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

Chapter 5 005 A Fox with Ten Clever Minds

Su Mo didn't fall asleep until late at night.

Before going to sleep, she planted the remaining herbs, mushrooms, and wild vegetables she had picked from the mountain into the spiritual spring space.

These simple plants will grow at an astonishing rate in the Spirit Spring Space.

She should be able to get something when she wakes up tomorrow morning.

Moonshadow also went to the thatched hut around the same time, but he couldn't sleep at all.

I secretly went to check on Su Mo in the middle of the night.

Su Mo's sleeping posture was quite bizarre; her slender legs were wrapped around an animal skin blanket, and she was half-hanging on the edge of the bed.

A few strands of hair fell casually, giving her an air of inexplicable languor and tenderness.

This face is really not good-looking, and it's sallow and thin, but you just can't quite put your finger on what's different about it.

As a fox-beastman, Moonshadow was more perceptive and thoughtful than ordinary beastmen. And he was certain that his premonition was correct.

As I tucked her in and prepared to leave, I heard the person on the bed mutter, "That damned fox!!! Kill him! Who wants the five animal hides... Ugh~ Three will do too!"

He couldn't help but chuckle softly. How much did she hate him? She was even dreaming about selling him off!

When Su Mo woke up the next morning, the sun was already high in the sky.

I had just opened my eyes when I heard a "ding" —

"Congratulations, host. Moonshadow's favorability has decreased by 45. The system will deduct 10 points from your debt and also prepare a kitchen seasoning gift pack for you, which has been placed in your system backpack."

Su Mo wondered in a daze, "How come the fox's favorability rating automatically increased after just one night?"
However, earning these points is really slow.

It would be faster to cure that dragon.

She threw back the covers and went out to wash up.

Then, as I was preparing to make breakfast, I lifted the pot lid and found a bowl of mixed grain porridge inside, made from cornmeal and various beans.

Su Mo frowned slightly. Was it the fox that did it?

I took a small bite, and it was alright. After all, the crops in the Beast World are not polluted, so the taste is quite good.

The texture would be even better if the powder were ground even finer.

After finishing breakfast, Su Mo washed the dishes and took out some mushrooms, wild vegetables, and bird eggs from her spatial storage.

Just then, Yueying returned from outside.

He was also carrying two fish and a piece of meat.

The man squinted his strikingly beautiful fox-like eyes and smiled, "This is our lunch today."

Su Mo thought suspiciously, "He's still here? What's he up to?"

Yueying looked at her with warm eyes and said gently, "I was not good at taking care of you before, I hope you won't mind. We will eventually live together, so it's not a bad thing to get used to it in advance, right?"

"..."

Who wants to live with you? You're a cunning fox, and I don't want to spend all my time playing mind games with you!

Yueying waved the things in her hand, smiling innocently: "If my wife really doesn't welcome me, then I'll take these things and go back first?"

[Alright, alright, for the sake of the delicious food, I'll let him stay for now. I'll deal with whatever comes my way; I'm not afraid!]

Su Mo smiled with narrowed eyes: "How could that be! Thank you for your hard work, Yueying. I'll make lunch later."

Yueying smiled and said, "It is my honor to serve my wife."

Su Mo's lips twitched. [His acting skills are almost as good as mine!]

"Could you please take care of these things for me in a bit? I need to go check on that patient."

Yueying smiled gently and obediently replied, "Okay, Momo."

The way she was addressed gave Su Mo goosebumps.

She turned and quickly fled the scene.

[This is terrifying! Is that sly fox about to go into heat? Maybe I should find a chance to get rid of him quickly!]

Moon Shadow: "..."

When Su Mo returned to her room, she saw that the two dragon cubs had already woken up.

She was staring at the big thing on the bed, sobbing softly.

"Major General Longyan, please wake up! Waaah, how did you get so badly injured?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow. "Forgive this guy for being named Long Yan?"
I remember the book said he was a dragon clan major general, not from their tribe. He didn't seem to have much screen time in the early part of the story, so how did he end up looking like this?
The other cub cried out, "Waaah! The Major General was injured like this while saving me. I should atone with my death!"

As he spoke, the little dragon boy pulled a dagger from his trouser leg, intending to commit suicide.

Su Mo stopped him: "If you just die like this, what's the point of all the injuries he suffered?"

"Waaah, but as the Major General's attendant, I let him get injured because of me. I deserve to die!"

The little brat was crying and wiping away tears; he looked so pitiful.

"Don't worry, he won't die anytime soon. Go get me some water, I want to check his injuries."

The two little ones looked at Su Mo with hopeful eyes: "Are you a witch doctor?"

"I am not, but I can save him."

Upon hearing this, the two little ones ran out like the wind and quickly brought back two basins of water.

Su Mo unbuttoned Long Yan's clothes and checked his wounds.

Thankfully, there was no bleeding.

If you keep the inflammation under control, it should recover gradually.

As for the poison in his body, it seems to have been temporarily suppressed and has not spread to his heart.

Su Mo never expected that her blood could actually fight poison with poison.

After applying the medicine to Longyan, Su Mo's gaze began to wander again.

Those abs, those V-lines, they're absolutely irresistible!

[Since no one is watching, it shouldn't be a problem to sneak a quick bite, right? I saved his life, so I should repay him in some way, shouldn't I? This is just a small request, it's not unreasonable!] With this thought in mind, Su Mo felt at ease and prepared to make her move.

The next second, "bang!"

The door was suddenly kicked open.

Su Mo was startled and hurriedly withdrew her hand.

Yueying walked over quickly, glanced at Longyan on the bed, and then at Su Mo, whose cheeks were slightly flushed.

[You damn fox, why now of all times?! I haven't even had a chance to touch you yet!]

Yueying breathed a sigh of relief; at least she didn't touch it.

His gentle voice said, "The food is all ready. I'll help him change his dressing."

"No, I..."

"Don't be so polite with me!" Yueying took the medicine jar directly from her hand.

Su Mo gritted her teeth, got up and walked out.

When Yueying finished and came out, Su Mo and the two dragon cubs were busy in the kitchen.

One helped her tend the fire, and the other helped pass her the food.

She was in charge of cooking.

There were also some bottles and jars on the stove that he had never seen before.

Su Mo used to be able to cook, and she was quite good at it, but now that she has a systematic recipe, the taste seems to be even better.

The aroma of the food was so enticing that it made my stomach rumble.

The braised pork in the pot was bubbling away, and the rich, fragrant aroma of the meat wafted into the air, making one's mouth water.

The aroma alone is more enticing than any of the taverns in town.

Yueying paused in her fanning. When did this woman learn to cook?

Females rarely cook, and very few can make such delicious food.

Just how many things has she been hiding from them?

The aroma was so enticing that the two little dragon cubs drooled and stared longingly at the pot.

Su Mo squinted and placed a piece of meat on each of their plates: "Is it good?"

The little dragon cubs nodded frantically!

Once the dishes were cooked, they helped carry them out.

Yueying went to get the bowls and chopsticks, and after sitting down, he stared at the dishes on the table, somewhat stunned.

Su Mo not only cooked the meat exceptionally well, but the fish also looked delicious, and the vegetables were presented very appealing.

Seeing that he wasn't eating, Su Mo urged, "What are you daydreaming about? Eat!"

Yueying picked up a piece of fish, and then his eyes widened in surprise.

What did you use to burn it?

This tastes even better than what you get at the pub in town.

Su Mo smiled, her eyes narrowing: "An exclusive secret recipe!"

Yueying took another bite of the braised pork; it was tender, flavorful, and not greasy at all.

The vegetables were also very refreshing.

"good to eat!"

The two little dragon cubs were so busy eating that they couldn't even muster the time to speak.

After finishing his meal, Yueying washed the dishes and told Su Mo that he needed to go back.

Su Mo's eyes lit up: "You're not coming tonight, right? Then I won't prepare dinner for you..."

Yueying gently interrupted, fanning herself with her fan: "Of course I'll come. I'm just going back to get some personal belongings."

"Ah~" Su Mo stammered, "I feel really bad making you stay in a thatched hut, so maybe you should..." not come!
Yueying's eyes flashed, and she deliberately leaned close to her ear and said softly, "It's alright. I'm happy to be with my wife, no matter where we live."

The tingling, numbing voice in her ear made Su Mo instinctively flinch. "I..."

"I'll be right back. I'll change the medicine in Longyan when I get back."

Yueying didn't give her a chance to speak further and turned away directly.

Su Mo watched his retreating figure and wondered helplessly, "What on earth is this fox up to?"
Never mind, she'll go take a nap first.

When Su Mo woke up, it was almost evening, and it was time to prepare dinner.

She slept very soundly and had no idea what was happening outside.

At that moment, the people of the tribe were pulling Fei Yan and the witch doctor toward her.

Someone exclaimed vividly, "High Priest, witch doctor, Su Mo, this female, has gone mad! She failed to get her hands on Mo Xiao, and has now set her sights on the Dragon Clan's young general! He's in her room right now, you should go and check on him!"

"The Dragon Clan and we've always been at odds, and she actually seduced the major general of our mortal enemy! If the Dragon Clan investigates, won't we all be in trouble because of her?!"

"That's right, she forced herself on the Dragon Clan Major General! How will our tribe face now? She even injured him! It's outrageous!"

The bald witch doctor walking in the middle frowned and said in a deep voice, "This Su Mo is simply outrageous! I think we really need to ask the chieftain to expel her from the tribe!"

Fei Yan said calmly, "Let's hear what Su Mo has to say first."

The female beside her spoke up: "She's definitely just making excuses. The shaman is right, this scourge should be driven out of the tribe!"

Fei Yan frowned and glanced at the female with displeasure. He knew the whole story from last night. Su Mo was saving people and had no ill intentions at all.

But in the mouths of these people, it's a different version altogether.

However, he couldn't explain for Su Mo now. Even if he did, these people wouldn't believe him and would only think he was deliberately showing favoritism.

For now, we can only wait until we get to Su Mo's place to discuss this further.

The group headed to Su Mo's residence in a grand procession.
