Chapter 7

Su Mo looked at the old kid's darting eyes and already read his thoughts.

【This shameless one is definitely scheming in his heart how to frame me so that I can pin the crime on Long Yan!】

Fei Yan frowned in disagreement.

However, he still decided to watch and wait.

But the next second, the Shaman Doctor's words completely shattered his thoughts: "The deity just told me that within Minor General Long Yan's body, there truly are traces of a forbidden drug! Su Mo, you are downright reckless! Do you realize your mistake!"

Fei Yan knit his brows tightly, looking at the Shaman Doctor in disbelief.

Su Mo, with a calm face, said, "Have you diagnosed it clearly? Are you sure it was the deity who told you?"

"Your little stunt can't fool me? It's obvious you increased the dosage, causing the person to fall unconscious. So you might as well use a weapon to create a wound; that way you can pull off a perfect deception!"

Then he picked up an unknown jar on the bedside: "This is the forbidden drug you used on the Dragon Clan Minor General!"

Inside, the white powder was very conspicuous.

A Nuan's eyes lit up as she looked at Fei Yan: "High Priest, could you still be favoring this vicious female?"

【Holding my mother's anti-inflammatory medicine and calling it a forbidden drug, you guys are really stupid!】

【The most foolish is that bald Shaman Doctor, claiming to be a deity? Such nonsense only fools this ragtag crowd; if the deity were real, wouldn't he have cured his baldness by now!】

Fei Yan couldn't help but let out a light cough.

Then he looked at Su Mo and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Su Mo walked over and snatched the bottle from the Shaman Doctor's hand: "Shaman Doctor, are you certain this is a forbidden drug?"

"Of course! Its effect is fierce; an ordinary person who accidentally inhales too much will die! The Dragon Clan Minor General sleeping here is the best proof!"

"What if I say it's not?" Su Mo opened the bottle, dipped a fingertip lightly, and twirled it.

The others, frightened, stepped back.

"What are you afraid of? This is just hemostatic and anti-inflammatory powder; if anyone is wounded, just try it and you'll know its truth!"

"It's obvious! Stop your sophistry!" The Shaman Doctor didn't think anyone would dare try the medicine, and since Su Mo is generally disliked in the Tribe, no one would risk for her. As long as he sticks to his claim, Su Mo has no defense!

That white powder looked odd; how could it possibly have hemostatic and anti-inflammatory properties! Su Mo must be talking nonsense!

The crowd stared at each other, no one dared to step forward; after all, the Shaman Doctor's words were more trustworthy than Su Mo's.

Su Mo looked at the crowd, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

【Fine, I'll handle it myself! sob sob, to save this dragon, the aunt has spent spirit and energy, and now must cut herself; later he'll have to repay me properly!】

Just as she picked up the dagger beside her, preparing to cut her finger.

"Hold on, let me."

Fei Yan rolled up his sleeve, revealing a piece of rotting flesh, which he had gotten from hunting two days ago, and because he hadn't treated it in time, it had begun to decay.

Su Mo never expected that Fei Yan, this ground chicken, would actually step forward to test the medicine for her.

In the stunned empty gap, Fei Yan raised his hand and the knife cut the rotting flesh, and bright red blood instantly spurted out.

The crowd shouted, "High Priest, have you forgotten Su Mo's use of the Love-inducing Flower on Mo Xiao?!"

"Indeed, this is a forbidden drug!"

The Shaman Doctor hurriedly said, "High Priest, you must not!"

Fei Yan frowned, "Let her try!"

Su Mo poured some powder onto the wound; the bleeding stopped quickly, and the surrounding swelling visibly receded.

The onlookers watched this scene in disbelief.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow, "This is the hemostatic and anti-inflammatory divine medicine gifted by the system, far more effective than ordinary drugs; consider today as my way of opening your eyes."

She turned to the flustered Shaman Doctor: "What else do you have to say?"

The crowd's suspicious gazes turned to the Shaman Doctor, beginning to doubt whether his earlier words were true.

"Even if this isn't a forbidden drug, it doesn't mean you don't have other medicines!"

Fei Yan said coldly, "Shaman Doctor, you must back your words with evidence; your misdiagnosis just caused a joke, I advise you to speak cautiously. Though I'm not a physician, I know a thing or two; there is no forbidden drug on Long Yan's body. I wonder how you diagnosed it just now?"

Su Mo was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected that Fei Yan, this bird, would not only test the medicine for her but also prove it for her.

The onlookers also showed surprise: "Isn't the High Priest the one who despises Su Mo the most? Why would he speak for her?!"

"The High Priest shouldn't speak nonsense, so the Shaman Doctor really slandered Su Mo just now?"

A Nuan frowned, "Impossible, how could the Shaman Doctor frame Su Mo!"

Fei Yan glanced coldly at her, "If you don't believe, bring a few who have some medical knowledge; a glance will show who's lying!"

The crowd began to chatter, most starting to question the Shaman Doctor's earlier diagnosis.

At this moment, two Dragon Cubs, dragging wild vegetables they dug from the mountain, stumbled into the room.

Looking at the people inside, the two little ones were stunned.

Then they smiled at Su Mo and said, "Doctor sister, you worked hard to treat our Minor General, we have nothing to repay, so we went up the mountain to hunt some prey and also gathered some wild vegetables!"

Su Mo bent down and patted the cute horns on their heads: "Don't go out anymore; you all have injuries too."

"It's fine! You healed all our wounds!"

One Dragon Cub, with a sincere face, said, "When the Minor General wakes up, we will definitely thank you profusely!"

The crowd murmured, "It seems Su Mo really wasn't lying."

"Shaman Doctor is too clueless; how could he misdiagnose this..."

Fei Yan twisted his brow and looked at the crowd: "Everything is now clear, everyone out!"

The Shaman Doctor's face turned scarlet, his embarrassed gaze on Su Mo, then he was the first to walk out.

Su Mo said coldly, "Priest Lord, stay here with the Shaman Doctor; the Shaman Doctor just swore that I used a forbidden drug on the Dragon Clan Minor General, causing his severe injury and unconsciousness. Such blatant slander, if you don't give me an explanation, I can't let it pass!"

Fei Yan twisted his brow and looked at the Shaman Doctor: "Shaman Doctor, abusing your profession to slander others, you are suspended from duty starting today. You will assist the cleaning crew in sweeping the town's trash daily. When the Tribe Chief returns, we will decide further punishment."

The Shaman Doctor clearly was a bit resentful: "Priest Lord, you..."

Fei Yan's cold gaze fixed on him, displeased he said: "What, the Shaman Doctor thinks my punishment was too lenient?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

The Shaman Doctor huffed, turned, and walked away with hands behind back.

After watching the commotion, the crowd also left.

Su Mo turned and saw Fei Yan still standing there, she couldn't help but frown 【Why hasn't he left yet?】

Fei Yan coughed lightly and said: "The Shaman Doctor is suspended; my arm injury still needs trouble from the Future Wife Master."

【No way, it's just a small wound; even if I hadn't just given you medicine, with your ability you could completely heal yourself!】

Fei Yan's expression remained normal as he continued: "The Dragon Clan Minor General's status is special; these few days I'll stay to help you take care of him. If there's anything, just command me."

【Are you sick?! No, he doesn't trust me, wants to stay and supervise me? Damn ground chicken, his scheming is no less than a fox's!!!】

"Cough!" Fei Yan's hand at his side clenched slightly, trying to stay calm.

Su Mo: "... Go wash the wild vegetables."

When she went to the kitchen to cook, Yue Ying arrived.

He had already heard about what just happened, feeling regret for coming too late, unable to help Su Mo in time.

Looking at Fei Yan washing vegetables, Yue Ying was somewhat surprised: "You're going to eat before leaving?"

Fei Yan didn't even look up, replying: "I'm not leaving tonight."

"You want to stay here?!"

"If you can stay, then I cannot?"

"You weren't dead set on calling off the engagement before, were you..."

"Who said that?!"

Fei Yan unhappily splashed water in the face of the fox opposite; the fox's scheming is indeed plentiful, and he now dares to harbor the thought of monopolizing the Future Wife Master alone.

In the kitchen, Su Mo stir-fried while pondering.

【Tonight it's best to give Long Yan a bath and scrub him; if not washed he'll stink! Taking this opportunity, I can also feast my eyes~ However, this must not be known by that Dead Fox, otherwise he'll surely ruin my plans!】

Outside, Yue Ying and Fei Yan exchanged a glance: "……"
