Chapter 107: The Foolish Leopard Suddenly Gains a Brain

"Miss Su."

Xuan Shuang looked at the person before her and spoke first.

Although it had long been known that Su Mo's appearance changed after waking, the way she looked while asleep was completely different from the visual impact she gave now.

Those eyes seemed to carry a soul‑capturing magic, easily drawing anyone's gaze. A single peach‑wood hairpin held her hair, yet it framed her features like a painting; as her pupils shifted, they were lively yet still alluring.

She was like a crabapple suddenly blooming in spring, her beauty beyond description.

Xuan Shuang thought that even the Tiger Clan could find a few beauties, but compared with Su Mo, those people lacked a few sparks of spirit.

Su Mo looked at the slightly stunned Xuan Shuang and smiled faintly: "Second Miss."

Xuan Shuang regained her composure and gave a slight nod.

Then she turned to the Xuan Wei beside Xuan Wei and Xuan Qing, saying: "Miss, Third Young Master."

"I've been unconscious these past two days, causing a lot of trouble for everyone."

"That's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Now we are practically life‑and‑death companions; speaking of it would be too formal."

Having said that, Xuan Shuang took Su Mo's hand and said, "Let's go eat together; we can talk while we eat."

Considering Su Mo had just woken, Xuan Shuang immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare something light.

Xuan Shuang pulled Su Mo to sit beside her; once her temperament settled, she was bold and unrestrained.

Now she kept calling Su Mo "big sister" one after another, her enthusiasm almost overwhelming Su Mo.

"Just stay within the Tiger Clan and nurture yourself; whatever you need, I will do my best to fulfill!"

Su Mo originally didn't want to be a bother, but considering the special property of the Beauty Smile, she had to agree.

Now that thing indeed works against the toxin in her body; she couldn't abandon it halfway.

Su Mo smiled, "Then I'll be a nuisance for a while."

"I've already told you not to be formal; treat me as family!" Xuan Shuang seemed to recall something and said, "Another Beauty Smile—should someone pick it for you tomorrow?"

"Not for now." Xuan Wei interjected promptly, "The Beauty Smile's toxicity is too strong; Miss Su's body still needs to recuperate before taking another one."

Xuan Shuang glanced at Su Mo, saw her nod slightly, and laughed, "Then it's fine, no rush! We sisters can chat more and nurture our bond!"

Across, Yue Ying raised an eyebrow slightly; this Tiger Clan Second Miss was indeed quite familiar, and if they kept chatting like this, the unhappy ones would be them…

Soon Tian Huan, Bai Chi, and Hei Hu arrived.

The three greeted everyone present, then involuntarily fixed their gazes on Su Mo's face.

Originally thinking the Beastmen of the North Wing had keen eyes, able to choose a Wife Master like Su Mo, now it seems they are simply lucky!

Soon the kitchen began serving dishes; Xuan Shuang invited everyone to eat, and added that after the meal they'd take Su Mo for a proper stroll around the courtyard to show her her treasures.

Unable to refuse the hospitality, Su Mo had to agree.

But having slept for two days, she couldn't fall asleep for a while, so a walk would be fine.

After dinner, Xuan Shuang dismissed Bai Chi and the others; she had intended to send Su Mo's suitors away as well, but judging by their looks, she left them.

Xuan Shuang led Su Mo to her storeroom and displayed the treasures she had collected.

Most of what she collected were weapons and the like, far sharper than those on the market.

Su Mo could imagine how she would wield those items, surely looking very dashing.

Then Xuan Shuang took down a compact bow and arrow from the wall and handed it to Su Mo: "Sister, this was my favorite bow and arrow before; now I give it to you for self‑defense! One day I'll teach you how to shoot."

Su Mo reached out, took it, examined it briefly, and said, "Indeed, it's a good piece."

It's very light, and the arrowheads are extremely sharp.

Suitable for a female like Su Mo who lacks much combat power.

She held the bow and smiled, "I accept Second Miss's intention."

【The item is good; if refined further, it might rival the beast‑skin bow the system gave, I'll ask Xiao Jiu later to see if he has any method.】

After viewing those treasures, Xuan Shuang took Su Mo for a walk around the back garden.

Calling it a back garden is a stretch; it's actually Xuan Wei's medicinal herb garden.

It mostly cultivated medicinal herbs Xuan Wei had gathered from various places, a complete variety, with no shortage of rare ingredients.

Su Mo recognized most of them, so she and Xuan Wei chatted enthusiastically.

Xuan Wei also took the chance to ask about the properties of the herbs; Su Mo answered everything she knew.

Once they started talking about these, Xuan Wei easily lost track of time.

When she came to herself, she glanced at the people beside her; all wore expressions of lifeless indifference toward them.

Except for her third brother Xuan Qing, whose eyes remained relatively clear.

After all, he often studies such things, and many of these were brought to her from his outings.

Cang Lan's gaze at Xuan Wei was filled with unhidden plaintive sorrow.

He hadn't even spoken properly with the Wife Master, yet this Tiger Clan miss is so talkative… it seems she could never finish.

Getting anxious, getting heated!

Xuan Wei smiled, "It's getting late; Miss Su, go back and rest early. Tomorrow morning I'll have someone brew a restorative medicinal soup and deliver it to you."

"Much obliged."

Su Mo smiled, said farewell to Xuan Wei and her three siblings, then left with the others.

Just after leaving the back garden, Su Mo saw Long Yan and two dragon cubs waiting there.

Seeing Su Mo, Long Yan's eyes involuntarily brightened.

"Minor General, I haven't properly thanked you for this matter yet."

Long Yan gave a slight smile, "Miss Su, you're being modest; as long as you're fine."

"Has everything on the Dragon Clan side been resolved?"

"Some details are clear; I'm about to discuss this with the Snake Young Master."

Su Mo, with a curved smile, said, "Then you keep chatting; I'll go back to my room first."

By the time Su Mo got back to the room, Cang Lan had already prepared the bath water for her.

He stood there, eyes expectant, looking at her: "Wife Master, bath!"

Su Mo blinked and said, "You go out first; I'll call you when I'm done."

"..." Cang Lan's plaintive eyes looked at her.

"Wife Master, I want, want…" Cang Lan, his face flushed, stammered, "I want to show you my abs!"

After saying that, he began to take off his clothes.

Su Mo's eyes suddenly widened, and she grabbed his hand: "You, wait!"

What are you doing, showing me your abs while I'm bathing? Do you think I'm an idiot~ If I watch now, how can I take a proper bath?!

"Wife Master… don't like my abs?"

Cang Lan's gaze at her seemed about to shatter.

He felt that Wife Master didn't like him, at least not in the same way the three others liked him.

Su Mo helplessly said, "I'll look later, okay?"

"Okay!"

Cang Lan, in a cheerful mood, went out, and when he looked up he saw Yue Ying waiting at the door; he instantly wore a wary expression.

Yue Ying tried to go in, but Cang Lan stretched out a hand to block him.

Dead Fox, with a calm face, said, "Step aside, I want to go in and say a few words to Wife Master."

Cang Lan frowned and, with righteous words, refused: "No, Wife Master is bathing."

Yue Ying thought, "Then I want to go in even more…"

These days he truly couldn't stand a single day; originally Wife Master hadn't regained her looks, and he fought her until his head was bloodied.

Now that she has regained her appearance, the jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards around her only grow in number.

If he doesn't act early to secure a status for himself, how will he get through the days ahead?

Originally he hadn't planned to contend with this leopard tonight, after all he went in first, but now he's out, so he can't be blamed, right?

"I'm just saying a few words; it won't affect her bath," Yue Ying said as he tried to swing away Cang Lan's hand.

But Cang Lan, unmoving, blocked him, simply refusing.

Everyone says he's stupid, but actually he isn't!

Who wouldn't want the fragrant, soft Wife Master? If he doesn't keep fighting, she'll soon have no room for him in her eyes.

If he lets this Dead Fox into the house, he's afraid he won't come out tonight!

Cang Lan, in a serious tone, said: "Wife Master said that after she finishes bathing she'll want to see my abs. She's going to sleep with me tonight. One person per day! No one may compete with me."

Yue Ying: "..."

He was almost furious; finally, taking advantage of the night, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan were talking with that Stinky Dragon, and he wanted to seize the initiative alone.

But this stupid leopard suddenly got a brain???

He can't just start a big fight on Tiger Clan's territory over this, can he?

Suppressing his anger, he said to Cang Lan: "You must not do anything excessive tonight; Wife Master's body hasn't recovered yet, it's prone to trouble."

Cang Lan twisted his brow, then looked at him suspiciously and said, "I'll ask Wife Master myself later."

Yue Ying gritted his teeth: "..."
