Chapter 37: Young General, Wake Up

~7 min read 1,322 words

During the meal, Su Mo took out the RIO given by the system.

Yue Ying curiously stared at the bottle, looking left and right: "Wife Master, what is this?"

"It's a drink, hmm… similar to Beast World fruit wine. Its alcohol content is much lower than Beast World fruit wine."

Fei Yan guessed what it was almost immediately.

RIO?

After a light sip, hmm, compared to Beast World fruit wine, it seemed sweeter and had some other sensation.

Very refreshing.

Su Mo had only drunk half a bottle when she heard Fei Yan say, "Wife Master, don't drink too much."

Su Mo was startled, then squinted and said, "How could that be… my tolerance…"

Having learned from past mistakes, the bragging didn't dare to speak recklessly.

She squinted, gave an awkward smile, "It's still fine!"

【Heaven! I didn't really get drunk yesterday and harass Fei Yan, did I? Otherwise why would he be so sensitive when I drink this thing?】

Upon hearing that, the three opposite people all froze.

Fei Yan pinched his chopsticks, not daring to look up at all. Remembering yesterday's scenes, his earlobes turned red.

He always considered himself a proper gentleman, yet yesterday there was that brief instant when he wanted to be a genuine "pseudo‑gentleman"……

Yue Ying and Mo Xiao felt a sour bubbling in their hearts.

Just thinking of Wife Master's drunken appearance already made them extremely jealous.

They also grew more curious about what actually happened yesterday.

But when they thought of the scene Su Mo described, Yue Ying and Mo Xiao felt a tight panic in their chests.

【Forget it, any memory I don't have, I'll just treat as if it never happened! If the Heavenly King shows up, this girl still won't recognize him!!!】

Thinking that, Su Mo shoved a piece of beef into her mouth.

【Weird, why are the three of them not eating? And why do they look so strange…】

Su Mo awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Eat, why aren't you all eating?"

"Eat!" Yue Ying picked up a piece of lamb, soaked it in the vinegar dish in front of them, and handed it to Fei Yan.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "High Priest, you took care of Wife Master yesterday, it was hard work, eat more!"

"Cough~"

Su Mo almost choked.

【Dead Fox just brings up every pot that shouldn't be opened……】

After finishing lunch, Su Mo and the two Dragon Cubs washed the dishes; the three of them each had something to go out for.

After tidying up, Su Mo began to take a nap.

In her past life she was a workhorse enough; this life she just wants to live carefree.

Mostly because of a small incident on the way back this morning, Su Mo's nap was very restless.

Half asleep, it seemed someone stood at her bedside, reaching to grab her throat.

She startled awake, abruptly sitting up.

She reached to touch her neck; strangely, it actually hurt a bit.

Her gaze shifted to the door crack; she remembered she had clearly closed the door before sleeping.

Su Mo turned her neck, lifted the Beast Skin Blanket off herself onto the floor.

Outside it was already dusk.

Her house, backed by a small hill, with a clear creek winding around the west side, had a very good location.

If she renovated it further, it would be an ideal place for self‑cultivation.

If this were in her previous world, it would be a paradise, a standalone villa worth a fortune.

Su Mo thought that, and her eyes lit up.

Beast World timber is abundant; she could easily turn it into a small wooden building!

With that thought, she took out paper and pen and drew a simple blueprint.

Next she needed to earn some money; although timber might be free, other things still cost money, and labor might also cost some money.

Even though she had a system, the daily amount of Beast World Money she could exchange was limited. Moreover, exchanges also required points.

So she still had to find a way to earn some money in Beast World.

After finishing the drawing, Su Mo stepped out of the house and saw A Nuan approaching with a newborn female.

"Su Mo, let me introduce you to a little sister."

A Nuan placed the person in front of Su Mo, smiling, "Xiao Hong, my next‑door neighbor, came to you about that issue."

With that, Su Mo examined the person; her complexion was yellowish, with pimples, looking like she had hormonal imbalance.

She felt the person's pulse: "Minor issue, prescribe some medicine to regulate it."

Then she casually picked up a sheet of paper on the table, wrote a prescription for Xiao Hong and handed it over: "You can find the herbs on the mountain or buy them from Huang Ming."

Xiao Hong blushed slightly, "I also want a piece of clothing like A Nuan's."

Su Mo paused, then smiled, "I have one! But it costs eight coins."

"I'll take it."

Xiao Hong pulled a purse from her pocket, took out eight coins, and handed them over.

Su Mo redeemed from the system a set of the same style small clothes she had given A Nuan last time, and handed the garment to her.

Xiao Hong glanced down, then, blushing, put it into a Beast Skin Bag.

Su Mo looked at the pimples on Xiao Hong's face and said, "I have a Facial Mask that specifically treats those bumps on your face, want it?"

Xiao Hong's eyes lit up, and she touched the bump on her face, asking in disbelief, "Is it effective?"

"Of course!" Su Mo pointed to her own face and said, "My face relies on it."

A Nuan and Xiao Hong then examined Su Mo's face closely; indeed, her face was much better than before.

Although her features seemed unchanged, her complexion became fair and delicate, a world apart from the previous yellow‑black hue.

Overall she looked considerably fresher and more pleasant to the eye.

"Can it have this effect?"

"Not in the short term, but with consistent application, it will definitely improve!"

The Facial Mask developed by the System Laboratory was extremely effective; after all, as Xiao Jiu would say, using the Laboratory to make these things is a case of a big talent for a small job.

After Su Mo's enthusiastic promotion, Xiao Hong dug out sixteen coins and bought four Facial Masks.

Su Mo smiled brightly as she took the money and said, "Use them well, come again next time."

The three chatted for a while, and A Nuan walked off arm‑in‑arm with Xiao Hong.

Su Mo looked at the sky and prepared to cook dinner.

Just as Su Mo had grabbed a handful of wild vegetables to wash, she saw A Nuan go out and return.

She grabbed Su Mo's hand and slipped in twenty coins: "I want five of those Facial Masks!"

Su Mo took six pieces and handed them to her: "I'll give you an extra one!"

"Thank you!"

"No need to thank me; after all, we're good sisters!"

A Nuan was sweet‑talked by Su Mo, took the items, and happily went back.

Su Mo hummed a little tune while washing wild vegetables by the river, confident that it wouldn't be long before A Nuan would spread the word properly, and then her Facial Mask would sell well throughout the Tribe!

Later, using the Laboratory to research other gadgets will always bring in money.

After washing the vegetables, Su Mo got up and went back.

Before reaching the doorway, she heard the sounds of two Dragon Cubs inside the house.

"Minor General!"

"Minor General is awake, I want to tell Sister Mo this good news!"

Su Mo was startled— that dragon is awake?!

She immediately quickened her pace toward the doorway.

When it came time to verify her healing results, she was still a bit excited!
