Chapter 27

Breakfast was prepared by Fei Yan.

Stir-fried two portions of light wild vegetables, pan-fried some cornmeal pancakes, added some bird eggs and scallions, and it smelled delicious when eaten.

After finishing the meal, the two dragon cubs put a small bite for the cat and handed it over; who knew the cat sniffed it, turned its head aside, and put on a look of utter disdain.

Nan Nan frowned at Su Mo: "Sis Mo, it seems not to like these things~"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "If it doesn't like it, let it go hungry."

She has no leisure to cater to a picky cat; a Beast World kitten actually dares to be picky—let it starve to death.

Nan Nan squatted there, coaxing the cat for a while; the kitten drooped its ears, listless, as if too lazy to listen to the little dragon cub's nonsense.

Nan Nan muttered to themselves: "We still haven't given it a name, have we~"

Su Mo thought for a few seconds, then said: "Call him Little Black."

As soon as the words fell, the kitten in the nest twitched its tail slightly, and its brow furrowed as well.

Su Mo narrowed her eyes and smiled: "It seems to like the name I gave; wagging its tail means agreement, so it's settled!"

The kitten's tail, just lifted, froze mid‑air; then it raised its little head and looked toward Su Mo.

Su Mo blinked, wondering, "Is it glaring at me?"

How could a pure little beast possibly have emotions?

She narrowed her eyes mischievously and said: "Little Black, what a nice name!"

Dong Dong looked at the kitten, feeling sorry, and said: "Later, I and Nan Nan will still get it something else to eat."

Su Mo couldn't be bothered with them, she walked over, pulled open Little Black's hind leg to take a look—the wound was no longer bleeding.

There was no sign of infection.

But after all, a large chunk of meat is missing, so it still needs time to recover.

As a young male cat, Little Black's development is indeed poor—even its eggs are smaller than those of other cats.

Su Mo casually grabbed a look and said: "How pitifully small—this is what happens when you're picky; you'd better fix this habit, got it?"

Little Black let out a whimper from its nose, even raising its paw as if wanting to scratch Su Mo.

Fortunately Su Mo was quick‑eyed and quick‑handed, she grabbed its little paw in one go, then pinched it between her fingertips—hmm, the feel was nice~ the cat's brows furrowed slightly, then it raised its tail again in protest.

Su Mo, not understanding, reached out and rubbed its tail again.

The frightened kitten instantly retracted its tail, tucking it tightly underneath itself.

Su Mo frowned, thinking this kitten is too stingy—what's the big deal about just touching it?

She doesn't like this unfriendly cat; once its wound heals, she'll kick it out to fend for herself—she won't keep a white‑eyed wolf around.

Su Mo applied the medicine to it, then went to wash clothes.

Little Black lay in its nest, its sapphire‑blue cat eyes fixed on her back, seeming quite angry.

Su Mo met A Nuan by the river; seeing her complexion, she knew the recent conditioning had worked well—her whole person looked much better than before.

A Nuan sat beside Su Mo and said: "I still haven't properly thanked you for last time."

She has recently grown a brain all of a sudden, which makes Su Mo a bit unaccustomed.

"No need to be polite—neighbors help each other. By the way, how's that outfit of yours wearing?" Su Mo couldn't help gossiping.

A Nuan's face flushed, and she whispered to her ear: "As soon as I put it on, they act like completely different people!"

"These days we still can't do that… so I occasionally wear it to show them. These past two days they've kept asking me to come ask you if you could prescribe something… fast‑acting medicine~"

Su Mo glanced at the mark on her neck, knowing her two beast husbands couldn't wait any longer.

These past few days must have been agonizing.

But treating illness admits no negligence.

"Treatment takes its course; let them endure a little longer. You too should restrain yourself—don't keep thinking about those things."

"I don't have any! Don't spout nonsense!" A Nuan glared at Su Mo, face red.

After a moment of silence she asked again: "I heard the tribe chief came looking for you yesterday—what was it about?"

Su Mo briefly explained what happened yesterday.

A Nuan asked, a bit sourly: "Is he going to introduce you to that dancing wolf beastman at the evening party as a beast husband?"

"How do you know that?!"

"He's the tribe chief's nephew; before the chief summoned you that day, I ran into Feiyun on the road. He even asked about you—I mean, your luck is just too good! I'm really envious!"

"... Do you like Feiyun?"

"Before I had a bit of interest, but since he's not interested in me, I don't take it to heart. Worst case, I'll just switch targets!"

Su Mo: "... No, you're switching targets too fast! That means you don't like Fei Yan or Mo Xiao and the others anymore, right?!"

A Nuan gave an embarrassed smile: "Of course, I can't go stealing a sister's man! Given our relationship now, I couldn't do such a despicable thing—I've taken a liking to another male beastman!"

"Um..."

Su Mo was speechless.

【Are you crazy? Your speed of chasing the new and discarding the old is faster than mine! Besides, who wants to be your sister… you'd better just be my love rival properly!!!!】

【It's my fault, all my fault—this damned charm of mine turned a perfectly good love rival into a sister! Regret!】

【Or do I have to go look for some other love rivals?】

A Nuan: "Rest assured, now everyone respects your medical skills; most of us think you and those few are the best match, already regarded as family. Even if someone tries to steal your beast husbands, we villagers won't agree—just live your life in peace!"

"……"

【Thanks a lot, you guys! I must have had a brain spasm earlier—why did I go earn that wave of random affection~ snivel, I just want to kill myself!!!!】

【This world is truly crazy, random passersby, forcibly rewriting the plot—does that even make sense????】

At this moment, in the small courtyard of Su Mo's home.

Feiyun came over holding a prescription, saying he wanted to consult Su Mo.

Yue Ying saw at a glance that the kid's motives were impure; probably the request for advice is fake, he really just wants to hook up with his Wife Master.

Fei Yan clearly went to assist the newly appointed Huang Ming to quickly learn Shaman Doctor affairs, yet this brat still has the nerve to show up here—truly shameless!

Yue Ying put on a gentle, easy‑talking facade and lied to him, saying Su Mo had gone up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and probably wouldn't be back by noon.

Feiyun was a newly adult Wolf Beastman, simple and innocent in appearance, and instantly felt utterly dejected.

"Go back for now; I'll pass along the message when the Wife Master returns."

Yue Ying bluntly issued the eviction order—rivals in love, chase off one and it's one less! Can't leave any opening for a love rival!

Feiyun nodded, dejected, and turned to walk back.

But he hadn't taken a few steps when he saw Su Mo coming from the riverbank; his eyes lit up and he hurried over.

"Miss Su!"

Su Mo stared at the newcomer, startled—wasn't this the Feiyun A Nuan mentioned?

"How did he get here?"

"Damn little wolf!"

Yue Ying muttered irritably and hurried after him.

He'd gone to great lengths today, sending away those two annoying housemates, just to be alone with the Wife Master—he absolutely couldn't let this shameless little wolf ruin it!!!
