Chapter 121 The Question of Staying or Leaving
Shu Ning noticed a grilled fish that had been placed by the bedside sometime earlier, so she picked one up and started eating.
After finishing our meal, we got up and prepared to leave.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Xiao Chong walking towards her. "Xiao Chong!" she called out.
"Ningning." Xiao Chong opened his arms to welcome her hug.
"Brother Xiao Chong, what do you need me for?" Shu Ning asked.
"The Holy Mother wants to see you." Xiao Chong patted her head.
"What does Mother want with me?"
She was planning to go to the prison, but if it wasn't urgent, she would have declined.
“Xuanmo and his father are both here,” Xiao Chong said.
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning guessed that Xuan Mo had released his father.
An awkward expression immediately appeared on his face, "They..."
"It's alright, don't be afraid, let's go." Xiao Chong thought he was afraid of the Black Serpent Clan and comforted him.
"Um."
Muxia Cave Mansion —
Ansha, who was talking to Muxia, suddenly saw Shu Ning arrive and called out, "Ningning!"
All the other orcs present showed some surprise in their eyes.
Shu Ning glanced around and saw that, apart from her mother and father, An Sha and Xuan Mo, her other beast husbands and other people of status in the tribe were also there.
What's going on here?!
Shu Ning was stunned.
Could it be that she found out about bringing the Black Serpent Beastmen to the Wolf Clan?
Are they all waiting to criticize her?
If that's the case, their expressions should be serious right now.
Let's see how things go first.
"Mother, Father," she called out to Mu Xia and Shu Yanzhao.
"Hey!" Ansha answered first when Shu Ning called out to her father.
The other orcs present were taken aback.
The most surprised were the orcs of the Black Serpent Clan.
Their king has been in a good mood ever since he came to the wolf clan.
Today, I was as happy as if I had finally recognized my long-lost daughter.
"Hehehe... Xuanmo and Ningning are partners, so naturally I'm Ningning's father too." He laughed, noticing the surprised looks from the other beastmen around him.
“That’s right, that’s right, they’re both Ningning’s fathers,” Mu Xia said first. “Ningning, come and sit down.”
Xiao Chong and Shu Ning sat together after they went over.
After sitting down, Shu Ning looked around.
Mu Xia and Shu Yanzhao were at the very back, she and Xiao Chong were on the left, and Xuan Mo and An Sha were opposite them on the right.
Then her several beastmen sat down on either side of her.
"Now that everyone's here, let's begin," Mu Xia said.
"What is it?" Shu Ning asked Xiao Chong in a low voice.
"Don't be nervous," Xiao Chong said softly.
"Ahem, well then I'll speak first," Ansha said. "Regarding Ningning's whereabouts, I think returning to our Black Serpent Clan is the best arrangement."
"I disagree," the witch doctor was the first to stand up and say. "If Shu Ning leaves, what will happen to our wolf clan?"
“There are other outstanding females in the wolf clan, and Ningning isn’t the only one. Of course, our Ningning is also very outstanding,” Ansha said.
“No, in my heart, Shu Ning is the most outstanding among the younger generation of female wolves in our wolf clan,” the witch doctor said firmly.
Ansha never expected that a witch doctor could look at Shu Ning with such respect. It seems he needs to step up his efforts to win Shu Ning's "custody".
“I also disagree with Shu Ning going to the Black Serpent Clan,” the High Priest said. “She is the daughter of our Wolf Clan’s Holy Mother and Chieftain, and she is a source of stability for our Wolf Clan.”
The high priest did not directly mention Shu Ning's contributions to the wolf clan, fearing that An Sha would be even more unwilling to give up if he knew.
The servants standing to the side nodded.
Ansha gave the snake-beastmen beside him a look, and they immediately understood.
One of them spoke up, "As long as Shu Ning goes to our Black Snake Clan, she will be the chief's wife of our Black Snake Clan."
“Yes, she will be the queen of the Black Serpent tribe from now on,” another serpent beastman said, raising his voice.
"Hahaha." Nightmare laughed, then said, "What a joke, that will have to wait until later. Ningning is already the queen of our Crimson Flame Tiger Clan."
"You..." The snake-beastman who had just spoken was instantly choked by his words.
Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent for a moment.
“Your Crimson Tiger tribe is nowhere near as big as our Black Serpent tribe. Yours doesn’t count,” Ansha said.
"Is that so? Do you dare to fight?" Yan raised his voice, looking down on them.
“What’s there to be afraid of!?” Ansha retorted, not to be outdone.
...
Seeing their heated argument, Shu Ning couldn't help but worry that the two tribes might actually start fighting.
Xiao Chong felt her hand gripping his animal hide tightly and noticed her tense expression.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a formality," he said in a low voice, leaning close to her ear.
Just as Shu Ning was about to stand up and say something, she suddenly heard Xiao Chong's words.
She looked at him with a puzzled expression.
At this moment, Xuan Lin, who was sitting to her right, suddenly put his hand on her shoulder and said softly, "It's just to give them face."
"Don't worry, the Holy Mother won't really let you go to the Black Serpent Clan."
Hearing this, Shu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Mu Xia and the others with calm expressions, even a slight smile.
And yet they're arguing so fiercely.
She almost believed it.
She looked at Xuan Mo opposite her. His face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He probably wants to go back.
However, he strongly resisted the living environment of the Black Serpent Clan.
She suddenly remembered the system's notification.
How can we get through this hurdle as quickly as possible?
The mention of the main character made her feel a slight sense of dread.
So what if he's the main character? Who's afraid of who?
Thinking of this, she sat up straight.
"I'll say something," Shu Yanzhao said.
Although he doesn't usually handle clan affairs, Shu Ning is still his biological daughter.
Her "father" from another tribe has come to the wolf clan to snatch his daughter away, so he has to make a good impression.
“Ningning is my biological daughter. As her father, I naturally want the best for her. As for whether she should go to the Black Snake Clan or stay in the Wolf Clan, I think it would be better for her to stay in the Wolf Clan.”
“We will treat her well when she goes to the Black Serpent Clan, especially since Xuanmo’s mother is particularly fond of females. I guarantee that Ningning will not only not be bullied, but will also receive the highest level of treatment.”
“Since we haven’t reached a conclusion yet, I suggest that Ningning live with the Wolf Clan long-term and only visit the Black Snake Clan occasionally,” Shu Yanzhao said.
“Hmm, not bad…” the other wolf-beastmen echoed.
“No, no, it can’t be just going occasionally,” Ansha said. “It should be at least once a month.”
“A month…no way!” Shu Yanzhao said.
"If each of her beastmen requires Ningning to visit their tribe once a month, then Ningning would have to go out for at least six days a month and stay overnight. That means Ningning would be away from the wolf tribe for half a month every month." He quickly denied this, "No, no..."
Shu Ning noticed Shu Yanzhao's mention of six days. Didn't she have two beast husbands who were wolf clan members?
She glanced at the two beastmen beside her who were listening intently, her eyes filled with doubt.
