Chapter 31: Beastmen Courtship Guide

A strange silence.

Huang Ming was the first to break the silence: "Hmm, these wild vegetables are nice, light and good for dinner."

Su Mo gave an embarrassed laugh: "As long as you like it."

After saying that, she secretly glared at the two guys opposite.

Then she enthusiastically served some food to Huang Ming and Feiyun.

Feiyun blushed and glanced at Su Mo: "Thank you, Sis Su~"

Seeing his ears about to pop out again, Yue Ying shot a killing glare over and just in time stopped the opposite person's action.

Su Mo stared at Feiyun's freshly popped ear tips, feeling puzzled.

They had clearly grown out, so why did they suddenly shrink back?!

After the meal, Huang Ming saw it was getting late, said his goodbyes, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Su Mo: "Miss Su, remember to help me find that book."

Yue Ying quickly said: "Once the Wife Master finds it, I'll help deliver it to Doctor Huang."

"Alright, thank you for the trouble, Immortal Lord!"

Huang Ming left, satisfied.

Fei Yan helped them, together taking that tiger beastman to the tribe's healing place.

Their home currently has a sleeping dragon and an injured cat, with really no place to put this tiger beastman.

After everyone left, Yue Ying shook his fan and wanted to talk to Su Mo.

Su Mo turned and quickly walked to the kitchen, not really wanting to deal with him.

【Dead fox, there's so much food at home, yet he insists on serving a whole table of wild vegetables to the guests! It must be on purpose! To make me gain a reputation for being stingy and petty—this miss must let him know I also have a temper!!!】

【Unreasonable, this is totally unreasonable! They've thrown Grandma's face overseas!】

Yue Ying, following behind, heard Su Mo's thoughts and his steps halted.

Is the Wife Master really angry this time?

This is deadly; how should I coax her?

The fox's eyes rolled around, still without a plan.

——

【Tonight is a perfect opportunity; taking this chance, I'll watch Grandma put on a show for him, and incidentally drive them out! Hehe, my clever brain is truly too smart!!!】

【Stupid fox, this is all your own doing for provoking me!】

Yue Ying: "……"

Ha! He's here thinking how to appease her, while she's already plotting how to kick him out?!

Heartless, his thoughts are quite beautiful.

Yue Ying's mind turned, then he took a firm step to block Su Mo's path.

He softly called: "Wife Master~"

That soft, slightly aggrieved voice made Su Mo shudder involuntarily.

The words she'd been mulling over instantly vanished from her mind.

【What the hell are you doing now, again???】

Yue Ying held the feather fan half-covering his face, and the next second began his hesitant performance.

"It's all my fault tonight—I shouldn't have been lazy and made only vegetarian dishes, but it wasn't early then either; I just wanted to finish quickly so we could eat sooner~ After all, Wife Master, you've been hungry all afternoon, and I, Yue Ying, was in a hurry and lost my composure~"

"If Wife Master wants to blame me for this, I'll naturally accept it; but if feeling sorry for Wife Master is also wrong, then aren't all the beast husbands in the tribe making mistakes every day?"

He said, heartbroken and sobbing: "I originally had no right to say these things to Wife Master, since you're the head of this household; if you say I'm wrong, then I am wrong~ Since I'm wrong, I'll accept any punishment, but Wife Master, please don't let your anger over me harm your health, or else it'll truly be my fault."

Su Mo widened her beautiful eyes, incredulously staring at the person before her.

【I haven't even started, and he's already begun?!】

【You sly fox, what are you pretending to be Lin Daiyu for?】

"I…"

Before she could finish, Yue Ying lamented: "I've upset Wife Master; I'll go face the wall to reflect."

Having said that, he lifted his sleeve to cover his face and walked away.

Su Mo: "……"

【You're addicted to acting!】

【Huh? No way, I haven't even started yet! Why is he running?】

"Bang——"

Yue Ying closed the door and bolted it.

Then he leaned against the door and let out a long breath.

Who'd believe it if he said it? This fox immortal lord who used to stride out majestically now resorts to any shameful trick to avoid being kicked out by Wife Master……

How can a single word "miserable" possibly describe it!

Karma, it's all karma……

Su Mo, arms akimbo and fuming, stared at the closed door, at a loss for what to do.

She suspected the fox had stolen her acting skills, but couldn't find any proof.

Not long after, the little dragon cub who had gone out for a stroll returned, holding two fish.

"Sis Su, quick look! This is the fish we prepared for Little Black—he's got dinner now!"

Su Mo reached out, took them, glanced at the two medium-sized fish—just right for Little Black to eat.

So she casually tossed one toward the cat's nest; Little Black sniffed it, then shrank back.

Nan Nan frowned, "It doesn't like to eat?"

He walked over and handed the fish toward Xiao Hei's mouth.

But the cat completely ignored him, and tucked its head fully into its belly.

Su Mo frowned, "What breed is this cat anyway? It's way too picky!"

She raised an eyebrow and said, "Fine, it's still not hungry; when it gets hungry it will eat on its own."

"Oh~"

Nan Nan and Dong Dong responded, then crouched there to tease the cat for a while, but the cat's high‑cold temperament meant it didn't respond at all.

The two little Beastmen found it boring and started walking away.

Su Mo walked over, looked at the cat's wound, and applied some medicine to it.

Looking at its salty‑fish appearance, she sneered, "When the wound heals, you can leave on your own."

After she left, Xiao Hei opened its bright blue cat eyes and stared at her back.

Su Mo suddenly turned her head, meeting the cat's gaze head‑on.

She hurried back, squinting as she gave the cat's head a few pats, "Got you, you dead tsundere!"

"Awo~" Xiao Hei let out a somewhat displeased cry.

Su Mo took the chance to pat its belly, then rose satisfied and left.

"No free petting; tomorrow I'll make you braised crucian carp!"

"Awo~"

Another somewhat displeased cry.

After Su Mo left, Xiao Hei stretched out a paw and disdainfully scratched the cat hair on its own belly.

It seemed very disdainful of Su Mo's earlier touch…

Fei Yan returned and happened to run into Mo Xiao.

He spent the whole day today interrogating Wu Mountain, and finally got something; that damn thing said the person coordinating with him is in the Dragon Clan.

He doesn't know exactly who; each time the other side only provides information without appearing.

Their Tribe and the Dragon Clan normally have no contact, so rashly investigating the other Tribe would surely fail.

But isn't there a half‑dead Dragon Clan person at home? Once they wake up, maybe an opportunity to go over.

"Wife Master, are you okay today?"

Mo Xiao asked this, and couldn't help glancing toward Su Mo's room.

She seemed to have already fallen asleep.

Fei Yan recounted his afternoon return to him, including Yue Ying's matters.

Then he said, "Tomorrow, I want to take her to stroll around the town."

He also has a chance to make a request, and this is the request he plans to make tomorrow.

Mo Xiao nodded, saying nothing.

Yue Ying said it right; everyone should rely on their own abilities.

At night, Fei Yan showered, his hair still damp, casually draped a crescent‑colored robe and sat on the bedside.

He secretly took out the book "God's Prophecy".

The book is massive; even the table of contents spans many pages, and few can finish it. Unfamiliar readers opening it have no idea how to locate useful information.

Fei Yan flipped through the contents page by page, and finally found a title called "Beastmen Courtship Guide"!

Fei Yan, a bit nervous, turned to that page.
