Chapter 140 Have you forgotten?
"Roar—"
Upon spotting Shu Ning and her companions, a Crimson Tiger Beastman standing atop the tallest tree nearby immediately let out a roar to summon other Crimson Tiger Beastmen in the vicinity.
The snake-beastmen, who had been quite cheerful, immediately became alert upon hearing the tiger's roar and feeling the ground tremble.
Some of them moved closer to Shu Ning, shielding them behind them and watching the front with alert expressions.
Some of them took out bone knives and walked forward, staring intently ahead.
"It's the Tiger Clan again!" shouted the snake-beastman in the tree.
Upon hearing this news, the snake-beastmen became even more vigilant.
"Run faster!" the leading Crimson Tiger Beastman shouted as he saw the snake beastmen approaching Shu Ning.
They had tried to stop them once that morning, but to their surprise, they quickly cooperated and retreated, then disappeared.
Seeing that they had no intention of continuing to enter the wolf pack, they stopped paying attention to them.
I never expected that he would hide.
The snake beastmen learned from Anliang that Shu Ning was not in the wolf clan, so they decided to wait outside the wolf clan for Shu Ning and the others to return.
Han She was not too shocked to know that the leader of the Crimson Flame Tigers was Shu Ning's beast husband, and he did not want to have a direct conflict with them in the morning.
When Jin Tong and the others saw the snake-beastmen approaching them, they were already prepared to fight. Unexpectedly, the snake-beastmen turned around and assumed a defensive posture with their backs to them the next second.
And this posture seems to be... protecting them?
Shu Ning, who had originally wanted to observe the situation further, realized that if she remained silent any longer, they would really start fighting.
"We're on the same side! We're on the same side!" Shu Ning raised her voice and waved to the Crimson Flame Tiger beastmen.
Upon hearing this, the Crimson Flame Tiger beastmen were stunned and immediately stopped in their tracks.
"Your Majesty, are you really alright?" the Crimson Tiger leading the way shouted.
"It's alright—" Shu Ning called out.
The Crimson Tiger Beastman was still uneasy and shouted, "Are you sure you weren't kidnapped by them?"
"No, don't worry," Shu Ning replied.
Even if Han She and the others really cooperate with Mu Yu, she can still use teleportation to move the three of them away.
If the two orc races were to actually fight, there would inevitably be casualties.
She had to live up to their title of "Queen".
After confirming that Shu Ning had not been kidnapped, the Crimson Flame Tiger Beastman stopped drawing his sword against the Snake Beastmen in front of him.
But they remained vigilant, constantly watching their movements.
"You guys go back first," Shu Ning called out.
“But…” the leading Crimson Tiger Beastman hesitated.
At this moment, Shu Ning got off Xiao Chong.
Jin Tong was puzzled after hearing what Shu Ning said, but he still did not relax.
Seeing that they refused to back down, Shu Ning decided to walk forward.
Noticing that Shu Ning was about to pass through the snake beastmen, Mo Li grabbed her hand.
"It's alright." Shu Ning said, giving Mo Li a reassuring look when she saw his tense expression.
Then she walked through the tall snake-like beastmen in front of her, who cooperated by making way for her, and walked to the front next to Han She.
The moment Han She caught sight of her, a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.
Seeing Shu Ning continue walking forward, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he abruptly reached out and grabbed her hand.
When the Crimson Tiger Beastman saw that Shu Ning was being held back, he tried to step forward, but the next second he saw Shu Ning raise her other hand to signal them to stop.
She looked up at Han She, and saw a hint of warmth flash in his cold gaze when he noticed her looking at him.
"It's alright," Shu Ning said, seeing the worry in his eyes. "They are Yan's men. I'll go over and say a few words to them."
After a moment of silence, Han She finally let go of her hand.
When the leader of the Crimson Tiger Beastmen saw Shu Ning approaching, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
"Queen, are you alright?" the leading Crimson Tiger Beastman asked.
The other orcs also gathered around to greet them.
"It's alright," Shu Ning said, then she leaned closer to the leading orc and whispered, "Yan is helping Xuan Mo with some matters in the Black Serpent Clan, and he might not be back for a while. Please take care of yourselves these days."
She felt it was best not to let too many people know the whereabouts of a tribal chief.
Upon hearing this, the orc nodded solemnly. "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will be careful. Your Majesty, please also take care of your safety."
"Okay," Shu Ning replied, "You guys can go now."
“Queen, we will escort you into the wolf pack before you leave,” the lead orc said.
"No need, Han She is my friend, he won't do anything to me," Shu Ning said.
“This…” The leading orc glanced at Han She’s cold eyes, frowned, and then said, “Alright, we’re not far away. Just call out if you need anything, and we’ll come right away.”
“Mm,” Shu Ning replied.
After watching them disperse, she went back.
At this moment, Han She walked up to her and, upon seeing Shu Ning, slightly clenched the sleeve in his hand.
The other beastmen also walked up to Shu Ning.
"Ningning, what's going on? Do you know him?" Jin Tong blocked Shu Ning behind him and asked, staring at Han She in front of him.
Shu Ning glanced at Han She and said to Jin Tong, "He is Han She, the leader of the Serpent Tribe."
"Is it the one that fought with the Yiyuan tribe?" Jintong asked again.
“Mm,” Shu Ning replied, looking at Han She.
Upon hearing this, the three people immediately stared at him warily.
When Han She heard that Shu Ning hadn't explained their relationship, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
"What do you mean, the one who fought Yi Yuan? Our leader is Shu Ning's beast husband." At this moment, a beastman standing nearby stepped forward and said angrily, "Besides, we're not fighting them anymore."
Upon hearing this, the three beastmen reacted in different ways.
Jin Tong looked at Shu Ning in disbelief, recalling the day he frantically searched for her after her disappearance, while she was outside with other males...
But the next second he changed his mind, thinking that Shu Ning must have been bewitched by some kind of sorcery.
How dare he do such a thing to his Ningning!
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and stared intently at Han She, veins bulging on his forehead, and pulled Shu Ning next to him further behind him.
Mo Li, however, did not believe it, thinking they were shameless that a leader would allow his subordinates to say such things in public.
Xiao Chong, on the contrary, thought that it was Han She who was attracted by Ning Ning's charm.
Shu Ning was about to retort when she heard the snake-like beastman's words, but then she noticed the reaction of the three beastmen beside her, especially Jin Tong, who looked like he was about to throw a punch at her.
She quickly patted his shoulder, "Jin Tong, Jin Tong, don't misunderstand, there's nothing between us."
As soon as Shu Ning finished speaking, the flame in Jin Tong's eyes instantly died down. He turned to look at Shu Ning with a trusting gaze: "I believe you, Ning Ning."
When Han She heard Shu Ning refuse to acknowledge their relationship, the expectant light in his eyes vanished instantly, his gaze dimmed, and a chill flashed across his eyes.
“It’s related, it’s related!” The orcs next to Shu Ning hurriedly said to their leader after hearing Shu Ning’s denial, “Chief’s wife, have you forgotten? You promised our leader that you would be his female.”
