Chapter 24: Flirty Gaze Flung at the Blind

When Mo Xiao returned to Su Mo's little courtyard, dinner was already almost ready.

Fei Yan's firewood had also been split.

Seeing Mo Xiao return, he dropped the axe in his hand and walked over: "How's it?"

"Qing Shan indeed didn't die; this is the medicine found on his body."

Fei Yan reached for the black Pill, sniffed it, and said: "Later I'll have Wife Master help check its ingredients."

Just then Su Mo came out carrying a plate of stir‑fried greens, and she was startled to see the two people standing there.

Her clear eyes swept to the bloodstain on Mo Xiao's coat hem, and Su Mo's brows furrowed slightly.

【Stinky Snake returned with a murderous aura; could it be that he went out… and killed someone?! Fei Yan was still muttering to him, whimpering, "I told you they don't seem like good people. I'm just cannon fodder. These big villains should go forge their own world; staying here and not leaving—what's that about?"】

Mo Xiao's peripheral glance fell on the hem of the long robe, and indeed there was blood.

He calmly replied, "I just went hunting up the mountain, encountered a wild boar, but let it run away."

In the past he would have scoffed at making these up, but now, after all, he doesn't want to scare her.

If possible, he never wants her to glimpse his dark side.

Hearing that, Su Mo sighed in relief, "Oh, then go clean up a bit and get ready for dinner."

"Okay."

After Mo Xiao entered the house, Fei Yan chatted with Su Mo for a few sentences.

Then he took out the Pill: "This was accidentally obtained from other Beastmen; we don't know its effect, please have Wife Master take a look."

Su Mo took the Pill, sniffed it, then broke off a small piece and crushed it.

【Fake Death Medicine? Beast World already has this thing?!】

Su Mo furrowed her brows: "If you take this, it stops breathing and heartbeat, creating a temporary illusion of death. However, if the dosage is mishandled, it can be lethal."

"Got it."

Fei Yan originally intended to take back the remaining half of the Pill, but Su Mo said it should stay.

Su Mo thought of tossing the medicine into the Laboratory at night to see if it could be refined.

Then sell it to other timelines to earn some points.

Things like this are exactly what the cold palace concubines need most.

When Mo Xiao finished changing clothes and came out, Yue Ying had already prepared the final dish.

Tonight's six or seven dishes, three of them were made by him.

Having been by Su Mo's side these days, he had learned a fair bit; the presentation and taste were pretty close.

Even Fei Yan couldn't help praising: "It's basically indistinguishable from Wife Master's."

Yue Ying squinted at Su Mo: "From now on Wife Master won't have to work so hard; I'll cook for you all!"

Su Mo: "…"

【Really planning to stay here permanently? No, shouldn't you all ask the head of this household for his opinion???】

Yue Ying picked a rib for Su Mo, licking his face, and said, "Wife Master doesn't need to praise my virtue; it's all within Yue Ying's duties."

"If you really want to compliment, how about a different way?" He said, bringing his face close: "A kiss~"

Su Mo gave him a speechless look, then grabbed the rib in the bowl and shoved it into his mouth!

Squinting, she reminded, "No talking while eating, no talking while sleeping, understand?!"

【Shameless Dead Fox! Still trying to take advantage of the auntie?】

Yue Ying squinted, chewing the thing in his mouth.

Then blinking, he said, "The food Wife Master feeds is delicious. Another piece?"

Saying that, he leaned forward, opened his mouth coquettishly: "Mo Mo, feed~"

Across, Fei Yan and Mo Xiao, their knuckles gripping the chopsticks turning pale.

Shameless Dead Fox, accustomed to these tricks!

Su Mo:???

【Is he crazy? Should I treat his brain???】

Xiao Jiu sighed helplessly in the air: "Flirty eyes thrown at a blind man… You were single for over twenty years in your past life, not without reason."

After the meal, Su Mo went to check Long Yan's injuries.

It was strange; the dragon's wounds had healed mostly, it should have awakened, right? Why no response yet?

The Dragon Cubs perched beside her, in a babyish voice asking, "Sister Mo, when will Minor General actually wake up?"

"Soon, I guess."

The Dragon Cub gave an obedient nod.

Su Mo sat on the bedside, spacing out for a while; she had slept too much during the day, and feared she wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Beast World has so few entertainment options; how to spend the long, endless night?

At this moment, in Hou Shan's Xiao Shulin, Fei Yan and the other two pulled out the book 'Prophecy of the Gods' again.

A moment later Fei Yan concluded: "According to the prophecy and deducing from Wife Master's thoughts, we are likely characters living inside a novel. The heroine she mentions is probably the protagonist of this world."

"Cannon fodder means basically an unimportant passerby."

Yue Ying stroked his chin: "Then we should quickly find the heroine and kill her; would that make us and Wife Master the protagonists of this world?"

Fei Yan: "In a sense, that seems to be the logic."

The three shared the same thought; since, according to Wife Master, the heroine is their enemy, it's natural to strike first!

Yue Ying asked Fei Yan: "Over at Qing Shan, any answers yet?"

"Not yet, but we can eventually pry his mouth open."

Fei Yan nodded and said, "Let's head back first."

Yue Ying swayed his fan and went ahead, but after just a moment, he was already beginning to miss Wife Master.

Being so far away that he couldn't hear Wife Master's thoughts, it really felt unfamiliar.

At that moment.

Su Mo and the two Dragon Cubs were getting ready to bathe Long Yan on the bed.

After all, that dragon hadn't been bathed for several days and was starting to smell.

The female and the two young beasts lugged a wooden bucket, grunting, toward Long Yan's room.

Su Mo's mood instantly brightened again.

"Wow~ I can feast my eyes today! Dead Fox isn't here now, so no one will ruin my fun~"

"La la la~ This fairy is going to bathe Long Yan~ So happy!"

The three who had just arrived at the back of the house suddenly heard those two voices pop into their minds.

The three froze together with a swish, and the next second they darted like lightning into the front yard.

Then, like Door Gods, they landed in front of Su Mo and the two Dragon Cubs.

Su Mo stared at the suddenly flashing figure, unable to react for a long moment.

"No way? Neither early nor late, but you have to come back right when Auntie is about to do a 'good deed'?!"

She intended to ignore the person before her and urged the Dragon Cubs to hurry and bring the water inside.

Yue Ying shifted his steps lightly, blocking her path, squinting his handsome fox eyes and asked, "Wife Master, what are you busy with?"

Then he tilted his head and glanced, "Whoa, the bath bucket even has some flower petals, and the scent of the bath soap that Wife Master usually keeps as a treasure."

She truly is willing to give up that dragon!

Yue Ying got even more angry!

"I..."

Su Mo wanted to say that this was bath water prepared for herself!

But Nan Nan, that brat, blurted out straight from the heart, "Sister Mo wants to bathe Minor General for us~"

"Oh." Yue Ying smiled, looking at Su Mo, "Since men and women shouldn't be intimate, let us handle this for Wife Master!"

"Um... actually, in a doctor's eyes there is no gender distinction!"

"Then I can't just watch Wife Master be burdened!"

As Yue Ying spoke, he snapped Su Mo's grip on the wooden bucket, lifted the bucket single‑handed, and swaggered into the house.

Su Mo: "..."

"Me and this Dead Fox are just a bad match! Every time they ruin my plans!!!"

"You two, come in and help!"

Yue Ying called out to Mo Xiao and Fei Yan.

Su Mo also tried to take the chance to peek, but just as she reached the doorway, Fei Yan mercilessly shut the door.

She and the two Dragon Cubs stood outside, big eyes watching the little ones.

"What the heck, treating me like a thief, just so I can't get a look!!!"

Suddenly, the door opened, and Yue Ying, with a mischievous grin, said, "Wife Master really wants to bathe; how about helping me later?"

Su Mo's beautiful pupils suddenly widened, "Do you have a belly, what? A mermaid, a line???"

"Of course..."

Before Yue Ying could finish, a Snake Tail hooked him back!

Fei Yan even directly shoved the cloth he was using to bathe Long Yan into Yue Ying's mouth...

Dead Fox, right in front of them, tried to hit on Wife Master!

Then the door slammed shut again with a "bang".

Inside, Yue Ying glared unhappily at Mo Xiao and Fei Yan.

The two were too lazy to bother him at all.

Mo Xiao grabbed the dragon off the bed in one hand and roughly tossed it into the bucket.

Seeing this rival who could attract Wife Master's attention without saying a word, the three's expressions instantly turned sour.

Yue Ying: "What bath is this? Might as well drown him~"

Fei Yan: "The more I look, the more eye‑sore it gets!"

Mo Xiao: "He'd better wake up quickly and roll back to his own territory, or this Young Master will really lose control!"
