Free Web NovelChapter 35: Chapter 33: A Little Kiss Isn’t Too Much, Right?
A sudden tightness seized Fei Yan’s chest, a knot of frustration.
But he was, after all, the worldly High Priest, and he quickly composed himself.
The Shopkeeper greeted Fei Yan enthusiastically the moment he saw him; they were clearly acquaintances.
The man looked at Su Mo and asked, "This one looks unfamiliar. May I ask your surname?"
"This is my wife," Fei Yan explained with a smile. "Her surname is Su, and her name is Mo."
The Shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and greeted Su Mo. "So you’re the High Priest’s wife. A pleasure to meet you."
Su Mo returned the polite greeting and then asked the Shopkeeper for several medicinal herbs.
Those were the herbs she planned to take to her lab to research a Detoxification Pill for herself.
The Shopkeeper stroked his beard and said, "The things you’re asking for are all rare medicinal herbs. They’re very difficult to obtain."
"That’s fine. Just have someone notify me if you find them. Price is not an issue."
The Shopkeeper smiled. "Alright!"
After settling the bill, Fei Yan bid the man farewell and they left.
After leaving the pharmacy, Su Mo had only taken a few steps when she overheard people walking toward her discussing Bai Hua Pavilion.
"A new batch of Beastmen just arrived at Bai Hua Pavilion! They’re incredibly handsome. Let’s go take a look!"
"It only costs five coins to ask one to dance!"
"Not only are the dances good, but the wine inside is also delicious!"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow. ’Perfect, no need to ask for directions.’ She turned and followed them.
"Wife!"
Fei Yan tried to stop her, but before he could reach the entrance, a Beastman from Bai Hua Pavilion came out and took Su Mo by the arm.
"Big sister, are you here for a drink? Please, come in!"
Su Mo turned to glance at Fei Yan, asking with a grin, "Are you coming in?"
Fei Yan’s brow furrowed slightly, but in the end, he followed her inside.
Once inside, Su Mo looked around. For a place of entertainment, Bai Hua Pavilion was exquisitely decorated. It was clear that a lot of thought had been put into the details in every corner.
’The book said that Bai Hua Pavilion eventually becomes the female lead’s main intelligence hub. The Beastmen who perform here usually have some real skills.’
’I wonder if the female lead has taken over this place yet...’
Fei Yan was taken aback. He never knew Bai Hua Pavilion served such a purpose.
Soon, they were led to a table in a corner.
Su Mo’s attention was quickly captivated by the Beastman dancing in the center of the stage.
’As expected of a land of temptation, every one of them is extraordinarily talented!’
Soon, someone walked over, asking cheerfully, "What can I get for the two of you to drink?"
Su Mo took a pouch from her waist and handed it over, pointing at the wine jars on the counter.
"A jar of the osmanthus, a jar of the peach, and a jar of the apple, please!"
The waiter took the money and left with a happy grin.
Thankfully, before leaving this morning, she had exchanged some Beast World currency from her system.
However, the daily exchange limit was low, so she didn’t have much money on her.
Soon, three jars of wine were placed in front of them, along with a plate of crispy peanuts and two small side dishes.
Su Mo savored the rich aroma of the wine as she took a bowl and poured some for herself and Fei Yan.
Seeing that she was actually going to drink, Fei Yan quickly warned her, "Wife, you should drink less. This wine is strong."
Su Mo boasted shamelessly, "It’s fine, I can hold my liquor!"
’Who are you looking down on? I used to be able to drink five bottles of RIO!’
Fei Yan frowned. ’What is RIO?’
’Whatever, let her drink if she wants. I’m here anyway, nothing can go wrong.’
From their private booth on the second floor, Su Mo drank while enjoying the splendid performance on stage.
At first, she seemed composed, but gradually her eyes grew hazy with drunkenness.
’Oh my god, what kind of legendary boy band is this!’
’That waist strength! Those abs! And they even know how to give a flirtatious wink... I’m dead!’
’Who needs a Beast Husband? As long as I have money, I’ll have a new groom every day.’
Fei Yan sat across from her, his knuckles white as he gripped his bowl, a vein throbbing in his temple.
’I was really asking for trouble. Why did I have to bring her to town?’
On stage, the Beastman was inviting the patron who had shown the most support to touch his... abs! freeweɓnovel.cøm
Su Mo’s eyes lit up. She staggered to her feet, wanting to go over. ’Everyone who sees it gets a share! I... I want some too!’
As she stood up, she carelessly bumped into the corner of the table, knocking over the wine and dishes, which spilled all over her dress, shoes, and socks.
Fei Yan quickly reached out to steady her swaying body, frowning. "Wife, you’ve had too much to drink. We should go home."
Su Mo, her face flushed red, shook her head in protest. "N-No, I don’t wanna go home... I haven’t finished watching yet."
"You can watch at home."
Without another word, Fei Yan swept her up into his arms, holding her by the waist. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Someone came over and asked, "Excuse me, would you like us to provide a change of clothes for the Female?"
Fei Yan glanced at Su Mo’s soiled dress, nodded, and took out a pouch from his waist to hand over. "As quickly as possible, please."
The person chuckled, accepted it, and led him to a private room. "Please wait a moment."
An attendant brought in a basin of warm water, saying, "Her shoes and socks are all wet. Washing her feet will make her more comfortable."
Fei Yan thanked the attendant, who considerately closed the door for them on the way out.
He leaned Su Mo against the headboard and gently helped her remove her shoes and socks.
Then, he took her slender ankle in his hand and placed her foot into the basin.
The delicate texture of her skin in his palm made Fei Yan’s heart race uncontrollably.
Her feet were fair and delicate, her toes a faint, lovely pink. They looked adorable.
He took a deep breath, stopping himself from letting his thoughts run wild.
The sudden warmth made Su Mo groggily open her eyes.
In her blurry vision, a man as handsome as a banished immortal was crouching before her.
Sensing her gaze, Fei Yan looked up at her.
Through the rising steam, his cool, placid eyes gazed at her quietly, an undisguised emotion in their depths.
’My wife’s eyes are beautiful, dazzling and captivating. Looking into them makes one feel an uncontrollable sense of joy.’
Su Mo was drunk. At this moment, she had completely forgotten that the man before her was the villain she wanted to get away from.
She squinted, reached out to cup his face, her delicate fingers tracing over his eyebrows, his eyes, his nose.
"Where did you come from, handsome? How can you be so ridiculously charming?"
Fei Yan’s deep eyes met hers. His voice was soft. "Yours."
"Mine?" Su Mo pointed drunkenly at herself. "Belongs to... my family? How come I didn’t know?!"
The next second, she drunkenly leaned in close, squinting as she asked, "Since you belong to my family, then... it wouldn’t be too much to ask for a kiss, right...?"
Fei Yan froze, turning his head to look.
He saw Su Mo’s slightly flushed face, her clear eyes, tinged with drunkenness, gazing at him, the depths of her watery gaze utterly pure.
Her moist lips were slightly parted as she stared at him in a daze.
Drunk as she was, the unguarded look in her eyes was impossible to refuse.
A single glance was enough to send his heart into turmoil.
"Wife, do you know what you’re saying?"
Su Mo squinted, smiled, and shook her head slightly. "Who... is Wife?"
Fei Yan grabbed her wrist. The heat of his own palm frightened him.
Su Mo struggled uncomfortably and laughed dazedly. "I-I was just kidding... If you don’t want a kiss, then fine."
With a surge of strength, Fei Yan lifted her from the edge of the bed.
He turned and set her down on the nearby vanity, trapping her. He raised a hand to her cheek, forcing her to look at him.
"Momo... do you like me?"
"Have you ever felt even the slightest bit of affection for me? Even just a little would be enough for Fei Yan..."
He lowered his head, pressing it against hers, their breaths instantly tangling.
Fei Yan suppressed his body’s primal desires and coaxed her in a low voice, "Let’s not break off the engagement, alright? I like you ten parts, you only need to give one part in return... If you’re not even willing to give one part, that’s fine too. I just beg you, please stop thinking about breaking off the engagement, okay?"
