Chapter 75: Wife Master, She Likes Me the Most

~10 min read 1,808 words

Su Mo confirmed Jin Tong's identity, and felt much more at ease.

Not fearing a powerful enemy, but fearing not being able to read the enemy's moves.

Before sleeping at night, Su Mo summoned Jin Tong's Attendants and handed them a prescription.

She told them to have these herbs ready for her by tomorrow noon.

The Attendants scanned it once, frowned, and said, "A few of these herbs aren't found on the mountain."

Su Mo raised an eyebrow, "If you don't have them, figure out a way to get them; these are the detox herbs for your Gate Master!"

Having said that, Su Mo turned around and lay back on the bed.

She of course knew some herbs were hard to find; rare herbs, once they sprout, are dug up by Beastmen and taken to the Black Market where prices skyrocket.

The last time she gave Fei Yan the same herbs, as long as they contacted the Black Market people, Yue Ying would inevitably notice.

Then they wouldn't fear being unable to get in touch.

She can't rely solely on Ye Yuan; she still needs to make more preparations on her side.

The Attendants took Su Mo's prescription out, and whispered to those waiting outside, "A few of these herbs can probably only be obtained from the Black Market. But we don't deal with those people; what should we do?"

Another person frowned, "How about asking the Gate Master?"

"No, let's not bother the Gate Master over such a trivial matter; do we think our lives aren't long enough? Ah San just got thirty sticks of beating, we can't invite more trouble onto ourselves."

That person thought about it and agreed.

"Then let's figure out a way to contact the Black Market people; the village has no explicit rule against contact. We'll do it secretly. At worst, if the Gate Master asks later, we can say we harvested them on the mountain; I doubt he'd mind."

The two Attendants discussed for a while and happily decided so.

【8】 They went to the Beastmen in charge of the village's finances to withdraw some coins; that person, hearing it was for the Gate Master's detox herbs, didn't probe further.

He went to the Beastman in charge of the village's finances and withdrew some money; that person, hearing it was to prepare detoxifying medicinal herbs for the Gate Master, didn't inquire further.

At that time, Fei Yan, based on Su Mo's usual medication habits, roughly estimated the herbs she might need this time.

Mo Xiao, leading a few people, had already taken appropriate measures on the nearby mountain.

The seventh‑level Beastmen's illusion trick is something lower‑rank Attendants can't see through.

They left Ye Yuan there to guard.

He and Fei Yan decided to wander the village's Hou Shan to familiarize themselves with the terrain.

Yue Ying at this moment had already contacted the Black Market liaison of a nearby Tribe, informing them to contact him immediately if anyone offers a high price for herbs.

Before he could turn back, word came that someone from the village came, seeking herbs at a high price.

Yue Ying instantly slipped aside; he had already instructed that person that if they came to buy, they'd sell.

So after a brief exchange, they took the money and arranged to deliver the goods early tomorrow.

After the others left, Yue Ying emerged from the shadows.

He decided to go find Fei Yan first.

At that time, Fei Yan and Mo Xiao went to check the situation on the village's Hou Shan.

Then the two arrived at the location Ye Yuan mentioned, and suddenly a figure appeared behind them.

Yue Ying, shaking his fan, said, "You both came too?"

After a brief silence, he sighed, "I don't even know if Wife Master has slept; I miss her so much."

Fei Yan and Mo Xiao stayed silent, their faces still showing a calm demeanor.

But only they themselves know their true thoughts.

Seeing Su Mo being seized by Hei Yi Ren, a bone‑chilling cold surged from his heart up his spine, nearly suffocating him instantly.

Su Mo slept through the night until the latter half, then woke up from the heat.

Tossing and turning in bed, she couldn't fall back asleep; she guessed the time.

【At this hour, Jin Tong, that damn pervert, should already be asleep, right? I need to find a way out and observe the surroundings properly!】

After Su Mo was locked in this afternoon, she had already gone out once, but that pervert's scheming was so heavy that even when she went out, they covered her head.

But Su Mo has Xiao Jiu as a helper, so she can eventually obtain some useful information.

However, she left too quickly this afternoon; Xiao Jiu hasn't yet seen the southeast corner clearly, so they need to check again!

At this moment, the three who had been crouching on the Hou Shan all night heard this voice explode in their minds, and they all widened their eyes instantly.

Yue Ying, a bit excited, said, "It's Wife Master's voice!"

In an instant, the three moved behind the wall.

Su Mo sat up from the bed and began to coax the Beastmen guarding the gate.

"Little brother outside, are you there? My stomach suddenly hurts badly; can you let me out for a moment?"

The Beastman, half asleep, snapped, "Why are you so busy all day! This one now, that one now!"

Su Mo, with a pained expression, said, "I really can't hold it, make an exception... I just need to use the outhouse, it won't delay anything."

The young Beastman muttered and refused to cooperate.

Su Mo, forced to play her trump card, said, "That afternoon's game, I have other ways to play; if it doesn't work, I'll come back and teach you."

"I won't learn! Never again. The Gate Master said you're a scheming female, and I won't follow your ways!"

Su Mo: "I'll teach you a game. How is that scheming? I'm a weak female, can I possibly... Your Gate Master's courage is lacking, and his subordinates are the same... tsk tsk tsk."

"You're talking nonsense! Our Gate Master is the strongest! It's just a trip to the outhouse, wait, I'll open the door for you! With you like this, am I even afraid you'll run away?"

Su Mo stood behind the door, curled her lips slightly; the young, hot‑blooded Beastman, still clueless, was easy to coax, and with a few words she got him.

After coming out, the young Beastman tried to cover her head with a black cloth.

Su Mo frowned, "It's late at night and I can't see anything; why bother with all this?"

He thought that made sense, so he gave up, and pressed Su Mo outward.

Su Mo quickly called Xiao Jiu, "Hurry, help me check the outside situation!"

Xiao Jiu: "Alright, Host!"

Su Mo went to the outhouse and waited a moment, not in a hurry to come out.

"How is it, have you all remembered the outside situation?"

Xiao Jiu: "Remembered, the west side is the important armory, the east side holds some of their stored food. As for the exact layout, I'll give the host a detailed rundown instantly when we return!"

Su Mo: "Good! I deliberately wrote down several herbs only available at the Black Market tonight, hoping those few can be found quickly. Granny doesn't have time to play games with this Reincarnated Person!"

"Reincarnated Person? How do you know Jin Tong is a Reincarnated Person? I can't find his information over here~"

Su Mo: "What use are you?! But I'm also guessing, probably nine out of ten! Best to defeat this Reincarnated Person in one go, don't affect this young lady's enjoyment in the Beast World! I don't know what's wrong with him, staring at me, a cannon fodder, what for? Shouldn't his target be the female lead?"

She and Xiao Jiu hadn't finished speaking when the people outside urged: "Are you done yet? Did you fall into the latrine?"

"Alright! Coming out right away!"

Su Mo had just come out when someone grabbed her shoulder and dragged her toward the room.

Outside the wall, Yue Ying, Fei Yan, and Mo Xiao exchanged a glance. Because of their previous experience, they now could roughly guess the meaning of the three words "Reincarnated Person".

The only consolation is that, judging from the Wife Master's feelings, her condition should still be fine.

Only see Fei Yan frown and say: "This Jin Tong really seems somewhat complicated."

Su Mo returned to the room and, together with Xiao Jiu, started drafting the plans; Xiao Jiu recited from memory, and she took a branch and drew on the ground.

The three outside were also listening intently; Fei Yan, while listening, took a branch and drew the figure from Su Mo's mind.

I can't guarantee it's exactly the same, but it should be roughly correct; at least the important directions inside are now clear to them.

Su Mo finished the drawing, lay back on the bed and let out a long breath: "How am I supposed to get this drawing out?"

Xiao Jiu sighed along: "It's hard; bringing things in from outside is easy, but sending them out is nearly impossible..."

Su Mo couldn't help but complain about him again.

"Other people's systems can do anything, heaven and earth, why are you always so useless!"

"Host, you! You! Hum~ This system is really angry!"

A moment of silence.

Su Mo called him several times, but he actually ignored her.

"Good Xiao Jiu, obedient Xiao Jiu! This host is wrong~ Can we accept punishment?"

Xiao Jiu snorted: "I daren't, otherwise later your several Beast Husbands will come after me to fight!"

"By the way, do you miss them in your heart, host?"

Su Mo sighed, thought a moment, and said: "A bit~"

Xiao Jiu gossiped: "Who do you miss the most? Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, or Yue Ying, Cang Lan? Or maybe that Little Mermaid!"

This question left Su Mo stumped.

She turned over and refused to answer: "I'm tired, going to sleep!"

Although she said that, right now she just can't fall asleep no matter what.

【Who do I really miss the most? Fox? Free-range chicken? Leopard? That crying bag fish? Stinky Snake?】

At this moment, the three outside perked up their ears, waiting for the answer.

After waiting a long time, there was still no movement.

Fei Yan chuckled: "The Wife Master must be asleep; let's go find Ye Yuan."

Yue Ying narrowed his eyes happily: "No need to say, she definitely misses me the most! I was just ranked first! She likes me the most!"

After saying that, the flamboyant one shook his fan and left.

Mo Xiao furrowed his brows, saying this means he's only fifth?

This is impossible!
