Chapter 202 Xuan Lin

"Then let's get some rest today and set off tomorrow," Xuan Lin said, looking earnestly at Shu Ning, "Ning Ning, will you sleep with me tonight?"

"Ningning, sleep with me!" Yan said immediately upon hearing this. "You're leaving tomorrow, so stay with me tonight."

"Ningning, you've never chosen me before, is it my turn this time?" Xuan Lin looked at her, his silver eyes sincere and ardent.

"Ningning never chose me either," Yan said immediately upon seeing this. "Except for the night we met, it was only half a night before..."

Upon hearing this, the others cast surprised glances at Yan, a complex look flashing in their eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not going well for her, Shu Ning immediately looked at them and explained, "Nothing happened between him and me that night, please don't misunderstand."

"What misunderstanding?" Yan Jian Shu Ning explained to them, "Nothing really happened to us that night."

"Mmm-hmm," Shu Ning nodded in agreement.

"We just slept in Ningning's bed in the wild," Yan said proudly. "Ningning even took off my clothes herself..."

"I'm with Xuan Lin tonight!" Shu Ning interrupted Yan when she saw that his explanations were getting more and more evasive.

"Ningning..." Nightmare said, heartbroken when he heard that Shu Ning hadn't chosen him.

"Yan was injured at the time, so we just bandaged him up," Shu Ning continued.

"It's just a bandage, Ningning, it's nothing, you don't need to explain to us," Xiao Chong said, getting up and patting Shu Ning.

Upon hearing that Shu Ning had chosen him, Xuan Lin's cold expression softened, and his joy was almost overflowing: "Ning Ning, I..."

"Friendly reminder: Xuan Lin's favorability has increased by 3 points, and his current total favorability is 93."

After chatting for a while, Xiao Chong went to attend to clan affairs.

Han She returned to the desolate marshland.

Jin Tong then went to say goodbye to Chi Yan.

Mo Li returned to his cave to continue tending to his flowers and plants...

It was already afternoon when Shu Ning returned to her cave and opened her spatial dimension to check her harvest.

Home appliances and kitchenware, self-defense weapons, seed gift packs...

Looking at the season outside, although the sun was shining brightly, she felt a slight chill.

It seems autumn is just around the corner...

She plans to plant the seeds next spring after this winter.

Then she opened the encyclopedia and began to study the lion race.

The Lion Clan was located... A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw the Lion Clan's location.

The easiest way to get to the Lion Clan is to pass through the Black Bear Clan, then go around the salt lake, and then continue over several mountains.

She remembered that the last time she went to the Black Bear Clan, she had just set off during the day after becoming partners with Xiao Chong.

If we were to set off this time, it would be clear that one day wouldn't be enough. Although there are other routes with shorter straight-line distances, none of them are as wide and easy to travel as this one.

"Oh dear!" She suddenly remembered that she had been to the salt lake before, so she could just take them there and then set off from there.

She then continued her research...

The Lion Clan lived in a similar area to the Crimson Tiger Tribe, except that the Lion Clan's territory consisted mostly of plains.

The entrance to the Lion Clan is covered with thorns that have been planted year-round, forming a thick layer like a wall that cannot be cut through in a short time with just a knife.

Just as she was worrying, she saw a description in the book that the lion clan liked to train griffins as their aerial guards, and their nests were built on cliffs.

That is, the cliffs surrounding the Lion Clan.

"Knock knock knock..."

Just as she was pondering how to infiltrate the Lion Clan, there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" she called out as she put the encyclopedia back into her spatial storage.

"Me," Xuan Lin said. "Ningning, it's already evening, let's go out and get something to eat."

"Coming right away." Shu Ning got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Xuan Lin carrying a pot of meat soup, which was emitting a fragrant aroma.

"It smells so good! I was just feeling hungry," Shu Ning said happily, looking at the soup in front of her.

"I specially copied your recipe, I don't know if you'll like it." Xuan Lin said as he brought the pot in and placed it on the table.

"It smells delicious, it must taste good too." Shu Ning couldn't wait to take out the bowl and chopsticks.

"Here, be careful, it's hot." Xuan Lin said as he ladled the soup into her bowl.

"Okay." Shu Ning was so considerate to Xuan Lin, almost as considerate as Xiao Chong. She remembered that when she first arrived here, he was the first person she saw.

His attitude towards her back then is completely different from his attitude towards her now.

"Ningning, why aren't you drinking?" Xuan Lin asked when he saw her in a daze.

"Oh..." Shu Ning came to her senses, "It's a bit hot, let it cool down." Then she scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it in her mouth.

"Mmm! Not bad, the soup is delicious," Shu Ning praised.

Hearing Shu Ning's exaggerated words, Xuan Lin's eyes flickered slightly, "If you like it, drink more. I made a lot."

"Okay." Shu Ning felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Suddenly remembering what the system had said, Shu Ning hesitated whether to tell him.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Lin asked.

"Xuan Lin, what kind of person do you think Mu Chen is?" Shu Ning asked while observing his expression.

“He…” Xuan Lin’s eyes flashed with a shadow when he heard Shu Ning mention him, but then the shadow disappeared as he looked at Shu Ning. “Ning Ning, why did you suddenly ask about this?”

"It's nothing. I just heard Xiao Chong tell me to stay away from him, but I don't know why," Shu Ning said.

“Yes, it’s right to stay away from him,” Xuan Lin replied.

"Xuan Lin, has he ever hurt you?" Shu Ning asked tentatively.

Xuan Lin was slightly taken aback upon hearing Shu Ning's words. "Ning Ning, do you know something?"

Seeing Xuan Lin's reaction, Shu Ning already knew the answer in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chen has already started to take action.

“Xuan Lin, these are just my guesses. I feel like you're all quite wary of him,” Shu Ning explained.

She leaned forward slightly and whispered, "Xuan Lin, what did he do to you that makes you so wary of him?"

“He…” Xuan Lin hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"He wanted to kill me when the Black Bear Clan attacked," Xuan Lin said calmly, but his heart was churning with turmoil, and his whole body exuded an extremely cold aura.

Thinking of something, he looked at Shu Ning, "Ningning, will you help him or me?"

Shu Ning was taken aback by Xuan Lin's sudden question. She paused for a moment before replying, "Xuan Lin, he didn't let me off the hook either."

"What did he do to you?" Xuan Lin asked anxiously upon hearing Shu Ning's words.

"He didn't do anything to me, he just spread my bad reputation everywhere when I was fat."

Xuan Lin was aware of this matter as well. Before Shu Ning made the change, he himself felt disgusted with Shu Ning and thus tacitly accepted what she had done.

But now she has changed so much that he has slowly started to like her without realizing it.

Thinking about how he had treated Shu Ning in the past, his eyes darkened. "I'm sorry, Ning Ning," he said solemnly and sincerely.

"I……"
