Chapter 199 The Nightmare Returns
"Friendly reminder: Mo Li's affection level has increased by 3 points, and her total affection level is now 100. There is no need to pursue Mo Li any further."
"Congratulations, host, you have completed the mission to win over Mo Li. Your reward is a complete set of self-defense weapons," 007 suddenly appeared and said.
Mo Li grew increasingly fond of the kiss, his eyes already tinged with a faint red. Just as he was about to take the next step, Shu Ning stopped him.
Mo Li suddenly froze, released her, and looked at her in confusion.
"Mo Li, today is Jin Tong's birthday, and I promised him." Shu Ning looked apologetic as she observed his expression.
Upon hearing this, Mo Li felt reluctant but didn't want to put her in a difficult position, so she generously smiled and said, "It's his birthday... so you should spend time with him."
"Are you leaving now?" he asked in a low voice.
"I brought you some delicious food that we made today," Shu Ning said, taking a cake out of her spatial storage.
"What's this?" Mo Li asked, looking at the bowl of egg-yolk pastries in her hand with curiosity in her eyes.
"This is a cake, made with flour and other ingredients." Shu Ning then took out a small knife and handed it to him. "Try it."
"Okay." Mo Li took the cake and knife from her hand, cut it open, forked a piece, and put it in her mouth.
"It's sweet," he said, savoring the taste. "And there are bird eggs, animal milk, and fruit..."
"It's delicious, sweet but not fishy or greasy. The cooking method is unique, and the taste is truly rare," Mo Li concluded.
Hearing Mo Li's confirmation, Shu Ning happily explained, "This was made with the help of a blender. It's a treasure I recently acquired that can blend food into powder."
"Oh?" Mo Li listened to her description with curiosity, wondering what kind of thing could turn food into powder.
"Hmm, I'll show you when I make some delicious food another day."
"Did you design this cake yourself?" He forked a piece and put it in Shu Ning's mouth.
"Well, I don't usually make this, but this time it turned out pretty well. I'll make one for you for your birthday next time," Shu Ning said.
Mo Li felt a warm feeling in her heart when she thought about how she would make the food that only Shu Ning knew how to make. "Cake... I'm really looking forward to it."
"By the way, you said you were going to stay with him today, are you going back now?" Mo Li asked reluctantly.
“Yes, I came to the Jiao Clan to see you, brought you a cake, and then went back.” Shu Ning said, then, remembering something, took out a jar of jam from her spatial storage. “Oh, right, Mo Li, this jam is for you.”
"This was made especially for me?" Mo Li looked at the jam in her hand, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Yes, do you like it?
“Yes, I like it, but Ningning, I’ll go back with you tonight,” Mo Li said.
"Okay." Shu Ning pulled him away.
"Wait a minute," Mo Li said, "I want to give this jar of jam to my mother. Will Ning Ning mind?"
After Mo Li finished speaking, he observed her expression.
“Of course not,” Shu Ning said.
"Okay, then Ningning, wait for me."
“Okay,” Shu Ning replied.
After watching Mo Li leave the palace, Shu Ning sat down to wait.
She knew her appearance was too sudden; otherwise, she should have gone to see his mother.
Mo Li's mother cared for her just as much as Mu Xia did for her. Now that she has lost her beast husband, she must be very sad.
Perhaps giving this jar of jam to her is the best way to use it.
A moment later, Mo Li returned.
"Just leave it here," Mo Li said to the Jiao Clan beastman.
"Yes," the dragon-like beastman replied.
Shu Ning went outside after hearing the sound.
"Ningning, let's go. Can we take these things with us?" Mo Li asked.
“Okay.” Shu Ning looked at the several boxes of things Mo Li brought back, and without asking any questions, she pulled him and teleported back to the wolf clan.
When they returned to the wolf pack, it was already dark.
This time, Shu Ning brought Mo Li back to his cave.
"These are gifts from our Jiao clan to the wolf clan." Mo Li opened one of the boxes to show Shu Ning.
Shu Ning saw that it contained some strange pills she had never seen before.
“These pills can speed up wound healing, and the wolves probably need them right now,” he said.
“Yes, it’s very necessary, Mo Li, thank you,” Shu Ning said.
"No need to thank me, it's only right. I couldn't help the wolf clan like Xuanmo did, nor could I protect you like Hanshe and Jintong did. It's already my dereliction of duty as a beast husband."
Shu Ning smiled gently, "Alright then, I'll accept it on behalf of the wolf clan."
After storing the medicinal herbs in her spatial storage, Shu Ning bid farewell to Mo Li and went directly to Xuanlin Cave to have him process the herbs Mo Li had returned.
Xuan Lin, who was just about to lie down, immediately became alert when he sensed someone in the cave. The next second, he breathed a sigh of relief when he smelled a familiar scent.
"Xuan Lin, I'm sorry to disturb your rest," Shu Ning said.
"It's nothing." Xuan Lin stood up, assuming she had come to him about his sexuality. "What brings you here..."
"These were brought back by Mo Li from the Jiaolong Clan. I brought them back for him when I went to the Jiaolong Clan to find him." Shu Ning took out the medicinal herbs from her spatial storage.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Xuan Lin's eyes, but he replied in a magnetic voice, "Mm."
"Do you want to stay here tonight?" He knew it was Jin Tong's birthday today and she wouldn't stay, but he still asked one more question.
"I promised Jintong I'd stay with him today," Shu Ning said.
"Get some rest, Xuan Lin." Shu Ning said and then disappeared.
Xuan Lin looked at Shu Ning, who had suddenly disappeared, his eyes dimmed, and then he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Shu Ning went into the Cave of the Grim Pupil but didn't find the Grim Pupil. She called out softly, "Grim Pupil, are you there?"
Jin Tong, who was waiting in front of the cave, kept glancing around. After some time had passed and he still hadn't seen Shu Ning, he lay down on the tree trunk.
He had just lain down when he heard Shu Ning calling his voice. He immediately got up, strained his ears to listen, and when there was no sound, he thought he was hallucinating.
"Jin Tong." Shu Ning walked out of the cave, her voice louder.
Jin Tong was overjoyed. He swooped down from the tree, ran to Shu Ning, hugged her, and buried his head in her neck.
"Ningning, I thought you weren't coming..." Jin Tong said in a muffled voice.
"Jintong, I'm sorry for taking up so much time," Shu Ning said, patting his back to comfort him.
"It's okay, Ningning, you don't need to apologize to me. I'm already happy that you came." Jintong let go of her and said earnestly.
Then he scooped her up and carried her into his cave...
Outside the cave, the bright moon hangs high in the sky; inside, no one sleeps all night.
The next morning.
As soon as Shu Ning opened her eyes, she saw Yan sitting sideways on the edge of the bed.
"nightmare?"
Upon hearing that Shu Ning had woken up, Yan immediately turned around, placed a hand beside her, leaned closer to her, looked at her with his captivating purple-gold eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Ning Ning."
"Nightmare, what brings you here? How are your injuries?" Shu Ning asked, sitting up.
"My injury is nothing," he said softly. "Did you come looking for me last night?" Yan felt guilty as she thought about her actions.
