An awkward silence fell.

Huang Ming was the first to break the silence. "Mm, these wild vegetables are quite good. A light dinner is nice."

Su Mo gave an embarrassed laugh. "I’m glad you like them."

After saying this, she secretly shot a glare at the two guys across from her.

Then, she enthusiastically served more food to Huang Ming and Fei Yun.

Fei Yun blushed and glanced at Su Mo. "Thank you, Sister Mo~"

Seeing that his ears were about to pop out again, Yue Ying quickly shot a death glare over, stopping the action just in time.

Su Mo saw the tips of Fei Yun’s ears just as they emerged and was puzzled.

’They were clearly coming out, so why did they suddenly retract?!’

After dinner, seeing that the hour was late, Huang Ming said his goodbyes and prepared to leave.

Before he left, he didn’t forget to remind Su Mo, "Miss Su, you must remember to help me find that book."

Yue Ying quickly interjected, "Once my wife finds it, I’ll deliver it to Huang Witch Doctor for you."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Immortal Lord!"

Huang Ming left, completely satisfied.

Fei Yan helped them take the Tiger Beastman to the place in the tribe where he could be treated.

With a comatose dragon and an injured cat already in their home, they really had no space to keep this Tiger Beastman.

After everyone had left, Yue Ying fanned himself as he tried to speak with Su Mo.

Su Mo spun around and strode quickly toward the kitchen, not wanting to deal with him.

’That damn fox! We have so much food at home, yet he insisted on serving a table full of wild vegetables to our guests! He must have done it on purpose! Just to give me a reputation for being harsh and stingy. I have to let him know right now that I have a temper, too!!!’

’Outrageous, this is just outrageous! He’s made me lose face completely!’

Yue Ying, who was following behind her, heard Su Mo’s thoughts and faltered in his steps.

’My wife is really angry this time?’

’This is bad. How am I going to coax her out of it?’

The fox’s eyes darted around, but he still hadn’t come up with a good idea.

—

’Tonight is the perfect opportunity. I’ll use this chance to put on a show for him, and then I’ll kick them all out! Hehe, my brilliant brain is just too clever!!!’

’You damned fox, you brought this on yourself!’

Yue Ying: "..."

’Ha! Here I am, wondering how to appease her, and what is she doing? Plotting how to kick me out?!’

’The little ingrate. She sure has some beautiful dreams.’

Yue Ying’s mind raced, and then with a single bound, he blocked Su Mo’s path.

He called out in a soft voice, "Wife~"

That soft, alluring voice, tinged with a hint of grievance, made Su Mo shiver involuntarily.

All the arguments she had been brewing in her mind were instantly forgotten.

’What is this drama queen up to now???’

Yue Ying half-covered his face with his feather fan, and in the next second, he began his stuttering, pitiful performance.

"Tonight was all my fault. I shouldn’t have been lazy and only made vegetarian dishes. But it was getting late, wasn’t it? I was just thinking of finishing quickly so we could eat sooner~ After all, my wife, you’ve been hungry all afternoon. It was a moment of haste on Yue Ying’s part that made me lose my sense of propriety~"

"If my wife wants to blame me for this, then I will naturally accept it. But if caring about my wife is also a mistake, then wouldn’t every Beast Husband in this tribe be making mistakes every single day?"

As he spoke, he let out a heartbroken sob. "I am not qualified to say these things to you, wife. After all, you are the head of this household. If you say I am wrong, then I am naturally wrong~ Since I’ve made a mistake, I will accept any punishment you see fit. But please, wife, don’t ruin your health by being angry at me. That would truly be my greatest fault."

Su Mo’s beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the man before her in disbelief.

’I haven’t even started, and he’s already begun?!’

’You’re a cunning fox, why are you pretending to be Lin Daiyu?’

"I..."

Before she could finish, Yue Ying said mournfully, "Yue Ying has displeased his wife. I will go face the wall and reflect on my misdeeds now."

With that, he raised his sleeve to cover his face and walked away.

Su Mo: "..."

’You’re really getting addicted to this act!’

’Huh? Wait a minute, I haven’t even started yet! Why is he running away!’

BANG—

Yue Ying closed the door to his room and bolted it shut.

Then, he leaned against the door and let out a long breath.

Who would believe it if he told them? He, the once majestic and imposing Fox Immortal Lord, was now resorting to all sorts of shameful tricks just to avoid being kicked out by his wife...

The word ’miserable’ couldn’t even begin to describe it!

’Karma. This is all karma...’

Su Mo stood with her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed out in anger. She stared at the closed door, feeling completely helpless for a moment.

She suspected the fox had stolen her acting script, but she had no proof.

After a little while, the Little Dragons, who had gone out for a stroll, returned with two fish in their hands.

"Sister Mo, look! We got these fish for Little Black. He has dinner now!"

Su Mo took the fish and glanced at them. Two fish, not too big and not too small, were just right for Little Black.

So she casually tossed one toward the cat’s bed. Little Black sniffed it, then shrank back.

Nannan frowned. "Doesn’t he like it?"

He walked over and offered the fish to Little Black’s mouth.

But the cat completely ignored him, burying its head in its belly.

Su Mo frowned. ’What breed is this cat? It’s way too picky!’

She raised an eyebrow and said, "Forget it. He’s just not hungry yet. He’ll eat when he is."

"Oh~"

Nannan and Dongdong replied, then squatted down to play with the cat for a while, but its personality was aloof and it didn’t respond to them at all.

The two Little Beastmen found it boring and left.

Su Mo walked over to check the cat’s wound and applied some medicine.

Looking at its listless appearance, she said disdainfully, "Once you’re healed, you can leave on your own."

After she left, Little Black opened his sapphire-blue cat eyes and stared at her back.

Su Mo suddenly whipped her head around, her gaze locking with the cat’s.

She strode back, narrowed her eyes, and started ruffling the cat’s head. "Caught you, you little faker!"

"MROW~" Little Black let out a displeased cry.

Su Mo took the opportunity to give his belly a rub, then stood up and left, satisfied.

"It’s not for free. I’ll make you braised crucian carp tomorrow!"

"MROW~"

Another displeased cry.

After Su Mo was gone, Little Black stretched out a paw and disdainfully pawed at the fur on his belly.

It seemed to find Su Mo’s earlier touch quite repulsive...

When Fei Yan returned, he happened to run into Mo Xiao.

He had spent the whole day interrogating Wu Mountain and had finally gotten something out of him. That son of a bitch said the person he reported to was in the Dragon Clan.

He didn’t know who it was specifically; the other party only provided him with information and never showed their face.

Their tribe didn’t normally associate with the Dragon Clan, so rashly going to their territory to investigate was definitely not an option.

However, wasn’t there a half-dead member of the Dragon Clan right here at home? Once he woke up, perhaps they could find an opportunity to pay a visit.

"How was our wife today?"

As Mo Xiao asked this, he couldn’t help but glance toward Su Mo’s room.

It seemed she was already asleep.

Fei Yan told him about his return that afternoon, including everything that had happened with Yue Ying.

Then he said, "Tomorrow, I want to take her to wander around town."

He also had one chance to make a request, and this was the one he planned to make tomorrow.

Mo Xiao nodded without a word.

’Yue Ying was right,’ he thought. ’May the best man win.’

That night, Fei Yan took a bath. Without even taking the time to dry his hair, he threw on a crescent-moon-colored robe and sat on the edge of his bed.

He secretly took out the book, ’God’s Prophecy’.

The book was incredibly thick; the table of contents alone was many pages long. Very few people could ever finish it. For someone unfamiliar with it, opening it up would leave them clueless as to how to find any useful information.

Fei Yan searched page by page through the table of contents. Finally, he found a title called ’Beastman Mating Guide’!

Fei Yan, a little nervous, turned to that page.
