Chapter 239
At that time, they were being hunted by the Merfolk and had nowhere to go but to hide in the river near the Abandoned Beast Domain for a while.
They thought they could hide and not be discovered, but after a few days, the relentless pursuit of their tribesmen had not yet retreated.
While he was out hunting for food, the group of sharks found the cave they had temporarily found.
When he returned, Leng Ye was gone. He searched the area but couldn't find him. Just when he was in despair, a female wolf brought him back safely.
At that time, the two of them were still young beastmen, but the female was clearly not an ordinary wolf beastman. He saw a group of wolf beastmen waiting for her not far behind her.
She was worried that someone else might try to kill her and her son, so she stayed behind for a few days to deal with any clansmen who tried to ambush them.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged merman felt grateful to Shu Ning. If it weren't for her, he would never have seen his son again.
But for some reason, after she went back, her temperament gradually became more and more strange and irritable.
He didn't believe at all that it was Shu Ning, the one who had saved him and his son, and even thought it was all a rumor.
But after hearing that she insisted on possessing both males sent by the fox clan and the dragon clan for marriage alliance, he realized that the rumors were not unfounded.
"Father, I'm ready," Leng Ye said excitedly as he returned.
"Okay, go call Ningning and the others," he said.
"Hmm!" After the young merman finished speaking to the middle-aged merman, he immediately turned around and went to Shu Ning's room.
Seeing the young merman's enthusiastic appearance, the middle-aged merman felt a complex mix of emotions.
"The banquet is ready, you can go and eat now," the young merman called out as he entered.
He had just come in when he saw the group of people preparing to come out.
"You... what are you doing here?"
He saw Shu Ning being held by one of the wolf-beastmen, while the others were carrying bundles and packing everything up.
“Ningning has recovered now, and we’re getting ready to go back,” Yiyuan said.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ye's smile froze, and he reached out to stop them, "You can't leave now."
"What, you won't let us leave?" Jin Tong questioned.
“No, that’s not what I meant,” the merman said. “What I meant was…”
“Ningning is still very weak. She has just gone through so much, and the wolf clan is so far away from here. If you take her back now, her body will definitely not be able to handle it.”
Seeing their hesitation, he continued, "You are all supposed to be her beast husbands, yet you only care about yourselves and don't consider your female status at all."
"If I were her beastly husband, I definitely wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave now."
Upon hearing the merman's words, the others fell silent.
"Moreover, the air here is no different from that on land, and it's near the dragon vein, which is beneficial for her physical recovery and allows her to recall more memories."
"Then why don't we wait a bit before leaving?" Yan thought what he said made some sense, and said to them.
“Yes, this place is near a dragon vein, which will definitely help Ningning’s recovery. Besides, Ningning has just woken up and is already going on a long journey,” Jin Tong said. “Ningning’s body definitely can’t take it.”
"Ningning, are you hungry?" Xiao Chong asked, looking at the female in his arms.
"A little," Shu Ning said shyly.
“Okay, then let’s stay here for now and go back once Ningning has recovered a bit,” Yiyuan agreed.
Upon hearing this, the merman exclaimed excitedly, "That's more like it! The most important thing for a qualified beast husband is to take good care of his female."
"Dinner is ready, please come with me," he said to Xiao Chong and the others.
"Let's go," Yiyuan said.
Afterwards, the group followed the merman to a luxuriously decorated palace. The entire ceiling was covered with glittering crystals, and the food on both sides below was incredibly abundant.
In addition to seafood delicacies from the sea, there are also meats and fruits from land, with a variety of varieties, and their aromas fill the hall.
"I never expected that you sea monsters would know how to grill meat," Jin Tong said with admiration after sitting down and seeing the grilled meat placed in front of him.
"Of course, even though this is the seabed, we have everything you want to eat. Ningning's favorite food lately is barbecue."
"How did you know Ningning likes barbecue?" Jin Tong asked, frowning.
"What's so special about that? I know everything about land and sea," the merman said proudly after hearing Jin Tong's praise.
"Oh?" Yi Yuan said, picking up a piece of grilled meat. "Tell me, what else do you know?"
"Regarding your Youhuangze affair, weren't you still at war a few months ago?" he said, looking at Yiyuan and Hanshe.
"And the Western Sea, you used to be at odds with the Black Serpent Clan, but you reached a compromise so quickly. This must have happened after Xuanmo became the leader of the Black Serpent Clan."
"Not to mention the Fox Clan, your brother-in-law became the Fox Clan Chief, do you really not have any thoughts about that?" He looked at Jin Tong and said with a smirk.
"What does it matter to you whether I have thoughts or not?" Jin Tong rolled her eyes and said angrily after hearing this.
"It's just chatting, don't get so worked up," the merman said.
"Since you know so much, you must know about the big event that the Wolf Clan was attacked by the Black Bear Clan a while ago, right?" Han She said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
The merman's smile froze. "I... of course I know."
“Oh, right,” Jin Tong said. “Since you care about Ning Ning so much, why don’t you go and help her?”
"I only found out afterward, and besides, at the time I thought..." he said, looking at Shu Ning, who was about to take the lobster that Xiao Chong had peeled.
"What do you think?" Xuanmo, who had been listening to their conversation, suddenly asked.
"I thought she was an intruder who had taken over Ningning's body." He frowned, his eyes filled with guilt.
"So, because of this, we just watched the wolves get slaughtered," Han She said sarcastically as she pried open a seashell.
"Sigh, don't say that about him. What does he have to do with our Ningning? What does he have to do with our wolf clan? Why should they offer help?"
After sitting down in a domineering posture, Yan spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
"Yes, I almost forgot. Sorry." Han She apologized on the surface, but a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
Then he handed the shellfish meat to Shu Ning, and seeing that she already had something in her hand, he simply fed it directly into her mouth.
Hearing Han She's words, the merman felt even worse. He knew that the wolf clan had been ambushed, but the thought that his Shu Ning's body had been taken over by someone else made him furious.
But the thought of that body made him conflicted.
Just as he was about to lead his team off, he heard the news that the Black Serpent Clan was supporting the Wolf Clan.
After sending the orcs to the back, he went alone to a mountain belonging to the wolf clan to observe.
When he saw Shu Ning single-handedly slaying the group of black bears in the distance, he was shocked. Almost instantly, he felt that it was the same Shu Ning he had encountered back then.
