Chapter 152: Little Rascal, Wait for Me

Su Mo looked at the person before her and couldn't help but frown slightly.

After only a few days apart, Lan Ling looked as if he had become much more haggard than before.

She looked at the panting person before her, furrowed her brow and asked, "Lord Lan Ling, you came in the middle of the night—what happened?"

Lan Ling paused briefly and said, "Miss Su, the Dragon Clan has erupted with a plague; the clan is now... in chaos. The Military Advisor sent me to fetch you."

Before Su Mo could speak, Feiyun hurried, "Now our North Wing is the same; Miss Su, how can you leave?"

Lan Ling's brows furrowed for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

The Military Advisor only sent him to invite someone, but hadn't anticipated that the North Wing would also erupt with a plague.

Su Mo furrowed her brow and said, "You come with me first and explain the Dragon Clan's situation clearly."

Lan Ling nodded, followed Su Mo back, and while walking explained the current state of the Dragon Clan to her.

Su Mo understood why Long Yan had left without saying goodbye that day; it must have been because the Dragon Clan's situation arose then.

Such a thing can develop rapidly in just a few days; surely Long Yan has also been overwhelmed lately.

After arriving home, Su Mo asked Lan Ling about the Dragon Clan's treatment and protection measures.

Most Shaman Doctors still understand, but the spread was too swift; currently the treatment effect is slow, and the number of people keeps rising.

Su Mo thought and said, "Now the North Wing is also in chaos, the Shaman Doctor is ill, and I can't get away these days, but I can write some prescriptions; you take them back first."

Lan Ling also knew it was hard to pull someone away now; he nodded, "Alright, I trouble you, Miss Su."

Soon Ye Yuan fetched paper and pen.

Su Mo wrote three prescriptions: "Severe patients take this; for prevention follow this prescription; the last is a backup adjustment list. Your clan's Shaman Doctors should understand. If there is no improvement, you may come find me at any time."

Lan Ling carefully packed the items, nodded, "Thank you, Miss Su, I'm heading back now!"

"Wait a moment!" Su Mo called out, taking a packet of Pills from her waist, "These are preventive Pills; take them back to the Minor General. Relay exactly what I told you to him, and he'll know what to do."

"Hmm!"

Lan Ling took the items and set off at night, racing back.

After seeing the person off, Fei Yan turned his head to Su Mo, "It's getting late; Wife Master, you should rest and sleep early."

Su Mo shook her head, "No rush."

She immediately walked over, took a few more sheets to write prescriptions, then looked at Xuan Qing and said, "Take this back to the Tiger Clan."

Now both the North Wing and the Dragon Clan have problems; the next might be the Tiger Clan. Some matters must be prevented early.

Mo Xiao furrowed his brow, displeased, "Third Young Master's suspicion hasn't been cleared; leaving the North Wing now could cause trouble, let me go instead."

Su Mo thought it over and found his words reasonable.

If a schemer again pins the plague on Xuan Qing, his departure from the North Wing will be even more impossible.

She nodded, "Fine."

Su Mo also gave him a packet of Pills, "Go quickly and return quickly; be careful on the road."

"Mo'er, don't worry."

After finishing the instructions, Su Mo returned to her room.

Before departing, Mo Xiao said a few words to Xuan Qing, "Third Young Master, do you have anything that needs me to take back?"

Xuan Qing shook his head, "No."

He turned to leave, but heard Mo Xiao say, "I ran that errand for you, consider it repaid... your evening care for Wife Master."

Xuan Qing whispered, "Snake Young Master speaks too heavily; a trivial matter doesn't merit reciprocity. If she feels indebted to me, she'll repay me herself; no need to trouble others."

Having spoken, Xuan Qing strode away, giving Mo Xiao no further chance to speak.

Mo Xiao's brows furrowed, and as he turned he saw Fei Yan under a nearby tree, smiling ambiguously at him.

Fei Yan walked over, raised an eyebrow and laughed, "That Third Young Master is sharp and clear; it's hard to refute him. Your pointed remarks become trivial to him, like a punch on cotton, causing no ripple."

"Even Wife Master can't win his favor, let alone you and me; having such a rival is a three‑life blessing."

Mo Xiao let out a light hum, "Such a blessing—who wants it, who takes it—I'm not interested!"

Fei Yan snorted, "If he started from the same point as us, the Right Husband contest that day would have been fiercer; it's hard to say whose side the flower would fall on."

Fei Yan doesn't like Xuan Qing as a rival, but setting aside that rivalry, Xuan Qing's abilities are among the best.

"Fortunately he met Wife Master a bit later; otherwise we wouldn't know what situation we'd be in today."

Mo Xiao frowned, "There are no 'ifs'; some things, once late, are simply late."

Having said that, he took the items Su Mo gave him and turned away.

Upstairs, Su Mo had just finished washing and was lying on the bed when Yue Ying, that fox, darted into her room in a flash.

Su Mo's eyes were cautious as she stared at the cheeky, smiling person before her, "Can't you just settle down?"

Yue Ying quickly slipped off his shoes and socks, lay down his robe, shamelessly pulled her into his arms and said, "I'm not doing anything, just holding you to sleep."

Su Mo was speechless, "You'd better keep your word!"

The person in front immediately wore an innocent face, "I do want to be capricious, but aren't you inconvenient right now~"

"..."

"Wife Master, I want to ask you something~"

Su Mo mumbled, "Ask me tomorrow."

"No, I want to ask now."

Su Mo gave no answer.

Yue Ying leaned close to her ear and whispered, "What medicine did Xuan Qing give you to drink last night? Did he... bully you?"

He must figure out the rival's tactics to defeat the rival quickly! Naturally, this can't be asked of that Third Young Master; even if he asked, the Third Young Master would definitely keep his mouth shut.

So let's just test our own Wife Master a bit!

Su Mo nestled in his arms, eyes closed.

【I won't tell him!】

Yue Ying frowned, deliberately threatening: "If you don't speak, I'll kiss you!"

Su Mo slightly raised an eyebrow【At this time, using this kind of thing to threaten the young lady, do you think I'm a vegetarian?】

Yue Ying furrowed his brows.

Before he could react, he saw the person in his arms lift their gaze toward him, blinking a pair of limpid eyes at him.

Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Yue Ying: "!!!"

Su Mo has also learned quite a few skills lately, and she thinks she's made some progress.

Normally, she might not dare use these moves on a fox, but today she seems rather fearless.

Yue Ying quickly felt his whole body heat up from her kiss, his fox eyes gazing softly at the person before him. He could hardly resist her active teasing……

He flipped over, pressing her down, his eyes scarlet as he looked at her, eager to go further.

Su Mo lifted her gaze to block his approaching body, rather helplessly saying: "It's not convenient today, you take care of yourself, be good~"

The fox seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water, gritting his teeth as he looked at her, his voice hoarse and broken: "My little Mo'er is the most exasperating! She knows exactly how to seize my vital point……"

Yue Ying had originally wanted her to help him, but thinking about the current time, not knowing when it would end after finishing, he decided against it. After all, tomorrow she still has things to do.

He unwillingly got out of bed, quickly put on his clothes, and looked at the person lying on the bed smiling smugly.

He threw down harsh words: "Little Bad Egg, you wait for me! Sooner or later I'll make you pay!"

Su Mo smiled fearlessly, saying that future matters could be discussed later; anyway, today she could have peace and quiet.
