Chapter 165 The Main Characters - Xiao Chong's Favorability
Upon hearing the news about 007, Shu Ning immediately became excited, clenched her fists, and habitually said, "Yes!"
She excitedly turned around to look at Mo Li, then turned back to look at Jin Tong, and excitedly cupped Jin Tong's face in her hands.
Jin Tong was completely bewildered by her actions.
"She seemed perfectly normal just now," he thought, realizing he hadn't given her anything poisonous.
Then, Jin Tong was suddenly hugged by her, which made him even more confused. He asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Ning Ning?"
"It's alright, Jintong," Shu Ning said with a smile.
She was happy not only because they left so quickly, but also because she figured the dream probably wasn't real.
Jin Tong pulled her into his arms, a smile playing on his lips: "So happy? Do you like us sleeping with you?"
"Mmm," Shu Ning replied.
But she didn't actually hear what he said; she was still immersed in the joy of their impending departure.
Jin Tong's eyes lit up, then he smiled and whispered in her ear, "How about we take turns keeping you company from now on?"
Jin Tong thought this method was not bad. Considering that she had so many beast husbands, one for one night, she wondered when it would be his turn.
"Huh?" Shu Ning came back to her senses and looked at his alluring eyes with a puzzled expression.
Upon hearing this, Mo Li frowned slightly, not entirely agreeing with Jin Tong's words.
He didn't want to have anything happen between him and Shu Ning while there was a male lying next to him.
"Go to sleep." Mo Li saw that Shu Ning was so excited and was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep later.
"Mmm," Shu Ning replied, then closed her eyes and fell asleep in Jin Tong's arms.
Unbeknownst to her, Xuan Lin and Xiao Chong were secretly watching outside the cave.
The next morning.
When Shu Ning woke up and saw that Jin Tong and the others had already left, the first thing she did was ask the system, "007, have they left?"
"It should be soon," 007 said.
"Mmm," Shu Ning replied happily.
007's words suggest he hasn't left yet, but he's probably close.
Just as she was feeling happy, she suddenly heard the system's voice again.
"Congratulations, host. You have completed the side quest to find the lost stray beast and unlocked Xiao Chong's favorability. Combined with the hidden quest of becoming partners with Xiao Chong, your favorability will not change if you use Xiao Chong in the future."
Hearing this, Shu Ning became even more excited, and she immediately checked the favorability rating:
Xuan Lin: 66 (likes)
Xuanmo: 93 (I really like it).
Yiyuan: 60 (likes)
Mo Li: 97 (I really like it).
Jin Tong: 84 (I really like it).
Xiao Chong: 100 (love)
Werewolf Orc: 25.32
Jiaolong Beastman: 16.24
Fox Clan Orc: 12.19
Crimson Tiger Orc: 50.28
Wilderness Swamp Orcs: 100.39
Black Serpent Orc: 9.46
Orcs of the Abandoned Beast Realm: 1.46
Other orc races: None.
Upon seeing Xiao Chong's favorability rating, she excitedly sat up.
What's curious is that Xuanmo and Yiyuan's own levels have also increased.
Could it be... that he misses her?
In her excitement, she suddenly frowned, subconsciously sensing that something bad was about to happen.
Why reveal Xiao Chong's favorability rating at this critical juncture?
Moreover, the beastmen who slept in her cave last night have all disappeared.
Thinking of this, she quickly got up and ran out to find them.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw several beastmen preparing ingredients at the entrance of her cave, just about to start a fire.
The birds chirped in the trees in the early morning, the sunlight shone gently, and the morning breeze occasionally brushed against my cheeks.
Xuan Lin and Xiao Chong were gathering firewood, Jin Tong was cutting meat, and Mo Li was drilling wood.
Everything looked comfortable and harmonious.
"Thank goodness... they're all here." She patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered.
"What do you mean 'alright'? Is everything still there?" Jin Tong asked after hearing Shu Ning's voice.
"Of course it's good that you're all here," Shu Ning said as she walked out.
"Silly Ning, where can we go if we're not here?" Mo Li said with a smile, adding more firewood to the burning fire.
Shu Ning noticed that he was sweating from drilling wood, so she took a piece of animal cloth and went over to wipe him down.
"Mo Li, let me see if you're feeling better." Shu Ning squatted down and lifted his clothes to check.
"It's all healed now." Mo Li sat up straight so that Shu Ning could check his wound.
"I have a Mystic Crystal on me, have you forgotten?" he said with a smile.
"Oh right, I didn't expect that the Mystic Crystal Stone could still be used after you transformed into a dragon," Shu Ning exclaimed.
Remembering something, she asked, "Mo Li, are you planning to tell your family about this?"
"Hmm..." Mo Li pondered for a moment, "Yes, they will, but they haven't fully matured yet. I'll go back and tell them in a while."
“That’s right, we should give them a good show then.” Shu Ning gestured with her arms outstretched.
“Okay, let’s do as Ningning says and show them.” Mo Li smiled slightly.
"Don't forget to take me with you then, I've never been to your Jiao Clan before," Jin Tong said while cooking soup.
“Alright, let’s go back together. I’ll treat you to the Jiao Clan’s specialties then,” Mo Li said, glancing at Jin Tong.
Upon hearing that she could eat seafood again, Shu Ning couldn't help but look forward to it. Just then, she smelled the meat soup that Jin Tong had cooked, and her stomach started rumbling.
"Ningning, come and eat this." Xiao Chong, who was grilling meat nearby, said to Shu Ning.
Hearing Xiao Chong call her name, Shu Ning ran over and took the meat he had grilled.
Thinking of Xiao Chong's affection for her, and Xiao Chong's past with the original owner, she ate while looking at Xiao Chong.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Xiao Chong asked with a gentle smile.
Shu Ning shook her head. "Brother Xiao Chong, when did you start liking me?"
Xiao Chong paused for a moment after hearing Shu Ning's words, the meat he was skewering in his hand.
After careful consideration, he said, "Hmm... I think you've become braver since the first time I saw you go to mine the mystic crystal. You're not like you used to be."
Upon hearing Xiao Chong's words, Shu Ning's lingering worry finally dissipated. Touched by his words, she looked at him earnestly and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao Chong. You like me."
Xiao Chong patted her head, his eyes filled with tenderness, and said softly with a smile, "Of course I like you."
“Ningning, I like you too.” At this moment, Jin Tong brought over a bowl of meat soup. “Here, try your chef’s cooking.”
Shu Ning looked at Jin Tong with a slightly surprised expression. She hadn't expected that he would remember what she had just said casually.
"Okay, then I'll have a good taste of our chef's cooking." Shu Ning said as she took the soup he brought over.
"Mmm~ Delicious! Besides lean meat, there are mushrooms, and... wild onions, Sichuan peppercorns, and bird eggs!" Shu Ning exclaimed as she ate, "Wow, amazing! You found so many ingredients so early in the morning!"
"That's right. We divided the tasks in the morning: Xuan Lin went to find mushrooms, Xiao Chong went back to get salt and peppercorns, Mo Li went to find wild onions, I dug out the bird eggs, and Han She went hunting."
Upon hearing Shu Ning praise him, Jin Tong enthusiastically began to tell her how they had collaborated.
"Not bad, not bad at all. You truly deserve to be my student," Shu Ning praised.
Suddenly, she felt like someone was missing. She glanced around and her eyes widened in surprise: "Jintong, where's Han She?"
"He said he was going to take a bath in the river right after he put down the meat," Jin Tong said. "Ning Ning, don't worry about him, let's continue drinking."
