Chapter 189: Riding on the Giant Eagle
Facing his partner's eyes as clear and bright as autumn water, Mo Xiao couldn't help but feel flustered.
He knew that this time he might not be able to get away with it as perfunctorily as before.
He half-closed his eyelids, hiding the hidden struggle in his eyes.
He could never tell Qingqing the truth of the matter no matter what, he absolutely couldn't!
Mu Qingqing saw Mo Xiao's struggle, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
They had been together for so long and had been through so many things, but Mo Xiao still didn't intend to tell her the truth.
"Mo Xiao, you lied to me?"
Mo Xiao raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled with astonishment and surprise.
"What did you lie to me about?"
Mu Qingqing restrained her smile, her eyes were dazed and her gaze seemed a little empty.
"Cheat my feelings."
Mo Xiao approached her, pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. He sniffed her hair lightly, his narrow eyes revealing a hint of neurotic infatuation.
"No."
He could accept any comment Mu Qingqing made about him, except this sentence.
Mo Xiao's throat rolled. Seeing that his partner didn't say a word and even looked a little aggrieved, he softened his heart and a clear voice came from his chest.
"Qingqing, I didn't deceive your feelings. You can doubt me about anything, but you must not doubt this."
This sentence made Mu Qingqing feel much better and pulled her out of her uncomfortable self-doubt.
"In that case, what else are you afraid to tell me?"
There was confusion and dissatisfaction in Mu Qingqing's tone.
Mo Xiao seemed to be recalling, "Because it's not necessary. Talking about it might affect the relationship between us."
Mu Qingqing's expression suddenly changed, and she looked at him with a smile.
"Affect the relationship between us? Did you leave emotional debts everywhere before..."
Mo Xiao knew how powerful Mu Qingqing's mouth was, so he quickly covered Mu Qingqing's mouth with his cold hands.
"My dear, I don't."
Mu Qingqing glanced at him, and suddenly imitated Mo Xiao, licking his palm with her tongue.
Mo Xiao's eyes immediately became hot, and even his ears turned slightly red.
A flirtatious partner is too much to bear.
They stayed in the cave for another day. At night, Mu Qingqing leaned on the edge of the hot spring pool and looked at the forest below the mountain.
Faintly, she could still see those vertical pupils flashing green light, but they were not as densely packed as before. There were much fewer of them, only two or three pairs left.
Mu Qingqing called Mo Xiao to come over and take a look, but Mo Xiao took a quick glance and then looked away.
"Don't worry, we'll leave tomorrow."
Mu Qingqing looked at him in surprise, "Are you leaving tomorrow? I haven't even seen where you live."
Mo Xiao hugged Mu Qingqing and they looked at the dark and deep forest at the foot of the mountain together. He raised his chin.
"I've seen it. It's in there."
Mu Qingqing looked suspicious, "Is this the place?"
Mo Xiao hummed.
"Just keep going deeper into the forest."
Some thoughts suddenly flashed through Mu Qingqing's mind, "Do your people live there too?"
"Ah."
"Then, are the orcs we saw on the day we first arrived also from your tribe?"
Mo Xiao didn't understand why Mu Qingqing asked this question, but he still told the truth.
"Correct."
Mu Qingqing's eyes darkened and her heart began to flutter.
What exactly is that wooden stick? Why did she have such a dream? What does it mean?
These questions lingered in Mu Qingqing's mind, and she didn't sleep well the whole night.
When I woke up, I felt physically and mentally exhausted, and even had dark circles under my eyes.
"Are we really leaving today? I haven't had enough fun yet."
Mu Qingqing lay there motionless, muttering softly.
Apart from soaking in a hot spring and seeing a crane, she didn't get to enjoy other places.
Seeing his partner acting pitifully and coquettishly, Mo Xiao felt pity for him, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. Among the layers of tree shadows, there were pairs of clearly visible cold vertical pupils.
Mo Xiao opened his thin lips slightly and spoke cruelly.
"Qingqing, don't you miss your little cub at home?"
The trip there and back, plus the time spent staying, was almost a week, which is neither long nor short.
But it did alert Mu Qingqing.
It's sunny here during the day and the temperature is just right, but it's very cold in the tribe, and Lang Yi said before that it's going to snow soon, so we should really go back.
She immediately perked up and stood up.
Mo Xiao smiled slightly when he saw this and held out his hand to her.
The enchanting eyes flashed with an intoxicating luster. Mu Qingqing's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to stretch out her slender hand.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the cave where the two were seemed to be hit violently by something.
Mu Qingqing staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Mo Xiao reacted quickly and supported her with his quick eyes and hands.
Mo Xiao had a sinister look on his face and looked towards the cave entrance on one side with cold eyes.
Then, a hissing sound came into the ears of the two.
From the sound, there was more than one black snake, and from the shadows reflected on the wall, they were also quite large.
Mu Qingqing grabbed Mo Xiao's wrist in panic, fearing that he would rush out impulsively and come back covered in bruises like yesterday.
Mo Xiao had no such intention. He patted his partner's hand gently and took her to the hot spring pool.
This place is very steep and dangerous from the ground. The black snake did not climb up from here, and the black owl always likes to leave from here.
"Do you believe me?"
A warm and cool palm gently stroked Mu Qingqing's cheek.
She nodded without hesitation, "Believe it."
Mo Xiao curled his lips, and when those black snakes were about to rush in, he jumped down from the pool with Mu Qingqing.
The wind whistled past her ears, and Mu Qingqing felt as if someone was covering her nose, making it impossible for her to breathe.
When it was more than two meters away from the ground, the Black Owl transformed into a beast and smashed heavily to the ground like a meteorite!
This almost frightened Mu Qingqing to death.
Before she recovered from her surprise, she looked up and saw several black snakes falling from the sky and rushing towards them at a rapid speed!
But at this time, Mo Xiao had already circled Mu Qingqing and walked a hundred meters away.
Mo Xiao did not enter the forest, but crawled towards the giant eagle. Even though he was still injured, his speed did not slow down.
The snakes also fell down and kept exploding like firecrackers, still chasing them relentlessly.
After about ten minutes, they arrived at the cave where the giant vulture was.
As soon as you enter the cave, you will see empty boxes everywhere.
The giant eagle was contented with its meal and was dozing off with its eyes closed when it suddenly saw Mu Qingqing and the others. It was startled and flapped its wings.
Mu Qingqing and Mo Xiao quickly climbed onto its back and patted its head.
"Go home."
The giant eagle seemed to understand and raised its head and cried out.
However, as soon as he flew out of the cave, he ran head-on into the black snake that was chasing him.
The group of black snakes hissed and raised their bodies to climb towards the giant eagle, but the giant eagle's wings were too big, and it flapped them easily and blew all the black snakes away. Mu Qingqing was originally anxious, but she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.
