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

Chapter 40040: Coming to Find His Wife
When Longyan brought Su Mo back to the tribe, the tribe members were frantically searching for him.

The two attendants of the major general were also missing, and the people in the tribe felt that they were most likely dead this time.

The strategist knew this matter must be related to a traitor within the clan, but after investigating for so long, he found nothing.

Moreover, his subordinates began to have objections. After all, the position of major general cannot remain vacant for long, and a suitable candidate must be chosen to succeed him.

The group discussed whether they should hold a funeral for the major general...

This will give the people in the tribe an explanation, and then it will be natural to elect the next major general.

The strategist pondered for two days and adopted this suggestion.

The funeral is already being prepared and is scheduled for tomorrow.

The elderly strategist prepared some of Longyan's favorite foods and weapons while wiping away tears, heartbroken, as he prepared to read his eulogy.

After glancing at the Major General's most cherished possessions in the coffin, the strategist was overcome with tears.

"My poor Major General, how could you abandon your people and leave this world like this?"

"Your illustrious name has faded, and today your soul returns to Longyuan. We are heartbroken. Remember to come back and visit us often! The tribe cannot be without a leader, so we have no choice but to..."

The strategist was crying his heart out when he heard footsteps outside.

Everyone turned to look and saw the person who had been missing for many days returning, looking travel-worn.

The entire audience gasped, their faces filled with horror.

No way, the Major General's spirit has really returned?!
The strategist's sharp tongue is incredibly accurate!

Everyone began to tremble with fear until Long Yan walked straight to the strategist's side.

As soon as he arrived at the tribe, he saw white flags hanging everywhere. He thought that the strategist had passed away due to old age, and his heart was heavy.

But now, looking at the strategist standing perfectly fine in front of him, Long Yan fell silent.

The two little dragon cubs following behind also looked bewildered.

Longyan frowned as he looked at the strategist who was crying bitterly and asked, "Who exactly died?"

The familiar voice startled the strategist.

He turned his head to look at the person in front of him, and his pupils dilated instantly.

A dead body?!

"Are you a human or... a ghost?"

Before he could finish saying the last word, the strategist saw Su Mo, who had entered with the major general.

He recognized the girl at a glance; she wasn't a female from their tribe.

Nan Nan reached out and tugged at the strategist's trouser leg, asking, "Grandpa Strategist, who exactly died?"

"Uh~" The strategist was, after all, an old dragon beastman who had seen many storms.

He was the first to react, quietly tucking the eulogy into his sleeve.

An awkward explanation: "It's nothing... an old orc died."

Longyan, unsuspecting, nodded and looked at the offerings on the table.

Strange, this elderly orc has similar tastes to him; the offerings are all his favorite foods.

Before he could examine it closely, the strategist grabbed him, saying, "The Major General has been away for a long time, and there are still many matters in the clan that need to be dealt with. Please come with me!"

After saying that, he turned to his subordinates who were still standing there dumbfounded and said, "The funeral... is almost over, hurry up and leave!"

"Oh, oh!" Everyone realized what was happening and hurriedly began to clean up the scene.

Su Mo glanced at those things and understood.

She smiled, her eyes narrowing. She had come at just the right time; otherwise, she would have missed this good show.

The dragon's subordinates are quite interesting.

Long Yan took a few steps, then called out to Su Mo, gesturing for her to come with him. In his study, the strategist inquired about the ins and outs of recent days.

Upon learning that it was Su Mo who saved Long Yan, the old strategist saluted Su Mo.

He said respectfully, "Thank you, Miss Su, for taking care of the Major General these past few days."

Su Mo smiled and said, "It's nothing, strategist, you're too kind."

Upon hearing this, the strategist frowned slightly. Based on the major general's description, the injury he had sustained was no minor one.

Even if he had returned to the clan in time that day, he might not have fully recovered, or recovered so quickly.

But this girl, who looks incredibly thin, actually said that this kind of injury is a minor matter?
Seeing that the strategist seemed about to say something to Long Yan, Su Mo quickly said, "You two talk first, I'm going out for a walk."

After Su Mo left, the strategist said to Long Yan, "There is a traitor in the tribe. Your injury this time is definitely related to this matter. I suspect that someone colluded with people from other tribes to cause you to suffer such a serious injury."

Longyan nodded. After the strategist's analysis, he seemed to have a better understanding of the situation.

Although he was injured in the Northern Wing tribe, his opponents were familiar with his moves, so they were probably acquaintances.

"Your safe return this time is thanks to the blessings of the gods, but we must find the traitor behind us."

The strategist and Longyan whispered to each other for a while, and then they talked about Su Mo.

"Is that Miss Su reliable?" After all, the strategist was still somewhat uneasy about people from other tribes.

Longyan laughed and said, "She's reliable. Strategist, there's no need to be wary of her."

Seeing how resolute Major General Longyan was, the strategist stroked his beard, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes.

I never expected that Miss Su, who looks so ordinary, could gain the trust of the Major General in such a short time.

As the clan's strategist, he still had to be careful.

After all, the northern wing is actually a competitive area with their dragon clan.

In recent years, people from each tribe have been secretly competing to gain more hilltops for their people.

However, since Su Mo had saved the Major General, she still had to treat him with courtesy.

The strategist stroked his beard and said, "I'll have someone arrange some good wine and food to properly entertain Miss Su later."

After finishing their business, the strategist and Longyan came out of the study.

The two little dragon cubs were chatting with Su Mo, talking about interesting things in Longyan.

Su Mo rested her chin on her hand, smiling with her eyes crinkling. So that dragon really is a bit of a roughneck in life.
However, it sounds like he has exceptional combat skills.

As Nan Nan was talking happily, the strategist and Long Yan walked over.

Having overheard some of what Nan Nan had said earlier, Long Yan felt a little embarrassed.

The strategist greeted Su Mo politely and then went to arrange dinner.

Longyan suggested taking Sumo to visit the tribe.

Meanwhile, outside the Dragon Clan tribe, Fei Yan, Yue Ying, and Mo Xiao had already arrived at the tribe's entrance.

Seeing their unfriendly expressions, the guards stopped them.

"Who is coming?"

Yueying frowned and said, "People of the Northern Wing Tribe, Yueying, Feiyan, and Moxiao have come looking for their wives! Your Major General has abducted our Lady!"

Mo Xiao, his face grim, pulled out a piece of drawing paper, on which was a portrait of Su Mo.

Upon hearing this, the guard was taken aback. The major general had indeed brought back a woman.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be exactly the same as the woman on this piece of paper.

What's the matter?

Seeing that they did not react, Mo Xiao said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and go in to report. If the three of us break in and it becomes known to everyone, I'm afraid your Major General will lose face!"
