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

Chapter 22 022 Rivals Stare at Each Other, Their Eyes Filled with Resentment

The clan chief looked at Su Mo with a kind smile.

"Thanks to you for discovering what happened yesterday, otherwise that witch doctor and his disciple would have really deceived everyone."

Su Mo smiled modestly and said, "It was just luck."

"I heard that you've recently been treating the beastmen in the village, and everyone is praising your medical skills."

Su Mo awkwardly forced a smile: "I learned a little bit of the skills a few days ago, and everyone's questions are all minor ones."

The clan chief smiled and said, "It's a good habit to love learning. Now that the shaman and his eldest disciple Qingshan have died suddenly in prison, the position of shaman is vacant. In the days to come, if anyone feels unwell, I'm afraid we'll still have to trouble you."

Su Mo squinted, her tone humble: "If I can help, I will definitely do my best."

[The witch doctor and Aoyama are both dead? They died way too quickly! This isn't the original ending. Why didn't Aoyama survive to the end? He died before even seeing the female lead? Something's not right… Could it be a faked death?!]

The three people sitting to the side, including Yueying, remained expressionless, but they had already heard Su Mo's thoughts.

The three exchanged glances, having already conveyed their message.

The chieftain then asked Su Mo with a smile, "The position of witch doctor is currently vacant, and there isn't a suitable candidate in the tribe to take on this important task. I wonder what you, Xiao Mo, could do..."

[Is this old man trying to make me his slave? I certainly don't want to be some kind of old witch doctor; I just want to sleep until noon every day, I don't want to live that miserable nine-to-ten life again!]

Su Mo interrupted in time: "Ah, right! We need to find someone to fill the position of witch doctor as soon as possible! I remember that the former witch doctor had more than one disciple, Qingshan, right?"

[While that witch doctor and Qingshan aren't exactly good people, that doesn't mean all their apprentices are bad. We can select one with potential and train them, having them help the tribe with minor ailments.]

Sensing that Su Mo had no interest in the position of witch doctor, the clan chief swallowed his words, and the conversation fell silent.

Fei Yan said, "Yes, I remember that the orc Huang Ming was also a disciple of the witch doctor. He was very diligent and had a strong interest in studying medicine."

The clan chief stroked his beard and looked at Fei Yan: "Does the High Priest mean that he will temporarily take over the position of witch doctor?"

“That’s certainly possible. Of course, if there’s anything he can’t handle, he can come to me, and my wife and I will work together with him to solve it.”

Yueying and Moxiao added, "We will also work with the wife and the new witch doctor to solve the problem."

Su Mo: "..."

[Why do I feel like those three were doing it on purpose? Deliberately calling me "Mistress" in front of the clan leader, just to make me feel awkward about breaking off the engagement?!]

The clan chief nodded: "I'll trouble the high priest to tell Huang Ming later."

After saying that, the clan leader glanced meaningfully at the three of them. He should have heard correctly; they had indeed called her "wife".

Their tribe's high priest, the snake lord, and the fox immortal lord, who have always been aloof and arrogant, have they never looked down on Su Mo, a female?

What, you're already calling each other that before you're even married?

They were all male orcs, and the chieftain could see through their undisguised possessiveness at a glance.

In just a short period of time, Su Mo changed the opinions of the youngest orcs in the tribe.
It seems this female is quite capable.

The chieftain's deep gaze swept over the three orcs standing on the other side, where his good nephew, the wolf-orc 'Flying Cloud', was looking at him expectantly.

Because of what happened last night, Feiyun had a good impression of Su Mo and came to beg her early this morning, calling Su Mo over to try and gauge her opinion.

The clan chief reasoned that it couldn't be too obvious, otherwise it would appear that he was abusing his power.

So he called the two of them over, saying that if Su Mo liked them, she could take them both home. That's how females are when looking for husbands; one is never too few, and ten are never too many.

Thinking about this, the clan chief said, "Xiao Mo, your marriage has been arranged for a long time, and now that you've reached the age for marriage, it's time to put the wedding on the agenda."

Su Mo narrowed her eyes and began her performance: "Didn't I make a fool of myself a while ago, causing my fiancés to suffer cold looks because of me? I feel extremely guilty. I deeply ashamed... and I also know that I am really not a good female master. If the clan leader has a suitable candidate, please feel free to help..."

"My lady is just joking again. It's all in the past now, and we don't blame you." Yueying waved her fan rapidly as she looked at Su Mo with a warm, spring-like smile.

But the scheming in his eyes was hidden deeper than anyone else's.

Ignoring Su Mo's astonished gaze, he continued with a smile, "We all know how deep your feelings are, so there's no need to feel guilty. From now on, let's work together to make our lives better; that's more important than anything else, right, clan leader?"

Fei Yan's deep eyes were fixed on Su Mo. "What Yue Ying said is true."

As for Mo Xiao, he looked at Su Mo with a smile throughout. For him now, whether the engagement was dissolved or not, the outcome would not change anything.

In this life, he can only belong to Su Mo.

His contract with her was no longer bound by that marriage certificate.

In other words, he is hers, and she is free.

Su Mo curled her lips into a smile: "You don't need to feel so wronged!"

Moonshadow revealed a charming smile: "It's sweet as honey."

The clan leader glanced at Yueying and the other two, and roughly understood.

It turns out that the one who wanted to annul the engagement wasn't one of these three people, but rather Su Mo, this little female?
interesting.

He could have easily granted Su Mo's wish with a single word. Then, he could have conveniently arranged for his good nephew to become her husband, achieving the best of both worlds.

However, the tribe is currently in dire need of manpower, and Su Mo's several orc fiancés are all outstanding orcs in the tribe, so it is really not easy to offend them.

The clan chief composed himself and smiled at Su Mo, saying, "Don't dwell on the past. People always have to look forward. Living life well is more important than anything else."

"I……"

"Hmm? Could it be that Xiao Mo'er has taken a fancy to another male beastman? You can just say so. I, the clan leader, can certainly grant your wish."

Upon hearing this, Yueying, Moxiao, and Feiyan all frowned slightly.

Moonshadow gritted her teeth: Old Deng, I knew you weren't up to any good!
The clan chief naturally guessed their thoughts, but he couldn't be bothered with them at the moment.

It's not unreasonable to not break off the engagement, but simply let Su Mo choose a few husbands she likes.

Fei Yun and the others secretly flirted with Su Mo, but unfortunately, Su Mo's mind was not on that at all.

However, Yueying and her group caught them red-handed, and the rivals glared at each other, their eyes filled with intense envy.

[That old patriarch is really trying to kill me! I can't even handle the few aunts I have now, and he actually wants me to choose a few more husbands? Does he want me to die even faster?]

[While I enjoy reading short posts and looking at handsome guys, I really don't have that much of an appetite...]

"Don't be shy, be bold. Females have the right to choose their husbands. As long as you like someone, you can bring them home! You're still young, so the more husbands you have, the better!"

The three people sitting next to her, Fei Yan, were practically grinding their back teeth to powder.

That old patriarch, Deng, truly deserves to be called the number one troublemaker!
