Chapter 17: What Kind of Life‑Taking Art Is This?

After dinner, Su Mo found an excuse and sent away those Beastmen fiancés.

Scrubbing pots, washing rags, heating bath water—there's always work they never finish.

Then she called two Dragon Cubs and said to them, "I'm going to digest a bit—you guys stay home and don't run around."

"There should be many performances tonight; I'm going to feast my eyes. Handsome Beastmen, here I come!"

Thinking of that scene, Su Mo got all excited.

In the past she could scroll short videos, but platform regulation was too strict, so she couldn't see any explosive footage.

Now that she's at the Beast World venue, it's a whole different story!

It's said Beast World evening events are relatively open; if you click, you can apply to the Tribe Chief on the spot for a binding marriage contract. So those unmarried male Beastmen perform with extraordinary vigor.

"I just don't know if what's written in those little posts is true—do Wolf Beastmen really do that explosive dance? Is it true that a leopard's belly can actually beat a drum? I can't imagine; the more I think, my nose starts to bleed…"

By the small river, Yue Ying, Mo Xiao, and Fei Yan exchanged a glance and halted in unison.

Then, in perfect unison, they tossed the items in their hands aside.

Yue Ying irritably drew the Feather Fan from his waist, squinting and gritting his teeth, "What's so great about Wolf Beastmen dancing? This fox can do it too—"

After speaking, he turned and slipped into the Thatched Cottage, changed into a red outfit, and prepared to chase Su Mo.

Seeing Mo Xiao and Fei Yan frozen at the doorway, he frowned and said, "Still not leaving? Are you really waiting for the Wife Master to have her soul hooked by some other fairy?!"

When Su Mo arrived at the venue, the best viewing spots had already been snatched.

They were all just heads; there was no way to squeeze in.

While she was troubled, a familiar voice sounded beside her ear.

"You came too?"

Su Mo turned her head and met A Nuan's beautiful face.

A Nuan reached out and looped her arm, "My Beast Husband took a spot up front for me; I'll take you over."

Su Mo grinned, "Thanks~"

"You're welcome; my Beast Husbands are all very impressive~" A Nuan's face bore a faint brag.

From her expression, one could tell her relationship with the Beast Husbands had eased.

Su Mo couldn't help reminding A Nuan, "During medication, you'd better not do that~ otherwise it's hard to cure."

"You…" A Nuan's face flushed scarlet, "I'm not stupid!"

She hasn't yet been hanging out with the Beast Husbands; she just put that little red outfit on them so they could have a look first.

Su Mo squinted and smiled, "Enough talk, let's watch the performance!"

Honestly, the Beast World songs weren't great; they made her feel drowsy.

However, when the female host on stage announced the dance segment, Su Mo snapped awake, eyes wide, looking ahead.

Accompanied by a strange instrumental sound, a Wolf Beastman dancer took the stage.

He wore a custom dance costume, a cool outfit made of several leaves.

The muscle lines under the moonlight were irresistibly alluring.

The cheers rose and fell, and A Nuan beside Su Mo also had a flushed little face.

Su Mo began to watch the performance with unwavering eyes.

"Whoa, that waist twist is more flexible than that Stinky Snake's tail—love it!"

Not far behind, Yue Ying, Fei Yan, and Mo Xiao stood there with dark faces.

Mo Xiao: "My waist is ten thousand times better than that dog's! Have you ever tried? You like just anything? Your taste is truly worthless!"

Su Mo had no idea, and the three followed, watching intently.

"The tail swing is insanely cool, perfectly on beat! It's downright illegal handsome!"

After the dance ended, the black leopard Beastman took the stage.

He was dressed even cooler than the Wolf Beastman, making the females in the audience want to watch but feel embarrassed.

Su Mo was different; with her thick skin from all those poisonous posts, this small scene didn't scare her at all!

As soon as the leopard Beastman appeared, he delivered a critical hit to the whole audience.

"Abdominal, muscle drumming dance? What deadly art is this!!! The muscle vibration frequency is faster than a fox shaking a fan—so cool!"

Yue Ying, shaking his Feather Fan, froze.

He gritted his teeth: "These guys only know how to flaunt flashy 'burns' all day, with no substance—what's actually worth watching?"

The next performer was an Eagle Beastman, also a top‑tier beauty.

The aerial acrobatics were slick, leaving both the females and male Beastmen in the audience gasping in amazement.

Su Mo clapped while sighing.

"Dad, why didn't you let me choose these Beastmen fiancés? If I chose them, I wouldn't have to worry about messy breakups—*sob* The world is so beautiful, yet I'm bound to a few villains? That's not fair!"

Hearing the words, the three all furrowed their brows.

Yue Ying turned his head and asked the High Priest, "Wife Master, why do we always seem like the bad guys? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Fei Yan furrowed his brow, "Take one step, see one step."

Then he whispered to Mo Xiao, "Did you find the one who plotted against you?"

In the afternoon, Yue Ying and Fei Yan went hunting, while Mo Xiao was actually returning to his own tribe to handle something.

"Found a scapegoat, but we can be sure the Snake Clan has a traitor. I can't act too quickly or too often, lest I startle the snakes and make the investigation harder."

"Could it be the same group that targeted Long Yan?"

"I don't rule out that possibility; he'd better hide his tail so I don't catch him, otherwise…"

Mo Xiao's voice was cold, a flash of ruthlessness in his tone.

Fei Yan understood; as a Snake Young Master, Mo Xiao naturally had means.

Next was the little Beastmen's performance; the rhythm was a bit lacking, but it made up for it with festivity.

The two Dragon Cubs crouched beside Su Mo, watching with great delight.

The supporter went on stage, said a few words, then said: "Next, please let us welcome with applause the disciple of the Shaman Doctor, who will perform the highlight of this evening's party, the Holy Water cleansing segment."

The crowd below instantly widened their eyes and began to discuss.

"As long as you drink the Holy Water, you'll have great luck from now on!"

"That's right, the Shaman Doctor will personally remove the hidden ailments from his body, granting him a long life of a hundred years!"

"The Holy Water is a good thing; I will definitely take a sip later!"

Su Mo's expression was indifferent【What Holy Water, all are deceiving tricks. Ignorant, even if the dog Shaman Doctor gave you foot-washing water, you'd treat it as treasure! I'm just waiting to see what nasty trick this ghostly Shaman Doctor will come up with to harm people~】

Scarlet Face frowned, having experienced being slapped in the face last time, he felt a hint of doubt.

Actually, this segment is present at every gathering; those who drink the Holy Water indeed show some different symptoms each time, so how could Su Mo so bluntly call it a fraud?

However, at this moment behind the stage, the Shaman Doctor who had been dismissed by Fei Yan a few days ago, now with a gloomy stare, fixed his gaze on Su Mo not far below, as well as Mo Xiao and Fei Yan and a few others.

Last time he suffered a major setback at Su Mo's place, causing him to lose his position; this time he will definitely make up for it no matter what!

As for that Su Mo, he merely occasionally picked up some trivial skills; how could he be a match for this esteemed Shaman Doctor? Just wait and see!
