Chapter 55: with translation of chapter title

Almost at the same time, Yue Ying, Fei Yan, and Mo Xiao all teleported to Su Mo's side.

Dealing with A Yun was nothing for Cang Lan.

But the moment his palm wind slashed forward, it was suddenly blocked by a surge of qi that fell from the sky!

The leading Hei Yi Ren grabbed A Yun from the ground and tried to leave.

Cang Lan immediately gave chase, and Yue Ying and Fei Yan followed.

Mo Xiao didn't hurry after them; he needed to stay to protect Su Mo.

The Dragon Clan's Attendants also rushed forward to help, but the opponent suddenly scattered a dose of Confusing Drug, and the Attendants instantly collapsed.

Yue Ying and Fei Yan were still quick-witted, promptly covering their mouths and noses.

Cang Lan still inhaled some, and his steps immediately became staggered.

The opponent's several fighters were not inferior to Yue Ying and Fei Yan, and the two gradually felt a bit uneasy.

Beside them, Long Yan and his guards also leapt over to assist.

Just as they steadied themselves, the leading man again scattered some powder.

In the chaos, a sharp blade thrust straight at Yue Ying; fortunately Fei Yan reacted quickly, using his wing to deflect it.

Nevertheless he was injured, bright red blood dripping down the edge of his wing.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Su Mo immediately fetched a Detox Pill from the Laboratory and handed it to Mo Xiao, indicating that he should pass it to the people ahead.

Mo Xiao hesitated, glanced at her; Su Mo frowned: "Lord Lan Ling is here, I'm proficient with poison, it shouldn't cause trouble."

Lan Ling on the ground suddenly broke free from the rope, stood up, and nodded at Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao darted forward.

Lan Ling quickly led the remaining Attendants, shielding the Military Advisor and Su Mo in the middle.

Su Mo, while observing the fight not far away, frowned and asked Lan Ling: "Commander, can you recognize these people's techniques?"

"It seems there are techniques from our Dragon Clan, but also some from the North Wing. The leader's rank is quite high, probably a Level 9 Beastman. The two close to him are at least Level 8 Beastmen, and the others are all around Level 5 or 6."

Su Mo frowned; it seemed her feeling was correct—it was a tough opponent.

Level 9 Beastman?

She recalled that in the original book at this point, there were no Beastmen of such high level yet.

The Dragon Clan's Attendants were of relatively low rank, making them trivial to deal with.

Only Mo Xiao and Long Yan could handle a few moves.

But most of the opponents were not below their level, so it was still somewhat taxing.

Su Mo had already noticed Fei Yan was struggling; the blade that had just thrust at him was probably coated with something else.

She looked at Lan Ling beside her and asked, "Do you have a bow and arrows?"

Lan Ling quickly fetched a bow and arrows; Su Mo pulled a bottle of medicine from the void and smeared it onto an arrow.

She had him aim at the leading Beastman.

Lan Ling leapt toward that man, drew the bow, and took aim!

Just as he was about to release the arrow, the opponent suddenly turned his head, a fierce gaze flashing over, and then casually tossed a hidden weapon.

Lan Ling couldn't dodge, was hit by the hidden weapon, and fell to the ground at high speed.

Meanwhile, the black-clad man suddenly changed direction and sped toward Su Mo.

"Wife Master!"

Mo Xiao's distracted defense was pierced by an arrow from the person beside him, cutting his arm.

"Shoot!"

Su Mo stood among the Attendants; with a single command, several arrows were launched from beside her.

But for a Level 9 Beastman, these were mere drizzle; a flick of his sleeve could easily deflect them.

Su Mo's brow furrowed slightly; she silently cursed, and at once reached for the poison bag at her waist.

【This reckless one, truly targeting the aunt???】

【It's over, it's over, I have no idea whether my new poison will work on this Level 9 Beastman...】

Just as Su Mo was panicking, with a "whoosh", Lan Ling on the ground shot an arrow from behind that struck the black-clad man!

The black-clad man's figure froze for a moment; Lan Ling gritted his teeth, enduring the pain of countless ants gnawing his body, and shot another arrow at him.

The black-clad men besieging Mo Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "Gate Master!"

The black-clad man hovered in the air, covering the shoulder hit by the arrow, squinting as he looked at Su Mo.

Then he turned and said, "Retreat!"

Cang Lan wanted to pursue again, but Mo Xiao stopped him: "You're not a match for those people; for now, don't act rashly."

After speaking, he supported the wounded Fei Yan and flew to stand before Su Mo.

"Wife Master, first check Fei Yan's wound!"

Su Mo reached for Fei Yan's pulse point, frowned, and said, "First, go back!"

Long Yan and his party also hurried to follow.

The Military Advisor wanted to call Lan Ling to go together so Su Mo could show him the wound, but he merely gave a cold glance at the unconscious A Yun on the ground.

He showed a painful expression and said, "My wound can be treated by a Shaman Doctor, so I won't trouble Miss Su."

The Military Advisor glanced at his wound, his face showing concern.

Seeing the wound was small, but the hidden weapon likely carried something else, he wasn't sure if a Shaman Doctor could cure it.

However, seeing Lan Ling persist, the Military Advisor didn't say much more.

Yue Ying and several others brought Fei Yan to Su Mo's room; his body temperature was frighteningly high.

He was poisoned.

The most deadly part isn't just the poisoning.

Su Mo wrote the prescription while having Yue Ying quickly prepare the medicine, and she took the Inhibitor and Tranquilizer from the System Laboratory for Fei Yan to take.

A Beastmen injured during Estrus Period is the most lethal.

The bloody scent of the wound triggers instinct; after the pain, the desire and longing in the heart grow stronger.

If poisoned, the toxin easily spreads through the blood to corrode the internal organs.

Su Mo retrieved a Detox Pill from the space and fed it to him; it was effective, but it seemed not to work.

"Ding"—the voice of Xiao Jiu suddenly rang out.

"Host, try using your blood to suppress the toxin for him!"

Su Mo was startled【Right, right! Previously Long Yan also relied on my blood to stop the poison!】

With that thought, she casually grabbed the Dagger nearby.

Mo Xiao, standing nearby, called urgently, "Wife Master!"

Su Mo quickly cut her finger and handed it to Fei Yan's lips: "Quick, drink my blood!"

Fei Yan frowned and shook his head, refusing: "I cannot harm Wife Master!"

"What era is this, still saying that!" Su Mo, without further argument, forced his mouth open and shoved the finger into his mouth.

A moment later, she placed her hand back on Fei Yan's pulse point.

"The toxin is indeed under control!"

【I didn't expect that my body, riddled with five poisons, could still be useful like this!】

【Fortunately Auntie's blood is effective; otherwise tonight this bird would have lost half its life!】

Fei Yan listened to Su Mo's inner voice and frowned slightly.

He exchanged a calm glance with Mo Xiao.

Cang Lan, standing at the doorway, looked puzzled: "Did Wife Master get poisoned?"

Long Yan and the Military Advisor were merely astonished: Su Mo's blood can control toxins?

Long Yan, thinking of having drunk Su Mo's blood, blushed inwardly.

In a moment, Yue Ying returned carrying the boiled medicine; Su Mo took the bowl and handed it to Fei Yan's mouth.

He drank the medicine, yet his whole body remained very weak.

Moreover, the emotions inside him hadn't been fully suppressed, so the whole night ahead still required careful observation.

Su Mo said to him: "Stay in my room tonight; it makes it easier for me to take care of you."

Fei Yan nodded: "Sorry to trouble Wife Master."

Yue Ying narrowed his eyes, about to speak up to stay and help Su Mo with the care.

Mo Xiao's cold gaze turned toward them.

From the first time he saw Wife Master at night, he smelled the scent of a Dead Fox on her.

Fei Yan's Estrus Period hasn't been suppressed; it may not be unrelated to this Dead Fox.

It must have been stimulated at night, causing the rebound.

If this Dead Fox remains and further stimulates Fei Yan, then Wife Master's care will only become more troublesome.

Su Mo glanced sideways at Mo Xiao's bleeding arm, frowned and said, "Come over, I'll show you."

"Hmm."

Mo Xiao, looking obedient, walked over, sat down, and extended his arm.

Su Mo asked in surprise, "Did your level increase?"

Mo Xiao nodded. After neutralizing the Beast Binding Pill toxin in the prison, the problem he had been unable to break through suddenly resolved, and he rose to level seven.

It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

The toxin on Mo Xiao is still fairly controllable, after all he's not in Estrus Period.

Su Mo gave him a Detox Pill and then tended his wound.

She lifted her gaze at the people lingering at the doorway and said, "Everyone, go back and rest."

Mo Xiao stood up and was the first to walk out.

Long Yan and the Military Advisor said farewell to them, then left.

Only Su Mo and Fei Yan remained in the room.

Su Mo yawned while tidying up her tools and disinfectant.

After a night of hustle, she was exhausted.

After finishing, Su Mo turned to Fei Yan and said, "Tonight you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the wooden board below. If anything feels uncomfortable, call me anytime."

Having said that, she took a pillow and a beast‑skin blanket and lay down.

Fei Yan lay on the bed, turned his side to watch her slender back, and an inexplicable guilt rose in his heart.

That night, Su Mo felt a sudden tightness at her waist, as if she were leaning against a warm embrace.

She just inexplicably felt the thing in her arms felt good, squeezing it, then touching it again~

"Wife, Wife Master…"

Fei Yan's Adam's apple bobbed as he struggled to speak.

Su Mo vaguely heard someone call her, and, like a cat, responded, "Hmm?"

Then, instinctively, she reached out, half‑dazed, and asked, "Fei Yan… are you okay?"

Fei Yan, his face reddening, looked at the oddly‑posed person hanging on him and gave a mute reply.

"Hmm."

"Oh~ that's good."

Su Mo let out a sigh; at this moment her drowsiness was strong, and she, content, fell asleep again.
