Chapter 197 (1/2)

Nan Xun’s mouth trembled, making her accidentally bite her tongue. She quickly stood up, hopping on one foot forward in a funny way.

A dull, low laugh suddenly sounded from close behind her. Nan Xun hopped faster, but unexpectedly there was a huge tree root arching off the ground in front of her feet, but she didn’t notice and tripped on it.

Seeing that she was about to fall like a dog eating its poop, a strong arm suddenly caught her waist and pulled her back.

In the next moment, Nan Xun suddenly felt light, and was held princess style by a man.

Nan Xun exclaimed, unconsciously holding onto the man’s shoulders.

…It’s that rogue savage.

Because of the way she was being held, she could only see the man’s side profile when she looked up. The other person just turned his head away and showed the back of his head.

It was unknown what Nan Xun was looking at, but her eyes fixedly looked straight at him.1

Then her eyes heated up. Her eyes brightened, shining like there were countless stars in them.

The man looked down at her, his eyes brimming with unruliness, and a mischievous smile hanging on the corner of his lips. “This time you can’t walk. So, where are you trying to run off to?”

Nan Xun didn’t speak, only staring straight at him.

This savage looked really good ah. Even more handsome than the last time she saw him, full of wildness.

He saw that she didn’t speak, and his dark sword-like eyebrows wrinkled, his sight falling on her thigh. “Little Wild Leopard, were you bitten by a venomous snake?”

He looked around briefly and saw the snake killed by her. He couldn’t help but whistle, “Little Wild Leopard, did you do this? This is the first time I’ve seen a woman kill a venomous snake by herself.”

Nan Xun was almost struck by lightning when he called her that.

Little Wild Leopard? Why don’t you just say Little Stray Cat?

“Little Wild Leopard, my name is A’Mang. Did you forget what I said last time?” he asked. He put down Nan Xun first, wrapped the snake around his waist, then picked her again.

Nan Xun coughed. “Remember, remember.”

A’Mang looked at her appearance. It was clear she was lying to him— that Little Wild Leopard really did forget.

A’Mang couldn’t help but get annoyed. “I missed you every day, but you completely forgot about me, woman!”

Nan Xun shrank quietly in his arms. Then she suddenly smiled at him brilliantly, and sweetly called out, “A’Mang.”

Hearing this, A’Mang felt his heart soften. So, he pursed his lips and didn’t further pursue the matter of her forgetting him.

“Little Wild Leopard, you haven’t told me what your name is,” A’Mang said.

Nan Xun’s mouth curved and replied, “My name is A’Xi.”

A’Mang kept repeating her name, and with bright eyes said, “Little Wild Leopard, your name sounds so nice, A’Xi, A’Xi….”

A’Mang carried Nan Xun into a cave. The cave was probably where he temporarily lived, because it was a little empty. There was a thick layer of dead vegetation on the ground, and next to it were some newly peeled skins that smelled bloody.

A’Mang placed Nan Xun on the dead leaves, then laid down and gently licked the wound on Nan Xun’s thigh.

Nan Xun’s thigh trembled, her body shook, and she stammered, “You, you you you what are you doing?”

A’Mang just looked up at her and continued to lick. Then, he sucked hard at where the snake bit her and spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

Nan Xun hissed, “You, be gentler!”
