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

Chapter 16 016 Mo Xiao's Heat Period
Because of word-of-mouth recommendations from the patients she had treated, the villagers' opinion of Su Mo changed.

Now, if anyone has a minor headache or fever, they just go to Su Mo for treatment, and the best part is that she doesn't even ask for a consultation fee.

When Su Mo woke up from her nap, eight or nine people had gathered in the courtyard.

The one leading them was the old woman who was holding her grandson yesterday evening.

She handed Su Mo a pheasant: "Thank you so much for yesterday! My grandson's fever broke in the middle of the night! If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't know what to do! We don't have much at home, so please don't mind!"

"Auntie, this is unacceptable!"

"Alright! Alright! You didn't charge me any consultation fee yesterday! This little bit is nothing! You keep it, I'm going back."

After saying that, she dropped her things and left.

Su Mo originally wanted to chase after them, but seeing the people waiting in the courtyard, she decided against it.

By the time I finished seeing several patients, it was already evening.

Su Mo then realized that her beastman fiancés hadn't shown up for quite some time.

Could it be that he's come to his senses and left on his own? That would be wonderful!
She's already accumulated 540 points in the mall. Now, as long as she dumps those orc fiancés, her life will be incredibly carefree!
Thinking of the bright and promising future, Su Mo felt happy.

After resting for a while, she went to check on the pheasant, which turned out to be a hen that could lay eggs.

I decided not to make it into 'Kung Pao Chicken' yet, but to let it live a little longer.

Su Mo went to find some branches and vines to make a chicken coop.

Halfway through, they heard rustling footsteps outside.

Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, and Yue Ying returned from outside.

It looks like they went hunting and brought back some wild vegetables and game.

There are rabbits, birds, and some sweet potatoes, mushrooms, wood ear fungus, sweet potatoes, and the like.

Su Mo frowned. [These plague carriers haven't left?! Could they really have been won over by my cooking? That won't do. Maybe... I should put some laxatives in their food tonight?]

Yueying put down her things and came over, feigning ignorance, "What are you thinking about, my lady? You seem so engrossed."

"Ah~ I was just worrying about dinner tonight, and then you guys came back with stuff..."

Fei Yan: "My wife must be exhausted these past two days. Why don't we prepare dinner?"

Yueying squinted: "That's right, what if the mistress gets so tired that her eyes go blurry and she puts the wrong thing in the pot? That wouldn't be good~"

"..."

[I only thought about it for a moment, and they found out so quickly? Does that sly fox really have mind-reading abilities? Then they can't be allowed to live any longer! How can I get them out of here as soon as possible?!]

[Oh right! Didn't that villager say the chieftain is coming back tonight, and there'll be a bonfire party after dinner? I might as well take this opportunity to see if I can get the chieftain to dissolve the marriage! Maybe I can even find some other suitable beastmen! How clever of me~]

"..."

The three exchanged a silent glance.

Fei Yan spoke up: "My lady, shouldn't we change Mo Xiao's medicine?"

Su Mo snapped out of her daze and glanced at Mo Xiao standing behind her.

[Strange, why does this snake look so weird? And the fox's expression is off too... Could they be plotting against me?]

"Good work."

Mo Xiao said something and walked into the house.

Su Mo snapped out of her daze and followed them inside.

Mo Xiao took off his shirt, revealing his lean upper body with well-defined lines.

Su Mo glanced at it casually, then couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't get a good look yesterday, but that stinky snake's muscles are so much smoother than they were a few days ago. Did he secretly go to the gym? That's more like it! A proper beastmaster needs to maintain a perfect physique at all times!"

Mo Xiao froze, instinctively sitting up straight. 'Fitness'? Could it be referring to his sword practice that morning?

If he doesn't get injured, he practices almost every day.

Actually, he's in a vulnerable period right now, so he might look a little weak. He'll be in better shape after this period is over.

However, Mo Xiao couldn't explain these things to Su Mo.

Su Mo carefully removed the gauze wrapped around his body, then gently touched his wound.

"Thankfully, there's no more bleeding. However, the wound is quite deep, and it will take some time to heal."

Her soft fingertips gently traced the area around his wound. Mo Xiao felt no pain, only a slight itch.
Su Mo was focused on treating his wounds when, as she turned around, a stray hair brushed against Mo Xiao's chest and cheek.

He was suddenly stunned, feeling as if his nostrils were filled with her light and pleasant fragrance.

This made Mo Xiao inexplicably flustered.

In the past, when Su Mo got close, he only felt disgust, but now... he couldn't help but feel joy, and even a little bit of anticipation.

What's going on? She's still the same female as before, so why does she feel completely different?
Is it because he's close to his estrus cycle, so he can't resist being touched by a female?
Mo Xiao thought uncertainly.

After Su Mo applied the medicine, she re-bandaged him.

He instructed, "Avoid any strenuous exercise recently to prevent the wound from reopening. Also, if your heat cycle is approaching, it's best to try to avoid it."

"Because the wound is quite deep, shedding your skin at this time is not good for you. Your snake clan should have inhibitors, right? You can prepare some in advance."

Su Mo knew that male beastmen couldn't find female mates as soon as they reached adulthood, so each tribe would research some inhibitors to alleviate the problem for beastmen without female masters.

Generally, these kinds of things are quite effective, and higher-level orcs can actually suppress their emotions without relying on these inhibitors.

Su Mo felt that controlling the estrus cycle shouldn't be a problem for Mo Xiao, the snake.

Mo Xiao nodded: "Understood."

After Su Mo finished speaking, she took the dirty gauze that had been removed and went out. Mo Xiao looked down at the faint black scales that were visible on his chest.

Actually, the last time Su Mo gave him that kind of medicine in the grove, he was already in heat.

He was about to explode, but Su Mo gave him a pill, and with his own strength, he managed to suppress it.

However, for some reason these past two days... there seems to be a resurgence of these signs.

When Su Mo went out, Yueying had already helped her set up the chicken coop.

Scarlet Flame was also preparing lunch.

The two little dragon cubs had been playing all day and were now coming over to help.

Seeing their dirty appearance, Su Mo wrung out a towel, walked over with a smile, and helped them clean themselves up.

Nan Nan asked expectantly, "Sister Mo, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Mmm, potato pancakes~ braised rabbit~ stir-fried wild vegetables with shredded pork~ meatball soup~ mushroom stew~"

The two little dragon cubs were already drooling just from hearing the names of the dishes.

Looking at their adorable faces, Su Mo narrowed her eyes and said, "After dinner, I'll take you to a fun place!"

"Okay, okay!"

The little dragon cubs jumped around happily on the spot.

Su Mo was already planning in her mind how to tell the clan chief about dissolving the marriage that evening.

Yueying walked over and exchanged glances with Moxiao and Feiyan, each with their own thoughts.
