Chapter 224 Returning to the Wolf Clan
"Forgot..."
Xuan Lin's words caught in his throat, and a hint of pain flashed in his silver eyes.
After a moment, he sighed.
At this moment, Yan said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just the days when they looked down on me. There's nothing to reminisce about." He secretly felt smug after saying that.
As soon as Yan finished speaking, the other beastmen, except for Xiao Chong, wanted to refute but had no reason to.
They knew that what Yan said was true, and their eyes dimmed quietly.
"Yeah, Ningning, if you've forgotten, you've forgotten. It's not a big deal," Xiao Chong comforted her.
Shu Ning looked at Xiao Chong, then at the others with their eyes lowered, and replied, "Mm."
"Ningning, rest for a bit after you finish eating. We'll head back in a bit." Xiao Chong said, getting up. "I have something to do. I'll come find you later."
"Okay." Shu Ning watched Xiao Chong leave.
"I need to ask Ming Yu about this," Xiao Chong said to the others.
“Yes,” Xuan Lin replied, “We should be more cautious.”
“I’m going too,” Jin Tong said, following Xiao Chong.
Shu Ning turned to look at the others, her gaze finally settling on Mo Li. "Mo... Li, what's wrong?"
"Ningning, um..." Mo Li frowned slightly, hesitatingly.
"It's nothing really," Nightmare said. "It's just... I want to take you on an adventure in the mysterious Eastern Sea."
"The mysterious East?" Shu Ning looked at Yan curiously, scratching her head.
“Mm,” Mo Li replied.
"I heard that's the birthplace of the dragon race, with all sorts of things like spiritual veins, delicious seafood, and beautiful pearls," Nightmare said with a serious expression.
As Shu Ning heard the Nightmare's description, she became even more interested in the mysterious Eastern Sea.
"Really?" she said, her eyes shining with anticipation.
“Of course, there are also many handsome males!” Nightmare said.
The other two men looked at Yan with disdain upon hearing this.
Feeling the "friendly" gazes of the two males beside him, Yan laughed awkwardly, "Haha, just kidding."
Underworld Cave -
"I never expected that there would be survivors among the zombie dragons..." Ming Yu said thoughtfully.
"Yes, Lord of the Domain, do you think what that Yan something-ling said is credible?" Jin Tong asked.
“Hmm…” Ming Yu frowned and thought for a moment, “Perhaps we can give it a try.”
“But that place has long been abandoned and is teeming with ferocious beasts. Are you sure you want to take Ningning there?” Ming Yu said.
"Hmm," Xiao Chong replied without hesitation.
"Alright, then you must protect her at all times." Ming Yu did not stop him, but instructed, "Also, be careful of your own safety."
"Domain Lord, rest assured, as long as I'm here, I won't let Ningning suffer any harm," Jin Tong said.
"Okay, we'll head back now," Xiao Chong said.
"Wait," Ming Yu called out to the two people who were about to turn around, "I have something for you."
"What?" Xiao Chong stopped in his tracks.
"Wait for me." He then went into the cave, took out a leather bag, and gave it to Xiao Chong. "Take this with you when you go."
Then she leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
"Lord of the Domain, you're being unfair! How come I didn't get anything?" Jin Tong said after seeing that only Xiao Chong was given the prize, and not him.
"Um..." Ming Yu said awkwardly, "This won't work for you."
"Fine," Jin Tong said, pouting.
A moment later, they returned to Shu Ning's cave.
Shu Ning had already packed her things and was sitting at the cave entrance waiting for Xiao Chong and the others, with two other beastmen standing beside her.
The moment she saw Xiao Chong, she smiled and called out, "Xiao Chong!"
When Jin Tong saw that Shu Ning only called out to Xiao Chong and not him, his fox ears immediately drooped.
Thinking about her amnesia and how she had just called him by the wrong name, he felt a little better.
"Ningning, you've finished getting ready so quickly." He smiled at Shu Ning.
"Mm." Shu Ning met their gaze.
Jin Tong walked to her side. "Ning Ning, let me carry you back this time," he said sincerely.
Shu Ning looked at him, then at Xiao Chong.
“Xiao Chong carried you here, so let him have an easier time going back,” Jin Tong said.
Seeing Shu Ning hesitate, Mo Li said, "Ning Ning, I can carry you on my back too."
Shu Ning thought for a moment, then looked at Jin Tong and said, "Okay."
Upon hearing that Shu Ning had agreed, Jin Tong excitedly transformed into his original form and carried Shu Ning on his back.
Before Shu Ning could react, she was already on Jin Tong. She instinctively grabbed his fox fur, and Jin Tong trembled as Shu Ning grabbed him.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Shu Ning quickly said after noticing.
"It's alright," Jin Tong said with relief.
And so, the group began their journey back to the wolf clan.
Wolf Clan —
After sending his beastmen back, Yi Yuan and the other two led Yan Ling and Mu Chen back to the wolf clan.
"So this is the wolf pack!" Yan Ling said, looking at the wolves before him. "Just like I imagined!"
"Um, where do I live?" Yan Ling asked Xuan Mo after they returned to the wolf clan.
Xuanmo ignored him.
Seeing that Xuanmo ignored him, he walked over to Han She's side.
When Han She saw him approach, she immediately showed a look of disgust and disdain.
Seeing this, Yan Ling tactfully stepped aside and walked to Yi Yuan's side. "Hey, brother, I can tell you're a really nice guy. How about you arrange a place for me to stay?"
“Yes,” Yi Yuan replied, “We just happen to have a cave here…”
"That's great!" Before Yi Yuan could finish speaking, Yan Ling asked excitedly, "Where is it? Can someone take me there?"
"It's a place specifically for detaining criminals who have committed crimes, right there...." Yi Yuan said, pointing towards the prison.
As soon as Yi Yuan finished speaking, the two people next to him scoffed.
"Um...heh, let's forget it. I'd rather sleep in a tree than stay in a place like that," Yan Ling said dejectedly.
"It's already good enough that they've given you a place to stay," Han She said.
"But...but it can't be a place like that," Yan Ling said. "How about two of you stay together and make room for me in a cave?"
"Dream on!" the three said in unison.
"Come with me to find the Holy Mother first and explain what you've done. We'll talk about accommodations later," Yi Yuan said.
“Alright…” Yan Ling said.
Muxia Cave Mansion —
"Are you telling the truth?" Mu Xia asked incredulously as she stood up after hearing this.
"It's absolutely true, Holy Lady, I was really forced into this by Mu Chen," Yan Ling cried out.
“I didn’t ask you that,” Mu Xia said.
"Oh," Yan Ling replied.
"That Mu Chen is too despicable! How dare he do such a thing to my Ningning!" Shu Yanzhao, sitting next to Mu Xia, said angrily.
Then, looking at Yan Ling, she said, "Luckily, your secret technique isn't good enough, otherwise my Ningning would have been in trouble. I'm so angry!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Ling frowned and said with an awkward laugh, "It's not that my secret techniques are lacking..."
