Chapter 10 An Encounter with the Black Serpent Clan
After the banquet, Shu Ning was moved to Mo Li's former bedroom.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Shu Ning opened the seashell that Shu Ting had given her and gently applied the pearl powder inside to her face.
I waited expectantly for it to take effect, but after a while, it still didn't work.
Shu Ning was somewhat disappointed.
After a long day of running around, she was so tired that she lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.
When Mo Li returned and saw her fast asleep, her eyes flickered slightly. She covered her with a blanket and then went to sleep on the couch next to her.
The next morning, Shu Ning got up but didn't see Mo Li.
"Wasn't he here last night?" Shu Ning wondered.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw him carrying breakfast over.
"Let's eat." Mo Li said simply, but when she glanced at Shu Ning's face, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The pimples and blemishes on her face have faded.
"Okay, have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
"Let's go back today," Shu Ning said while eating.
“Hmm.” Mo Li’s expression was gloomy.
Seeing the look in Mo Li's eyes, she thought that he must be reluctant to part with her, and if it were her, she would definitely be reluctant to part with her as well.
However, she still had her own mission to complete, and having only spent two days with Mo Li, she wasn't confident she could get him to do that.
We can't delay any longer.
"If you miss the Jiao Clan, we can come back anytime," Shu Ning comforted him.
Mo Li's expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
He didn't expect her to say that. After spending the last two days together, he realized that she really seemed different from the rumored Shu Ning.
They were almost identical in appearance, only their character was quite different.
She seems to look better now; she must have applied the pearl powder her sister-in-law gave her last night.
"If you don't want to come with me, that's fine too. You can come back whenever you want, without worrying about me."
Shu Ning recalled how Mo Li had looked down on her before, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she added.
"Look how fast you walk, you're back in half a day, there's absolutely nothing to worry about."
"Okay, we'll go back after we finish eating," Mo Li said.
Seeing that he finally spoke, Shu Ning felt much more relaxed.
...
Outside the palace, Canglan held Moli and Shu Ning's hands and said reluctantly, "You must come back to visit often. Ningning, if anyone bullies you, come to the Jiao Clan to find us."
She looked at Shu Ning with some concern. She knew that Shu Ning was not the arrogant and domineering female that was rumored to be; she could tell that kind of personality at a glance.
"Li'er, you too, you must protect yourself and Ningning when you're out."
She knew that although Shu Ning had more than one beast husband, rumors said that her beast husbands never paid any attention to her, and some even wished she would disappear.
"Mother, don't worry. You and Father should also take good care of yourselves," Mo Li said.
After saying goodbye, Shu Ning, Mo Li, and the wolf clan beastmen prepared to set off.
"Come up."
Before Xiao Chong could speak, Mo Li transformed into her beast form and spoke to Shu Ning.
Shu Ning was stunned; she hadn't expected Mo Li to offer her a ride on his back.
"Come up." Seeing that she didn't move, Mo Li spoke again.
"Oh... okay." Shu Ning, realizing what was happening, happily climbed onto his back.
She was happy not only because he was willing to carry her, but also because it allowed her to complete her task.
"007, do I consider this a successful mission?" Shu Ning asked impatiently in her mind.
"Yes," the system replied.
"Congratulations, host, you have completed the main quest. Your ability level has been raised to level 1. You are rewarded with unlocked space and two additional teleportation attempts. You have also completed the return-to-the-home side quest, which rewards you with a chainsaw. You have also completed both quests ahead of schedule, which rewards you with a daily necessities gift pack."
Shu Ning was overjoyed to hear the system's reply.
She was eager to see what was inside the gift package, but for now she had to focus, since she was still with her beast husband.
Ideally, you should have tissues, shampoo, shower gel, facial cleanser, etc.
Yesterday, she used leaves to wipe herself when she went to the toilet...
What she couldn't stand most was being dirty; water couldn't wash away the oil on her body.
Shu Ning, who was lost in thought, was almost knocked down by Mo Li's sudden sway.
"Hold on tight!" Mo Li shouted.
"What happened?" Shu Ning asked.
“We’ve been attacked!” Xiao Chong replied.
"The fog is too thick here, we can't see each other clearly, everyone be careful!"
All the orcs became alert, gripping their bone knives and keeping a close eye on the surrounding mist.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only faint hissing sounds audible.
Suddenly, a black snake tail shot out and tightly wrapped around one of the wolf-men, binding its limbs so that it could not move.
Just as the other werewolf beastmen went to help, a hurried male voice suddenly came from the mist.
"Grab the big one, he's the third prince of the Jiaolong clan!"
Suddenly, countless black snake tails stretched out from all directions and attacked Shu Ning and Mo Li.
As the black snake tail drew ever closer, Xiao Chong and Mo Li fought back with all their might.
But after repelling one wave, another wave quickly followed.
No matter how skilled they were, they could not withstand the opponent.
Seeing that everyone was almost exhausted, and seeing the endless stream of black snake tails, Shu Ning suddenly thought of her teleportation ability. It could move objects, and she wondered if she could move herself and everyone else away.
She closed her eyes tightly, imagining the direction of the wolf pack...
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself still in the forest with everyone else.
But it's not the same place as before.
Everyone was fighting the black snakes when they suddenly realized that the black snakes had all disappeared, and the mist had also vanished. They looked at each other in confusion, but remained vigilant.
Shu Ning was also puzzled. Logically speaking, they should have already returned to the wolf clan by now.
Is the teleportation function not enough?
Never mind, escaping danger is good enough.
"Is everyone alright?" Xiao Chong asked warily, looking around.
"It's nothing," the other orcs replied.
But in reality, some injuries and bleeding are nothing to them as long as they don't die or lose an arm or a leg.
After a while, when they didn't see the black snake again, they breathed a sigh of relief.
The group rested on the spot, bandaging each other's wounds.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Chong asked Shu Ning.
"I'm fine," Shu Ning replied, turning to look at the bleeding wound on Mo Li's arm. Shu Ning went over and tore off a piece of animal hide from her own body to bandage it for him.
Mo Li's arm muscles were taut, with prominent veins, and blood flowed quickly.
"Don't move." Shu Ning shouted when she saw Mo Li's other hand trying to stop her.
And so, Mo Li let the female in front of him bandage him. His tense expression finally relaxed, and his eyebrows relaxed slightly.
After bandaging it up, Shu Ning looked at her arm, which was no longer bleeding.
I need to hurry back and apply some medicine," Shu Ning thought to herself.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chong's eyes flashed with jealousy.
After resting for a while, the group dared not linger and got up to continue their journey.
The journey home always seems to go by so quickly.
Soon, the group returned to the wolf tribe.
After parting ways, Shu Ning returned to the cave and opened the encyclopedia to see where she could find herbs to treat her wounds.
