Chapter 108 An Encounter by the River
"Mo Li?"
Shu Ning looked up and saw the moonlight shimmering on his blue scales. Now, in his half-form, he was much higher than the water.
His slender body exuded the elegance and power of a dragon prince, and water droplets slid down his muscle contours before flowing back into the river.
Although her body was not easily visible in the water, he had already seen it clearly while she was submerged.
His vertical pupils, under the moonlight, took on a pale golden hue that seemed to see through everything.
"What are you doing here?" Shu Ning remembered that she had just done something with Xiao Chong, and the time interval was not long, so she felt like he was still there.
Did he see all the intimate things she and Xiao Chong were doing just now?
"Hehehe..." Shu Ning chuckled awkwardly in a low voice, a blush rising on her face.
The thought that she was still completely naked while he had just been in the water made her blush even more.
She unconsciously sank a little deeper into the water.
They were trying to cover something with the river water.
Mo Li did not answer immediately. He slowly approached her, his slender fingers gently tracing the fresh bite marks on her shoulder. His eyes darkened, and the heat that had just been suppressed by the icy river water was now rising rapidly within him.
"Your voice can be heard throughout the entire river," he said in a low voice, suppressing a burning desire within him.
Xiao Chong noticed the undercurrent in the depths of his eyes, and he alertly pulled Shu Ning into his arms.
He knew that male Jiaolong were more eager to do that kind of thing on the night of the full moon than usual.
Shu Ning had just suffered at his hands, and he couldn't bear to see her suffer "bullying" from her other beast husbands again.
Especially the one in front of me.
Shu Ning was unaware of this. She had only looked at Mo Li's preferences before, and the other obscure characteristics of the Jiao Clan were not specifically written there, so she hadn't looked at them much at the time.
They were just guessing that Mo Li might have been taking a bath or sleeping nearby and had been woken up by them.
"I'm sorry, Mo Li, we didn't know you were around here..."
“I can’t sleep.” Mo Li interrupted her, moving closer to her, his fingers sliding from her shoulder to her collarbone, then to the side of her neck. “Ningning, you know what? I’m really agitated tonight because of your… activities…”
After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and the air was filled with her unique feminine fragrance.
And then there was the scent of his recent intimacy with Xiao Chong, which made the turmoil in his heart even more agitated.
Shu Ning could feel the coolness of his fingertips, completely different from Xiao Chong's burning touch.
Mo Li rarely expressed his dissatisfaction to her, but it seems that this time he has really bothered her.
Considering Mo Li's characteristics, if she only cares about Xiao Chong and neglects him, his favorability rating is likely to drop.
"Mo Li." She reached out and took his hand that was touching hers. "Not tonight. I promised Xiao Chong."
Upon hearing this, a hint of tenderness flashed in Xiao Chong's eyes, then he looked at Mo Li triumphantly, a smile curving his lips.
But the moment he heard Shu Ning's next words, his expression turned icy cold.
"How about tomorrow night?" Shu Ning asked quickly when she saw Mo Li's increasingly saddened expression.
"How about tonight?" His voice carried a hint of danger.
"He's already over it, hasn't he?" Mo Li whispered with a smile in her ear.
Shu Ning's heart raced, unsure whether it was from nervousness or something else. Since she had met him, Mo Li had rarely shown such possessiveness.
Her impression of him was that of a protective beastman who would do anything for a female, regardless of what that female was like. But at this moment, however, he made her feel a little nervous.
Was it that her preconceived notions about him were shattered, or that she had never truly understood him?
"Mo Li, you..." Shu Ning was about to say something when Xiao Chong pulled her behind her.
“She’s tired tonight,” Xiao Chong said coldly, a warning hidden deep in his eyes.
Mo Li looked at the female in front of her being protected behind Xiao Chong, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, "What does my business with her have to do with you?"
“She is my partner!” Xiao Chong said in an unquestionable tone.
“It’s mine too.” Mo Li replied calmly, but her fingers clenched into a fist.
Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, Shu Ning quickly spoke up, "Xiao Chong, Mo Li just..."
“Ningning, you don’t need to explain for him,” Xiao Chong interrupted her, then glared at Mo Li. “She just suffered at my hands, Jiao Clan, now is not the time.”
He directly referred to Mo Li as a member of the Jiao Clan.
Mo Li's lips curled into a cold smile: "Don't think you're so great just because you're nice to her. Why don't you ask her what she wants?"
Xiao Chong's silver-gray eyes turned to Shu Ning, his worry and possessiveness clearly visible.
Shu Ning knew what he was worried about. His beast husbands were all strong and powerful. When Xiao Chong was with her, he was careful not to take too much from them.
However, the control seems somewhat unclear.
At least that's how she felt.
“She needs to rest.” Xiao Chong’s voice lowered, but his tone remained firm.
“Perhaps she needs a different experience.” Mo Li looked at Shu Ning, a kind of crazy possessiveness hidden beneath her gentle surface. “The Jiao Clan’s methods are much gentler than the Wolf Clan’s.”
Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in Xiao Chong's eyes, and he said in an unquestionable tone, "I said, she needs to rest."
Mo Li did not respond to him, her eyes turned sinister, and she glared angrily at Xiao Chong.
"Enough!" Shu Ning took a step forward, her voice suddenly rising, carrying an unquestionable commanding tone.
The two, a male and a female, who were glaring at each other and about to transform into their original forms and fight, stopped at the same time.
Xiao Chong turned his ear toward her, while Mo Li's vertical pupils contracted slightly.
Shu Ning took a deep breath, water droplets dripping from her hair. "I am not a spoils of war for you to fight over," she said, enunciating each word clearly. "I have the right to decide what's best for my own body."
A brief silence fell over the river, broken only by the sound of flowing water and the heavy breathing of the two men.
Xiao Chong took a step back and took Shu Ning's hand. "Ning Ning is right." His voice was apologetic, but his silver-gray eyes were still watching Mo Li warily.
Mo Li slowly relaxed, and the scales on her body gradually returned to normal. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to force you."
His gaze shifted to Shu Ning, "Don't forget, tomorrow night... you're mine."
He suppressed the rage rising within him and restrained his inner impulses, his tone carrying a dangerous allure.
Shu Ning bit her lip. She had always told Mo Li that she liked him and wanted to get along well with him, but she had never chosen him.
This made her feel like a scumbag woman, constantly trying to hook him.
"Don't worry, tomorrow night is yours." She said, looking at Mo Li.
“But I’ll still be with Xiao Chong tonight,” she finally decided.
Upon hearing Shu Ning's words, Xiao Chong picked her up and lifted her from the water.
Shu Ning immediately reached out and wrapped her arms around Xiao Chong, trying her best not to expose too much of herself.
Although both were her beastly husbands, and she had already met the first two, the second one was about to follow...
