Chapter 240 Taking a Walk
"At that time..." The merman was about to explain when he was interrupted by someone.
"Is it good?" Han She asked Shu Ning in a low voice.
"Mmm..." Shu Ning chewed and looked up at him, saying, "Delicious!"
Hearing Shu Ning's answer, Han She raised the corners of her lips and continued to pry open the seashell in front of her.
The merman wanted to explain, but Han interrupted him. Watching Shu Ning interact with Han She and the others, a complex look flashed in his eyes, followed by a self-deprecating sneer.
Looking at Shu Ning happily enjoying the delicious food he had carefully prepared for her, he felt a sense of relief.
"Ningning." Mo Li stood up and handed a plate of peeled shrimp to Shu Ning.
"It tastes better dipped in this." He squatted down, picked up a shrimp, dipped it in the crab meat next to it, and explained to her gently and patiently.
"What is this?" Shu Ning asked, looking at the food placed next to the shrimp.
"The dipping sauce," Mo Li said gently, "I just made it. Its main ingredient is crab roe, and I also added salt."
Knowing that she liked to add salt to her food, I started carrying salt with me whenever I went out.
"It's a way of eating from our Ximing Sea region. I've wanted to make it for you to try for a while, but so many things happened, and I never had the chance..."
As he spoke, his golden eyes dimmed.
"It's alright," Shu Ning comforted him. "Haven't I tasted it now?"
She picked up a peeled shrimp, dipped it in the sauce beside it, and tasted it carefully.
"It's actually quite delicious." She looked at him with surprise as she ate, "I've never had seafood paired like this before."
"Heh..." Seeing that she was eating happily, Mo Li was also very satisfied. "Eat more if you like it. This plate is all yours."
"Mm." Shu Ning said, picking up a shrimp dipped in sauce and handing it to him, "You have some too."
"Okay." Mo Li smiled and took the shrimp that she was offered.
"Hey, big brother..."
At that moment, a voice came from outside the hall.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall looked up and saw a male walking unsteadily into the room.
"Didn't we agree that she would give me the antidote once she woke up?" He searched for Han She's figure in the hall, sulking as he spoke.
He wouldn't have been able to get here on his own, but the spirit vein beast gave him a ride before returning.
"No rush." Han She's originally gentle eyes suddenly turned cold as she casually said.
"No, how could you do this?" Yan Ling said in disbelief. "You are, after all, a tribal chief. How can you go back on your word?"
"Who told you to lie to us?" Jin Tong said, pursing her lips.
"I..." He was speechless for a moment, then said helplessly, "Didn't I get punished too?"
Seeing that Han She ignored him, he continued to walk to Shu Ning's side, "Shu Ning, talk to him and ask him to help me get rid of the poison."
Shu Ning, who was eating, looked up at him and asked, "Why did he poison you?"
"I..." Yan Ling said embarrassedly, "Because I lied to you."
"You not only lied to us, but you almost harmed Ningning," Jin Tong said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I apologize for my behavior," Yan Ling pleaded with them.
“It’s all his fault,” he said, pointing to the merman sitting on top. “It was all his idea.”
"I'm just a victim, please, stop torturing me," he said, looking at Han She one last time.
Han She ignored him and turned to Shu Ning, "Ningning, do you think I should give him an antidote?"
"Hmm..." Shu Ning glanced at Yan Ling, then looked at Han She, "You can decide for yourself."
"Mmm," Han She replied, taking a bite of meat and chewing it slowly.
Then she tossed him something and said, "Eat this."
Seeing this, Yan Ling quickly caught what he threw at her and swallowed the meatball in one gulp.
A moment later, he felt the changes in his body. His body, which had been weak and listless, quickly broke out in a sweat and then felt full of energy.
He looked at Han She excitedly: "Hehe, I'm all better now, thank you for sparing my life, big brother!"
Seeing Yan Ling regain her strength, Yi Yuan looked at Han She and frowned, "Didn't you say before..."
"This is a new method I've been researching," Han She explained, her tone unfriendly.
"Heh." Yi Yuan snorted coldly. He didn't believe that he could develop a new treatment method in just a few months.
Han She ignored them and continued eating.
"Mmm, it's delicious!" After recovering, Yan Ling found a seat, picked up the food on the table, and started eating. "I didn't expect you, Leng Ye, to be so generous today."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the merman, only to see that he seemed distracted. He asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that he didn't answer, he continued:
"I've had the worst day yet. I'm not even angry, but you look like you're about to die. Who bullied you?"
"It's nothing," he said.
"Is that the person you knew before?" Yan Ling asked tentatively.
"Yes," the merman said.
"That's good." Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief. "Then why are you still so gloomy?"
Looking in Shu Ning's direction, he seemed to understand something.
"Didn't she recognize you?" he asked.
The merman smiled helplessly and shook his head.
“Huh? This…this shouldn’t be happening,” he said. “Logically, she should have regained her memories.”
"Oh! I know, it must be something that happened between you two in the past. So much time has passed that she can't remember it."
The merman lowered his eyes as he listened to Yan Ling's words and said in a low voice, "Perhaps."
"Oh, it's okay. Talk to her more, reminisce about the past, and maybe she'll remember you," Yan Ling comforted him.
"Besides, she has just regained her memory, and so many things have happened to the wolf clan recently, so it's normal that she can't remember for a while."
Hearing Yan Ling's last words, the merman felt even more depressed.
"Don't be sad, you can start over," Yan Ling comforted her.
"Hmm." The merman raised the corners of his mouth, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "You're right."
“That’s more like it,” Yan Ling said.
Upon seeing Xiao Chong and Shu Ning get up and leave, the merman immediately got up and chased after them.
“Wait,” he said as he caught up with them.
Xiao Chong frowned, but stopped and turned to look at him.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Go for a walk, is there something you need?" Xiao Chong asked coldly.
“There are many ferocious beasts around here, and you must not be familiar with this place. It will be better if I lead the way,” he said with expectant eyes.
Xiao Chong ignored him and continued walking out.
Seeing Xiao Chong leave, the merman chased after him, calling out, "Hey, wait for me!"
"Shameless," Jin Tong muttered after seeing it.
“Mm,” Nightmare replied.
Mo Li glanced at the two of them, who had just been at odds with each other but were now at peace with each other again, and he slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
“You don’t understand.” Yan Ling said while eating, hearing Jin Tong’s sarcasm, “They’ve known each other for much longer than you have.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Tong suddenly became interested, "Tell me quickly, how did they meet?"
