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

Chapter 35 035 His Hidden Identity
Su Mo glanced at Fei Yan's expression again.

What's wrong? She was blushing just now, but now she's acting like she doesn't want to be approached?

Villains are indeed unpredictable and hard to fathom! Only a fool would choose a villain as their beastly husband.

Fei Yan's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched slightly again. He still preferred his wife to be drunk; at least that way it didn't make him feel so suffocated.

Taking a deep breath, he quickly calmed himself down and went to the bedside to hand over the dress he had bought yesterday.

"Your clothes are dirty, change them before you go out to eat."

"Thank you."

Fei Yan went out on her own and closed the door behind her.

When Su Mo came out wearing that light green dress, he was standing at the door with his hands behind his back, seemingly lost in thought.

Hearing the noise, Fei Yan turned around and casually took the dirty dress from her hand. "Let's go."

As Su Mo left Baihe Pavilion, she couldn't help but look back at the entrance behind her.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt like someone was watching her.

Did the original owner have some enemies?
Su Mo shook her head. It was probably impossible. After all, in the original novel, she was just cannon fodder, appearing in only five episodes and not even part of the main storyline.

Moreover, judging from the current storyline, it's unlikely that they are Fei Yan's enemies, since they haven't turned evil yet.

He had absolutely no interaction with the female lead, so she was probably overthinking it.

Inside the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, an orc half-hidden behind the door, his dark pupils gleaming coldly, stared intently at the thin figure in front of him. The scars on his face, which had not yet completely faded, made his eyes appear even more sinister.

The orc follower beside him bowed his head and said respectfully, "Sect Master, everything is ready."

The man raised an eyebrow slightly, his face grim, and said, "Yes, proceed according to plan."

Fei Yan took her to a small restaurant on the next street.

A servant boy dressed as an orc greeted them warmly: "What would you two like to eat? Please sit down and take your time."

Su Mo still prefers to eat something light in the morning, even though it's not early, it's still her first meal.

So she only ordered a bowl of something like a mixed grain porridge, plus a plate of side dishes.

Fei Yan added a little bit of pancake to her base.

After finishing their meal and paying, the two came out.

Fei Yan asked Su Mo, "Shall we go back, or continue strolling around?"

Su Mo smiled, her eyes narrowing: "Let's stroll back!"

Fei Yan nodded and led her to another street.

Although this street wasn't as bustling as it was yesterday, there were still quite a few people around.

There were also many orcs or females selling things on both sides of the street.

There weren't many items, but they looked rarer than what was on the street yesterday.

Some of the medicinal herbs are rare on the market, as are some of the game.

The transaction method is either to give money or to exchange it for equivalent value.

However, the price was two to three times higher than Su Mo had expected.

Seeing Su Mo's puzzled look, Fei Yan explained, "This is the black market. The items traded here are generally scarce and difficult to obtain, so the prices are relatively high. Sellers wait for buyers, and buyers wait for sellers."

Su Mo nodded, indicating that she understood.

That means pricing based on market conditions.

She saw the hairpin, similar in style, that Yueying had stuck in her hair on the black market.

However, the design of the hairpin and the gemstones it was inlaid with were slightly different from his.

Someone nearby asked the price, and Su Mo overheard it.

Then, I subconsciously opened my eyes wide.

Wow, that hairpin the fox has is quite expensive. That lazy, good-for-nothing fox is really willing to spend so much!

[Wait, he seems to have a hidden identity too. What was it again?]

Su Mo couldn't recall it at the moment; she had read it too quickly that night and had only skimmed through some of the information.

Suddenly, someone walked up to Fei Yan and greeted her: "High Priestess, are you out shopping today?"

Fei Yan smiled, and then heard the man say, "I haven't seen Lord Yueying lately. I just got two good things and I was hoping to trouble him to help me deal with them!"

"I should be coming in a couple of days," Fei Yan said with a smile.

Then, meeting Su Mo's curious gaze, he explained, "Moon Shadow is in charge of managing the nearby black market."

Su Mo was taken aback, then nodded knowingly. [The black market is also a crucial source of useful clues for Mo Xiao and the other villains later on. The female lead is also quite wary of this storyline later on.]

After browsing the black market, Fei Yan bought some snacks, and the two headed towards the village.

Su Mo wanted to take a walk on the way back and enjoy the scenery, so Fei Yan went with her.

While passing through a grove of trees, she found some medicinal herbs inside.

So they squatted down and dug some out, with Fei Yan helping them.

Just as Su Mo finished digging and was about to get up, someone suddenly appeared in front of her!

The man, holding a long knife and masked, stood in front of her, and suddenly the sharp blade slashed towards her head!

Su Mo suddenly opened her eyes wide, a look of fear flashing in them.

Seriously? Someone actually wants to kill her?!
"Wife master!"

Fei Yan cried out anxiously, but he was also entangled with someone and couldn't break free at all.

At the critical moment, Su Mo took out a silver needle from her waist and flew it into the man's left eye!
Then, with a "thud," the person on the other side fell to the ground.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; thankfully, she had retrieved some self-defense weapons from the system before leaving home yesterday.

Fei Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Fei Yan had dealt with the person in front of her.

He frowned and said to her, "You go first, I'll come find you later!"

"it is good!"

Looking at his sharp moves, Su Mo felt that he probably didn't need her help.

With her mediocre skills, she wouldn't be of much help. I'd better... slip away!

After running a few steps, Su Mo turned back and called out, "Fei Yan!"

Then he pulled a purse from his waist and threw it over, saying, "Let's finish this quickly!"

After throwing away her things, she took off running outside.

Fei Yan leaped forward and caught it, then touched the contents of the pouch and immediately understood what it contained.

The masked man in black who was leading the group tried to escape to chase after Su Mo, but Fei Yan blocked his way with a single slash.

The two were evenly matched in their moves, and for a time they were unable to determine a winner.

Fei Yan was worried about Su Mo's safety, because she couldn't be sure if there were any other dangers ahead.

He had to deal with the person in front of him as soon as possible so he could go find her.

As Fei Yan took out the powder from her pouch and sprinkled it out, she held her breath.

Soon, all the people on the other side fell down.

The masked beastman in the lead also staggered, and Scarlet Flame raised her sword to stab him.

The man staggered backward and then quickly fled the scene.

After dealing with the remaining enemies on the ground, Fei Yan ultimately decided not to pursue them.

He transformed and quickly chased after Su Mo ahead.

Su Mo was out of breath from running and was squatting down to rest.

I looked up and found there was someone in front of me.

Fei Yan pulled her up from the ground and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

Su Mo shook her head, panting, and asked, "Is it... all resolved?"

Fei Yan frowned: "One got away."

"Um?"

Su Mo asked in confusion, "Who exactly is this person?"

[They managed to dodge my super-powerful sleeping potion; they must be a formidable opponent!]

Fei Yan frowned; he had actually sensed it too.

The opponent was injured, yet he was still able to fight him to a draw, which means he must be of a higher level than him.

If it weren't for his wife's drugging, he would probably have been entangled with her for a while longer.

"Let's go back first."

With a single transformation, Fei Yan hoisted Su Mo onto her back and flew out of this world.

Looking for...tickets or something~ Wishing everyone a great weekend in advance~
