Chapter 254 Xuanmo, what brings you here?
Shu Ning Cave —
After the two returned to the cave, Mo Li went out for a while.
At this moment, Shu Ning planned to go into the space to check on the seeds she had sown earlier.
The moment you enter the space, an artificially covered "grassland" suddenly appears before your eyes.
To her surprise, she had expected a lot of grass, but there was hardly any grass on the large patch of soil.
The seeds that were sown earlier have grown quite a bit and are about to bloom, although some are dry and about to wither.
While Mo Li was away, she quickly pulled up some weeds and watered them.
At this moment, Mo Li went out to take a bath and even used the shower gel she had previously discovered.
After taking a bath, she exuded a fresh fragrance.
Seeing the full moon in the sky, he realized that his body was no longer bothered by the full moon night.
"Ningning, I'm back." The moment Mo Li opened the door, she realized that she was no longer in the cave.
They came out of the cave again and searched around.
When he didn't find her at the cave entrance, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Recalling the rumors I had heard while at the Dragon Vein, a bad feeling instantly welled up in my heart.
Back in the cave, perhaps having overlooked some corner, he shouted loudly, "Ningning, Ningning!"
He became increasingly panicked as he shouted, fearing that she had really been taken away and he would never see her again.
Shu Ning, who was looking at her "masterpiece" with satisfaction, suddenly heard Mo Li calling her and immediately appeared in the space.
"What's wrong, Mo Li?"
Hearing Shu Ning's voice behind him, Mo Li turned around and immediately hugged her, burying his head in her shoulder and inhaling her familiar scent.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxing considerably.
"You scared me to death, Ningning, I thought I would never see you again..." he murmured, his voice hoarse and trembling.
At this moment, Shu Ning thought he was just worried about her not being in the cave, and since it was a full moon tonight, she patted his back to soothe his emotions.
"Alright, alright, I'm here now," Shu Ning said gently, trying to comfort her.
A moment later, Mo Li stood up, placed his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her earnestly with his golden eyes: "Ningning, where did you go just now?"
"I just went to check on the seeds that were sown in the space before."
Shu Ning exclaimed excitedly, "Mo Li, do you know what? They're almost in bloom! I reckon it won't be long..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Li finally felt relieved. Regardless of what she continued to say, he forcefully leaned down and kissed her.
After a moment, he loosened his grip slightly, resting his forehead against hers, his eyes filled with possessiveness as he looked at her, his deep, magnetic voice saying, "Ningning..."
"You're never allowed to leave me again..."
Looking into his serious eyes, Shu Ning replied softly, "Mmm."
Hearing Shu Ning's response, Mo Li's lips curled up slightly, and then he scooped her up in his arms...
The next morning.
"Um……"
Shu Ning had just woken up and stretched when she saw Mo Li put the food on the table.
"Ningning's awake." Mo Li said gently and elegantly, walked to the bedside and sat down, smoothing the stray hairs on her forehead. "I just made some fish soup, get up and have some."
"Mo Li, you're here so early!" Shu Ning exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmm, it's alright. I'll make something delicious for Ningning as soon as she wakes up," Mo Li said with a smile. After helping her up, she went to get a bowl and ladled out some soup.
"Here, try my cooking." Mo Li ladled out the soup and sat back down on the bedside to feed her.
"Mmm, delicious. Mo Li's cooking skills are getting better and better," Shu Ning praised, then got up and sat on the stone bench.
"Mo Li, where are they?" Shu Ning asked while drinking.
"Hmm... Yiyuan and Hanshe went back to Youhuangze together, and Yan went along too, so the three of them went back together. I don't know where Jintong went. Xiao Chong is probably busy, I haven't seen him."
“Xuan Lin, he went fishing with me this morning, and then went to the clan chief’s place.”
"Oh...so what are you planning to do today?" she asked.
"I'm... fine today."
Mo Li originally wanted to go back and study his poisons or other things, but remembering that Shu Ning had said she wanted to go to the Northern Border, she said she was fine.
Seeing his hesitation, Shu Ning knew he was lying, so she continued, "What about Xuan Mo?"
“Xuanmo…he probably hasn’t woken up yet,” Mo Li said.
"You're the one who's still asleep."
Upon hearing the clear, masculine voice, Shu Ning looked outside the cave and saw a tall, black figure leaning against the cave entrance.
The light outside the cave was a little too bright, so she squinted. "Xuanmo?"
"Hmm." Xuan Mo got up, strode in with his long legs, and sat down next to Shu Ning.
"Getting up so early, why not sleep a little longer?" He said, sitting down and tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"It's not too early now, is it?" Shu Ning said while drinking her soup.
"Xuanmo, what brings you here?"
"What, can't I come if there's nothing wrong?" Xuanmo tucked her hair behind her ear and then continued to tuck the rest of her hair down her back.
"Of course not, Xuanmo can come whenever he wants," Shu Ning said, wiping her mouth after finishing her drink.
"Does Ningning keep her word?" Xuan Mo, on the other side, rested his chin on his hand and looked at her meaningfully.
"Um……"
Shu Ning frowned and glanced at him before replying, sensing that there was something hidden in his words.
"Ningning is the best." Xuanmo patted her head after hearing her affirmative answer, a glint of light flashing in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, Mo Li came over, picked up the bowl that she had finished drinking from, and continued to refill her bowl, and also served herself a bowl.
"Hey, Mo Li, I can do it myself." After Shu Ning put down the animal cloth, she saw that Mo Li had already filled it up and placed it in front of her.
"It's nothing," Mo Li said, sitting down next to her.
"Have you eaten? There's still some in the pot," Mo Li said to Xuan Mo.
“Yes, Xuanmo, would you like some? Mo Li’s fish soup is delicious,” Shu Ning said.
"No need, Ningning, I still prefer what you make." Xuanmo said with satisfaction in his eyes.
"Hmm..." Shu Ning realized that she hadn't cooked for them in a while, and then she thought of the things in her spatial storage. "Okay, I'll cook you some new food another day!"
"Great! I'm really looking forward to Ningning's new food!" Xuanmo said, smoothing her hair.
"By the way, Ningning, are you going up north?"
“Yes, that’s right. We should go now before it gets too cold,” Shu Ning said.
"Then I'll go with you later." Xuanmo said, using a spoon to scoop a spoonful of meat into her bowl.
"Sure, if you're free," Shu Ning said, seeing the meat he served her. "Thank you."
"It's okay, no matter how busy I am, nothing is more important than Ningning's affairs."
"Ningning, don't forget I'm here," Mo Li said upon seeing this.
“Actually, you don’t need to come with me if something happens,” Shu Ning said. “I can protect myself.”
"No way," the two said in unison after hearing this.
