Chapter 34 Bonfire Party
"It's alright now," Mo Li said softly, trying to comfort her.
Then, he brushed the wet hair that had been messed up on her cheeks aside and loosened his grip on her slightly.
After calming down, Shu Ning felt embarrassed when she recalled what he had just seen.
Seeing her still-shaken state, Mo Li transformed back into her original form.
"Come up."
Shu Ning did as she was told and climbed up.
The two then returned to the shore.
Mo Li wrung out the wet animal clothes she was wearing.
Let's stop practicing here for today.
"good."
After returning to her lodgings, Shu Ning changed her clothes, brought in the clothes that had dried the night before, and then sat on a rock by the cave entrance, drying her hair and thinking.
Recalling how cared for her just now, she figured his feelings for her must have increased considerably.
"007, help me check the favorability ratings of Mo Li and Xuan Mo."
"OK."
Xuanmo: 10
Mo Li: 10.
Shu Ning was pleasantly surprised after reading it. Xuan Mo's favorability had actually increased from 0 to 10, but Mo Li's favorability had only increased by 5.
Mo Li is such a hard man to win over. She risked being poisoned this morning to find the poisonous plant he liked in the wild mountains, and she even took the initiative to get close to him, hold his hand, and prepare breakfast for him beforehand. She didn't expect that her health would only increase by so little.
I really can't understand it; this man's self-control is just too strong.
"Host, you have completed the initial kissing strategy mission. Do you wish to level up now?"
"No need, just keep it with the level that will be temporarily stored the day after tomorrow."
"OK."
Anyway, there's no real reward for getting promoted.
This system is full of pitfalls.
Now she's embarking on her final weight loss plan.
Speaking of leveling up, she never expected that Xuanmo would help her complete this mission, while Moli…
Alas, it's true what they say: you may try to plant flowers with care, but they may not bloom; you may plant willows without intention, but they may thrive.
It seems we'll need to consider changing the objectives when the system assigns tasks in the future.
The difficulty of the tasks ahead will likely increase, so she needs to prepare in advance and get closer to a few more beastmen.
As he was pondering this, Xiao Chong suddenly appeared before him.
"What are you thinking about?" He leaned down and looked at her sitting at the entrance of the cave.
His seemingly expressionless eyes actually concealed a tenderness.
The moment Shu Ning saw Xiao Chong, she suddenly stood up and hugged him.
"Brother Xiao Chong." Her voice was slightly choked with tears.
"What's wrong?" He returned her hug, looking down and asking gently with concern.
"It's nothing... I just missed you."
Hearing her words, tenderness appeared in his eyes, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he tightened his embrace around her.
But when he noticed that she seemed to have lost weight again, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Much later.
How are you feeling now?
"Much better," Shu Ning replied after calming down.
"The Holy Mother is looking for you," he said.
"Looking for me?" Shu Ning asked, puzzled.
"Um."
"What do you want?" Shu Ning asked curiously.
You'll find out when you get there.
"oh."
Then Xiao Chong took her hand and walked towards the Wolf Clan's Sacred Pool.
Before they even arrived at their destination, Shu Ning could hear the cheerful laughter of the beastmen ahead and see the glow of flames.
"What is this for?" she wondered to herself.
Before long, several bonfires were seen burning brightly over the sacred pool, with the beastmen gathered around them, placing various kinds of food around the fires.
They happily shared their food, some playing games, some dancing, some gesturing, and some even howling like wolves from time to time.
Xiao Chong led Shu Ning to the center, to the largest bonfire, where several of her beastmen were sitting around her. Opposite them sat Mu Xia, Shu Yanzhao, and other beastmen, including Mu Yu and Mu Chen.
Upon seeing Shu Ning arrive, Mu Xia greeted her, "Ningning's here, please have a seat."
Shu Ning looked at the joyful atmosphere in surprise. She didn't expect that they had learned to use fire so quickly and even held a bonfire party.
To her even greater surprise, they had already learned how to use fire to roast meat.
It seems that the saying about rapid technological development also applies to the beast world.
She guessed that this kind of life would become their daily routine.
Xiao Chong led her to a group of beastmen.
She was about to sit down happily when she turned her head and saw a cold, handsome face with silver hair.
That's right, it's Xuan Lin.
"Brother Xiao Chong, I'd like to switch seats with you."
She whispered in his ear.
Although it was very soft, Xuan Lin still heard it.
A flash of anger crossed his eyes. He was already being lenient by not disliking her, yet she dared to dislike him?
Xiao Chong glanced at Shu Ning, then at Xuan Lin's cold gaze beside him.
"Okay." He smiled slightly.
Then the two switched places.
The current positions of the people are as follows:
Jin Tong, Xuan Mo, Shu Ning, Xiao Chong, Xuan Lin, Mo Li.
Shu Ning glanced at Xuan Mo, a handsome man with black hair, next to her, and immediately wanted to change seats.
Between Xuan Lin and Xuan Mo, she still prefers Xuan Mo.
She just didn't know how to face him about what happened this afternoon.
She ripped off his… He kissed her…
After sitting down, she greeted him awkwardly.
"Hi, Xuanmo."
"Hi, Jin Tong."
She didn't forget to greet Jin Tong, who was standing next to her.
Then she immediately turned around and hugged Xiao Chong's arm tightly.
The two looked up and saw her greet them, then immediately turned away without responding to her greeting.
So aloof!
Shu Ning silently muttered to herself about them.
When Xiao Chong felt the female beside him clinging to his arm, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
He patted her head with his other hand.
Xuanmo's eyes darkened instantly when he saw her avoiding him and how much she depended on other males.
Then he handed the grilled meat skewers to her.
After smelling the aroma, Shu Ning turned her head and saw the roasted meat in front of her, and unconsciously swallowed her saliva.
Then look at Xuanmo.
His cold expression was devoid of any emotion.
"Take it," he said in a low voice.
Shu Ning was indeed hungry. She looked at him apologetically, then reached out to take the skewers, but accidentally touched his long, cold hand.
My heart skipped a beat and started racing.
Suddenly, I remembered the image of him kissing himself in the water.
My face instantly felt slightly hot.
After taking the skewers, he turned to Xiao Chong and secretly sprinkled some salt on them before eating.
"Mmm, delicious!" she exclaimed.
I must say, his grilling skills are truly exceptional.
After hearing her say it was delicious, Xuanmo's expression softened somewhat.
Xuan Lin noticed their actions and his expression became complicated.
He remembered that Xuanmo disliked her, and how she had treated him before.
He actually gave her food, even though he never gives her food.
It hasn't been that long.
And then there's Xiao Chong, this killer who's even more ruthless than him, who actually likes this fat female.
That's insane.
When he caught a glimpse of Shu Ning, a hint of surprise flashed in his silver eyes. He noticed that she had lost weight again and looked even more beautiful.
Is this still the same female he knows?
A hint of disgust flashed in his eyes when he saw the grease stains on the corners of her mouth.
That's just how it is—old habits die hard.
The next second, Xiao Chong wiped it clean for her.
Xuan Lin was shocked; he really didn't mind her.
Seeing this, Mo Li had a complicated expression. Didn't she say she liked him?
Why didn't she come to find him, but instead changed seats to sit next to the male Xuanmo who had bullied her that afternoon?
She even ate the food he gave her...
Thinking of this, his eyes darkened.
