Chapter 143 Strategy Guide

Shu Ning watched Xiao Chonghan grill the meat. She was fine now, so she took the freshly grilled meat from Xuan Lin while checking the favorability ratings of her beast husbands:

Xuan Lin: 48 (Favorability)

Xuanmo: 90 (I really like it)

Yiyuan: 58 (Favorability)

Mo Li: 65 (likes)

Jin Tong: 73 (likes)

Werewolf Orc: 20.97

Jiaolong Beastman: 11.34

Fox Clan Orc: 10.32

Crimson Tiger Orc: 47.57

Wilderness Swamp Orc: 89.25

Black Serpent Orc: 6.63

Other orc races: None

Xiao Chong: Hide is temporarily unavailable.

She was immediately delighted to see Xuanmo's impressive numbers!

She clearly remembered that her score was less than 90 last time, but she didn't expect it to have secretly increased by a few points.

Could it be that Xuanmo secretly increased his affection for her while she was sleeping last night?

Thinking of this, she touched the necklace that Xuan Mo had given her, which she was wearing on her chest, and suddenly felt the uneven texture of the snake scales.

She then picked it up and brought it closer to the fire to examine it.

Two primitive animal-script patterns were found engraved on it.

The first one looks like a snake, and the second one looks like a circle.

"This must be Xuanmo's name," she guessed.

She then continued to study the favorability ratings of other beastmen.

Xuan Lin's favorability rating was still the lowest. She turned her head to look at Xuan Lin, who was skewering meat next to her.

In the firelight, his silvery-white hair looked as beautiful as the clouds in a winter sunset; one wondered if it was from the cold.

She was so engrossed in watching it that she reached out to touch it to see if it was really cold.

Xuan Lin noticed her playing with her hair, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't stop her.

"Friendly reminder: Xuan Lin's favorability has increased by 2 points, and her total favorability is now 50."

She didn't come to her senses until she heard the system assistant's automatic announcement.

Upon seeing the strand of hair in her hand, she quickly let go.

Just as she was about to say something, Xuan Lin put the grilled meat into her mouth.

She chewed on her grilled meat and looked at him.

Xuan Lin noticed the oil stains on her lips and immediately reached out to wipe them off for her.

This action reminded him of the time when he first disliked her, and Xiao Chong had wiped her mouth clean in the same way.

He paused as he wiped his hands, his eyes flickered, and a complex emotion welled up inside him.

He then suddenly pulled her into his arms, buried his head in her neck, closed his eyes, and felt the emotions he had for her.

Yes, it was his female, the one he couldn't bear to let go of, the one who wanted more of that feeling...

Shu Ning felt his arms tighten and tighten around her.

She patted his back, "Xuan Lin..."

Thinking about how Mu Yu had drugged him before, she wondered what Mu Yu had done to him during the two days she was away from the wolf clan.

He then asked, "What's wrong? Xuan Lin, did someone... bully you?"

Xuan Lin didn't respond directly. After a moment, he loosened his grip slightly, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry..."

"Huh?" Shu Ning was confused by his sudden apology.

Then the system assistant announced: "Friendly reminder: Xuan Lin's favorability has increased by 2 points, and her total favorability is now 52."

After the system assistant finished broadcasting, she became even more confused.

Could it be that Mu Yu really did something to him?

I recall cases I've seen before where husbands cheated on their wives, but when they came home, they wanted to be closer to their wives. It wasn't that they liked their wives more, but rather that they felt guilty and wanted to make amends to ease their conscience.

"Xuan Lin, what's wrong with you? Tell me, maybe I can help you," Shu Ning said, patting his shoulder.

Upon hearing Shu Ning's words, Xuan Lin's breathing became deep. After releasing her, he leaned down and kissed her lips.

"Friendly reminder: Xuan Lin's favorability has increased by 3 points, and her total favorability is now 55."

Shu Ning was even more confused by his sudden kiss.

Could she have done something...?

She pushed him away, cupped his face in her hands, and asked earnestly, "What happened?"

One second he was still immersed in the pleasure of the kiss, the next second he was easily pushed away by her. Before he could react, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he said, "It's okay."

"Are you really alright?" Shu Ning asked, frowning in confusion as she observed his gaze.

"Mm," he replied.

After scrutinizing his handsome face for a while, Shu Ning slowly released him.

"Ningning, why are you so worried about him?" Jin Tong felt even more displeased when she saw Xuan Lin kissing her and still worrying about him, an adult male living in the wolf clan.

“He’s an adult male. If there’s anything wrong, he should handle it himself, not go to his female,” Mo Li said.

Upon hearing his words, Shu Ning thought of his story about the full moon night and Jin Tong's fear of lightning, and she frowned.

"Mo Li, if you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me. Don't try to handle it all by yourself," she said earnestly.

Seeing their calm demeanor, he added, "We can solve problems together; more people means more strength."

Then I heard the system assistant announce:

“Xuan Lin’s favorability has increased by 2 points, and his total favorability is now 57.”

"Mo Li's favorability has increased by 2 points, and her total favorability is now 67."

"Jin Tong's favorability has increased by 2 points, and her total favorability is now 75."

Upon hearing the system assistant's automatic announcement, Shu Ning looked at them excitedly, wanting to share her joy with someone, but there was no one she could tell.

If Yiyuan were here, he might have risen along with him.

She looked at Xuan Lin beside her and excitedly grasped his hand.

Xuan Lin looked at her in confusion and touched her forehead.

"What's making you so happy?" Xuan Lin asked.

"It's nothing," Shu Ning said happily.

At this moment, Han She, who was standing next to her, handed her the skewer of meat that he thought he had grilled the best after grilling it several times.

Shu Ning looked up and saw that his eyes were sparkling with anticipation.

She reached out and took the roasted meat from his hand. "Thank you."

Hearing her thank you, Han She frowned slightly, the light in his eyes dimmed a little, and he parted his thin lips slightly, "No need."

"Mmm! Delicious!" Shu Ning praised as she ate, giving him a thumbs up.

Upon hearing her praise, Han She's eyes lit up instantly, and the gloom in her heart dissipated somewhat.

"Hmm," he said indifferently.

"You're amazing! You learned it in such a short time," Shu Ning said, praising him.

“This is nothing, mine tastes great too!” Jin Tong said. “Ning Ning, come and try mine.”

Before Shu Ning could even get up, Jin Tong grabbed the barbecue and went over there herself.

Shu Ning took the grilled meat from him and ate it, saying, "Jin Tong's grilling is also delicious!"

"Hehe." Jin Tong was overjoyed by her praise.

"Whose grilling is better?" he asked expectantly.

“They’re all delicious,” Shu Ning said. “Each one is different, but they’re all very tasty.”

"Ningning." At this moment, Xiao Chong handed her a piece of fruit.

Shu Ning gave him a grateful look.

Xiao Chong was the most thoughtful.

"Are you full?" he asked.

"Mm." Shu Ning nodded.
