Chapter 52 was thrown away
"007, are you kidding me?"
"I can accept kisses and hugs, but with them... it's not really appropriate."
"And I'm on my period!?"
"You don't even know how to treat your host with any care. We've known each other for over ten days."
Seeing that he didn't answer, Shu Ning continued to think to herself.
"Alright then, at least give me some extra time, at least a month."
...
"Half a month is fine. During this time, I will try my best to raise one of the beastmen's affection for me to the point of liking me."
The system still did not respond.
She immediately deflated.
"What's wrong, Ningning?" Xiao Chong asked when he saw her frowning.
"Oh...it's nothing, Xiao Chong."
Shu Ning looked up at him, feeling a sense of guilt towards him because of the system's mission.
She secretly decided to plan something.
"Are you tired?" Xiao Chong asked worriedly.
"No, I'm not tired." She shook her head.
As soon as he finished speaking, a male voice came from ahead.
"Happy birthday, Shu Ning."
Upon hearing Mu Chen's voice, Xiao Chong frowned slightly.
"Thank you, Mu Chen."
"A birthday gift I prepared for you."
"What's this?" Shu Ning asked, taking the package from his hand with a puzzled look.
When she opened it, she found a piece of animal fur, brightly colored and of high quality.
“My sister is so beautiful now, she should dress nicely!” Mu Chen said.
"Thank you, I like it very much."
"If you like it, then I'm glad you did it."
"Yes, brother is so thoughtful."
Shu Ning followed his lead and called him "brother".
Xiao Chong sized up her brother, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Although he was her half-brother, he always felt that he treated her differently from other ordinary siblings.
Xiao Chong took her slender hand, surprised.
She can't lose any more weight.
Shu Ning noticed his unreadable expression and wondered what he was thinking.
The man suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Shu Ning was caught off guard by his sudden action and instinctively wrapped her arms around his narrow waist.
"Cough cough..."
Mu Chen, standing to the side, looked slightly embarrassed.
"You all go ahead with your work, I have to go now."
Neither of them paid him any attention or said anything.
Shu Ning blushed and buried her head in his chest.
At that moment, their actions were seen by Xuan Mo and Mo Li, who happened to be there.
What is this thing?
Jin Tong took the animal pelt from Shu Ning's hand and fiddled with it with it disdainfully.
"It's ugly, throw it away."
Shu Ning looked up and saw Jin Tong appear behind Xiao Chong, taking the things from her hands.
"Hey, no, that was a gift from my brother."
Shu Ning left Xiao Chong's embrace, determined to take him back.
Seeing this, Jin Tong raised the beast pelt high with one hand.
Seeing her get close to him, he naturally wrapped his other arm around her.
Shu Ning didn't care about any of that; she was worried that he would actually throw it away.
"How about I find you something even better?"
He looked down at her, his red eyes seemingly bewitching her.
She fell silent instantly.
"This isn't anything special. Our Jiao clan has many more beautiful clothes than this."
Mo Li pulled the fur-covered animal that Jin Tong had raised to the side.
"You guys..." Shu Ning was getting angry at the two of them.
Talk is cheap; at least Mu Chen knows to give something practical.
Xiao Chong took the animal pelt from Mo Li's hand.
"What are you saying? It was given to you by Brother Ningning. Wouldn't it be a waste of his good intentions to throw it away?"
"Mmm..." Shu Ning nodded quickly.
Seeing that it was Xiao Chong who took it, she finally felt relieved.
“I think a clean cloth would be just right,” he added.
"Um."
The other three agreed.
Hearing this, Shu Ning got angry again.
When did Xiao Chong become like them?
But then I thought about it again and realized something was wrong. What were they doing? Were they jealous?
Why are you jealous?
Is he jealous of her half-brother?
Shu Ning was amused by her own thoughts.
"Kind tips:
Jin Tong's favorability increases by 1.
Xuanmo's favorability increases by 1.
Mo Li's favorability increases by 1.
Xuan Lin's favorability increased by 1.
Upon hearing the system assistant's prompt, Shu Ning was taken aback. It was one thing for them to be added to the group, but since they were all in the same formation, a little jealousy would actually help improve their favorability.
Why did Xuan Lin add it too?
She glanced at Xuan Lin, who was not far away. Wasn't he talking to his subordinate Luo Ci? How could he still notice this side?
Could it be that she interacted with other beastmen, but he wasn't included?
The group looked at her and suddenly laughed, their brows furrowing slightly.
"From now on, we won't accept any gifts from anyone other than those for just the few of us, understand?"
Jin Tong said to the woman in his arms.
"Can't I even accept what my mother gave me?"
Shu Ning looked up at him.
"You know what we're talking about."
He tapped her on the head.
"Ouch, that hurts!" she said, rubbing her head and feigning pain.
At this moment, Xiao Chong pulled her back.
"'Where does it hurt?"
“Here.” Shu Ning pointed to her head.
As Xiao Chong massaged her, he glanced at Jin Tong, his eyes containing a hidden warning.
Jin Tong: ? ? ? ?
"No, I didn't use any force at all."
He cried out.
He looked at the two people beside him, trying to convince them with his eyes.
Neither Xuanmo nor Moli paid him any attention.
He's the only one who targets Shu Ning most often, so they won't believe him.
Seeing Shu Ning's pained expression, he began to doubt himself.
Did I really hurt her?
I was just about to go over and check.
Seeing that the topic had been changed, Shu Ning stood up and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Does it really not hurt anymore?" Xiao Chong asked.
"Um."
At this moment, Mu Xia walked over, followed by orcs carrying Shu Ning's gifts.
“Carry them into Ningning Cave.”
"Yes," the subordinate replied.
"Thank you, Mother, for giving me so many things." Shu Ning thanked Mu Xia as she saw them carrying the things back.
"Ningning, these gifts were prepared for you by Xiao Chong and the others at your mother's request. You should thank Xiao Chong."
"Mo Li, Xuan Mo, and Jin Tong have also prepared something for you; it's in there too."
Mu Xia added.
Shu Ning looked at them, feeling apologetic for her earlier misunderstanding.
They gave them all away, but not his.
Shu Ning glanced at the man not far away.
The man seemed to sense her gaze, and he turned to look at her.
Seeing him look up, Shu Ning immediately looked away.
Xuan Lin didn't notice anything unusual, but he still felt strange. He ignored it and continued with his work.
"Ningning, you guys keep playing, Mom's leaving now." Mu Xia was delighted to see how well the children were getting along.
"Yes, Mother, take care."
Shu Ning looked at the beastmen around her and remembered the new mission assigned by the system.
This is a headache-inducing task.
Who should I ask to complete this?
Her first thought was Xuan Mo.
Because she had taken advantage of him before.
Moreover, she currently has the highest level of favorability.
Recalling the previous two incidents, her face flushed slightly.
But in that area...
Never mind.
She shook her head and quickly denied it.
She then turned her gaze to Mo Li, who currently had no feelings for her.
Although his behavior was impeccable on the surface, she knew it was simply his duty to his female.
But how should I put it, doing this kind of thing requires an emotional foundation.
She didn't want to turn him into a tool.
Although she had good feelings for him, he felt differently about her...
Sigh, I'll try harder next time.
Currently, only Jin Tong remains; Xuan Lin is out of the question, as he is still in the period of dislike towards her.
Thinking of Jin Tong, they had once shared a bed, though nothing had actually happened.
Moreover, his affection for her was second only to that for Xuanmo.
He even kissed her first, so it seems like this is a possibility...
