Chapter 641 The Falcon Takes Flight at Dawn
"Alright, stop squatting behind the tent getting chilled out, come in and have a drink."
Xu Ning watched as Tadella fell asleep drunk before calling out to the outside of the tent.
The tent flap twitched slightly, and a figure swiftly slipped inside.
"How did you know I was here? I came back from outside and didn't even see a single guard."
The speaker was Jade, who had just returned from a mission outside.
The girl looked extremely unhappy, like someone who had caught their boyfriend cheating but ended up catching their most hated roommate instead, doubling their already bad mood.
“Lilupar told me that since it can easily change its surroundings, it can naturally have the most detailed control over them. You’re standing this close, there’s no way you can escape its control.”
Jade snorted, gently turned Tadra over with her foot, and seeing the obedient smile still lingering on her face, her bad mood tripled.
"So, while I was away on a mission for two or three days, you managed to get Marcela's falcons into bed and get them to lay eggs?"
"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of weird analogy and tone is that?" Xu Ning didn't expect this guy to make fun of him for no reason. "Come on, sit down and have a drink with me, and tell me about what happened between you and Tadra."
Jade sat cross-legged in front of Xu Ning, downed the "Thousand Winds" in her bowl in one gulp, and then gave a disdainful look at Tadella's drinking capacity, who was fast asleep beside her.
"When I first came to Tanette, I couldn't talk to many people here. But this girl looked like she was easy to bully, so I deliberately tried to get close to her. But she always had a cold face and ignored everyone."
Xu Ning nodded, a classic case of love turning into hate.
"Later, Madam Babel said that some elders had betrayed the tribe and asked me to send them back to the mother's embrace."
Ha, eliminating dissidents.
"Is this when you met Tadella?" Xu Ning poured the little grizzly cat another drink.
Jade thought for a moment, "I guess we've come to a positive conclusion. I want to get rid of Elder Marcela, and she wants to protect that old... cough... scoundrel."
Jade, being outspoken, almost blurted out something she shouldn't have, but quickly coughed lightly to cover it up.
“I talked to her all night. I don’t know what Marcela and Madam Babel said, but Madam Babel suddenly changed her mind and removed him from the list.”
"The reason she was captured by those useless fools this time is because the wounds I left her must still be healing, hehe!"
Xu Ning nodded, having roughly learned about the conflict between the two.
“I’m here to tell you that Marcela probably already has murderous intentions towards you, which is why she’s deliberately kept by your side. Although you’re clever enough to use alcohol to get her drunk and use her, this behavior is still very dangerous. After all, many hunters who are far more powerful than Falcon have ultimately suffered because of this.”
Jade leaned over the table and whispered, "The best way is to get rid of her quietly now, and then tonight I'll take care of Marcela, who isn't protected by the falcon. Anyway, I won't be back until tomorrow, so no one will suspect you or me."
Xu Ning glanced at Jie De and pretended to be surprised.
"Well done, little Jade. You're ruthless, decisive, and adept at eliminating threats and hiding your tracks. You're much better than I expected. Did Babel teach you all this?"
Jade clearly realized that Xu Ning was just joking and had no intention of killing the falcon.
"Hmph, if you don't listen to my advice, just wait for the falcon to peck out your eyes!"
The little grizzly cat slammed the empty bowl onto the table and then darted out of the tent again like a wisp of smoke.
Xu Ning looked at the small silver bowl, which was almost deformed from being squeezed by Jade, and showed it to Lilupal.
"After Jade awakened the power within her body last time, she seems to be losing control of it?"
Lilupal tilted the bottle, as if examining it closely, and then said, "That's her own body. She'll naturally be able to control it freely once she gets used to it. However, the power of the Ahmar bloodline won't stop at this level; it should continue to grow."
Xu Ning recalled the guardian of Aru Village, Candice, who possessed a terrifying aura and wielded a gun and shield.
According to what I learned from Desia, this girl also seems to be a descendant of the Crimson King's bloodline, as evidenced by the golden blue pupil in her left eye.
Speaking of which, she and Jade both seem to have purple hair, but Candice's is slightly darker and Jade's is slightly lighter.
"Let's wait and see how the little grizzly grows! As for the little falcon, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
When Tadella woke up from the soft blankets, it was already daylight.
She couldn't remember the last time she had slept so peacefully and soundly.
Being able to sleep so comfortably in Xu Ning's tent filled her with both joy and a touch of sadness.
"Oh, you're awake!"
Xu Ning seemed to be sitting at the small table just like last night, smiling at Tadella, "Do you have anything to do today? If not, I won't have an excuse to ask you to come over again tonight so you can sleep peacefully."
A shadow fell over Tadella's eyes, which were as clear as the sky. She stood up, reached for her gold-embroidered red silk from the table, and blindfolded herself.
"Yesterday, my father gave me my first hunting assignment. Would you... like to come with me?"
Xu Ning stood up, carrying his wine gourd. "How could I not want to? Let's go tell that damned... cough cough, Elder Ma, so he won't come back and try to renege on my debt."
Tadella couldn't help but burst out laughing again.
It seemed that the bowl of wine last night had allowed her to let go of her worries.
Xu Ning swaggered over to Marsera's tent with Tadra. "Elder Marsera, Tadra wants me to go on her first hunting mission with her. I think you would be very happy if I went along, wouldn't you?"
Marcela smiled and nodded, saying, "With the esteemed Master of the Town accompanying me, I am certainly happy and at ease."
"That's good. Then it'll be the same as always. Tadella is mine tonight."
Marcela nodded with a smile, "I like the old ways. Have fun today."
In the main hall above the Tanit camp, Babel and Jade stood together on the edge of the cliff, watching Xu Ning laughing and joking as he led Tadra westward out of the camp.
As if she hadn't heard the "clicking" sound of Jade's finger cot being squeezed, Babel made a nonchalant comment.
“Marcela is no longer worth our attention.”
