Chapter 77: Choice of the Right Husband
After finding useful information, Su Mo quickly put those things into the System Space.
Xiao Jiu laughed and said: "Looks like those few aren't stupid; they finally came looking for you. Tsk, the Snake Young Master and the fox are really going to great lengths to win your favor. Are they here to save you, or just to talk love?"
Su Mo nodded: "No need to be so surprised, after all he's the original story's major villain, his intelligence is still online. Can't we talk love while fighting that reincarnated person?"
"Host, have you heard the saying that people in love have zero IQ, even negative? I'm afraid you'll affect their sword-drawing speed~"
Su Mo was speechless: "You're really underestimating these villains from the original story; it's not that bad."
"Host, when exactly are we breaking out? Tomorrow is the deadline Jin Tong gave you. If we can't detox him and can't get out, we might be done for......"
Su Mo pondered for a moment: "With the confusing drug in my hand, poisoning these villagers isn't hard; the harder part is Jin Tong and those high-level beastmen he keeps close."
"But how can we poison those people? That man in black is very sharp~ And you're trapped inside now, so going out to act isn't really possible~"
Su Mo glanced at the young beastman outside with her peripheral vision, already having an idea.
Su Mo frowned and said: "At the latest, tomorrow night!"
Xiao Jiu suddenly shouted nervously: "No way, Host, the three-day deadline arrives tomorrow afternoon—are you sure we'll survive until tomorrow night???"
"I'll find a way to delay that damned thing for half a day; if things go smoothly, maybe we can even get ahead and make preparations."
Xiao Jiu worriedly asked: "I don't know if those outsiders can cooperate perfectly; we can't afford any mistakes, or else we'll die......"
"What life or death! Didn't you say the Host is blessed and will be fine? Once I get out, I'll take you to eat well and live large!"
Xiao Jiu: "Mm-hmm, that would be best......"
"Sure!"
Just as Su Mo finished talking with Xiao Jiu, a young beastman's voice came from outside: "Miss Su, your vegetable porridge is here!"
Soon he opened the door and came in; Su Mo glanced and noted that today's breakfast was much more lavish than last night's dinner.
His attitude was completely different from before; he even thoughtfully asked Su Mo: "Is there anything you need me to quietly tell you? I'll go get it for you!"
Su Mo narrowed her eyes and said: "Thanks, young man. Go out first; I'll call you after I finish eating."
Xiao Jiu's voice echoed in her mind: "They say love makes IQ zero—this must be what they mean, right?"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow and retorted: "His type is pure love-brain without a brain; he tosses his intellect aside before even catching the person. Beastmen like him, even if they succeed in winning someone over, could never become the Right Husband."
Xiao Jiu asked again: "Who is your pick for the Right Husband in your mind, Host?"
Su Mo froze.
【My choice for the Right Husband, Ai Ma~ This question is really tough for me…… those few, uh…… hard to handle!】
Instantly, the few standing outside the wall all froze, listening intently.
Xiao Jiu frowned: "Is it really necessary to be so difficult? I think any of them would be fine; just pick one at random. You've been eating so well lately, you're actually being picky?"
"You don't know squat— the Right Husband isn't something you can pick randomly; if you choose wrong, wouldn't the young lady be at his mercy?!"
Xiao Jiu: "Then tell me your requirements; if I detect a better match later, I'll recommend them! Anyway, marrying eighty-odd people is your ultimate goal, right? 'Fertile water doesn't flow to outsiders' field, right?"
"...... Your heart is too dark! Darker than mine!!!!"
Xiao Jiu shamelessly said: "Of course! Like master, like servant; the student surpasses the teacher—Host should be pleased about this!"
"Your shamelessness keeps growing… it's simply outrageous day by day!"
Xiao Jiu: "Quickly say your requirements!"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "First, the combat strength needs to be high enough, right?"
Hearing that, Xiao Jiu widened his eyes: "Mo Xiao currently has the highest level—he fits this point!"
Upon hearing that, Mo Xiao outside brightened, a hint of joy appearing in his dark eyes.
Yue Ying at his side grit his teeth silently, while Ye Yuan pressed his lips together.
Fei Yan, however, remained unchanged, still looking as clear and smooth as jade.
Su Mo continued: "Can't be too overbearing; better to be gentle and considerate, and be sensible."
Xiao Jiu: "For that point, the High Priest seems more suitable!"
Su Mo shook her head again: "It would also be nice if he could cheer me up from time to time."
"For that, the suspicious fox can do it!"
Su Mo frowned: "Can't there be one person who has all these qualities?"
"Tch, you greedy woman, always wanting more! How can anyone be this greedy......"
Even the system can't help but want to curse—these demands are downright excessive compared to marrying eighty people!!!!
Yue Ying outside the wall laughed happily, thinking he still had potential to become the Right Husband! After all, he's not only gentle but also knows how to cheer the Wife Master up; as for combat strength, with later training it's no problem!
Ye Yuan wasn't so happy either—being a merman, his combat strength isn't the strongest, he doesn't know how to cheer the Wife Master up, and before he even had the Wife Master cheer him……
Wah-wah-wah, done for!!!!
He walked toward Xiao Shulin with a tear-streaked face.
Lord Jian Yi spotted the merman young lord approaching from afar; seeing his expression off, he worriedly asked: "Did something happen to Miss Su?"
Ye Yuan shook his head, dejected: "The Wife Master doesn't like me; she likes someone with strong combat strength, gentle and likable, who can cheer her up…… I lack all these qualities, Lord Jian Yi, what should I do?"
Jiao Li let out a sigh.
After a thousand words, it all boiled down to one sentence: "Let's wait until Miss Su comes out to talk about it."
He didn't think Miss Su would dislike the young lord; even if she's changed a bit, given her own conditions, being matched with a beast husband like him is already the ceiling.
His worry is that the young lord never figured out his true feelings from start to finish.
He had always been an obedient little beastman since childhood; even when he initially proposed to call off his engagement with Su Mo, he had no objections.
But ever since he personally went to the North Wing and ran into Miss Su again, everything seems to have changed.
Even something utterly ordinary, once people start fighting over it, can easily stir up possessiveness.
At that moment, on Su Mo's side, Jin Tong came to her room after finishing breakfast.
Su Mo gave him the newly researched detox pill; he didn't rush to take it, but instead took it and left straight away.
When leaving, he still didn't forget to instruct the attendant Beastman at the gate: "If there's no special circumstance, no need to attend to her."
The Beastman lowered his head and replied: "Yes, Gate Master."
The man said no more, taking the pill and went to his own room.
Su Mo knew he had taken the medicine to study.
This bastard, he's very on guard.
Xiao Jiu: "Host, he won't notice anything, right?"
"I added only a little, he won't notice for a while."
"We should still think of a way to leave quickly; if he finds out, we'll surely die!"
Su Mo narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, by the time he finds out, this granny will definitely not be in this lousy place!"
