Chapter 19 Brother Xiao Chong, will you come with me to the Black Bear Clan?
Watching Xuan Mo's departing figure, Shu Ning felt inexplicably sad.
It was as if I had done something to offend him.
But seeing that he has recovered well, I felt a little relieved.
"It's my turn."
Suddenly, a deep, magnetic male voice came from beside me, and then someone pulled my hand and led me to the center of the stage.
"The ceremony begins—" the high priest shouted.
She looked up and glanced at Xiao Chong beside her.
His handsome face was expressionless.
Her expression was complicated.
...
"The ceremony is complete."
The ceremony ended quickly, and it was still morning.
Afterwards, Shu Ning pondered how to get to the salt lake.
These past few days, I've been eating meat without salt, and it's been really bland and tasteless.
We need to hurry up and stock up on salt while the weather is nice.
Meat that can't be eaten in the summer can be cured, and in the winter when hunting is difficult, cured meat can be made in advance as a food reserve.
I don't know if that place has been discovered or occupied by other orcs.
Shu Ning wanted to find a beastly husband to take her there.
But she hasn't lost weight yet, and she still weighs at least 300 pounds. Which beastly husband would be willing to take her with him?
Shu Ning's eyes suddenly lit up when she noticed the tall man beside her.
How could she not have thought of that? She almost forgot about her old partner.
"Brother Xiao Chong, are you busy today?"
Shu Ning mimicked Fang Ling's tone, blinking her eyes as she looked at him.
"What is it?" Xiao Chong frowned.
He used to be allergic to that name.
But now, when someone else calls him, he doesn't seem to mind.
"I'd like to go out for a walk, would you like to come with me?"
She couldn't directly say the place, nor could she directly say she was going to find salt, otherwise how could she explain how she knew there was salt there?
Otherwise, we'll have to bring up the gods again.
"Where do you want to go?" A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Chong's eyes. It had been a while since she had asked him to go out.
"How about something a little more exciting?" Shu Ning asked expectantly.
"Oh?" The man's lips curled slightly as he looked at her with interest.
"I was attacked by a black bear a few days ago. Luckily, Xuanmo was nearby at the time, otherwise I would have almost lost my life."
Shu Ning feigned a pitiful expression and played the victim.
"Thinking about it now, I still can't swallow this insult. How could they roam freely among our wolf clan!"
"Want to go to the Black Bear Clan?"
"Mmm!" Shu Ning nodded.
"Can."
Seeing that the man agreed, Shu Ning smiled happily.
"I disagree!"
Mu Xia, who was behind them at some point, suddenly spoke up.
“Mother…” Shu Ning turned around and looked aggrieved.
"Ningning, listen to me, we're not going, it's too dangerous there."
"Okay, then let's not go there, let's go somewhere else." Shu Ning knew that Mu Xia wouldn't give in easily, so she had no choice but to change her mind.
After saying that, she took Xiao Chong's hand and started to leave.
"Wait, let's call Xuan Lin along."
"Mother, why do you want to call him?"
Shu Ning didn't really want to include Xuan Lin, that cold, icy guy, in the conversation.
He was the one who hated her the most among all the beastly husbands.
“It’s fine if you don’t go with Xuan Lin, but nobody is allowed to go today,” Mu Xia said sternly.
She knew that Shu Ning would definitely outwardly agree but inwardly go secretly.
Xuan Lin is the strongest top male in the wolf tribe, so having one more person means more safety.
"Alright, I'll go find Xuan Lin now."
Shu Ning knew she couldn't fool her, so she had no choice but to obediently go find Xuan Lin.
On the way, she realized she was still holding Xiao Chong's hand, and embarrassed, she let go, a blush spreading across her face.
Xiao Chong smiled slightly and took her hand back after she let go.
Shu Ning was surprised. Didn't he mind her as she was now?
Xuanlin Cave Mansion —
Xuan Lin saw the two of them from afar.
It seems that Xiao Chong has really been drugged by her, and there is no cure for him.
"Hello, Xuan Lin!" Shu Ning greeted him somewhat reluctantly.
She saw the disgust in his eyes.
That scoundrel, he doesn't even bother to pretend.
"Come with me somewhere!" Shu Ning said with a fake smile.
“I’m not going.” Xuan Lin refused without hesitation, his tone as cold as ice in the dead of winter.
She knew it!
“My mother wants you to come with us.”
There was no other way but to bring up my mother.
...
"Where to?" Xuan Lin asked impatiently.
Shu Ning looked around and saw that there was no one else besides Xiao Chong. She whispered, "Black Bear Clan."
"madman."
Xuan Lin said in an icy tone, taking a deep breath.
"Which black bear have you set your sights on this time?"
"You're the one who's got your eye on that black bear!" Shu Ning retorted.
What are you going there for?
What's that fat female up to now? She's always causing so much trouble.
"Don't ask any more questions, just come with us."
Shu Ning didn't give him a friendly look either.
Xuan Lin was furious at her words, but he still suppressed his anger.
That fat female, I should have known better than to come back.
The three then set off towards the Black Bear Clan.
Shu Ning naturally couldn't keep up with their speed, so she could only ask Xiao Chong to make do again.
The two males ran side by side, neither moving at a faster pace than the other.
The Black Bear tribe was quite far away, and it was really strange that the three of them hadn't spoken a word the whole way.
Shu Ning wanted to break the atmosphere.
Shu Ning: "Brother Xiao Chong, am I very heavy?"
Xiao Chong: "Not heavy."
Shu Ning: "Brother Xiao Chong, don't lie to me. If you're tired, we can take a rest."
Xiao Chong: "It's nothing."
Xuan Lin:…
As her first beastly husband, he now seemed like a third wheel.
"If you're tired, we'll take a break." Seeing him carrying this fat female on his back, she felt sorry for him for a second.
Xiao Chong didn't reply to him.
This time, he could clearly feel that the female on his body was much lighter than last time.
Yi Yuan had always brought her food, so what's going on lately? Could it be that he's already...?
It seems that from now on, he will be in charge of her meals.
"The Black Bear Clan's territory should be just ahead!" Shu Ning saw a mountain that looked exactly like the one in the encyclopedia.
“That’s right,” Xiao Chong replied.
How do you plan to explore this time?
They had visited other ethnic groups before, sometimes in disguise, sometimes undercover at night.
“We won’t go inside this time, we’ll go around,” Shu Ning replied.
Xiao Chong was puzzled, but he did as instructed.
Shu Ning recalled the approximate location of the salt lake from the encyclopedia.
We still have to cross several mountains to get there.
"Brother Xiao Chong, I heard there's a beautiful lake over in the back mountains of the Black Bear Clan. I want to go see it!"
"Who told you that?" Xiao Chong asked, puzzled. He had never heard of her saying that.
"I don't remember," Shu Ning said guiltily.
“Okay, then let’s go see that beautiful lake today,” Xiao Chong said.
Xuan Lin remained silent, simply continuing forward.
He just didn't expect that the journey to this so-called lake was much longer than he had imagined.
The sun was already setting.
"Are you playing us?!" Xuan Lin asked impatiently, his eyes filled with malice.
As it got dark, Shu Ning felt uncertain.
"We should be there soon." She looked somewhat flustered.
"Don't panic. If there's nothing there, we'll just treat this as an adventure," Xiao Chong said gently, sensing the tension in the female on his body.
Hearing Xiao Chong's words, Shu Ning felt a little relieved.
