Chapter 128: Fox's Jealousy

After eating, Mo Xiao went back to the Snake Clan, mainly to see if they had identified any suspicious persons.

Su Mo gave him some medicinal powder, scattering it at the North Wing Border; anyone from outside clans passing through would surely be caught in the act.

That is a gadget just released from the System Laboratory.

With this, the investigation will be easier.

Fei Yan originally planned to accompany Su Mo to the Tribe Chief's residence, but before they could even set out, he was summoned away by someone from the clan.

They said they had something for him to handle, and he glanced at Su Mo.

Su Mo frowned and said, "You go first, I'll..."

Yue Ying immediately smiled and said, "I'll accompany the Wife Master to the Tribe Chief's residence shortly."

Fei Yan nodded and said, "Alright."

After he left not long, Su Mo and Yue Ying hurried to the Tribe Chief's residence.

Huang Ming had been there; seeing Su Mo approach, he immediately went to meet her.

He told her the current condition of the Tribe Chief and his wife.

Su Mo examined their injuries, then prepared some medicine to adjust the toxins inside their bodies.

Before leaving, she also took some of their blood, preparing to send it to the laboratory for study.

Then she went to meet the Third Young Master of the Tiger Clan.

Xuan Qing still had that calm and composed demeanor; his gaze toward Su Mo was tranquil and unwavering.

When his gaze swept over the deep and shallow marks on her neck, his eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.

Su Mo took his pulse, then pulled out a pill from her pouch and handed it over, saying, "Third Young Master, if you trust me, take this first..."

Before she could finish, Xuan Qing swallowed the pill she had offered.

Soon the medicine's effect spread through his five viscera and six bowels; he frowned and said, "Thank you, Miss Su. I'm really sorry, coming out for a drink has troubled you."

Su Mo felt like rolling her eyes.

【This person speaks polite words on the surface, but his tone shows no trace of apology.】

She tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "It's my fault as the host for not taking proper care, causing the Third Young Master to suffer here. It's truly not my intention; the one who should apologize is me."

Xuan Qing gave a faint smile: "Miss Su, since you have such self-awareness, I won't say more. No need for apologies; please just put extra effort into preparing good medicine to heal my wound quickly and release me."

Su Mo: "......"

【This person is also shameless! He lay there covered in blood for no reason near the Tribe Chief's house, becoming a suspect, which is entirely his own fault for being careless and underestimating the enemy! How did it become my fault?!】

Seeing Su Mo's reaction, Xuan Qing couldn't help but chuckle again: "Miss Su, not speaking—what does that mean? You know you're wrong but won't admit it?"

Su Mo gritted her teeth.

【Here we go again! Don't even think about lecturing this young lady!】

Su Mo, eyes smiling, said, "Third Young Master, you'd better stay in the Tiger Clan next time; with your talent for causing trouble, I don't even know who to blame."

"Indeed, my appearance ultimately disturbed Miss Su's indulgence in the boudoir. Truly my fault; this matter came at an inconvenient time."

"......" Su Mo gritted her teeth, forcing a smile: "Looking at your demeanor, you probably aren't in a hurry to leave either. Take your time waiting; once the matter is clarified, you'll naturally be released."

Xuan Qing nodded, his tone overly calm: "No rush, welcome Miss Su to visit me often; perhaps we'll find an opportunity to discuss the details of that book you gave me."

Su Mo bit her lip.

【This damned fellow truly holds a grudge! All I did was give him a copy of the 'Qing Xin Zhou'—is that really necessary?!】

Xiao Jiu chimed in: "Host, are you sure you gave him the Qing Xin Zhou??"

A flash of guilt crossed Su Mo's face; she blinked and remained silent.

She had altered the content of the Qing Xin Zhou, but a true man, how could he lack such magnanimity...

Yue Ying, who had been silent beside her for a long time, was now growing increasingly irritable.

What book exactly did the Wife Master give this Third Young Master?

He fanned himself, feigning nonchalance: "I don't know what the Third Young Master wishes to discuss with our Wife Master; why not tell me?"

Upon hearing that, Su Mo instinctively turned her head to look at him.

【That damned fox really stirs up trouble where it isn't needed—why does he insist on meddling for no reason?!】

Before she could speak, Xuan Qing said in a light tone: "The book is called Qing Xin Zhou; as for the content, Miss Su, you tell us."

"......" Su Mo slightly widened her eyes, a bit guilty: "It's nothing much—just teaches people to restrain desires and be indifferent to fame and profit! The Third Young Master is pure-hearted and ascetic, a saintly figure; reading such a book... is most fitting."

Xuan Qing raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly: "Indeed, it's a good book. However, Miss Su is even more suited to it. Restraining arrogance and desire is a lifelong pursuit; but Miss Su, now surrounded by handsome men, don't let joy make you forget your roots."

Su Mo stiffly tugged at the corner of her mouth.

【This damned Third Young Master, is he mocking me for indulging in lust? I and he are surely ill-fated; otherwise why does every encounter end with him throwing shade at me like this?!】

Yue Ying guarded his gaze sweeping over the Third Young Master, lightly curling his lips: "Wife Master, let's get back to the matter at hand."

Su Mo tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "Extend your hand, I'll give you a needle!"

Xuan Qing gave a light chuckle and extended his wrist.

Su Mo pulled out a silver needle from beside her; before she could even administer it, she saw him clench his fist again: "Miss Su, you won't realize your own fault and will seek revenge at the first chance, will you?"

His voice was low and smooth, like deep still water, yet it easily provoked Su Mo to grit her teeth.

【Forget it, this young lady won't quarrel with such a petty person!】

After Su Mo administered the needle, Yue Ying hurriedly urged the person to come out from inside.

Just thinking about the Third Young Master's meaningful gaze made his chest feel suffocated.

By now, Yue Ying had been pestering Su Mo, asking eight hundred times what that book's content actually was.

Su Mo, unable to endure his nagging, glared at him: "If you keep pestering me like this, I'll... I'll just stop talking to you altogether!"

【It's just a book; is such curiosity really necessary? I merely replaced the content of the Qing Xin Zhou with the Pursue Wife Thirty-Six Moves—there's just a little explosive stuff in it……】

【Who asked Xuan Qing to pose as lofty, always putting on an air of transcending worldly affairs, pure-hearted and ascetic, as if everyone else in his eyes were mere mortals? I originally just wanted to see if his frosty face could show a hint of anger… Who would have thought he holds such a grudge!】

"Wife Master, you!" Yue Ying glared, eyes wide with anger.

Su Mo looked at him doubtfully: "What? Me?"

【Dead Fox is inexplicably angry… I clearly didn't provoke him at all~】

!!!

Yue Ying was so angry he couldn't speak; in his view, her leaving that kind of book for Xuan Qing was nothing but teaching that Third Young Master to chase after herself?!

He frowned: "Go get the book back! I want to see it!"

Su Mo furrowed her brows and shook her head: "No!"

Go get it!

Just won't.

【There's no logic in taking back something you've given away… Besides, it was originally meant to anger Xuan Qing…】

Yue Ying and Su Mo tangled all the way to the home courtyard; Su Mo spotted a white figure crouching by the roadside in the distance.

Her steps halted, she wondered.

【That cat wasn't it gone? How did it come back again?!】

Before she could think further, Yue Ying scooped her up and flashed to his own room.

Su Mo was trapped by him at the head of the bed; he lowered his head and gave a fierce kiss.

She struggled to get away, panting, and asked: "You… what are you doing?"

Yue Ying's eyes reddened, his tone resentful: "Are you going to get that book back or not?"

Su Mo pressed her lips together and shook her head, trying to escape his embrace.

Little did she know, a flick of the fox's tail and she easily fell back into his arms again.

Yue Ying frowned at her: "Wife Master, you're so disobedient, you deserve punishment!"

Su Mo stared wide-eyed in shock, thinking: "You're simply overturning the natural order!"

Before she could speak, he lowered his head and sealed her lips.
