Chapter 93: The Original Book's Female Lead's Closest Aides

A swarm of villagers surged before Su Mo, with many familiar faces.

The one at the front was A Nuan.

"Su Mo!"

She hurried over, excitement barely hidden in her brows and eyes.

"You finally came back; if you hadn't, I'd have to put up a missing‑person notice!"

Su Mo laughed, "I was just out having some fun; it's not that exaggerated."

"How could it be exaggerated! While you were gone, everyone missed you! After your house burned down, you vanished, and we were worried for a while~"

As soon as she finished, the people chattered at Su Mo all at once.

"Little Mo, you're fixing the house this time, preparing for a marriage, right?"

"…"

Before Su Mo could speak, someone beside her said, "We're here to attend the wedding feast!"

"We've already prepared the contribution money for you!"

"Next month has many auspicious days; why not bring all those fiancés into the house together!"

A Nuan grasped Su Mo's hand excitedly, "Aunt said it right! I think it's fine!"

Su Mo helplessly gave her a look, "Why are you joining the fuss?"

A Nuan frowned, leaned to her ear in surprise, "You aren't planning to be a scoundrel, shirking responsibility, are you? Even though you've learned some medical arts, this still won't do~"

"…"

Su Mo, speechless, gave her a look.

【A period without seeing each other, and A Nuan's imagination is still so outrageous…】

She lifted her gaze and met a few people standing beyond the crowd.

Yue Ying and Fei Yan had also arrived in the village.

At this moment, the fox held a fan, looking at him with a half‑smile.

Yue Ying admitted that he had previously been a bit too opinionated about this elderly woman's femininity in the village; such an enthusiastic old lady, what a great person!

Right, we should push for marriage like this! Everyone should push!

Su Mo looked at the surrounding villagers and could only smile helplessly.

"Let's talk later; my house isn't even finished being repaired yet…"

Not far away, Shaman Doctor Huang Ming came with the little werewolf Feiyun, and a somewhat unfamiliar Beastman.

Huang Ming said to the people on the outskirts, "Excuse me, could everyone step aside? I have a few words to say to my master!"

Recently, Huang Ming has been in the Tribe, focusing on medical studies, solving many problems for everyone and gaining much goodwill.

At that moment, everyone greeted him with cheerful smiles as soon as they saw him.

"Shaman Doctor Huang Ming has arrived."

"It's the esteemed Shaman Doctor!"

Huang Ming smiled, greeted them, and then smoothly led the group to Su Mo's side.

He asked earnestly, "Master, have you been well these past days?"

Su Mo, looking surprised, "…Um, when did I become your master?"

Huang Ming, with a serious expression, "You taught me medicine; in my heart, you have long been my master. However, I haven't formally taken you as master yet; my disciple's etiquette was lacking!"

The medical knowledge Su Mo gave him previously solved many of his problems, and everything she told him before has been very useful.

Huang Ming kept thinking that once Su Mo returned, he would formally become her disciple!

He said sternly, "Pick a day, and I will formally take you as master!"

"…Well, that's not necessary…"

"Yes, I do!"

Su Mo waved her hand, "Really, it's not needed. If you have anything you don't understand, come ask me; I will tell you everything I know! Just call me Miss Su."

"But I…"

Huang Ming began to say that he still wanted to formally become her disciple, but before he could finish, Fei Yan interrupted.

"Huang Shaman Doctor, no need to be formal; if you have any questions, just go to the Wife Master. She's been on the road a lot and is a bit tired; if there's nothing else, everyone can head back first."

The crowd said a few more words and then left.

Huang Ming and the others didn't hurry to leave.

He pulled a fresh‑faced newcomer over and explained to Su Mo, "Miss Su, this is the Tiger Tribe Tribe member you saved last time; he's been waiting for you these days, wanting to thank you in person."

Su Mo sized up the man opposite; he was tall and mighty, with handsome features, and his gaze exuded a dignified, unprovoked authority.

She thought for a moment and recalled that this man was the one she treated at the village entrance before going to the Dragon Tribe.

Logically, he should be a fierce general of the original book's female lead, but he probably hasn't met her yet.

The Tiger Beastmen bowed, clasped his fists, and said to Su Mo, "Thank you, Miss Su, for saving my life; Bai Chi's kindness is unforgettable! If you ever need any help, I will certainly not refuse!"

The Fei Yan and Mo Xiao standing behind Su Mo exchanged a glance—Bai Chi?

That's the Tiger Clan general!

Su Mo frowned at the man opposite, "Lord Bai, you're being modest; I only treated your wound at first, and the rest was handled by Shaman Doctor Huang Ming."

"But if you hadn't treated me promptly that day, I might have died from the poison. I owe you a life! In the future, as long as it doesn't conflict with Tiger Clan interests, I would risk my life to help you!"

Huang Ming had already told Bai Chi that the poison in him was cured by a formula Su Mo wrote; that day his injury was severe, and without her medicine, Huang Ming couldn't guarantee his survival.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo quickly waved her hand, "Really, no need. I don't like asking people to do life‑risking things… If Lord Bai truly appreciates my kindness, be more careful in the future; after all, a life is only one, don't joke about such matters."

She is someone who cherishes life and dislikes others constantly using life as a bargaining chip.

It seems as if life were some worthless thing…

Bai Chi slightly furrowed his brow, looked at her solemnly and nodded, "Very well! If you have any trouble in the future, just come find me!"

Having said that, he handed Su Mo a waist badge, "Take this to the Tiger Tribe Tribe and give my name; you'll have free passage!"

Su Mo took it and thanked him.

【This original novel's heroine's right‑hand man, his strength is not to be underestimated; I'd better not make an enemy of such a person.】

Bai Chi added, "I have been away from the tribe for many days; my relatives and friends must be worried. After thanking Miss Su today, I will return to the Tiger Tribe Tribe."

"Then I wish you a safe journey, Lord Bai!"

Bai Chi clasped his fists and said, "Farewell!"

After seeing him off, Huang Ming could no longer wait and pulled Su Mo to ask about the illness.

The two were so engrossed in conversation that they didn't notice Yue Ying, Fei Yan, and Mo Xiao following Bai Chi's departing figure.

"GeneralBaiChi, please wait!"

Bai Chi's steps halted, and he looked back at the three with puzzlement, "May I ask, how did you three learn of my identity?"

It seemed he had never mentioned that he was a Tiger Clan commander.

Mo Xiao calmly recounted, in a few words, the recent battle he had with Jin Tong.

Bai Chi's face showed surprise, "You mean Tian Huan sent people to take revenge on me?"

Mo Xiao nodded.

Bai Chi frowned, "He's indeed a bit reckless. That Jin Tong's combat power is extraordinary, and he excels at poison; the last time I was severely wounded and fell here because I was poisoned by him."

Mo Xiao added, "We had originally agreed that after rescuing Wife Master we would go to the Tiger Tribe to thank you in person. Please ask General Bai to convey to General Tian Huan that on an auspicious day Mo Xiao will personally visit to express deep gratitude."

"Snake Young Master, you're being modest, but we still warmly welcome you to visit the Tiger Tribe as guests!"

"General Bai…" Yue Ying began, then stopped; he had intended to ask Bai Chi about the herbs.

He thought it over and decided against it.

Although Wife Master saved this person's life, one must still be wary of people's hearts.

It won't be too early to investigate once they go to the Tiger Tribe in person.

Yue Ying smiled faintly and changed his words, "Safe travels!"

After bidding them farewell, Bai Chi flickered away and vanished at the village entrance.

Fei Yan furrowed his brows, "It seems we need to go to the Tiger Tribe Tribe quickly."

Yue Ying knit his brows, "Should we bring Wife Master on this trip?"

Fei Yan furrowed his brows, "Mo Xiao and I will go, and we'll inform her later once the herbs make progress."
