Chapter 90 It's better to sleep with me

"Alright then, let's let them get some rest." He smirked, and just as he was about to put his arm around her shoulder, Yan suddenly appeared and pulled her close.

Xiao Chong looked at the arm that had fallen to the ground, raised an eyebrow, and then looked at her new beast husband.

"Nightmare?" Shu Ning looked up at him.

"Hmm, Shu Ning, who is this?" Yan looked at the wolf-type beastman with light gray hair, who was about the same size as her silver-white beastman husband, but her eyes held a hint of ruthlessness.

“He is my beast husband, Xiao Chong,” Shu Ning introduced him.

"Xiao Chong, this is a nightmare."

"So it's Shu Ning's beast husband. Shu Ning, today is our first day as partners, how about we go out and have some fun?"

Nightmare skipped over Xiao Chong and spoke directly to Shu Ning.

Just as Shu Ning was about to say something, the Crimson Tiger Beastmen behind them came over and happily congratulated them.

Congratulations to Your Majesty and Queen on your marriage!

Touched by their enthusiasm, Shu Ning said to them, "Thank you!"

"You are welcome!"

“Your Majesty, we will head back now,” one of the orcs said to Nightmare.

Nightmare nodded.

"Your Majesty, please remember to visit our Crimson Flame Mountain often. We'll head back now, goodbye!"

"Okay, goodbye."

Xiao Chong glanced at them, then walked up to Shu Ning, patted her head, and said, "Ning Ning, you guys have fun. I have something to do now."

"Okay, Xiao Chong, go ahead."

Shu Ning turned to Yan and continued saying what she had just been about to say.

"Nightmare, I want to go see the jackal beastmen from yesterday."

“Okay, let’s go see them first, then we can go out and play.” He whispered, holding Shu Ning’s hand.

On the road.

"Nightmare, where do you plan to live permanently from now on?"

Shu Ning looked up at him; he still had so many orcs under his command.

"Of course, it's with my female."

"Then what about your tribe?"

"Yeah, what should we do?" he asked, feigning distress.

"Why don't you come back with me? The two of us can manage our tribe together and rule the entire Crimson Flame Mountain." He looked down at Shu Ning, his words carrying a hint of coaxing.

“This…” Shu Ning looked up at him and said.

"Alright, seeing how reluctant you are to part with your beast husband, I won't make things difficult for you." He said, patting her head.

Cave entrance—

"you…"

As soon as Shu Ning arrived outside the underground interrogation room, she saw Yi Yuan and the others inside.

She was wondering why, when she and Xiao Chong became partners last time, she could at least see Xuan Mo and the others, but this time, apart from Xuan Lin and Xiao Chong, not a single beast husband was present.

So that's where they are.

She glanced at the group of them.

Everyone except Xuan Lin, Xuan Mo, and Xiao Chong was present.

Jin Tong walked over, took her hand, and said, "Ning Ning, leave this to us."

“That’s right, they’re so stubborn, but my poison is already prepared.” Mo Li said with a light laugh, holding a snail shell filled with some unknown liquid.

Shu Ning shivered as she looked into his dangerous eyes.

"Didn't they say anything?"

"Mm," Yi Yuan replied.

"I don't think we need to waste time waiting for them to speak. Let's just kill them and wipe out the jackal tribe as well."

"Heh, that's a good idea. Let's just wipe them out. What do you think, Ningning?" Yan nodded approvingly at Yiyuan.

Shu Ning's lips twitched.

"Everyone, please don't act rashly."

She didn't want the system to assign her another task—saving endangered species.

"Although it appears that the jackals want my life, I suspect there's someone else behind it all."

"Shu Ning, how is your relationship with your sisters usually?" Yan asked.

Nightmare recalled the female who had pretended to faint in front of his cave last night. He asked the wolf-beast who had brought him and learned that she was Xingyu, Shu Ning's non-blood-related sister.

He didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but when he thought about Shu Ning being intercepted by the jackals, he watched her "performance" for a while.

He was just showing her some concern, but she unexpectedly launched into a long, pitiful tirade, claiming that Shu Ning was to blame. She described how Shu Ning used to be so savage, domineering, and incredibly ugly, and how she couldn't stand any females who were prettier than her, especially towards her, constantly beating and verbally abusing her...

Nightmare couldn't bear to watch her get more and more agitated and pretend to be scared, so he had the wolf-beastman next to him take her back.

"With Mu Yu and the others?"

“I don’t usually spend much time with them. I only see them occasionally at wolf clan meetings or bonfire parties,” Shu Ning recalled.

"What's wrong? Did you make any new discoveries?"

"Watch out for your sister," he warned.

"Star Language?"

"Um."

Shu Ning recalled her younger sister Xingyu, saying that she usually liked to follow Muyu around and wasn't very close to her.

I like following Muyu...

It seems she can't keep focusing on Mu Yu all the time.

Sometimes what's on the surface isn't the truth.

"Nightmare, thank you for reminding me."

"You're welcome."

Then, Shu Ning entered the cave where the jackals were being held.

Jin Tong and the others followed them inside.

Shu Ning looked at the group of people who were tied to the stone pillars and refused to yield even in the face of death.

"Do you think that just because you refuse to reveal the real culprit, I won't be able to find out?"

Then she took out the animal bone necklace stored in her space.

"You recognize this thing, right?"

When the jackal beastmen looked up and saw this, some of their eyes flashed with surprise, but they remained silent, though they were already getting restless.

"If you don't tell me, then don't blame me."

"What are you going to do to our leader?" one of the orcs couldn't help but ask.

Another orc quickly pulled the orc who was speaking back.

"How about it?" Shu Ning paused deliberately and sneered.

"Of course, we'd skin him to make clothes, and then cut off his flesh to make roast meat."

Upon hearing her words, Jin Tong looked at the usually gentle Shu Ning, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

However, her personality was just right for him.

She should show more of herself so that all those beastly men who like delicate women will stay away from her.

In this way, she would be all his alone.

"How dare you!" a jackal beastman roared angrily, struggling against the ropes binding him.

"Stop bragging! You're just a female who knows how to sit around and wait to die. How dare you kill any living creature!"

"What do I have to be afraid of? You've all heard of my reputation."

The original owner's infamous reputation was known even to the Jiaolong clan, let alone the Jackal clan, which was closer to the Wolf clan.

But she wanted more than just that.

"Your leader seems to be close to our wolf clan, right? He seems to be... under the command of one of our wolf clan's female beastmen."

"What do you think will happen if I hand this over to the real culprit?"

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for them to say anything more.

After she came out, Jin Tong gave her a thumbs up.

Shu Ning couldn't help but smile slightly when she saw his reaction to her.

"Aren't you afraid that the real culprit behind this won't wait to kill you?"

She had considered what Jin Tong said.

"Yes, what should we do? What if they really come to kill me?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Ningning will be with me from now on, and she can sleep with me at night," Yiyuan said.

“If we sleep with you, and those who want to find her discover she’s not there, how are we supposed to catch the real culprit?” Jin Tong complained.

"It would be safer for me to go to Ningning Cave and sleep with her."
