Chapter 153: Host, quickly test the totem's might!

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Su Mo got up.

However, the other people in the courtyard had risen even earlier than she; Cang Lan, Ye Yuan, and Fei Yan had already left.

Xuan Qing walked over carrying her breakfast and said, 'Early this morning, someone from the clan came and took them away; after you finish your meal in a bit, I'll take you there.'

Seeing the warm water he pushed over, Su Mo felt somewhat surprised.

She had a habit of drinking warm water upon waking in the morning, and those few people now knew her habits inside out.

But I never expected that Xuan Qing would also know.

Su Mo drank the water, tried a piece of cornmeal wild vegetable pancake; its taste was light and suited her morning eating habits.

When she had almost finished eating and was about to head out, she suddenly heard that person say, 'Wait a moment.'

Moments later, she saw him come out holding a dark, blackish thing: 'Take the medicine before you leave.'

Su Mo froze, instinctively frowning.

【I thought he was just joking yesterday, but he actually meant it?!】

【How annoying~ I have to take medicine again! Have to drink it! I might as well go discuss it with him……】

Su Mo turned and walked over to that person, saying, 'Um, Third Young Master, I'll prepare these things myself later; there's no need to trouble you with such trifles. You've come from afar as a guest—how could I let you go to all this trouble, right?'

Xuan Qing looked at her calmly, 'I wouldn't exactly count as a guest; if I'm not mistaken, I am Miss Su's fiancé, correct? As a fiancé, looking after my fiancée seems perfectly reasonable.'

Su Mo's mouth twitched slightly.

【He's getting into role awfully fast! And he's using his status to make a point? I bet he just wants to see me jump with anger before he's satisfied! Fine, fiancé……】

Su Mo looked at the person before her, narrowed her eyes and smiled: 'Exactly! Fiancé!!! Third Young Master, do you know what other people's fiancés actually do?'

Xuan Qing's clear gaze fell on her, his expression unchanged as he said, 'I'm also a first-time fiancé, so I'm not entirely sure; please, Miss Su, enlighten me.'

Su Mo lightly curled her lip.

【If this doesn't scare him off this time, then I… I'm just out of luck!】

She suddenly thought of something, ticking off on her fingers: 'Washing clothes, cooking, fetching water, chopping wood, taking beatings and scoldings—those go without saying. She must be able to reject ambiguous suitors and beat villains! Of course, most importantly she needs to know how to warm the bed and provide emotional value! Things like that.'

Su Mo deliberately stepped closer to him: 'Third Young Master, are you sure you can handle being a fiancé?'

【He surely thinks I'm insulting him; right now he must look calm on the surface while his inner turmoil rages! I want to see if next time he'll still dare to use the fiancé excuse!】

Before Su Mo could speak again, she only heard Xuan Qing calmly ask, 'Washing clothes, cooking, fetching water, chopping wood, rejecting ambiguous suitors, fighting villains—no problem.'

'As for the latter two…' he lifted the corner of his eye, deliberately saying, 'Miss Su, which would you like me to learn first? Warming the bed? Or… how about tonight?'

He spoke calmly, and Su Mo's eyes widened suddenly: 'You!!!'

【No, why isn't he following the usual pattern?!】

Xuan Qing lightly raised his brow: 'Judging by your expression, are you too scared to go through with it?'

Xiao Jiu let out a wicked laugh in Su Mo's mind: 'Host, quickly agree to him! As women as mighty as eagles, how can we be frightened by such a trifle? We must let him witness your strength!'

Su Mo scolded in her mind: 'Shut up!'

'I!'

Before she could speak, she heard familiar footsteps behind her.

Mo Xiao hurried over, vaguely sensing that the atmosphere was off, and instinctively looked at Su Mo and asked, 'Wife Master, what are you and the Third Young Master talking about?'

Su Mo said nothing.

【I daren't tell this stinky snake; if he finds out what I just said to Xuan Qing, he'll overturn the vinegar jar, and then I'll have nothing good to eat……】

Mo Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, he glanced at Xuan Qing opposite without changing his expression.

Xuan Qing only looked at Su Mo and asked softly, 'Should I say a word to the Snake Young Master?'

Su Mo bit her lip, turned and picked up the bowl of medicine: 'It's just taking medicine, I'll drink it……'

After finishing the medicine, she casually grabbed the two fruits on the table, chewing them as she said to Mo Xiao, 'Let's go!'

【Is this guy's mouth laced with poison? We must get rid of him quickly! Really annoying……】

This morning, Feiyun's side took in another batch of people; some elderly beastmen had died, which Su Mo wasn't too surprised by, and they are still in the outbreak phase.

Those lacking stamina not lasting until the medicine takes effect is quite normal.

Su Mo asked Mo Xiao about the situation over at the Tiger Clan.

Over at the Tiger Clan, things have just begun; a few beastmen have inexplicably fallen ill.

However, Xuan Wei reacted quickly and has already isolated the people.

Su Mo frowned{【It seems this incident is inseparable from the female lead.】}

She turned and asked Yue Ying, 'How are the arrangements you were supposed to make going?'

Yue Ying shook his fan and laughed, 'Those two are fighting right now; in a bit I'll bring people to watch the fun and add some fuel to the fire.'

Su Mo furrowed her brows: 'I'm going too.'

【Perfect chance to send some nice things to Jiang Wu!】

Meanwhile, Jiang Wu was leading people, blocking the way at the foot of Mount Jin Tong.

She sat as steady as Mount Tai in a carriage not far off, while Beast Husband A Ci lay on her leg with a lascivious expression, pinching a grape and feeding it to her mouth.

Last time he was struck by an arrow from Su Mo's person, his body has improved a bit these past two days.

'Wife Master, don't get angry; harming your health over it isn't worth it. Jin Tong actually dared to ambush us, so we naturally have to make him look bad!'

Jiang Wu didn't speak; she still harbored some doubt as to whether it was truly Jin Tong who ambushed her.

After all, earlier Jin Tong hadn't gotten any advantage from Su Mo, so how could he have the gall to ambush her now? If it weren't that Jin Tong is too hard to control, she'd still be willing to cooperate with him.

After all, given time, that body of Jin Tong could be cultivated by her into a supreme expert. Today, she's actually more about bringing people to scare that disobedient dead white cat!

A Ci, lying on her leg, probably saw through her thoughts; at this point, Wife Master actually still doesn't want to give up on Jin Tong?!

He felt resentful in his heart.

His eyes flickered, and he deliberately said, 'In my view, Jin Tong must already be of one mind with Su Mo; otherwise, given his nature, the North Wing would be in utter chaos now—why wouldn't he attack the North Wing instead? Yet he turns around and comes to attack us?'

The wolf whose head wasn't properly raised! The poison on him was cured by Su Mo; without some agreement, how could Su Mo possibly detoxify him? To keep him from becoming Su Mo's left and right arms, we must deal with him quickly!

Jiang Wu's eyes darkened just as Ruo Xu from outside entered and asked, "City Lord, should we dispatch additional troops for a strong assault?"

Jiang Wu hadn't spoken yet when a clamor from outside reached his ears.

She pulled back the curtain and saw Su Mo's Beast Husband leading a group toward them.

Yue Ying stood among the crowd, curled his lip and said, "Kill! Whoever helps Lord Jin Tong repel the enemy will receive great rewards!"

A Ci suddenly sprang up from Jiang Wu's thigh, voice trembling with excitement, and said, "Wife Master, you saw, right? They're the same group!"

Jiang Wu's heavy gaze swept over Su Mo's figure in the crowd, and he told Ruo Xu, "Send more troops!"

Since Jin Tong is so ungrateful, don't blame her for being impolite!

With Yue Ying's involvement, the two sides indeed fought even more fiercely.

Su Mo aimed toward Jiang Wu's band of Beastmen soldiers, handed the Dagger stained with plague victims' blood to Yue Ying.

"No need to be lethal."

Yue Ying understood her meaning.

"Whoosh"—with a few thuds, the Dagger shot precisely forward.

The same suffering must be shared; Jiang Wu's men should taste it too!

Not far away, Jiang Wu was also nocking an arrow, aiming at Su Mo's position!

The protective Totem on Su Mo's wrist suddenly glowed, and Xiao Jiu shouted, "Host, danger!"

She instinctively frowned, and the next second Xuan Qing, who had been behind her, instantly teleported to his front.

The guqin in his sleeve swiftly turned into a lethal arrow; the bow was like a moon blade, the arrow like frost.

Su Mo was somewhat surprised; his instrument could not only change size but also become a blade.

Xiao Jiu said excitedly, "Host, this is such a great chance; quickly use his bow and arrow, and test the Totem's power!"

Su Mo, surprised, replied, "Me? Are you sure…?"

Xiao Jiu shrieked, "No more nonsense, hurry up, I'm looking forward to it~"

Su Mo lowered her head, glanced at the dark pattern on her left wrist, furrowed her brows and said to Xuan Qing, "Lend me your bow and arrow!"
