Chapter 127: with translation of title
Mo Xiao went to the Tribe Chief's place; the Tribe Chief and Chief's Wife not only suffered serious injuries but were also poisoned.
Huang Ming had already used medicine to stabilize the pulse, but the person still showed no signs of waking.
He glanced at Mo Xiao and discussed with him: "Could we please ask Miss Su to come take a look?"
Mo Xiao furrowed his brows.
Last night's ordeal was too intense; the Wife Master had just fallen asleep not long ago.
Yue Ying raised an eyebrow and said: "This afternoon."
Anyway, the pulse is stabilized; let's just wait it out.
Huang Ming furrowed his brow, glanced at Fei Yan, seeing that the High Priest also had no intention to speak, so he could only nod.
The few people quickly went to see Xuan Wei and Xuan Shuang, the two Tiger Clan misses, who were remarkably calm.
Xuan Shuang looked at Mo Xiao, then at Fei Yan and said: "I'm afraid we'll have to bother you for a few more days."
"No problem; please continue to cooperate with the investigation."
"Of course."
After Fei Yan asked a few questions, he left their room. Xuan Wei looked at her calm younger sister and said helplessly: "Third Brother is trapped in the North Wing; it's fine if you feel no worry, but why do you seem rather excited?"
Xuan Shuang laughed: "Is it that obvious?"
Xuan Wei shook her head helplessly: "You're not at all afraid he might get hurt? He's currently the prime suspect."
"No matter what, he's still the Tiger Clan's Third Young Master; those people wouldn't dare take his life. Besides, he's an EightTierBeastman; a little injury is nothing."
The more Xuan Shuang spoke, the more agitated she became: "I was worried about lacking an excuse to keep him in the North Wing, but now it's perfect—such an obvious frame-up; Miss Su isn't foolish, so she'll naturally deal with it when the time comes; why should I bother them?"
Prison cell.
Fei Yan went to see the Third Young Master; Xuan Qing had suffered some lashings, with fine bloodstains marking his plain white robe, yet his face remained calm and carefree, as if those injuries weren't on him at all.
Having finished asking all the necessary questions, Fei Yan this time only asked about the doubtful points.
"The one who injured the Tribe Chief and his wife used the Tiger Clan's secret technique, and the Third Young Master just happened to be unconscious outside the Tribe Chief's quarters—what exactly happened last night?"
Xuan Qing said in a calm tone: "I was lured out, and during the fight I was given a Confusing Drug. The opponent forged my skills and injured the Tribe Chief and his wife."
Fei Yan frowned at Huang Ming, who nodded: "He indeed has Confusing Drug in his system, plus some Beast Binding Pill components, but I can't determine the exact ingredients; perhaps we still need Miss Su to come take a look."
Fei Yan frowned and asked: "Could the Third Young Master please describe last night's situation in more detail?"
……
Shortly after, Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, and the others left the prison.
Yue Ying couldn't help but frown and said: "The North Wing has been sealed off, right? Let's check each person to see where this person actually is."
Fei Yan frowned and said: "Xuan Qing is an EightTierBeastman; the opponent can match him and even give him a Confusing Drug, so their skill must be superior. Trying to easily find them is probably not easy."
Mo Xiao frowned and said: "I will arrange personnel to strengthen the guard."
When we arrived home, Cang Lan and Ye Yuan were both in the courtyard.
Fei Yan explained a few things to them, gave some instructions, then followed Yue Ying and Mo Xiao upstairs to take a look.
Su Mo was sleeping deeply.
Black hair spread across the bed, her slender body wrapped in a thin beast-skin blanket, and the exposed shoulders faintly revealed shocking marks.
Yue Ying, somewhat irritated, glared at Mo Xiao—Stinky Snake, don't you know to take it easy!
After leaving Su Mo's room, Fei Yan frowned and said: "Let's wake the Wife Master at lunchtime."
Mo Xiao and Yue Ying said nothing, after all, whether it's the Tribe Chief or Xuan Qing's side, the Wife Master needs to go over as soon as possible.
Su Mo had slept extremely deeply this morning, and later woke up from hunger.
As she turned over, she heard footsteps outside.
Blearily opening her eyes, she saw Fei Yan push the door and enter.
He walked over, helped the still somewhat dazed person up: "Since the Wife Master is awake, let's get up and eat something; we'll need to head out later."
Su Mo leaned softly against his chest, unconsciously rubbing: "Is something wrong?"
"Mm." Fei Yan whispered: "Last night the Tribe Chief and Chief's Wife were ambushed, using the Tiger Clan's secret technique; they remain unconscious. That Third Young Master is also imprisoned."
"Really?"
Su Mo frowned, and all sleepiness vanished instantly.
【So much happened in just one night?!】
While helping her dress, Fei Yan briefly explained the situation he knew.
Su Mo furrowed her brows.
【Sounds like Jin Tong's doing—that damned fellow always likes to find trouble for me! I don't know where the grandmother offended him, but he loves to oppose me!】
Fei Yan frowned and said: "After eating, I'll accompany the Wife Master to take a look."
Su Mo nodded, and upon standing she inexplicably felt her legs go weak.
Fortunately, Fei Yan timely supported her…
As she lifted her gaze, she happened to meet Fei Yan's half-smiling eyes: "Shall I hold you?"
Su Mo's face instantly flushed: "No, no need!!!"
【Mo Xiao is really over the top! This young lady decides to ignore them for the next ten days!】
Fei Yan raised an eyebrow: "One person makes a mistake, and the rest are punished together?"
"That won't do."
As Su Mo took a step, the person beside her pulled her into an embrace; a low, amused voice sounded in her ear: "Mo'er, rest assured, I won't be excessive like him; I will treat you as a treasure. Won't you not neglect me?"
Su Mo's heart skipped a beat.
【Do all Beastmen have the Peeping Heart Technique?!】
She blushed and said: "You've also learned the fox's tricks now?"
"Coaxing you, what need is there to study?" He reached out to brush away the loose hair at her neck, then lowered his head and gently rubbed against her: "When you frown, I can guess what you're thinking; when you purse your lips, I can guess what you want to say. So, Wife Master, don't neglect Fei Yan, okay?"
"Mm, you're the best." Su Mo couldn't help but reach out and embrace the person before her.
She tiptoed and lightly kissed his Adam's apple.
Fei Yan's eyes flickered, and the next second he reached out to caress her slender waist, deepening the kiss.
Su Mo quickly lost herself in his kiss, and by the time she came to, he had already laid her on the bed.
She turned her head to avoid his delicate, lingering kiss, and softly said to him: "You… could you… wait two days…?"
Fei Yan's motion paused, his dark, deep eyes gazing at her.
He lightly laughed and replied: "All right, I'll wait another two days."
It was his momentary urgency that made him lose composure; Wife Master hasn't fully recovered yet, so he shouldn't have been so impatient.
Fei Yan pulled her up from the bed and gently held her in his arms.
Hearing her soft voice discussing with him, he said: "Three days, okay…?"
Fei Yan lowered his head, his warm, lustrous eyes fixed on her as he said word by word: "As long as you are the Wife Master, I am willing to wait however long."
Su Mo blushed and clung tightly to him.
Outside the door, Yue Ying, who had been eavesdropping at the wall corner for half a day, was so angry his eyes weren't eyes and his nose wasn't a nose.
"Tsk, he said that a lone ground chicken going upstairs isn't simple; the trick to winning over the Wife Master really leaves one defenseless!"
Turning around, he saw Mo Xiao, who had appeared behind him at some point, and he snorted: "Although you are the Right Husband now, you cannot abuse your private rights; don't even think about monopolizing the Wife Master."
Mo Xiao lightly raised his brows and said: "If you have the ability, go compete; if you're inferior, don't take it out on me."
After saying that, he gave a light laugh, turned, and walked out.
"You damned snake, you're about to make this fox die of anger!!!" Yue Ying gritted his teeth and glared at his retreating back.
Then he glanced again into the room, and he simply wouldn't believe it! If he can't beat that damned snake, fine, but could he really not outdo this damned ground chicken?!
We'll see!
