Chapter 61: Just a Kiss, That's All

Later, each time Su Mo muttered a complaint in her heart, Mo Xiao would unflinchingly teach it again.

Then he smiled at her, gently yet enticingly asked, "Wife Master, do you think there's anything that still needs improvement? Feel free to say it outright; I will certainly admit my mistake and change."

Su Mo pursed her slightly numb lips, blushing, gesturing with her small hand, "You… you're great! Very great! … I'm going down the mountain, I'm going back!"

She rolled and crawled out of the cave.

【Heavenly Lord, how could I be so blinded by lust in a moment and end up kissing this Stinky Snake… I must be insane!】

【Sob sob sob, I'd better stay away from him from now on; with my slight build, he'll eventually play me to death… I will never be foolish again…】

Mo Xiao's gaze grew a bit somber, "Well done, after the kiss you won't own up, just as her nature indeed."

His Snake Tail suddenly hooked the ankle she was trying to crawl out with.

Su Mo spun around, and the person behind her instantly arrived in front of her, flipping to pin her beneath him.

His deep eyes meticulously scanned every inch of her face, missing no subtle expression.

"What are you running from? No one is making you responsible."

Su Mo silently breathed a sigh of relief.

【The system that damn thing was right, I should be a slut! It was just a kiss, that's all…】

【Stinky Snake didn't come back today on purpose to flirt with me, did he?! Scheming snake, Auntie will definitely not fall for his tricks next time!!!】

Mo Xiao's eye corner twitched, staring at the person beneath him, each word deliberate: "I permit you to be irresponsible toward me, but I… must be responsible for you. Mo Mo, okay?"

Su Mo's eyes widened—Stinky Snake trying to pull a scheme on him again?

Mo Xiao lifted his hand to touch her slightly reddened, swollen lips: "If you say nothing, I'll take it as your agreement."

"I…"

The next second, she was again sealed with a kiss by that person.

Afterwards, he said with a satisfied expression, "Speaking also counts as consent."

Su Mo covered her lips and glared at him: "You have no shame!"

Mo Xiao nodded, his tone light: "Hmm, Wife Master is right."

A face like that, if it needs to be discarded, just discard it; however it is, it's still better than being thrown away by her.

Su Mo stared at the shameless person, and for a moment was at a loss for words.

Mo Xiao let out a light laugh, leaned down to imprint a kiss on her forehead, then gently embraced her again.

He whispered soothingly: "My dowry is ready at any time; whenever you want to marry, we can marry. I will never pressure you, okay?"

"Just… don't leave me."

When descending the mountain, Su Mo shouted that she wanted to walk, but after a short while she was exhausted, and eventually Mo Xiao carried her down.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, she fell asleep.

She lay on his back all the way home, never waking.

Mo Xiao put her back in the room, then went out, took the herbs from the beast‑skin bag and handed them to Yue Ying, asking him to give them to Fei Yan for brewing.

Yue Ying glanced at the red mark on his lip corner, then looked at the expression of that Stinky Snake, and instantly understood everything.

Sure enough, a scheming snake!

By the time Su Mo woke up, it was already dark outside, the moon hanging high.

She groggily opened her eyes, and the moment her vision cleared, the room suddenly brightened.

Su Mo met a pair of jet‑black eyes; Cang Lan was sitting cross‑legged at her bedside, his eyes fixed on her without blinking.

"You… what are you doing here?"

Cang Lan smiled faintly: "Taking care of Wife Master."

Su Mo puzzled: "I'm sleeping, what are you supposed to take care of?"

Cang Lan replied seriously: "Watching you."

"…you really don't have to be so thoughtful and thorough."

Cang Lan squinted, a delighted expression, saying: "Tonight I'll sleep with Wife Master, happy!"

As he said so, he began taking off his shoes, preparing to get into bed.

"Wait!" Su Mo reached out to stop him.

A trace of sorrow immediately appeared on Xiao Bao's face: "Wife Master doesn't like me? Doesn't want to sleep with me?"

Su Mo: "…"

What on earth is going on?!

Cang Lan looked at her plaintively and asked: "Did I do something wrong that made Wife Master unhappy?"

"It's not that…"

Su Mo helplessly said: "Um, I'd like to get up and have something to eat first, okay?"

"Alright!"

Cang Lan helped her up and thoughtfully put shoes on her.

The two had just pushed the door open when they saw three people standing not far away.

Mo Xiao's expression remained calm as he looked at her.

Yue Ying's gaze swept over Su Mo's still reddened lips, his eyes briefly darkened, then brightened again.

Fei Yan looked at Su Mo, gently curving his lips, and softly said: "Wife Master is awake, let's have dinner together."

As soon as Su Mo sat down, three small plates appeared before her.

One plate of fish meat, one plate of vegetables, a wild vegetable pancake, and then Cang Lan pushed another small plate over.

With a serious expression he said to her: "Wife Master, if you eat their food, you must also eat mine."

Su Mo opened her lips slightly; this world really has gone mad…

【It's time to display the dignity of me as the head of the household!】

She returned those items to each person, frowned and pretended to be stern, saying: "Everyone eat their own!"

【They really turned against them...】

She lifted her gaze and saw several people opposite, their deep, calm eyes all fixed on her.

Su Mo subconsciously wanted to tuck her neck in, 【What kind of look is that, do they really want to rebel? If they team up... me!】

【Don't panic, you can lose a person but not the formation!】

Su Mo clenched her chopsticks, eyes wide: "What are you looking at, eat!"

Mo Xiao stared at her for a few seconds, then couldn't help but smile lightly.

Su Mo gritted her teeth, 【Stinky Snake! Auntie will make him look good sooner or later!】

Mo Xiao slightly raised an eyebrow, as if saying: I'm waiting.

Su Mo glared at him, lowered her head and ate dry rice.

She pondered silently, wondering if she should also find a few helpers.

Fei Yan and the others paused their eating, exchanged a glance, and remained silently in tacit understanding.

After the meal, two Dragon Cubs came over, and Su Mo followed them for a stroll.

Those few had intended to follow, but she found an excuse to keep them at home.

Su Mo took out the several documents the system gave, letting them study at home, to help Fei Yan find an antidote.

Cang Lan held the book in his hands, so sleepy he kept dozing, not reading a single character.

It was Yue Ying, Fei Yan, and Mo Xiao who read attentively.

After a moment, the three even began exchanging insights.

"Wife Master doesn't even know where she got the book, it's written so detailed."

Yue Ying added, "If this contains a method to cure the poison on Fei Yan's body, then does it also have a way to cure the poison on Wife Master's body?"

Saying that, the three exchanged a glance, clearly the thought aligned again.

Fei Yan frowned and said, "Whether it exists or not, let's look first."

The few reading attentively didn't notice the time.

By the time they realized, quite a while had passed.

"Why hasn't Wife Master returned yet? I have to go check!"

Yue Ying said worriedly, closed the book in his hands, and stood up to go out.

Fei Yan and Mo Xiao also quickened their steps to follow.

Not far away, they saw Su Mo surrounded by several Dragon Clan Beastmen.

Major General Long Yan was also among them, looking at Su Mo, his smiling eyes almost sparking with electricity.

Those young Beastmen's gazes at Su Mo also emitted an unusually excited glow.

The scent of youthful hormones was unusually strong.

Since they were also Beastmen, Yue Ying and the others saw through those people's thoughts at a glance.

Yue Ying's mouth twitched in anger, and looking at Su Mo in the crowd, he thought resentfully, "She really should be locked up at home!"
