Chapter 120: First to Break the Percentage

Fei Yan took Su Mo straight to her parents' residence in town, but when they arrived, the gate was tightly closed.

Su Mo peered through the crack in the door; inside, weeds were overgrown, and it didn't look like anyone lived there at all.

But she had asked around, and this was indeed the residence of the original protagonist's parents in town.

According to the tribe chief's intention, after she came of age and they had settled on several fiancés for her, they moved here.

Fei Yan brought her to ask the neighboring residents, and they all said they had never seen this family return.

Su Mo frowned, doubts sprouting in her heart.

【The original protagonist's parents are really strange—they've vanished without a trace, making it look like they're hiding from the plague god.】

【Is it just that they're overly carefree, or… the original protagonist isn't actually their biological child? After all, who would leave a child poisoned with deadly toxin unattended?!】

【But the original story never had this plotline—did I just miss it when I was reading?】

Fei Yan furrowed his brows and said, "Why not go ask elsewhere?"

Su Mo shook her head and said, "Forget it, I won't look further. When the time comes, I'll just trouble the tribe chief and his wife."

She had already confirmed that the original protagonist's parents were deliberately avoiding.

As a transmigrator, Su Mo felt little affection for them, so there was no need to insist.

Fei Yan frowned but said nothing, thinking about Su Mo's inner voice just now.

Is the wife master not the biological child of the town chief and his wife?

Upon careful thought, this possibility isn't impossible.

Before the engagement, they hadn't paid much attention to the wife master and the town chief couple, but after the engagement, the wife master was driven out to fend for herself.

Afterward, they seemingly never saw her interacting with the town chief couple again.

Although beastmen do gradually grow distant from their relatives after adulthood, a situation like the wife master's is still relatively rare.

After running around like this, Su Mo actually felt a bit tired.

Moreover, it was almost lunchtime, so they found a restaurant and sat down.

Fei Yan ordered a few dishes and asked the boss for a pot of tea.

Su Mo lifted her gaze to the opposite Baihua Pavilion, frowned, and asked, "Did Yue Ying really take over this place?"

Fei Yan nodded: "That's right."

Su Mo frowned【The plot line is getting more and more absurd—the heroine's intelligence station has now become several villains'?】

【But this is also good; having such a place means we at least won't be overly passive later.】

After lunch, Su Mo pulled Fei Yan for another stroll.

She inquired about several shops for transfer at the market, then on the spot settled on one.

Su Mo has been exchanging currency in the system daily, and the obtained currency is stored in the system mall.

After signing the contract and paying, this shop became hers.

After obtaining the key, Su Mo then reexamined the shop.

Fei Yan asked doubtfully, "Wife Master, what do you plan to use this shop for?"

"To sell some things that females like."

She had already researched it; the system laboratory can decompose the components of body wash and also mass-produce.

By then she just needs to make slight improvements; of course, besides these items, she can also sell other trinkets.

Xiao Jiu said that as long as sales are good, the system laboratory can also speed up its upgrades.

Nowadays this plot line is becoming increasingly absurd; even Su Mo finds it hard to predict what comes next, so strengthening herself has become especially important.

Not taking a shortcut when one exists is foolish.

Su Mo didn't rush back; she and Fei Yan cleaned up that shop.

Then she also drew some diagrams, mainly shelves for displaying products.

After locking the door, she had Fei Yan take her to find someone to make them.

By the time they finished arranging this, it was already evening.

Fei Yan suggested they eat dinner before leaving.

Su Mo agreed, after all she had been busy all afternoon, and she really was a bit hungry now.

They found a small tavern with decent business and ordered a few dishes.

The boss served a plate of peanuts and enthusiastically said, "Would you two like some drinks?"

Su Mo tilted her head, glanced at the liquor cabinet, and said, "Osmanthus-flavored, give me two taels."

Fei Yan frowned: "Wife Master, your alcohol tolerance isn't good; you'd better not drink."

Su Mo narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I'll just taste the flavor; the rest can be yours."

Fei Yan resignedly thought, she is just the typical sort who's bad at fighting yet loves to drink.

Soon the liquor and dishes were served.

Su Mo indeed didn't intend to drink much; she poured herself only half a bowl, and she didn't plan to finish it all.

The osmanthus fragrance between her nostrils was strong, making Su Mo feel a bit light-headed.

She took a light sip, thinking that when osmanthus blooms season arrives, perhaps she could pick some to put in the laboratory, which would be perfect for researching new products.

Their position was excellent; the evening glow streamed through the window lattice, lightly falling over her. Her slender, graceful figure seemed bathed in a gentle halo of light, beautiful enough to make one unable to look away.

So when she raised her bowl again, Fei Yan didn't notice at all.

Such moments belonging only to him and her, he wished they could pass more slowly, even more slowly…

Because of his momentary greed, when they left the tavern, Su Mo was drunk.

When Fei Yan carried her out, the outside sky had already turned completely dark.

Someone approached and said, "Sir, need lodging? It's very cheap."

Fei Yan lowered his gaze and glanced at the drunken person in his arms, saying to that person: "Lead the way."

As they set off, he caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner with his peripheral vision.

However, he showed no hesitation at all.

Fei Yan carried Su Mo to the inn and fetched hot water to help her wash up.

While wiping her face, she blinked open her eyes in a daze and glanced at him.

Then she reached up, hooked her arms around his neck, and gave a soft smile: "Fei Yan~"

In an instant, the fortress he had erected in his heart collapsed with a roar.

He reached out and touched her cheeks, flushed from drink, and asked softly: "Wife Master, do you like Fei Yan?"

Su Mo's hazy, drunken eyes locked onto his, and she slowly nodded: "I like……"

Fei Yan's eyes darkened suddenly, and a surge of wicked fire flared in his chest.

Leaning in close to her, he whispered temptingly: "How much do you like me? Mo Mo, prove it to me… okay?"

Su Mo's eyes curved into smiles, she wrapped her arms around his neck, tilted her head slightly, and kissed his lips.

As she was about to lie back down, he suddenly grabbed her in a fierce embrace.

His kiss was wilder than any before, and each of her helpless struggles only drove him further into frenzy.

From the corner of her mouth, his kisses trailed downwards.

He madly wanted to leave his mark upon her body.

Each of her soft moans was like a catalyst destroying his reason.

A voice in his heart shouted: If he couldn't be her Right Husband, being her first Beast Husband would do too!

He wanted to be her first Beast Husband!

He wanted to be her first……

He was so desperately eager…… for her.

But.

The remnants of his reason pulled him back from the brink of losing control.

No…

She has already chosen her Right Husband; doing this would only put her in a difficult position.

He did not want to put her in a difficult position.

His love should not become her burden.

If she were the wind, he would be content to be a leaf swept by her breeze; if she happened to blow past his branches, that would already be a gift of fate.

It was his greed……

He shouldn't have been so greedy.

Fei Yan closed his eyes slightly, clenched his fists tightly, and pressed his vain thoughts deep into the darkest part of his heart. Not being the Right Husband was fine; not being the first was fine too—as long as he could stay by her side, that would be the best outcome.

He ought to be content……

Su Mo quickly fell into a deep sleep; before her lingering consciousness faded completely, she seemed to feel a warm liquid slip across her neck.

Xiao Jiu came running out in a fluster, shouting: "Host, the first male lead to break the hundred-point mark has appeared! Fei Yan's Affection Level has exceeded one hundred~ Our experiment is upgraded!!"

The only response was Su Mo's even breathing……

Xiao Jiu sighed helplessly: "Just how much did you drink to get like this?"

Fei Yan calmed his emotions, tidied Su Mo's clothes, got up, and opened that window.

He gazed toward Mo Xiao downstairs; their eyes met, both filled with calm.

He knew Mo Xiao had arrived long ago, and he had personally seen him carrying the Wife Master upstairs.
