Chapter 247 Don't Leave Yet
Leng Ye handed the Xuanjing to Shu Ning, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. "Take this."
"No need, give it back to him. This is my compensation for breaking the pearl," Shu Ning said.
Hearing Shu Ning's indifferent tone, Leng Ye felt a pang of heartache. He frowned slightly, and his hand, which was suspended in the air, twitched slightly.
"Give it back to him, or he'll say our Ningning stole his pearls again." Jin Tong sneered when she saw his helpless hands.
“I…” Leng Ye felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard these words.
The orcs below were confused. Hearing Jin Tong and the others mocking their lord like this, many of them felt aggrieved.
“My lord, they are all orcs from the land, what are we afraid of!” one of the orcs couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up and shouted.
Upon hearing this, the blue orc frowned and turned around to warn, "Shut up!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Yuan and the others exuded a dangerous aura and immediately picked up Shu Ning, ready to leave.
Upon seeing this, Leng Ye quickly stopped Yi Yuan, his eyes sincere as he said, "It was my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly. Give me a chance to make amends."
"No need," Yi Yuan said coldly. "Get out of the way."
"Wait!" the merman said hurriedly when he saw them about to leave.
Yi Yuan felt a little annoyed by his blocking, but still stopped.
"Give this back to him, right? I'll return it now." He held the Xuanjing Stone in his hand, looked at Shu Ning, and walked towards the blue orc who was still kneeling.
Overjoyed to have the Xuanjing Stone returned, the blue orc immediately kowtowed in Leng Ye's direction, saying, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
"If you want to thank someone, thank Ningning. It's because she's tolerant and generous and doesn't hold it against you," Leng Ye said.
Upon hearing this, the blue orc immediately kowtowed in Shu Ning's direction, "Thank you, Ning Ning, thank you, Ning Ning!"
The sea monsters were dumbfounded when they saw this scene; their leader was shamelessly kowtowing to Shu Ning.
When Yi Yuan and the others saw that the blue beastman was no longer as arrogant as before, they all looked at Shu Ning.
"Listen up, all of you."
Leng Ye looked at the sea monster below and solemnly said:
"From now on, everything in the entire East Canghai Sea, not to mention a tiny pearl, will belong to her."
"Anyone who has objections should leave Dongcanghai."
As soon as Leng Ye finished speaking, the orcs below all showed shocked expressions.
They couldn't believe that their high and mighty lord had made such an astonishing promise to a female wolf in just one day.
The blue orc also felt something was amiss.
If Ningning is important to him, then what about the one in the Dragon Ball Throne?
He looked up and was surprised to find that the dragon pearl beside the throne was no longer there.
In that instant, he realized that Ningning was the female he had been guarding all along.
No wonder the Lord protects this Ningning so much.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen.
He just made things so difficult for her, and even scolded her in public...
His hands were trembling slightly, and he quickly kowtowed towards Leng Ye and Shu Ning, hoping to lessen his sins.
"What the Lord says is true, it's all Ningning's, it's all Ningning's..."
Upon witnessing this scene and hearing their lord's words, the other sea beasts all knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Shu Ning, just like the blue beastman.
In an instant, only Leng Ye, Shu Ning, and their beastmen remained standing in the main hall.
“You,” Leng Ye said, looking at the blue orc.
The blue orc, who was still kowtowing, stopped and looked up at him after hearing his lord call his name.
"My lord." He swallowed hard, waiting for him to speak.
“Starting today, you are demoted, and he will take your place tomorrow,” he said, pointing to the sea monster closest to him.
Hearing this, the blue orc breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed again: "Thank you, my lord!"
"Thank you for your appreciation, my lord!" the orc said quickly upon hearing this.
"Hmm." Leng Ye didn't even glance at them. He walked up to Yi Yuan and looked at Shu Ning in his arms.
"How was the outcome?" he asked Shu Ning, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Is it alright?"
Shu Ning looked at his expectant gaze and patted Yi Yuan on the shoulder.
After Yiyuan put her down, she nodded and said, "Mm."
"But isn't demoting him a bit too much?"
“Not at all, not at all!” the blue orc exclaimed upon hearing this. “This is already the greatest favor the Lord has bestowed upon me.”
"Alright then," Shu Ning said.
"Thank you, Ningning! Thank you, Master!" the blue beastman said.
Seeing that Shu Ning had no objections, Leng Ye was overjoyed. "Then Ning Ning..."
He looked at Shu Ning and said, "Don't rush off like this. It's already dark outside, and it's not safe."
"Let's wait until Ningning has recovered before we leave. This place has a dragon vein, and there's so much delicious food and fun things to do."
"By the way, Ningning likes pearls, right? I'll have them send all the pearls to your bedroom later."
"Hey, no!" Shu Ning quickly stopped her, thinking of the brightly lit scene.
"So you're willing to stay?" he said, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Shu Ning looked outside. It was already dark when she went out with Xiao Chong, and they would probably have to fumble their way back in the dark.
"Mmm," she replied.
"Okay, okay," Leng Ye said excitedly after hearing that Shu Ning had agreed to stay.
Looking back, the orcs below were still kneeling.
"What are you all standing there for? Get out of here!" he said, waving his hand.
The sea creatures were about to get up when they heard this.
"you……"
Upon hearing their lord speak, the beastmen all knelt back down.
"Pass this down: if anyone dares to bully my Ningning again, I'll kill them!"
"Yes!" the sea creatures replied immediately upon hearing this.
"Go back, everyone," Leng Ye said again.
“Yes…” The sea creatures looked at each other, and only after confirming that they could get up did they stand up and quickly leave the palace.
"You stay here," Leng Ye said, pointing at the wounded orc.
"My...My Lord." After the orc came over, he huddled up and looked up timidly at the merman.
"This is the medicine packet Ningning gave me," he said, his voice trembling slightly as he took the packet from his waist.
"Hmm," Leng Ye replied, "I didn't ask you to take this."
“Then…” The injured orc did not understand what he wanted. When he glanced at Shu Ning, he quickly knelt down.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gotten angry with you over a pearl. Please forgive me!"
"It's...it's okay," Shu Ning said upon seeing this.
Seeing the injured orc in such a state, Leng Ye said, "Although Ningning has forgiven you, punishment still cannot be avoided."
"Starting tomorrow, you'll be punished by going out hunting with them. Do you have any objections?"
Hearing this, the orcs, who had already accepted being thrown into the cage to be fed to the sharks, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Ningning!"
