Chapter 105: I Am Your Armor

In the room, Su Mo plucked a flower leaf, added some of her own blood, and sent it to the Laboratory.

Although Xiao Jiu said that this kind of plant not listed in the System Space Catalog might not yield results quickly, she still wanted to try.

Su Mo now worries whether the Laboratory can produce results within one hour.

From behind came hurried footsteps.

Su Mo turned and saw Fei Yan following with a worried face; the few behind him also stood at the doorway with nervous expressions.

Su Mo hadn't had time to speak before he tightly embraced her.

"Let me test the medicine on Wife Master, okay? Just this once, I promise to always honor Wife Master in everything thereafter, and never defy any of your requests."

Fei Yan couldn't even pay attention to the people who had followed from outside, as if they were watching him.

He only has one thought at this moment: she must not get into trouble; she absolutely cannot suffer any mishap.

Su Mo felt a sudden tightness in her chest; she reached out and held him.

"It's not that serious, don't worry. I have a secret weapon, it won't go wrong so easily."

"I'm uneasy… unless I try it myself, I can't…"

Su Mo gently patted his back, as if soothing his restless emotions.

"Fei Yan, I cherish my own life more than anyone else. I understand your intention; precisely because I am clear about it, I cannot let you test the medicine for me."

"But as your Beast Husband, doing anything for you is my duty; I ought to protect you fully, sparing no effort!"

Su Mo's brows twitched slightly; she knew he wasn't just saying it. In Beast World, it is natural for a female to accept a male beast's protection, and even if one day they truly sacrifice themselves for their Wife Master amid chaos, most people would see it as perfectly normal, even a kind of honor.

"Fei Yan." Su Mo's tone was gentle yet resolute: "I don't need you to prove your affection to me in that way. If you get hurt, my conscience will never be at peace in this life. What I want is a companion who walks beside me, not a bird that breaks its wings for me."

"I should be your armor, not the blade that severs your wings."

Su Mo's words rang out with weight.

Outside the house, there was complete silence.

Fei Yan trembled as he held her tightly, as if to meld her into his very bones and blood.

After a long while, he whispered, "Alright, Fei Yan will obey Wife Master."

Outside.

Long Yan's eyes flickered slightly; he still wanted to go in and say something.

Mo Xiao promptly reached out and blocked him; Wife Master had already refused Fei Yan's request to test the medicine, making it impossible to let Long Yan test it as well.

Tian Huan sighed, having originally considered that if Miss Su were unwilling to let her Beast Husband venture, he could himself risk testing it for her, since he owed her a favor.

But now it seemed Miss Su would not agree.

A moment later, a notification sound echoed in Su Mo's mind.

The test results came out.

The first thing that caught the eye was a burst of data.

From the report, it appeared to be effective.

In Su Mo's mind, Xiao Jiu's excited voice rang: "Host, it seems to work!"

Su Mo carefully compared it with the previous blood report, "From the report it is effective. But why did these most ordinary values suddenly become abnormal?"

Xiao Jiu: "Beauty Smile's toxicity is too strong, so it lowered the body's immunity? It can be restored later; not a big problem, right?"

Su Mo nodded: "At least it proves that thing is still ingestible; although it's still uncertain whether it can completely clear the toxins in my body, the effect should exist."

Thinking this, she couldn't help but sigh in relief, turned and picked up that herb.

"Wife Master!"

Fei Yan still wasn't fully reassured, "Are you sure it's okay?"

"It should be fine." Su Mo said, then plucked a leaf and placed it in her mouth.

Mo Xiao and a few others hurriedly entered.

Su Mo plucked another flower and chewed it, the bitter taste between her lips making her frown.

Her face instantly turned into a bitter gourd…

"【What is this junk, so bitter? Are we sure it's something people eat?!】"

Su Mo instinctively tried to spit it out, looked up and saw those few frowning at her.

She swallowed it in one gulp.

The few, with tense faces, asked her, "How is it?"

Su Mo placed a hand on her pulse point, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"【How amazing, it really is Poison Counterattack?!】"

Xiao Jiu exclaimed excitedly, "Great, Host! You're saved!"

"【Hmm, it seems there is…】"

The next second, Su Mo's slender body involuntarily swayed.

"【What's happening, why do I suddenly feel like something in my chest is about to explode…】"

A fishy‑sweet taste spread in her mouth; before she could react, warm liquid awkwardly spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her internal organs felt as if they were being gripped hard.

She fell backward uncontrollably, but Mo Xiao promptly reached out and caught her.

"Wife Master!"

"Host!"

"Miss Su!"

The room instantly descended into chaos.

Xuan Wei pushed aside the people ahead, placed a hand on Su Mo's pulse point, frowned and said, "Beauty Smile's toxicity is too strong; Miss Su's body has been gnawed by the poison for too long, and she can't hold on for a moment."

Su Mo, clinging to the last shred of consciousness, ordered, "Apply the needle!"

Xuan Wei turned her head, and before she even stood up, Xuan Qing had already handed her something.

Her medical skill may not match Su Mo's, but it is the best among the Tiger Clan, and compared with the others present, she is the most qualified to needle Su Mo.

After a while, once Xuan Wei finished, she let out a long sigh.

She looked at Su Mo's several fiancés with worried expressions and said, "Beauty Smile's toxicity is too strong; she needs some time to process it. When she wakes, she should feel much lighter."

Yue Ying's brows knit tightly, "When roughly will Wife Master awaken?"

Xuan Wei glanced at the unconscious figure on the bed, shook her head slightly, "Hard to tell; Miss Su's body has been gnawed by Poison for too long and is quite weak. Perhaps one day, perhaps two, or even longer."

Cang Lan asked anxiously, "She will definitely wake, right?"

Xuan Wei nodded affirmatively, "Yes! She will definitely wake. However, I suggest you all stay within the Tiger Clan for now; first, Miss Su may later need Beauty Smile antidote, and second, I can help you care for her together."

Mo Xiao frowned, "Fine, then I'll trouble the young lady."

Xuan Wei nodded, "I'll take the people out first; call me anytime if anything arises."

After speaking, she gave a few more instructions and then sent the people at the doorway away.

In the room, Mo Xiao and the others wore solemn expressions as they stared at the person on the bed.

Yue Ying, Fei Yan, Cang Lan, and Long Yan all showed a flash of surprise in their faces.

Is it an illusion?

Why do Wife Master's brows and eyes seem slightly different from before?

Could it be…

Yue Ying couldn't help but reach out, gently brushing Su Mo's brows and eyes.

"So it was her internal Poison that concealed her true appearance!"

Fei Yan was also startled at heart, looked up at Mo Xiao, but saw his expression unchanged.

It seems he must have already known about this beforehand.
