Chapter 124 Stop it
"Thank you, Xuanmo!" Shu Ning said, taking the meat skewers from his hand.
Xuanmo didn't speak. Hearing her say thank you, he felt a little happy, but on the surface he remained calm.
“By the way, Xuanmo, you…” Shu Ning looked up at him.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she thought she saw him...smiling?
Upon hearing her voice, Xuanmo composed himself and turned to look at her.
“Xuanmo, I’ve never been to the Black Serpent Clan before. How about we go back to the Black Serpent Clan tomorrow?” Shu Ning cut straight to the point, observing his reaction.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo looked at her, his heart churning with emotion, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes. But when he thought of the current state of the Black Serpent Clan, his eyes dimmed.
"Don't go," he said.
"Don't refuse so quickly!" Shu Ning didn't expect him to refuse so directly.
Then she hugged his arm and said, "Xuanmo, please take me to see him."
"I haven't even seen what the Black Serpent Clan Chief looks like, and your mother too. I've been married for so long and I still haven't met her. Don't you want to introduce me to her?"
She rested her chin on his arm, looked up at him, and her eyes shone with sincerity. "Take me to the Black Serpent Clan, Xuanmo, okay?"
Xuanmo felt her arm around his, his eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "Mm."
Upon hearing Xuan Mo's agreement, Shu Ning happily exclaimed, "That's great!" and then leaned her head on his shoulder.
Xuanmo was infected by her cheerful mood, and his mood also became more cheerful, with the corners of his lips unable to be suppressed and turning up.
"Friendly reminder: Xuanmo's favorability has increased by 3 points, and his current total favorability is 57."
“I want to go to the Black Serpent Clan too.” Jin Tong walked over and took her hand, saying, “I’m worried about you going to such a dangerous place alone, especially the Black Serpent Clan.”
Upon hearing the system assistant's notification, Shu Ning realized that she hadn't actively tried to win them over in a long time.
She had originally intended to refuse him, but seeing the pleading look in his eyes, she hesitated and turned to look at Xuan Mo.
“You don’t need to worry about him,” Jin Tong said. “As long as you agree, that’s enough.”
She used the system assistant to check Jin Tong's favorability rating:
Jin Tong: 54 (Favorability).
“Yes, but Xuanmo needs to agree first,” Shu Ning said.
"I have no objection," Xuan Mo said, but the light in his eyes dimmed.
"Hmph, I don't need your permission." Jin Tong pouted at him, then rested his head on Shu Ning's shoulder, revealing his fox tail swaying behind him.
"Friendly reminder: Jin Tong's favorability has increased by 6 points, and her current total favorability is 60. Her current favorability status has increased to 'like'."
Shu Ning didn't expect that just by agreeing to take him to the Black Serpent Clan, his favorability rating would rise so quickly.
Then I saw his bright red fox tail swaying happily from side to side behind him.
He immediately withdrew his voice upon hearing Xiao Chong's voice.
"Ningning, have you forgotten what you promised me?" Xiao Chong asked as he walked up behind her.
Shu Ning looked up at him, then stood up.
“What…” she recalled, “is it about going on a long trip and asking you to come along?” she asked.
“Not bad, you still remember.” Xiao Chong patted her head.
“Xiao Chong, with Jin Tong and Xuan Mo here this time, you don’t need to worry about me,” Shu Ning said.
“That’s right, Xiao Chong, you just focus on protecting the wolf clan. Leave Ningning’s safety to us.” Yan also stood up.
“He’s only known her for a short time. It’s up to us ‘older husbands’ to take care of Ningning personally.” Mo Li also came over and put her arm around her waist.
"Changfu?" What kind of word is that?
This… she looked at the beastmen in front of her, one by one.
“Just refuse them,” Nightmare said. “I alone am enough to protect Ningning. With us Crimson Flame Tigers around, who would dare to hurt her?”
“If you go, you’ll scare those little black snakes to death.” Jin Tong rolled his eyes at him. “Ning Ning is going back with Xuan Mo to visit his mother, not to wipe out the Black Snake Clan.”
“It’s fine if we don’t bring them. I can protect Ningning on my own,” Yan said, then pulled Shu Ning over.
"Everyone knows what you're thinking!" Jin Tong glared at him as he took Shu Ning for himself.
“You…” Nightmare said.
"Hey, that's enough!" Shu Ning interrupted their argument and then broke free.
"Go, go, go." She had just promised Jin Tong, and she had also promised Xiao Chong before.
It's not good to agree to some things and refuse others.
"Great!" Jin Tong said happily. He usually loves going out to play, and this time there are so many people with him.
Meanwhile, Xuan Lin sat quietly eating his grilled meat.
Seeing Xuan Lin sitting alone to the side, Mu Yu couldn't help but feel resentful.
She then sat down next to Xuan Lin and asked, "Xuan Lin, she's ignoring you so much, don't you really plan to consider finding a different female?"
Xuan Lin ignored her and got up to leave.
"Hey, Xuan Lin!" Mu Yu chased after him as he left.
"Xuan Lin! Xuan Lin!" she called out.
Xuan Lin stopped. "You look disgusting." He then continued walking away.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yu felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart by his disdainful gaze, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
Watching his departing figure, a sinister glint appeared in her eyes.
"Nocturnal."
"Boss." Shi Ye appeared from the shadows beside him.
"Is everything ready?"
"Ready."
"Go."
"yes."
After Shi Ye left, Mu Yu turned around and saw Shu Ning standing alone in front of her.
The flames behind her made her look like a shadow, which startled her, but she quickly regained her composure and walked past her.
"Mu Yu," Shu Ning called out to her.
"What are you doing?" Mu Yu asked in an unfriendly tone.
I advise you to stop.
A flicker of panic crossed Mu Yu's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said in a calm tone, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Mu Yu felt guilty, thinking that Shu Ning had found out about her plan.
“Xuan Lin doesn’t like you, and he’s been married to me for over a year. You also have so many beast husbands, and they’re all quite strong,” Shu Ning said.
Why do something against your will for a male who doesn't love you?
"What do you know? My feelings for him are beyond your imagination." Hearing this, Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't understand your feelings for him. I only know that you have no feelings for yourself. You don't love yourself at all."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wouldn't love themselves?" Mu Yu didn't want to listen anymore and prepared to leave.
“If you loved yourself, you wouldn’t have chosen to be partners with a Black Bear Clan beastman that you don’t like,” Shu Ning said, turning to her.
Before heading to the Desolate Swamp, Anliang told the Crimson Flame Tiger, who was guarding outside the wolf clan, about her plan.
But she didn't tell anyone about it; instead, she planned to try to persuade her again.
She knew that Mu Yu didn't really want to hurt her.
"How did you know..." Mu Yu was stunned after hearing her words, "Did An Liang tell you?"
"Stop overthinking. I saw it all the day you got married to him. You weren't happy at all."
"So what? Who cares?" Mu Yu said, but a complicated feeling welled up inside her.
What does this little sacrifice matter as long as the goal can be achieved?
“I care,” Shu Ning said.
"Who cares about your concern! Don't flatter yourself." Mu Yu's eyes were unfocused, and she appeared indifferent, but the hard stone of family affection in her heart seemed to have been covered up.
What Mu Xia didn't even notice was noticed by the person she had always resented.
"You're still my sister, and I don't want you to go astray," Shu Ning said earnestly.
"Don't think that just because you were born a few days earlier than me you can be my older sister." Mu Yu's eyes flashed with anger when she heard her say the word "younger sister," but a strange feeling arose in her heart.
“Some things, once done, can’t be undone.” Shu Ning ignored her words and said with a hint in her tone, “You are also a mother’s daughter, and your status in the wolf clan is already quite high.”
"Don't let your obsessions cloud your judgment."
"It's not too late to back down now."
