Free Web NovelChapter 17: Chapter 16: Mo Xiao’s Estrus Period
On the back mountain, the moment the three men faced off, the very air around them seemed to freeze.
Yue Ying calmly gathered his outer robe around himself, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Who would’ve thought Young Master Snake had such a peculiar hobby as hiding under beds? And is the High Priest so fond of climbing into beds now, too?"
The two men across from him wore dark expressions. Mo Xiao frowned. "Let me repeat the clan rules: You are forbidden from using these Fox Charm Techniques on our wife!"
Yue Ying chuckled lightly. "The clan also has a rule forbidding Beast Husbands from fighting amongst themselves, so what do you call this? Are there so few couples in the clan who live together before marriage? I am her fiancé, after all."
Fei Yan frowned. "Others are others, she is she. Until she has made up her mind, you may pursue her, but you cannot use these kinds of tricks!"
He stared at Yue Ying and said, word by word, "Don’t forget that I am the High Priest. I have the authority to decide on the marital pairings of the clan’s Beastmen. If there is a next time, I will take her to the Clan Leader."
Yue Ying’s brow furrowed slightly before he broke into a smile again. "So sanctimonious, so hypocritical. High Priest, why don’t you take a look at the marks on your chest where she pinched you? Don’t tell me a Beastman of your Level couldn’t push away a weak female with no strength to even truss a chicken. How are your methods any better than mine?"
Fei Yan’s brow tightened, and he ultimately left without another word.
Mo Xiao quickly followed him.
Yue Ying glared angrily at their retreating backs. ’What an annoying pair. The moment I secure my position, the first thing I’ll do is make our wife break her contracts with them!’
「The next day.」
Word of mouth had spread from the patients she’d previously treated, and the villagers’ opinion of Su Mo had started to change.
Now, whenever anyone had a headache or a fever, they went directly to Su Mo for treatment. The crucial part was, she didn’t even charge a consultation fee.
Su Mo was woken by the sound of voices outside. Her head felt fuzzy, and fragmented images flashed intermittently through her mind... ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
After a long moment, she touched her faintly burning cheeks and murmured under her breath, "That dream felt way too real, didn’t it?!"
Little Nine suddenly popped up. "Tell me about it, Host! Maybe it wasn’t a dream!"
Su Mo froze for a second, then shook her head vehemently. "Impossible! Something that absurd had to be a dream!"
’This is just too outrageous... Could this body go into heat? Why else would I suddenly have a wet dream?!’
When Su Mo opened the door and went out, eight or nine people had gathered in the courtyard.
At the front was the elderly female who had been holding her grandson the previous evening.
She handed Su Mo a wild chicken. "Thank you for yesterday. My grandson’s fever broke late last night! If it weren’t for you, our family really wouldn’t have known what to do! We don’t have much at home, so please don’t mind this humble gift!"
"Auntie, I couldn’t possibly accept this!"
"You can! You can! You didn’t even take a consultation fee yesterday! This little thing is nothing! You take it. I’m heading back."
With that, she left the chicken and departed.
Su Mo wanted to chase after her, but seeing the people waiting in the courtyard, she decided against it.
By the time she had finished seeing a few patients, it was already evening.
It was only then that Su Mo realized her Beastman fiancés hadn’t been seen for half the day.
’Have they finally seen the light and left on their own? This is wonderful!’ freēwēbnovel.com
’I’ve already saved up 540 store points. Now, if I can just dump those Beastman fiancés, my life will be absolutely fantastic!’
The thought of a bright and brilliant future put Su Mo in a cheerful mood.
After resting for a bit, she went to check on the wild chicken. It was a hen that could lay eggs.
She decided not to turn it into ’Kung Pao Chicken’ just yet and let it live a while longer.
Su Mo went to find some branches and vines, preparing to build a chicken coop.
When she was halfway done, a series of rustling footsteps came from outside.
Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, and Yue Ying returned from outside.
It looked like they had been out hunting. They brought back some wild vegetables and game.
There were rabbits, small birds, and some sweet potatoes, mushrooms, wood ear fungi, and the like.
Su Mo frowned. ’These plagues actually came back?! Don’t tell me they were actually won over by my cooking? This won’t do. Otherwise... maybe I should put some laxatives in their food tonight?’
Yue Ying put his things down and walked over, asking knowingly, "What is our dear wife thinking about so intently?"
"Ah~ I was just worrying about what to make for dinner, and you all came back with food..."
Fei Yan said, "Our wife must be exhausted these past two days. Why don’t we prepare dinner tonight?"
Yue Ying narrowed his eyes. "That’s right. It wouldn’t be good if our wife were so tired her vision blurred and she put the wrong thing in the pot~"
The two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention what happened last night.
Su Mo: "..."
’I just had the thought, and I’ve already been found out? Does that damn fox really have a Heart-reading Skill? Then I absolutely can’t let him stay! Just how am I supposed to get rid of them quickly?!’
