.
My face felt hot in waves, turning red all the way to the back of my ears.
Suddenly realizing that she was completely naked, she instinctively let go of her hands and covered her chest.
It's better not to let go, because once you let go, you'll be exposed.
Realizing what had happened, she buried her head in the man's chest again.
Good heavens, she's completely disgraced herself; she just wants to crawl into a hole and never care about the world again.
When Mo Li felt the changes in her body's contact with him, an inexplicable sensation coursed through his body, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
He frowned slightly, looked down at the female in his arms, and felt that she seemed to be much lighter than before.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with her acting this way; on the contrary, he was glad that he was the one who saved her. If it had been someone else...
A surge of irritation welled up inside him, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly growled, "Don't do that again!"
Shu Ning was bewildered by his sudden change.
Whatever.
Did you choke on water?
Thinking about this, she got angry.
If he hadn't suddenly appeared, would she have been so frightened that she drowned and choked on water?
She almost lost her life just now!
He's now talking about her in reverse.
Shu Ning grew angrier the more she thought about it, but dared not make any big noise.
So, as if possessed, I bit him.
"Mmm..." The man groaned as she bit him.
After putting her down on the ground, I went to get her animal skin skirt back. When I touched it and found it was wet, I frowned slightly. Then I wrung it out and shook it.
He walked up to her and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and put it on!"
Shu Ning, unable to free her hands, said awkwardly and angrily, "Put it on the ground and turn around."
Hearing her say that, Mo Li threw her clothes on the ground and turned away impatiently.
After a while.
"Are you done yet?"
Mo Li didn't hear a sound, turned her head and found that she had disappeared at some point.
"They slipped away pretty quickly."
Mo Li snorted softly, a slight smile playing on her lips, finding her earlier behavior amusing.
Shu Ning, who had just returned by teleportation, had just put on her clothes.
Still shaken, she sat on the bed, recalling the scene that had just occurred.
Looks like I'll have to learn to swim properly when I have some free time.
Suddenly I remembered how they looked just now.
"He didn't see everything, did he?! Aaaaaaah!"
Shu Ning blushed instantly and buried her head in the fur blanket.
I'll never be able to face anyone again.
But then again, what will he think when he sees this?
Is it possible to help her complete the task?
She just bit him…
He's not angry anymore, is he?
He must be angry.
I need to apologize to him properly tomorrow.
With that in mind, Shu Ning decided to go see him tomorrow to nurture their relationship.
Then use up the remaining teleportation attempts.
The next morning—
Shu Ning got up early. She planned to make something for Mo Li to eat and then apologize to him.
Although he frightened her first, he also saved her.
Although he scolded her, she bit him in return.
They owe each other nothing; the main issue now is that she needs his help.
Bringing a gift is a must when asking someone for a favor.
What does the dragon like to eat?
As Shu Ning walked, she thought about the scene from last night, and her face began to burn again.
