Their true feelings revealed: the beastly husbands are working themselves to the bone every night.

Chapter 12 012 The Position of the Right Husband
Su Mo's first patient was the old lady's grandson.

She felt the little beastman's pulse and then gently tapped the child's chest.

He frowned and asked, "Did you catch a cold a few days ago? Have you been coughing for a few days?"

"Five days!"

"You haven't taken your medicine for the past few days?"

"The witch doctor prescribed some medicine earlier, and he improved, but his condition suddenly worsened again this morning."

"Did you give him a bath?"

The old lady nodded and said, "Yes!"

Su Mo frowned: "His condition has worsened and is recurring. I'll prescribe some medicine for you; go find it in the mountains. Take it back, decoct it, and give it to him several times a day. If his fever is still high at night, remember to come back to me. Wipe his body with warm water frequently."

"Okay, thank you, Su Mo!"

"go quickly!"

Su Mo's next patient was someone with a stomachache, which was not a difficult task for her.

The next patient was injured while hunting; the wound was slightly inflamed, but it was a minor matter.

She was incredibly quick at treating patients; soon, she had seen most of the people outside.

Finally, it was Mo Xiao's turn.

Su Mo called the person to the room. Fei Yan brought water, and Mo Xiao took off his shirt, revealing the wound on his left shoulder.

The wound is a bit deep. First, we need to clean the dirt off the wound, then disinfect it to stop the bleeding, and then stitch it up.

With the system's support, Su Mo's hands became very skilled at these tasks.

Before cleaning, she applied a small amount of datura flower extract to the wound.

The dosage was well controlled, so Mo Xiao felt almost no pain throughout the entire process.

While treating his wounds, Su Mo instructed Yueying and Feiyan to prepare dinner ingredients.

By the time she finished treating Mo Xiao's wounds, Yueying and Feiyan were already ready.

Mo Xiao finished putting on his clothes and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Don't get your wound wet when you get back. You'll need to change the dressing for the next few days. You can ask someone in the clan for help."

Before Su Mo could finish speaking, Mo Xiao said, "I'll come again tomorrow."

"Actually... I've already treated the wound. If you don't want to come, you don't have to."

Mo Xiao seemed not to understand the meaning behind her words at all: "Thank you for your help."

Su Mo: "..."

[What's going on? Can't someone finish what they're saying? Isn't he the last person who wants to see me? Why not just have someone from the clan handle it?!]

A hint of unease flashed across Mo Xiao's face, and he coughed lightly.

Yueying smiled and said, "Young Master Snake's injury has already been treated by my wife. As for changing the dressing, perhaps we should have someone else do it..."

“The wound is too deep. The best course of action is for him to come to his wife every day to change the dressing and check on the healing process.” Fei Yan looked at Yue Ying with a deep gaze.

Then he said to Mo Xiao, "I think you should stay here. If anything happens, it will be easier for the mistress to handle it."

"!!!"

Su Mo was stunned.

[What is that free-range chicken, Scarlet Flame, thinking? It's one thing for him to refuse to leave, but now he wants to leave this snake here too? Who's the head of the household here?! Who gave him the right to overstep his bounds?!]

No, no, I absolutely cannot let them hold an animal convention here! What if they really conspired to harm me? I wouldn't even have a chance to fight back!

"..."

Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, and Yue Ying exchanged a glance.

They looked like vicious, wicked men who wanted to murder their wives.
Could this be the reason why the wife was so determined to annul the engagement?!
Su Mo turned her gaze to Mo Xiao, awkwardly forcing a smile: "My place is small, you should go first..."

Mo Xiao interrupted in time: "I'll just stay next to Fei Yan."

Fei Yan: "Hmm, I can help my wife take care of him." Su Mo's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg. [What the hell? I let him stay, and he's just going to stay like this?! Can't they even listen to my thoughts?!]

Su Mo frowned. "Let's not. It's not very safe here. There was a burglary a couple of days ago..."

Mo Xiao: "It's alright. Even though I'm injured, I can still handle a few thieves without any problem."

Fei Yan: "My lady, please don't worry anymore. It is precisely because of the insecurity that we, as your fiancés, must stay and take care of your safety."

Su Mo: "...Whatever makes you happy!"

She gritted her teeth, turned around, and walked out.

Yueying waved the feather fan in her hand, looked at Moxiao and chuckled softly, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

When the engagement was called off, this snake was the one who caused the most trouble. He thought that the snake was really determined and would break off the engagement.

Unexpectedly, ha, it's nothing special.

They say he's a shameless fox, but how are their methods any better than his?
Fei Yan squinted at Yue Ying and warned, "The wife belongs to everyone. Keep your little schemes to yourself."

"Don't speak so soon. It's not certain who will marry her in the end!" Yueying said with a smirk. "We agreed that whoever enters the door first will be the official husband. Don't forget that."

Upon hearing this, Fei Yan and Mo Xiao frowned slightly.

Originally, it was decided that Mo Xiao would enter the sect first, and the position of the principal wife would undoubtedly belong to him. Next would be Fei Yan, Yue Ying, Ye Yuan, and Cang Lan.

Now, they all know that Su Mo is most repulsed by Mo Xiao, and he is basically out of the running for the position of the main husband.

Ye Yuan and Cang Lan were busy dealing with their respective family affairs and couldn't pay attention to this place for the time being, leaving only him and Fei Yan, that bird.

Yueying felt that he could certainly compete for it!

Anyway, it's impossible to dominate now, but competing for status is fine too!
At this moment, Su Mo was cooking in the kitchen while chatting with Xiao Jiu.

I gained 120 points because I helped a group of strangers last night.

Another wave is Mo Xiao's favorability rating. He is currently at -50, but he gained a full 30 points in one night.

Because the increase was too rapid, the system awarded an extra fifty points.

We still owe the system's shopping mall 181 points.

Xiao Jiu exclaimed excitedly, "Host, at this rate, you'll soon be able to pay off your mall points. Once Mo Xiao and Long Yan are fully healed, you'll get a huge wave of points, and then you can go on a shopping spree in the mall!"

"Um……"

Su Mo responded weakly.

Xiao Jiu: "Host, why are you unhappy?"

"What's there to be happy about? The faster the villains' favorability ratings rise, the harder it will be to annul this engagement!"

This is not a good thing for her. She is just an ordinary, cannon fodder character who only wants to live out the rest of her life in peace in this world. She doesn't want to go through life-and-death struggles with the villains...

Su Mo looked up to the sky and sighed, "Tell me, what exactly do I have to do to get them to call off the engagement?!"

"Please forgive me, Xiao Jiu is powerless to help..."

【Ugh! How can I possibly get rid of those major villains?!】

The three people outside, who were about to enter, paused in their steps. The big villain?
Is the wife referring to them?
Mo Xiao frowned; this was the second time he had heard this word.

What exactly does that mean?
Soon the three arrived at a small grove of trees. Fei Yan took out the book 'God's Prophecy' and found a note.

The main villain, as the name suggests, is a wicked person who commits all sorts of evil deeds. They are the antagonist in a story and the protagonist's strongest nemesis. They are usually also the most detestable characters.

After reading it, the three fell silent.

So the wife is now determined to break off the engagement because she thinks they are bad people?!

Mo Xiao frowned and asked, "What exactly is the nature of her medical skills?"

Even if a witch doctor were to treat his injuries today, they might not be able to handle them as well.

Fei Yan frowned, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "There is no detailed explanation in the book. Perhaps she has awakened a superpower that we are unaware of."

Mo Xiao and Yue Ying nodded, also thinking that this was very likely.
