Chapter 51: Your Heat Has Arrived

A Yun shook her head in panic and said, "Impossible, she's telling the truth; my body has already started reacting! I need the Antidote, I must get the Antidote as soon as possible!"

The masked Beastman glanced at her swollen, reddened arm and frowned.

That female Su Mo was truly cunning, having tampered with A Yun as well.

He furrowed his brows and said, "It looks like an allergy; a Shaman Doctor in the Tribe would know right away! I warn you, if you dare contact anyone from the Northern Wing Black Market again, don't blame me for being impolite."

He lifted the sharp blade in his hand, the threat clear in his eyes.

Terrified, A Yun trembled and stammered, "I… I understand…"

The man tossed a packet of medicine at her and said, "Find a way to give this to those two in the prison!"

A Yun frowned at the item on the ground and said, "I have no chance to act; Minor General has already placed watchers outside, and if I go in now it's a death sentence!"

The man bent down, grabbed her chin, and said, "If you don't take the medicine now, I'll still kill you! Do something that pleases me, and I can give you a few more days to live! Understand?!"

Staring at those murderous eyes, A Yun's body trembled like a sieve.

She nodded fearfully.

The man hummed, turned, and waved his hand to signal the Attendant beside him to leave.

In an instant, the two vanished without a trace.

As they walked away, the Attendant asked, "Gate Master, why not kill A Yun outright? Do you really think she can successfully give Mo Xiao and Fei Yan the medicine?"

"Who cares whether she can pull it off? I just want Su Mo to know that I am her opponent."

The Attendant frowned and said, "Perhaps you should simply cut the female named Su Mo with a single stroke, to eliminate future trouble. That way, dealing with her Beast Husbands will be much easier."

The man raised an eyebrow slightly and said coldly, "Don't you think the situation is becoming more interesting? Her Confusing Drug affects me, and she can also neutralize the Beast Binding Pill's toxin. I find playing with her more entertaining than playing with her so‑called fiancés."

His appearing on his own accord, versus letting that woman find him herself, are two different matters.

When A Yun returned from Xiao Shulin, Yue Ying and Cang Lan spotted her, but the two strictly followed Su Mo's orders and did not alert anyone.

A Yun returned to her residence and closed the door.

She rummaged for the allergy medicine at home, crushed it and applied it to her skin, but it not only failed to work—it worsened the condition.

The masked Beastman was outright deceiving her! He merely wanted to use her to administer poison, then wait for the toxin to kill her!

In this way, he wouldn't need to act himself, fully eliminating his big trouble while shifting all blame onto her.

Everything would appear perfectly seamless!

Thinking that, A Yun felt even more terrified.

She truly doesn't want to die!

Can't do that; she must still contact someone from the Northern Wing Black Market quickly to obtain the Antidote!

Rather than waiting for death, she'd rather risk a try!

Yue Ying ordered Cang Lan to stay and continue monitoring A Yun's every move.

Then he returned to find Su Mo.

At that time Su Mo hadn't gotten up yet; he stood at the doorway and called twice, but no one inside responded.

Yue Ying's heart sank, and he pushed the door open.

The next second his body lurched, nearly falling.

Fortunately, his reflexes were quick; he covered his mouth and nose in time, preventing him from inhaling too much Confusing Drug.

The drowsy Su Mo on the bed heard the noise and groggily opened her eyes.

She then saw Yue Ying staggering, his steps unsteady as he approached her.

"Wife Master…"

Yue Ying's body swayed, and with a "Thud" he collapsed at the bedside of her bed.

Su Mo suddenly sat up and reached to feel his pulse.

Was she affected by the Confusing Drug?

She gently sniffed the air and recognized the scent—wasn't this the same Confusing Drug formula she had given Fei Yan during their last mishap in Xiao Shulin?

Who, while she was asleep, scattered the same Confusing Drug in her room?!

Su Mo didn't have time to think further; she retrieved the Antidote from System Space and gave it to Yue Ying to swallow.

After regaining consciousness, Yue Ying looked at her with concern, "Wife Master, are you alright?"

Su Mo gently shook her head and asked, "Do you have any other discomforts?"

Yue Ying slowly shook his head, suspiciously saying, "Is such a strong Confusing Drug ineffective on the Wife Master?"

Su Mo frowned and explained, "This medicine is my formula; the last time I was in trouble with Fei Yan in Xiao Shulin, I gave him this Confusing Drug, and I didn't expect him to replicate it."

Hearing this, Yue Ying's brows furrowed slightly, "He actually traced it here?!"

Su Mo twisted her brow and remained silent.

【Could it be the heroine's people? Are they now declaring war on me, a mere cannon fodder? To have reproduced my formula so quickly, they seem a formidable opponent.】

【It's over, it's over. Do I really have to be completely tied to these villains? Forced to level up and fight monsters together? So this marriage can't be called off for now?】

Yue Ying heard Su Mo's thoughts and felt relieved, "Wife Master, rest assured, Yue Ying will protect you."

Su Mo gave him a helpless glance and walked out, feeling depressed.

She had no appetite for dinner, only ate the dinner prepared by Long Yan's people, then she and the fox and the leopard went for a walk.

Coincidentally, Yue Ying briefed her on the afternoon's events.

Su Mo frowned, contemplating.

【A Yun is just a minor character, not worth fearing; the real trouble lies with those behind her.】

【The current plot diverges completely from the book; the heroine should be busy recruiting troops and consolidating powerful Beast Husbands. She has no time to pay attention to me, a cannon fodder, and those villains.】

【So another team shows up?! OMG! These plot‑defying maniacs! They should be looking for the heroine, not targeting me, a cannon fodder! What the heck?】

Yue Ying and Cang Lan exchanged a glance, then maintained composure without showing any emotion.

【Forget it, take it step by step…… First, preserving one's life is what matters!】

After Su Mo returned from digesting her food, she washed up.

When she returned to the room, she saw a fluffy thing lying on the bed.

Nine scarlet fox tails were casually spread on the bed, each hair distinct, the fox's eyes narrowed, its pupils flowing with a bewitching light.

Su Mo frowned【Dead fox, what mischief are you up to again?】

She walked over, intending to drive him off her bed.

Who would have thought the fox lying on the bed would suddenly leap up and accurately pounce into her embrace.

The fox's tail suddenly tightened, wrapping around her slender waist, and its fluffy head rubbed against her chest.

【Shameless stinky fox……】

Su Mo hadn't even had time to get angry when the fox in her embrace, with its wet nose, inadvertently brushed against her collarbone and neck……

She shuddered suddenly, wanting to push the fox off her.

"Don't, don't make trouble! Go, go back to your own room~"

She tried to grab his ears, but the next second the fox in her embrace exerted force, and she was flung onto the bed by him.

The fox's tail at her waist suddenly loosened, and he instantly transformed into human form, his long arms tightly holding her, his eyes full of undissolvable desire.

Only hearing him whisper near her ear: "Wife Master, you already promised to let me sleep with you tonight, don't try to back out~ Be good~ You like abs, right? Isn't it okay for me to let you touch them?"

Su Mo's heart pounded like thunder; she panickedly looked at the person beside her and instinctively shook her head.

Yue Ying raised his eyebrows, thinking: "Wife Master indeed has a thief's heart but no thief's guts~ With such little courage, what will happen in the future?"

He reached out, grabbed her hand, and probed inside his own collar.

"Don't be scared~ Try it?"

Su Mo's almond eyes widened as she struggled: "You, you wouldn't be in Estrus Period, would you?"

Yue Ying's narrow eyes narrowed, a flash of cunning passing through his gaze.

He hummed softly, then lowered his head and gave her a smacking kiss on the cheek.

Actually it hasn't arrived yet, but he doesn't mind letting that thing come early……
