Free Web NovelChapter 52: Chapter 50: Using the Handsome Man Stratagem
"Mmph—!!!"
With Yue Ying’s hand clamped over her mouth, Su Mo couldn’t get a single word out.
’This damn fox must be going into heat. After dinner, I’m going to find a way to get rid of him!’
Yue Ying’s eyes crinkled in a carefree smile.
No matter what, he was going to stay in her bed tonight and give her a healthy dose of his ’handsome man’ stratagem~ freewebnσvel.cøm
Nearby, Cang Lan watched his struggling wife, hesitating over whether to help her.
Yue Ying shot him a cool glance, and Cang Lan nonchalantly averted his gaze.
’Beast Husband Second Rule: Friendship and Solidarity!’
By the time Su Mo and the others returned to the kitchen, Long Yan’s attendants had already finished stir-frying the remaining wild herbs for her.
Seeing her return, the two Little Dragons exclaimed excitedly, "Sister Mo, it’s time to eat!"
Before they started eating, Su Mo had Cang Lan deliver a portion to Fei Yan and Mo Xiao.
’That smelly snake is injured, after all. He needs some nutrients.’
Carrying the meal she had packed, Cang Lan dashed toward the prison at the speed of light.
As it happened, the prison attendants had just brought Mo Xiao and Fei Yan their lunch. Staring at the food before them, neither had much of an appetite.
They had to admit, their wife’s cooking had spoiled their palates.
Fei Yan picked up a chicken leg from the plate, took a bite, and forced himself to swallow.
The next second, he heard voices at the door, and then he saw Cang Lan walking toward them, carrying something.
"Our wife had me bring this for you."
Fei Yan and Mo Xiao hadn’t known he had also come to the Dragon Clan, so they were naturally a bit surprised to see him.
But they figured he must have come after hearing about Mo Xiao’s predicament.
Fei Yan took the food and asked, "Is our wife okay?"
"Mhm." Cang Lan then recounted everything that had just happened in detail.
Upon learning that Ye Yuan had also come to the Dragon Clan and had even met their wife, Fei Yan and Mo Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly.
’Who would have thought a trip to the Dragon Clan would actually speed up her meeting with the other two?’
But it was bound to happen sooner or later. After a few seconds of surprise, they accepted it calmly.
They were all their wife’s fiancés, destined to become one family eventually.
Fei Yan said to Cang Lan, "You should go back and eat. Don’t keep our wife waiting."

When Cang Lan returned, Su Mo had already arranged the seating.
As the host, Long Yan naturally sat in the seat of honor, with the two Little Dragons seated in order to his left.
Su Mo was placed by the two little ones on Long Yan’s right.
Yue Ying promptly sat down next to Su Mo. He felt those two little ones were up to no good and that he had to be on his guard.
Cang Lan sat beside Yue Ying.
Once everyone was present, Su Mo smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Let’s eat!"
The two Little Dragons enthusiastically recommended Su Mo’s specialty dishes to Long Yan. "Lord Major General, you have to try these Lion’s Head Meatballs!"
"These sweet and sour pork ribs are delicious too~"
"And the spicy fish fillets are amazing~"
In no time, Long Yan’s bowl was piled high like a small mountain. He tried a piece of the ribs, and his eyes widened slightly in pleasant surprise.
They were indeed far more fragrant than the roasted ribs he usually ate.
The fish fillets were tender and smooth, their spicy and sour flavor whetting his appetite.
Even the vegetables were refreshingly crisp.
No wonder the two little ones had been clamoring to eat Su Mo’s cooking for the past two days.
Long Yan swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Su Mo, saying sincerely, "This is delicious!"
Su Mo’s eyes curved into crescents. "If you like it, please have some more."
Beside her, Yue Ying glanced over. Seeing the specks of starlight sparkling in the dragon’s eyes, he secretly ground his back teeth.
It was also Cang Lan’s first time eating Su Mo’s cooking, and he simply couldn’t stop. He had no mind for anything else.
’My wife is just too amazing!’ he thought with a swell of pride.
The attendants to the side were also eating with great relish, praising the food endlessly.
After the meal, Su Mo took Yue Ying and Cang Lan back to their quarters.
As they were leaving, the two Little Dragons stuffed some fresh wild fruits they had picked from the mountains into her hands.
Su Mo accepted them with thanks and then left.
Outside the main gate, they ran into the Think Tank, who had come looking for Long Yan. The three of them greeted him.
The Think Tank turned and swept his gaze over Su Mo and her two fiancés, his brow furrowing slightly.
Before the Think Tank could even get close, he heard the attendants washing dishes outside discussing the female named Su Mo.
"Miss Su’s cooking is really something else~ Those ribs were so good!"
"Not only is her food delicious, but her personality is super nice too! No wonder the two Little Dragons like her so much!"
"I heard her medical skills are amazing too. She can even cure the poison of a Beast Binding Pill! It’s no surprise her fiancés are so devoted to her."
"..."
The Think Tank frowned. ’Su Mo managed to win over everyone around the Lord Major General with just a single meal?’
’This woman is far from simple.’
When he reached the kitchen entrance, he heard the two Little Dragons talking to Long Yan about Su Mo.
Dongdong: "Lord Major General, isn’t Sister Mo really capable?"
Nannan: "She’s more capable than most of the females in our tribe, right? No, I think if she were a female from our tribe, she’d definitely be the most capable one of all!"
Long Yan smiled and nodded. After all, you couldn’t find a single female in their tribe whose medical skills surpassed the Witch Doctor’s.
Seeing him nod, Nannan couldn’t help but ask with a grin, "In that case, Lord Major General, do you like females like Sister Mo?"
Dongdong: "A debt for saving a life should be repaid with one’s body! So why don’t you, Lord Major General..." freёwebnovel.com
Long Yan froze, not having a chance to speak.
Just then, a voice came from outside. "What nonsense are you two spouting now!"
The Think Tank walked over with a grim expression, looking at the loose-tongued Little Dragons. "What are you pestering the Lord Major General with now? Get out of here, quickly!"
The two Little Dragons pouted and walked out with their heads bowed.
After they left, the Think Tank looked at Long Yan and said, "Lord Major General, don’t be swayed by their nonsense. Children just like to spout gibberish."
’That female, Su Mo, may have decent medical skills, but she is from the North Wing Tribe.’
’Inter-tribal marriages have been troublesome since ancient times. Besides, that Su Mo already has several fiancés; her choice for main husband has likely been decided long ago.’
’So this matter is completely impossible.’
Long Yan smiled nonchalantly. "Think Tank, you’re overthinking things. They were just talking casually."

Back in her quarters, Su Mo gave tasks to both Yue Ying and Cang Lan before going to bed.
It wasn’t long before she fell into a deep sleep.
She was completely unaware of a figure flashing across the rooftop. The man, clad in black with his face covered by a cloth, lifted a roof tile and peered through the small opening.
The woman on the bed slept in a lazy, casual posture. Her face really couldn’t be called pretty. A trace of disdain surfaced in his dark pupils.
’I don’t know what those guys even see in this woman.’
He blew some medicinal powder into the room, replaced the tile over the small hole, and then departed with agile movements, arriving in a small grove.
Another man in black, also masked, was standing there. He was in the middle of tying up a gagged female.
"Sect Leader, she actually disobeyed you and tried to find someone to buy medicine from the North Wing Black Market!"
The man yanked the gag from Ah Yun’s mouth and snarled, "Are you trying to die?!"
Ah Yun looked at him in terror. "I’m trying to buy medicine precisely because I don’t want to die! That woman said I’ll succumb to the poison and die in three days! The North Wing Black Market has the antidote for the Gu Worm in my body!"
The man’s brow furrowed. He said coldly, "Idiot! I already told you, she was bluffing! There is no Gu Worm!"
That female, Su Mo, had her Beast Husband fiancé deliberately spread the news that the North Wing Black Market had an antidote for the Gu Worm, all to wait for an idiot like Ah Yun to walk right into her trap!
’I can’t believe she’s actually this brainless.’
