Chapter 126: I Want to Divorce My Husband
The tribe chief invited the Tiger Tribe steward and the Dragon Clan minor general who were visiting his home, and the news quickly spread throughout the North Wing.
Originally the three tribes had little interaction, and earlier the Dragon Clan and the North Wing had some conflicts, so they hardly interacted in private.
Now, because of Su Mo, the relationship between the two tribes has eased considerably, so the North Wing tribe chief wants to take this opportunity to further improve their relations.
If they could become friends, that would be best. After all, when the Tiger Clan was recently ambushed, the North Wing tribe chief had also heard quite a bit about it.
If it weren't for the Dragon Clan coming to their rescue, it's hard to say whether the Tiger Clan would still exist today.
This incident also served as a reminder to him that he should continue to interact more with the other two tribes, since who knows what will happen in the future.
The Dragon Clan military advisor, knowing the minor general didn't want to leave temporarily, let the two dragon cubs stay to keep him company, while he and Lan Ling returned first.
As for Xuan Shuang's side, Bai Chi and Tian Huan were sent back to the Tiger Tribe first, while she, Xuan Wei, and Xuan Qing remained for a few more days.
They also wanted to improve relations, after all, if it weren't for Miss Su, the outcome of the previous incident would be hard to predict for them.
When Xuan Wei came out of the North Wing tribe chief's study, she happened to bump into Xuan Qing and Jin Yan.
Glancing at Xuan Qing's dirty clothes, she couldn't help but frown and ask, "What happened?"
Xuan Qing shook his head: "I just went out for a stroll."
Xuan Wei didn't think much of it.
She actually really wanted to go up North Wing Mountain to look for herbs that the Tiger Tribe doesn't have.
It would be best to have Miss Su accompany her for this, but Miss Su has been unavailable these past two days.
After lunch, the tribe chief had someone take them to rest.
On the way, the two dragon cubs tugged at Long Yan's sleeve and asked, "When exactly can we go find Sister Mo~"
"I miss her so much! Minor General, don't you miss her?"
Long Yan lifted his eyes and happened to meet Xuan Shuang's half-smiling gaze, and he couldn't help but let out a light chuckle.
Long Yan felt a bit embarrassed, tugged at his lips, and whispered to the two little ones: "Don't talk nonsense."
"What nonsense am I spouting? You staying here isn't just to catch another glimpse of Sister Mo, is it? Hurry up, the military advisor said if you don't seize the chance, even Sixth Elder's position could be taken from you!"
"No more nonsense, hurry up!" Long Yan, blushing, scooped up the two kids and dashed out of the courtyard.
Xuan Shuang tilted her head, glanced at Xuan Wei, and smiled: "The minor general's two little cubs are quite interesting too."
Xuan Wei nodded, glanced toward Xuan Qing, and said: "We really could use two more like them; otherwise our progress could be faster."
I don't know if Xuan Qing, not far off, heard that, but all I saw was him walking away with a blank expression.
Xuan Wei watched his back and shook her head: "Look at him—I really doubt his red string of fate was even attached at birth."
Xuan Shuang snorted and laughed: "Don't worry, if he's sincere, he doesn't need anyone's help."
Not long after they left the courtyard, Feiyun came over.
The tribe chief's wife looked at his expression and immediately knew what he wanted to say.
She frowned and waved her hand: "Don't even think about your thing with Miss Su; find someone more suitable."
Before Su Mo had recovered her appearance, this kid was already obsessed; now that Su Mo has regained her looks, it's even worse.
These past few days, she's also been annoyed by him to no small degree.
Feiyun stood there with a dejected face: "Auntie, can't you help me say a few good words?"
The tribe chief's wife frowned: "Take a look yourself—what kind of people are surrounding Su Mo these days? With your personality, how could you compete?"
"I'm your aunt, so I can't help but advise you. Rather than later being neglected and growing resentful, it's better to let go now! If you keep being obstinate, you'll suffer for it."
Feiyun drooped his ears and remained silent.
The tribe chief frowned: "Just stay with Doctor Huang Mingwu for now; when you meet a suitable female later, I and your aunt will help you decide."
"No!" Feiyun turned and ran out of the courtyard in a flash.
The tribe chief's wife looked at his retreating back and sighed helplessly: "This child."
The tribe chief sighed: "It's just a child's nature; it'll probably get better after a while."
After the Return Banquet ended on the third day, the three siblings Xuan Shuang came to see them off, saying they planned to leave early the next morning.
Before departing, Xuan Wei took Su Mo's pulse again and discussed the timing for the next dose of medicine.
After leaving the courtyard, Xuan Shuang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Can we finally confirm her true identity this time?"
Xuan Wei shook her head: "She has no trace of martial power in her body, or perhaps it's because the poison has eroded her nature for too long."
Xuan Shuang furrowed her brows and said nothing more.
After all, this isn't very important right now; what matters is Su Miss's detoxification ability.
On the third night after their wedding, Mo Xiao, compared to the previous two nights… was somewhat crazy.
He kept making her call him "husband" over and over, then repeatedly found new ways to torment her.
Su Mo tried every trick, recalling all those little sweet nothings in her mind, but tonight he seemed deliberately intent on not letting her sleep well.
"I didn't hear clearly, Mo Mo say it again?"
"Mo'er sounds so nice, can you say it again?"
"Good~ don't stop, I love hearing you say these things to me……"
Su Mo's voice went hoarse from coaxing, but he still wouldn't let up.
She realized that each time she coaxed him, he became even more unhinged!
She bit her lip, suppressing the broken sounds between her teeth and lips, and softly protested: "You said you wouldn't bully me, wouldn't go too far!"
From her ear came his intermittent voice: "But the Wife Master also said that after detoxing, she would let me enjoy myself to the fullest. Could it be that the Wife Master intends to be someone who goes back on her word?"
"……"
【Excessive! When he cooperates with my coaxing, it's all 'Mo'er, Mo Mo, good Mo'er'~ but when I demand he keep his promise, it's all 'Wife Master this, Wife Master that'!】
Mo Xiao chuckled low: "How about you coax me again, Mo'er?"
Su Mo gritted her teeth—he had heard this line no less than ten times tonight! No coaxing, I absolutely won't coax again! Every time I coax him, he gets even more worked up!
Later, no matter how Mo Xiao coaxed and deceived her, Su Mo simply refused to speak again.
Unfortunately, the higher the Dao, the higher the demon; that person always had a way to make her open her mouth…
In the latter part of the night, Su Mo could barely hold on; she embraced him and softly begged: "Good husband, obedient husband, dear snake, fragrant snake~ Let's rest~"
As a person, when it's time to admit defeat, one must still admit it… I can't take it, really can't take it.
If I let him continue causing trouble like this, how will I be able to go out and meet people tomorrow?
From above came a low chuckle from Mo Xiao; he turned sideways, lay down, and embraced her.
Su Mo, in a daze, heard Xiao Jiu's mocking voice: "Host, you need to practice more if you're unskilled~ With such a sparring partner, you won't fear failing to level up~"
She instantly gritted her teeth in anger: "You damn trap! He's trying to take my life!!! I now suspect that on the day I drew lots, did you give him a heads-up?"
Xiao Jiu: "Wronged, host! My loyalty to you is as clear as the sun and moon…… Don't take advantage and then act innocent~"
Su Mo wanted to cry but had no tears: "He simply doesn't listen to me; I said I couldn't choose him as Right Husband… I want to divorce him! Tomorrow I'll have Fei Yan dissolve the contract!"
Before Xiao Jiu could speak, he was once again smeared with a mosaic across his face……
Xiao Jiu: Ah…… Is this? Still not over???
When Su Mo sensed that the person beside her wanted to make a comeback, she immediately used both hands and feet to try to crawl out.
Before she could get off the bed, the snake tail coiled her back, trapping her again beneath him.
Mo Xiao's deep eyes fixed on her, his tone dangerous: "Mo'er, did you regret choosing me as Right Husband?"
Su Mo slightly widened her eyes, shook her head firmly: "No, no! Not at all!"
"Then you want to divorce him?"
"…!!!" 【Does the stinky snake also have the Peeping Heart Technique?!】
Mo Xiao let out a soft chuckle and asked: "Wife Master, what reason do you want to use to cast me aside? Tell the Tribe Chief it's because you lack stamina?"
His tone paused, then grew even lower and more alluring: "Or perhaps you tell others it's because in bed… you can't endure my… those underhanded, overreaching tactics?"
Su Mo blushed and shook her head: "I, I didn't!"
Seeing the storm brewing in his eyes, she gritted her teeth and resolved: "Xiao Xiao is so adorable, how could I want to divorce him? I can't even keep up with liking him~"
Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow: "How to prove it?"
"……"
Su Mo suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Alright…"
Before she could finish speaking, he pressed down on her again.
"Let me properly tell Mo'er whether it works or not."
……
Only when the sky began to lighten did Su Mo fall asleep.
When Mo Xiao got up, she was sleeping deeply.
As he went out, he happened to encounter Yue Ying and Fei Yan standing in the courtyard.
Both of their expressions were somewhat solemn.
After Yue Ying glanced at the marks on Mo Xiao's neck, she couldn't help but grit her teeth in hatred: "The stinky snake tormented the Wife Master so fiercely on his final night!"
In the days that followed, how could anyone else get a word in edgewise? This scheming is truly over the top!
Fei Yan glanced at Mo Xiao, furrowed his brows, and said: "Something has happened over at the Tribe Chief's side."
Mo Xiao frowned; at half past twelve at night he had actually faintly heard noises outside, but he couldn't get away then.
"The Tribe Chief and Chief's Wife are both seriously wounded and unconscious now; judging from the wounds, the Tiger Clan won't be able to disentangle themselves from this anytime soon."
Mo Xiao frowned: "How is the investigation going now?"
Yue Ying shook his fan and said: "Xuan Wei and Xuan Shuang have alibis and were merely under surveillance, but that Third Young Master Xuan Qing has already been detained. He himself is rather calm, but it's ultimately a trouble."
Mo Xiao frowned; indeed it was troublesome.
