Chapter 260 The Orc Was Caught
Thinking about how Leng Ye had sent someone to summon Yan Ling earlier, and how he had a way to restore the orc's memory, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Looking at this beast world and recalling his childhood memories, apart from the fighting between a few tribes, he seemed to have been largely unaffected.
Could it be that someone is supervising and managing this place?
If that's true, then why didn't anyone intervene when the wolf clan and the dragon clan were ambushed?
Perhaps that manager thought this would maintain the law of the jungle.
What are you thinking about?
Xuanmo cut a piece of roasted meat and placed it on the large leaf in front of Shu Ning. Seeing that she wasn't in a daze, he reminded her.
"nothing……"
"Thank you." Shu Ning looked at the sizzling grilled meat in front of her. She hadn't expected them to finish grilling it so quickly.
She looked at Huang Ying with slight surprise, "I didn't expect your men to be ready so quickly."
Hearing this, Huang Ying, who had been feeling a little sad watching her interaction with Xuan Mo, felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Seeing that she finally took the initiative to talk to him, he felt an indescribable joy and his tail swayed unconsciously behind him.
"There's plenty of food in the tribe, so it's not difficult to prepare." He glanced at her, noticing she hadn't started eating. "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"
Shu Ning was just about to start eating.
At this moment, Mo Li walked over, sprinkled seasoning salt and Sichuan peppercorn powder on the pile of meat in front of her, and then stirred it.
"Eat." Mo Li looked up and smiled at Shu Ning, then glanced at Xuan Mo beside her, her eyebrows raised, and a look flashed in her eyes that was the same as his just now.
Shu Ning stared at this scene, somewhat stunned, even though she hadn't started eating yet.
"Thank you," Shu Ning said gratefully.
Seeing Mo Li's actions, Huang Ying's eyes flashed with a complex emotion that was hard to detect, but he quickly recovered. "Your beast husband is really considerate and thoughtful."
“Yes, Mo Li has always been like this.” Shu Ning looked at Mo Li, eating grilled meat, and gave him an approving look.
"This is one of the essential conditions for being a beastman." Mo Li replied to Huang Ying on the surface, but looked at Xuan Mo opposite her.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Xuanmo's eyes, and the knuckles of his fingers gripping the bone knife turned slightly white as he casually stuffed a mouthful of meat into his mouth.
But when he looked at Shu Ning beside him and saw her eating happily, his gaze quickly softened.
Leng Ye, who had been silently observing the two beastmen from the side, felt a pang of sadness in his heart and couldn't help but ask Mo Li, "Then... is there anything else?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shu Ning across from him, her ears turning red. "What other conditions are needed for a qualified beast husband?"
"besides……"
Mo Li, feigning composure, looked around and saw Xuan Mo opposite her, who was preparing to use his bone knife to skewer a piece of meat and feed it to Shu Ning.
He parted his thin lips slightly, his voice warm and gentle, and said, word by word, "Understand, measure, and proportion."
Leng Ye silently memorized those words, his ears drooping slightly, his voice low and deep, "Hmm..."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo let out a soft snort, his broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted figure shifting slightly as he moved closer to Shu Ning, a barely perceptible dark glint flashing in his eyes.
“That’s right,” Xuan Mo said, putting his arm around Shu Ning in front of the three of them, as if to assert his ownership. “When two people first get together, they need to have some sense of boundaries.”
As he spoke, he looked down at Shu Ning and said, "It's just that Ningning and I are an old married couple, unlike some people who need to care about these details."
He then tightened his grip on her waist, leaned closer to her, and said in a seductive, magnetic voice, "Right, Ningning?"
This was the first time Shu Ning had ever seen Xuan Mo like this, and she looked up at him in surprise.
Is this still the Xuan Mo she knows...?
The moment I looked up, as my gaze moved upward, besides feeling his firm chest, I happened to meet his handsome face with its deep and delicate features.
"Yes...right?" At this moment, Shu Ning felt her face burning and swallowed hard.
This Xuanmo… she remembered that he usually only “behaved” like this when the two of them were alone, and only at night.
What's wrong with me today?
Then he quickly picked up a piece of fruit from the side and took a bite to cool down.
Xuanmo looked at the female in his arms, smiled with satisfaction, released her, and sat back in his original position.
His every move was observed by the other three.
At this moment, Mo Li's expression remained calm and aloof, but she was somewhat displeased and snorted softly, "How impatient."
Seeing Xuan Mo and Shu Ning's interaction, Leng Ye felt a pang of sadness. His knuckles turned white from gripping the bone knife too tightly, and he remained silent for a long time before finding his voice.
"...You two have such a good relationship."
Huang Ying casually popped a mouthful of food into her mouth, "Yeah, it's really enviable..."
But in his mind, he was already planning how to spend time alone with her.
Just then, the orc outside returned and reported: "Chief, we have captured the orc at the entrance, and he is now locked up in the cave prison."
Huang Ying put down the bone knife in her hand, her expression returning to its usual calm. "Understood."
She looked up at Shu Ning, as if seeking her opinion: "Should we go take a look?"
“Sure,” Shu Ning said, preparing to put down the fruit she was holding.
"Let's see tomorrow," Mo Li and Shu Ning said almost simultaneously.
Upon hearing Shu Ning's voice, she immediately changed her mind and said, "No rush... let's eat first."
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Shu Ning glanced around at the others. Apart from Huang Ying and Mo Li, everyone else was still eating.
"Then... I'll go later." She was about to get up, but then sat back down.
Seeing that she was sitting still and had stopped eating, Huang Ying asked, "Have you eaten enough?"
“Mm,” Shu Ning replied.
At this moment, Huang Ying glanced at the others who were eating, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. Her fingertips curled up and then opened again. "Should we go and take a look first?"
Shu Ning glanced at Xuan Mo and Mo Li beside her, and finally looked at Huang Ying and said, "Let's wait a bit."
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Xuanmo's eyes. He then extended a clean fur pelt to Shu Ning, wiping her mouth before wiping his own.
“Alright, let’s go.” Xuan Mo stood up and extended his hand to Shu Ning.
Shu Ning looked at Mo Li, who was eating leisurely across from her, and was about to speak when she heard Xuan Mo speak again.
“If someone eats slowly, we won’t wait,” Xuanmo said.
At this moment, Huang Ying also got up and came over, "Let's go, before it gets too dark."
“Well…” She looked at Mo Li, who wasn’t looking at him, and stood up, saying, “Then Mo Li, let’s go take a look first. Don’t rush, eat slowly.”
"Okay." Mo Li looked up at her, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Go ahead."
Then she turned to Xuanmo and instructed him, "Take good care of her."
"Don't worry." Xuanmo said, taking Shu Ning's hand and going out with Huang Ying.
