Chapter 182 Mo Li's Father Passes Away
The next morning.
"Um……"
As soon as Shu Ning opened her eyes, she saw Han She lying on his side, his captivating eyes fixed on her.
Her upper body was exposed outside the blanket, her thin skin faintly visible.
"Good morning, Han She," Shu Ning greeted as she stretched after waking up.
As she stretched, he suddenly moved closer to her and put his arm around her waist.
"How were you feeling last night?" A sly glint flashed in his eyes as he asked in a deep, magnetic voice, "Any discomfort today?"
Thinking of last night, she blushed suddenly and said lightly, "No."
"Is that so?" Han She said, lowering his head to get closer to her, gazing deeply into her eyes, and gently pecking her forehead.
“Mm,” Shu Ning replied.
"Are you hungry?" Han She asked, bringing the already grilled meat to her.
The moment Shu Ning saw the grilled meat, her eyes lit up, and she took the meat and continued eating.
"Han She, where are you going later?" Shu Ning asked while eating.
"Later..." Han She watched her eating with relish, originally intending to return to the Serpent Tribe once his injuries healed.
After last night, he decided to stay another day to be with her.
"I'll stay with you today, we won't go anywhere," he replied.
"Really..." Shu Ning looked at the fact that summer was almost over and autumn was extremely short.
She plans to take advantage of the current weather to hunt more and replenish her food supplies.
Before the wolf pack had salt to store food, they would risk going out to hunt even in winter.
Now she not only has salt, but also a space that can store a large amount of food, enough for her and the others to get through the winter without having to go out hunting.
"Are you sure you want to come with me?" Shu Ning asked, and before he could answer, she said, "I'm planning to go out and gather more food."
"Gather food?" A barely perceptible hesitation flashed in Han She's eyes, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on her wrist. "I'll go with you."
"Han She, your body..."
I was initially worried about his injury, but then I thought about his performance last night...
"It's not safe for you to be alone." Han She's tone was unquestionable, exuding a cold and domineering aura.
“Hmm…” Shu Ning hesitated slightly.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be going to refuse, Han She was secretly delighted. "Ningning, wait for me."
"I'll go prepare some things," he said, getting up and dressing, then rummaging through a corner of the cave.
Since Han She moved in, Shu Ning's cave has been filled with many things that Han She brought from the Temple Snake Tribe.
"Han She, what have you prepared?" Shu Ning asked, looking at him with curiosity.
"Some things for self-defense." He pulled out a sharp dagger from somewhere, and then took out several animal hides. "And this, for warmth."
He stood up and handed her the animal hide, his eyes swirling with emotion.
"It's so hot now, why do you need to keep warm?" Shu Ning asked, puzzled.
“Even though it’s summer.” He lightly touched the tip of her nose with his fingertip, then unfolded an animal skin and draped it over her. “But the temperature difference between day and night is large in the deep mountains, so don’t catch a cold.”
Shu Ning took off the animal hide and stored it in her spatial storage. "Okay, I'll put it on again when we go inside."
"Mm," Han She replied, a barely perceptible hint of doting in her eyes, "Whatever you say..."
A barely perceptible hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't help but remind him, "But make sure you stay close to me later."
"Okay," Shu Ning replied as she got up.
Han She's lips curled up slightly, a possessive glint in his eyes, but his tone remained calm, "Let's go, Ningning."
“Mm,” Shu Ning replied.
The two of them then headed towards the forest behind the wolf clan's mountain.
Along the way, they picked some wild vegetables, mushrooms, scallions, and other ingredients.
Since they were taught how to cook soup in a pot, mushroom and fish soup has become a popular dish among the wolf orcs.
The food they could find near the wolf pack was not as easy to come by as it used to be.
A moment later, the two arrived in the forest. It was still morning, and the forest was quiet except for the occasional bird call.
Han She took the lead and walked into the depths of the forest, with Shu Ning following closely behind.
Soon after, Han She stopped, her vertical pupils fixed on the front, feeling the ground trembling beneath her feet. "Ningning, there seems to be movement ahead."
"What's that noise?" Shu Ning listened intently.
A flicker of wariness flashed in Han She's eyes, and he instinctively pulled her behind him, lowering his voice, "I'm not quite sure..."
He then transformed back into his original form, flicking his tongue and sniffing the air, exuding a dangerous aura.
"Stay here and don't move."
He silently probed forward, then returned a moment later, looking slightly relaxed, carrying three wild rabbits. "How many rabbits are there? Ningning, do you want to eat them?"
Shu Ning nodded as she looked at the rabbits in front of her, then put them into her spatial storage.
They then continued walking forward.
At this moment, at the entrance of Mo Li's cave—
"Third Prince, the Queen summons you back," a dragon-type beastman said, still panting.
Mo Li frowned upon hearing this, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
"Did they say what it was about?" he asked.
"Your father suddenly fell ill, and this morning we found out he... had passed away..." the Jiao Clan beastman said in a somber tone.
"What?" Upon hearing this news, Mo Li felt as if struck by lightning. She froze instantly, and the poisonous vine in her hand fell to the ground.
His fingertips clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.
His lips began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a weak sound.
"No……"
After a moment, he calmed himself down and looked at the dragon-like beastman in front of him. "Wait for me."
Just as he was about to set off to find Shu Ning's cave, he suddenly remembered that he had already been there that morning and she wasn't in the cave.
He turned back and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Let's go."
"yes."
Then they rushed towards the Jiao Clan at top speed.
At this moment, on a tree at the entrance to the wolf clan, the black bear beastman You Liao watched as one beastman of another race left the wolf clan, a dark glint flashing in his cold eyes.
"I didn't expect Xiao Chong to leave too." He looked at the backs of Xiao Chong and the other three, and said with surprise and delight.
"Whether he leaves or not, as long as Mo Li leaves, our plan will be half successful," the jackal beastman Lie Shi said with a wicked smile.
"How is your jackal tribe doing now?" You Liao asked.
The thought of how many of his people had been killed by the Nightmare filled Lie Shi with resentment.
"Don't worry, with the Lion Clan and the Leopard Clan together, we will definitely be able to take Crimson Flame Mountain this time!" he said angrily.
You Liao snorted coldly, still looking down on him. After so many of his people were killed, he still had to rely on alliances with other tribes to dare to resist.
"Now, the strongest member of the wolf clan is Xuan Lin."
The thought that Xuan Lin was Mu Yu's favorite person made him grit his teeth. "I hope Mu Chen won't let us down."
Lie Shi glanced at him, his tone contemptuous, "Don't worry, with Mu Chen's personality, he'd probably want to trample him under his feet long ago."
