Chapter 48 I'm the one who suffers.
"Xuanmo! You..."
Shu Ning wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat.
She couldn't understand why he was two...
Is he a mutant?
"What about me?"
After changing his clothes, Xuanmo walked over to her.
"Hmm?" He looked down at her.
Reminded by Xuanmo, Shu Ning finally came to her senses.
"Why didn't you say anything before you changed your clothes?" Shu Ning's face flushed with anger at his nonchalant attitude.
I looked up and saw him standing next to me, in just the right spot...
She quickly and awkwardly stood up.
Seeing his abnormally sickly face, and his deep black eyes meeting his gaze.
Her face was already hot, but now it turned red all the way to the back of her ears.
"Friendly reminder: Xuanmo's favorability has increased by 5 points. Xuanmo's current favorability is 30."
Shu Ning was startled by the system assistant.
She knew there would be such a notification, but it hadn't made a sound before, so she thought it was as busy as 007.
"Why are you only showing up now?" Shu Ning wondered to herself.
"Host, I'm sorry, the upgrade was in progress and has now been completed successfully."
The reason was barely acceptable, and then she remembered that her assistant had said Xuan Mo's favorability rating had increased.
What did she do to him? How did things suddenly escalate?
Shu Ning pondered with a puzzled expression.
Was it because she was being affectionate with him just now?
Hehe, Xuanmo, so you like this kind of thing...
Shu Ning had a plan for what to do next.
"I'm the one who's at a disadvantage, why are you so concerned?" Xuan Mo said casually, noticing the uncertain look on her face.
He appeared indifferent, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Upon closer contact with her, I was overwhelmed by the pungent smell of blood emanating from her, mixed with her rich feminine fragrance.
This unexpectedly reignited a strange heat within him.
He could smell it as soon as she came in, but at that moment his drowsiness outweighed everything else.
But she actually sat down on the edge of his bed and pressed her skin against his.
I originally wanted her to stay still, but she managed to hold back and get up to change her clothes after the heat in her body subsided.
But every move she made could easily ignite the heat coursing through his body.
This intoxicating fragrance gave him an urge to immediately pull her into his arms and then "devour" her completely.
But remembering how she struggled last time, he gave up.
After all, it's inconvenient for her right now.
Xuanmo turned his head away from her and walked towards the cave entrance.
"Aren't you leaving?" he reminded her.
"oh."
Shu Ning followed him out.
"Where do you want to go... for a spring outing?" he asked.
"Let's go there first, the scenery there is nice." Shu Ning pointed in a direction to him.
"Um."
The area is nestled between mountains and water, and there are plenty of wild onions and mushrooms.
On the road—
Xuanmo deliberately kept his distance from Shu Ning.
But Shu Ning insisted on getting close to him.
There was nothing he could do but let her walk alongside him.
After touching him and not hearing any notifications from the system assistant, Shu Ning decided to chat with him about something.
"Xuanmo, you've been in the wolf clan for so long, have you missed home?"
Xuanmo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "No."
Shu Ning was also very curious about Xuan Mo and his home.
Of her beast husbands, apart from Xiao Chong who was an orphan, Xuan Lin, Mo Li, and Jin Tong all had parents, while she knew nothing about Yi Yuan and Xuan Mo.
After the original owner brought the two of them to the wolf clan, she didn't care about them at all, which resulted in her knowing nothing about them.
She plans to pay more attention to them in the future.
“Xuanmo, if you miss home, you can go back and visit.”
Xuanmo looked down at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Home?
He would rather have no home.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Shu Ning worried that she had hit a nerve, otherwise why would someone not want to go home?
"It's okay. If you don't want to go back, then you can stay here from now on. This is your home."
Shu Ning recalled the time he had been taken away and interrogated by their wolf-clan beastmen, and added.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to bully you. I won't let anything happen to you because I will protect you."
Hearing her words, Xuanmo's eyes flickered slightly. He looked down at the female who had once beaten and scolded him, and whom he loathed.
Now, however, he says he's protecting him.
That really... surprised him.
He smiled slightly and reached out to pat her head.
A blush appeared on Shu Ning's face after the man touched her head.
"Friendly reminder: Xuanmo's favorability has increased by 2 points. Xuanmo's current favorability is 32."
Shu Ning was pleasantly surprised; it seemed that her suggestion had worked!
She wanted to say more, hoping to make Xuanmo's favorability towards her increase rapidly.
Although it was to increase her favorability rating, what she said was true.
"Stop thinking about that. We've arrived. What do you want to do next?" Xuanmo said.
Shu Ning looked around. There was a narrow river with crystal-clear water, and many lush green plants grew on both banks.
She went forward and searched, and sure enough, there were quite a few wild onions growing well.
"Xuanmo, come quick!" she called out, beckoning to him.
Xuanmo watched her squatting in the grass and curiously walked over.
“This grass is edible, let’s pick this today.” After saying that, she began to pull up the wild onions by the roots.
The soil here is very loose, and she can easily pull up the scallions.
He then shook off the dirt and continued picking.
When Xuanmo is sick, he will eat some wild grass, but it is used to treat illnesses, not as food.
He examined the grass that had been picked and confirmed that it did indeed have medicinal properties.
So he squatted down and pulled up scallions with her.
"With this scallion, we can fry eggs, make soup, and stir-fry meat," she said happily as she pulled it out.
As she continued pulling, Shu Ning soon discovered another edible mushroom, as recorded in the encyclopedia.
This place seems to be very rich in resources; it always brings her surprises.
Seeing that she had picked this thing as well, Xuanmo quickly grabbed her hand and threw the mushrooms in her hand far away.
"Don't touch it!" he said.
She wasn't angry when the mushroom in her hand was thrown away; she knew he was worried that the mushroom was poisonous.
"It's alright, Xuanmo, these are non-poisonous mushrooms, you can eat them," Shu Ning comforted him.
Seeing that he still wouldn't let go, he said again, "Don't worry, Xuanmo, this isn't poisonous. Trust me, okay?"
Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, Xuanmo loosened his grip on her wrist.
"Good boy, Xuanmo," she said after seeing him let go.
Then continue picking.
But Xuanmo did not pick that mushroom.
Soon, they had filled the animal skin bags to the brim.
After washing them by the river, Xuanmo caught a few fish in the river.
Shu Ning was shocked. His fishing speed was truly worthy of Xuan Mo...
She was worried about what to use for the soup, since all the fish she had previously pickled were now lying in a basin, turning into salted fish.
After preparing the fish, the two got ready to go back.
"Xuanmo, we've had a great day. Let's go to my place later. I'll make you some mushroom soup today."
When he heard her say she would make soup with that stuff for him, he looked down at the mushrooms in the bag he was carrying and frowned slightly.
Shu Ning found his expression adorable, but he surprisingly didn't believe her.
Just wait and you'll see how delicious it is.
By the time they were almost back at Shu Ning Cave, it was already noon.
"Xuanmo, would you like soup or stir-fried meat?" Shu Ning looked up at him.
"Anything is fine."
He didn't look at her, but noticed the man blocking their way.
