Chapter 120 Main Story

"Why would you suddenly ask that?" Mo Li asked, hugging her as she lay back down.

"I just want to get to know you a little better," Shu Ning said, looking up at him. "Tell me about it."

“Hmm…” Mo Li pondered for a moment, then said, “That’s impossible.”

“No one can truly succeed,” he said, gazing into the distance.

Among the Jiao tribe, countless beastmen yearn to one day truly transform into dragons because of the legends of dragons.

Therefore, many Jiao clan beastmen tried various mysterious methods in order to seek the secret technique of transforming into a dragon, including him.

Some orcs even lost their lives in the process, but none of them succeeded.

Thinking of this, he grabbed the blanket and took a deep breath.

"Mo Li, if I told you I have a way to help you successfully transform into a dragon, but the process involves certain risks, would you be willing to try?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Li's eyes flickered slightly, a glimmer of hope flashing within them, but it quickly dimmed.

"Ningning, you just know how to make me happy." He pinched the tip of her nose.

How could a female wolf know the secret technique that their Jiao clan most desires to master?

“No, I’m serious. I have a way, Mo Li, you have to believe me,” Shu Ning said, sitting up. “It’s just that this process will involve pain that you may not be able to bear, and there is also a risk of losing your life.”

Mo Li looked at her serious expression and fell into deep thought.

Thinking back to when she took a bunch of Xuanjing Stones to the Jiao Clan.

Perhaps she really does have a way.

"Is this true?" he asked.

"Mmm!" Shu Ning nodded.

Then I told him about the methods and risks of transforming into a dragon, and we discussed with him which method would have the least risk.

...

"This is it," he finally decided.

"Okay." Shu Ning said happily, "I've forgotten some of the herbs used in this recipe. I'll think about them when I get back."

Actually, she hadn't yet searched for the specific locations of those herbs.

"Okay," Mo Li replied. "I remember now. Remember to tell me, and don't go out alone again, okay?"

Mo Li recalled her recent trip to find Yi Yuan alone and couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

"Okay," Shu Ning replied, then yawned.

"Sleep a little longer." He patted her head, a tender look in his eyes.

"good."

The two then fell asleep again...

Inside the Wolf Clan's Cave Prison—

"Xuanmo, you've arrived!" Ansha exclaimed excitedly as she stood up and walked forward upon seeing Xuanmo.

The other black serpent orcs also rose up.

"You should go back today," Xuan Mo said indifferently.

"And what about you?" An Sha asked. "Aren't you coming back with your father? And what about your little female, Shu... Ningning?"

"I'm not going back," Xuanmo said as he opened the door for him. "She's not going back either."

“No, if none of you are going back, then I won’t go back either.” He said, then sat back down.

Xuanmo remained silent.

"If you like staying here so much, then stay here forever."

After Xuanmo finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Hey, Xuanmo!" Ansha quickly followed after him when he realized his method wasn't working.

"Where's Ningning? Why didn't she come with you to see her father?" he said. "Oh right, I haven't met her parents yet."

Upon hearing this, Xuanmo frowned, his eyes flashing with anger. "What are you plotting now?"

"Look at what you're saying... I've come all this way to Ningning's house without bringing any gifts or anything. Is it really appropriate for me not to meet her parents?"

——

Upon seeing them from a distance, Mu Yu asked, "Who is that old black snake beastman?"

Yesterday, Mu Yu's subordinates, who were lurking near the prison cave, came to report to her after discovering that Shu Ning, Xuan Lin, and the others had entered the prison cave.

I was just about to come and see what was going on this morning when I spotted those black snake beastmen.

“He is the former chieftain of the Black Serpent Clan, and now the king and leader of the Black Serpent Tribe,” Shi Ye replied.

"So he is Bai Yi's uncle, An Sha..." Mu Yu said thoughtfully.

"Yes, boss."

"Shi Ye, do you think if I take care of them all, Bai Yi will be close to becoming the leader?"

“Oh no, I mean becoming the king of the entire Black Serpent tribe, and then…” She paused, fantasizing, “I will be the queen of the entire Black Serpent tribe.”

She is Bai Yi's female. If Bai Yi becomes the king of the Black Serpent tribe, then even if she doesn't become the Holy Mother of the Wolf Clan, she still has the possibility of becoming the queen of the Black Serpent tribe.

The thought of potentially becoming the queen of the Black Serpent tribe in the future made her smirk as she looked at the few Black Serpent beastmen not far away, revealing a sinister glint in her eyes.

“Yes, boss,” Shi Ye said, “but there’s still Hei Teng to deal with.”

“That’s right. Hei Teng is An Sha’s adopted son. Even if Xuan Mo is gone, Bai Yi’s chances are not great. After all, he is just An Sha’s nephew.”

"Where is Shu Ning?" Mu Yu asked as she saw An Liang approaching. If she wanted to make a move, she still had to be wary of Shu Ning; she couldn't even describe Shu Ning's current abilities.

“She went to the Ink Glass Cave last night,” An Liang said.

"Heh." Hearing that her opponent only knew how to flirt with the beastmen all day long, her vigilance relaxed a little.

"By the way, Night Eater, how are the beastmen you sent to the Dark Wasteland doing?"

“Boss, the orcs of the Viper Tribe are unwilling to cooperate with us,” said Shi Ye.

"That's alright. Their leader is Yiyuan, so it's normal for them to refuse us. What about the other tribe?"

“The other one… also doesn’t want to,” Shi Ye said.

"What?" Mu Yu was taken aback upon hearing this. "Weren't the benefits explained to them clearly?"

“We told them, but they still kicked us out after they heard it.”

Hearing this, Anliang was secretly delighted, but on the surface he still maintained a serious expression.

"Damn it, how could they be so ungrateful!" Mu Yu said angrily.

“Anliang, go and tell them that if they are willing to cooperate with us, once I succeed, we will immediately help them attack the Viper Tribe and make them the only powerful tribe in the Youhuang Marsh.”

“Then the entire Youhuangze will have to listen to him. Let’s see if he’s still not tempted,” she added.

"Yes, boss."

"Let's set off now," Mu Yu ordered, worried that he would go and inform Shu Ning.

She originally wanted to send Shi Ye, but she had something more important to entrust to him.

"Yes." Anliang replied and set off.

Ink Glass Cave —

When Shu Ning woke up again, she heard the system's voice, "Host, although there is no time limit, you still need to complete Xuan Mo's task as soon as possible."

She glanced around and saw that Mo Li was no longer there. "Why do you say that?"

"Because the main characters are coming soon."

Shu Ning recalled that this beast world was originally a novel she had read where the protagonists accidentally traveled into it due to a time machine malfunction.

"But didn't they just stay for a while and then leave?" Shu Ning asked, her intuition telling her that things weren't that simple.

"The future is uncertain, so in any case, host, you need to complete this mission as soon as possible," 007 said.

"Completing this task will increase your teleportation distance by a factor of 100."

How far is that?

"You can reach any place on this beast-world planet."

"Is it okay if I haven't been there before?"

"No, unless that place is one that your beastmen have been to."

"...It doesn't look appealing at all, why are you rushing me?" Shu Ning asked.

"Hey? It ran away again?" Shu Ning cursed inwardly.

All they do is urge her, but they don't give her a concrete plan on how to get past the Xuanmo Zhe.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; it always disappears at crucial moments.

She looked outside and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. Suddenly, she remembered that Xuanmo's father was still imprisoned in the cave prison, so she immediately got up.
