Chapter 17 No Going Back
"Mother, no..." Shu Ning tried to politely decline.
"Ningning, go back and prepare well. Your mother will send someone to pick you up tomorrow. Your mother is going to find the high priest now to prepare for the wedding." Mu Xia patted Shu Ning's back and said happily.
Without giving Shu Ning a chance to back out, he left after saying that.
"Mother..." Shu Ning tried to call out to Mu Xia, but she had already disappeared.
Shu Ning turned to look at Xiao Chong in front of her, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.
His expression was blank, making it impossible for Shu Ning to guess what he was thinking.
"Xiao Chong, I was just saying that out of anger, don't take it seriously," Shu Ning said awkwardly to him.
“Words spoken in anger are still words, don’t try to take them back,” Xiao Chong said.
After saying that, he walked over to Shu Ning, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Don't forget about tomorrow."
He then curled his lips into a wicked smile, finished speaking, and left.
Xuan Lin, who was standing to the side, also left without glancing at her.
Shu Ning remained rooted to the spot, stunned.
What is all this about?!
She hasn't even managed to get one beastly husband yet, and another one is already coming along?
She acknowledged that he was outstanding in both appearance and ability.
His personality...emmm...is her type.
Most importantly, he was actually willing to become partners with such an ugly and fat woman.
With that in mind, Shu Ning had no reason to refuse him.
This was also the first time she had married someone in her own "identity" since she came into this world.
If this were in modern society, she would definitely never have had the chance to be with such a perfect man.
In modern society, she believes in love, but she doesn't believe that love will come to her.
So, in this world, will she find love? Or is this all just his conspiracy?
Shu Ning had no idea.
On the way back, Shu Ning was still not recovered.
What...what did she do?!
Or should we go back and say she suddenly changed her mind?
No, that would make her look like someone who goes back on their word.
How will she maintain her position in the wolf clan after this? Most importantly, how will she continue to seduce other beastmen?
“007, 007…” Shu Ning called out.
"What is it you wish to report?"
The system responded quite quickly this time.
"What do you think about Xiao Chong's situation? Will it affect your ability to win over other beastmen later on?"
"Winning over the five beastmen depends on your own abilities, and has nothing to do with anything else."
"But, aren't we supposed to seduce five beastmen? Does that mean we have to seduce Xiao Chong too? If the system releases missions that require seduce beastmen in the future, will completing the missions on him also count?"
"No, Xiao Chong doesn't need a strategy guide."
"However, becoming partners with Xiao Chong is a hidden side quest, and I didn't expect you to complete it so quickly."
Upon hearing the news, Shu Ning jumped up excitedly.
Just as she was about to teleport back, she suddenly heard a sharp sound—
"Shu Ning, you stop right there!"
Shu Ning frowned upon hearing this.
Looking back, she saw a young female orc with a youthful appearance walking angrily toward her.
"Who are you?" Shu Ning didn't quite remember this person.
"Don't play dumb with me. Didn't you just marry two beastly husbands? Why are you marrying another one?!"
Fang Ling was so angry that she wanted to jump up and hit Shu Ning, her face showing a fierce expression.
Seeing that the expression on her face was exactly the same as that of the two orcs on the sacrificial altar a few days ago, Shu Ning suddenly remembered.
"You're Fang Yu and Fang Shi's younger sister, and your name is... Fang Ling?"
"What's it to you? That's not the point!" A look of panic flashed across Fang Ling's face, and she immediately raised her voice to shout.
"The important thing is, I won't allow you to marry Brother Xiao Chong!"
"What business is it of yours if I marry him?" Shu Ning deliberately raised her voice to annoy her.
She realized that the girl liked Xiao Chong.
But why was she flustered when she said she was Fang Yu and Fang Shi's sister?
Could it be that Xuanmo was framed by her, and she was the one secretly plotting against him?
"Of course it's my business! I've liked him for so long, he should be mine!" Fang Ling stared straight at Shu Ning, looking completely matter-of-fact.
"You've liked him for so long, so why didn't you marry him before? Could it be... he never agreed?"
Shu Ning deliberately chuckled, intending to provoke her.
"How dare you laugh at me? You ugly freak, you don't deserve it!" Fang Ling was furious and wanted to raise her hand to hit her.
Using her height advantage, Shu Ning easily grabbed the hand that was about to strike her and squeezed it tightly.
She's got plenty of strength; all that fat on her body isn't for nothing.
"It hurts...it hurts...let me go!" Fang Ling cried out in pain, her features contorted in pain.
She then tried to raise her other hand to strike, but Shu Ning grabbed both of her hands.
"Now you know what pain is! I'm asking you, were you the one who orchestrated Xuanmo's wrongful conviction?" Shu Ning questioned loudly and forcefully, radiating a dangerous aura.
Fang Ling, whose secret had been exposed, dared not reply and could only cry out in pain.
"You're not going to talk, huh? Then you can forget about having these two hands!"
After Shu Ning finished speaking, she pressed her hands down in the opposite direction.
Pressed down by Shu Ning, Fang Ling was in so much pain, fearing her hands might break, that she immediately blurted out, "I'll talk, I'll talk..."
"explain."
Shu Ning loosened her grip slightly, but still held her hand tightly.
"That's right! It was me, I was the one who told my brothers to file a complaint against Xuan Mo!"
"Why did you do this?!" Shu Ning asked.
"It's all because of you! You're so ugly, and you have such a bad temper. You even had to make someone as capable as Brother Xiao Chong do those dirty things like binding beastmen for you. And in the end, you almost died at the hands of the Black Serpent Clan!"
"How come you didn't die there? Why are you still alive! Why are you the daughter of the Holy Mother? Does being the daughter of the Holy Mother give you the right to do whatever you want!?"
Fang Ling finished speaking in a trembling voice, her whole body shaking, tears welling up in her eyes.
Shu Ning originally wanted to take her to see Mu Xia, but seeing her crying so miserably, she couldn't bear it.
She did indeed do a lot of inhuman things in the past.
“I was wrong before, but I’m changing now. No one could have predicted encountering the Black Serpent Clan. Everyone is deeply involved. Do you think you can hurt me by framing Xuanmo?”
"Even without me, do you think your Xiao Chong brother would accept you? Think about it carefully. You've been pursuing him for so long, and he would rather choose me, a fat female, than you."
"Look at yourself now, what a mess you've made of yourself. You've even abandoned your dignity as a female just to fight for a male."
"You...you...I..." Fang Ling's mouth was as if it were blocked, and she didn't know what to say.
"What do you mean, you uglier than me right now!"
Shu Ning found her rather cute.
"Don't do this again. I'll let you off this time, but if there's a next time, I won't let you off easily!"
"Did you hear me!" Shu Ning yelled at her deliberately.
Fang Ling was startled by her shout.
"I...I heard it."
Seeing that she was no longer acting recklessly, Shu Ning let go of her hand.
Fang Ling thought that if she found out that she had framed Xuan Mo, she would hand it over to Mu Xia to deal with.
I never expected her to let me off the hook.
But still feeling wronged after being frightened by her, he ran home, afraid that she would change her mind and take her to see Mu Xia.
Shu Ning watched Fang Ling run away, and thought of Xiao Chong...
Could it be that he really chose to become Fang Ling's partner just to avoid her?
That won't do.
She needs to talk to him and get things cleared up.
Just as Shu Ning was about to turn back, she saw Xiao Chong walking over at some point.
"You... saw it all?" Shu Ning asked awkwardly.
"Mm," Xiao Chong replied.
"no."
"Huh? What do you mean it isn't?" Shu Ning was stunned.
Xiao Chong placed his two long, beautiful hands on her shoulders.
He leaned down to look at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "I didn't become your partner because of her."
