Chapter 125 First Entry into the Black Serpent Clan
After Shu Ning finished speaking, she was about to leave, but then she turned back, thinking of something, "Also, you don't like Xuan Lin at all."
Mu Yu, who had just been stunned, came back to life after hearing these words. "So self-righteous!"
"I'm not being presumptuous. What you think is liking someone is just that you think Xuan Lin is like you, someone who isn't noticed by others."
"It's just empathy, but you're treating it as a salvation for the soul."
"You're obsessed with this feeling, thinking that this is what liking someone is, this is what love is."
"But you forget that you keep marrying new beast husbands, but you never think about what his situation will be like after you actually get him."
"He's a top male wolf, envied by countless orcs. How can he continue to stay in the wolf clan after switching to a female?"
"You!" Mu Yu hadn't really thought about these things; she had always only cared about her own feelings.
She would be happy if she got Xuan Lin, but she hadn't thought about what he would do.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Don't you have a friend with you?"
Mu Yu, who was in a fit of anger, suddenly became puzzled.
“Call me loneliness,” she whispered in her ear.
After saying that, he left.
At this moment, Mu Yu was shocked by Shu Ning's words, and the withered grass in her heart felt as if it had been kicked and then watered.
It made her feel very strange.
Wolf Forest —
After Shu Ning left, she met up with Xuan Lin and the others. "We still need to keep a close eye on things," she said.
“Mm,” Xuan Lin replied.
"You acted well, Xuan Lin," Shu Ning said, patting his arm in praise.
"You're not bad either," he said calmly and in a low voice, his silver eyes flashing slightly.
"What about me? What about me?" Jin Tong said, his golden-red eyes gleaming as he awaited Shu Ning's confirmation.
"Jin Tong's acting was also superb!" she said, giving him a thumbs up.
"Hehe." Jin Tong was so happy to be praised that the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing her sharp teeth.
"Friendly reminder: Jin Tong's favorability has increased by 1 point, and her current total favorability is 61."
"Friendly reminder: Xuanmo's favorability has decreased by 1 point, and his current total favorability is 56."
Hearing this, Shu Ning became alert. Several beastmen surrounded her, while Xuan Mo stayed alone at the very edge.
“I’m sorry, Xuanmo…” Shu Ning walked in front of him, “I didn’t tell you about this beforehand.”
“There’s no need to tell him. If he finds out that Mu Yu wants to harm them, he’ll definitely tell his father, and then Ning Ning’s efforts will be in vain,” Yan said.
"Friendly reminder: Xuanmo's favorability has decreased by 1 point, and his current total favorability is 55."
"That's not how it is, Xuanmo, don't listen to his nonsense." Shu Ning took his hand and led him aside.
We can't let him misunderstand any further.
“I believe you. I just forgot to tell you at the time because I was thinking about how to help the Black Serpent Clan,” Shu Ning said earnestly, looking at him.
Xuanmo looked at him, waiting for her to continue.
"I want to help you solve your problem. Those black worms are really harmful. Don't worry, Xuanmo, I will definitely help you find a way to expel the black worms from their bodies."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Xuanmo's eyes, but then his gaze darkened again as he thought of something, and he said, "It's useless."
"They volunteered."
“Xuanmo, trust me, I have a way. All you have to do is help me gather the black snake beastmen who are parasitized by those black insects,” Shu Ning said.
Upon hearing this, Xuanmo pondered for a moment before replying, "That's no problem."
"Okay, that's good." Shu Ning said.
Xuanmo looked at Shu Ning in front of him, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes as he thought about his misunderstanding of her earlier.
"Friendly reminder: Xuanmo's favorability has increased by 3 points, and the current total favorability is 59."
Hearing this, Shu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, Shu Ning and Xuan Mo went to find An Sha and explained to him that they were going to the Black Serpent Clan.
Mu Yu was still standing there, stunned. Shu Ning's words had made her reflect.
She carefully examined her own behavior.
She believes that her behavior has always been upright and honest.
She never hid anything, not even her desire to compete with Shu Ning for the Holy Mother's inheritance and her feelings for Xuan Lin.
Because in her heart, the Holy Maiden's mission is to lead the wolf clan to a better future; she is a sacred symbol.
Thinking about this, she began to doubt herself.
Her recent behavior has indeed been absurd, even taking such a huge risk for a male.
This is not her style.
"Tell Shi Ye to halt the operation," she instructed her subordinates upon returning.
"Yes," the orc replied and then left.
As she watched Mu Sheng's departing figure, Shu Ning's words about kinship suddenly came to mind...
The next morning—
At the entrance to the wolf clan, besides Shu Ning, Xuan Mo, and An Sha, there were also Xiao Chong, Jin Tong, Yan, and Mo Li.
An Sha didn't expect to be able to bring Xuan Mo and Shu Ning back so quickly, and... her beast husbands too.
He looked at Xuanmo and frowned, then said, "Ningning, when we get to the Black Serpent Clan, I'll have Xuanmo's mother cook you something delicious. I guarantee you'll love it."
"Yes, I'll have a good taste of Mother's cooking then, it's sure to be delicious," Shu Ning replied.
Hearing this, Xuanmo frowned. He remembered that he had never seen her eat raw meat since the Black Bear Clan attacked her.
An Sha frowned when he saw Shu Ning being led by her scarred beast husband.
"Ningning, let Xuanmo take you. Our Black Serpent Clan has a lot of water, and Xuanmo can swim, so he can protect you."
"It's alright, Xiao Chong can protect me too." She looked at Xuan Mo, then looked up at Xiao Chong.
"Ningning, go with Xuanmo," Xiao Chong said.
“That’s fine.” Then she walked toward Xuanmo. “Xuanmo, I’ll have to trouble you this time.”
"Hahaha, oh dear, Ningning, what's the trouble? This is what Xuanmo should do," Ansha laughed.
Afterwards, the group headed towards the Black Serpent Clan.
Along the way, they left the wolf forest and crossed several rivers and mountains before finally entering a swamp.
This place is generally dark and gloomy, with thick, straight trees growing on the bottomless black water, with black snakeskins hanging from the trees and vines intertwined with them, and the surrounding area is shrouded in mist.
Although it was daytime, the distant scenery was barely visible.
There is a path made of wood in the swamp.
For the Black Serpent Clan, this road is not necessary; it is only used for transporting items that cannot get wet and for visiting guests.
Shu Ning and the others walked on the wooden bridge.
She looked at everything before her, occasionally catching glimpses of the black snake's body emerging from the water before disappearing again.
Although she had been to the Desolate Wasteland before, she felt this place was even more eerie and terrifying, and the only sound around her was the sound of their footsteps on the wooden planks.
And the splashing sound of the black snakes swimming through the water.
She couldn't help but shiver and stopped looking down. As soon as she looked up, she saw a huge black snake coiled around the tree, its head close to hers.
His golden vertical pupils were fixed on her, occasionally flicking out his forked tongue.
"Ah!" Shu Ning was startled by his sudden approach and exclaimed softly, then tightly grabbed Xuan Mo's arm.
"What's wrong?" Upon hearing Shu Ning's cry, Xiao Chong and the others immediately went forward.
This area was originally the territory of the snake-beastmen, and the scent of black snakes was everywhere, making it impossible for them to distinguish the distance between other black snakes.
As the fog thickened, visibility eventually dropped to within a meter of oneself.
"Don't be afraid," Xuanmo said softly, noticing that the female beside him was frightened.
