Oops! My Beast Mates Can Hear My Inner Voice

Mo Xiao paid a visit to the Clan Leader. The Clan Leader and the Clan Leader’s Wife were not only severely injured but had also been poisoned.

Huang Ming had already used medicine to stabilize their vitals, but they showed no signs of waking.

He glanced at Mo Xiao and consulted him, "Could we ask Miss Su to come take a look?"

Mo Xiao furrowed his brow.

Last night had been too rough; his wife had only just fallen asleep.

Yue Ying raised an eyebrow. "This afternoon should be fine."

In any case, their vitals are stable. Let them wait.

Huang Ming’s brow furrowed. He glanced at Fei Yan, but seeing the High Priest had no intention of speaking up, he could only nod.

The group soon went to see Xuan Wei and Xuan Shuang. The two young ladies of the Tiger Clan were remarkably calm.

Xuan Shuang looked at Mo Xiao, then turned to Fei Yan. "I’m afraid we’ll have to impose on you for a few more days."

"That’s no trouble. We just ask for your full cooperation with the investigation going forward."

"Of course."

After asking a few more questions, Fei Yan left their room. Xuan Wei looked at her composed younger sister with a sense of helplessness. "Our third brother is locked up in the North Wing. It’s one thing for you to not show a shred of concern, but why do you seem so excited?"

Xuan Shuang smiled. "Is it that obvious?"

Xuan Wei shook her head, exasperated. "Aren’t you worried he’ll get hurt? He’s the prime suspect right now."

"He’s still the third young master of the Tiger Clan. They wouldn’t dare take his life. And he’s an Eighth Rank Beastman, after all. A few injuries are nothing to worry about."

Xuan Shuang grew more excited as she spoke. "I was just worrying about how to find an excuse for him to stay in the North Wing, and now this is perfect, isn’t it? It’s such an obvious frame-up. Miss Su is no fool. She’ll sort it all out in due time. Why should I trouble myself with it?"

「The Cells」

Fei Yan went to see the third young master. Xuan Qing had been whipped, and faint streaks of blood stained his plain white robes. Despite this, his expression was as serene as ever, as if the injuries weren’t on his body at all.

The initial interrogation was complete. Fei Yan’s visit this time was to press him on the most suspicious points.

"The one who injured the Clan Leader and the Clan Leader’s Wife used a unique Tiger Clan skill, and you just happened to be unconscious outside their room. What exactly happened last night?"

Xuan Qing’s tone was perfectly calm. "I was lured out. During the fight, I was drugged. My opponent faked my skills and injured the Clan Leader and the Clan Leader’s Wife."

Fei Yan frowned and looked at Huang Ming, who nodded. "He does have traces of a sedative in his system, along with components of a Beast Binding Pill. However, I can’t determine the exact composition. We’ll probably need Miss Su to take a look."

Fei Yan frowned. "Third Young Master, could you describe the events of last night in more detail?"

...

A moment later, Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, and the others emerged from the cells.

Yue Ying couldn’t help but frown. "The North Wing is on lockdown, isn’t it? We should search everyone one by one and find out where this person is."

Fei Yan’s brows knitted together. "Xuan Qing is an Eighth Rank Beastman. His opponent was not only able to hold their own against him but also managed to drug him. Their skills must surpass his. Finding them won’t be easy."

Mo Xiao’s brow furrowed. "I’ll arrange for more men and tighten security."

When they arrived home, Cang Lan and Ye Yuan were in the courtyard.

Fei Yan explained the situation to them and gave them some instructions, then followed Yue Ying and Mo Xiao upstairs to check on her.

Su Mo was fast asleep.

Her dark hair was fanned out across the bed, her slender body wrapped in a thin beast-hide blanket. The shocking marks on her exposed shoulder were faintly visible.

Yue Ying shot Mo Xiao an irritated glare. ’That damned snake doesn’t know how to hold back!’

After leaving Su Mo’s room, Fei Yan said with a frown, "Let’s wake our wife up for lunch."

Mo Xiao and Yue Ying said nothing. After all, both the Clan Leader and Xuan Qing needed their wife to examine them as soon as possible.

Su Mo slept soundly all morning, only to be woken by hunger.

As she rolled over, she heard footsteps outside.

She groggily opened her eyes to see Fei Yan pushing the door open.

He walked over and helped her sit up, her mind still fuzzy. "Since you’re awake, wife, let’s get you up for something to eat. We have to go out in a little while."

Su Mo leaned limply against his chest, snuggling into him unconsciously. "Did something happen?"

"Yes," Fei Yan said softly. "Last night, the Clan Leader and the Clan Leader’s Wife were ambushed. The attacker used a unique Tiger Clan skill, and they’re both still unconscious. The third young master is being held in custody."

"Really?"

Su Mo frowned, all traces of sleepiness vanishing in an instant.

’So much happened in one night?!’

As he helped her dress, Fei Yan concisely explained everything he knew.

Su Mo’s brows knitted together.

’This sounds like Jin Tong’s handiwork. That bastard loves making trouble for me out of nowhere! I have no idea how I pissed him off, but he just loves to oppose me!’

Fei Yan frowned. "After you eat, I’ll go with you to take a look, wife."

Su Mo nodded, but when she tried to stand, her legs felt strangely weak.

Fortunately, Fei Yan was there to steady her...

The moment she looked up, her eyes met Fei Yan’s teasing gaze. "Should I carry you?"

Su Mo’s face instantly flushed. "N-No, you don’t have to!"

’Mo Xiao went way too far! I’ve decided. I’m giving them the cold shoulder for the next ten days!’

Fei Yan raised an eyebrow. ’One person makes a mistake and the rest of us get punished for it?’

’That won’t do.’

The moment Su Mo took a step, the man beside her swept her into his arms. His low, amused voice sounded by her ear. "Don’t worry, Mo’er. I would never be as rough as him. I’ll always treat you like a precious treasure. So don’t give me the cold shoulder, alright?"

Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat.

’Do all Beastmen have the Heart-reading Skill?!’

She blushed and said, "Have you been learning tricks from that fox?"

"I don’t need to learn how to coax you." He reached out, brushing a stray strand of hair from her neck before lowering his head to nuzzle her gently. "When you frown, I can guess what you’re thinking. When you purse your lips, I know what you want to say. So, please don’t give Fei Yan the cold shoulder, wife. Alright?"

"Mm, you’re the best," Su Mo said, unable to stop herself from wrapping her arms around him.

She rose onto her tiptoes and lightly kissed his Adam’s apple.

A flicker of emotion crossed Fei Yan’s eyes. The next second, his hand was on her slender waist, deepening their kiss.

Su Mo was quickly lost in his kiss. By the time she came to her senses, he had already laid her down on the bed.

She turned her head to avoid his lingering kisses, her voice soft as she tried to reason with him. "Can... can you wait two days...?"

Fei Yan paused, his deep, dark eyes fixed on her.

He chuckled softly and agreed, "Alright. I’ll wait two more days."

’I got carried away and lost my composure. My wife still hasn’t recovered. I shouldn’t have been so impatient.’

Fei Yan pulled her up from the bed and held her gently in his arms.

He heard her softly try to bargain, "How about three days...?"

Fei Yan looked down, his gentle eyes gazing at her as he said, word by word, "For you, wife, I am willing to wait as long as it takes."

Blushing, Su Mo hugged him tighter.

Outside the door, Yue Ying, who had been eavesdropping for some time, was fuming, his face twisted in anger.

’Tsk. I knew that flightless chicken coming up here alone was suspicious. His schemes for winning over our wife are impossible to defend against!’

He turned to see Mo Xiao standing behind him, though he hadn’t noticed him arrive. Yue Ying snorted. "Even though you’re the main husband now, you can’t abuse your position. Don’t even think about monopolizing our wife."

Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow. "If you’ve got what it takes, then go compete for her. Don’t take it out on me just because your game is weak."

With a soft chuckle, he turned and walked away.

"You damned snake, you’re going to be the death of this fox!" Yue Ying seethed, gritting his teeth as he glared at Mo Xiao’s departing back.

He glanced back toward the room. ’I refuse to believe this! It’s one thing to lose out to that damned snake, but am I really going to lose to this damned flightless chicken too?!’

’We’ll see about that!’
