Chapter 195 Jin Tong's Birthday
"Haha, are you not crying now?" Xuanmo patted her head and laughed.
"Mmm," Shu Ning replied, tears welling in her eyes.
"Lemon!"
A voice came from outside the cave, and Shu Ning looked in the direction of the sound.
Jin Tong walked in from outside the cave as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong, Jin Tong?" Shu Ning asked.
Just as Jin Tong was about to say something, he noticed Shu Ning's tear-stained eyes. He sat down on the edge of the bed with concern and cupped her face in his hands: "Ning Ning, why are you crying?"
"It's nothing," Shu Ning said.
Seeing that Shu Ning refused to talk, Jin Tong felt as if his heart was being torn apart. "Did Xuan Mo bully you?"
He glared at Xuanmo with fiery red eyes, "Xuanmo! Did you bully Ningning?!"
Shu Ning quickly grabbed Jin Tong, "It wasn't Xuan Mo, no one bullied me."
"Then what's wrong with you?" Jin Tong asked with concern in her eyes.
"I just had a nightmare, it's okay, Xuanmo has already comforted me."
"That's great, Ningning. From now on, you can sleep with me, and I guarantee you'll sleep soundly every day!" Jin Tong said excitedly.
"Hmm..." Shu Ning pursed her lips, "By the way, Jin Tong, what brings you here?"
"Today is my birthday, and I thought..." Jin Tong said, looking at her shyly.
"It's your birthday today, Jintong. I'm sorry, I don't know what you want." Shu Ning asked.
"I want you to spend a day with me." Jin Tong looked at her expectantly.
“No problem,” Shu Ning said.
"Great, Ningning!" Jintong excitedly picked her up.
"Ningning, I found a place where flowers are blooming, will you come with me?"
“Okay,” Shu Ning replied.
Then Jin Tong took Shu Ning out.
Inside the Lion Clan——
"Damn it! We were about to conquer it, but who would have thought that the Viper Tribe would suddenly appear out of nowhere!" the Lion Tribe chief said angrily.
"Indeed, they almost took over Crimson Flame Mountain," said the leopard clan leader. "When did they form an alliance?"
“I heard that the female of Yi Yuan, the leader of the Viper Tribe, and Yan, the leader of the Crimson Flame Tiger, are the same,” said the Jackal Tribe leader.
“I was wondering why these two tribes, which had never really crossed paths before, would suddenly receive help…” the lion chieftain said.
As Huang Ren listened to his discussion, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Father, I have an idea."
"Oh? What idea does Huangren have? Tell me," said the lion chieftain.
“Father, if we want to conquer Crimson Flame Mountain, we must sever the connection between them that they share a common female.”
"Once we kill their females, they will fall apart, and then we can attack them..."
At this point, he smirked, "Let's see if they'll still help each other."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Upon hearing this, the lion chieftain laughed with satisfaction, "My son has truly grown up and is now able to share his father's burdens."
The other two tribal leaders were also smiling.
"Your lion clan truly produces many talented individuals!" the leopard clan leader flattered. "Both of your sons are so outstanding!"
"Haha, you flatter me. My eldest son is alright, but my second son... he's not quite there yet and needs to work harder."
He looked at the silent Huang Ying below and gave her a complicated expression.
"Blade, do you have a strategy behind saying that?" the lion chieftain asked.
“Father, one of my men just said he saw their females near Windbone Mountain,” Huang Ren said.
“Oh? Is that so…” The lion chieftain narrowed his eyes slightly. “How many of them are there?” he asked seriously.
"Not many, just two. One of them is a fox, probably her fox clan beast husband," Huang Ren guessed.
"That's wonderful! It's like heaven is helping us!" the lion chieftain exclaimed excitedly. "Give the order to kill that wolf female and that fox."
“Father.” At this moment, Huang Ying, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
The lion chieftain frowned and asked impatiently, "What is it?"
“No,” Huangying said.
"Second brother, are you jealous of me? Are you afraid that I will be favored by Father and neglect you?" Huang Ren said with annoyance.
"Shadow, tell me why you can't?" the lion chieftain asked patiently.
"As far as I know, all the wolf female's mates dote on her and love her dearly. If she were to die at our hands, I'm afraid our lion clan would..."
"What are you afraid of!" Huang Ren said angrily, "If you're so cowardly, go home and stay there!"
“Father, don’t listen to him. My second brother has always been like this. When he was a child, he didn’t dare to fight back when he was beaten. Now that he’s grown up, he’s still so timid. It’s inevitable that he’s too restrained in his thinking.”
“Hmm…” the lion chieftain replied, “What do you think?” He looked at the leopard and jackal chieftains beside him and said.
"The wolf clan is almost wiped out by the black bear clan. What's there to be afraid of if it's just a female wolf?" The jackal chieftain gritted his teeth as he spoke of the female wolf.
“I think Huangying’s consideration is thorough, but he is overly worried. I heard that the wolf female has been a vicious female since childhood, and it is common knowledge among the wolf clan that she beats and scolds her beast husband.”
“Yes, yes, my son also witnessed firsthand how she abused her beastmen in the wolf clan,” the jackal chieftain chimed in.
The leopard chieftain continued, "Just recently, she even took advantage of being the daughter of the wolf clan's holy female to forcibly marry a male sent by both clans for a marriage alliance. I don't believe that they all doted on her and loved her."
"Hmm..." The lion chieftain nodded after hearing this, "Let's do as Huang Ren says!"
"Father……"
“Ying’er, I know your concerns, but as a male, you need to be bolder. Otherwise, do you think I became the leader back then? Alright, that’s enough.” He waved his hand at him, unwilling to listen to him anymore.
"Sigh!" Huang Ying sighed inwardly, his brows furrowed.
Mount Kagami —
"Ningning, we're almost there. Close your eyes first," Jin Tong said.
"Okay," Shu Ning replied, gripping Jin Tong's fox fur tightly, and closed her eyes.
A moment later, a floral fragrance wafted over on the breeze.
"It smells so good!" Shu Ning exclaimed after smelling the flowers.
"You can open your eyes now," Jin Tong said.
"Okay." Shu Ning slowly opened her eyes.
As my vision gradually cleared, a place that looked like a fairyland came into view.
"Wow! These flowers are so beautiful!" Shu Ning exclaimed as she looked at the hills covered with all sorts of incredibly vibrant flowers.
Many butterflies fluttered and danced on the flowers, flying in pairs, intertwined and flying together.
"Jintong, how did you find this place? I didn't know there was such a flower."
"Hehe, I discovered it by accident." After putting Shu Ning down, Jin Tong transformed back into human form.
He took her hand and led her into the flower bushes.
There aren't many tall trees on this hill; you'll find a round-shaped tree growing far apart, with shrubs underneath, making it seem not very tall.
Smelling the fragrance of flowers, walking through low bushes, my fingertips lightly brushed against the bright flowers, leaving pollen behind.
Jin Tong stopped, turned around to face Shu Ning, and stared intently at her with his fiery red eyes.
Just as Shu Ning was wondering, Jin Tong suddenly smeared pollen from his fingertips onto the center of her forehead.
He then wrapped his arms around her and leaned down to kiss her.
And so, the two embraced and kissed amidst the flowers, with butterflies fluttering around them as if in celebration.
