Chapter 194 Xiao Chong's Discovery
The next morning, when Shu Ning woke up, she felt that the bedside was empty. She reached out and touched the side of her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Chong sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her with eyes full of heartache.
"Xiao Chong, you're back!" Shu Ning said excitedly, moving closer to the bed.
"Hmm." Xiao Chong raised his hand and patted her head. "It's because Brother Xiao Chong came back late that Ningning had to go through all this trouble..."
"It's okay, Brother Xiao Chong. You have no idea how good I am at fighting those black bears!" Shu Ning wanted to share the scene with Xiao Chong as soon as she thought about it.
"Oh? Hehe... Ningning, quickly tell Brother Xiao Chong what happened back then." Seeing that she was interested, Xiao Chong's eyes softened.
"At first, those black bears thought I was female and didn't take me seriously, but in the end, I beat them one by one until they were terrified, and none of them dared to come near me..."
"Really? Then our Ningning is really amazing!" Xiao Chong found her talkative manner quite adorable. "Our Ningning is simply the strongest female in the beast world!"
"Haha, it's all thanks to the props!" Shu Ning said, a little embarrassed by Xiao Chong's praise.
“Even if they had tools, it would still take a lot of courage from Ningning to defeat them,” Xiao Chong said.
"Ningning was able to remain calm and composed in the face of such a battle between two races for the first time. Not everyone can do that, not even an adult male could guarantee it."
Shu Ning recalled that when she ventured alone into the desolate marshland, she encountered a battle between two tribes as soon as she arrived. Later, when she went to persuade Han She, she also witnessed the bloody scene of the battle.
That's why the wolf pack dared to face the horrific scene when they were ambushed by the black bear pack at night.
She was afraid that if she told Xiao Chong, he would be even more heartbroken, so she didn't say anything.
"This courage is something I developed years ago," Shu Ning said shyly.
Upon hearing Shu Ning's words, Xiao Chong suddenly recalled the Shu Ning of the past, whose personality was completely different from that of the present.
From the very beginning, when it was first discovered in the Mystic Crystal Cave, it felt like a completely different person.
They initially thought it was some tribe's secret technique that had stolen the original Shu Ning, so they kept a close eye on her.
But after spending so much time together, he found himself growing to like her more and more the more he observed her, eventually to the point of being unable to extricate himself from the relationship.
She not only helped other beastmen solve their tribe's problems and saved Jin Tong's father and Mo Li's elder brother, but also resolved the long-standing deep-rooted problems of the Black Serpent Clan.
Even the ongoing fighting in Youhuangze stopped and they made peace after she persuaded them to.
In the end, he even found his mother, whom he had been searching for since childhood, and just two days ago, he participated in the war to protect the wolf clan.
All of this, every single thing, had long since made him completely dispel any remaining opinions about her.
Even if she is a spy sent by the enemy, as long as he is there, she will be safe and sound.
No one can take her away from him.
Xiao Chong adjusted his posture, leaned down and kissed her, then pulled away from her lips, looking at her with deep affection, his breathing heavy and earnest as he said, "Ningning, your brother Xiao Chong will protect you for life..."
Shu Ning was taken aback by Xiao Chong's sudden confession. "Xiao Chong, what's wrong with you today?"
Xiao Chong chuckled silently. "Are you hungry? Get up and eat something."
“Mm,” Shu Ning replied.
Then Xiao Chong helped her up, "Are you tired?"
"Not tired," Shu Ning said, shaking her head.
"By the way, Brother Xiao Chong, where is Xuan Mo?" Shu Ning thought of the question she had asked last night about Xuan Mo returning to the Black Serpent Clan.
"He went to talk to the Black Serpent Clan orcs." Xiao Chong handed her the fruit and roasted meat.
"Oh...did he go back today?" Shu Ning asked while eating.
As soon as Shu Ning finished speaking, she heard a pleasant voice coming from the cave entrance.
"What, Ningning, do you want me to go back to the Black Serpent Clan so much?" Xuanmo strode in with his long legs.
"Xuanmo!" Shu Ning exclaimed in surprise when she saw him, "You didn't go back?"
Xuanmo sat down on the edge of the bed and said in a flirtatious tone, "There's no other way. I can't bear to part with our Ningning, so I have to stay."
Looking at the two beastly husbands in front of her, who gave her a perfect score of 100, Shu Ning felt that they were not much different from usual.
When she looked at Xuanmo again, he placed his hand on the back of her head, his body blocking her view like a sky, and when he pulled away, a kiss landed on her forehead.
Shu Ning slightly opened her mouth, and after regaining her senses, continued chewing the food in her mouth.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Mo looked at her with sparkling eyes, and asked in a magnetic voice, his Adam's apple bobbing as he smiled.
Shu Ning shook her head. "It's nothing."
She looked at Xiao Chong, trying to distract herself, "Xiao Chong, what are you planning to do later?"
"I plan to inspect the wolf pack later. Although the wolf pack crisis has been resolved, their defenses still need to be strengthened."
"Oh..." Shu Ning replied. At that moment, the system's voice came through.
"Host, you will receive a set of kitchen utensils if you complete the next beastman conquest today." 007's voice suddenly appeared.
"I already have all the kitchen utensils, so I don't really need them..."
"Don't rush to refuse. This kitchen set includes not only pots and pans, but also a mixer, a multi-functional oven, and an egg beater..."
"Wait, how can we use it without electricity?" Shu Ning thought to herself. "That solar panel can't power so many appliances, can it?"
"Don't worry, every appliance is equipped with a solar panel, and our technology is quite mature. A little sunlight can store a lot of electricity."
"That's good," Shu Ning said with relief.
She had wanted to bake a cake for a long time, but she never had the tools.
"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?" Xuanmo said when he saw her staring blankly at the meat.
"It's nothing." Shu Ning looked at Xuan Mo in front of her. She suddenly remembered the time when Xuan Mo's favorability rating dropped. She asked herself:
"007, after they finish their final mission, where am I supposed to go? Can you tell me now?"
“Host, you have already been cremated in your original world and cannot return,” 007 said.
"What?" Shu Ning exclaimed in shock. "What about my family?"
“Aren’t your family members right in front of you?” 007 said.
Shu Ning looked at Xuan Mo in front of her and suddenly felt a pang of sadness. She pouted and then bit her lip.
Seeing her sudden change in mood, Xuanmo frowned slightly, and worry appeared in his eyes.
"What happened? Who bullied you?" he asked, wiping the corner of her eye.
Shu Ning shook her head again, but her brows were now tightly furrowed.
“Xuanmo…” she whispered, hugging him tightly, her voice choked with sobs, “I have no family anymore… my family doesn’t have me anymore…”
Xuanmo felt even more confused as he listened to her incoherent words.
"Ningning, I'm right here," he said, gently patting her back to comfort her.
Thinking of the risks the wolf clan had just faced, and the fact that many wolf-orcs had indeed died, he sighed.
"And there's our Black Serpent Clan, that's your home too. Although Father doesn't remember us, he keeps talking about Ningning and asking when she'll return to the Black Serpent Clan."
A moment later, Shu Ning stood up and looked at him with teary eyes.
Xuanmo wiped away her tears, "Don't cry, okay? Look, your eyes are all swollen from crying. You won't be able to see the road later."
"That's an exaggeration." Shu Ning was amused by his words.
