Chapter 21 Shu Ning is missing
Shu Ning was speechless at his cold words.
Immediately, he felt dizzy and weak all over, and without warning, he fell forward.
Bang--
Xuan Lin was stunned and didn't have time to help her up.
The wound, which had been covered, immediately began to bleed again once it was freed.
He looked at the horrifying claw marks on her back, the blood staining her back and soaking her tattered animal skin.
His eyes darkened, and though reluctant, he helped her up, letting her lean against him.
Then, they covered her wound with the fur that had already been stained red.
He breathed a sigh of relief after the bleeding stopped.
His gaze fell on her face, which was tightly closed, and he noticed how clean it had become under the moonlight.
Beneath her tear-soaked eyelashes lay fair and delicate skin, but it was completely bloodless, and her lips were pale and dry due to excessive blood loss.
She leaned calmly on his shoulder.
He became quite engrossed in watching it.
Then, remembering what she had done in the past, her eyes turned cold again.
What's wrong with her?
When Xiao Chong returned with the herbs, his eyes darkened upon seeing her appearance.
I'm dizzy.
Upon hearing that she had fainted, he quickly crushed the herbs and applied them to the wound, then gently bandaged it.
“Leave it to me,” he said to Xuan Lin.
Xuan Lin didn't hesitate and handed her over to him.
After taking the unconscious Shu Ning, he gently picked her up.
"Let's go," Xiao Chong said softly.
"Um."
After returning to the wolf tribe, the two parted ways.
Xiao Chong carried Shu Ning back to his cave and then gently placed her on his bed.
Looking at her pale face, her eyes were dark, and his gaze fell on her chapped lips.
Then we went to the river to fetch water.
When he returned, he found that Shu Ning was gone.
He panicked instantly.
She's awake?
Impossible, her injuries are so severe…
Someone must have kidnapped her while he was away.
Thinking about this, he lost his composure...
Then quickly analyze who is most likely to take her away.
Finally, the two were narrowed down to Xuanmo and Moli.
This morning, when they were getting married, Xuanmo came to see her. He seemed strange at the time, so he is the prime suspect.
Xuanmo Cave Entrance —
"Xuanmo, come out here!" Xiao Chong shouted at the entrance of Xuanmo Cave, his anger evident in his eyes.
"What is it?" Xuan Mo walked out sleepily, looking impatient.
Is she with you?
"baffling."
Xuanmo ignored him and continued on his way back.
Xiao Chong became even angrier and went up to grab his shoulder.
Upon seeing this, Xuanmo quickly dodged away.
"You're insane!"
Xuanmo was angered by his actions.
"Shu Ning is missing! Did you take her away?"
How do you know she's missing?
Xuanmo's drowsiness dissipated.
"We encountered an attack from the Black Bear tribe outside today. She was injured and is now seriously wounded. Did you take her away?"
After Xiao Chong finished speaking, he was about to walk into his cave.
Upon hearing his words, Xuanmo instantly sobered up, a complex expression appearing on his face.
"Don't come in, she's not with me."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xiao Chong turned and left.
Xuanmo then followed.
...
At this moment, the unconscious Shu Ning was in a warm embrace, and someone was feeding her water.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..." She slowly opened her eyes after choking on the water.
A handsome face came into view, and he looked at her with eyes full of worry.
"You're awake," a deep, magnetic voice said.
"Mo Li?"
Shu Ning shouted in a hoarse voice.
"How are you feeling? Any better?"
"I'm feeling better."
Shu Ning felt extremely uncomfortable seeing him holding her like that and looking down at her like that.
I was both surprised and shy.
Didn't he despise her?
How come now...
"Put me down," Shu Ning said shyly.
That's so embarrassing.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mo Li noticed her frowning.
"No, I...I want to lie down."
If we don't let go of her, she'll dig out a three-bedroom apartment.
"good."
Then he gently put her down.
"Mo Li, how did I end up here with you?"
Shu Ning was puzzled. She remembered that she had just been in the forest with Xuan Lin.
Who hurt you?
Mo Li paused, not answering her, but instead asking a question.
He saw Xiao Chong holding her outside, and he noticed that her hair was disheveled and her clothes were tattered.
Just as he was about to go in and question him, he saw him leave from the cave.
He went inside and, upon getting closer, discovered that her face was pale and her clothes were covered in blood.
A complex emotion welled up inside him, and then he picked her up and carried her away.
"Is it Xiao Chong?" He suppressed his anger.
"No…"
"Mo Li, come out here!"
Before Shu Ning could finish speaking, she heard shouts from outside.
"Wait me a moment."
After speaking with Shu Ning, Mo Li stood up and turned around, her face instantly revealing a ruthless expression.
He twisted his neck slightly, and a few crisp cracks came from his neck.
He then strode out.
Upon seeing Mo Li emerge, the expression on his face confirmed to Xiao Chong that Shu Ning was indeed there.
Is Shu Ning with you?
"So what if it is?" Mo Li's tone was icy.
"It really is you! How is she?!"
After Xiao Chong finished speaking, he was about to go inside.
"She's fine, you don't need to worry about her."
After Mo Li finished speaking, she turned around and punched him hard.
Xiao Chong was startled by the sudden punch, then chuckled, spat out a mouthful of blood, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He then retaliated...
...
Xuanmo, speechless and unwilling to pay attention to them, walked into Moli's cave.
“Xuanmo…”
Shu Ning endured the pain and stood up.
Seeing this, Xuanmo quickly walked to her side, sat on the edge of the bed, and pulled her into his arms.
I accidentally bumped into her from behind.
Shu Ning frowned.
Seeing her frown, Xuanmo glanced at her back.
Her clothes on the back were torn as if by something, and covered in bloodstains. Her waist was wrapped with animal skin.
His expression was somber as he reached out and gently brushed the messy hair from her forehead behind her ear.
What's happening outside?
Shu Ning didn't see Mo Li return, but instead saw Xuan Mo appear.
"It's nothing," Xuanmo said.
"Oh, I just heard someone calling Mo Li outside, was that you?"
Shu Ning thought the voice didn't sound like him.
“No,” Xuanmo replied.
"What is that?"
"Xiao Chong".
"Why didn't he come in?" Shu Ning asked curiously.
“They are sparring,” Xuanmo said calmly.
"A friendly spar?"
In an instant, Shu Ning understood.
He frowned and quickly got up.
"Don't move, just lie still," Xuanmo said worriedly.
"Xuanmo, help me up."
Seeing that Xuanmo did not move.
Shu Ning struggled to get up on her own.
Xuanmo couldn't dissuade her, so he helped her up.
She was still feeling dizzy when she stood up.
A little later, she took Xuan Lin's arm and walked out.
"Mo Li, Xiao Chong..." Shu Ning called out in a hoarse voice.
I saw two handsome men fighting at the entrance of the cave.
Shu Ning sighed and rubbed her forehead.
The two ignored him and continued fighting.
Seeing that they showed no sign of stopping, Shu Ning had a sudden inspiration.
"Xuanmo, act in a play with me."
Xuanmo: ?
Before he could react, he saw Shu Ning release his arm and faint on the ground.
"Shu Ning!" Xuan Mo called out, bending down to help her up.
Suddenly remembering what she had just said, he chuckled softly, then continued shouting loudly.
"Shu Ning, what's wrong?"
Hearing the commotion, the two frowned, stopped what they were doing, and ran over.
