Free Web NovelChapter 14: Chapter 13: Your Person in Life, Your Ghost in Death
Soon enough, Yue Ying, Fei Yan, and Mo Xiao arrived in the kitchen, originally intending to help Su Mo cook.
But upon seeing the plates of already-cooked dishes, the three of them were petrified on the spot.
Although Yue Ying and Fei Yan were already aware of Su Mo’s culinary skills, they were still astonished all over again.
The ground meat that the two of them had just minced was now made into lion’s head meatballs and meat patties by Su Mo.
The braised pork ribs not only smelled wonderful, but they also looked incredibly appetizing.
Su Mo had also made a soup with mushrooms; one could tell from the aroma alone that it was exceptionally delicious.
She turned and urged the three petrified men, "What are you standing there stunned for? Hurry up and take the dishes out so we can eat."
"Right."
Mo Xiao took the lead, carrying out two plates.
Yue Ying also carried out a bowl of soup.
Fei Yan came over, picked up a plate of vegetables, and asked, seemingly casually, "What about the rest of the pork?"
"I put it away." freeweɓnovel.cøm
Su Mo finished plating the vegetables from the wok and handed the dish to him. "Take this out too."
"Alright." Fei Yan took the dish out, and when he returned to wash the wok, he casually looked around the kitchen.
He didn’t find the pork.
At that moment, Fei Yan felt even more certain of his suspicion.
Su Mo most likely had a superpower.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain how she suddenly knew medicine.
The ’God’s Prophecy’ mentioned that a few Females possessed superpowers—some had the Wood Healing System, while others had spatial storage.
However, Fei Yan had never met such a Female before. Su Mo was the first.
And he still wasn’t sure which kind she had, or if she had both.
During dinner, Mo Xiao first tried a bite of the wild vegetables.
A single bite was enough to make an expression of surprise appear on his face.
In the past, the stir-fried wild vegetables he ate were as tasteless as wax. Even the ones made at the tavern in town were terrible.
But the ones Su Mo stir-fried were not only fresh and crisp but also surprisingly delicious.
He then tried a meatball. Mo Xiao was amazed—the meat filling was firm and springy, the sauce was rich, and it was full of meaty flavor without being greasy.
It was incredibly addictive.
Mo Xiao couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Su Mo, who was sitting diagonally across from him. She really seemed completely different from before.
The two Little Dragons were wolfing down their food, their mouths shiny with grease. They burped, then smiled at Su Mo and said, "Sister Mo, we’re full. We’re going to check on the Lord Major General."
Su Mo nodded, thinking to herself that Long Yan should be waking up any day now.
’When that dragon wakes up, I’ll have him take me to see the world! It’ll be his way of repaying me for saving his life, and I’ll get to ditch these annoying guys in front of me at the same time!’ free𝑤ebnovel.com
The next second, the three men across from her all froze, then looked at each other.
Su Mo, not understanding, smiled with crescent eyes. "Why aren’t you eating? Go on, eat."
Yue Ying nodded with a smile.
Su Mo stood up. "I ate too much. I’m going for a walk."
Soon, the two Little Dragons came out of the room and followed her.
As soon as Su Mo turned around, she saw Ah Nuan hiding furtively to the side.
Seeing that she had been discovered, Ah Nuan stopped hiding and stepped out from behind a tree.
"Don’t think that Young Master Mo Xiao and High Priest Fei Yan will like you just because you can cook! They’re just mooching a few meals off you because your cooking is good! And that little bit of medical skill you have is nothing special. Compared to the great Witch Doctor, it’s just superficial tricks!"
Su Mo sized up the young woman in front of her. Aside from her slightly dark skin, her features were quite delicate, and her figure was perfect.
Never mind in the Beast World, even in her own time, she would have been considered a beauty.
Unlike her own body, which had been ravaged by poison, making her as thin as a bamboo pole with features that couldn’t be called pretty.
Comparing the two, this Ah Nuan certainly had the capital to be proud.
If she were one of those Male Beastmen like Mo Xiao or Fei Yan, she would definitely choose a Female like Ah Nuan.
The reason those guys were clinging to her now was either because they wanted to take the opportunity to poison her and be done with it, or they had grown a little curious about her recent changes.
In any case, it definitely wasn’t because they liked her. Su Mo was certain of that.
She remembered that Ah Nuan currently only had two Beast Husbands because she was too picky, so most Male Beastmen didn’t meet her standards.
Su Mo raised an eyebrow. "You like Fei Yan and Mo Xiao?"
"I!" Ah Nuan stammered, unable to say it.
After all, Fei Yan and Mo Xiao were already spoken for, and if she admitted it, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
"Well, I certainly don’t like them anymore. Especially Mo Xiao. He humiliated me so badly before, I could never like him again. I really hope they hurry up and break off the engagement."
Su Mo said this lightly, then started to walk away.
Ah Nuan’s eyes lit up. Su Mo didn’t want these Beast Husbands, which meant... she still had a chance?!
She turned and followed Su Mo. "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely. As soon as they ask to break the engagement, I’ll agree."
"You won’t go back on your word?!"
"You also know they don’t like me at all. Why should I cling to them?"
’Instead of those clueless guys, I’d rather choose the dragon in the bed. A handsome and brainless Dragon Race’s Young General, how great is that! When looking for a Beast Husband, you have to find a lovesick fool like that~’
’If this Ah Nuan has half a brain, she’ll know what to do next. Anyway, those guys don’t like me, and there’s no emotional foundation. If a Female like Ah Nuan takes the initiative to seduce them, it probably won’t be a big issue.’
"..."
The three Beast Husbands standing not far away all had faces as black as iron.
The hand with which Yue Ying fanned himself sped up slightly. "My dear wife, she’s really..."
Fei Yan frowned. "Our attitude toward her before really wasn’t very good. It’s understandable that she wants to break the engagement."
Yue Ying glanced at the grim-faced Mo Xiao beside him and huffed, "It’s just deserts. We were always discussing how to break off the engagement with her, and now it’s our turn to worry about how to stop her from doing it."
Fei Yan frowned and said nothing, while Mo Xiao was left looking completely awkward.
He couldn’t really say for sure what his feelings for Su Mo were right now.
But one thing was certain: he no longer loathed her as he had before.
Su Mo didn’t return home until after dark. She had been quite successful on her trip out, gaining 40 favorability points.
Twenty of those points came from Ah Nuan, who had even enthusiastically said she would come find her to hang out tomorrow morning.
The other 20 points came from a neighbor in the back of the village, because she had taught them some tips for identifying non-poisonous wild vegetables!
Su Mo happily hummed a little tune as she walked home, "You are my little, little apple, I can never love you too much~"
Just as she was getting into the song, Yue Ying suddenly popped out.
"My dear wife, where have you been wandering? You’ve been gone for so long."
Su Mo raised an eyebrow. "Just a random walk~"
’This damn fox is so nosy! Good thing we’re not actually married. If we were, would I have any freedom at all?!’
Yue Ying smiled. "Oh? I almost thought you’d gone to the black market to sell us all off."
"..."
’I mean, I’ve definitely thought about it in my dreams, but I don’t think I’ve ever said it out loud! Damn fox, he doesn’t have some kind of dream-peeking power, does he?!’
Yue Ying smiled bewitchingly. "I’m just kidding. How could my dear wife bear to do that? After all, you feel so deeply for us—we all know that! Don’t worry. I, Yue Ying, am yours in life, and I will be yours in death!"
Su Mo gave an awkward laugh. "..."
’What’s with all this sudden sweet talk? That fox is as cunning as they say! I have to get him out of here, and fast!’
"I... I’m going to take a bath!"
Yue Ying’s expression shifted, and he said in a deliberately seductive tone, "Actually, that’s something Yue Ying can help with. My wife, I’ll be very gentle~"
"!!!"
Su Mo shot him a terrified look, then turned and fled as if escaping for her life.
’It’s over, it’s over! The damn fox is really going into heat! How could he say something like that? He must be crazy!’
"Tsk tsk~" Yue Ying watched Su Mo’s retreating back, shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly, "So timid. What am I going to do with you in the future?"
