Chapter 123 Striving for Excellence
"Our leader is not someone you can just see whenever you want!" the snake-beastman said in an unfriendly tone.
“I’m talking about your chief’s wife, something you have no right to know,” Anliang said.
“This…” one of the snake-beastmen hesitated, then ran to find their leader.
He returned quickly, a moment later, and said coldly, "Our leader wants to see you."
"Alright!" Anliang exclaimed happily.
A moment later, they arrived at Han She's cave.
Anliang looked at the male in front of him, who was dressed entirely in black with his back to him, even his hair was jet black.
He exuded a dangerous aura, and his mere presence sent a chill down his spine.
His silhouette resembled Xuanmo's, but he exuded an undeniable and powerful leadership aura.
"Are you the leader of the Serpent Tribe?" Anliang asked tentatively in a low voice.
"Get to the point," said the snake-beastman beside him.
"You may step back now," Han She said to the snake-beastman beside her.
"Yes, Chief." The snake-beastman went out after hearing this.
Han She immediately turned around, her tone cold and somewhat urgent, "How is she now?"
“She…she’s doing fine now.” Anliang swallowed hard, looking into his cold eyes. He hadn’t felt that aura in a long time.
Upon hearing this, Han She lowered her eyes and looked away, letting out a slight sigh of relief.
"How many beast husbands does she have?" he asked in a low voice, his brows furrowed slightly.
“Seven,” Anliang said.
Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed deep in Han She's eyes, and she continued to ask, "What are their names, and what are their identities? Be more specific."
Upon hearing this, An Liang raised his voice and introduced, "The first one is Xuan Lin, the top male of our wolf clan."
"The second is Xuanmo of the Black Serpent Clan, and the third is Yiyuan, the leader of the Viper Tribe." As he said this, he glanced at Han She.
His eyes were dark and he continued, "The fourth and fifth are Jin Tong, the son of the Fox Clan Chief, and Mo Li, the third prince of the Jiao Clan."
"The sixth is Xiao Chong, the top male of our wolf clan, and the last is Yan, the king of the Crimson Flame Tiger tribe."
After An Liang finished speaking, his eyes darkened completely, and his expression became gloomy and profound.
After a moment, he spoke, "Are they all good to her?"
Hearing this, An Liang immediately became interested. "They're all doing well, especially Xiao Chong. He was willing to be her partner even when she was overweight. At the time, her other beast husbands were quite disgusted with her, but things got better later."
Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Han She's eyes, and a feeling she couldn't quite express welled up in her heart.
She must have been feeling terrible back then.
If only I had met her back then...
"The other beastmen are all good too. For example, Nightmare specifically sent his tribe's orcs to protect our wolf clan," Anliang continued.
"Oh right, and the night she was ambushed by the jackals, almost all the beastmen went. I was so envious of that scene!" An Liang recalled, though she had only heard it from Luo Ci.
Upon hearing that Shu Ning had been attacked by the jackals, a dangerous glint flashed in Han She's eyes. "Who wants to harm her?!" he roared angrily, gripping An Liang's animal hide.
"It's...it's Xingyu, but she's already...already been arrested." He stammered, looking at the expression in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Han She clenched his fists. He had thought it would be Mu Yu, but he hadn't expected that someone else wanted to harm her.
And her other beastly husbands, are they so useless that they can't even realize someone is trying to harm her?
Why couldn't she just get rid of the orc who wanted to harm her?
Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, An Liang couldn't help but feel scared and looked away.
Wolf tribe
"Oh my, look at this! Your wolf clan is really something!"
When Ansha saw so many campfires, he was first surprised, but when he saw that the other wolf beastmen were quite calm, he suppressed his shock and then showed surprise on the surface.
“Brother An, your Black Serpent Clan is quite something!” Shu Yanzhao said, “You even gave birth to Xuanmo so well.”
“Of course, he’s our only son, so naturally we want to give him the best of everything,” An Sha said, his words carrying a hint.
Then, just as he was about to sit down, he glanced at their seats.
Their seats this time were similar to the last time, except that there was an additional person named An Sha to Xuan Mo's left.
"Tsk!" Ansha saw that Xuanmo was sitting so far away from Shu Ning and couldn't help but worry about Xuanmo.
"Xuanmo, come sit down quickly." He nudged Xuanmo's shoulder with his arm.
Xuanmo looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Over there!" Ansha pointed in the direction with her eyes.
Xuanmo looked in the direction he was pointing, where Shu Ning was standing and talking to Xiao Chong.
After talking with Xiao Chong, she squatted down next to Mo Li and said something to him.
Some of them had already sat down, while others were still standing.
Xuanmo looked at her, recalling how she had rejected him in the cave and then struggled to break free from him in the river.
His eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head to continue grilling his meat.
"Oh dear, you little rascal, you never fight for anything, how will Ningning notice you?" He was worried about Xuanmo when he saw Jintong run to her side.
"Look, look, even that little fox knows better than you to take the initiative to get close to its females!" He nudged Xuanmo again.
Upon hearing this, Xuanmo frowned slightly, but still did not get up.
Seeing that Xuanmo remained unmoved no matter what he said, Ansha felt that he still had to rely on his old father.
"Ningning!" he called out, interrupting Shu Ning's conversation with Jin Tong.
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning looked up in this direction, briefly explained something to Jin Tong, and then walked over.
"Father, what do you want to see me about?" Shu Ning asked.
"It's nothing, it's just... I wanted to ask you how they eat this?" He pointed to the roasted meat in Yan's hand and made up an excuse.
"Oh, this is grilled meat. You just cut the meat into pieces, skewer them, and then grill them over a fire," Shu Ning explained.
"I still don't understand... Could you teach me carefully?" Ansha said, feigning confusion.
“No problem,” Shu Ning said, and was about to squat down between him and her father, Shu Yanzhao.
"Hey, Ningning, sit here, sit here." He pointed to the empty seat next to Xuanmo.
Shu Ning immediately understood his intention and said, "Okay." Then she sat down next to Xuan Mo.
"Well, Brother An, the competition is about to start. I'll head over first. You should enjoy the barbecue while you're at it," Shu Yanzhao said.
“Hey, Brother Shu, Brother Shu,” An Sha said, standing up. “I’ll go too.”
Shu Yanzhao could tell that he wanted to give Shu Ning and Xuan Mo some space to spend together, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it together."
Ansha turned to look at Xuanmo, giving him a look that said, "Xuanmo, you have to live up to expectations."
Then he said to Shu Ning, "Ningning, you guys eat first, don't worry about us."
“Mm,” Shu Ning replied.
Shu Ning watched Xuan Mo's father's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh.
He really loves Xuanmo.
This is probably one of the obstacles in Xuanmo's mind as well.
As she grilled the skewered meat, she planned in her mind how to find an excuse to search for the Queen Insect if she went to the Black Serpent Clan.
"Eat this." Xuanmo handed her the grilled meat and then took the meat she was grilling from her hand.
