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

Chapter 49 049 I'll sleep with you tonight
Ye Yuan's light blue pupils gradually brightened. It seemed that his wife didn't dislike him?

Yueying, standing beside him, glanced displeasedly at Su Mo in his arms. What a fickle woman!

What is it about his face that makes him inferior to that stinky fish?
The hand around Su Mo's waist tightened uncontrollably.

Su Mo sensed something was wrong and glanced at him, only to see the fox smiling gently.

"Does my wife now feel that having us beastly husbands is an immense blessing?"

Su Mo instinctively shuddered, then struggled to break free from his grip.

That damned fox, taking advantage of me again!

[What kind of joke is he talking about? No matter how handsome they are, it doesn't change the fact that they're villains! I'm not that kind of person who's blinded by love! There are plenty of good husbands out there, but I absolutely cannot have a villain...]

Su Mo looked up and saw Yueying gritting her teeth, looking at her with a half-smile.

He'll be furious with this heartless brat sooner or later!

Canglan listened with a forlorn expression. What was this "villain" thing? Did his wife look down on him?

Ye Yuan, on the other side, looked even more hurt.

Her light blue pupils were brimming with tears, and she looked at Su Mo with a pitiful expression, as if she was about to shed tears at any moment.

[That's strange, why are those three people suddenly giving me that weird look? I didn't say anything! What's going on?]

Is this fish about to cry? He looks so pitiful, I really want to make him cry right now. It would be so much more interesting if he cried! No, no, this thought is a bit wicked! Stop! He's the villain, you know. If I make him cry, he could turn around and kill me...

Ye Yuan pursed his handsome lips, tears welling up in his eyes... It seemed his wife really didn't want him.

As the most handsome mermaid in the ocean, he suffered a tremendous blow...

I'm about to cry, I really want to cry.

But the elders in the family said that a beastman should not shed tears easily... Ye Yuan bit his lip, trying hard to hold back his tears.

Su Mo stared at him intently, a strange sense of anticipation creeping in.

[I heard that mermaid tears turn into pearls? If that's true, after breaking off my engagement, I'll find a merman beast husband and sell his pearls for money—wouldn't that be wonderful!]

"Pat-pat-pat..."

Ye Yuan could no longer control himself, and tears streamed down his face, instantly turning into tiny, round, white pearls that fell to the ground.

Ye Yuan felt extremely wronged. Did his wife really despise him?
Su Mo's eyes widened as she stared incredulously at the tiny pearls on the ground.

[Mermaid tears really do turn into pearls?! This one is of such high quality! It could be sold for money!]

Thinking this, she squatted down and began to pick them up.

Wow, it can even cry out pink pearls! If I get these into the system's in-game store, I'll be rolling in money! I can't possibly collect them all!!!

Looking at the person in front of him, Ye Yuan's tears fell more and more. The noble mermaid prince instantly turned into a pitiful little crybaby.

From a young age, he was the most noble orc fish in the sea. When he grew up, everyone said that he would definitely marry a wife who would cherish him.

But... but he was actually disliked by his wife, and disliked so thoroughly.

Even his tears were more important to his wife than he, her beastly husband.

Uh...

Ye Yuan became even more depressed; his fish heart was completely broken.

Canglan's heart is now riddled with holes, and she has no mood to comfort Yeyuan.

Being disliked by his wife is no good thing; his self-esteem was severely damaged...

On the contrary, Yueying was waving her fan and smiling happily.

Although he sometimes disliked his wife's sharp tongue, which always managed to hurt people unintentionally, he now found it quite nice!
That fragile-hearted mermaid Ye Yuan probably hasn't seen a wife like this before; it would be good for him to experience it.

It would be even better if he could back down from the challenge.

As Su Mo picked them up, she realized something was wrong and looked up at Ye Yuan, who was squatting to the side whimpering.

Why is he crying even harder? Wait, why is he suddenly crying? Who bullied him?

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's tears stopped abruptly.

Su Mo looked at his slightly reddened eyes, blinked, and then stiffly tugged at the corners of her lips.

Pointing to the things in her arms, she asked, "You...don't mind if I take them, right?"

A mist welled up in Ye Yuan's eyes again, and it looked like he was about to shed tears.

Su Mo frowned and scolded, "Stop crying!"

Ye Yuan swallowed back the tears that were about to fall, and looked at her with a pitiful expression.

The mermaid father once said that the first priority for a beast husband is to listen to his wife.

Su Mo frowned, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Who made this little crybaby cry? Her eyes are all swollen from crying, she looks so pitiful!

Oh well, let's try to appease him.

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at her with his watery eyes.

Su Mo exchanged a pack of milk candy from the system space and then took out a few pieces.

She grabbed Ye Yuan's hand and handed it to him, smiling with narrowed eyes, "If you eat my candy, you're not allowed to cry, okay?"

Ye Yuan looked at the novel object in his palm with surprise. "Is this called milk candy?"

Seeing him staring blankly, Su Mo peeled one for him and handed it to him.

Ye Yuan reached out and took it, put it in his mouth, and then nodded with wide eyes in surprise.

Canglan frowned and held out a hand to Su Mo: "Yes."

Su Mo gave him a few more.

Seeing this, Yueying frowned and leaned closer, saying, "My lady, hey!"

Instantly, the other two expectant gazes turned towards her. Su Mo: "..."

What kind of looks are those? Are they all expecting me to feed them?!

[You damn fox, all you do is cause me trouble!!!]

Su Mo turned her head and stuffed a few unpeeled milk candies into Yueying's mouth.

Let's just shut this shameless fox up!

Yueying happily spat out what was in her mouth, then peeled one and ate it.

"What my wife feeds me is so sweet!"

"..."

Su Mo thought he was probably crazy; wasn't he just blatantly lying?
She glanced at Ye Yuan across from her and asked as gently as possible, "Is there anything else?"

[You absolutely mustn't upset this little crybaby; once she starts crying, it's endless...it's so heartbreaking.]

Ye Yuan looked at her tenderly, then handed her the package on the ground: "My wife, this is a gift I prepared for you."

Su Mo's eyes lit up, and she happily accepted it: "Oh, thank you!"

She opened the bag and glanced inside; there were top-quality coral specimens... beautiful mermaid scales...

Su Mo frowned as she stared at the pile of things. [What's going on? A bunch of junk! Why didn't you give me a super-sized luminous pearl? Stingy!]

Beside him, Yueying paused in the hand that was fanning herself.

Canglan froze as she chewed the milk candy.

A trace of sadness resurfaced in Ye Yuan's light blue pupils, and the tears that had just disappeared instantly welled up in his heart again.

That scale was his protective shield, his wife's...

Waaah, I got rejected again.

Su Mo looked up and saw Ye Yuan looking at her with tears in his eyes.

[No way, is it going to cry again? Thank goodness we didn't get married, otherwise, wouldn't I be having to comfort this little crybaby every day? Why didn't the book ever mention that this fish was a crybaby?!]

Suddenly, Ye Yuan twitched, concealing the tears welling up in his eyes.

He squinted, forcing a smile as he looked at Su Mo.

The wife doesn't like crybaby beastmen, so he shouldn't cry anymore...

Although he still wanted to cry, he could hold it in!
Su Mo sighed inwardly and took out two more milk candies from her pocket and handed them over.

She coaxed softly, "Don't cry, or I won't give you any more food~"

"Ok!"

The mermaid's previously gloomy expression instantly brightened.

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she's a little crybaby, she's actually quite easy to soothe.

She squinted and said, "If there's nothing else, you can go back now, okay?"

Ye Yuan stared at her with bright eyes and nodded.

As he was about to leave, he remembered something and said, "Next time, I'll bring my wife a luminous pearl."

Su Mo's eyes lit up: "Great, great!"

[He's a bit of a crybaby, but he's quite sensible, good fish!]

Ye Yuan walked away happily, touching the candy in his pocket, so excited he almost showed his mermaid tail.

Yueying glanced at the fish's smug back, then looked at her wife beside her, whose eyes clearly screamed "I want to get rich."

He hummed and said, "I made a promise to my wife this morning that I would do you a good deed and reward you later."

"Ok?"

Su Mo couldn't recall for a moment whether such a thing had happened.

Something's not right. The fox is definitely up to no good.

She instinctively wanted to refuse.

Yueying raised an eyebrow: "No refusing! Refusing will add ten more rewards!"

Su Mo shrank her neck and asked, "...So, what reward do you want to give me?"

[He wouldn't want Ye Yuan's luminous pearl too, would he? How dare he steal my money! I'll fight him to the death!]

Moon Shadow narrowed her long, fox-like eyes and said leisurely, "I'll sleep with you tonight."

"Oh."

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, they weren't trying to steal her luminous pearl.

Upon closer reflection, something seemed amiss.

Did he sleep with her?

Sleep?!
"Ah, that, no way!"

Before she could finish speaking, the fox pulled her into his arms and covered her mouth.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "My lady, there's no need to get so worked up. If everyone finds out, people will laugh at us."

"Don't be afraid, practice makes perfect. You'll get used to it after a while. Just keep sleeping and you'll get the hang of it."

Su Mo: "!!!"
