Free Web NovelChapter 44: Chapter 42: What the Heck? Flirting With Me?
The young Dragon Clan Beastmen dancing tonight were all quite outstanding members of the tribe.
The Females present had undisguised admiration in their eyes. The bolder ones would directly express their feelings.
The even bolder ones would approach Long Yan with wine to flirt with him. After all, as the Lord Major General, his looks and physique were second to none.
His marriage was still undecided, and the Females of the tribe had been coveting him for a long time.
Who would have thought that a single glance from Long Yan would be enough to send them scurrying away in fright?
The two Little Dragons beside him even bared their teeth at those reckless Females.
Watching this scene gave the Think Tank a headache. He had practically watched Long Yan grow up. Although he always liked to say the Lord Major General was a blockhead, deep down, he knew better than anyone that the Lord Major General was simple, not stupid. How could a true idiot be invincible in battle after battle?
But as soon as he was off the battlefield, the boy acted as if he’d left his brain at home. He had been an adult for a long time, yet he had absolutely no interest in romance.
Although there were few Females in the tribe, there was no shortage of young and beautiful ones. The Think Tank had tried to play matchmaker a few times, but his efforts always came to nothing.
The mere thought of it made the elderly Think Tank’s head ache.
It wasn’t just the Dragon Clan Beastmen’s dance that was eye-catching tonight; the three men by Su Mo’s side were also drawing a lot of attention with their outstanding looks.
The Dragon Clan Females looked at Su Mo’s face with disdain.
’With a face like that,’ they thought, ’it would be nearly impossible for her to find a young, capable, and handsome Beastman in our tribe.’
But the three men sitting beside her were top-tier, even by Dragon Clan standards. The strange thing was, all three of them seemed to treasure her?
Could it be that there were really no decent-looking Females left in the North Wing Tribe?
’Maybe we could...’
As this thought crossed their minds, their imaginations began to run wild.
However, since Su Mo was the Lord Major General’s honored guest, no one dared to make a rash move.
They could only admire the three men’s handsome faces with impunity.
Still, it would be a wonderful thing if such handsome Beastmen could be persuaded to stay in their tribe.
Su Mo was still thinking about the hot spring bath that evening, so she didn’t notice the gazes coming from all directions.
Fei Yan and the others had long grown tired of those nauseating stares, but since they were brazenly crashing the party, they couldn’t let their impatience show on their faces.
Su Mo squinted, enjoying the singing and dancing, while thinking, ’When we go to the hot springs, should I get a swimsuit out? It’d be best to bring one for Long Yan and each of the two Little Dragons, too.’
’It has to be one of those form-fitting ones that can fully show off the Lord Major General’s perfect body~ Oh god, that image would make my blood boil in a second. I can’t think about it. If I keep thinking about it, I’m going to get a nosebleed!’
Beside her, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan silently ground their teeth.
Yue Ying wasn’t doing any better. He suppressed his jealousy, picked up the cup of wine in front of him, and downed it in one gulp.
Then he poured another cup and walked over to Su Mo.
He squinted his long, narrow fox-like eyes and gave a bewitching smile.
Leaning in close, he lowered his head and asked softly, "On such a beautiful night, won’t you have a drink with me, Momo?"
"..."
Su Mo gave him a suspicious look, then smiled. "I think I’ll pass. It would be bad if I got drunk and made a fool of myself. We’re not at home, after all, right?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
’Are you kidding me? I want to go to the hot springs tonight. How can I drink?!’
’This damned fox is trying to trick me again. I absolutely cannot fall for it!’
Yue Ying’s eyes crinkled in a smile. "How could you? My wife can hold her liquor. How could one small cup get you drunk?"
With that, he brought the cup to Su Mo’s lips. "Or does Momo want to link arms and drink with me? I would look forward to that very much~"
Su Mo’s eyes widened in shock. She instinctively opened her mouth to say, ’Have you gone mad, speaking so brazenly?!’
Before she could get the words out, Yue Ying took the opportunity to pour the wine into her mouth. Then, he reached out and gently pinched her earlobe.
Su Mo felt a tickle on her ear, subconsciously swallowed the wine in her mouth, and turned her head to dodge.
Yue Ying hid the calculating glint in his eyes and smiled gently. "So obedient~ Was it good? Should Yue Ying feed his wife another cup?"
Su Mo shivered in fear and gave an awkward laugh. "N-No, thank you!"
’Has this fox gone crazy? Why is he always so weird?!’
The harsh, spicy taste in her mouth was unpleasant. This was hard liquor, not one of her RIOs.
She grabbed a chicken leg from the table and took a bite, then ate a red fruit to wash away the spicy taste.
Resting her chin on her hand, she squinted and continued watching the Beastmen’s song and dance.
’It’s just one cup. I won’t get drunk! But I should still pretend to be a little tipsy. If I have another one, I’m not so sure~’
’I absolutely must see Long Yan in a swimsuit today!!!’
"Hah!"
Mo Xiao, sitting beside her, let out a short laugh, his heart churning with jealousy.
’What part of my body is inferior to that stupid dragon’s? I’m trying so hard to get her attention, but her eyes are still only on that damn dragon.’
Across from them, the Think Tank’s worldly eyes had already taken in every single move.
’It seems that Miss Su’s fiancés really do treasure her. The way they vie for her affection out of jealousy... I saw plenty of that in my youth. How could I not recognize it?’
Moreover, he had just sent someone to inquire. These three were the most outstanding among the young Beastmen of the North Wing Tribe.
That Mo Xiao was the Young Master Snake, first-rate in character, appearance, and ability.
That Fei Yan was the North Wing High Priest, who also held some power.
As for the fox, he heard that he controlled the black market, and it seemed the leader of their own black market had some dealings with him.
’Come to think of it, Miss Su’s fiancés are all quite capable.’
’Is it just because she’s skilled in medicine that these men are willing to stay by her side?’
’But when a Beastman seeks a Female Master, the most important thing is procreation. This Miss Su looks frailer than any Female in our tribe. How will she bear offspring in the future?’
When the song and dance ended, Su Mo was inwardly hoping for the dinner to finish quickly.
While eating roasted suckling pig, she called up the panel in her mind and started browsing for swimsuits in the System Mall.
She chose a V-neck one with a skirt. Su Mo was self-aware; after all, with her figure, there wasn’t much to show off...
For the two Little Dragons, she’d just pick some cute children’s styles.
As for Long Yan, she had to choose very carefully!
’Ooh~ For Long Yan’s swimsuit, should I pick a solid color or a leopard print? Whoa~ They even have... a transparent one! I’m dead!!!’
Little Nine’s voice piped up at the right moment. "Are you satisfied with the products in the System Mall, Host? Awaiting your praise~"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow. "Your System Mall is really daring! I love it!"
Little Nine sounded excited. "So you want the transparent one? Ah!!!"
Su Mo: "...Why do I get the feeling you’re even more of a pervert than I am?!"
Little Nine: "I don’t care, I don’t care! It’s a crime not to look at the good stuff! Pick it!"
Su Mo was speechless. "Just shut up, will you! Even if I dared to pick it, he’d have to dare to wear it..."
Sitting behind her, Yue Ying was grinding his molars so hard they nearly shattered.
Fei Yan could barely maintain the expression on his face.
Although they didn’t know what this ’swimsuit’ their wife was talking about was, their intuition told them it was nothing good!
’But what is this System Mall? I’ll have to look into it later.’
Mo Xiao, however, was a little calmer now.
He leisurely poured a cup of wine and offered it to Su Mo.
In a calm tone, he said, "Wife, let me toast you as well."
His voice suddenly pulled Su Mo back to reality.
She looked at the wine in front of her and shook her head instinctively.
’No, I absolutely cannot drink anymore! If I do, I’ll really get drunk!!!’
Before she could speak, Mo Xiao’s snake tail suddenly coiled around her waist.
The next second, he pressed his body against hers, wrapping an arm around her slender waist.
He leaned close to her ear and asked in a soft, drunken-sounding voice, "Do you want me to feed it to you, like Yue Ying did?"
’Didn’t she think he was drunk? Fine, he would act drunk for her.’
The snake tail rubbed gently against her waist, and Su Mo could feel the temperature of the person beside her gradually rising.
Su Mo looked at the unusual flush on his face and forced an embarrassed smile. "M-Mo Xiao, are you drunk?"
Mo Xiao didn’t answer. A watery sheen glistened in his deep eyes, and his gaze on her seemed to melt.
"You drank Yue Ying’s wine, so you have to drink mine. Or would my wife prefer to be fed in a different way?"
With that, he took a sip of the wine and leaned down, pretending he was about to kiss her.
’It’s over, it’s over, this damn snake really seems to be drunk! If you’re drunk, go to sleep! What’s with the flirting with me?’
Su Mo struggled, trying to get away, but the damn snake had her wrapped too tightly...
In her haste, she ducked her head and drank the wine from his cup.
Then, squinting, she endured the burning sensation in her throat and asked, "There, is that good enough!"
The snake tail around her waist suddenly loosened. Mo Xiao’s lips curved slightly. "Thank you for honoring me, wife."
Maybe it was Su Mo’s imagination, but she felt as if his eyes had suddenly become clear.
’Was he drunk just now, or not?!’
Before she could figure it out, her head started to spin.
Su Mo held her forehead, unconsciously mumbling, "So annoying, so sleepy~"
Her elbow slipped, and she nearly fell face-first onto the table.
Fortunately, Mo Xiao reached out in time to catch her head. Then, he swept the drunken girl into his arms and walked toward Long Yan.
Fei Yan and Yue Ying, who were beside them, also got up and followed.
Mo Xiao’s voice was deep. "I’m sorry, our wife is a lightweight and can’t continue drinking with the Lord Major General. May I ask where the guest rooms are? We’ll be taking our leave."
Long Yan looked at Su Mo, who was already passed out drunk in Mo Xiao’s arms.
Her cheeks were flushed, and she was mumbling something under her breath. She looked rather cute.
’This Miss Su really seems to be a poor drinker.’
Mo Xiao shifted his arm slightly, completely hiding Su Mo’s face in his embrace.
Long Yan snapped back to his senses and called an attendant to lead them to the guest rooms.
The man bowed respectfully. "Please follow me."
Mo Xiao thanked him and left with the girl in his arms.
Fei Yan and Yue Ying followed close behind.
Long Yan stared blankly in the direction they disappeared.
The Think Tank glanced at him, his eyes narrowing slightly.
