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

Chapter 36 036 Each one more dramatic than the last

When Fei Yan and Su Mo arrived home, Yue Ying and Mo Xiao were already there.

Seeing them return, Yueying walked over, fanning herself with her fan.

"Oh, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, I was about to go out and put up missing person notices."

Su Mo glanced at the fox with its strange expression and thought to herself, "What's wrong with him now?"

She couldn't be bothered with him and turned to go inside.

I need to ask Xiao Jiu why the super sedative from the lab didn't work on that orc.

Fei Yan stood there and explained to them why she hadn't returned home all night.

Yueying frowned and said, "You actually took her to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion? Don't you know what kind of person my wife is? She dares to take her anywhere!"

Fei Yan frowned and said, "She was just curious and went in to take a look."

"Hmph!" Yueying fanned herself extremely fast with her fan.

Although he thought his appearance was not bad, he couldn't resist the fact that there were many beastmen in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. Who knew that his wife's heart might be bewitched by some damned little vixen.

"If she saw it, why didn't she go home in time?"

"She got drunk and later stayed in a private room at Baihuage."

"You actually let her drink?!"

Yueying practically gritted her teeth: "You free-range chicken, what are you up to!"

Fei Yan glanced at him indifferently, too lazy to explain further.

He simply told Mo Xiao, "On the way back with my wife, we encountered assassins. The assassins were of a higher level than me and managed to evade the sleeping potion my wife had developed."

Mo Xiao nodded and asked about the person's physical characteristics.
They didn't inquire much about Fei Yan and his wife staying overnight at Baihua Pavilion.

Given Fei Yan's personality, if something were to happen between the two of them, the next step would probably be to arrange their marriage.

Mo Xiao observed that Fei Yan's expression remained normal, suggesting that things hadn't reached the point Yue Ying was considering.

The wife is quite lively and loves to play. She's at that age where she's curious about everything, and even if Fei Yan wanted to stop her, she couldn't.

Since he had already made up his mind to choose her as his wife, he had to accept her nature.

If we keep her in check, I'm afraid her desire to replace her will only intensify.

"Baihua Pavilion will be the main source of information for the female lead in the later stages of the story. I inquired this morning, and the current owner is probably not the female lead yet; it's a branch of a business owned by someone in the county. It would be best if we could take it over as soon as possible."

"The reason why the mistress is unwilling to accept us is because of our villainous roles in the book. In that case, let's use her inner voice to eliminate any people or things that might turn us into villains in advance."

Yueying paused in her fanning herself, "I'll make the arrangements this afternoon."

Since Baihua Pavilion is the main source of information for the female protagonist in the later stages, let's take over that shop now and make it their territory!

As for the funds to acquire Baihua Pavilion, only Yueying could provide them.

Mo Xiao is the young master of the Snake Clan and has no shortage of funds, but since that money is not his personal asset, it is inconvenient for him to use it.

Although Fei Yan is the High Priest, the High Priest's monthly salary is not high.

He wasn't particularly interested in material possessions like money before, so in terms of assets, Yueying was the richest of the three.

After all, he controlled the black market, which was a relatively lucrative place.

Mo Xiao frowned and said, "If that's not enough, you can go find the mermaid Ye Yuan."

Ye Yuan, who controls a region of the sea, must have some kind of treasury.

Yueying waved her fan and said, "No need. Taking over a shop is not difficult for me. Isn't that guy dealing with family matters? He probably can't spare the time."

Of her five fiancés, only Yueyuan and Canglan haven't had much contact with the female lead yet.

In her heart, Yueying hoped that the two of them would take the initiative to break off their engagement.

As for rivals in love, the fewer the better, otherwise they'll fight tooth and nail after marriage.

Yueying waved her fan suspiciously and said, "Were the people chasing you today the female lead's men?"

“No way. We don’t even know who the female lead is yet. The other party shouldn’t be able to find us so quickly, and besides, that person is seriously injured. The person who could injure him must be above the level of the five of us.” Mo Xiao frowned: “I’ll have someone investigate later.”

He seemed to remember something: "We also need to keep a close eye on the situation with the tiger-beastmen."

After all, it's still uncertain whether that tiger-beastman is actually from the female lead's side.

"The situation on the Dragon Clan's side has been quite unstable lately. Judging from the current situation, it seems that someone is trying to stir up trouble among the three tribes and take the opportunity to create some disturbance."

Mo Xiao continued his analysis: "There are some things we can't be too passive about; we need to plan ahead."

“We can move around well in our own tribe, but in other tribes…” Yueying hadn’t finished speaking when she suddenly thought of something.

His meaningful gaze drifted into the room.

Fei Yan frowned: "I wonder how much longer this dragon general is going to sleep."

Su Mo returned to her room and planted the herbs she had dug up on the mountain in the spiritual spring space.

Then harvest all the ripe ones, sell what can be sold, and make pills from what can be made.

Now that the space and laboratory have been expanded, this is a good thing for her.

"Xiao Jiu, why didn't my sleeping potion work on that masked beastman?"

"Perhaps it's because the laboratory level is not high enough, and the current level of sleeping potions is ineffective against orcs of his level. However, host, the sleeping potions, poisons, and self-defense products produced by the system laboratory are now enough for you to take down eighty percent of the orcs in the beast world."

Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "So that means he's outside of that 80%~ Do you know what role he plays?"

"Sorry, Xiao Jiu is only responsible for helping the host survive better in this world; she doesn't participate in the plot."

Su Mo raised an eyebrow and deliberately said, "Tell me, what use are you to me? Other people's systems can fly to the heavens and dive into the earth, but what about yours? You know nothing. We're both systems, so why is there such a huge difference? I want to change my system!!!"

Xiao Jiu: "Waaah... I've been rejected by my host. I'm going into seclusion to write my will now."

Su Mo: "..."

Why are all the people around her acting so dramatic lately?!

Xiao Jiu: "This system may not be able to fly or dive, but it can certainly make you feel good while eating! How about I give you a packet of hot pot base?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "Then give me some more beef rolls, lamb rolls, shrimp paste, glass noodles... and sauce! RIO, give me a whole case!"

Xiao Jiu: "...You're pushing your luck."

"Hmph, I think you're just not very capable. Sigh~ Why is my life so miserable~~~ I'm going to complain about you to the System Administration Bureau!"

With a few "thump thump thump" sounds, a pile of things fell in front of Su Mo.

The resentful voice of Xiao Jiu echoed in my mind: "I must have owed you something in my past life..."

He's a system, yet he's being led by the nose by his host. How will he ever be able to face anyone in the system world if word gets out?
Su Mo smiled with narrowed eyes. It felt so good to be able to get something for nothing without spending any points!

Holding the things, I prepared to go out and make lunch.

Fei Yan and the others were no longer particularly surprised by the strange and unusual things Su Mo had taken out.

The two little dragon cubs didn't bother to think about where these things came from; all they knew was that whatever Sister Mo took out must be extremely delicious!
Before lunch, Su Mo had the two little dragon cubs bring some meat to the black cat.

But the black cat was curled up in the corner, motionless, seemingly fast asleep.

The two little dragon cubs thought it was going to die, so they called Su Mo over to take a look.

Su Mo reached out and grabbed his neck, lifted him up to examine him for a while, then squinted and said, "Alive."

Then I casually tossed him back into his den, squatted down, and petted him without any hesitation.

The cat, lying in its cat bed, furrowed its brows and suddenly opened its deep blue eyes to look at the person opposite it.

That damn female!
Su Mo squinted and gave his head another good rub.

Then, satisfied, he got up and left.

I love the look on his face when he can't stand her but can't get rid of her!
It's just a cat, why does it have such a big temper? She's determined not to do what he wants, let's see what he does.
