Chapter 122: Eve of the Wedding

Su Mo didn't know that Mo Xiao later went into her room.

In fact, last night, when he saw Fei Yan carrying her into the house, he had already made up his mind.

If Fei Yan really did something with her, he would at most be a bit jealous and wouldn't truly get angry with her over it.

He does desire to be her first Beast Husband, but if she truly chose someone else, he can only respect her decision.

But now, hearing her say she'll coax him, he is genuinely a bit hopeful.

She hasn't even coaxed him before.

Su Mo doesn't know his thoughts, and a hint of guilt flickers in her eyes.

Mo Xiao suddenly strides toward her, then reaches out to gently stroke her slender neck.

His fingertips softly caress the mark on her neck.

In an emotionless tone he asks, "Wife Master, were you happy last night?"

Su Mo's heart flutters; she widens her eyes slightly.

【Is he setting a trap for me?! If I say I was happy, wouldn't he be even angrier? If I say I wasn't, then Fei Yan would be the one he's angry at…】

Mo Xiao deliberately says, "If you say nothing, it means you were happy."

"Um, well… I had a bit of wine last night, I don't really remember…"

"Is that so?"

Mo Xiao throws those two words out meaningfully, then turns and walks away.

Su Mo frowns as she watches his back.

【Is he really angry?】

【I didn't do it on purpose… I just drank too much~】

Xiao Jiu: "Host, go coax him~"

Su Mo grits her teeth, hesitates, then frowns and snorts, "Don't coax him, spoil him! He just became Right Husband and already gives me the cold shoulder! How can I deal with that in the future?"

Mo Xiao in front of her flinches, and indeed… he shouldn't have had expectations.

He is hesitating whether to turn around and go back to her.

Xiao Jiu: "... You're so stubborn, you'll have trouble later~ Don't forget, in two days you're supposed to get married~ You know, when that Stinky Snake goes crazy, *tch*~"

"…I, can I still be afraid of him! You unreliable thing, stop scaring me!"

Su Mo frowns and continues, "Modern women can still divorce after marriage; why does the Beast World have to be locked down?"

Xiao Jiu: "Um… taking a break from husband is troublesome…"

"Things depend on people!"

Mo Xiao suddenly clenches his fist, his temples throbbing.

Just after the registration, she dares to think about these things; he'll eventually be driven mad with anger by her!

He can't help but want to instantly turn, grab her, and forcefully shut her mouth.

Before he can look back, rustling footsteps come from behind. Su Mo jogs over, grabs his wrist, smiles with curved eyebrows, a face full of flattery.

"Xiao Xiao, where are you going~ Let me go with you, okay~"

Xiao Jiu: "Where's your ambition? The grand words you just said, you forgot as soon as you turned around??"

Su Mo: "Shut up, trap junk!"

Mo Xiao's gloomy eyes suddenly brighten.

He forces his mouth into a smile, deliberately gives her a neutral glance, and keeps walking forward.

Su Mo frowns 【What does he mean? Is he pulling me? That's over the line!】

Xiao Jiu thinks to herself, "Tch, that Stinky Snake got a thrill again! My grin is so wide I can barely contain it."

Xiao Jiu: "Host, please keep up your domineering, majestic dignity! You should stomp your foot, warn him to recognize his place!!! Leave him for a few days, see if he behaves!!!"

Su Mo frowns, "Shut up, don't even think of harming me!"

She jogs after him, grabs Mo Xiao's hand, squints and says, "What do you want for lunch~ I'll cook it for you, okay?"

Mo Xiao glances at her, "I'm not eating, I'm full of anger."

He just registered and already wants a break from husband; he thinks she wants his life.

"Hey, calm down~ Have some candy!"

She says that while peeling a candy and stuffing it into his mouth.

Mo Xiao opens his mouth in cooperation, then unexpectedly lowers his head and kisses her.

Mumbling, he says, "Let's eat together."

Then he carries her to a nearby tree, traps her completely in his embrace, and acts recklessly.

After a while, Su Mo struggles to break free from his entanglement.

A low chuckle reaches her ears, "If, in the future, Wife Master wants to apologize, do it like this, understand?"

Su Mo has no energy to answer him at all.

She only hears him chuckle again, "Did you learn? If not, I can teach you again."

Su Mo presses her tingling lips, pushes him aside, and turns away.

【He really got me into this… I won't learn; if I do learn, he'll only become more outrageous!】

Mo Xiao watches her back, can't help but curl his lips into a smile.

He turns and chases after her, shamelessly asking, "Mo'er, if you didn't like the way just now, we can try another?"

Su Mo, cheeks slightly flushed, glares at him, "Shut up!"

Mo Xiao laughs softly.

Early the next morning, Su Mo, with a modest gift, goes with Mo Xiao to the Snake Clan.

In fact, when Su Mo and Mo Xiao became engaged earlier, the members of the Snake Clan were not supportive at all and hadn't taken the matter to heart, always thinking that the Snake Young Master would eventually dissolve the marriage with this female called Su Mo.

But they didn't expect that, in the blink of an eye, they would actually be getting married.

Having heard that the little female had recently succeeded in detoxifying and become very beautiful, could that be the reason the Snake Young Master is so determined to marry her?

They actually want to see just how beautiful Su Mo is, that she can make the usually composed Young Master utterly infatuated.

Therefore, the elders and stewards of the Snake Clan, upon hearing that Su Mo was coming, gathered early at the house.

Mo Xiao and Su Mo arrived at a time that was neither early nor late, precisely when the morning sunlight was at its gentlest and brightest.

When the two figures appeared in the courtyard, they quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Although they had already set their expectations, upon seeing Su Mo's face as it is now, they could not hide their astonishment.

Can a person's appearance truly undergo such an earth‑shattering change in such a short time?

Mo Xiao, holding her at the doorway, stood still and introduced everyone to her one by one.

His mother, named Mo Li, is called "Steward Li" by the clan, and she carries an air of authority. Mo Xiao's father is the more gentle among his mother's several Beast Husbands.

When he looked at Su Mo, his eyes were filled with boundless affection.

It seems Mo Xiao's temperament largely follows his mother's; there are many similarities in the gaze of mother and son.

Although they have now registered, the wedding has not yet been held, Su Mo thought that she should still call out "Steward Li".

But Mo Li spoke first: "Since you have already registered, just like Xiao'er, call me mother."

Su Mo nodded and politely called her.

There were actually quite a few people today; Mo Xiao's younger male cousin, younger female cousin… everyone had arrived.

Even before Su Mo arrived, Mo Li had already secretly sent people to investigate her.

She was also somewhat informed about their recent affairs in the various Tribes.

Naturally, she also knew about the incident the day before when Mo Xiao and those few, in Su Mo's courtyard, competed for the Principal Husband Position.

She did not expect that Mo Li's son would also have a day when he needed to compete for a position with others. Fortunately, in the end the boy managed to secure it; otherwise it would have been truly embarrassing.

Mo Li felt puzzled; this time seeing Su Mo was completely different from the feeling she had the last time.

Can a person truly undergo such a great change in a short period?

However, her doubts were quickly dispelled in the subsequent conversation.

The Su Mo of now is no longer the former her; one could even say they are worlds apart, so it's no wonder everyone flocks to her like birds to a worm.

Su Mo and Mo Xiao had lunch at the Snake Clan, and Mo Li took Su Mo to a room to show her the wedding dress she had prepared for them.

Craftsmanship in the Beast World is not complicated, but it excels in festivity.

"The wedding dress is prepared by the Right Husband's family; that's the custom. Today you both take it back together, and if anything is missing, tell me."

Su Mo nodded, "Thank you, mother and father."

After chatting for a while, Mo Xiao took his leave with Su Mo.

Seeing their departing backs, Mo Xiao's father, with a gentle expression, said, "Xiao'er's eye for choosing a Wife Master is as good as mine."

Mo Li let out a light laugh, turned and went back inside, too lazy to bother with him.

When Su Mo and Mo Xiao left the Snake Clan and passed through the Snake Clan's waters, she couldn't help but halt her steps.

Mo Xiao, surprised, "What's wrong?"

Su Mo crouched down and took a sip of the water.

【How strange, there is clearly a weird taste, yet it tastes like nothing.】

Mo Xiao also crouched down to taste, then frowned and said, "No problem, it's just this flavor."

Su Mo frowned, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Nevertheless, she still filled a water container, thinking to send it to the Laboratory for analysis when she had time.

On the eve before the wedding, Long Yan brought two Dragon Cubs to the North Wing.

Besides them, Lan Ling and the Military Advisor also came together.

The two Dragon Cubs instantly spotted Su Mo in the crowd and sprinted toward her.

"Sister Mo!"
