Free Web NovelChapter 79: Chapter 77: Candidate for Main Husband
Having found something useful, Su Mo quickly stored the items in her System Space.
Little Nine laughed. "Looks like those guys aren’t so dumb after all; they finally found their way here. Tsk, Young Master Snake and the fox are really sparing no effort to win your favor. Are they here to rescue you, or to flirt?"
Su Mo nodded. "Don’t be so surprised. They’re the main villains of the original novel, after all; their brains are still switched on. Why can’t they fight that Reincarnator and flirt with me at the same time?"
"Host, have you ever heard the saying? When someone falls in love, their IQ drops to zero—or even into the negatives. I’m afraid you’re going to slow them down~"
Su Mo was speechless. "You’re really underestimating the villains from the original novel. It’s not that serious." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"Host, when exactly are we going to break out of here? Tomorrow is the deadline Jin Tong gave you. If you can’t cure his poison and we can’t escape, we’re probably going to be toast..."
Su Mo mulled it over for a moment. ’With the sedatives I have on hand, it wouldn’t be hard to drug everyone in this village. The tricky parts are Jin Tong and his high-Level Beastman bodyguards.’
"But how are you going to drug them? That guy in black is extremely sharp~ Besides, you’re trapped in here. It’s not like you can just waltz out and get to work~"
Su Mo glanced out of the corner of her eye at the young Beastman outside. An idea was already forming.
Su Mo’s brow furrowed. "Tomorrow night, at the latest!"
Little Nine shrieked in panic, "That won’t work, Host! The three-day deadline is up tomorrow afternoon! Are you sure we’ll even be alive tomorrow night???"
"I’ll figure out a way to stall that bastard for half a day. If things go smoothly, we might even be able to move up the schedule. Best to have two plans ready."
Little Nine asked worriedly, "I just hope the guys outside can coordinate perfectly. There’s no room for error, or we’re still dead..."
"What’s all this talk about dying! Weren’t you the one who said I’m blessed with good fortune and will be fine? Just wait, when I get out of here, I’ll treat you to the good life!"
Little Nine: "Yeah, yeah, let’s hope so..."
"It’s a certainty!"
Just as Su Mo finished her conversation with Little Nine, the voice of the Little Beastman came from outside. "Miss Su, your wild vegetable mush is here!"
He quickly opened the door and came in. Su Mo glanced over. ’Well now,’ she thought, ’today’s breakfast is much more lavish than last night’s dinner.’
His attitude was a complete reversal from before. He even leaned in and asked considerately, "If you need anything, just tell me quietly. I’ll help you get it!"
Su Mo narrowed her eyes. "Thanks, kid. You can head out for now. I’ll call you when I’m finished."
Little Nine’s voice piped up in her mind. ’When you mentioned people whose IQs drop to zero when they fall in love, I guess this is the type you meant?’
Su Mo raised an eyebrow in rebuttal. ’He’s a classic case of a lovesick fool who throws his brain out the window. He hasn’t even won the girl over, and he’s already lost his mind. A Beastman like that could never become a main husband, even if he did manage to succeed.’
Little Nine then asked, ’So, in your heart, Host, who’s the top candidate for main husband?’
Su Mo froze.
’My top candidate for main husband... Jeez, that question is really putting me on the spot... Those guys, hmm... they’re a handful!’
Instantly, the men standing outside the wall all froze, listening with rapt attention. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Little Nine’s brow furrowed. ’Is it really that hard? I think they’re all great, just pick one! You’ve really been spoiled for choice lately, haven’t you? Now you’re getting picky?’
’What the hell do you know? A main husband isn’t someone you can just pick randomly! If I choose wrong, won’t he have me completely under his thumb?!’
Little Nine: ’Fine, then tell me your requirements. If I detect a more perfect candidate later, I’ll recommend him! Your ultimate goal is to marry a hundred of them anyway! Gotta keep all the good stuff for yourself, right?’
’...You’re so shameless! Even more shameless than me!!!’
Little Nine declared shamelessly, ’Of course! Like master, like system! The student has surpassed the master. You should be happy about this, Host!’
’You’re getting more and more shameless... It’s more ridiculous every single day!’
Little Nine: ’Hurry up and tell me your requirements!’
Su Mo raised an eyebrow. ’First of all, his Combat Power has to be high enough, right?’
Hearing this, Little Nine’s eyes widened. ’Mo Xiao has the highest Level right now. He fits that bill!’
Hearing this, Mo Xiao’s eyes lit up outside, a flicker of joy appearing in their dark depths.
At his side, Yue Ying secretly ground his teeth, while Ye Yuan pursed his lips.
Fei Yan, however, looked as serene as ever, maintaining his cool, jade-like composure.
Su Mo continued, ’He can’t be too domineering. It’d be best if he’s gentle, attentive, and understanding.’
Little Nine: ’On that point, the High Priest seems like a better fit!’
Su Mo shook her head again. ’And it would be best if he knows how to cheer me up now and then.’
’That fox can definitely do that!’
Su Mo frowned. ’Can’t there be one person who has all of these qualities?’
’Tch, you woman who wants it all! How can one person be so greedy...’
Even Little Nine, a system, felt the urge to start cursing. Those demands were even more outrageous than wanting to marry a hundred men!!!
Outside the wall, Yue Ying smiled with delight. He felt he still had the potential to become the main husband! After all, not only was he gentle, but he also knew how to make his wife happy. As for Combat Power... that wasn’t a big problem if he trained hard later on!
Ye Yuan wasn’t nearly as happy. He was a Mermaid; his Combat Power wasn’t the highest, nor did he know how to make his wife happy. In fact, he was the one who’d needed his wife to comfort him before...
SOB, it’s over!!!
With a long, mournful face, he walked toward a small grove of trees.
Lord Jian Yi saw the young Mermaid prince approaching from a distance. Noticing his strange expression, he asked with concern, "Did something happen to Miss Su?"
Ye Yuan shook his head, his shoulders slumped. "My wife... she doesn’t like me. She likes someone with high Combat Power, who’s gentle and charming, and who knows how to make her happy... I don’t have any of those qualities. Lord Jian Yi, what should I do?"
Jiao Li let out a sigh.
There were a thousand things he could have said, but in the end, they all amounted to one thing: "Let’s wait until Miss Su is out before we discuss this."
He didn’t believe that Miss Su could truly dislike His Highness. Even if she had changed somewhat, given her own circumstances, matching with a Beast Husband like His Highness was already hitting the absolute jackpot.
What worried him was that His Highness had never, from start to finish, understood his own true feelings.
He had been a well-behaved Little Beastman his whole life, always doing what he was told. Even when the idea was proposed to cancel his engagement to Su Mo, he hadn’t raised any objections.
But ever since his last trip to the North Wing, where he met Miss Su again, everything seemed to have changed.
Even the most ordinary thing can easily spark a possessive desire in someone’s heart once others start fighting for it.
「Meanwhile, on Su Mo’s end」
Jin Tong came to her room after he finished breakfast.
Su Mo gave him the newly developed Detoxification Pill. He didn’t take it right away, but simply took it and left.
As he left, he made sure to instruct the attendant Little Beastman at the door: "Unless there’s an emergency, you don’t need to interact with her."
The Little Beastman, head bowed, replied, "Yes, Sect Leader."
The man said nothing more and went to his own room with the pill.
Su Mo knew he had taken the pill to study it.
’That bastard,’ she thought. ’He’s so damn cautious.’
Little Nine: ’Host, he’s not going to figure something out, is he?’
’I only added a tiny amount. He won’t notice anything for a while.’
’We should still focus on getting out of here quickly! If we wait until he finds out, we’re definitely dead!’
Su Mo’s eyes crinkled into a smile. "Don’t worry. By the time he figures it out, I’ll be long gone from this dump!"
