Chapter 107 Full Moon
The beastmen by the campfire, seeing her being carried away like that, knew what was going to happen to her that night, and remained silent, continuing to quietly gnaw on their roasted meat.
In the beast world, the rule is that whoever gets permission first has the right.
Everyone present knew that no one was more deserving of her than Xiao Chong.
What they didn't know was that two beastmen had already succeeded.
At this moment, Mu Yu saw Shu Ning being taken away by Xiao Chong, so she walked over and sat in the empty seat that had just been occupied by Shu Ning.
At first, Xuan Lin thought it was Shu Ning who had returned, and he was secretly delighted.
But when he looked up and saw that it was Mu Yu, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Xuan Lin, if you want, I can too..."
Upon seeing that it was her, Xuan Lin immediately got up and left without listening to what she said at all.
"Ugh, Xuan Lin!" Mu Yu felt a surge of annoyance when she saw the look of disgust in his eyes.
She awkwardly looked away, then suddenly glanced at Mo Li beside her, thinking that this male was not bad either.
If it weren't for that ugly, fat Shu Ning insisting on taking him away, then the third prince of the Jiao clan would already be hers.
Unfortunately, as soon as Shu Ning spoke, Mu Xia agreed, knowing that she couldn't win against her.
"Mo Li..."
As soon as she spoke, Mo Li got up and left.
"Sigh!" She watched as Mo Li, just like Xuan Lin, left without listening to her at all, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Then Jin Tong and Yan also got up and left.
Jin Tong left immediately, while Yan paused for a moment, looking down at the female.
She thought of her new black bear husband and her jackal husband.
I recalled hearing about Shu Ning being attacked by the Black Bear Clan, and also about Shu Ning being ambushed by the Jackal Clan recently.
He knew that his dear younger sister, Xingyu, couldn't have done all this by herself.
She must have played a part in this.
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he thought of this.
Sensing the unfriendly gaze behind her, Mu Yu looked up and saw a pair of terrifying purple-gold eyes staring down at her, instantly sending chills down her spine.
She was startled by that look and quickly got up.
Suddenly remembering that she was the daughter of the tribe's holy matriarch, she gently raised her chin, using her proud gaze to conceal her inner timidity.
But the thought that he was the king of the entire Crimson Tiger tribe made her disdain vanish instantly, and she returned to her beastmen as if nothing had happened.
On the way back to Shu Ning Cave—
Shu Ning was being held by Xiao Chong, with her left hand on his left shoulder and her right hand behind his neck.
She could feel his muscles tense, yet his movements were gentle, as if she were some precious treasure that needed to be held in his hands and gently cared for.
She looked up at him, and from this angle she could see his clearly defined jawline and the prominent Adam's apple on his neck.
Xiao Chong felt her gaze fixed on him, swallowed hard, and his Adam's apple bobbed slowly.
Upon noticing this detail, Shu Ning's mind immediately wandered, and she was so embarrassed that she quickly looked away from the two people behind her.
The flames of the campfire behind him gradually faded into the distance, and Xiao Chong's steps were steady and slow, as if he were deliberately prolonging the journey.
His hot breath sprayed against her ear, making the atmosphere between them even more ambiguous.
She could feel his heartbeat pounding against her body.
At that moment, her heart was also racing, so fast that she could only hear her own heartbeat. She wanted to control this frantic beating and try to slow it down.
The thunderous beating seemed to be telling him, on her behalf, that she was excited and looking forward to it.
She buried her head in his chest, too ashamed to look at him again.
Feeling the warmth of his chest, she felt as if she were lying in a cradle, calm and safe.
Feeling the female nestled in his arms, Xiao Chong looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and tightened his grip on her arms.
As she got closer to the cave, Shu Ning's heart raced faster and faster as she thought about what was about to happen, and her palms became slightly sweaty.
Night had fallen, and a bright full moon hung in the sky, as if announcing to all things on this land that an important matter would be completed tonight.
Upon entering the cave, it wasn't particularly dark. Shu Ning looked up and glanced around.
To her surprise, she discovered that the rock walls of her cave were inlaid with faintly glowing snake scales.
She stared at the snake scales, remembering the same snake scales in the cave on the day she and Yiyuan held their second wedding.
Could it be that he decorated it for her?
How did he know she was afraid...?
She remembered when she first arrived, she went to find him specifically and even wanted to sleep in his cave.
Xiao Chong stared blankly at the female in his arms after seeing all of Yi Yuan's things.
“Yiyuan is a good beast husband, but Ningning…” He paused deliberately, looking at her with his silver-gray eyes, “shouldn’t we focus on our business?”
Shu Ning snapped out of her daze upon hearing Xiao Chong's words and looked at him.
Our affair...
Realizing what had happened, the blush on her face instantly spread to the roots of her ears.
Something occurred to her, and she asked, "Brother Xiao Chong, how did you know that Yi Yuan did these things?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong said, "In the entire wolf clan, who else besides him could have these snake scales, hmm?"
Shu Ning thought about it and agreed.
Of the entire wolf clan, only two snake-beastmen would do these things for her.
Xuanmo is black, and he seems to no longer be a member of the wolf clan.
I just don't know where he went that day.
She hadn't thought anything of it when she didn't see him before.
She hadn't seen him for only one day, but she was already worried about him.
She had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen.
It couldn't be Xuanmo, so the only one who would do that is Yiyuan, since they could still see him when they returned from collecting Xuanjing Stones.
She didn't notice these things when she came back to sleep during the day because the light was too bright.
Now that it's dark, we can see it better.
This effect looks like a luminous pearl, absorbing light during the day and emitting a faint glow at night.
Xiao Chong did not rush to put her down, but instead held her in his arms and stood in the center of the cave, looking down into her eyes.
"Are you scared?" he asked, his voice soft to the point of being dangerous.
Shu Ning shook her head.
She could feel his taut muscles and his almost burning body temperature.
"Don't be afraid, I know..." She looked at him shyly.
"You'll be gentle," she whispered.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong's lips curved into a wider smile, and the smile in his eyes carried a kind of aggressiveness she had never seen before.
"Gentle?" His voice was low and husky. "Ningning, you trust me that much?"
"Hmm..." Shu Ning replied hesitantly.
She had initially believed it, but after seeing the look in his eyes, she was no longer sure.
Then, Xiao Chong gently placed her on the bed covered with animal hides...
