Chapter 253 The Silly Fox
After stabilizing the group, Mo Li and Yan transformed back into human form.
"Jintong, what's wrong with you?" Yiyuan asked Jintong with a stern face.
"Didn't you just hear that?" Jin Tong said, panting heavily, "Xuan Lin, he..."
"alright."
At this moment, Mo Li interrupted him, "Xuan Lin didn't say anything just now, you were too impulsive."
“He didn’t say anything, but he supported Mu Yu’s control over the Jackal Clan!” Jin Tong said.
Yi Yuan listened to their conversation and guessed the gist of it. He comforted him, saying, "This was the Holy Mother's decision. It has nothing to do with him."
"But……"
"There are no 'buts'. If you have any objections, go find the Holy Mother. Don't take any more action," Yi Yuan interrupted Jin Tong.
“Yiyuan is right, don’t be suspicious of your own people,” Mo Li said.
"Hmph." Jin Tong sneered disdainfully at them for all standing on Xuan Lin's side.
"Alright, that's enough about this. Don't mention it again." Yi Yuan said, walking up to Leng Ye and the others. "You've made a fool of yourselves."
"It's nothing," Leng Ye said.
“It’s getting dark now, everyone come inside with me,” Xiao Chong said as he walked up to Leng Ye.
“Alright, let’s take a look at the wolf clan.” Leng Ye said, giving instructions to the general beside him before going inside with Xiao Chong and the others.
Afterwards, the group entered the wolf pack area, while the accompanying party stayed near a nearby river.
As they entered the wolf tribe, they could still see traces of the great fire and the bear tribe's invasion along the way.
Remaining black charcoal, trees burned down to bare branches, and bits of grass...
“Ever since the wolf clan experienced that great fire, this is the state it has become. Please excuse the poor state of affairs,” Xiao Chong said.
Seeing all this, Leng Ye frowned slightly. "You must have felt very helpless back then."
"It's alright," Han She said. "After the fire that night drew away the orcs on night duty, the bear tribe invaded again, but we survived."
"Of course, Ningning is also great. She is fearless in the face of enemies and has killed quite a few orcs. She is in no way inferior to other males." He added, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.
Leng Ye was surprised that Shu Ning had also joined the fight, and despite knowing that the wolf clan was in dire straits, he hadn't offered any help...
He looked at Shu Ning beside him, his eyes filled with guilt, and said, "Ningning, I'm sorry, I..."
"You don't need to apologize, this is a matter for our wolf clan," Shu Ning comforted her.
"Yes, Ningning is right, this is our own business." Xuanmo's eyes flashed with a light after hearing this, and he patted her head as he spoke.
Hearing this, Leng Ye felt even more distressed. Looking at their happy family, he felt an indescribable envy.
After returning to the wolf clan, they were treated to a hearty meal by Mu Xia and then went back to rest.
"Mo Li, I'll stay with you tonight."
Looking at the full moon in the sky, Shu Ning wondered if Mo Li, now transformed into a dragon, would still be affected by the habits of the dragon race, but she still brought it up herself.
"Great, Ningning, it's been so long since we've been together." Mo Li smiled with satisfaction after hearing Shu Ning's initiative.
He knew she was still the same person she always was.
"Ningning..." Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Jin Tong grabbed Shu Ning's hand, his eyes filled with reluctance, and said, "Is it because of what happened just now? Everyone is talking about me, even you are going to dislike me too?"
Shu Ning placed her other hand on the back of his hand and smiled comfortingly, "Jin Tong, of course not, how could I possibly dislike you?"
Looking into his pitiful eyes, she gently patted his head. "Don't think about it so much, okay?"
“Hmm…” Jin Tong nodded and looked at her in response.
"Alright, let's go and rest now. You should rest early too." She patted his head again, then let go of his hand that was holding hers.
Then she ran to Mo Li, who was waiting for her.
“Okay,” Jin Tong replied, watching Shu Ning and Mo Li’s departing figures. Although she had comforted him, he was still sad.
Its fluffy tail also hung down.
"Stop looking, come over and eat some more." Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Yan pulled him back to the fire.
"You have the nerve to talk back to me? Why didn't you stop me earlier? I think you did it on purpose." Jin Tong said disdainfully after sitting down.
"I did it on purpose," Yan said, grilling a skewer of meat. Seeing that he was still sullen, she said, "Alright, have some fruit to cheer yourself up."
Jin Tong took a bite, her face scrunching up. "Sour!?"
“Yes, I know, that was the look on your face just now,” Nightmare said.
"I'm not eating it, you can eat it yourself," he said, tossing the fruit back to him.
"Hey, don't waste food. It's getting harder to find food these days. Cherish this meal while you can. There will be even less food in winter." Nightmare said, taking back the fruit he had thrown away.
"Alright, alright, I know. I've been finding my own food all these years, how could I not know that?" Jin Tong said.
“Oh my, Jin Tong is so powerful. You are, after all, the son of the former chief of the Fox Clan. How come you have to go out and find food on your own?” Yi Yuan said.
"Tch, so what if he's the chieftain's son? He used to have food provided by the fox clan, but I know I have to grow up eventually and can't rely on my people forever."
"So, since I came here, I've basically been hunting all by myself, even though the wolf clan provides food for us foreign beastmen who came here for marriage alliances."
"Hmm, not bad," Nightmare praised. "Here, this skewer is ready, here you go."
"Thanks, but what do you think about the Holy Mother handing the Jackal Clan over to Mu Yu? Aren't you really worried that she might pose a threat to Ning Ning?" Jin Tong said, taking the roasted meat.
"Don't worry, since the Holy Mother has already handed over the management of the Jackal Clan to her, the Wolf Clan will not be handed over to her either," Yi Yuan said.
"Why?" Jin Tong asked, looking at him. "How can you be so sure?"
"What a stupid fox!" Xuan Lin retorted after hearing this.
"You...!" Upon hearing this, Jin Tong glared angrily at Xuan Lin, "You know that? Then tell me."
"I can't reason with you."
“Two tigers cannot share one mountain,” Nightmare said. “Regardless of whether the Holy Queen ever intended to hand over the wolf clan to her, given the consequences her jackal and black bear beast husbands brought to the wolf clan, it’s practically impossible for her to stay in the wolf clan any longer.”
"So, this is her backup plan for Mu Yumou..." Jin Tong said, chewing on the roasted meat, suddenly realizing.
"Hmm, not too stupid." Yan patted his head and praised him.
“Tsk,” Jin Tong frowned, dodging the question, “Right now, I can only rub my head.”
"Stingy!" Nightmare said, withdrawing his hand from the air.
"You say I'm stingy? Then do you allow others to touch you?" Jin Tong pouted.
“No,” Nightmare said.
"cut."
