Chapter 110: Chapter 108: First, Determine the Candidate for Main Husband
After Mo Xiao and Fei Yan finished talking with Long Yan, they saw Yue Ying leaning against the door, looking sullen. He was irritably fanning himself with his feather fan.
Mo Xiao frowned. "Is Cang Lan in our wife’s room?"
"Yes."
Yue Ying spat out, his voice seething with resentment, "That stupid leopard has actually started using his brain!"
Mo Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly.
’Even Cang Lan, who usually seems the least competitive, wants to fight for the position of main husband now?’
The hand Fei Yan had hanging by his side clenched involuntarily.
It was probably because their wife’s face was now so dazzling that even the ever-slow-on-the-uptake Cang Lan couldn’t help but feel a sense of crisis.
He tried to convince himself not to care. After all, days like this would become the norm...
But the tumultuous emotions surging within told him he was only fooling himself.
Let’s not even mention the covetously watching Long Yan. Among the few of them here, who didn’t want to be the most special person in her heart?
Long Yan, who had been about to return to his room, had evidently heard Yue Ying’s words as well. An odd feeling he couldn’t control surfaced in his heart.
He knew he wasn’t qualified to care about these things, but some emotions couldn’t be controlled just by wanting to.
Taking a deep breath, he did his best to suppress that strange feeling and walked toward his room.
「In Su Mo’s room.」
Cang Lan had transformed into a small leopard and was crouched adorably on the inner side of the bed. Su Mo was lying on her side, watching him.
’Wow, a mini-leopard? Aww, he’s kind of cute.’
Su Mo reached out to stroke his fur, tweaked his nose, and then pinched his ears.
The little leopard scooted closer to her, lowered his head, and nuzzled her forehead, her cheek, and the tip of her nose.
Then he simply lay down in her arms.
Su Mo was overcome by his cuteness. She leaned down and planted a kiss on his forehead.
"Such a good boy."
The next second, the little leopard in her arms transformed into his human form...
Su Mo looked down and saw Cang Lan, his face red, looking up at her and whispering, "Wife, do you want to kiss again?"
Su Mo instantly sensed a hint of danger. She blinked and shook her head. "N-No, I don’t think so..."
A trace of sadness appeared in Cang Lan’s eyes. He whispered, "I want to kiss again..."
Looking at his heartbroken expression, Su Mo’s heart softened. She leaned down and kissed his forehead.
"Alright..."
Before she could finish, the man in her arms pinned her beneath him with a single move.
"Wife kissed me twice, so I want to kiss my wife twice."
"..."
’You can keep score like that? This is too much!’
Cang Lan looked at her expectantly, as if he hadn’t heard her inner thoughts at all.
’It doesn’t matter. I’m going to kiss my wife today.’
His face red, he lowered his head and pressed his lips against Su Mo’s soft ones.
It started as a gentle, tentative exploration, but he gradually lost his restraint. Just as Su Mo felt she was about to suffocate, he finally let her go.
Cang Lan looked at her with passion-filled eyes. "Wife, I want... I want..."
Su Mo looked back at him with her glistening eyes and reached out to cover his mouth.
’I haven’t even recovered yet! With his brute strength... if we keep playing like this, it’ll be the death of me!’
"Cang Lan, how about we play a game?"
Cang Lan shook his head forcefully. His wife had said the same thing last time, and then he’d been kicked out of the room.
He absolutely couldn’t play a game with his wife this time.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I don’t want to play a game. I want..."
Before Cang Lan could finish, that sly fox’s cheeky voice came from outside. "Wife, I want to play a game!"
Cang Lan froze, then frowned at Su Mo and complained, "Wife, he’s eavesdropping!"
Yue Ying: "Oh, come on, Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, and I were just happening to pass by. Is Mo’er playing a game? Then we’re coming in!"
Before Su Mo could speak, the door was thrown open with a BANG.
Yue Ying dragged the other two, who looked slightly awkward, into the room, one in each hand.
Su Mo frowned and glanced at them.
’Do they all love eavesdropping this much? How am I supposed to live like this in the future...’
Cang Lan shot the three of them a resentful look, glaring at them angrily.
The atmosphere instantly grew tense.
Yue Ying paid him no mind. He was shameless, and right now was a critical moment in the fight to become the main husband.
There was no way he could lose to this little leopard!
The fox’s bright eyes swept over Su Mo’s moist lips and the red mark on her neck, and his gaze instantly darkened.
He then sat down next to Su Mo, narrowing his eyes. "What game does Mo’er want to play? I’ll play with you. And them! All of us together!"
"I’ve even thought of the rules. The loser has to let you kiss them, and the winner gets to kiss you!"
Hearing this, Cang Lan’s eyes lit up. "I agree!"
Fei Yan and Mo Xiao remained as placid as ever, saying nothing.
Su Mo’s cool gaze swept over them.
’I don’t think they want to play a game. I think they want to play *me*. These eyes of mine have already seen through everything!’
Yue Ying narrowed his eyes and continued, "Our wife is quiet. Are you scared?"
Little Nine: "He’s good at setting rules, I’ll give him that! Host, I just redeemed a mahjong set for you. A warrior can be killed but not humiliated! Play with them! I refuse to believe a transmigrator like you can’t beat a few Beastmen. Go!"
Su Mo frowned. "You troublemaker, stop meddling... Just shut up!"
Little Nine: "What’s there to be afraid of? With me, Little Nine, here, is it even possible for you to lose?"
Su Mo couldn’t help but roll her eyes. "With you here, I’m even less at ease!"
"How could you say that! I’m completely loyal to you, Host!"
Su Mo gritted her teeth and snapped, "Get lost!"
Then she looked at the men in the room, who might as well have had ’desire’ written on their faces, and said with a frown, "All of you, get out. I’m going to sleep."
"Didn’t we agree to play a game? I don’t want to go out."
Yue Ying hugged her arm and said shamelessly, "Either we play the game, or I’ll stay with you."
Cang Lan said anxiously, "It should be me who stays with our wife!"
Fei Yan and Mo Xiao didn’t speak, but from the looks of it, they didn’t want to leave either.
Su Mo gritted her teeth, put on a fierce expression, and snapped, "All of you, get out! I’m going to get angry if you don’t leave right now!"
The corner of Yue Ying’s eye twitched. "Fine, we’ll go. Why so fierce?"
He then grabbed Cang Lan from the bed and pushed the other two out with him.
Su Mo bolted the door and thought helplessly, ’If it’s going to be like this every day, how am I ever going to get by?’
Little Nine: "Aww, it’s just because they’ve been holding back for too long. They’re all jumping at any chance to get into your bed. Now that your poison will be cured soon, I think you should determine the main husband as soon as possible. Pick one who can keep the others in line. It’ll be less trouble for you."
Su Mo frowned. "By that logic, the only choice for main husband is Mo Xiao?"
The few men outside froze.
They subconsciously looked at Mo Xiao.
Little Nine: "Yep. His Combat Power is the highest. The others can’t beat him!"
Su Mo frowned. "But I can’t beat him either... He’s too opinionated. He’s not like an obedient snake who’d listen to my every word."
Little Nine: "Oh, come on, he’d never hit you! He wouldn’t have the heart to!"
Su Mo shook her head. "No. I still want to choose a main husband who listens to me. He goes crazy sometimes; I can’t control him. If he became the main husband, he’d just get even more clingy..."
Little Nine paused for a few seconds before a sudden realization. "Ah, I get it! You’re afraid you won’t be able to handle it? Host... I suspect you’re humblebragging!"
Su Mo: "I r-really can’t get through to you at all!"
Outside, Mo Xiao frowned, his heart tightening. ’When have I ever not listened to her? It’s just that whenever I kiss her, I can’t control my emotions and get a little carried away.’
But that was the nature of a Snake Beastman. Once he was close to her, how could he care about anything else?
Besides, he had clearly never dared to do anything too excessive...
Yue Ying let out a soft laugh. It seemed their wife’s choice for main husband wasn’t this stinking snake.
’What great news!’
Little Nine spoke again: "Then choose Yue Ying. I think that fox is very interesting! And his Combat Power is decent."
Su Mo thought for a few seconds. "The fox gets too jealous. No way. If he became the main husband, wouldn’t I have to coax him every single day?"
Outside, the hand Yue Ying was using to fan himself paused.
’You heartless little thing, when have I ever needed you to coax me? Isn’t it always... me who has to coax myself back into a good mood!’
Little Nine continued its analysis: "What about Ye Yuan? He’s certainly obedient and docile, but with his personality, could he keep the others in line?"
Su Mo frowned. She understood that logic.
Little Nine added: "Cang Lan has a one-track mind; he wouldn’t be good at handling all the trivial matters of the household. That only leaves Fei Yan. His Combat Power is second only to Mo Xiao’s, he’s already the High Priest, so his ability to handle things is a given. Plus, his affection score is the highest right now. Why not just pick him!"
As soon as it finished speaking, a string of numbers flashed through Su Mo’s mind.
Fei Yan: 90.6
Mo Xiao: 90.5
Yue Ying: 88
Ye Yuan: 77
Cang Lan: 73
Passerby A: 74
Passerby B: 30
Su Mo frowned. ’There are decimals now?’
Little Nine explained: "At this current stage, you’ll probably only be able to break the 100% mark after you... you know... get intimate."
"What’s with Passerby B? Can the score actually go down?"
Little Nine: "Um... I haven’t locked onto the source of the affection points, so I can’t analyze the reason. It’s not important! What’s important now is to first confirm your choice for main husband."
Su Mo yawned. "I’m sleeping first. We’ll talk about it after we get back to the North Wing."
