Chapter 142 Missing her?
Mo Li and Jin Tong, who were standing to the side, flashed a hint of displeasure in their eyes when they saw this scene. They had not expected Han She to come so aggressively.
“Holy Lady, you may proceed now,” a servant said as he approached.
"Alright, it's getting late now. I've prepared a bonfire party for everyone. Come on over," Mu Xia said happily.
"Mother, you..." Shu Ning didn't expect that Mu Xia had prepared a bonfire party in advance.
Could it be that she already knew about it while they were outside, and thus started preparing well in advance?
"Ningning, make sure to treat Han She well later. It's his first time visiting our wolf clan, so you can't neglect him," Mu Xia said as she walked over to Shu Ning.
"I understand, Mother." Shu Ning said, and then saw Mo Li leave.
"Ningning, sit next to me later, I'll grill some meat for you," Jin Tong said.
“Okay,” Shu Ning replied.
A moment later, the group arrived at the campfire below the sacrificial altar, where a circle of animal meat and fruit was laid out beside the fire.
The other campfires were filled with other orcs from the wolf tribe, who were happily eating roasted meat and chatting.
They quieted down considerably upon seeing Han She and his snake-beastmen.
Then they started talking quietly again.
The news that Shu Ning had brought the leader of the snake tribe back to the wolf clan quickly spread throughout the wolf clan.
Many speculated that this was her next beastly husband, and some had already assumed he was.
A look of surprise flashed in Han She's eyes the moment she saw the fire.
He had already heard from An Liang about Shu Ning teaching the wolf clan how to make fire and roast meat, but he was still shocked when he saw the scene for the first time.
Mu Xia patted Shu Ning on the shoulder and gave her a look, then said a few words to Han She before sitting down next to Shu Yanzhao.
Shu Ning and the others arrived at the campfire and prepared to sit down when Mo Li returned.
The seating arrangement this time is as follows:
Mo Li, Jin Tong, Shu Ning, Xiao Chong, Han She, Xuan Lin.
Having traveled all day to return from the Black Serpent Clan, Shu Ning was so tired that she immediately took Xiao Chong's arm and rested her head on his shoulder as soon as she sat down.
Feeling Shu Ning leaning on him, Xiao Chong patted her head and then began cutting the meat in front of him.
“Ning, Xiao Chong carried you all day today, he must be tired too. Lean on me, I’m not tired,” Jin Tong said.
Shu Ning thought Jin Tong's words made sense. She looked up at Xiao Chong, whose face was expressionless as he focused on grilling the meat.
Feeling the female gaze directed at him, a tenderness instantly welled up in Xiao Chong's eyes. "It's alright, you can lean on me," he said with a smile.
Shu Ning sat up and leaned against Jin Tong in a different direction.
"Jin Tong is so thoughtful," Shu Ning praised.
"That's right, don't you even know who your beast husband is!" Jin Tong said with a satisfied smile.
"Friendly reminder: Jin Tong's favorability has increased by 1 point, and her current total favorability is 73."
"Ningning." Mo Li handed the grilled meat to her.
"Thank you!" Shu Ning had just taken the meat from Mo Li when she saw Xuan Lin suddenly get up and walk over to her, staring at him the whole way.
He stopped beside her, and as she was wondering what was going on, he suddenly picked her up and carried her back to his spot.
Jin Tong looked displeased as he watched the female beside him being carried away by Xuan Lin.
"You!" he said angrily to Xuan Lin.
“You’re all tired today, I’ll take care of her.” Xuan Lin said in a low voice, looking at Shu Ning in his arms.
Shu Ning lay in Xuan Lin's arms, being held by him, and suddenly felt her heart racing.
At the same time, I also felt confused.
Xuan Lin is actually being so proactive today; his affection level for her is only in the forties.
Could it be that he misses her after not seeing her for two days?
"What are you thinking about?" Xuan Lin asked as she stared at him while grilling meat.
"N-nothing..." Shu Ning, leaning against his chest, looked into his cold, silver eyes and said, coming back to her senses.
He then got up and sat between him and Han She.
As soon as she sat down, Han She pulled her into his arms.
The moment Shu Ning looked up and saw Han She, she realized that he was also looking at her.
She suddenly shifted her gaze to the front.
Looking at Han She suddenly reminded her of Xuan Mo.
I wonder how things are between him and Yan, whether they've eaten, and if they've encountered any difficulties.
If only we had communication.
Suddenly I remembered there was a system.
"007, how are Xuanmo and the others doing now? No one wants to harm them, right?" Shu Ning asked.
“Xuanmo has just become the new leader of the Black Serpent Clan and is being worshipped by all the serpents,” 007 said.
"Let me see it quickly!" Shu Ning didn't expect 007 to reply to her so quickly, and she was excited when she thought of the scene with Xuan Mo.
Then, 007 showed her images of the Black Serpent Clan—
At this moment, Xuan Mo, dressed in black, sat upright on the beast bone chair in the center of the Black Serpent Clan's sacrificial altar, his expression stern and unapproachable.
The Nightmare stood tall and straight beside him, her eyes domineering and sharp.
Xuanmo's aura seemed much stronger than usual tonight, as he was receiving some kind of ritualistic movements from the high priest.
"Xuanmo!" she exclaimed in her heart, overjoyed for him.
At this moment, Xuanmo seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up in the direction of Shu Ning's gaze.
Shu Ning blushed instantly when their eyes met and she quickly looked away.
Seeing that Xuanmo was staring in one direction, Yan, who was standing next to him, followed his gaze.
But apart from the moon, there was nothing special about that place.
Han She, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly when he saw her staring blankly at the roasted meat in front of her.
I assumed she didn't like it but was too embarrassed to throw it away.
"If it doesn't taste good, just throw it away," he said.
Hearing Han She's voice, Shu Ning snapped out of her daze and looked at him.
Upon hearing this, Mo Li also quietly took notice.
"It's delicious, how could it not be delicious?" Shu Ning said, taking a bite of the grilled meat.
The moment the roasted meat touched her lips, she tasted the Sichuan peppercorns. She looked at the roasted meat, then looked in Mo Li's direction.
I didn't expect him to still remember this.
However, we don't know when he found the Sichuan peppercorns or when he brought them.
Sensing Shu Ning's gaze, Mo Li quickly shifted her attention and continued grilling the meat.
At this moment, Shu Ning suddenly remembered that Han She might never have seen meat roasted over a fire like this.
"Xuan Lin, can you hold this for me?" She handed the grilled meat in her hand to Xuan Lin, who was standing next to her.
He then cut the raw meat placed in front of him with a knife, skewered it, and handed it to Han She.
Then he took the grilled meat back from Xuan Lin and ate it.
Han She took it with a puzzled look and stared at her.
"Just roast this in the fire and you can eat it," she said as she ate.
Seeing that he didn't move, she took the meat skewers and put them into the fire again.
Before the meat skewers even touched the fire, Han She grabbed his wrist.
She turned to look at Han She and saw his handsome brows furrowed.
"Don't worry, it's alright," she said.
At this moment, Xiao Chong, who was sitting next to Han She, took the raw meat skewers from Shu Ning's hand and put them into the fire to grill.
“I’ll teach you,” he said to Han She.
"Hmm," Han She replied in a low voice, then released Shu Ning's hand.
