Chapter 255 Candidate

Su Xiyue looked at Feng Su's face, which was smiling so charmingly that it could bring ruin to a country, and her heart was in turmoil.

Although this show-off seems unreliable, he is indeed the best candidate to resolve the crisis in the wolf tribe right now.

She bit her lip, looked at Feng Su with a doubt in her eyes: "Are you sure you can handle your father?"

Seeing her wavering, Feng Su smiled even more broadly: "Little Yue'er, does that mean you've agreed?"

He deliberately ripped open the collar of his fiery red feathered robe, revealing his delicate, snow-white collarbone. "How about we do it now?"

The word "roll" was not uttered yet.

An angry voice rang in my ears.

"Think beautifully!"

Xuan Yuanming yanked the person away, his dark golden eyes blazing with fury. "Yue'er, don't be fooled by him. This slutty phoenix spreads its tail feathers at the sight of any female."

"My cousin is wronging me!"

Feng Su nimbly twisted and hid behind Su Xiyue, tracing circles on her bottom with her fingertips, her voice full of grievance: "I'm truly devoted to Xiaoyue, look, I even gave her my natal feather."

Ye Ling happened to be standing behind and saw it all. Her expression instantly turned cold, and she shot an icy glint from between her brows without hesitation.

"If you don't want your claws anymore, I'll chop them off for you."

His voice was so cold it sounded like it contained ice shards.

As if she had expected this, Feng Su instantly withdrew her hand, flicked her fingertips with Phoenix True Fire, and melted the ice crystals that were shooting towards her in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Mo Lin silently wrapped his snake tail around Feng Su's foot and suddenly pulled her to the ground.

Feng Su didn't pay attention to her footing and stumbled, falling to one knee in front of Su Xiyue. When she looked up, she had a captivating smile on her face: "Little Yue'er, look, I've even knelt down, which is enough to prove my sincerity, isn't it?"

Su Xiyue's lips twitched. This show-off was always flirting.

Bai Qi's brow twitched, as if he had suddenly encountered an opponent.

She's flirtatious, shameless, and has a flirtatious, manipulative air about her; sweet talk comes naturally to her…

Although he usually does this, he's not as shameless as Feng Su.

Just as the beastmen were racking their brains for a way to stop it.

Su Xiyue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Here's what we'll do: you go back to the Phoenix Clan and settle this matter first. If you succeed..."

She deliberately dragged out her words, watching Feng Su's eyes light up instantly, "I'll consider making you the seventh candidate for beast husband."

Although the hidden mission requires her to win over Feng Su, men are inherently shameless. If you agree too readily, the other party will find it boring, and it might be difficult to increase their favorability.

She hadn't forgotten what the dog system had said: she had to gain Feng Su's affection points to complete the mission.

"Candidate?"

Feng Su pouted, looking aggrieved, "There's still a probationary period?"

Bai Qi strolled forward, his smile gentle and refined: "If Young Master Feng is unwilling..."

"Of course I'm willing! Why wouldn't I be!"

Feng Su sprang to her feet with a somersault, her fiery red feather robes shimmering in the moonlight. "Wait here, I'm going back to start a hunger strike with the old man!"

He was about to transform into a phoenix and fly away when he suddenly turned back and quickly planted a kiss on Su Xiyue's forehead: "Let's stamp this, you can't run away~"

"court death!"

The six beastmen suddenly sprang into action.

Feng Su laughed loudly and transformed into a fire phoenix, soaring into the sky. As her wings swept across the treetops, several feathers were cut off by the wind blades emitted from Qingzhu's fingertips.

Feng Su shook himself, and his fiery red feathers rained down as he flew, calling out, "Father-in-law, brothers, just wait for my good news!"

The sound gradually faded into the distance and soon disappeared into the night sky.

Su Xiyue touched her forehead where she had been kissed, and it felt a little hot. Looking at the men's faces, which were as dark as the bottom of a pot, her heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the next second——

"Moon, you shouldn't have let him kiss you."

Ye Ling frowned, her silver eyes filled with displeasure.

Mo Lin's expression grew even colder: "That Feng Su doesn't look like a good person at all."

"He certainly doesn't seem like a good person."

Qingzhu echoed indifferently, a hint of coldness flashing in her emerald eyes.

Bai Qi smiled gently, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Yue'er, the young lord of the Phoenix Clan has a special status. If he truly wants to marry you, he probably won't give up easily. But if you don't like him, we won't let him succeed."

Xuanming snorted: "If that show-off dares to come again, I'll beat him to a pulp."

Xuanyuan Ming's dark golden eyes flickered slightly, as if he were thinking about something.

Su Xiyue looked at the beast husbands in front of her who were all jealous of her, and her brow twitched.

Just as she was about to explain, the system's voice suddenly sounded in her mind: "Host, Feng Su's favorability has inexplicably risen to 70. Do you want to bind him as your seventh beast husband?"

Su Xiyue: "???"

I was stunned for a second. So fast?
She didn't seem to do anything, did she?
The system chuckled: "Feng Su loves this indifferent attitude from the host. The colder you are, the more excited he gets~"

Su Xiyue: “…”

What kind of bizarre hobby is this?
"Host, would you like to bind Feng Su as your seventh beast husband now? Binding him now will instantly grant you a favorability rating of 70, entering the 'like' stage reward!"

The system couldn't help but remind her in her mind.

Her eyes flickered slightly. Since the damn system had said so, she might as well play along and see if she could max out Feng Su's favorability and complete the mission.

"Alright, let's bind it then."

Su Xiyue responded to the system in her mind, since she would have to conquer it sooner or later anyway, so binding with it early would save her trouble.

Moreover, according to the dog system, Feng Su seems to be a masochist. The more he is disliked, the more he tries to get close to him.
Wouldn't she be able to do the opposite in the future, be indifferent to this show-off, and maybe easily complete the conquest mission?

The system received the instruction and cheerfully completed the binding process: "Ding! Feng Su has been successfully bound as your seventh beast husband. Current favorability is 70. You are rewarded with a [Traditional Rice Processing Tool Set]. The reward has been placed in your system inventory. Please check it."

Hearing the system notification, she smiled slightly, feeling quite pleased.

A set of traditional rice processing tools? That's a pleasant surprise.

Fortunately, there was still some rice that Qingzhu and I had harvested in the space, so it came in handy.

Then he remembered that Qingzhu had mentioned that there was rice in the valley west of the Bird Tribe and the swamp east of the Feather Tribe.

It's already late in the harvest season, and the rice is probably ripe by now. If it's not harvested soon, it will all fall and it would be such a waste. She looked up and saw several animal laborers still staring at her expectantly, waiting for her to explain.

She cleared her throat, about to speak, when her stomach suddenly started growling.

Su Xiyue awkwardly touched her nose: "Um, shall we go eat first? After we eat, Ye Ling and Mo Lin can go to the valley west of the Bird Tribe to harvest the rice, and Qing Zhu and Xuan Yuanming can go to the swamp east of the Feather Tribe to check if the rice is still there and harvest it all."

She deliberately didn't call him Xuanming because she wanted to consummate her marriage with him, and also to get rid of the jealous guys.

The beastmen were all stunned for a moment, clearly unaware of what rice was.

Of course, except for green bamboo.

Qingzhu's emerald green eyes flickered slightly, and she instantly understood: "It's that kind of golden birdseed?"

He remembered that when they were in the Upper Realm, Yue'er dragged him to cut it for most of the night, and then treasured it and put it in her space.

What kind of birdseed?

Xuanming crossed his arms, leaned against the tree trunk, and asked with a puzzled expression.

Su Xiyue's lips twitched. "That's rice. It's edible and more filling than meat."

Ye Ling narrowed her silver eyes slightly, "More filling than meat?"

The voice clearly carried a hint of doubt.

Mo Lin added expressionlessly, "Are you sure you're not feeding birds?"

"puff--"

Xuan Yuanming couldn't help but laugh out loud, his dark golden eyes full of mockery: "Yue'er, you must have been fighting all day and are starving, right? How about I go hunting now?"

Su Xiyue rolled her eyes, too lazy to explain, and with a wave of her hand, took out a handful of golden rice from her spatial storage: "Here, this is it."

Everyone crowded closer to take a look.

Ye Ling picked up a pellet, her silver eyes flashing slightly. "This thing is edible?"

"of course."

With a flick of her fingertips, the rice husks came off, revealing the white rice inside. "Once cooked, it's soft, sticky, sweet, and incredibly filling. It tastes even better than meat and is very nourishing."

Bai Qi narrowed his beautiful fox-like eyes slightly, and a charming smile curved his lips: "Yue'er knows so much."

Xuanfeng suddenly leaned over, couldn't resist putting a grain of rice in his mouth and chewing it, then immediately spat it out with a grim expression: "How can I eat this hard thing?"

Orcs still prefer to eat meat.

Everyone: "..."

Su Xiyue sighed, "This is raw; it needs to be cooked before you can eat it."

Qingzhu couldn't help but chuckle, her emerald green eyes sparkling with laughter: "Alright, if Yue'er says it's okay to eat, then it's okay to eat. Let's just do as she says."

Ye Ling nodded, "In that case, Mo Lin and I will go to the west of the Bird Tribe, and Qing Zhu and Xuan Yuanming will go to the east of the Feather Tribe."

His silver eyes swept over Xuan Ming, his expression meaningful: "As for you..."

Xuanming looked at Ye Ling, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Of course I'll stay with Little Moon~"

Mo Lin gave him a cold glance: "Don't stay up too late, we still have work to do tomorrow."

Xuan Ming: "..."

Bai Qi chuckled, his ten snow-white fox tails swaying gracefully behind him. "In that case, I'll lead my men back to Beast King City first, and then transport some supplies over tomorrow."

After saying that, he gently took Su Xiyue's hand, his beautiful fox-like eyes filled with longing and reluctance, "Yue'er, if this brute doesn't stop, just kick him, don't hold back~"

She burst out laughing instantly, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons: "Okay, I understand."

Xuan Ming's face darkened instantly. He glared at Bai Qi, his voice rising eight octaves in an instant: "You sly fox, do you deserve a beating?"

Bai Qi chuckled and looked at Xuan Ming, "I'm just reminding you to be moderate. Yue'er has been tired all night. You are his beast husband, so you should be considerate."

He ignored the gnashing teeth of the defiant Xuan Ming, turned around, and left with the people from Beast King City.

Bai Qi was also a cunning and sly fox; even before leaving, he didn't forget to sow discord between Xuan Ming and Bai Qi.

This made Su Xiyue smile, finding it amusing.

After a long day of work, I was covered in blood and mud.

It felt sticky and uncomfortable.

"I'm going to take a bath by the lake."

She stretched and turned to walk towards the lake.

Xuanming's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed: "Little Moon, I'll go with you."

Ye Ling narrowed her silver eyes and took a step to stop him, but Mo Lin reached out and grabbed her.

"It's his turn tonight."

Mo Lin reminded him expressionlessly.

Ye Ling snorted coldly and didn't stop her after all, but she was still unhappy inside.

Qingzhu's emerald green eyes swept over Xuanming's excited back, her fingertip slicing off a branch with a wind blade, and she said calmly, "Don't go too far."

Xuanming waved his hand without turning his head: "I know, you dead bamboo."

.........

The moonlight shone like water on the lakeside.

Su Xiyue took off her animal skin skirt, stepped barefoot into the cool lake water, and sighed comfortably.

The water rippled, reflecting her slender figure.

Xuanming approached silently, hugged her from behind, and breathed hot air into her ear: "Little Moon, I've been waiting for this day for so long."

She already knew that Xuanming had followed, but she didn't care and let him carry her.

She frowned slightly when she smelled the blood and sweat on him, turned around and pushed him away: "What's the rush? Wash yourself clean first."

Xuanming was as happy as a child, holding her and spinning her around in the water, creating a splash.

"Okay, let's wash together."

In the blink of an eye, he stripped off his animal skin skirt and was completely naked.

Su Xiyue: “…”
