Chapter 95 Late Night
"What brings you here?" Shu Ning asked when he remained silent for a while.
He remembered that his affection level for her had also dropped by 1 last night, and he was currently indifferent to her.
"Be careful." He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't, and turned and left.
? ? ? ?
Shu Ning looked completely bewildered.
However, the fact that he took the initiative to find her means that he doesn't dislike her that much anymore.
"Xuanmo." She called out to him and caught up with him.
"Thank you for reminding me." With that, Shu Ning took out the pastries she had brought from the Viper Tribe.
"Here, have a taste."
Seeing his hesitation, Shu Ning stuffed the pastry into his hand.
"It's delicious, I don't know if you'll like it."
Xuanmo looked at the pastry wrapped in leaves in his hand, then at her, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Um."
He answered and left.
All of their actions happened to be observed by Xuan Lin, who had just appeared.
He approached Shu Ning, took her hand, and started to walk away.
"Hey! Xuan Lin, where are you taking me?"
She remembered that when she returned from the Illusionary Desert, she used up Xuan Lin's favorability points, and now they should be about the same as Xuan Mo's.
"Don't live alone recently," he said indifferently.
"So?" Shu Ning asked as he pulled her along.
"Come to my place."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning considered refusing.
If she goes to his place, those masterminds probably won't dare to look for her for a while.
But if I refuse his kindness, will he lose favor with me?
After hesitating for a while, she decided to stay.
"Xuan Lin, thank you for your kindness," she said, pulling her hand away from his.
Feeling her hand break free, he frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"I can't go to your place right now," Shu Ning said.
"Do you know how dangerous you are right now?!" He asked, his tone slightly angry.
Xuan Lin was annoyed and frustrated by this female who was wanted by countless people.
Shu Ning was surprised that he would say that. Could it be that he also knew?
But isn't he supposed to be indifferent to her? Why is he still so concerned about her?
Or is it simply because she is his female?
“I know that’s why I have to find out who the killers are hiding behind the scenes.”
Xuan Lin's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing her words.
"So, you already know who's behind this?"
"Yes, I have a rough idea, but I can't be completely sure yet. However, I already have a way to deal with it."
Xuan Lin panicked when he heard that she had to face the mastermind behind the scenes herself, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he remembered that she had other beast husbands.
"Who do you plan to work with?"
"Friendly reminder: Xuanmo's favorability has increased by 3 points, and his current total favorability is 31, which is in the normal stage."
As Shu Ning was pondering, she suddenly heard the system assistant announce something.
She felt a surge of excitement and almost laughed out loud, but then realized that Xuan Lin was still asking her questions, so she went back to thinking.
She thought about it and decided that neither Yiyuan nor Yan would work; they were too strong and the murderer might not dare to come.
Xiao Chong seems to be very busy, so I won't bother him for now.
Mo Li and Jin Tong are capable, but even she herself doesn't know their true strength, let alone the murderer.
It's likely the killer took a gamble, or perhaps they didn't think much of the two of them.
Mo Li wasn't sure if he would be willing to come, but Jin Tong had said he would come and stay with her, so she told him, "Find Jin Tong."
When Xuan Lin heard that her beast husband would help her, she was less worried, but she wondered if one wouldn't be enough.
"Is he the only one who can handle this?" he questioned.
"Who says we can't handle it?"
At this moment, Jin Tong appeared out of nowhere and came over as he spoke.
"Want to try it now?" he said provocatively.
"I...I believe he can handle it!" Shu Ning quickly said when she saw that things weren't going well for them.
Hearing her say that, Jin Tong was overjoyed. She walked over, put her arm around Jin Tong's shoulder, and looked at Xuan Lin triumphantly.
Seeing how close they were, Xuan Lin felt a mix of emotions and said, "Alright, but if you can't handle it, remember to come find me."
Then he hung a bone whistle around Shu Ning's neck.
“Blow this, and someone will come to help you.”
Shu Ning picked up the exquisite animal bone from her neck and looked at it. "Thank you, Xuan Lin."
"Okay." He replied and then left.
Shu Ning watched Xuan Lin's departing figure, wondering what he really thought of her.
Jin Tong noticed her staring at him and frowned slightly.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's get something to eat."
"good."
Then the two of them set up a fire in front of the Shu Ning Cave to cook soup.
Shu Ning returned to the cave and took out the pastries and other food that she had specially brought for him from her spatial storage.
"Jintong, look, what's this?" Shu Ning placed the package in front of him mysteriously.
"What is this?" he asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"This is dessert. I don't know if you'll like the taste," she said, opening it to show him.
Jin Tong saw the colorful pastries wrapped in leaves; they looked quite nice, so he picked one up to examine it.
The moment the pastry entered his mouth, his pupils dilated instantly as he looked at Shu Ning. "Mmm! Delicious!"
"Where did you get this? Did you make it yourself?!" he asked, relishing the pastry and popping it into Shu Ning's mouth.
"Of course I didn't make it," Shu Ning said, eating the pastries he fed her. Seeing him eat so happily made her happy too.
"This was specially brought for you from the Viper Tribe."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Jin Tong's eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart.
"Of course it's true."
"Does anyone else have it?" he asked.
Shu Ning originally only brought it for him, but she just gave Xuan Mo a pack, so it's not a good time to say anything now.
“Xuanmo just came by and gave him a packet,” she said, pausing to observe his expression.
"But these were all brought especially for you."
Hearing this, Jin Tong felt something touch her heart. She remembered that even though she had gone to such a far place, she still remembered to bring him delicious food, which was his favorite.
He suddenly hugged her, resting his chin on the top of her head.
"Thank you, I like it very much," he said in a deep, magnetic voice.
"I'm glad you like it."
"Friendly reminder: Jin Tong's favorability has increased by 5 points."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning hugged him back.
After dinner, they sat in front of Shu Ning Cave, enjoying the sunset over the trees in front of the cave.
"Ningning, where did all these things in your cave go?"
"Some were used, and some were washed."
"Oh... I see. If you need anything washed in the future, just let me know and I'll help you."
"Yes, thank you, Jintong."
...
After they lay down that night, Jin Tong held Shu Ning in his arms.
"Do you think they'll come tonight?" Shu Ning asked.
"Won't."
"Are you so sure?"
"Just wait and see."
Wanting her to sleep peacefully, Jin Tong deliberately said, "Sleep well tonight."
Hearing this, Shu Ning kept her own thoughts to herself, but still fell asleep when drowsiness came over her.
In the middle of the night—
"She has that fox-clan beast husband by her side, are you confident?"
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a fox."
She looked at the flying insect in her hand, completely disregarding her beastly husband.
"We'll make sure they both get stung by this thing."
"Remember to be quick."
"yes."
