Chapter 144 Ember Eyes
Before Xiao Chong and Xuan Lin could even react after Shu Ning finished speaking, Han She picked up Shu Ning.
"I'll take you back." He looked at the female in his arms, his voice low and his tone leaving no room for argument.
"No...no need." Shu Ning looked up at his cold and handsome face and said.
"Ningning, we haven't prepared a new cave yet, so let Han She stay with you for the night," Mu Xia said.
"Huh?" Shu Ning looked at Mu Xia in surprise. "Mother, how can this be?"
Shu Ning knew without guessing that her mother had intentionally put them together.
Even without new caves, the caves of Xuanmo, Yiyuan, and Yan would suffice...
Upon hearing this, Jin Tong couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately stood up and walked to Han She's side, saying, "You can stay in my cave."
Han She glanced at Jin Tong, the fox who exuded wildness, and looked at him with displeasure.
"No need," he said coldly, then picked up Shu Ning and prepared to leave.
"What do you mean you don't need it? Do you really want to sleep with Ningning?" Jin Tong blocked his way.
He doesn't even have a legitimate beast husband yet... how can he let someone like him, who has no official status, beat him to it?
At this moment, Mo Li also got up and walked in front of him. "I have no objection if you want to sleep in her cave. Just put her down."
A cold glint flashed in Han She's eyes. Instead of doing as she was told, she hugged him even tighter.
"You!" Seeing that he didn't move, Jin Tong's resentment towards him grew even stronger.
She wanted to punch him, but he was holding her, so she didn't bring herself to do it.
Seeing this, Xiao Chong and Xuan Lin also got up and came over.
Upon seeing their tense standoff, Shu Ning quickly patted Han She and said, "Put me down."
Han She looked down at Shu Ning in his arms, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly put her down.
"You can sleep in my cave tonight," Shu Ning said to him.
"And what about you?" He looked at her with his deep eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Ningning, how about sleeping with me tonight?" Jin Tong put his arm around Shu Ning's waist and moved closer to her.
Shu Ning looked up at Jin Tong's expectant eyes, his red vertical pupils exuding a captivating allure, and the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing his sharp and handsome canine teeth.
"Okay," she said unconsciously.
At this moment, Mo Li, who was behind her, gently placed her hands on her shoulders.
Shu Ning then came to her senses. She looked at Mo Li who was walking over and realized that she had been attracted to Jin Tong.
"Shameless." Mo Li glanced at Jin Tong with disdain.
"Who are you calling shameless?!" Jin Tong said angrily.
"Who used the fox clan's charm just now?" Mo Li picked up Shu Ning and looked at Jin Tong coldly.
“What does it have to do with you if I use it on my own female?” Jin Tong said.
“That’s my female too, how can it have nothing to do with me?” Mo Li said.
"Alright, stop arguing." Shu Ning interrupted their conversation.
Then he looked at Mo Li and said, "Put me down, Mo Li."
After getting off Mo Li, Shu Ning walked up to Han She and said, "Let me take you to my cave first."
"Mm," Han She replied.
Then Han She followed Shu Ning to her cave, and the others followed as well.
"This is my cave. There's not much inside, so you can make do with it for the night," she said as she opened the door.
Han She observed everything in her cave. The surroundings were clean and tidy, the furnishings were simple, and there were glowing snake scales on the rock walls.
He recognized it immediately as something Yi Yuan had done.
She glanced again at the males beside her; they were all very caring towards her, protecting her as if afraid she would be bullied in the slightest.
Thinking about this, he should be happy for her, but that's not what he really felt.
"Where are you sleeping tonight?" he asked.
“I…” She glanced at the beastmen beside her.
They all appeared indifferent, but their ears were perked up, listening intently.
"Jin Tong, I'll come to your place," she said.
Upon hearing this, a gleam instantly flashed in Jin Tong's eyes. "Great!" he exclaimed excitedly, his voice rising.
"Friendly reminder: Jin Tong's favorability has increased by 2 points, and her current total favorability is 77."
"Then you should get some rest tonight. We're leaving now," she said to Han She.
"Hmm." Watching Shu Ning and the others leave, Han She's eyes dimmed, and a strange pang of sorrow welled up in her heart.
Ember Eye Cave —
After carrying Shu Ning to the bed, Jin Tong left.
Shu Ning watched curiously as he earnestly searched for something, wagging her tail happily.
"Ningning!" Suddenly he took out a jar and handed it to Shu Ning.
"What's this?" Shu Ning asked curiously, taking the jar and examining it.
"Open it and take a look," he said expectantly.
Shu Ning opened the lid, and a fruity aroma suddenly wafted out.
"It's dried fruit!" Shu Ning exclaimed in surprise, then picked one up and tasted it.
"It's so sweet!" she said as she chewed.
Hearing Shu Ning's praise, Jin Tong's fox tail wagged even more vigorously, "I'm glad you like it."
“Mm,” Shu Ning replied.
Then Jin Tong ran to the bed, pulled back the covers, and patted the spot next to her, saying, "Ning Ning is asleep."
"Okay." Shu Ning got into bed.
At this moment, Jin Tong wrapped his arms around Shu Ning's waist from behind, abandoning his usual carefree attitude. A wild undertone appeared in the darkness of his eyes as he affectionately buried his face in the crook of her neck.
"Ningning..." His voice was deep, the lingering tone carrying a seductive longing, his breath deep in her ear.
He then turned her over, brought his face close to hers, and stared intently at her with his fiery red, alluring eyes, his fingertips lightly touching her cheek.
Finally, he moved his gaze to her chin, lightly touched her lips with his index finger, and a possessive glint appeared in his eyes.
"Jin..." Shu Ning was about to speak when Jin Tong placed his index finger on her lips.
"Shh..." he whispered, "Be good, don't make any other noises."
After speaking, he curled the corners of his mouth, his narrow eyes slightly upturned, and his eyes sparkled with a captivating brilliance.
Shu Ning never expected that the usually well-behaved little fox could be so alluring.
Just as she was lost in thought, Jin Tong suddenly leaned down and kissed her...
"Friendly reminder: Jin Tong's affection level has increased by 5 points, and her current total affection level is 82, which is a state of 'very much like'."
The next morning.
As soon as Shu Ning got up, she saw Mo Li sitting quietly on the edge of the bed.
She looked at him with a puzzled expression, then turned her head and found that Jin Tong was gone.
"Awake?" he asked.
"Hmm..." Shu Ning stretched and responded, then asked after a moment, "Mo Li, what are you doing here?"
"Ningning, have you forgotten? We agreed to make soup." At this moment, Jin Tong came in with a sharpened wooden stick and said.
"Oh, about that..." She thought of what she had said to the Black Serpent Clan the night before last and laughed awkwardly, "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, how could I forget?"
He then got up and dressed.
“Let’s go!” she said.
The three then walked side by side toward the river.
As they approached the riverbank, they saw Han She and Mu Yu walking together in the distance.
