Chapter 159 The Main Characters—Xiao Chong's Background
“That’s the truth, and you won’t let people say it?” Xiao Chong replied.
"I think you're asking for a beating, aren't you?" Ming Yu said, tugging at Xiao Chong's wolf ear.
"Why are you attacking now?" Xiao Chong retorted, grabbing his dragon horns.
The group stared dumbfounded at Xiao Chong and Ming Yu's behavior. One was a dragon, the other a wolf. When did they become so close?
At this moment, Xuan Lin handed the grilled meat to Shu Ning.
"Thank you," Shu Ning said to him.
Upon hearing Shu Ning say thank you, Xuan Lin frowned slightly, paused in his retraction of his hands, and then reached out again to pull her directly from Mo Li's arms.
He leaned closer to her, his silver eyes looking at her. "Try saying thank you next time? Hmm?"
She was speechless for a moment, and said thank you, what's wrong?
Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly heard the system assistant announce it automatically.
"Friendly reminder: Xuan Lin's favorability has increased by 3 points, and his current total favorability is 63."
Shu Ning thought to herself, "Isn't this something I quite like to hear?"
She wanted to say again, "Let's see if it goes up again," and then said, "Thank...thank you."
"Really..." Xuan Lin said, and he kissed her directly, even though they were already very close.
"Friendly reminder: Xuan Lin's favorability has increased by 3 points, and his current total favorability is 66."
"Oh dear, look at him, Xiao Chong. You should learn more from Xuan Lin," Ming Yu said to Xiao Chong beside him.
Seeing Xuan Lin kissing Shu Ning, Xiao Chong's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I don't need to compete with them."
"You kid, tsk, you're really confident." Ming Yu patted his shoulder, feeling satisfied with his confidence.
At this moment, Jin Tong, who was observing them from the side, asked curiously, "Domain Lord, why are you only so nice to Xiao Chong?"
“This…” Ming Yu hesitated, “because he is my eldest son.”
"Look, even the little fox can see how good your father is to you, yet you still don't know how to be grateful." Ming Yu said with a deliberately serious expression, "Come on, quickly grill some meat for your father."
Hearing this, Jin Tong became even more confused. He didn't believe that he was Xiao Chong's father. How was his personality any different from Xiao Chong's?
"You're such a grown man, can't you even grill yourself?" Xiao Chong said, but handed him the grilled meat.
"Hehe, Domain Lord, you must be joking." Jin Tong still didn't believe it.
Although his mother, Ling Shuang, also looks young, at least she looks more mature.
Turning his head, he saw Xuan Lin still kissing Shu Ning and frowned, saying, "Xuan Lin, that's enough. Our Ning Ning hasn't eaten anything yet."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Lin released Shu Ning and then hugged her, letting her continue eating the barbecue.
Seeing her face flushed from his kisses, Xuan Lin hugged her even tighter with satisfaction.
Han She, standing nearby, noticed their intimate behavior, and a shadow crossed his eyes.
Xuan Lin held her tightly, which deepened the darkness in his eyes.
Shu Ning had just finished eating the grilled meat in her hand when she saw Han She hand her the meat he had grilled.
She paused for a moment, then reached out and took the meat skewer he offered. Looking at him, she subconsciously said, "Thank you."
Upon hearing this, Han She's eyes flickered slightly, then he lowered his head and continued grilling the meat.
After a while, Xiao Chong knelt down next to Shu Ning and looked at her gently, "Ning Ning, who are you planning to sleep with tonight?"
As soon as Xiao Chong finished speaking, the other beastmen immediately pricked up their ears to listen attentively.
At this moment, Ming Yu was also listening quietly.
Shu Ning glanced at the beastmen around her, who were all silently going about their business.
Han She, Xuan Lin, Mo Li, and even Jin Tong, who usually clamors to sleep with her, all showed no expression on their faces.
They all knew that Shu Ning would choose Xiao Chong the moment he opened his mouth.
Finally, her gaze fell back on Xiao Chong. "Brother Xiao Chong, I want to be with you."
Hearing Shu Ning's answer, Xiao Chong smiled with satisfaction and reached out to pick her up.
At this moment, Xuan Lin, who was holding Shu Ning, showed no intention of letting go.
The three of them remained in this stalemate for a while, until finally Xuan Lin let go.
Xiao Chong picked Shu Ning up and supported her bottom with his arm, letting her lean against him on her side. Shu Ning's hands naturally rested on his shoulders.
Xiao Chong then led her into his cave.
On the way, Shu Ning looked curiously at the man's profile and said, "Brother Xiao Chong, you..."
Xiao Chong's gaze suddenly softened as he looked at the female in his arms, his voice low and deep, "What's wrong?"
Shu Ning shook her head, then leaned directly on his shoulder, feeling the warmth of his chest and the vibrant beating of his heart.
Xiao Chong glanced at the female in his arms, a smile playing on his lips, and then quickened his pace with steady steps.
Shu Ning looked at the cave that Xiao Chong had led her to; the furnishings inside looked simple but very tidy.
This made her wonder, "Brother Xiao Chong, the cave they arranged for you is much bigger than the one we had last night."
"Really?" Xiao Chong chuckled, placed her on the bed, and then pulled her into his arms. "Ningning, do you want to know my secret?"
"Mmm!" Shu Ning nodded.
After adjusting his posture slightly, Xiao Chong told her, "Actually, I'm not an orphan."
Shu Ning looked up at him, waiting for him to continue speaking.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chong gently and slowly said, "My mother is a female wolf, and she is a friend of your mother, the Holy Mother. She entrusted me to the Holy Mother shortly after giving birth to me."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning recalled how the original owner had always asked him to go on adventures with her since childhood.
It turns out they were childhood sweethearts, no wonder Xiao Chong likes her so much... Thinking of this, a strange pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
She didn't have many vivid memories of the original owner's childhood, and she didn't even remember many things they did together when they were young.
"And then?" she continued to ask.
"After she handed me over to your mother, she went to rescue my father on her own, brought him to this abandoned beast realm, and made him a beast bone mask to hide the dragon aura on his body."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning was suddenly startled. She looked up at Xiao Chong and asked, "So... Ming Yu is your father?"
Seeing her surprised expression, Xiao Chong smiled and replied, "Yes."
"Then... how come he looks so young?" Shu Ning asked curiously.
“He could live a long time; his current age is equivalent to our current age.” Xiao Chong paused to think before denying it, “Perhaps… even younger than us.”
"Huh?" Shu Ning's jaw dropped in shock.
She had considered that Xiao Chong might be working for Ming Yu, and she had also considered that the wolf clan was cooperating with the Abandoned Beast Domain, but she never thought that he would be Ming Yu's son.
No wonder Shu Yanzhao said that when Xuanmo's father, Ansha, asked her to go to the Black Serpent Clan.
"So, for him, it's only been a few months from over ten years ago to now?" Shu Ning asked.
"More or less," Xiao Chong replied.
