Chapter 149

As Su Mo turned, she saw Fei Yan walking toward her.

He came treading moonlight, his robe fluttering, dyed with a cold silver gleam. Before he drew near, Su Mo already saw the warm, moist smile in his brows and eyes, like a spring breeze on her face.

"Wife Master, Miss A Nuan."

Fei Yan stood still and greeted politely.

A Nuan nodded, smiling at Su Mo: "Since your Beast Husband has come to fetch you, I won't see you off."

"No need, rest early, I'll head back first."

After bidding farewell to A Nuan, Fei Yan took Su Mo's hand and walked back.

On the way back, Su Mo asked about Long Yan; Fei Yan explained: "He left in a hurry, but didn't say exactly why."

Su Mo frowned and said nothing.

Fei Yan tightened his grip on her hand a bit: "Wife Master, if you're worried, why not find a time and I'll accompany you to see the Dragon Clan."

"Let's talk later."

【If the Dragon Clan truly had matters, Long Yan should have come to find me, right?】

"Okay."

Fei Yan responded softly, then bent and squatted before her: "Mo'er, climb on, I'll carry you back."

Su Mo startled, then lay down on him with a smiling squint.

After being carried by him for a stretch, she noticed the direction was somewhat off.

Su Mo leaned to his ear and asked: "Aren't we going back?"

From his ear came Fei Yan's low, gentle voice: "No rush, I still want to stay a while longer with Mo'er."

With many people at home, such private moments are truly rare.

A hard-to-describe joy instantly colored Su Mo's brows and eyes; she hugged the person before her tighter.

Then she extended her slender fingers and pinched his earlobe.

As if on purpose, she continued all the way to his Adam's apple, making circles.

Fei Yan's Adam's apple rolled; he said helplessly: "Mo'er, no fooling around~"

Su Mo gave a light laugh, then leaned in to lightly touch his cheek, and gave a mischievous smile: "I'm going to mess around."

Her shameless look seemed to say, "What can you do about me?"

Fei Yan took a deep breath, then laughed helplessly.

Su Mo frowned, curious: "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at myself."

"Huh?"

"I stop you with my words, yet deep down I eagerly await your messing with me. Such saying one thing while meaning another, utterly hypocritical me, is indeed me."

Su Mo suddenly realized, so he likes this?

That's easy to say!

She leaned in again, kissing his chin and neck.

Fei Yan's breathing sank.

He flashed his body, pressing her beneath an ancient tree.

In a hoarse voice he said: "I don't want to move you tonight, don't keep provoking me."

Su Mo reached out and embraced the person before her, laughing: "Fine, let's see how long you can hold out."

Fei Yan's eyes dimmed slightly; his strained voice hinted at restraint: "I don't want to endure even a moment or a second longer, but you were exhausted yesterday; I… can't bear to let you suffer my entanglement tonight. Nor do I want to give you a bad experience. So I can wait, I can endure."

Even if he cannot become her Right Husband, he still hopes to be her one and only in her heart.

Su Mo leaned against his chest, murmuring: "I always go back on my words to you; will you…"

"No, I will never be angry with Mo'er, nor will I resent you."

He even felt this was good; perhaps then she would feel a twinge of guilt toward him?

He indulged in the thought that with this hint of guilt, perhaps he would stand apart from the others in her heart.

Su Mo reached out and hugged the person before her tightly, smiling brightly: "You're the best."

The next day.

When Su Mo woke up, Fei Yan and Ye Yuan had already prepared the things.

Everything she had taken from the System Space the previous night was also packed.

After breakfast, the three set out.

By the time they arrived at the shop, A Nuan and the other two clerks had already been there for a while.

Seeing Su Mo and them approach, A Nuan hurriedly brought people over to help tidy the merchandise.

She is orderly in her work, saving Su Mo much worry.

At noon break, Su Mo opened the System Mall and glanced.

Recently, her points have been growing rapidly.

Currently, aside from Ye Yuan's Affection Level stuck at 92, the Affection Levels of her other Beast Husbands have all reached full marks.

The Spirit Spring Space has upgraded; this time it's not just expanded, but also allows cultivation of special plants. For example, using Poison Liquid to nurture new Poison.

This is a good thing for Su Mo.

Su Mo's gaze swept over the lower row.

Lu Ren Jia: Affection Level 80.

Lu Ren Yi: -70.

Su Mo frowned; although she didn't care about Jin Tong's Affection Level, this thing really looks disgusting.

"It's just incomprehensible; I haven't seen that pervert at all these past two days, and his Affection Level being negative is truly outrageous!"

Take another look at the bottom.

Xuan Qing: Encryption.

Su Mo: "……".

She called out Xiao Jiu: "Can you finally be of any use? It's been so many days, and you're still encrypting?!"

Xiao Jiu: "Aren't you indifferent to his Affection Level~ why so worked up?"

Su Mo: "I don't care whether you're useful or not; that's a different matter!"

Xiao Jiu, slacking off, says: "Hmph~ Everyone says I'm useless, yet I'm the most unambitious, no one supports my lofty ambitions, and I still can't get up… Tongzi, that's just how I am! Do whatever you like~"

Su Mo: "……Can we still communicate normally?"

Xiao Jiu, dead serious: "I'm quite normal now; after switching to another system, I quit long ago~ When a handsome man is handed to your mouth, you don't even dare to take a bite. Tsk tsk, I see you're really being manipulated by those few now!"

Su Mo, gritting her teeth, says: "If you have the guts, say it again! Do you believe I'll really have those few erase you completely?"

Xiao Jiu: "……Um~ I'm off to a meeting! Goodbye!"

Having said that without waiting for Su Mo's reaction, he vanished without a trace.

Su Mo, angry, cursed that Dog System, then rolled up from the bed in a single motion.

Before she could even slip on her outer robe, Ye Yuan knocked and entered, carrying a bowl of Warm Water.

"Wife Master, have some water."

Su Mo reached out, took it, drank a few sips, then set it aside.

Then she saw Ye Yuan, his ears flushed red, sitting close to her.

"Wife Master, could you go downstairs later?"

Su Mo was startled: "Do you have something?"

Sitting close, she could smell his familiar, unique, faint Sea Salt Scent. Su Mo frowned, puzzled—why was there also a hint of a sweet taste?

Ye Yuan nodded, a shy blush spreading across his cheeks, then shook his head: "I just want to spend some time alone with Wife Master."

Su Mo looked at his hesitant expression, smiled slightly: "Alright!"

Ye Yuan tugged the sleeve of her inner garment, whispering: "Wife Master, now those few have all entered Binding Contracts, and only I…"

Although Fei Yan hasn't been queued yet, he already has a Binding Contract, so for Ye Yuan, Fei Yan doesn't count.

That leaves only him! He's in a hurry now!

Su Mo curiously watched the shimmering light‑blue scales flashing from the corner of his eye.

"Wow~ So glittering, it's just too beautiful!"

She couldn't help but reach out and touch; the tendrils were smooth and delicate, and as her fingertips brushed each, a dazzling light‑blue glow emanated.

"My Little Fish Person, truly gorgeous~"

Just as Su Mo, satisfied, was about to withdraw, a hand in front of her seized her wrist, and the next second he forcefully pulled her into his embrace.
