Chapter 121: Practice With That Snake

A moment later, Mo Xiao came up from downstairs.

He glanced at Su Mo, who was lying on her side on the bed, and at the red mark on her neck, his expression calm and unruffled.

Fei Yan was about to speak when he heard him say, "I was just uneasy, so I came to check. Since you're both fine, I'll head back now. Tomorrow morning there's no need to rush her awake; let her sleep a bit longer."

Fei Yan replied softly, "Alright."

Mo Xiao finished his instructions and turned to leave.

Su Mo slept deeply, the soft moonlight outside the window falling on the side of her face, outlining a delicate contour.

The next morning, when she got up, Fei Yan was not in the room.

In her mind, Xiao Jiu's cheerful voice rang, "Host, you finally woke up!"

Su Mo responded groggily, "Hmm?"

"Fei Yan's Affection Level has surpassed one hundred; the Laboratory and Spirit Spring Space have both been upgraded."

"What?" Su Mo snapped awake, pulling up the System Panel. Indeed, both had been upgraded; the Spirit Spring Space and the System Laboratory were now larger.

After the Laboratory upgrade, it could research finer items, and the product functions would also be enhanced.

Pills of the same formula that come from the System Space have stronger, more intense effects.

Additionally, many plant seeds were sent, including wheat and rice seeds.

However, this season in the Beast World isn't suitable for planting, so they'll have to wait.

Su Mo took out some plant seeds and planted the remaining portion in the Spirit Spring Space.

The Spirit Spring Space's growth speed is rapid; once some things mature, a large batch of seeds can be harvested again.

She also conveniently retrieved some Pills she had previously researched.

Su Mo asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you need that thing to break the percentage? What happened last night…?"

Xiao Jiu raised an eyebrow, "You don't even remember yourself; how could I know?"

"Stop faking it, you love to peek the most!"

Xiao Jiu: "It's unfair~ At the crucial moment you just pixelated my whole face and muted it. How could I know what happened later? All I know is that at the start, you kissed him once!"

"Me?! …"

Su Mo was about to ask something else when Fei Yan suddenly pushed the door open.

His warm gaze fell on her face, "Wife Master is awake; freshen up a bit and I'll take you to eat."

Su Mo nodded and quietly sized him up.

Fei Yan's expression remained normal; she couldn't detect any abnormality at all.

【I guess nothing happened last night? I was really drunk and muddled; how can I go back and explain to that snake? After all, I promised that snake, and when the wedding day comes…】

Fei Yan's brow twitched slightly, just as he was about to explain.

【No, no, there should have been nothing? Otherwise why would I feel nothing at all? Fei Yan shouldn't be that… weak…】

Fei Yan listened to these thoughts, and for a moment didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh.

He pulled her to sit in front of the Bronze Mirror, "Let me comb Wife Master's hair."

The Bronze Mirror was foggy, but Su Mo could faintly see the shocking red mark on her neck.

She froze, tugging at her collar…

【Heavens, even if I was the one who initiated it, he can't be that ruthless… Could I really have been that drunk and forgotten?】

【If I go back like this, the snake won't be angry, right? Alcohol really shouldn't be drunk recklessly; I'll drink less next time… otherwise I'll have to go back and coax it???】

Fei Yan gave a slight curl of his lips; it was rare to see a hint of guilt on Wife Master's little fox face.

But thinking of her coaxing Mo Xiao made his chest feel sour.

It's fine; there will always be a time when she soothes herself.

For now, let her practice with that snake first.

Fei Yan helped her insert the Wooden Hairpin and said softly, "All set."

Su Mo glanced at him; his embrace was surprisingly good.

She had breakfast.

Su Mo took him to find the worker from yesterday, urging him to quickly finish the item she needed.

Then the two returned to the village.

When they arrived home, Yue Ying and Ye Yuan were preparing lunch.

Seeing Su Mo return, Ye Yuan sprinted over.

"Wife Master, you're back!"

Su Mo squinted and nodded, and the next second he swept her into his arms.

"Wife Master, I missed you so much."

Ye Yuan held her tighter, greedily inhaling the scent from her body.

He was supposed to look after Wife Master last night, but she didn't return.

He had long wanted to hold her like this, but since arriving in the village, Wife Master has always been busy, and he could never find a chance to speak with her alone.

This morning after getting up, he kept pondering how to let her know his longing for her.

But upon seeing her, those words he'd been brewing for so long were instantly cast aside.

Ye Yuan asked eagerly, "Did you miss me, Wife Master?"

"Hmm, yes."

That simple sentence made a smile spread across Ye Yuan's eyebrows and eyes.

Yue Ying emerged from the kitchen, glanced at Ye Yuan hanging onto Wife Master, and let out an unhappy hum.

His gaze passed over the mark on Su Mo's neck, and his brow involuntarily furrowed.

He really did underestimate that bird; when it comes to snatching food from a tiger's jaws, he now does it without any hesitation.

All that talk of dignity and self‑restraint is nothing but lies that deceive others and oneself.

Yue Ying thought it over again and felt something was off.

When Mo Xiao returned last night, his face was clearly calm and untroubled.

I suppose last night Fei Yan and Wife Master didn't have any substantive relationship.

Yue Ying raised an eyebrow, the ground chicken finally held back.

After a while, Ye Yuan released Su Mo, and Cang Lan, eyes bright, walked over.

Looking at Su Mo with an expectant face, he said, "Wife Master, I also want to hug you."

Yue Ying hurried over, grabbed his outstretched hand and said, "What are you hugging? You reek of sweat, aren't you afraid of making Wife Master smell?"

After saying that, he shamelessly added, "Better let me do the hugging."

Before he could get close, Su Mo lifted two fingers and poked his forehead, pushing him away.

Then she turned and stepped away from Fei Yan, watching that fox with some wariness.

He keeps hugging endlessly, so don't let him hug!

Yue Ying snorted with a laugh: "You hide from me all day like you're hiding from Wen Shen. Do you think I could just eat you? Why don't you just dig out my heart and step on it a few times?"

Su Mo frowned.

【Dead Fox, the skin on the face has become even thicker.】

Yue Ying raised an eyebrow; he is now her rightful Beast Husband, so what's wrong with a hug?!

If his skin weren't so thick, could he have smoothly secured this position?!

When a person should be shameless, then don't be; look at everyone in this room, which one is the cheap lamp.

Besides, he's just a fox; what's the point of having a face?

Su Mo looked around, frowned and asked, "Where's Mo Xiao?"

Yue Ying explained, "He went back to the Snake Clan to handle some matters; he should be back in a while."

"Oh." Su Mo replied, then subconsciously, feeling guilty, touched her neck.

【Should I, before he returns, exchange a Foundation Liquid from the System Mall to cover up?】

【Just thinking of coaxing that snake makes my heart flutter… He doesn't look like an easy snake to coax~】

A few others couldn't help but raise a slight eyebrow: Wife Master feeling guilty too? How rare!

Coaxing the snake, fine!

If she pampers that snake now, later she'll let her pamper them!

No rush, just watch the play.

Su Mo turned around, met those few's gazes, couldn't help but frown: why are their looks so strange?

Just as she turned, she saw Mo Xiao, who had somehow already been standing not far behind her.

His deep, calm gaze fell on her, then fixed on her neck.
