Free Web NovelChapter 50: Chapter 48: Mermaid Beast Husband
After Yue Ying and Cang Lan left, Su Mo took out some ingredients from her System Space.
The Dragon Clan’s staple food was mainly roasted meat. Su Mo had found last night’s roasted meat dinner to be incredibly greasy, and there was no way she was eating that stuff again today.
She took out wild vegetables, mushrooms, and potatoes, setting them aside, then retrieved a piece of pork from the System Laboratory.
Just as Su Mo was about to carry these things to find a Dragon Clan guard and ask to borrow a kitchen, two Little Dragons came running over, PATTER PATTER PATTER.
They were carrying a few fish and some other game.
Dongdong’s eyes lit up as he looked at the items in Su Mo’s hands. "Sister Mo, Nannan and I just went hunting for you. Are you going to cook? Then you can cook these too~"
Su Mo smiled at them, her eyes crinkling. She took the things from Nannan’s hands and asked, "What’s this? Is your Lord Major General not even planning to provide lunch?"
"That’s not it!" Nannan shook his little head and explained eagerly, "Actually... we want to eat food made by Sister Mo! Sister Mo’s cooking is the best in the world!"
Dongdong’s big, round eyes darted to the ingredients in Su Mo’s hands. "Since Sister Mo is planning to cook, could you make a portion for us too?"
With that, the two Little Dragons reached out and started shaking Su Mo’s arm. "Please~?"
"It’s not a problem if you want to freeload, but first, you have to help me find a kitchen."
"We’ll take you to the Lord Major General’s private kitchen!"
Nannan and Dongdong happily led Su Mo over.
When Long Yan was seeing the Lord Think Tank out, he saw the two Little Dragons ushering Su Mo toward his private kitchen.
A nearby attendant explained, "Nannan and Dongdong said that Miss Su wishes to borrow your kitchen."
Long Yan nodded without a word, his calm gaze falling on Su Mo’s retreating figure.
The Think Tank at his side frowned. "Lord Major General, you shouldn’t spoil those two little attendants so much. It seems their trip outside has made them a bit lawless."
’Bringing just anyone into the kitchen... what if something goes wrong? After all, the Lord Major General’s daily meals are prepared in there. It would be all too easy for someone with ill intentions to cause trouble.’
Hearing this, Long Yan just said nonchalantly, "Lord Think Tank, you worry too much."
The Think Tank had wanted to say more, but the Lord Major General clearly wasn’t in the mood to listen, so he decided to drop it.
He sighed. "The Lord Major General has had a tiring morning. You should go inside and rest for a bit. I’ll be taking my leave now."
The moment the Think Tank turned to leave, Long Yan started walking toward the kitchen.
Hearing footsteps, he couldn’t help but glance back.
Then he frowned and shook his head helplessly. ’That Miss Su is truly skilled at winning people over.’
’Once the matter with her fiancé is resolved, we must have them leave the Dragon Clan Tribe as quickly as possible.’ freewёbnoνel.com

Yue Ying dragged Cang Lan out. After taking care of the task Su Mo had given them, they went to the entrance to meet Ye Yuan.
The two Dragon Clan guards responsible for monitoring them were watching their every move from a short distance away.
Yue Ying explained the morning’s events to Ye Yuan. Upon hearing that the Beast Binding Pill on Mo Xiao had been removed, Ye Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
Then he asked in surprise, "Is our wife’s medical skill that incredible?"
His clear eyes held a trace of astonishment, as well as a hint of pleasant surprise and pride.
Yue Ying nodded. "It’s decent."
’If it were anyone but a love rival standing before him, he would have praised his wife to the heavens. But since he was talking to a rival, he had to be on his guard.’
Ye Yuan asked expectantly in a low voice, "Where is our wife? Can... can I see her?"
The hand Yue Ying was using to wave his fan paused. His foxy eyes darted. "Our wife is a bit busy. Besides, it wouldn’t be good for all five of us to be trapped in the Dragon Clan’s territory. You should stay outside. If anything happens, it’ll be more convenient for you to provide support."
Yue Ying felt more than capable of handling this Mermaid from the East Sea. Ye Yuan had been pampered by all the Beastman in the sea since he was little; he was quite simple-minded and incredibly easy to fool.
Hearing this, Ye Yuan sounded a little disappointed. "But, I just want to see her for a moment. I brought her some gifts."
As he spoke, he pulled a large bag out from behind him, his eyes crinkling with pride. "These are all my greatest treasures from the bottom of the sea. Have our wife come out and pick some."
The corner of Yue Ying’s mouth twitched. He suspected this kid was here to flaunt his wealth. Before he could speak...
Cang Lan, standing beside him, said coolly, "Our wife probably doesn’t like these things."
"Huh?!" Ye Yuan’s light blue eyes widened in astonishment, his voice full of disbelief. "How could that be? These are all treasures from the sea!"
Cang Lan shook his head, his expression serious. "Our wife likes abs."
"..." freeweɓnøvel.com
Yue Ying took his fan and, WHACK, smacked the leopard on the head.
He shot Cang Lan a resentful glare. ’Why do you just blurt everything out? You think we don’t have enough rivals?!’
Ye Yuan’s light blue pupils were filled with excitement.
’Our wife likes abs?’
’He had those too!’
’Such a simple preference—he could satisfy that!’
So he asked Cang Lan excitedly, "Is our wife really that busy? I really want to see her..."
He hadn’t seen his wife since they parted in the small forest last time. The thought of her roasting them made Ye Yuan incredibly curious.
"She’s not busy now." Cang Lan, the straightforward black leopard, had always been the type to say whatever was on his mind and was also exceedingly helpful.
"I’ll go get her for you!"
With that, he was gone like a gust of wind.
"You!"
Yue Ying gritted his teeth as he watched Cang Lan’s retreating back. ’That brainless leopard... Unbelievable...’
Cang Lan quickly found Su Mo in the kitchen and briefly told her what was happening at the entrance.
Su Mo’s expression froze. ’My Mermaid fiancé is here too? And he’s asking for me by name? You’ve got to be kidding. I barely even know him!!!’
"Why does he want to see me? Didn’t you explain Mo Xiao’s situation to him clearly?"
Cang Lan said with a perfectly straight face, "He misses you."
Su Mo: "..."
’This leopard... does he know how terrifying the things he says are? I don’t know that Mermaid at all...’
Cang Lan: "Wife, he also brought you gifts! This many!" Cang Lan gestured to show her the size.
"Gifts?!"
’If that Mermaid is this thoughtful, then I’ve got to go see him! I have to see what treasures from the bottom of the sea look like, right?!’
"Well, let’s go!"
The moment Su Mo finished speaking, she felt a sudden tightness around her waist. Cang Lan wrapped an arm around her and shot out like a gale.
A moment later, the two of them arrived at the entrance.
Before Su Mo could even react, she felt a firm grip on her wrist. Yue Ying, who had been at her side, suddenly reached out and pulled her out of Cang Lan’s arms.
He then smoothly pulled her into his own embrace.
Cang Lan’s speed had been too fast. As a Female—and a sickly one weakened by a potent toxin at that—Su Mo’s physical stamina couldn’t keep up at all.
Right now, she just felt dizzy, the world spinning around her.
"Wife."
A strange, timid voice called out next to her ear.
When Su Mo came to her senses, she found herself looking into a pair of light blue eyes. Long, slender eyelashes cast delicate shadows on his eyelids.
His skin was so fair it was almost translucent, and his entire being was as exquisitely carved as a sculpture of ice and jade.
The few light blue scales at the corners of his eyes refracted the sunset into tiny, sparkling rays of light.
Ye Yuan’s gaze held a trace of inquiry, along with a hint of delight.
Su Mo recognized him. This was her Mermaid Beast Husband, Ye Yuan.
’Wow~ It was too dark last time, so I didn’t get a good look. This guy is way too handsome!’
