Chapter 46 The Secret of Xuanmo
As Shu Ning was serving Xiao Chong a bowl of egg drop soup, she looked up and saw Jin Tong, dressed in fiery red, approaching.
"Jin Tong!" she greeted him.
Jin Tong placed the piece of meat he had hunted in front of Shu Ning and said, "This is for you."
"Wow, thank you Jintong, this is the first time you've brought me food." Shu Ning praised with some surprise.
"You are welcome."
He glanced at Xiao Chong beside him, then turned and left.
"Wait, Jin Tong."
Shu Ning stood up, took his hand, and said, "Why don't you eat something with us?"
Looking into her sincere eyes, Jin Tong glanced at Xiao Chong enjoying the soup she had cooked, and then remembered that Xuan Mo had also drunk her soup...
He could smell the aroma of food he had never tasted before in the air...
"Okay," he replied.
"I'll serve you some soup, Jintong, please sit down!" Shu Ning said.
Jin Tong pulled her back, "I can do it myself."
Seeing her busy running around, I said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Sit over there."
Then, mimicking how Shu Ning had served soup to Xiao Chong, he served Shu Ning a bowl and then served himself a bowl.
"Thank you!" Shu Ning said, taking the bowl.
Xiao Chong leaned against a large rock, one arm resting on the rock, the other holding a bowl, and casually glanced at him.
This kid, when did he become so good at this?
They've actually started taking care of Ningning now; it was already a favor that they didn't criticize her before.
"Is it good?" Shu Ning looked at them expectantly.
"Of course Ningning's soup is delicious," Xiao Chong praised.
"Hmm...not bad." Jin Tong sipped his drink. Although it tasted good, it was different from the one he had smelled at the entrance of Xuanmo Cave that day.
"What is this made of?" he asked.
“Bird eggs,” Shu Ning replied.
If you have seaweed and chopped green onions, it will be even better; it will taste even better.
"Oh?" Xiao Chong raised an eyebrow as he looked at her.
"You took those bird eggs yourself?" Jin Tong looked at her with slight surprise.
He remembered that she couldn't even climb that small hill before, how could she... But now that she's lost so much weight, it's not impossible.
He turned his gaze to Shu Ning and was surprised to find that she had lost weight again, and looked even more beautiful...
She can't get any thinner...you can see her "ribs" now.
How come his female has become so thin? How come he never noticed this before...?
Jin Tong looked at her with a complicated expression, seemingly lost in thought.
"Um...yes." Shu Ning said somewhat embarrassedly. Although she had indeed climbed before, she used teleportation later on.
"From now on, you can leave the finding of food to us. You just sit and wait to be fed."
As Jin Tong spoke, she took the skewered meat that Xiao Chong had prepared and started grilling it.
Xiao Chong didn't say anything.
"You guys?" Shu Ning looked at him in surprise again.
“Yes, us.” He gestured with his eyes to himself and Xiao Chong beside him.
"We" refers, of course, to those two beasts.
Otherwise, who could she rely on? Han Bingxuanlin, or that python who had already abandoned her?
They were still those two lukewarm, brooding, and lecherous husbands.
Of course, he could do this simple thing by himself.
"That's great, thank you Jintong and Brother Xiaochong, you're both so kind to me," Shu Ning said gratefully.
She must seize every opportunity to praise him.
"No need to thank me, I'm still your beast husband no matter what." After saying that, he handed her the roasted meat.
Upon hearing Shu Ning thank him, the tips of his fox-like ears secretly turned red.
As the sun sets, on one side, lovers are enjoying each other's company, their laughter filling the air, while on the other side of the wolf pack...
Behind the wolf tribe's mountain—
"Shh, keep it down!"
The sun had already set, and night had fallen.
In the wolf tribe, families were either eating or resting.
"Hurry up and speed things up while they're changing shifts."
"yes."
After finally waiting until dark, the wolf pack's outer perimeter guards changed shifts.
Several black snake shadows flicked their tongues and stealthily entered the territory of the wolf tribe.
After wandering around the wolf clan's back mountain for a while...
"Boss, do you know what that thing looks like?"
"I don't know!" said Black Snake, the leader of the squad.
"Boss, how do we find it?"
"Find that fat female wolf. Once we find her, we can find what we're looking for."
"Boss, do you know what she looks like?"
"What a joke! How come I didn't know? I was there that day too."
He was referring to the day of the siege.
Even though she was only on the outskirts, it was hard not to recognize her with her large body and extremely ugly, blurry shadow.
"Boss, once we find that fat female, will she really give us directions?"
"Nonsense! If we put a knife to her throat, would she dare not give us directions?!"
"Yes, boss is wise."
"That's right."
"Hey, who's got the guts to block my way!"
The black snake leader was envisioning a bright future when he suddenly bumped into a figure and shouted angrily.
Before he could even look up, he could already feel the other party's powerful aura. He was about to back away when the black snakes behind him kept moving and he crashed into them again.
"Boss, why are we stopping?"
The little black snake behind asked, and when he looked up, he saw a black snake that was dozens of times larger than its boss.
He exclaimed with delight, "Boss, we're kindred spirits!"
The few small black snakes behind, who had been following with their heads down, looked up after hearing the sound and were equally excited to see their kind.
They all looked at the large black snake with eyes of adoration.
Beneath his completely black snake scales, a faint, iridescent sheen could be seen. He looked down at them with the air of a superior.
This luster is only possessed by black snakes of noble lineage.
Among the noble black snakes, those with iridescent colors are even rarer, numbering only a handful.
His black vertical pupils stared coldly at the leading black snake, and he exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
"Don't speak!" the leader of the black snakes said warily.
The little black snake behind, not understanding what was going on, obediently shut its mouth.
The black snake leader said sullenly, "No offense intended, please forgive me. No offense intended, please forgive me..."
He spoke while backing away.
His whole body was trembling slightly.
The little black snake behind them was confused. Seeing its leader so frightened, it couldn't help but back away.
"Get lost if you don't want to die!"
At this moment, the large black snake suddenly spoke, letting out a low, angry roar.
“Yes, yes, yes…” the black snake in the lead quickly replied.
"Don't let me see you here again!"
"I'll do whatever you say..."
"roll!"
"Okay."
Hearing that they were leaving, he turned and ran away in a flash.
"Boss, wait for us!" the little black snakes called out from behind.
After running a long way, several small black snakes finally caught up with the leader.
He asked, panting heavily, "Boss... why did you run away...?"
“You…don’t…know…” The black snake at the head was also panting heavily.
It took a while for him to recover.
"Fools, didn't you see the colorful black scales on his body?" He looked around and, making sure there were no other creatures, dared to speak.
"I see it! It's beautiful! It's a rare rainbow scale in our Black Serpent Clan. I've seen the same one on our new leader!"
"You already know, why ask!" said the leader of the black snakes.
"But I still don't understand, isn't he one of our Black Serpent Clan?"
“Yes, yes…” the other little black snakes chimed in.
"He is the one that the former clan chief has been searching for!"
"Oh...it's him!?"
“That’s right,” he said after his initial panic.
"It's him."
