Free Web NovelChapter 96: Chapter 94: Going to the Tiger Clan Tribe
When Yue Ying and the other two arrived home.
Huang Ming was still there chatting with Su Mo. The Little Wolf Man, Fei Yun, squatted to the side, his glowing eyes fixed on their wife.
It was unexpected that after so many days away, the Little Wolf Man’s infatuation hadn’t subsided in the least.
Yue Ying, fanning himself, slowly walked over and struck up a conversation with the Little Wolf Man.
And then... in just a few words, he sent him away.
Though Fei Yun was reluctant to leave, he was ultimately too thin-skinned...
When Bai Chi returned to the Tiger Clan Tribe, the entire tribe was in shock.
After all, he had been missing for several days, and everyone in the tribe had feared the worst.
Seeing him return, the crowd couldn’t help but erupt into a wild celebration.
The excited cheers startled the three Xuan siblings inside the house.
Upon hearing that Bai Chi was back, the three of them quickly emerged from their rooms.
Xuan Shuang shouted to the man who had returned safe and sound, "General Bai!"
"Second Miss!"
Bai Chi walked over and bowed to the three of them, his gaze involuntarily sweeping past the two young ladies to the Third Young Master behind them.
’It’s a rare sight to see their noble and aloof young master actually at home.’
’No wonder so many young Females were gathered at the gate when I got back. Speaking of which, their Third Young Master’s looks are truly devastatingly handsome.’
’The Second Miss had said more than once that if her third brother were a woman, his looks alone would be an Ultimate Kill.’
After Bai Chi went inside, he recounted his recent ordeal.
Xuan Shuang frowned in confusion. "You’re saying a Witch Doctor from the North Wing saved you?"
Bai Chi nodded. "And his master."
Xuan Wei called Bai Chi over. After checking his pulse, she asked, "Who is his master?"
"Miss Su." Bai Chi continued, "The day Tian Huan went to get revenge on Jin Tong, he had a brief encounter with Miss Su’s fiancé, Young Master Snake. Today, Tian Huan even mentioned wanting to find a chance to visit personally and express his gratitude."
"It’s her?!" Xuan Shuang slammed the table excitedly. "Her fiancé, did he say if he was bringing that Miss Su with him?"
Bai Chi thought for a moment before shaking his head. "He only said he would come in person. I don’t know if Miss Su herself will come."
Hearing this, Xuan Shuang’s lips curled into a smile. "Then you rest for two days, make another trip to the North Wing, and personally invite that Miss Su here for me."
Bai Chi looked confused but still nodded. "Yes, Second Miss."
Xuan Qing, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly. "Second Sister!"
Xuan Shuang shot him a displeased look, her voice full of dominance. "You know me. When I want to see someone, I will see them. Since you can’t change my decision, there’s no need to say more!"
After Bai Chi left, Xuan Shuang asked, "Are you sure the poison in General Bai’s body has been neutralized?"
Xuan Wei nodded. "Mhm, he’s recovering quite well. It seems that Miss Su is quite capable. We both know how potent Jin Tong’s poisons are. For her to successfully use poison right under his nose, her own skills must be superior. It’s no wonder Jin Tong wanted to abduct her."
Xuan Qing said coldly, "I think she’s more than just ’capable.’ The captives brought back that day had traces of something like the Beast Binding Pill in their systems. This woman is cunning, manipulative, and quite treacherous. It’s best we don’t get too involved with her."
’After all, even if an ordinary woman knew how to make poison, how could she possibly poison all of her opponent’s men while they were under heavy guard?’
Xuan Qing felt it was unsafe to bring such a person to the Tiger Clan Tribe.
"When did you become so timid, afraid of every shadow? She’s the one coming to our Tiger Clan, it’s not like I’m going to the North Wing! I refuse to believe she can stir up trouble on our turf!"
After speaking, Xuan Shuang tilted her head to look at her frowning younger brother beside her and huffed, "If you don’t want to see her, you can just hide when she comes. No one is forcing you. Don’t try to persuade me again; it’s a waste of breath."
Xuan Qing pressed his thin lips together, ultimately said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Watching her brother’s departing back, Xuan Wei shook her head helplessly at Xuan Shuang. "Do you have to provoke him? You know he doesn’t like all this excitement and definitely won’t come to see those people. What was the point of that last comment?"
Xuan Shuang raised an eyebrow and smiled. "It seems First Sister still doesn’t understand our third brother well enough. Why don’t we make a bet? This time... he will definitely meet that Miss Su! I’ll wager my favorite Beast Skin Whip!"
Seeing her so certain, Xuan Wei was taken aback for a few seconds.
Then she laughed. "Don’t you dare try to back out when you lose to me! Your luck with bets has never been good, you know~"
Xuan Shuang said, full of confidence, "Don’t worry. I definitely won’t lose this time."
「North Wing.」
After Huang Ming left, Su Mo toured her new home.
’I never thought Cang Lan would be the type to be rough on the outside but thoughtful on the inside. The first floor is already finished and looks quite impressive.’
’Still, a few spots could be tweaked to make it even more perfect.’
’But there’s no rush. One step at a time.’
Su Mo raised her eyes and met Cang Lan’s sparkling, expectant gaze.
She smiled. "You’ve worked hard recently. I like it a lot."
Hearing this, the man opposite her couldn’t help but let his leopard ears pop out, his eyes full of excitement as he looked at her.
Cang Lan walked towards Su Mo and said in a low voice, "Wife, I missed you."
Su Mo’s eyes narrowed. ’He’s so well-behaved~ He’s practically wagging his tail~ I really want to pet his ears~’
Just as Su Mo thought this, the man in front of her took a step closer.
She reached out her hand...
’Oh man, he’s too tall. I can’t quite reach...’
For some reason, it was a little awkward.
The next second, Su Mo was swept up into Cang Lan’s arms. He held her up and said, a little embarrassed, "Pet..."
Su Mo gently pinched his ear, her eyes narrowing into slits with pleasure.
’So fluffy, so nice to pet~ It feels great! He’d be amazing for warming the bed in winter!’
Cang Lan’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "We can do it tonight!"
"Huh?"
Su Mo froze and looked down at him.
’What is he talking about? What does he mean, "we can do it tonight"? I don’t think I asked him anything, did I?’
’Don’t tell me he has a superpower too?!’
Su Mo looked at Cang Lan suspiciously. "Are you hiding something from me?"
Cang Lan’s eyes went wide as he shook his head.
But his face was an open book, and right now, his eyes were screaming ’guilty’...
Su Mo pinched the tip of his ear. "Really? Nothing?"
Cang Lan suddenly froze, his whole face turning bright red.
"W-Wife wants~"
Su Mo: "..."
’What’s gotten into him all of a sudden?~’
Startled, Su Mo quickly let go of his ear and hopped down from his arms.
"Wife... I want a kiss."
Cang Lan grabbed her wrist, blinking his dark eyes at her. His gaze was full of undisguised desire... more intense than any of the looks she’d seen from him before.
’I don’t think he wants to kiss me, he wants to eat me! No way, I’m so skinny... there’s not enough of me to be a meal...’
"Dinner’s ready!"
Yue Ying’s voice rang out just in time. Su Mo spun around and fled as if escaping.
Although it had been a while since they cooked, Yue Ying and Fei Yan’s culinary skills had actually improved quite a bit.
This came as a big surprise to Su Mo.
Cang Lan sat down next to her and kept putting food in her bowl. "Wife, eat!"
Su Mo stared speechlessly at the mountain of food piled in her bowl. "Are you... trying to stuff me to death?"
Cang Lan shook his head, a look of innocence on his face. "I want you to put on some more meat."
’So you’ll be more of a mouthful.’
He didn’t dare say that last part out loud.
Because Yue Ying was glaring at him from across the table...
After dinner, Su Mo went to wash the dishes.
When she finished, she saw the white cat squatting by the roadside.
Su Mo paused. Wasn’t this the white cat the two Little Dragons had rescued?
’Has it been here this whole time?’
Su Mo frowned. "Why haven’t you left? Didn’t I tell you to leave after your injuries healed?"
The white cat sat motionless with its tail curled around itself, as if it didn’t understand her at all. Or perhaps, as if it couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge her.
Su Mo turned her head, deciding she couldn’t be bothered with it either.
When she got home, put down the dishes, and turned around, she found it was still following her.
"Still not leaving?"
She reached out to grab it and toss it out.
But the cat leaped nimbly aside and looked down on her from a higher spot.
Su Mo found a branch and tried to shoo it away.
But it was too agile, jumping here and there, flatly refusing to leave...
It perched on the roof, seemingly looking down at her with a disdainful expression.
Seeing its disobedient look, Su Mo put her hands on her hips in frustration.
「Two days later.」
There was a market day in the Tiger Clan Tribe, and Yue Ying planned to go have a look. Products on the market were always improving, and they needed to learn from the strengths of others.
Su Mo found out about this and had him take her along.
He couldn’t say no to her.
Coincidentally, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan were also planning to go to the Tiger Clan that day. As long as they all came back together, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Little did they know that early in the morning, Bai Chi had also set out from the Tiger Clan Tribe, heading for the North Wing.
Before he left, the Second Miss had instructed him to be sure to invite that Miss Su to the Tiger Clan.
