Chapter 193 Who to Choose Tonight
Shu Ning felt his warm breath on her neck and instantly understood what he meant. "Then..." she hesitated, wondering how to answer.
Suddenly, Yi Yuan leaned closer, placing his hand on her back and his upper body close to hers. With his other hand, he held out a piece of grilled meat to Shu Ning and asked, "Ning Ning, what are you two talking about?"
"N-nothing." Shu Ning took the grilled meat from Yi Yuan and looked at the two men in front of her.
"Heh..." Yi Yuan's lips curled slightly, and he smiled silently, "Who are you planning to have with Ning Ning tonight?"
As soon as Yi Yuan finished speaking, he effortlessly stirred the emotions of the other beastmen once again.
Jin Tong spoke first, his fiery red eyes looking at her expectantly, his tone rising as he said, "Ning Ning, come with me!"
As Shu Ning ate, she glanced at Jin Tong, recalling how quickly his favorability rating had increased, almost reaching the same level as Xuan Mo's.
If I agree to his request, wouldn't I be able to complete his strategy ahead of schedule?
“Ning, we’ve been married for so long…” Xuan Lin, who had been silently grilling meat, suddenly spoke up, his deep eyes looking at her, his tone deep and alluring, “You’ve never chosen me even once.”
Shu Ning looked in Xuan Lin's direction and saw the burning gaze in his silver eyes.
Considering that his favorability rating is lower than others, perhaps being with him could raise it.
But the injuries he sustained while fighting the Black Bear Clan... though they were external wounds, external wounds are more painful, and she couldn't bear to see him suffer.
Then, looking at Yi Yuan who was right in front of him, he saw a dark undercurrent in the depths of Yi Yuan's golden eyes, his gaze alluring, and the corners of his lips slightly upturned.
At that moment, she suddenly felt Xuan Mo holding her hand tightly. Shu Ning turned her head and saw him. In the instant their eyes met, Shu Ning saw a strong possessiveness surging in Xuan Mo's eyes.
She looked around at them again and finally decided to speak: "Today I choose Xuanmo."
Xuanmo's hand suddenly trembled and he gripped her tightly.
As soon as Shu Ning finished speaking, she immediately heard the sound of Xuan Mo's favorability rating increasing in her mind.
"Friendly reminder: Xuanmo's favorability has increased by 1 point, and the current total favorability is 99."
Xuan Mo lowered his eyes to look at Shu Ning, his black pupils flashing, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.
He then released her hand and instead wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him, his breathing becoming slightly rapid.
Aside from her time with the Black Serpent Clan, this was the first time she had chosen him from among the Wolf Clan and her many beast husbands.
"Ningning..." Xuanmo called out silently, wanting to hug her tighter but afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so his slender fingers held her back.
The others who weren't chosen by Shu Ning lowered their eyes, and their hands gripped the meat less forcefully.
"Sigh, I'm so envious..." Chi Yan said sourly from the sidelines, turning his head to look at Jin Tong's dejected and lifeless eyes, "But Jin Tong, you don't seem to be very favored."
Upon hearing Chi Yan's words, Jin Tong's already drooping tail immediately bristled: "Who said that!"
Recalling all the little moments with Shu Ning, Jin Tong boasted, "When she goes out, she thinks of me and brings me delicious food, which no one else does."
“When we went to track down the missing stray animals, underground in the desert, she even gave me a new fur coat that I liked, which no one else had!”
"Wait a minute," Chi Yan interrupted Jin Tong, "You went to the desert? Which desert?"
"The Phantom Desert," Jin Tong asked, puzzled. "What's wrong? Haven't you been there? Want me to tell you about our experience? It was so exciting!"
Upon hearing the words "Illusory Devouring Desert," Chi Yan's pupils constricted in shock. "I've heard that the remnant soul of the Yinglong can appear in the Illusory Devouring Desert. Many orcs have been bewitched and lost there, eventually dying of thirst and starvation in the desert."
"How did you escape the illusion?" he asked.
“Hmm…” Jin Tong recalled, “It was Han She. He’s been there before, and he has experience leading us there.”
"I see. So why did you go there to track down the missing stray beasts?" Chi Yan continued to ask.
"Can't we just be bored?" Jin Tong thought of Mo Li's transformation into a dragon and didn't tell him the truth.
"Alright, I knew you were playful." Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about it, Chi Yan stopped asking. "But don't go to such dangerous places in the future, so your parents won't have to worry about you again."
"I know, I know," Jin Tong said impatiently.
At this moment, Mu Yu walked over and stopped behind Shu Ning.
Seeing this, the beastmen became secretly on guard.
Shu Ning sensed someone behind her. She turned around and saw Mu Yu, who seemed to have something to say.
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Yu said, "Shu Ning, I admit I lost this time."
“If it weren’t for me, the wolf clan wouldn’t have suffered this calamity…” she sighed. “You’re right, I really should reflect on what I’ve done.”
“No one can predict the ambitions and methods of the Black Bear Clan, but it is truly commendable that you are willing to reflect on yourself,” Shu Ning said.
"Alas, no matter how much we reflect, we can't bring back the people who lost their lives. But Shu Ning, you were really brave this time. You are a role model for us females!" Mu Yu thought of Shu Ning's outstanding combat strength and felt very envious.
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going back now." Mu Yu said and got up to leave.
Shu Ning watched her retreating figure, a complex feeling welling up inside her. She then said to Xuan Mo, "Xuan Mo, I'm full. Let's go back."
“Mm,” Xuanmo replied, then got up and picked her up.
The people next to them noticed the empty seats after they left, and they felt a sense of emptiness in their hearts as well.
Inside Xuanmo Cave——
"Xuanmo, have the Black Serpent Clan all gone back?" Shu Ning asked, looking at the cave ceiling.
"I'll go back tomorrow," Xuanmo replied, suppressing the agitation in his heart.
"And what about you?"
"Why are you suddenly concerned about this?" Xuan Mo suddenly turned and moved closer to her, his amber pupils fixed on her. "Are you reluctant to part with me?"
Looking at his cold, handsome face and his burning desire in his eyes, Shu Ning bit her lip and said, "Mmm..."
Before Shu Ning could finish speaking, Xuan Mo forcefully leaned down and kissed her.
"Friendly reminder: Xuanmo's favorability has increased by 1 point, and his total favorability is now 100. There is no need to announce Xuanmo's favorability anymore."
When the system assistant's voice disappeared, Shu Ning felt a strange sadness in her heart.
From now on, she can be like a system assistant and won't need to try to win him over anymore.
"Congratulations, host, on completing the Xuanmo conquest mission. You are rewarded with a seed gift pack." 007's voice rang in my mind.
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning, who was kissing Xuan Mo, suddenly felt embarrassed.
"You guys continue, I won't disturb you any longer~" 007 said and then disappeared.
Sensing the female's stiff response, Xuanmo stopped what he was doing. "What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.
"It's alright, Xuanmo," Shu Ning replied, snapping out of her daze.
"With me by your side, how dare you get distracted?" Xuanmo's worries disappeared after hearing this, and he deliberately teased her, "I'll have to punish my Ningning properly tonight."
He gently stroked the tip of her nose, a smile playing on his lips.
Shu Ning's pupils dilated in surprise upon hearing this, and her ears turned red as she recalled his "combat prowess" during his time with the Black Clan.
"What, are you scared?" Xuanmo looked at her reaction with tenderness in his eyes and said in a doting voice.
"How could this be..." Shu Ning shifted her gaze to the side.
He gently pinched her chin with his fingertips, making her look at him again. "That's good..." he said, then leaned down to kiss her again.
