Oops! My Beast Mates Can Hear My Inner Voice

Su Mo applied some ointment before going downstairs.

The marks had clearly faded a little, but they were still quite noticeable if you looked closely.

A voice suddenly echoed in her mind: "Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a new Tie Pattern. The System gifts you one Soul Guardian Totem. You may view it by gently stroking your left wrist."

Sitting in Yue Ying’s arms, Su Mo’s eyes lit up. "A new toy?" She raised her hand and gently caressed a faint rose pattern on her wrist. In an instant, a brilliant, dazzling golden light, radiant as the breaking dawn, burst forth, filling the entire room with its blinding glow.

As her fingers passed over it, the dazzling light receded like a tide, and the dark pattern quietly submerged beneath her skin, vanishing without a trace.

Su Mo asked in her mind, "What does it do?"

Little Nine: "It’s super useful! Not only can it protect you to a certain extent, but it also has some offensive capabilities. The Totem comes with its own Illusion Technique, hypnosis, and Memory Manipulation functions. It can even help you fight off enemies~"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow. "Illusion Technique, hypnosis? Memory Manipulation? Sounds pretty good."

Yue Ying was also surprised to hear Su Mo’s thoughts. ’Looks like my wife’s arsenal has been upgraded? That’s great!’

’That Little Nine is actually useful for something.’

Little Nine continued, "The Totem will continue to level up. You should work hard, Host, and try to unlock new functions~ From my perspective, that Xuan Qing is a prime-quality prospect. He’s the highest Level among your Beast Husbands!"

Su Mo frowned. "Can you stop playing matchmaker? Why don’t you open your eyes and take a good look? Does Xuan Qing look like the type to indulge in romance?"

Yue Ying’s hand on her waist suddenly tightened. ’I just praised that Little Nine for one second, and now he’s stirring up trouble!’

’That damn thing! Trying to incite my wife to go after my love rival!!!’

Su Mo continued her conversation with Little Nine. "I’m not interested in an ice block like Xuan Qing. You’re better off getting me some medicine that can strengthen my husbands’ bodies. It’d be better to just level up the ones I have now."

"Easy! My performance has been great recently! The boss is being very generous!"

Soon, a bag of pills dropped into her System Space.

Little Nine: "Host, the pills have been placed in your pouch. One pill at a time, once every half a month!"

Su Mo excitedly felt the pouch at her waist. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen pills inside.

She took one out and sniffed it. ’They really used good ingredients. This stuff is potent!’

Su Mo directly stuffed the pill into Yue Ying’s mouth. "Eat."

Yue Ying frowned. ’With a body like his, does he still need supplements?’

’But since my wife wants me to, I guess I’ll take it.’

He squinted his eyes in a smile, lowering his head to take both the pill and her fingers into his mouth.

It sent a subtle electric current through her.

Su Mo’s cheeks instantly flushed red, and she tried to pull away.

But in a daze, she was pressed onto the bed by him.

Yue Ying brushed a strand of hair from her cheek, his smile bewitching and seductive. "My wife gave me something good, so I should properly repay my wife, shouldn’t I?"

Su Mo’s eyes flew wide. "Don’t you dare try anything!"

Yue Ying frowned, looking at her with a wronged expression. "When have I ever tried anything? You’re framing me again. You deserve to be punished!"

With that, he pinned her to the bed and began to torment her once more, though he didn’t dare to be too unrestrained.

’After all, he didn’t want to end up on the blacklist for night-time duties.’

By the time Yue Ying came downstairs with his arm around her, Fei Yan and Ye Yuan had already finished making dinner.

Su Mo’s gaze met Fei Yan’s gentle eyes. Fei Yan smiled. "Time to eat."

Ye Yuan walked over, took Su Mo’s hand, and said, "Wife, I made a dish today. You have to try it."

Su Mo’s eyes curved into a smile. "Okay!"

"Then wait here, I’ll go get the dish!"

After saying that, Ye Yuan ran off like a gust of wind.

Su Mo stood there and glanced around. Cang Lan was standing nearby, watching her with a somewhat guilty look in his eyes.

She started walking over to him. "Is your injury any better?"

Cang Lan held out his arm, his furry ear tips showing as his face reddened slightly. "I’d like my wife to help me apply the medicine."

"Alright, sit down."

Su Mo took the medicine from his palm and ordered, "Take off your clothes."

Cang Lan swiftly took off his clothes and sat down obediently.

Su Mo carefully applied the medicine for him, then helped him put his clothes back on.

Just as she was about to pull her hand away, he grabbed her by the wrist. In a low, soft voice, he said, "It’s my fault I didn’t protect my wife."

Su Mo chuckled and shook her head. "The enemy was just too cunning. How could this be your fault? He wanted to capture me, so he would have found an opportunity eventually. It has nothing to do with who was by my side."

"But..." Su Mo’s tone suddenly turned serious. "If a situation like this happens again, you must remember: in a moment of crisis, the first person you should protect is yourself. I can never become a shackle that binds any of your will to survive."

Cang Lan’s brows furrowed deeply. He gazed at her with a heavy look, a turbulent undercurrent of thoughts surging within him.

’He could listen to her about anything else, but not this.’

Su Mo gave Cang Lan another pill, instructing him to take it after his injuries healed to raise his Level.

She looked up and saw Xuan Qing leaning against a tree not far away.

The man was still dressed in plain robes. His gaze on her was as calm as still water—seemingly clear to the bottom, but in reality, unfathomably deep.

There seemed to be faint scars on his exposed wrist.

Su Mo walked over and said politely, "Third Young Master, I haven’t had the chance to thank you for yesterday."

With that, she casually tossed him a medicine bottle. "This is for your injuries."

Xuan Qing raised his hand and caught the small porcelain bottle.

His clear, deep eyes locked onto her. In a calm, unruffled tone, he asked, "Miss Su, do you always practice such preferential treatment?"

Su Mo froze.

"Is this how you thank everyone?"

"Or perhaps, I should ask what my status in this home is. Exactly... what am I to you, Miss?"

"..."

’What does he mean? Doesn’t he know what his own status is?!’

’Oh, right. I should give him a pill too. After all, he counts as my fiancé now. I can’t be showing favoritism!’

Thinking this, Su Mo tossed him another pill.

Then she narrowed her eyes and said, "The Third Young Master gets a share too."

Xuan Qing caught it, frowning. "That’s not what I was talking about."

Su Mo: "..."

’Not this, and not that? Then what is it?! He doesn’t want me to apply his medicine for him, does he?’

’Is he deliberately trying to disgust me? That must be it!’

’If that’s the case, then I’ll just have to disgust him right back!’

An idea suddenly struck Su Mo, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.

She took a step forward, her expression completely frank. "The Third Young Master is my fiancé. It’s not like I can’t help with something like applying medicine. Take it off. I’ll do it for you!"

’Trying to compete with me? A stinky scholar like him is still too green~ It’s not like I’m the one losing out! Who’s afraid of whom! If I can’t scare him off, then it’s my loss!’

Xuan Qing stood without moving.

Su Mo blinked. "Too embarrassed to take it off? Shall I help you?"

As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes. "I just love helping people!"

Saying this, Su Mo went to help him undo his robes. From start to finish, Xuan Qing didn’t move a single inch, standing as still as a pine tree in the snow.

Su Mo suddenly became a little nervous.

’Damn it, why isn’t he moving! He can’t possibly think I don’t have the guts, can he? Well then, I’ll just have to show him! He’s the one forcing my hand! It’s not like I wanted to do this...’

The instant Su Mo’s hand was about to touch the sash of his robes, she felt a sudden coldness at her waist.

Before she could react, she fell into a familiar embrace that emanated a chilly aura.

She turned her head and met Mo Xiao’s deep eyes.

Mo Xiao held her tightly in his arms, a flash of jealousy flickering in his eyes.

’Su Mo felt that the stinky snake’s atmospheric pressure was a little low right now, which was a bit scary...’

Like a child who had done something wrong, she huddled in his embrace, not daring to move.

Mo Xiao’s calm gaze collided with Xuan Qing’s across the distance. For a moment, it was as if sparks of cold light flew, and in that instant, even the wind around them seemed to stop.
