Chapter 136: Your heat cycle has arrived

Considering Su Mo's poor alcohol tolerance, A Nuan didn't let her drink much, mainly because Cang Lan across from her kept looking at her with a murderous gaze…

Don't look at this leopard's few words; in front of Su Mo he's like a tamed big cat, but he is a renowned assassin from North Wing.

A single glare from you, the killing intent in your eyes is enough to make people shudder.

A Nuan glanced at Cang Lan's eyes and instantly felt her own beast husband was better!

Fortunately she had seen the error of her ways early on and didn't really bring those frightening pried-open things over; otherwise she couldn't have handled it……

After eating, A Nuan bade farewell to her two beast husbands and left.

They weren't planning to return to the village tonight; instead they found a small inn in town to stay, after all she still had to come to Su Mo's place for work tomorrow.

Su Mo swayed as she rose, saw them to the door, then reached into her waist and shoved a pouch into Cang Lan's hand.

She said, slightly tipsy: 'You, you go help them arrange lodging.'

A Nuan wanted to say it wasn't necessary trouble, but seeing Cang Lan's stern expression, she decided against it after all.

Su Mo's words, in front of this leopard, are like an imperial decree; her refusal would be meaningless……

Su Mo, slightly tipsy, tilted her head and stood at the doorway, smiling and waving at them.

After their line of sight disappeared before her eyes, she only felt her head grow more dizzy.

She turned and swayed upstairs, remembering there was a bed up there.

Xuan Qing turned around and saw her staggering toward the stairwell.

He frowned slightly, then ultimately followed after her.

"Thud——"

Su Mo bumped into something, and her whole body uncontrollably fell downward.

"Wuu~ save……"

At the moment she was about to fall, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist and lifted her whole body into the air.

She unexpectedly collided with a solid chest.

"Be careful."

A low voice sounded in her ear.

Su Mo blinked dazedly, unexpectedly meeting Xuan Qing's lake‑calm eyes, and gave a bright smile: 'Thanks~'

Her eyes, moist with a hint of intoxication, lacked her usual vigilance and nonchalance, instead revealing a touch of playfulness.

Her cheeks were flushed, making her look inexplicably cute.

The scent of wine mingling with her aura from her nostrils made Xuan Qing involuntarily furrow his brow.

He steadied her, then took a slight step back.

When Cang Lan returned, he happened to witness this scene.

He pressed his lips together, and a murderous aura immediately emanated from his whole body.

He strode quickly toward Su Mo and then swept her up in a waist‑hold embrace.

After taking Su Mo upstairs, Cang Lan soon went back down to draw bathwater.

By then Xuan Qing was no longer in the inn.

Su Mo soaked in the tub for a while; when she opened her eyes, she saw Cang Lan squatting beside her tub, looking at her with a somewhat resentful gaze.

Su Mo furrowed her brows and asked, puzzled: 'What's wrong?'

Cang Lan drawled: 'Third Young Master… touched the Wife Master's waist.'

"……"

Su Mo's mind wasn't fully clear yet; she mumbled: 'Is there… any relation?'

"Yes!" Cang Lan frowned: 'The Wife Master is mine!'

Su Mo shook her head, correcting solemnly: 'I am… I am my own.'

Cang Lan, a bit sulky, said: 'The Wife Master likes him, not me!'

Su Mo belatedly realized something, shaking her head: 'I do… like.'

Cang Lan gripped the edge of the wooden tub with both hands, his dark gaze fixed on her, and carefully confirmed: 'Does the Wife Master like me more, or Third Young Master more?'

Su Mo chuckled, galaxies swirling in her eyes: 'I can answer this question!'

"Naturally it's you~ Little Leopard!"

The next second came a 'plunk' as something fell into the tub……

To be precise, it jumped in!

Before Su Mo could react, the person in front of her grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her.

She instinctively wanted to retreat, but there was nowhere to go.

Cang Lan's aura swept over like a scorching, domineering tide.

Like a wildfire sweeping the plains, she instinctively wanted to grab onto something, but whatever she touched was so hot it startled her.

Su Mo, having drunk alcohol, could barely fend him off.

No, even without alcohol she had no strength to resist.

He completely locked her in his embrace, leaving her no escape or dodge.

"I also like the Wife Master, I like her so much……"

Su Mo's thoughts went blank for a moment, and his voice sounded again in her ear.

"You may like him a little, but the Wife Master must also like me!"

"……"

In her dazed, enamored state, he leaned against her neck and hoarsely asked: 'Wife Master… tonight, may I not?'

He was clearly at the end of his patience, yet he still restrained the fire of desire within him.

Su Mo's cheeks were flushed as she leaned against his chest, her voice soft and out of tune: "Are you in your estrus period?"

"If Wife Master doesn't want to, I can endure…"

He strained to control the force of his embrace, as if afraid of hurting her.

Even more afraid that if he let go, she would vanish from his arms.

"What they can give you, I can too. Perhaps I could do even better. All of them are your Beast Husbands—must there be a strict order?"

He knew, Wife Master had previously promised Fei Yan…

Su Mo's consciousness returned for a moment, and her breathing eased.

She reached out and embraced the person before her, murmuring in a low voice: "I didn't say no…"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt her waist tighten.

Before she could regain her senses, she had already been laid on the bed by him.

Probably due to the estrus period, Cang Lan's movements hinted at a hint of urgency.

That overbearing force made her somewhat panicked.

As the scorching breath brushed past her ear, it carried obvious agitation.

He seemed to be desperately restraining something, yet each touch carried the posture of devouring her alive.

The hand gripping her waist was hot enough to make her tremble, yet he dared not use too much force.

This contradictory restraint made his reason seem on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

Su Mo was a little afraid he would go mad on the bed… she certainly didn't want to be unable to see anyone the next day.

"Cang, Cang Lan…"

She tried to speak to pull back his reason: "I………"

He loomed over her, his crystal‑bright eyes gazing at her: "Wife Master, I am here."

"You today must… listen to me. I want to…"

Cang Lan's eyes suddenly flared with fire, his voice hoarse: "Good."

…

Just as Su Mo was drifting off to sleep, the person who had been obedient all night suddenly turned the tables.

Her misty, watery eyes looked at him: "You…"

Cang Lan's reddened eye corners looked at him, whispering: "I have heard the words, Wife Master must also obey."

!!!

Downstairs.

Xuan Qing heard the noises from upstairs and couldn't help but frown.

He slightly clenched his hand, took a deep breath, and went elsewhere.

Yet those alluring, charming voices sounded like a spell etched in his mind, impossible to dispel.

At this moment, in North Wing Village.

Yue Ying stared at the village entrance, longing to see through.

Turning around, he saw Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, and Ye Yuan also standing in the night.

The fox gritted his teeth resentfully: "Silly leopard, you're quite capable!"

He was busy guarding against the free‑range chickens, never expecting to be outmaneuvered by that silly leopard!

Yue Ying fumed and stormed around the courtyard!

After circling once, he suddenly thought: "Could it be Xuan Qing?"

The moment that idea crossed his mind, he grew even more furious!

He would rather it be Cang Lan than that Third Young Master.

Mo Xiao's eyes darkened, and he turned toward the rooms.

"Wife Master won't return tonight; no need to wait."

Fei Yan furrowed his brows, worrying only that Cang Lan might hurt Wife Master with his lack of restraint.

In town.

Su Mo later didn't even know when she finally fell asleep; by the end she had no strength left to speak.

That silly leopard was originally full of brute vigor, and with the estrus period he was practically on drugs! She really had to exhaust all her methods and strength to lull him to sleep…

She also had no idea when Cang Lan got up the next day.

…

When Cang Lan got up, Xuan Qing wasn't in the shop; he went straight to the back to start preparing breakfast.

By the time he finished breakfast and came to the front shop, he saw Xuan Qing returning with some pastries he'd bought outside.

The two exchanged a glance, neither wanting to speak first.

As Xuan Qing stepped into the house, he couldn't help but frown: "There's an odd aura in the house—who came by?"

Cang Lan startled, and in the next instant he flashed upstairs.

Soon Xuan Qing also arrived gracefully.

Looking at the empty bed, both couldn't help but furrow their brows.

Xuan Qing made a quick decision, telling Cang Lan: "You go track her, I'll go to the village to rally people and mark the way along the route!"

As soon as the words fell, Cang Lan shot off like a bolt of lightning.
