Chapter 180 Jin Tong Returns to the Fox Clan
Xuan Lin, who had just arranged the meat, stopped what he was doing, sat down, and turned around to see Shu Ning and the others.
However, when he saw Xiao Yu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
I had just heard that he looked like Xiao Chong, but I never imagined they were cut from the same mold.
Without careful observation, it's really hard to tell them apart.
He patted the seat next to him, indicating that Shu Ning should sit next to him.
Seeing the expectant look in his eyes as he looked at her, Shu Ning sat down.
As soon as she sat down, he pulled her into his arms. Xuan Lin looked at Xiao Yu with icy eyes, exuding a dangerous aura, before lowering his head to kiss her forehead.
Shu Ning looked around but didn't see Jin Tong anywhere.
"Xuan Lin, where is Jin Tong?" she asked.
"The day you went back, the fox clan sent people to take him back," Xuan Lin said, feeding her a fruit.
"Why? Has something happened to the fox clan?" Shu Ning asked while chewing.
“The Fox Clan Chief has abdicated, and today is the day Chi Yan is elected as the new Chief. He needs to go back,” Xuan Lin said while skewering meat.
"I see... But if Chi Yan is the clan leader, why does Jin Tong need to go back?"
“This is the default rule,” Mo Li said, “so that fox-clan beastmen of similar status to him can witness the next clan leader.”
"That way, they won't have any objections in the future."
"In other words, it actually prevents those fox-clan beastmen who support high-ranking figures, such as those who support Jin Tong, from having any ulterior motives," Shu Ning said.
"Smart." Mo Li patted her head and said gently.
"Ningning, here you go." At this moment, Han She handed her the roasted meat.
Shu Ning frowned slightly when she saw that Han She's face was pale and she hadn't fully recovered.
"Han She, is your injury better? Why aren't you still lying in bed?" Shu Ning asked, taking the roasted meat from his hands.
"I'm fine now." A barely perceptible tenderness flashed in Han She's eyes as she subconsciously covered her chest with her clothes.
Looking down at the ground, her long eyelashes concealed the expression in her eyes, and she spoke calmly.
"I've been lying in bed for two days and I'm feeling a bit bored."
"That's good." Shu Ning said while eating, "You still need to be careful."
"Hmm." Han She was secretly pleased to see her concern, and deliberately probed, "What if I'm seriously injured..."
He looked up at her and asked, "Will you always take care of me?"
"Pah, pah, pah, don't say such unlucky things," Shu Ning said, frowning.
"Heh..." He chuckled softly, a triumphant smile in his eyes, "It's just a hypothetical situation."
Yan glanced at Han She beside her with disdain, then turned to Shu Ning, "Ning Ning, you just said you were going to cook something delicious for me."
"Oh right, I almost forgot, um..." She looked at the roasted meat that Han She had handed her, took a bite of it, reached out to skewer the meat and grill it, and then continued eating.
"Wait a minute," Shu Ning said while grilling.
Xiao Yu observed the beastmen surrounding her; each of them was outstanding in appearance, strength, and status, and they all doted on her to an impeccable degree.
He sighed softly, a hint of sadness flashing across his eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Chong patted his shoulder.
"nothing."
"My mother and I are planning to go to the Abandoned Beast Domain tomorrow to see my father. Do you want to come along?" Xiao Chong asked.
"Mm," Xiao Yu nodded in response.
At this moment, a Crimson Tiger Orc hurriedly ran to Nightmare's side.
Upon hearing this, Yan's expression turned terrifyingly gloomy, and then she whispered, "I understand. Go wait for me at the door."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the Crimson Tiger Beastman said before leaving.
"Ningning, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat the meat you grilled this time," Yan said to Shu Ning.
Shu Ning looked up at him. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
He got up and walked to her side, squatted down and patted her head, looking at her with his purple-gold eyes: "There's a small matter at Crimson Flame Mountain that I need to go back and take care of."
Shu Ning noticed that his expression wasn't good, and given how late it was, she guessed it was something serious.
She nodded: "Okay, then hurry back and be careful on the road."
"Mmm." Yan leaned down and kissed her forehead, saying earnestly, "Wait for me to come back."
After saying that, he got up and left.
Seeing Yan leave, Mu Chen walked behind Shu Ning and asked, "Little sister, where did he go?"
“He…” Shu Ning thought for a moment, “His second uncle’s mother gave birth, and Yan was so happy that he ran back home without stopping.”
"Haha." Mu Chen laughed after hearing this, "Then we really should go back and take a good look."
After saying that, he squatted down.
When Xuan Lin saw Mu Chen approaching Shu Ning, he pulled her closer to him.
Mu Chen chuckled when he saw Xuan Lin's protective attitude towards the woman.
"Little sister, your beast husband really loves you. He's so protective of his females that he even has to be wary of me, his own brother."
Shu Ning turned her head to look at Xuan Lin's cold expression, then looked back at him, about to say something.
At this moment, Xiao Chong came over and picked up Shu Ning, saying, "Ning Ning, your brother Xiao Chong has some lean meat here that you like to eat."
Seeing Shu Ning being carried away, Mu Chen felt too embarrassed to go over and continue talking to her.
He then stood up and said with a smile, "Enjoy your meal, I have to go back now."
Watching Mu Chen's departing figure, Shu Ning then observed the expressions of Xuan Lin and Xiao Chong.
"Xiao Chong, is there something wrong with Mu Chen?" Shu Ning asked.
"Mm," Xiao Chong replied.
"What's the problem?" Shu Ning asked.
He released Shu Ning, his hands still resting on her shoulders. "Ning Ning, there are some things... it's better if you don't know them."
He looked at Mu Chen as he spoke, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
“Okay…” Shu Ning was still puzzled.
Xiao Chong gently stroked the top of her head, his eyes full of doting affection: "Don't think about these things. What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"tomorrow……"
She had originally planned to make Jin Tong his favorite sweets and pastries, but now Jin Tong was no longer with the wolf clan...
Or maybe they made roast chicken for Nightmare, but he went out too.
"I haven't decided yet." She said, suddenly thinking about their favorability ratings. Now, only Xuan Lin and Yi Yuan have the lowest favorability ratings.
Turning to Xuan Lin, she asked, "And you, Xuan Lin, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
Xuan Lin's silver eyes flickered slightly, his expression calm, and his gaze towards Shu Ning was deep. "Tomorrow... there are clan matters to attend to. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was just asking," Shu Ning said.
Xuan Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in them. "You want me to accompany you?"
As she finished speaking, images of other orcs accompanying her every day flashed through her mind, and a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
"Friendly reminder: Xuan Lin's favorability has increased by 2 points. Xuan Lin's total favorability is now 68."
Hearing the system assistant's voice in her mind, Shu Ning hesitated.
"Don't you have something to do tomorrow? Then you go ahead and do your thing." Shu Ning said, pursing her lips.
"Hmm." Xuan Lin's silver eyes flickered slightly. Although he didn't know why she suddenly cared about him, he still felt a little happy.
"Friendly reminder: Xuan Lin's favorability has increased by 2 points. Xuan Lin's total favorability is now 70."
