Chapter 64 Unveils a New Territory
After dinner, Mo Li escorted Shu Ning back to the cave.
On the road.
Shu Ning didn't want to waste the time she spent with him.
"Mo Li, what do you think our future children will be like?"
She looked up at him, her left hand being held by him, and gestured with her right hand.
"Is it like this, or like this?"
She first drew a circle, then drew a wavy line.
Mo Li was amused by her actions, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.
"What kind of person do you want?" he asked, leaning close to her ear in a deep, magnetic voice.
Shu Ning was startled by his sudden movement, and felt his warm breath on her neck.
"I...I want someone like you." She blushed immediately after saying that.
What she actually meant was that she wanted the little dragon-human, since he, being a dragon-human, always felt quite lonely here. However, her words seemed to have another meaning on the surface.
Although Jin Tong was also a fox in their wolf clan, she felt that he was better at expressing his feelings to her and asking for her love, and she was more willing to give him more love.
"Really?" Mo Li looked at her with great interest.
"No...no, it is." She said, looking at him so close to her, not knowing what she was saying.
"Is it... yes, or no?"
Shu Ning looked at his handsome face, which was very close to hers, his golden eyes staring at her. She felt her face burning and her heart pounding. The atmosphere was extremely ambiguous.
"Yes!" Shu Ning said, then closed her eyes and stopped looking at him, her face flushing red all the way to her ears.
Hearing her affirmative answer, Mo Li smiled slightly, feeling great. She patted her head and said, "Let's go, it's getting dark."
"Um."
He continued walking, holding her hand.
"Friendly reminder: Mo Li's favorability has increased by 5 points, and her total favorability is now 43. She is currently in the favorability stage."
As soon as they arrived at the cave entrance, they saw Jin Tong standing in her cave.
When Jin Tong saw Shu Ning and Mo Li return together, the light in his expectant eyes vanished instantly.
"Where did you go?" he asked.
"Jin Tong!" Shu Ning shouted.
"We're going to my mother's."
Have you had dinner yet?
“We ate together at Mother’s, and Father was there too,” Mo Li answered first.
Hearing this, Jin Tong's eyes showed even more disappointment, and his inner fox tail drooped.
"Jintong, is there something you need?" Shu Ning asked, noticing his dejected look.
“I…” he said, glancing at Mo Li beside him.
"You should go back now."
Mo Li did intend to go back, but at this moment he didn't want to leave anymore.
“I’m not leaving tonight,” he said.
Shu Ning was stunned upon hearing this. What was he going to do?
Jin Tong was also taken aback.
"Ningning, come with me, let's go to my place."
After saying that, he took Shu Ning's hand and tried to leave, but Shu Ning's other hand was still being held by Mo Li.
“Hey, you guys,” Shu Ning said.
Jin Tong stopped, looked at Mo Li who was still holding her, and said, "Ning Ning is sleeping with me tonight, so don't even think about it."
"You don't seem to like her that much, so don't force yourself," he added.
Mo Li remained silent for a while.
Does he really not like her?
Seeing his silence, Jin Tong slapped his hand away and pulled her over.
He then picked her up and whispered, "Come to my place tonight."
"Huh?" Before Shu Ning could react, he had already carried her away.
She turned around and looked at Mo Li, who was still standing there. Seeing his solitary figure made her want to keep him company.
“Jin Tong, you…” Shu Ning wanted to ask him something, but didn’t know how to start.
"What's wrong?" he asked, looking down.
How do you feel about me now?
Shu Ning recalled how Xuan Mo's attitude towards her changed drastically after she used up his favor points last time. How would he feel if she used his this time?
"Silly girl, of course I like you. Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to know."
Hearing his answer, Shu Ning felt much more at ease.
Using up his favor points left her feeling like she owed him something.
She decided to make it up to him.
Upon arriving at Jintong's cave, Jintong placed her directly on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then lay down himself, embracing her in his arms.
Shu Ning looked up at Jin Tong, whose deep red eyes were also looking at her.
"Jin Tong, have you ever used your charm on anyone else?"
"No," he answered without hesitation.
Shu Ning remembered that line of small print in the encyclopedia, got up, and pulled him into her arms.
Jin Tong was initially surprised by her initiative, then a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Jin Tong, shall I tell you a story?"
"Oh? What story will Ningning tell me?"
"A long, long time later, a female fell in love with a male. She finally mustered up the courage to confess her feelings to him, but the male rejected her."
As Shu Ning spoke, she gently patted his head.
When he heard her say that the female had fallen for another male, Jin Tong felt a pang of sadness, but when he heard that the male had rejected her, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"And then what happened to the female?"
"Later, that female left that world due to an accident."
Upon hearing that the female had left, he felt an inexplicable sadness over her departure.
"Won't that male be sad?"
"After the female left, she no longer knew anything about that world, including the male."
“This story is a bit tragic. We won’t end up like them, right?” Jin Tong looked up at her.
"Yes, we won't be like them."
Hearing her affirmative answer, Jin Tong felt much more at ease.
"Friendly reminder: Jin Tong's favorability has increased by 5 points, and her current total favorability is 70."
The two then embraced and slowly fell asleep.
The next morning, when Shu Ning woke up, Jin Tong was gone.
"Host, please note that since you currently have a beastman with negative favorability, please accept a new main quest: Raise Yiyuan's favorability to above 0, with a time limit of 7 days."
Upon hearing this news, Shu Ning instantly perked up.
She can finally go find Yiyuan!
But at the same time, I feel anxious about whether this unknown task can be completed.
"007, where is Yiyuan now? Has his location been secured?"
"He is currently in the Youhuangze area; there is a map on page 666666 of the encyclopedia."
"The Desolate Swamp? What is he doing there?" Shu Ning asked.
"Eating, sleeping, and fighting."
………
"Alright."
Shu Ning opened the encyclopedia and found page 666666.
She was shocked when she saw the distance; it was so far!
She decided to go back today and prepare properly.
Shu Ning got up and returned to the cave, planning to take everything she could: cured meat, bacon, cured fish, dried fruit, herbs, blankets, furs, water, pots, and firewood. She also put some into her space in case there were no trees over there.
After she had filled it up, she had practically emptied the cave.
She was considering whether to find a beastly husband to accompany her.
Shu Ning wasn't sure if those beastmen would refuse her if they knew she was going to find Yi Yuan. She didn't know if she could find them one by one, and even if she did, she didn't know if they would agree.
Another point is that this kind of thing takes a lot of time, so it's best not to do things you're not sure about.
She wanted to find Jin Tong, but now she didn't know where he had gone.
She wanted to find Xiao Chong, but his subordinates told her that he had already left on a long trip yesterday.
There was no other way; she had to go alone this time. Time was limited, and she couldn't afford to waste any more. She planned to set off after breakfast.
She didn't want to tell her mother, who would definitely not agree, so she told her servant first.
After preparing everything, she embarked on a long journey to find her husband...
