Chapter 102: Wife‑Chasing Rules: Just Be Shameless

~7 min read 1,317 words

Waiting for the group to leave Xuan Shuang Study.

Xuan Wei frowned and asked her, "How do you intend to repay this favor?"

Xuan Shuang raised an eyebrow and said, "Gold, silver and treasures—if they ask, I can give them all."

"You're answering the wrong question; we both know their purpose this time. They helped us enormously, and for the Tiger Clan Tribe it's 'a debt equal to rebirth.' Without showing some sincerity, it won't be acceptable."

Xuan Wei smiled, "You just want the Beauty Smile, right? I'll give it."

"Are you serious?"

Xuan Wei clearly hadn't expected Xuan Shuang to reply so decisively, since the Beauty Smile hadn't been given to anyone for many years.

To others it's a deadly toxin, yet it's the Tiger Clan's long‑standing guardian flower. Its poison is strong, but it can cleanse miasma for dozens of miles. It is cultivated deep in a forest thick with poisonous gases, with a rather complicated planting method, and its growth is extremely slow.

Even after more than a decade, only a few stalks have sprouted, which is why Xuan Shuang, upon first learning their purpose, was reluctant to give it.

"If this thing truly works against the toxin on Miss Su, what's the problem with giving it? However, that item is quite poisonous; I don't know if she dares to ingest it. The method of consumption should be studied further; Miss Su is such an interesting person. I don't want to watch her die."

Xuan Wei chuckled lightly, "Your change of heart is perhaps too quick. Fortunately you're a female Beastmen, otherwise I'd suspect you of liking her. There are many interesting people in the tribe, but this is the first time I've seen you care so much about someone from another tribe."

"There are many interesting people, but few are this interesting, just as there are many beautiful people, yet only a few truly memorable."

Xuan Shuang finished speaking, then lightly curled her lips into a meaningful smile, "I can not only give flowers, I can also give a person~ Someone so formidable deserves a capable Beastmen Tribal Marriage Alliance! That way, Miss Su would count as half a Tiger Clan female."

Xuan Wei knit her brows, "You're scheming again; I advise you not to cause trouble. That Miss Su is a clever one, unsuitable for Third Brother."

Xuan Shuang heard this and laughed, "I never said I'd send Third Brother away. Big sister, why are you randomly marking the Yuan Yang Register? Our Tiger Clan has plenty of young capable Beastmen; does it have to be that wooden block Third Brother?"

"What are you thinking inside? Don't you think I wouldn't know? Miss Su's several fiancés aren't the brutes of our Tribe; don't meddle, it's fine for everyone to be friends. Moreover, Third Brother has no mood for love, and you know that."

Xuan Shuang raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, "I know, that's why I said not to choose him."

Xuan Wei glared at her, "Stop spouting nonsense; a Tribal Marriage Alliance between two tribes is no joke."

"It's not difficult; the rules are rigid, but people are alive."

Xuan Wei looked at her, incomprehensibly saying, "You should quickly abandon that thought; we're solely focused on detoxifying Miss Su."

Xuan Shuang squinted, smiled, and fell silent.

At this moment, in Xuan Qing's room.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless, because it's uncertain whether the enemy will launch a surprise attack, so the Tiger Tribe Steward dares not fall asleep easily.

In today's battle, they also sustained some minor injuries.

But it's all inconsequential.

Jin Yan, while assisting him, said, "I didn't expect Miss Su to have such ability. Unfortunately, her mouth is too sharp; otherwise she'd be more likable."

Xuan Qing frowned, "How many times have I said not to gossip about others behind their backs?"

Jin Yan whispered, "I haven't told anyone else; I only said a few words to you, sir."

Xuan Qing took the Medicine Jar from his hand and said, "I'll handle it myself; you go back and rest."

"Yes."

Jin Yan exited his room.

After preparing the medicine, Xuan Qing placed the Medicine Jar into the cabinet.

The moment the drawer was opened, he saw the Xiao Qiao Dagger and the strand of silver hair that had been shot off on the Jin Tong Village Wall that day.

Xuan Qing picked up the dagger, squinted at it, then put it back.

……

Su Mo slept so deeply that she didn't even realize dawn hadn't broken and that a fight had broken out outside again.

When she got up, many wounded were lying outside, and Xuan Wei was leading people to treat their wounds.

Two Dragon Cubs, whose arrival time was unknown, were also helping.

Seeing Su Mo get up, they immediately darted to her legs; one clutched a leg, the other kept nudging.

Nan Nan blinked her sparkling eyes at her and said, "Sister Mo, you're awake~"

Su Mo touched the horns on his head, squinted, and asked, "Why did you all come too?"

Minor General said you had an incident, we were uneasy, and begged him to bring us over to take a look.

Dong Dong looked up at Su Mo, saw she was fine, and was overjoyed.

"Sister Mo, you're fine, that's such a relief!"

Su Mo smiled, said a few words to them, and hurried to help Xuan Wei treat the wounded.

Because of yesterday's events, the Tiger Tribe's people have changed their view of Su Mo and her several fiancés.

Now everyone's gaze at her no longer holds guard, only gratitude.

Some young Beastmen now even initiate conversation with her.

Su Mo is lively and speaks amusingly.

When she smiles, her brows and eyes curve like peach blossoms suddenly blooming in spring, captivating the gaze.

Xuan Wei thought to herself, Miss Su's temperament is indeed very likable; right now she hasn't been detoxified, but if she were, her restored appearance would likely attract even more affection.

Nan Nan and Dong Dong stayed behind Su Mo, helping, and seeing the bright glint in those young Tiger Beastmen's eyes, the two little ones wore guarded expressions.

Sometimes, when Su Mo isn't paying attention, they deliberately bare their teeth and glare at people.

But the two dragon cubs have limited power; watching them is not intimidating, rather cute.

Su Mo was unaware of their little antics; after finishing a round, she quietly slipped milk candies to the two small ones.

"Good work, go play over there for a while."

Nan Nan and Dong Dong happily took the milk candies, sat aside, and began tasting them.

The moment the milk candy entered their mouths, a milky fragrance spread across their lips and teeth.

The two little ones' excited eyes glittered.

Nan Nan turned her head, saw a young Beastmen talking to Su Mo again, and sighed, "How can we get Long Yan Major General to pursue Sister Mo?"

Dong Dong, while chewing a milk candy, said seriously, "Before coming I consulted the Military Advisor about this issue, and he said, 'Just be shameless.'"

After speaking, the two Dragon Cub​s exchanged a glance; they still didn't quite understand what the Military Advisor's phrase "don't be shameless" actually meant.

Nan Nan frowned, "Can't the Military Advisor be more specific?"

Dong Dong shook his head, then nodded: "The Military Advisor said it's fine that we don't understand; as long as Minor General understands, that's enough, and he also had Minor General learn from a few people beside Sister Mo. He said that once we master their tactics, this matter should be easy to handle."

…

After a long, tedious silence, Dong Dong nodded and said, "Then later tell Minor General."

The two little ones had just finished their whisper when they saw Su Mo's fiancé Fei Yan hurrying over.

Wife Master!

Fei Yan called out to the people ahead.
