Chapter 109: Hungry Wolf Pounces
The next day, Su Mo was woken by the clamor outside.
She just opened the door and stepped out when she saw those Door Gods standing at her doorway.
Seeing her, all of them' eyes lit up.
Su Mo's steps instinctively halted.
Yue Ying's infatuated gaze lingered on her face, and he naturally reached out and wrapped his arm around her: "Mo Mo, you're awake. I'll take you to eat—this fox prepared it for you early this morning~"
Su Mo was helpless.
【These days, the desire in the Dead Fox's eyes is so blatant even the hidden ones are too lazy to hide…】
When Xuan Shuang and a few others arrived, they happened to see Yue Ying leading Su Mo toward the kitchen.
So they didn't hurry to follow.
Xuan Wei said to the attendant Jin Yan behind her: "Pass the medicinal soup to Miss Su, so she can drink it after finishing breakfast."
The attendant nodded, lifted the soup, and left.
After the attendant left, Xuan Shuang looked at the several fiancés of Su Mo and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Miss Su has so many fiancés; the days ahead will surely be very interesting."
Both Xuan Shuang and Xuan Wei were veterans, so some matters became clear at a glance.
Xuan Shuang laughed lightly: "Look at each of them, as if they wish their eyes could stay glued to her, as if tying her to their belt would bring them peace."
Xuan Wei added with a laugh: "They're all adult Beastmen; enduring until today isn't easy either."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that even now, they still haven't …"
Xuan Wei, with a gossiping expression, looked at the person beside her and asked.
"Well, Miss Su's previous constitution wasn't suitable."
Xuan Shuang raised an eyebrow slightly; indeed, it wasn't easy. No wonder each of them, when they looked into Miss Su's eyes, seemed like hungry wolves pouncing on prey.
"What a pity."
Xuan Wei frowned at her: "Pity what?"
"It's a pity I haven't selected a proper son‑in‑law; otherwise, perhaps the Beastmen of our Tiger Clan would still have a chance to vie for the Principal Husband Position!"
Having said that, Xuan Shuang cast a sidelong glance at Xuan Qing, who was walking over.
"Do you think it's still possible now?"
Xuan Wei shook her head helplessly after hearing that: "You, you have no proper conduct! Those guys are already fighting to the point of bloodied heads; stop stirring trouble. Miss Su must have already chosen her Right Husband candidate. You'd better go have some wine; stop spouting nonsense."
Xuan Shuang laughed lightly: "It's fine not to be the Right Husband; being the third, fourth, sixth, or seventh husband is fine too!"
Xuan Wei gave her a speechless look, intending to scold her a few more words, but when Xuan Qing approached, she held back.
Inside the kitchen.
Su Mo ate the breakfast prepared by Yue Ying, then frowned at the pitch‑black bowl of medicine that Xuan Wei had sent someone to bring.
【This bitter thing, I really can't swallow even a drop…】
【Actually, once the toxins are cleared from my body, I can slowly recover~】
Yue Ying raised an eyebrow slightly: "Wife Master, you're the one who treats patients, yet you don't want to take medicine yourself?"
Slowly recover?
Until when?
He now doesn't want to wait another day; if this keeps up, people will go mad.
Yue Ying nudged the bowl toward Su Mo: "Wife Master, drink up."
Su Mo blinked and asked: "Don't you have anything else to do? Go attend to your own matters~"
Yue Ying raised an eyebrow: "I'll wait until you finish the medicine before I leave."
Su Mo frowned.
【Now you have to watch me even when I take medicine?!】
Yue Ying squinted at her: "Wife Master, you're not refusing the medicine, are you? Or do you want me to feed it to you personally?"
Having said that, he lifted the bowl to take a sip, but Su Mo quickly snatched it: "I'll do it myself!"
She held the bowl and, in one go, drank it all.
Yue Ying, uneasy, leaned over to glance at the empty bowl, then squinted and smiled: "So obedient."
Then, while the kitchen attendants weren't watching, he leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips.
"A reward for you!"
Su Mo endured the bitter taste in her mouth, looked at him wordlessly.
【Going mad~ The fox really is going mad!】
Yue Ying squinted and whispered in her ear: "If Wife Master still won't get up, I'll really go mad, I'm holding back madness…"
Su Mo quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth, lowered her voice and warned: "Shut up, you shut your mouth for me!"
【Dead Fox really says anything without hesitation…】
Yue Ying laughed shamelessly, then grabbed her palm and kissed it.
Su Mo felt a tickle in her palm, her cheek flushed involuntarily, and she tried to pull away the hand he was holding.
Heaven knows how charming her slightly flushed face and bewildered look are right now.
He already couldn't resist her allure; now, facing this face, Yue Ying felt even more like going mad~
His eyes darkened as he scooped her up and vanished, then leapt onto the roof.
Su Mo hadn't reacted yet when he pulled her into his arms and bent down to kiss her.
She didn't dare move at all… she was terrified of causing a scene and being laughed at…
She could only clutch his lapel, letting him do as he pleased.
Under the eaves, Fei Yan and Mo Xiao stared solemnly at the two people unwilling to part after the kiss, their temples throbbing.
Yue Ying could be too lazy to bother with them at this moment.
The person in his arms was unusually obedient; he had wanted to be more reckless, but thinking of her complaints about Mo Xiao yesterday, he gave up.
He shouldn't be too reckless lately; if he scares her, when will they be able to marry?
Before entering the house, he should put on a pretense first…
He endured!
Anyway, those days have already passed; missing a day or two won't matter.
Yue Ying, still lingering, released the person, and before Su Mo could speak,
he began apologizing in a little daughter‑in‑law's tone: "I'm sorry, I just couldn't hold back a moment ago… Mo Mo won't blame me, will you?"
Su Mo nestled against his chest, her breath still unsteady, unaware of the calculations in his eyes.
【He's really crazy, even a kiss makes him want to devour me… each one like a starving wolf; won't they later try to take my life???】
【Maybe we should put off the marriage for now… whose good son gets married just to die?】
Yue Ying: "!!!"
He clearly restrained himself, didn't he?!
Fei Yan and Mo Xiao under the eaves looked at him, their gazes far from friendly.
Praying to heaven and earth, Wife Master finally settled on the idea of a Right Husband, but this Dead Fox just couldn't keep himself in check!
If they still can't get married this time, they'll have to skin this fox!
Yue Ying's eyes flickered, and holding the person, he complained, "Wife Master knows full well how much I like you; other families' foxes, at my age, have already produced several litters of fox cubs… As for me? I still haven't sent myself away, and if this continues, I truly will have no face to stay in the Fox Clan any longer~"
Nestled in his arms, Su Mo raised an eyebrow and thought, 【Pushing for marriage? We clearly agreed before that you wouldn't push me to marry… Indeed, a man's words are deceitful ghosts!】
Yue Ying gritted his teeth.
Wife Master, this little fox, really won't budge.
He said haltingly, "Wife Master, if you don't like those troublesome matters, just go register with the Tribe Chief for a formality. Whatever makes you happy, just do it~ Anyway it won't affect you at all, is that not fine?"
"Everyone jokes that I'm an old fox who can't catch Wife Master…"
Anyway, as long as it's registered, he becomes her legitimate Beast Husband; once he later feeds her to fullness, he won't fear wild flowers and weeds sticking onto her.
