Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Su Luoluo, Do You Have Any Shame?
He desperately wanted to throw her off, but with Su Yang watching, he had no choice but to accept.
Su Luoluo was terrified Mo Xuan would throw her off. Fortunately, Luan Ting’s voice sounded from the side at just the right moment.
"Everyone is present."
Su Yang quickly turned to her. "Which way do we go?"
Su Luoluo pointed southeast. "That way."
Su Yang nodded and gave a commanding order to the people behind him, "Head southeast!"
The moment he spoke, he took the lead, shooting out from the pack of wolves as fast as lightning.
Seeing him run ahead, the wolves behind him followed suit.
Mo Xuan, carrying Su Luoluo, followed as well.
Meanwhile, amidst the wolf pack, Su Nuannuan sat atop a wolf, her eyes fixed fiercely on Su Luoluo’s departing figure, filled with resentment.
’That seat was supposed to be mine.’
On her end, although Su Luoluo had gotten her "wish" and was sitting on Mo Xuan’s back, the experience was far from pleasant.
She didn’t know if Mo Xuan was doing it on purpose, but he deliberately avoided the flat grasslands, choosing to run along rugged paths instead.
It caused her to be jostled from side to side, her brain practically scrambled and her vision filled with stars.
To ensure her own safety, Su Luoluo could only cling desperately to Mo Xuan’s neck.
As Mo Xuan ran, he heard Su Luoluo’s constant cries and laughed to himself. ’She chose me, so I’ll give her a ride she’ll never forget. She’ll never dare pick me again.’
However, he was so focused on teasing her that he didn’t realize she was gripping his neck tighter and tighter, to the point where he could barely breathe.
He stopped and shot Su Luoluo a fierce glare. "Let go of my neck. I won’t be responsible if you fall to your death."
Su Luoluo was speechless.
’If he wasn’t running so fast, would I have to be clinging to his neck this tightly?’
She loosened her grip slightly and took the opportunity to negotiate. "I can let go, but you have to stop running so fast. Otherwise, I have no choice but to hold on to your neck."
Mo Xuan didn’t want to agree, but he had no other choice.
After he started running again, the path he chose was much more normal. He stuck to flat ground whenever possible.
With him running more steadily, Su Luoluo was also much more comfortable.
She had been too busy trying not to fall off to notice before, but now that she looked closely, she realized Mo Xuan’s fur was both fluffy and glossy.
It was all fluffed up by the wind and looked incredibly soft to the touch.
’I kind of want to pet it,’ she thought, ’but considering Mo Xuan’s foul temper, I’d better not.’
As they neared a chasm, Mo Xuan backed up a few steps and said coldly, "Hold on tight. I’m not responsible if you fall to your death."
Hearing this, Su Luoluo’s first instinct was to grab his neck again, but remembering their earlier negotiation, she forced her hands down.
’But if I don’t hold on to something, I won’t be safe in a moment.’
Then she saw Mo Xuan’s flat stomach.
Su Luoluo’s eyes lit up. She lay down flat and wrapped her arms around Mo Xuan’s belly.
Mo Xuan was gathering his strength for a forward charge when he suddenly felt a tightness around his abdomen.
’This Su Luoluo is always up to no good. Now she’s touching my stomach.’
The spot on his belly felt cool and a little ticklish, and he almost threw her off his back right then and there.
But he was already in mid-air and couldn’t stop, so he could only let out an angry howl to express his displeasure.
Suspended in the air, Su Luoluo was too scared to even notice Mo Xuan’s warning howl.
Due to a combination of nervousness and inertia, her body involuntarily shifted forward, rubbing against him.
’This damn ugly freak! Can’t she behave herself? Where does she think she’s rubbing her butt?’
’Her attempt to climb into my bed failed last time, so now she’s resorting to sneak attacks?’
’Does she have any sense of shame at all?’
After she shifted, Su Luoluo also noticed that Mo Xuan’s body had grown tense.
She gave a dry laugh and straightened herself out. "Sorry, that was an accident... I didn’t do it on purpose."
Mo Xuan snorted, clearly not believing a word she said.
’He’s probably reacting this way because of my "prior conviction" for trying to climb into his bed,’ Su Luoluo thought.
Fortunately, Mo Xuan didn’t throw her off. After they landed, Su Luoluo completely let go and stayed perfectly still, as if on her best behavior.
The two of them traveled on like this for a while in a sort of tacit understanding.
But very soon, Mo Xuan’s stamina began to fail.
’This ugly freak, Su Luoluo, eats so much. It’s tiring enough carrying the luggage, but I have to carry her too.’
Su Luoluo also noticed the awkward situation. She licked her lips and said sheepishly, "How about... we stop and rest for a bit?"
Mo Xuan glanced back at Fu Feng, who was following them, then flicked his gaze forward again without a word.
Su Luoluo followed his gaze and saw Xiao Ye, who was purple all over, swaggering alongside them.
Su Luoluo lowered her gaze. ’He really cares about his pride, doesn’t he?’
He shot a look at Su Luoluo and taunted Mo Xuan mercilessly. "This must be tough for you, Mo Xuan. Carrying such a fatso must be exhausting!"
Su Luoluo was speechless.
’Did he really have to say that out loud?’
Mo Xuan shot Xiao Ye a look but said nothing.
Xiao Ye snorted and swaggered ahead, glancing back to give them a provocative look.
Su Luoluo thought for a moment, then rummaged through her luggage and pulled out a bag of sour plums. She opened it, leaned down, and held one out in front of Mo Xuan. "These are sour plums I made myself. Want one to get some energy back?"
She had found the plums while wandering in the woods a few days ago. After washing and drying them, she had coated them in a thick layer of honey, making them a sweet and sour, appetizing treat.
She had originally intended to eat the snack herself when she got hungry, but seeing as Mo Xuan was running out of steam, she could only offer them to placate him.
Mo Xuan initially looked down on the offer, but Su Luoluo was just too heavy, and his stamina really was failing.
’Food made by Su Luoluo probably won’t taste good, but it’s a plum, at least. No matter how awful it is, it should still taste like a plum, right?’
With this thought, Mo Xuan grudgingly took the plum from her hand with his mouth.
The yellow plum entered his mouth, and it wasn’t nearly as bad as he’d imagined. On the contrary, the plum had been treated with something; it was neither dry nor overly sour, and it even had a faint sweetness as he chewed.
’I don’t think I’ve ever had a plum this delicious.’
After finishing the first one, he was left wanting more.
Su Luoluo had thought Mo Xuan would ignore her, but to her surprise, he actually ate it.
’Now that he’s eaten something, even if he’s still tired, he can’t be too hard on me.’
A smile played on Su Luoluo’s lips.
Moreover, she noticed that after he finished eating, he didn’t say anything, nor did he spit it out.
’That means he likes it.’
’Otherwise, with his personality, he would have spat it out long ago and said a few disdainful words.’
Seeing this, Su Luoluo immediately fed him a few more.
As expected, Mo Xuan didn’t refuse and took a few more into his mouth.
Their dynamic shifted from their previous silence, with Su Luoluo sitting stiffly on Mo Xuan’s back, to her occasionally feeding him. She even managed to sneak a pat of his smooth, sleek fur when he wasn’t looking.
’I have to say, while a leopard’s fur isn’t as long as a wolf’s or a lion’s, it’s still really soft to the touch and not at all coarse.’
And so, the girl and the leopard traveled on harmoniously for the rest of the way.
