Chapter 278 He Woke Up
Judging from the scene, the snake general in the audience might be Shu Ning's beast husband.
His tense expression relaxed a little.
But the next second, realizing something, the snake-kin beastmen secretly observed their leader's reaction.
Wary, scrutinizing, displeased, intensely possessive?
It seems there isn't any.
Knowing that a powerful rival was approaching and that the entire snake clan was instinctively tense, the male on the stage, as the leader, instead displayed an indifferent expression.
They were even calmly grilling meat!
The serpent beasts were surprised by their leader's reaction, which was completely contrary to his personality.
Perhaps it's just the calm before the storm?
"Go and get them seats."
Han She turned his head and gave instructions to the servant beside him with a lazy and indifferent air.
When I looked up, I noticed the stunned looks on the other snake-beastmen's faces.
"What are you all standing there for? Keep going!"
Hearing Han She's reminder, the snake beasts reluctantly sat down.
"And don't forget the tiger-like beasts outside," Han She instructed the servant on the other side.
"Yes," the attendant replied and left.
"Han She, you're really not being fair. You didn't even invite us to such a big event."
After Yan carried Shu Ning to a seat, he said.
"oh?"
Han She's snake eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was low, carrying a hint of cold laughter.
"I thought the Crimson Flame Tiger Clan had a keen sense of smell and should be able to smell the aroma of a banquet from a thousand miles away, so they would usually come uninvited. But today they're suddenly being so polite?"
Yan stopped looking at Han She altogether, as if he were just a source of noise.
He then looked at Shu Ning in his arms, his tone filled with grievance and dissatisfaction:
"Ningning, listen to this."
We rushed here anxiously, fearing that you might be in any discomfort.
In some people's eyes, it became a case of uninvited arrival and lack of manners.
Is this the way the Serpent Clan treats its guests?
"guest?"
A cold glint flashed in Han She's serpentine eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled into an even deeper smile:
"Brother Yan, you flatter me."
"Since we're brothers, why the talk of 'guest'? Could it be... that Brother Yan has never considered himself part of this family?"
Han She's tone was languid, with a hint of sarcasm: "Besides, with me by Ningning's side, how could Ningning feel unwell? Brother Yan, are you overthinking it, or... do you not trust my abilities?"
"Your abilities?" Nightmare scoffed. "I think they're not even as good as..."
"Oh, I'm so hungry."
Shu Ning interrupted their conversation and looked at the meat skewers in Yan's hand that hadn't been grilled yet.
Han She had already finished baking the food in his hands. He looked up at Shu Ning and gestured to her with his eyes.
Shu Ning immediately struggled to get up, "Nightmare, you can roast it slowly first."
"Why?"
The female in his arms ran away just like that, and Yan's teasing mood vanished as well.
Looking at Shu Ning's understanding expression, Yan chuckled helplessly.
His Ningning really knows how to save face for him.
"Xuanmo, what's wrong with you, kid?" Yan turned to look at Xuanmo beside him.
"You beat her up and then took Ningning away, leaving me behind. Doesn't that hurt you?"
He then gave Xuanmo a wronged and heartbroken look.
Xuanmo: ...
Xuanmo originally intended to hand the meat in his hand to Shu Ning, but when he looked up, he saw her get up and run back to Han She's side.
His eyes flickered, and he ate it himself.
After swallowing, he spoke calmly, "I've sent someone to inform you."
"That's not enough. You should have invited me to come along, right, Yiyuan?"
Yi Yuan was not intimidated by the implied meaning in his words. He said calmly, "I didn't know you were near the Merfolk territory. If I had known, I would have definitely invited you to come with me when I went back."
"Hmm, that's more like the demeanor a leader should have," Nightmare said with satisfaction.
"But what's going on with you all? Why are you all clustered together as merfolk?"
"We were merely invited to the wedding of the Holy Queen of the Merfolk," explained Mo Li from the side.
"When we arrived, we discovered that the Holy Queen of the Merfolk had married Jin Tong."
"Ember Eye? How is that possible!?"
Yan frowned slightly, his face suddenly darkening, and his earlier teasing intention vanished without a trace.
On second thought, given that foxes are known for their cunning, it seemed reasonable.
His expression at that moment was one of utter disgust.
He had lost interest in Jin Tong and instead looked up at the female on the stage.
It's hard to imagine how much pain Ningning must have felt when he was being affectionate with another woman on stage.
He's the male that Ningning likes the most!
Nightmare clenched his fist, and the meat skewer in his hand snapped with a crack from the force of his grip.
"What about that stinky fox? Was it buried?"
"Not yet, but she's already fainted," Mo Li added.
"Ha! You do have a good sense of self-awareness!" Yan said coldly with disdain.
Viper Tribe.
"He seems to have woken up."
The viper beastman guarding the entrance to the male snow fox's den whispered to another beastman.
Another orc turned to look into the cave.
The snow fox beast was still lying there, but its facial features were distorted, its brows were tightly furrowed, and beads of sweat kept appearing on its forehead, rolling down into its snow-white hair.
It was as if it were having a nightmare, emitting a painful groan.
Sometimes it rolls over, sometimes it kicks the bed.
The serpent beast turned around, its eyes darting around, and concluded: "Not awake."
"The chief is not in the tribe right now. Our job is to keep an eye on him, and we don't need to worry about anything else."
“But he looks like he’s in quite a bit of pain,” said another serpent beast.
"It's probably just a nightmare, don't worry about it."
"oh……"
The orc looked into the cave; his blanket had fallen to the ground. He sighed.
Go in, squat down, pick it up, and cover it for him.
Suddenly, the orc lying on the bed grabbed his hand.
"ah!"
Another orc guarding the door heard the shouts and cautiously ran inside.
He asked with a serious expression, "What's wrong?"
“He, he…” the orc whose hand was being grabbed stammered.
The orc who ran in shifted his gaze and saw that the other was still lying with his eyes closed, but his hand was tightly gripping the orc's wrist.
"How can he be so strong!"
The orc tried to break free.
The orcs nearby also went over to help pull them apart.
"No...no!"
Sensing something, the Snow Fox Beast shouted loudly.
The more they tried to pull him away, the tighter he gripped the reins.
His forehead veins bulged as he fought against the two beasts.
He just didn't wake up.
"Got it!"
The helping beast suddenly remembered what their leader had taught him—
If someone with great strength suddenly grabs your wrist and you can't pull it off no matter what you do, you can easily break free from their grasp with just a little skill.
He aimed at a finger on the snow fox's tightly clenched wrist.
The little finger has the least strength, so that's it. Try to bend it...
Sure enough, all the other fingers on his hand came loose!
The orcs, now free, breathed a sigh of relief.
"His strength is incredible."
He dared not approach him again. At this moment, the orc lying on the bed seemed to have lost something, and a tear suddenly rolled down his cheek.
