Chapter 32 Holding His Hand
"Please upgrade my previous save file level in two days."
"OK."
After the system disappeared, Shu Ning opened the encyclopedia.
The second step to conquering a man —
She wanted to see what Mo Li's preferences were.
"Regional group... Jiao Clan..."
Yes, there really is a record of Mo Li!
Mo Li: A large, male orc, the third son of Canglan, the queen of the Jiaolong clan, born in the Western Sea...
The last line: Hates but longs to become a legendary dragon, enjoys using poison and cultivating highly poisonous spirit plants.
After reading his profile, Shu Ning shuddered and couldn't help but click her tongue and frown.
I don't possess the Dragon Transformation Technique, but as for the poisonous strain...
She then examined the highly poisonous spirit plants favored by the Jiaolong clan—
Mysterious Yin Bone Spirit Flower: Where the corpses of the Jiao Clan are piled up...
This won't do!
The Blood-Weeping Hundred Ghosts Beard: Its roots are like blood streaks, and it emits a mournful scream when dug up... It needs to be suppressed with the secret techniques of the Jiaolong Clan.
This won't work either!
Burning Sea Poison Lotus: Born from the fusion of underwater volcanoes and dragon venom...
This won't work either!
Shu Ning shook her head repeatedly as she looked at each item, finding them terrifying late at night.
Take one more look; if there's nothing suitable, I'll stop looking.
Nine Hells Soul-Slaying Vine: Growing in the crevices of secluded mountains, its vines coil like dragons and snakes, secreting venom...
This looks promising.
Then she examined the crevice in the secluded mountain.
Isn't this the area near where she went to collect mystic crystals last time?
I'll go see what it looks like tomorrow.
I'm so sleepy, I need to go to sleep now.
The next morning—
After waking up, Shu Ning planned to go to the stream where she had been the day before to retrieve her "pots and pans".
Looking at the finished products on the flat ground by the stream yesterday, she excitedly picked up a bowl and gently tapped it with a stick.
The bowl instantly made a crisp clanging sound.
The finished product looks good.
Next, she checked for any cracked or defective products.
Not a single one is bad!
No wonder she's like that; she grew up playing in the mud.
She was overjoyed, then washed them all clean with the stream and teleported back.
After putting the pots and pans away, Shu Ning teleported to the place where she had retrieved the Xuanjing Stone last time. Before that, she had brought two animal hides as spares.
After all, the Nine Hells Soul-Slaying Vine can secrete poison.
However, that place is located further behind the mountain.
Shu Ning followed the map in the encyclopedia to find it, but the further she went, the narrower the path became, until finally there was no path at all.
Fortunately, she's not as fat now, and she's much more agile than before.
The surrounding area was filled with various trees and vines, and birds would occasionally flutter out from the high places, making the mountains seem very secluded and quiet.
Because these trees grow extremely tall, there are not many weeds around their roots, only a lot of leaves on the ground.
She is now worried not only about the various venomous snakes and wild beasts, but also about the traps set by the beastmen, fearing that she might accidentally step into one.
Fortunately, the place wasn't too far; it was just around the other side of the mountain from the previous cave entrance.
They arrived in no time. This was a shady spot on the mountain. She looked around and, even though the sun was already high in the sky, she still felt a chill down her spine.
When she saw the Nine Hell Soul-Slaying Vine, which resembled a serpent, she gasped in shock. She mustered her courage and tried to pull it off, but seeing how tightly it grew and climbed the cliff, she was immediately troubled.
Suddenly remembering that she still had a chainsaw, Shu Ning climbed to the closest spot to the vines, immediately took out the chainsaw from her spatial storage, and then used the animal hide she had prepared in advance to hold one side and saw off both ends.
Shu Ning looked at her spoils with satisfaction, knowing that only a section of this vine was needed to sustain her.
Then, after placing the chainsaw and the Nine Hell Soul-Slaying Vine in the space, he teleported back to his cave entrance.
Meanwhile, a pair of vertical pupils in the distance watched the entire process in disbelief.
No wonder he always felt something was amiss; the surrounding environment suddenly changed during the fight.
It was her...
Back at her residence, Shu Ning was unaware that her actions had been discovered.
She carefully took out the Nine Hell Soul-Slaying Vine, filled a jar with soil, inserted it into the soil, and then went to fetch some water.
It was already noon.
Outside the Ink Glass Cave—
"Mo Li, are you there?" Shu Ning called out after placing the potted plant.
When Mo Li heard this, she came out and saw the Nine Hell Soul-Slaying Vine on the ground. Her pupils dilated instantly as she stared at her in surprise.
He was surprised to find that she had lost weight again and was beginning to show signs of becoming a beauty.
"Did you pick these?"
"Yes, Mo Li, this is for you!" Shu Ning said happily.
He crouched down and examined the vine closely. Poison was seeping out from the cut, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
I looked at her again.
Seeing that she was unharmed, he said in a slightly serious tone, "Don't pick these things again."
"Why? Don't you like it?" Shu Ning asked, looking into his eyes.
"Danger." Mo Li said softly, looking at her expectant eyes.
"It's okay. As long as it's something you like, I'm not afraid of any danger," Shu Ning said.
She went through so much trouble to get this; if he likes it, then it's worth it.
"But I'll be careful, don't worry."
Mo Li was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
What she is doing is...
Then he placed his hands on her shoulders, looked at her with his beautiful eyes, and said, "What I like, you don't need to get it for me, understand?"
Upon hearing his words, Shu Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a slight pain in her chest.
Is he rejecting her?
well…
She sighed inwardly.
It seems we need to think of other solutions.
"I understand..." Her voice sounded weak, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, he couldn't bear it and said, "I like it very much, thank you."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning smiled again: "Really?"
"Mmm," he replied.
"Let's go swimming."
"good."
Shu Ning walked behind him, pondering how to shorten the distance between them.
Or should we say something nicer?
"Mo Li." Shu Ning ran up and walked alongside him.
Has anyone ever told you that you're pretty?
Mo Li did not respond to her. Judging from his unmoved appearance, it must have been said by many people before.
Forget it, let's try a different approach.
I guess he grew up hearing praise all the time.
She looked down at his long, handsome hands and swallowed hard.
She reached out and took his hand, her fingers slipping between his to intertwine with his.
He frowned slightly, looking down at her. She appeared calm on the surface, but her face was actually flushed and burning. She didn't dare to look at him.
A slight smile curved his lips, a playful glint in his eyes, and he tightened his grip on her hand slightly.
Feeling the pressure of the man's palm, her heart pounded.
"Mo Li, have you ever liked any females before?" She couldn't help but ask him, seeing how good Mo Li was at it.
"No," he replied without hesitation.
"Are there any females who like you?" she asked again.
"Yes," he replied without hesitation.
"Who is it?" Shu Ning asked curiously, wanting to know the answer.
She couldn't tell if it was just curiosity or something else.
“You.” Mo Li finished speaking and looked ahead.
After hearing his words, Shu Ning's face began to burn again, the blush spreading all the way to the back of her ears.
"Then do you mind if I like you?" Shu Ning asked, following his words, her face still flushed.
"I don't mind."
