Su Mo always had a habit of sleeping in. After all the commotion last night, she slept straight through lunchtime and still hadn’t gotten up.

At one point, Yue Ying asked Fei Yan if they should wake her, since the Clan Leader was waiting.

Mo Xiao shot him a frosty glare. Yue Ying shrank back and didn’t mention it again.

The man wasn’t even the main husband yet and was already acting so imperiously. What would happen if he actually secured the position?

By the time Su Mo woke up, the sun was already in the west. She estimated it was around three in the afternoon.

Little Nine told her that because of yesterday’s events, she had gained another wave of goodwill points from bystanders.

Mo Xiao’s score, in particular, had skyrocketed from -50 to +50. Because his point increase broke a record, the system gave her an extra 160 points. Her current total was 835.

Little Nine teased her, "Looks like your strenuous efforts last night were very effective, Host. Keep up the good work~"

Su Mo: "Speak plainly..."

"Ahem~" Little Nine coughed lightly. "However, Yue Ying’s and Fei Yan’s goodwill scores both dropped by 5 points."

"Huh? Can it really mess with me like that? Are you doing this on purpose?"

"I’m innocent! According to my analysis, they’re probably just jealous of Mo Xiao~ It’s only 5 points, a piece of cake for you, Host!"

Su Mo paused, then nodded seriously. "Hmm, they must be jealous that Mo Xiao and I are getting too close. As expected, the villains are my true loves!"

Little Nine: "...Did you put all your brainpower into saving up points and making money???"

"You think I have a talent for business too, right! I’m telling you, I’m a future business prodigy!"

Little Nine: ’You’re completely impervious to reason!!!’

"Right, where are my points for saving Long Yan and Mo Xiao?"

"The system will automatically award them once they’ve fully recovered."

"Oh."

After Su Mo washed up, Fei Yan, Yue Ying, and Mo Xiao walked over, carrying the meal they had prepared for her.

"You’ve been hungry all day, wife. Have something to eat."

Su Mo glanced at the food and chose a light dish.

Fei Yan stood by her side and told her that the Clan Leader wanted to see her.

Su Mo frowned. "Why does he suddenly want to see me?"

’Strange, it’s not like that old geezer the Clan Leader and I have ever had much to do with each other~’

"You’ll find out when you get there." Seeing she had finished eating, Fei Yan handed her a cloth to wipe her mouth. "We’ll go with you."

Su Mo changed into a light pink silk skirt. She casually put up her long, dark hair with a single peach wood hairpin, letting the rest fall loosely over her shoulders. When the occasional breeze blew, her hair would flutter, and though she was still thin, the look added a touch of lively and playful charm to her appearance.

Her three Beastman fiancés followed leisurely behind her.

Those three were too eye-catching; they caused a stir wherever they went.

Sure enough, they hadn’t gone more than a few steps before an acquaintance greeted Su Mo. "Little Mo, taking your Beast Husbands out for a stroll?"

At first, Su Mo had struggled with whether to correct them, since they weren’t officially her Beast Husbands yet.

But eventually, everyone started calling them that, and she couldn’t be bothered to explain anymore. She just stretched her lips into her standard fake smile until her face felt stiff.

In the Beast World, once a Beastman and his fiancée were betrothed, the engagement was not easily broken.

Everyone tacitly agreed that engaged Females and males were already considered family.

However, Su Mo remembered from the original novel that everyone had been very pessimistic about the original owner’s engagement to these men, constantly predicting its failure.

She didn’t know what strange wind had blown in recently to make everyone’s brains go haywire.

That sly fox Yue Ying would open his pretty little mouth and start with "my wife," and then he wouldn’t shut up.

He made everyone think that wedding bells would soon be ringing for Su Mo and her fiancés.

Fei Yan and Mo Xiao would follow behind without a peep, letting him spout his nonsense.

Several times, Su Mo had wanted to jump up and down and stuff something in that fox’s stupid mouth, but alas, she wasn’t tall enough...

And that shameless, stinking fox never gave her the chance anyway.

The aunties enthusiastically said to Su Mo, "You have to let us all know when the wedding day is! We’ll all come with gifts!"

Recently, Su Mo had treated the illnesses of the Beastmen and Females in the village, earning a wave of goodwill. Everyone was quite grateful to her.

They used to think the unremarkable Su Mo wasn’t good enough for those five outstanding Beast Husbands, but now, the more they looked at her, the more they liked her!

On the contrary, they started to feel a bit indignant on Su Mo’s behalf when they thought about how those Beast Husbands had disdained her in every possible way before.

Su Mo: "..."

’Where did these wedding rumors even come from?! Oh, for crying out loud! It’s true what they say: spreading a rumor takes one mouth, but refuting it will run your legs off... Just look at how vigorous they are. If I really married them, they’d wear me out until I perished in less than a month...’

Yue Ying fanned himself, telling the aunties with a smug look, "Of course! We’ll be sure to prepare plenty of fine wine and food!"

But there were always those who loved to be contrary.

"I don’t know what’s so great about this Su Mo. Weren’t all her fiancés clamoring to break off the engagement before? Why are they acting as if they’re possessed lately? Don’t tell me this Su Mo fed them some forbidden drug again?!"

Su Mo’s mouth twitched. ’Fools! If I had a drug like that, I’d use it to poison all you rumor-mongers mute first!!!’

"I don’t think Yue Ying, Fei Yan, and Mo Xiao reject her like they used to. Have they fallen for her? Are they really going to marry her?"

’I think you all are truly blind! Damn romance-addled brains, thinking you can ship anyone with anyone... I should give your eyes and brains a proper check-up one of these days!’

Yue Ying covered his face with his feather fan and let out a soft laugh.

His wife was such an interesting person.

On the surface, she gave everyone a sarcastic little laugh, but behind their backs, her words were as if dipped in poison. It was incredibly cute.

They soon arrived at the Clan Leader’s house, where the Clan Leader’s Wife had already prepared tea. The Clan Leader’s Wife was a very gentle Female. She wore a moon-colored dress with her hair in a bun, looking elegant and lovely.

But Su Mo didn’t expect that the three performers from yesterday—the Wolf Beastman, the Leopard Beastman, and the Eagle Beastman—would also be there.

Seeing Su Mo enter, all three of their eyes lit up.

She didn’t notice, her mind uncontrollably flashing back to yesterday’s scene.

’I’d love to watch their performance again, to feel that heart-pounding thrill~’

’Ah~ now’s not the time to be fangirling. I have important business to attend to. I need to find a chance to talk about breaking off the engagement soon~’

Standing behind her, Mo Xiao, Fei Yan, and Yue Ying all couldn’t help but narrow their eyes.

Fei Yan’s heavy gaze swept over the three performers, and he frowned slightly.

When he looked up, his eyes met Mo Xiao’s. Their thoughts were mutually understood.

The Clan Leader had called those three over; he was probably trying to stir up trouble.

Yue Ying gently waved his feather fan, his face a picture of perfect harmony, but in his heart, he knew exactly what was going on.

’That bastard Clan Leader just loves to make trouble out of nothing!’

’Waaaah, my wife has already stolen a third glance at those little charmers~’

’It’s over, it’s over! This fox’s status in the family is in jeopardy!’

Su Mo politely greeted the Clan Leader and the Clan Leader’s Wife, giving a slight bow.

The Clan Leader immediately chuckled and waved her over, gesturing for her to sit down.

"Little Mo, I didn’t call you here for anything important today, just to chat."

Su Mo’s eyes curved into crescents, looking obedient and easy to talk to as she waited for him to continue.

Yue Ying raised an eyebrow. ’Old geezer, you’d better be talking to my wife about something proper. If you dare spout nonsense and let those guys try to poach what’s mine, this fox will declare you my sworn enemy!!!’
