Chapter 114: Chapter 116: Caught in the Act (Part 1)

This wasn’t a good sign for someone as confident as Mo Xuan.

For a Beastman, being rejected by a female suggested a lack of charm.

It wasn’t that Su Luoluo was unwilling—the door was already open, after all.

She had just suddenly remembered that the location of her doorway was terrible.

When the house was being built, she had been busy cooking. She assumed she would be living there alone, so she hadn’t given it much thought. All that mattered was that they got her house built.

Who would have known that these Beastmen would then build their own huts right behind hers.

Her doorway faced their huts directly. Any ’activity’ between her and Mo Xuan would be in plain sight.

And never mind the others—if that jealous snake Xiao Ye saw them, she felt she’d never have a moment’s peace again.

Su Luoluo thought for a moment, then pulled Mo Xuan inside and shut the door. She whispered, "It’s not that. I just think it’s a little cold outside."

Mo Xuan’s expression brightened considerably when Su Luoluo pulled him into the hut.

However, he didn’t quite believe her excuse.

A smirk played on his lips. "Are you afraid of the cold, or are you afraid they’ll see us?"

’Cold? On a hot day like this?’

’If Su Luoluo was going to make an excuse, she could have at least come up with a better one.’

Caught in her lie, Su Luoluo didn’t show the slightest embarrassment. She reached out and caressed Mo Xuan’s face. "You don’t want us to be interrupted, do you?"

Mo Xuan caught her hand, kissing it with a knowing smirk. "I’m exceptionally gifted, so of course I’m not afraid. It’s just that *someone* is a little too thin-skinned to handle it."

Su Luoluo was speechless. "..."

’He really is confident through and through.’

’Nothing’s even happened yet, and he’s already this confident in his own performance.’

Su Luoluo rolled her eyes at him. "Since you’re not afraid, should we go back outside?"

’As if Mo Xuan would actually want an audience to disturb him. I don’t believe it for a second.’

At her words, Mo Xuan immediately pulled her hand, switched their positions, and pressed her against the doorframe, kissing her impatiently. "In that case, it’s better if it’s just the two of us."

That was exactly what Su Luoluo was waiting to hear.

The small wooden hut had terrible soundproofing. If she and Mo Xuan "did the deed" in here...

...what was the difference between that and putting on a live show for everyone?

Besides, who knew what kind of trouble would stir up the next day.

Su Luoluo pressed her index finger to her own lips, once again blocking Mo Xuan’s kiss.

This second interruption made Mo Xuan extremely displeased. Fire blazing in his eyes, he glared at her. "Su Luoluo, what on earth are you doing? That’s twice you’ve stopped me from kissing you."

’To soothe an angry panther, you first have to stroke his fur the right way.’

Su Luoluo recalled the romance novels she had read back in the Post-apocalypse and decided to clumsily imitate what she’d learned.

Blushing, she reached out with her chubby, not-so-slender hand and began tracing circles on Mo Xuan’s red-feathered chest. She couldn’t pull off a seductive expression, so she just lowered her voice. "I just want to go somewhere... a little different?"

At Su Luoluo’s proactive gesture, Mo Xuan’s anger was miraculously smoothed over in an instant.

Although her hand was tracing over his feathered clothes, which tickled his skin a little, it still sent a tingling numbness through his body.

He looked down, caressing the soft, plump hand in his. "A different place?" he asked, a little confused. "Where did you have in mind? The bushes? A field of flowers? A tree would also work, but..."

As he spoke, Mo Xuan’s eyes roamed up and down her figure, and he let out a soft chuckle. "With a body like yours, I’m afraid you wouldn’t last long up in a tree."

’In a tree!’

Su Luoluo’s heart leaped in shock. ’This damn panther sure has some wild ideas.’

’If I had to lie down on a branch, it’d be the death of me.’

She ignored his teasing and continued in a low voice, "Ever since I moved here, I haven’t been to your place."

Su Luoluo said no more, letting him connect the dots.

Mo Xuan frowned. "You want to go to my wooden hut?"

He definitely didn’t want those guys interrupting him.

"Not that one. The place you lived before."

Hearing this, Mo Xuan didn’t refuse. He agreed readily. "My cave is nice. If you want to go there, let’s go!"

"I don’t want to walk. Teleport us there."

To avoid being discovered by the others, Su Luoluo felt she was becoming awfully fussy.

’Why do I feel like I’m acting like a White Lotus?’

However, as clumsy as her act was, it was very effective on Mo Xuan.

At her words, he gave Su Luoluo a playful squeeze, then wrapped an arm around her and teleported them from her little hut in an instant. He didn’t forget to add a teasing remark, "You really are a delicate one."

Su Luoluo said nothing. ’Right now, I need to be a little more delicate,’ she thought. ’Otherwise, how else can I convince this Black Panther to move to a different spot?’

’Sigh, winning over a target isn’t easy. I have to be so sneaky, and I’m always afraid things will crash and burn.’

’They’re all my Beastmen, so why am I the one sneaking around?’

Mo Xuan’s home was also a cave.

Unlike Xiao Ye, who preferred damp and cold places, Mo Xuan’s cave was much cleaner and brighter, and far drier inside.

Considering Mo Xuan was dressed like a flamboyant peacock today, Su Luoluo had expected his cave to be strange. She was surprised to find it was simple and clean.

A bed of clean, dry grass was laid out, with a black beast skin blanket on top.

Even though it seemed no one had lived in the cave for a while, it was still very clean.

You could tell he usually kept it in good order.

This took her by surprise. ’I never would have guessed Mo Xuan was such a neat person.’

As Su Luoluo was still looking around, she suddenly felt a searing heat on her back.

She turned to see that Mo Xuan had, at some point, slipped his hand up her back and under her clothes.

’This guy really can’t wait a single second.’

While caressing her back, Mo Xuan pulled Su Luoluo into a swift, passionate kiss.

The red feathers on his clothes fluttered in the breeze from the cave entrance, making Su Luoluo feel as if she were getting intimate with a turkey.

She furrowed her brow and tried to bear it, but she found she really couldn’t stand it.

She couldn’t help but reach out, wanting to yank off the fluttering feathers.

Mo Xuan watched Su Luoluo struggling to undo his clothes and a smile tugged at his lips. "My, you’re impatient. I’ve never met such a lustful female."

Su Luoluo was speechless. "..."

"Don’t worry. I’ll show you just how formidable I am right now."

’He’s acting like such a big goof.’

But in the next moment, Su Luoluo realized he wasn’t a goof at all.

Although moonlight streamed into the cave, the lighting was still poor.

After starting a fire, Mo Xuan pulled Su Luoluo down to lie with him.

Before Su Luoluo could even react, she found their clothes being tossed aside, piece by piece, as easily as shelling peanuts.

His eyes grew dark and deep as they swept over Su Luoluo’s body.

His hand slowly slid down from beside her ear as he lowered his head to kiss her.

Just hearing the RUSTLE RUSTLE of the hay pile was enough to make Su Luoluo’s heart tremble with trepidation.

...

「The small woods, by the wooden huts.」

Luan Ting held a bundle of deep-purple mulberries wrapped in a broad leaf. He knocked lightly on Su Luoluo’s door with his free hand. "Luoluo, are you in there?"

But even after knocking for a long time, there was no sound from within.

Fu Feng, still thinking about the cake he’d eaten earlier, wanted to ask Su Luoluo to make more. He also headed over to her hut.

Seeing Luan Ting standing at the door, he asked casually, "Luan Ting, you’re looking for Su Luoluo too? Why aren’t you going in?"

Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Ye arrived, carrying a large jar of milk. He glanced at Luan Ting, then at Fu Feng, and was just about to speak.

Xi Yi strolled over with his arms crossed. He glanced at the three of them and said, "Don’t waste your energy. Luoluo isn’t here."

Fu Feng was taken aback. He was just about to ask where she had gone.

The two figures beside him shot past like bolts of lightning. Baffled, he muttered, "What’s the hurry?"

Xi Yi stroked his chin with one hand. "Probably to catch a cheater."

Fu Feng froze. "Huh?"
