Chapter 206 - 178: Plenty of Strength and Methods

For some reason, Su Mo wanted to laugh.

’I was just talking to someone for a moment. Did he have to get so jealous? It’s as endearing as it is ridiculous...’

Ye Yuan pursed his lips, giving her a pitiful, wronged look. It seemed he was on the verge of tears again.

Su Mo shot him a sharp look, and he managed to force the tears back, staring at her pitifully with his shimmering, light-blue eyes.

That pathetic little look instantly melted Su Mo’s heart.

’Oh, forget it. I’m done with this conversation. Time to go comfort my little Mermaid.’

Su Mo quickly wrapped up her conversation and sent the person away.

Yue Ying, who was standing in the corner, breathed a sigh of relief. ’Looks like that little Mermaid Ye Yuan’s tears are pretty effective! With the rival gone, even the air feels fresher! That silly leopard has gotten pretty crafty too, managing to win over our wife with just one pearl! Looks like I’ve really underestimated my rivals in the past!!!’

Su Mo started walking towards Ye Yuan. Seeing his reddened eyes, she reached down and picked up a small pearl from the ground.

Her tone was exasperated. "Stop crying. Any more and our warehouse won’t be able to hold them all. You’re all so jealous all the time, I ought to just pickle every one of you in a vinegar vat!"

’This tendency to cry is really in his blood. If he were to give birth to a few little Mermaids, wouldn’t this house turn into an ocean of pearls?’

Ye Yuan sniffled. "I’m not... I’m not jealous..."

Su Mo chuckled, pointing at the small pearls scattered all over the floor. "Then care to explain these?"

Ye Yuan looked at her pitifully. "I... I just don’t like it when wife looks at that Little Wolf Man. Wife, you’ve looked at him more than you’ve looked at me today..."

As he spoke, his tears welled up, and he was about to cry more pearls.

Su Mo quickly popped a piece of candy into his mouth, coaxing him with a helpless smile. "There, there, don’t cry. If you cry anymore, your abs will shrink."

Ye Yuan’s lips pouted. For a second he wanted to cry even more, but he took a deep breath and held it in.

’Abs are wife’s favorite. They can’t shrink...’

Looking at his adorable appearance, Su Mo’s mood lifted immensely.

’Teasing my little Mermaid is such a fun pastime!’

Ye Yuan watched the way her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He blinked and said, "Wife, I want a kiss."

A few days ago, when it was his turn, she said she was exhausted and told him that a good Beast Husband should be considerate of his wife.

He thought what his wife said made sense, so he held himself back all night and spent the next morning soaking in his pool... thinking he would wait until next time to serve her properly.

But it wasn’t his turn tonight... It still wasn’t him!

’I really can’t take it anymore!’

Before Su Mo could react, he reached out, scooped her up, and trapped her in a secluded corner, away from prying eyes.

A moment later, Ye Yuan’s cloyingly sweet kiss descended upon her.

Cang Lan, who had followed them with narrowed eyes, flicked a small pearl directly at the little Mermaid’s head.

’Wife is mine tonight!’

’He can forget about cutting in line!’

The moment Ye Yuan cried out in pain, Su Mo ran off, blushing.

’Ye Yuan’s personality was so unpredictable these days. One moment he’s the picture of obedience, the next he’s pouncing on you like a beast... It’s impossible to keep your guard up!’

’A simple kiss feels like he’s trying to devour you. It’s just too much...’

Su Mo stumbled and fell into a strong embrace, then felt a scorching palm clamp down on her waist.

She looked up and met Cang Lan’s burning gaze.

The dark gleam in his eyes was clearly visible. He blushed and said, "Wife, tonight is my turn. Let’s go back to our room now, okay?"

Su Mo’s eyes suddenly widened. ’Have they all gone crazy?!’

’Are you kidding me? If I go to the room with him now, I can forget about leaving for the rest of the day! How have they gotten even more intense than when we were first married?!’

...

Later, Su Mo managed to coax Cang Lan into going up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables. This leopard might seem silly and foolish on a normal day, but at certain times... he had plenty of strength and tricks.

’So I’d better make him burn off some of that energy in advance!’

"Cang Lan, I want that flower~"

"Go dig up that medicinal herb for me!"

"I want the one on the mountaintop, too!"

Following Su Mo’s string of commands, Cang Lan circled the mountain peak again and again.

By the time he returned to Su Mo’s side with all the things she’d asked for, he was dripping with sweat. Su Mo figured that was probably enough, so she led him back.

On their way down the mountain, they passed by a hot spring. Before Su Mo could even react, the man beside her jumped in with a SPLASH.

Immediately after, all of his clothes were tossed at her feet.

Su Mo just went ahead and washed the wild fruits, then sat down beside the spring to openly admire the view.

’My little leopard’s body is simply stunning!’

’Tsk! His abs are my favorite part!!!’
