Chapter 116

When Su Mo and her companions returned to the North Wing, they quickly caused a stir.

As soon as the carriage reached the village entrance, it had to stop because too many villagers had gathered.

Su Mo lifted the curtain and saw many familiar faces gathered outside.

Leading them were A Nuan and Huang Ming!

Huang Ming was holding the book she had given him last time, presumably wanting to ask her more questions.

All we saw was his bewildered gaze sweeping over the carriage; when it met Su Mo's face, a hint of surprise involuntarily flashed in his eyes.

After staring blankly for several seconds, he looked at Yue Ying ahead and asked, "May I ask where Miss Su is?"

Su Mo gave him a light smile and lowered the curtain.

The crowd outside froze on the spot, utterly unresponsive, their minds filled with that fleeting glimpse just now.

Only A Nuan's eyes lit up, as if she had realized something.

She exclaimed delightedly, "Shaman Doctor, you're really blind! The one who just smiled at you was Su Mo!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than everyone saw Su Mo lift the curtain and step out.

She stood gracefully, smiling faintly.

A glow of sunset fell upon her, making her whole person seem like she had stepped out of a painting. That fleeting glimpse from the carriage just now seemed both illusory and real.

The crowd was still somewhat dazed, staring blankly at that face, not yet reacting.

A Nuan stepped forward, took Su Mo's hand, and asked curiously, "After not seeing you for a while, you've become this beautiful?!"

Su Mo smiled and explained, "Before, I ate something I shouldn't have, which changed my appearance. I recently went to find an antidote, so I've recovered."

A Nuan gasped, "Good heavens, your true appearance is too beautiful! How can a person be this gorgeous?"

All around rose praises and congratulations.

Among the crowd, the young male beasts looked at Su Mo with eyes shining even brighter.

Before, they used to mock Mo Xiao and the others, saying they were like a flower stuck in cow dung.

Now it's clear they simply failed to recognize Mount Tai.

Yue Ying keenly sensed the gazes from all directions and gave a subtle glare.

Despite all precautions, they ultimately failed to keep out the beastman Feiyun.

The little wolfman somehow squeezed his way to in front of his own wife master, his bright eyes fixed on Su Mo as he said, "Miss Su, long time no see…"

Yue Ying gritted his teeth, feeling that the wolfman's next words would almost be "I miss you dearly!"

He hurriedly said, "The wife master is tired from the carriage ride; please make way, we'll head home first and discuss anything later."

The crowd voluntarily made a path.

Huang Ming looked at Su Mo, full of eagerness to learn, and said, "Miss Su, I'll come ask you a few questions later!"

Su Mo nodded: "Okay."

Before their carriage even reached home, those people had already gone ahead and gathered at Su Mo's door.

Su Mo first tended to those who needed medical help, then began to address Huang Ming's questions.

He truly is a natural at medicine; in just a short time his progress has been rapid—Su Mo had previously given him that book, and he's already read two-thirds of it.

Moreover, he can mostly integrate and comprehend the knowledge inside.

Su Mo couldn't help but feel in her heart that talent is truly indescribable.

However, the faster Huang Ming learns, the more beneficial it is for the beastmen of the North Wing.

After talking with Huang Ming for a while, the surrounding people had mostly dispersed.

Only A Nuan and a few nearby beastman neighbors remained.

The neighboring aunt handed Su Mo some wild vegetables, chuckling, "Little Mo, you'll have to hold a feast this time you're back, right? Cang Lan told us you're getting married, correct?"

A Nuan sat beside Su Mo, smiling, "This time, how many are you planning to take? Or are you taking them all at once?"

Before Su Mo could speak, Yue Ying chuckled, "Naturally, you'll take them all."

He didn't want to keep queuing; if they continued, everyone would go crazy.

The aunt beside them said, "Great! Take them all!"

A Nuan then whispered, "Who is the Right Husband?"

Others couldn't hear, but those few with sharp ears all pricked up their ears, waiting.

Su Mo instinctively glanced at the few standing there and frowned.

Seeing that, A Nuan lowered her voice further: "No need to struggle; usually, you pick whoever was your first beast husband. If none have been secured yet, then choose whoever you like most; if that fails, decide by drawing lots."

Su Mo blinked: "You can really do that?"

A Nuan wore a gossipy expression: "No way, with that face you now have, can they even… hold back?"

She had never imagined that Su Mo's several fiancés had, to this day, not even been secured.

"Generally, if before marriage none have had any substantive relations, they draw lots to show fairness."

Su Mo pondered for a moment in her mind, her clear gaze sweeping over those few.

【Why not, before the registration, I first……】

Yue Ying promptly said, "Let's draw lots! I like drawing lots—fair and just!"

Cang Lan: "I like it too!"

If the wife master were to choose the Right Husband herself, she definitely wouldn't pick him. But if they draw lots, he still has a chance!

Mo Xiao's deep voice said, "I also agree."

Only Fei Yan remained silent, his clear, water-like gaze fixed on Su Mo.

A Nuan said, "The minority follows the majority—when will you draw lots? We'll come watch!"

"Tonight!"

Tomorrow morning!

Cang Lan and Yue Ying eagerly opened their mouths.

Yue Ying looked at the several aunts and said, "Welcome, aunts, you too come!"

We need to call more people over to prevent the Wife Master from cheating.

If he is chosen, what do we do if the Wife Master refuses to acknowledge it?

Call everyone over; this way she won't be able to back out.

Su Mo had already guessed the stinky fox's thoughts, but she already had a plan in mind.

She then calmly said, "At the earliest it'll be tomorrow morning, and Ye Yuan isn't here."

Cang Lan immediately said, "I'll go call him right away!"

Su Mo nodded, "Then let's set the time for tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Yue Ying sent everyone in the courtyard away.

After dinner, Cang Lan went to the East Sea to look for Ye Yuan.

That night.

Yue Ying, Mo Xiao, and Fei Yan stood in the courtyard, exchanged a glance, and were of one mind.

Tonight no one is allowed to enter the Wife Master's quarters; if they don't sleep, they'll just stand in the courtyard—no sneaking shortcuts!

Fei Yan blew a breeze for a while, then turned and went inside to sleep. Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes, glancing at his back.

From evening onward, he began to feel uneasy.

Inside the room, Su Mo lay on the bed, when Xiao Jiu suddenly popped out.

"Host, who exactly are you choosing as the Right Husband? Tell me!"

"Not saying."

"Please~"

"I won't say!"

Su Mo turned over and went to sleep.

The next morning, she was awakened by the noisy sounds in the courtyard.

Upon getting up, Su Mo saw a house-full of people surrounding her.

Ye Yuan also arrived, looking at her with an excited face.

Several others also looked at her with expectant faces.

Su Mo walked over and said, "Everyone's here, let's first draw lots."

All that could be seen was her raising her left hand to a small trinket, a star-shaped object folded from a leaf.

"In my palm are five such differently shaped objects; once chosen and released, whoever's chosen object contains the number 1 will be the Right Husband."

Fei Yan's clear gaze swept over the object at Su Mo's fingertips.

Yue Ying's brow slightly furrowed; he felt the Wife Master had pulled another trick he didn't know about.

Mo Xiao's eyes darkened.

He said in a low voice, "Good."

Su Mo laid out the five objects in her palm one by one.

Each had a different shape, each vividly crafted, but Fei Yan instantly spotted the little boat.

It was exactly the same as the one the Wife Master gave him on the last night with the Tiger Clan, only slightly larger.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's begin."

Ye Yuan picked a small basket, Cang Lan chose a small cat-shaped one.

Fei Yan immediately went to grab the little boat, but Mo Xiao seemed to move even faster.

Yue Ying's brow twitched, and he suddenly manifested a fox tail, also going to snatch the little boat.

The three instantly tangled together, the scene became somewhat chaotic, and the onlookers also grew tense.

Everyone only saw the bamboo-leaf-woven little boat tossed high into the air, and Fei Yan leapt up.

Suddenly a fuzzy thing swept over his outstretched hand.

In the blink of an eye, a black shadow darted past.
