Chapter 12 New Mission
This system... it just finished its task this morning, it really doesn't give her a break.
However, the timing of the distribution was quite opportune.
Then let me show you what I, Shu Ning, am capable of!
So now... who should we go to?
Xuan Lin? I'm not familiar with him. I already experienced his teachings on my first day here, so I don't dare to provoke him for now.
Xuanmo? I'm not familiar with him. I was attacked by the Black Serpent Clan this morning, so I dare not look for him now. Although he saved me the day before yesterday, who knows if he was involved?
Yi Yuan? She often brings him food because she saved him before, but the original owner of this body also took advantage of his kindness, so it's not a good idea.
Jin Tong? Not familiar with her. I just told her this afternoon that I wish she would never contact him again.
Mo Li? Heh, maybe that's possible...
Although everyone dislikes her, Mo Li seems to give her the impression that... she probably doesn't dislike her that much.
After applying the pearl powder, Shu Ning set off for Mo Li's cave once again.
This time she chose to use teleportation; she didn't want to appear in front of him covered in sweat.
In the blink of an eye, Shu Ning appeared at the entrance of Mo Li's cave—
"Mo Li... Mo Li..." Shu Ning called out at the entrance of his cave.
Is Mo Li not in the cave again?
Or are they already asleep?
Why are you looking for him again?
Just as Shu Ning was about to go in and take a look, she heard a deep and clear voice, with a hint of impatience in its tone.
That familiar voice, that familiar tone... it's definitely that little fox.
Shu Ning turned around, about to retort, but then she thought again, she couldn't do that. He was her beastly husband, and she had to conquer him.
Besides, I doubt Mo Li is in the cave, and I don't know when he'll be back, or even if he'll be back tonight.
“I…” She bit her lower lip gently, looking embarrassed and speechless for a moment.
What reason could be both reasonable and make him less averse to her?
"What are you saying?" Jin Tong looked at her like this, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite put his finger on.
"I came to check if his wound is getting better, and I also wanted to see you!" Shu Ning said, raising her chin to try and make herself seem believable.
The man frowned slightly when he heard her say she was looking for Mo Li.
Are you that concerned about him?
"What do you want?" Jin Tong didn't expect her to say that, and his deep eyes seemed to sparkle like stars.
But what could a female possibly be doing looking for a male so late at night?
This fat female isn't thinking of...
Thinking of this, a hint of disdain flashed in Jin Tong's fiery red eyes, and his handsome brows furrowed into a deep frown.
Yeah, why would we need to talk to him?
Shu Ning found herself in an awkward situation once again.
You can't exactly say you want to sleep with him.
...
Got it!
"I came to find you to tell you that I haven't used your knife yet, and I'll return it to you later," Shu Ning said firmly.
She had just caught a glimpse of the disdain in his eyes.
This man is probably a bit difficult to win over; we'll have to wait and see.
"Just for this?" Jin Tong looked at Shu Ning questioningly, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing slightly.
"Um."
Seeing Shu Ning nod, he remained silent for a moment, then softened his tone slightly: "It's okay if it's a little later, just use it quickly."
After saying that, he left.
"You won't be able to wait for Mo Li. He just went out. I advise you not to wait anymore." Jin Tong's voice drifted into the distance.
Upon hearing Jin Tong's last words, Shu Ning immediately deflated.
If we don't look for Mo Li, then we can only... find another beast husband!
But who should she look for? Shu Ning pondered as she walked.
The remaining three... have all been subjected to the original owner's "methods," so they are not so easy to win over.
Shu Ning decided to go find Yi Yuan.
It was completely dark by now, and the road was hard to spot. There was no moonlight tonight, so she was hesitant to walk alone at night.
She decided to use the teleportation ability again.
"Yiyuan..." Shu Ning called out excitedly upon seeing the cave entrance.
Upon hearing the female outside the cave calling out another male's name, Xuanmo frowned slightly, not wanting to pay her any attention.
But the female kept shouting, which annoyed him.
Shu Ning didn't see Yi Yuan and was about to go back when she suddenly saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the black hole with long, slender legs.
Shu Ning looked on expectantly, then her expression turned to confusion—
The figure before me seems somewhat different from Yi Yuan's...
"This is Xuan Mo!" Shu Ning exclaimed in shock, instinctively covering her mouth. Had she teleported to the wrong place?
Beneath the man's jet-black hair were exquisite features, a handsome face, and skin as white as ice, exuding a chilling aura. His beautiful eyes were glaring angrily at Shu Ning.
Upon seeing the female before him, the anger in his eyes vanished, replaced by a hint of surprise.
It had only been two days since I last saw her, but she seemed to have lost some of her weight, and her face looked cleaner.
Seeing Xuan Mo staring at her with a strange look, Shu Ning finally realized what was happening.
How could she have forgotten Yiyuan and Xuanmo's cave!
"Um, I'm sorry... I went to the wrong place..." Shu Ning apologized.
Looking into the eyes of the stunningly handsome man before her, Shu Ning turned away after speaking, feeling her face burning and her heart pounding.
I don't know if it's attraction or fear of him...
He then turned and ran.
Shu Ning, who had disappeared into the woods, planned to use teleportation again, but this time she couldn't afford to make a mistake!
...
When I opened my eyes again, I was at the entrance of another cave.
After carefully observing her surroundings, Shu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said confidently, "This time it should be right!"
"What do you mean, 'not wrong'?" Yi Yuan looked at Shu Ning below.
He lay down on the tree in front of the cave, intending to sleep there that night. He had just closed his eyes when he heard a female voice.
He was somewhat surprised at when this female had appeared.
With his extraordinary ability to sense ground vibrations, it was impossible for him not to notice the commotion around him, let alone this fat female.
Shu Ning was startled by the sudden sound. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw Yi Yuan lying on his side on a thick, crooked tree, one hand supporting his handsome head, the other playing with a leaf, watching her with great interest.
"N-nothing..." Shu Ning looked at the handsome man in the tree and, thinking about the purpose of her visit, said somewhat shyly.
Are you getting ready for bed?
He wouldn't just sleep in the tree like that, would he? What would happen to her then?
"What do you want?" Yi Yuan continued to play with the leaves, not looking at her.
Shu Ning swallowed hard, and mustered her courage to tentatively ask, "Um... can I stay here for the night?"
"Don't you have your own cave? Why do you have to come here?"
His gaze was deep, with a faint smile in it, as he lingered on her, as if waiting for her next reaction.
"I'm not very safe by myself, so can I stay here for the night? I won't bother you anymore after the door is installed tomorrow."
"Why don't you go find someone else?" Yi Yuan looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
This female used to sleep alone, why has she become so timid?
"I wouldn't dare, I treated them like that before..."
"Heh... So you still know what you did in the past?" Yi Yuan said sarcastically.
...
"Didn't you just take in two new beast husbands?" The speaker's tone was displeased as he thought about Shu Ning's recent changes.
"them……"
What should Shu Ning say? One person doesn't like her, and the other can't be found.
"Can't I just sleep here?" Shu Ning said loudly, her face flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him anymore.
How embarrassing! What kind of girl is so proactive?
Will he agree?
