Chapter 276 The Serpent Tribe's Carnival Night
The Serpent Tribe.
Just as he promised—
Hundreds of bonfires were lit for her, the flames soaring into the sky and illuminating the valley.
Even in the valley shrouded in mist where Shu Ning last appeared, animal skin lanterns hung from black branches, and bonfires stretched out like dragons.
The village, with its campfires everywhere, creates a spectacular interplay of light and shadow with the setting sun, a sight both beautiful and mysterious.
This was the first time Shu Ning had seen his tribe clearly.
She gazed at this magnificent world that he had single-handedly created.
Dusk and firelight intertwined behind him, the flames casting a golden glow on his dark hair.
At that moment, she felt as if she were witnessing him alone cutting through thorns and traversing the path of endless suffering.
Her hand rested on his shoulder, and the touch of her fingertips could almost feel the many wounds he had endured along the way.
She seemed to have never done anything for him, and even the only thing she did seemed to be just to complete some task.
He didn't seem to stand out among her other husbands, but he gave her the feeling that he would unconditionally support her no matter what she did.
Unconditional favoritism, regardless of right or wrong.
Han She slightly turned his head, his gentle gaze suddenly turning cold, and he coldly instructed his subordinate who was carrying the Holy Mother of the Merfolk on his shoulder, "Throw her into the Death Prison."
The Death Prison of the Serpent Tribe is a place where no sinful beast ever comes out alive.
"yes!"
The two orcs roughly carried the mermaid saintess, whose body was so soft and boneless, and retreated to one side after receiving orders.
Han Shesen's cold voice pulled Shu Ning back to reality.
She suddenly regretted it.
We should not agree to bring the sacred female of the Merfolk back to the Serpent Tribe.
Given Han She's methods, regardless of the outcome, that crazed female probably won't live to see tomorrow...
What are you thinking about?
Han She's deep, magnetic voice rang out from above.
A barely perceptible hint of regret flashed in his deep black eyes.
He should have been gentler just now.
Although the results are the same.
“Han She,” Shu Ning grabbed his strong shoulders, “that female…”
"Oh?" Han She raised an eyebrow, his dark vertical pupils making it difficult to discern his emotions. "What does Ningning want from her?"
"Let's wait until the matter is resolved before taking any action."
With this lead cut off, it will likely be even more difficult to investigate Jin Tong's matter.
"snort……"
Han She let out a silent hum from her chest, her lips slightly raised, and she lowered her eyes to reveal a doting smile: "Ningning is so thoughtful."
He then turned his head again and gestured to his subordinate beside him, "Did you hear that?"
"clear."
The subordinates received the order and ran back.
A short while later, Han She carried Shu Ning to a spacious cave.
A huge bonfire was burning in the center of the cave, surrounded by glowing yellow-green crystals.
As you enter the cave, you'll find other orc generals waiting on either side.
It is not entirely a snake-like beast.
"Chief, Chief's wife, please sit here."
The orc who was leading the way directed them to a large, white chair made of animal bones at the very back.
The table in front of the chair was already set with various kinds of meat, a variety of fruits, dried fruits, juices and other foods.
In the center of the table is a charcoal fire, with skewers of meat arranged around it.
Shu Ning was shocked.
They actually discovered this divine way of eating.
If you add peanuts, sweet potatoes, and a teapot, it would be the perfect setting for a hearth tea ceremony!
It's the perfect match for winter.
Shu Ning couldn't wait to get down to her seat.
Sensing the excitement of the female in his arms, Han She's lips curled into a smile.
After placing Shu Ning in her seat, he didn't bother with any pleasantries with the beastmen below.
Facing the gazes of the orcs, a clear voice rang out in the cave: "The Feast of Grace shall begin!"
Instantly, the orcs who had been sitting quietly and waiting began to get busy after receiving a symbolic ceremonial command from their leader.
The orcs were already used to their leader's way of doing things and didn't find anything strange about it.
After they got to work, the quiet cave suddenly became lively. Some were roasting meat, some were eating meat, some were wrapping the meat in tender leaves and eating it together, and some were drinking fruit juice...
The lively scene was like a completely different world compared to what had just happened.
Suddenly, the sounds of clinking cups and plates, chewing, and the uninhibited laughter of the beastmen filled the air, and the tense atmosphere from before vanished completely.
For orcs, the simplest rituals are the most in line with their character.
Shu Ning, who had initially worried that the beastmen below would focus on her and Han She's every move, now realized that she had worried too much.
They wouldn't care about these things at all.
The beastmen ate with such abandon, intently tearing at the pieces of meat in their hands, yet unable to resist glancing at the next dish of food.
The entire banquet was a scene of ravenous feasting.
At this moment, Han She took her hand and sat down in the large chair.
Han She wanted to hug her, but Shu Ning refused.
She had been carried by them to eat so many times that she knew that feeling wasn't as comfortable as eating alone.
When Han She saw her get off his lap and sit down next to him, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in the depths of his deep eyes.
Her gaze quickly returned to its gentle state.
After the attendants noticed that they were seated, they began to pour them drinks.
Seeing that some beasts were grilling meat for them, Shu Ning quickly stopped them, saying, "Oh, no need, I can do it myself."
Barbecue is one of her favorite things to do.
She enjoyed the experience of grilling and eating at the same time.
Looking at the bright red charcoal fire in front of her, Shu Ning picked up a skewer of meat and prepared to start grilling.
The orc, who was about to start roasting, paused and looked up at Han She.
Han She nodded slightly to him, and then instructed, "From now on, just do what Ningning says without asking for my permission."
"Yes." Only then did the servant put down the meat skewers in his hand.
Han She watched Shu Ning intently grilling meat, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his cold and gloomy eyes.
He then picked up a skewer and put it on the charcoal fire to start grilling.
"Han She, how did you discover this method of grilling meat? That's amazing!"
Because she hadn't even taught their tribe how to make fire.
After placing the meat skewers on the grill, Shu Ning turned around.
At this moment, Han She suddenly reached out and gently pinched her chin, causing it to lift slightly.
He then leaned down and kissed her lips.
With his other hand around her waist, he placed his large hand on her back to steady her.
Shu Ning never expected Han She to suddenly kiss her in such a situation.
Her pupils dilated in surprise.
He glanced at the beastmen below the stage out of the corner of his eye.
She was overthinking things; nobody was even looking at them.
Oh, right, her grilled meat!
Shu Ning patted him on the shoulder to signal him.
The female in his arms stirred restlessly, and Han She frowned slightly, pulling her closer with his strong arms.
Until we were skin to skin.
Han She lowered his eyes slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing as he savored her sweet taste.
The female's restless movements only fueled his desire; he longed to take her away right then and there.
But his lemon hasn't filled its stomach yet...
After a moment, he reluctantly let go.
Shu Ning could have pushed him away, but his actions told her that he needed her.
So we just let him be.
