Chapter 48: Mermaid Beast Husband

After Yue Ying and Cang Lan left, Su Mo took some ingredients from the System Space.

The Dragon Clan's daily staple is mainly grilled meat; Su Mo felt terribly greasy after eating that barbecue last night, and today she refuses to eat it no matter what.

She took out wild vegetables, mushrooms, and potatoes, setting them aside, and then took a piece of pork from the System Laboratory.

Su Mo was just about to carry these things to borrow the kitchen from the Dragon Guard when she saw two dragon cubs running over, "thump-thump-thump".

In their hands they also held several fish and some other game.

Dong Dong looked at the things in Su Mo's hand, his eyes lighting up: "Mo Sis, this is the game Nan Nan just went out to hunt for you. Are you going to cook? How convenient~"

Su Mo glanced at them, smiling with narrowed eyes, and took the items from Nan Nan's hand, asking: "What, you Minor General don't even want to provide lunch?"

"No, that's not it!" Nan Nan shook his little head, explaining eagerly: "Actually… we want to eat the food you cook, Mo Sis! Your cooking is the best in the world!"

Dong Dong's beady little eyes glanced at the things in Su Mo's hand as he asked: "Since you're planning to cook, Mo Sis, could you also make a portion for us?"

Having said that, the two dragon cubs reached out and shook Su Mo's arm: "Please~"

"Wanting to mooch a meal is no problem, but you first need to help me find a kitchen."

"I'll take you to the Minor General's private kitchen!"

Nan Nan and Dong Dong happily led Su Mo over.

When Long Yan escorted the Military Advisor out, he saw the two dragon cubs pushing Su Mo toward his private kitchen.

The attendant beside him explained: "Nan Nan and Dong Dong said Miss Su wants to borrow the adult's kitchen."

Long Yan nodded without saying anything, his calm gaze falling on Su Mo's retreating back.

The Military Advisor beside him frowned: "Minor General, don't indulge those two little attendants too much; I see they've become rather lawless after running around."

Anyone can be brought into the kitchen; if something goes wrong, what then? After all, that place concerns the Minor General's three daily meals, and anyone with ill intent could easily cause trouble.

Long Yan merely replied indifferently: "Military Advisor, you're overthinking."

The Military Advisor originally wanted to say more, but the Minor General wasn't listening at all, so he simply gave up speaking.

He sighed: "Minor General, you've been tired all morning; go inside and rest a bit, I'm heading back first."

The Military Advisor had just turned around when Long Yan walked toward the kitchen.

Hearing the footsteps, he couldn't help but glance back.

Then he furrowed his brow and shook his head helplessly; that Miss Su's talent for winning people over is truly remarkable.

Once her fiancé's matter is settled, we must quickly get them to leave the Dragon Tribe.

——

Yue Ying pulled Cang Lan out, finished the tasks Su Mo had entrusted, then went to the gate to meet Ye Yuan.

The two guards of the Dragon Clan tasked with monitoring them were nearby, watching their every move.

Yue Ying explained the morning's events to Ye Yuan; hearing that the Beast Binding Pill on Mo Xiao's body had been lifted, Ye Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he asked in surprise: "Is the Wife Master's medical skill really that good?"

In his clear eyes lay a hint of surprise, a touch of delight, and pride.

Yue Ying nodded: "It'll do."

Whoever stands before him, if not a rival, he must praise the Wife Master to the heavens; but since he's speaking to a rival, he definitely needs to keep a schemer's heart.

Ye Yuan eagerly and quietly asked: "Where is the Wife Master? I… can I see her?"

Yue Ying's hand holding the fan paused, his fox-like eyes flicking quickly: "The Wife Master is a bit busy. Besides, it wouldn't be good for all five of us to stay in the Dragon Clan; you should remain outside. That way, if anything happens, it's easier to respond."

As for this mermaid from the East Sea, Yue Ying felt he had more than enough to handle him. Ye Yuan, having grown up pampered by the sea's beastmen, is simple-minded and easy to fool.

Hearing that, Ye Yuan sounded a bit disappointed: "All I want is to see her once. I brought her some gifts."

Saying that, he pulled out a large bag from behind him, squinting his eyes proudly: "These are all great treasures from my seabed; let the Wife Master come out and pick some."

Yue Ying's mouth twitched; he suspected this kid was just showing off his wealth, and didn't let him speak.

Beside him, Cang Lan drawled: "The Wife Master probably wouldn't like these."

"Huh?!" Ye Yuan widened his light-blue eyes in astonishment, full of disbelief: "How could that be? These are seabed treasures!"

Cang Lan shook his head, solemn: "The Wife Master likes abs."

"……"

Yue Ying slapped the fan with a "pa" and hit that leopard's head.

He gave him a resentful look: "Why do you keep spouting everything out? Don't you think there aren't enough rivals?!"

In Ye Yuan's light-blue pupils, excitement brimmed.

"The Wife Master likes abs?"

"He has them too!"

"Such a simple preference—he can satisfy it!"

Thus, full of excitement, he asked Cang Lan: "Is the Wife Master really that busy? I really want to see her……"

Since parting at Xiao Shulin last time, he hadn't seen the Wife Master for a long time; just thinking about her complaining about them made Ye Yuan endlessly curious.

"She's not busy right now." This straightforward black panther, Cang Lan, always speaks his mind and is extremely enthusiastic.

"I'll go call her for you!"

Having said that, he dashed off like a gust of wind.

"You!"

Yue Ying gritted his teeth at Cang Lan's retreating back, truly exasperated by that brainless leopard……

Cang Lan quickly found Su Mo in the kitchen and, in a few words, told her about the situation at the gate.

Su Mo's expression froze: 【My mermaid fiancé also came? He even asked to see me specifically? Is this a mistake? I hardly know him!!】

"Why does he want to see me? Didn't you make the matter of Mo Xiao clear to him?"

Cang Lan said solemnly: "He misses you."

Su Mo: "……"

【This leopard, speaking is really scary, huh? I'm not even familiar with that mermaid……】

Cang Lan: "Wife Master, he even brought you a gift, so much!" Cang Lan gestured to Su Mo.

"Gift?!"

【If that mermaid is this reasonable, then I definitely have to go see them! I ought to go check out what the sea treasures look like?!】

"Well, let's go!"

As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, she instinctively felt her waist tighten; Cang Lan grabbed her in one sweep and rushed out like a gust of wind.

In a moment, the two arrived at the doorway.

Su Mo hadn't reacted yet. Instinctively her wrist tightened; Yue Ying beside her swiftly reached out and pulled her from Cang Lan's arms.

Then, pulling her into his embrace.

Just now Cang Lan's speed was too fast; Su Mo, as a female, and moreover a frail female bearing deadly poison, simply couldn't keep up physically.

She now only felt dizzy and blurred, the world spinning.

"Wife Master."

An unfamiliar, hesitant call sounded beside her ear.

Su Mo regained her composure and met a pair of light-blue pupils, with long lashes casting fine shadows on her eyelids.

Skin nearly transparent white, the whole person as exquisite as ice-carved jade.

The few light-blue scales at the corners of her eyes refracted specks of light in the sunset.

Ye Yuan's gaze toward her held a hint of inquiry, and also a hint of delight.

Su Mo recognized him—this was her mermaid Beast Husband, Ye Yuan.

【Wow~ last time it was too dark, I didn't get a good look, this guy's looks are off the charts!】
