Oops! My Beast Mates Can Hear My Inner Voice

Xuan Shuang and Xuan Wei had to pass through North Wing Town on their way back to the Tiger Clan. The large group headed toward the town.

Su Mo also gave them some of the products she planned to sell, asking them to take them back and let the other members of their clan try them out.

Xuan Wei sniffed them and exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "They smell amazing!"

Su Mo said with a smile, "They’re made from a blend of several ingredients. Please take them back and help me spread the word."

"No problem."

Xuan Wei then whispered, "The medicine you left for me last time, could you give me some more? Yours is more effective than the ones I make myself."

Smiling, Su Mo took a bag from Cang Lan and handed it over. "I already have it all ready for you. There are also some North Wing medicinal herbs in here for you to take back and plant. If you run out, just come and find me."

Xuan Wei looked touched. "I’m truly blessed to have a wonderful sister like you!"

She took Su Mo’s hand and said, "In a little while, when it’s time for you to take your medicine again, why don’t you come back to the Tiger Clan with Xuan Qing?"

Su Mo said, her eyes narrowing slightly, "We’ll see how it goes."

’If things in the North Wing are settled by then, it’ll be the perfect time to send this Third Young Master back home.’

At her side, Cang Lan instinctively glanced over at the Third Young Master.

Xuan Qing still wore that same cold, detached expression, revealing no hint of emotion.

Once in North Wing Town, Xuan Wei and Xuan Shuang went to see Su Mo’s shop before parting ways with the group.

Although Su Mo hadn’t been to town recently, Yue Ying had been arranging for people to help her handle the miscellaneous tasks. Two shop assistants had also been hired.

Everything in the shop was more or less ready. They just needed to display the goods to open for business.

Su Mo didn’t plan to sell much today; the main goal was promotion.

She had Cang Lan set down the items, then introduced the products one by one to the new staff. First, they had to familiarize themselves with the products and learn the sales pitch.

After she felt she had explained enough, she had Cang Lan move a table and chairs outside and arrange the products for display.

The shop Su Mo was renting was in a pretty good location.

After she called out a few times from the doorway, a sizable crowd started to gather.

Her products were all from the System Laboratory, and their scent alone was enough to attract people.

Coupled with her current appearance, which was persuasive in itself, it wasn’t long before a large crowd had formed around her.

Some took the free samples and left, while others asked about the price.

Su Mo didn’t set the prices high. After all, she opened this shop to gain popularity and boost sales volume in order to upgrade her System Space.

Of course, since the products came from the System Laboratory, they didn’t have much of a production cost. There was no way she could lose money.

As Su Mo was patiently explaining things to a customer, she heard a familiar voice call out.

"Su Mo?!"

She turned and saw Ah Nuan looking at her with an excited expression.

Ah Nuan squeezed through the crowd to her side. "You opened this shop?!"

Su Mo nodded, her eyes crinkling. "It’s a soft opening today. Are you out shopping too?"

"I brought my Beast Husband out to buy a few things today." Ah Nuan looked at the items on the table and murmured, "I knew the scent of the things those women were holding was familiar!"

"Um..."

Ah Nuan wanted to say more, but a fresh wave of customers arrived, and Su Mo was too busy to talk.

She watched from the side for a moment, then started imitating Su Mo, helping her attend to the customers.

You had to hand it to her, Ah Nuan was quick-witted. In just a short while, she had picked up most of Su Mo’s sales pitch.

After dealing with that group of people, Su Mo pulled her into the shop to sit and rest for a bit.

"You’ve got the potential to be a top salesperson!"

Ah Nuan took a big gulp of water and asked curiously, "What’s a ’top salesperson’?"

"Um, it means you’re great at selling things! Oh, right, don’t be in a hurry to go back for lunch. My treat!"

Ah Nuan accepted without hesitation. "Sounds good!"

She looked around Su Mo’s shop and asked, "Are those two the workers you hired? How many coins a month do you pay them? Why hire someone else when you could just hire me?"

Su Mo’s eyes lit up. "If you come work for me, I’ll pay you double!"

Ah Nuan’s lips curved into a smile. "The money doesn’t really matter. I just want..."

She glanced sideways at the products on the shelves.

Su Mo guessed her thoughts. "You’ll have free use of all the products here."

"Really?"

"Of course!" Su Mo said, her eyes crinkling. "As long as you help me look after this shop, you can use whatever you want!"

"No problem!"

Su Mo had been worrying about finding someone trustworthy to help manage the shop, so this was perfect. She immediately pulled Ah Nuan over and began explaining the functions and usage methods of all the products one by one.

Ah Nuan was a quick study and memorized everything right away. She even jumped right into work mode.

Watching her work with such enthusiasm, Su Mo couldn’t help but marvel internally.

’She’s a natural workhorse, practically a Sacred Body of labor!’

Cang Lan placed the goods in the back storeroom while Xuan Qing took the opportunity to count the inventory. He then handed a list to Su Mo.

Su Mo glanced at it. Everything was clearly written out and neatly categorized.

Xuan Qing pointed to the blank space at the bottom and said, "From now on, have them log the goods they take for the storefront each day. That way, there won’t be any mistakes."

Su Mo nodded, casually grabbed a pen and paper, drew a table at the bottom, and wrote down a few headers.

Product Name, Date Stocked, Quantity Stocked.

Current Inventory, Remaining, Date Withdrawn.

Xuan Qing glanced at it. Even though she had drawn it casually, it was perfectly clear at a glance.

Su Mo called Ah Nuan over, handed her the paper, gave a few more instructions, and Ah Nuan understood immediately.

’I’ll check the System Space tonight for some suitable ledgers and exchange for a few.’

The moment Su Mo looked up, she met Xuan Qing’s probing gaze. She frowned subconsciously.

’What’s he looking at?’

The instant their gazes met, Cang Lan came over from behind her.

He glanced at Su Mo, then at Xuan Qing, and then took a swift step to block Su Mo’s line of sight.

Frowning, he called to her, "Su Mo."

Su Mo blinked. "All set?"

Cang Lan nodded. "Mhm!"

Su Mo smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Then come with me to find a small restaurant. We’ll call everyone to have lunch together in a bit."

Cang Lan grabbed her hand and led her past Xuan Qing.

The shop was also quite busy in the afternoon, but with Ah Nuan there, Su Mo handled it with relative ease.

That evening, she had Ah Nuan and her two Beast Husbands stay, and she cooked dinner herself.

Other than helping wash vegetables, Xuan Qing couldn’t get a hand in with anything else. The black leopard guarded against him as if he were a thief, his gaze filled with suspicion.

At lunchtime, Cang Lan had also deliberately sat in a way that separated him from Su Mo.

Xuan Qing found it rather amusing. He had never imagined a day would come when someone would be so wary of him.

Right now, Su Mo was stir-frying dishes while Cang Lan tended the fire.

Xuan Qing leaned against the outer wall, his calm and indifferent gaze fixed on the slender figure in the kitchen.

His gaze shifted, and he met Cang Lan’s dark stare—it was the undisguised hostility of a romantic rival.

The moment their eyes met, sparks flew.

Xuan Qing merely gave him a detached glance, then let out a soft chuckle and started walking away.

He had always disdained getting caught up in such petty games of jealousy, and as always, he believed one should love oneself before loving another.

When Su Mo came out after finishing cooking, Ah Nuan, her two Beast Husbands, and Su Mo’s own two Beast Husbands had already returned from outside, carrying several jars of wine.

Ah Nuan looked at her and smiled. "We were packed on our first day of business! We should celebrate properly, right?"

Su Mo’s eyes curved into crescents. "Sounds good."

Besides, there were no outsiders around tonight, so she thought it was a great idea!
