Chapter 145

Jin Tong staggered back, frowning at the person before him.

Lin Shan wanted to step forward, but Xuan Qing restrained his movement.

Su Mo pressed the long sword in her hand hard into Jin Tong's chest, deep into his heart, until she herself felt waves of sharp dull pain, then she pretended nothing was wrong, drew out the sword, and tossed it aside.

She just wanted to know whether she would be affected if he died.

Or what kind of injury he would have to sustain for her to feel something.

Now she knows, and it still hurts, so it's best to unbind him before killing him! Or, first dispel his bond to her.

It's obvious Jin Tong also wants to know.

Now that Su Mo and he are linked by lifelines, if he dies, how will she be affected?

But just now looking at her expression, she seemed unaffected. So, he is restrained by her, yet she is not affected at all?

This realization made Jin Tong somewhat displeased.

He lowered his head to look at the wound; just then, if her sword tip had gone in another inch, it could really have taken his life!

Females are truly the most untrustworthy creatures in this world!

He suppressed the urge to kill Su Mo immediately, took out a Detox Pill from his waist, and suppressed the toxin in his body.

He gazed darkly at the person before him, really wanting to kill her!

But now he cannot let her die, at least not before he detoxifies.

Su Mo said coldly: "This sword is retribution for your torture of Cang Lan! I warned you not to touch my people!"

Jin Tong's subordinates wanted to rush at Su Mo.

Knocked down easily by a few ice cones from Ye Yuan, Su Mo raised an eyebrow at Jin Tong's eager soldiers.

She sneered: "Now your master's life is in my palm! If I die, he will surely die too! From now on, when you see me, you must treat me as respectfully as you would him, or I have plenty of ways to make his life worse than death! Protecting me is protecting him; harming me is harming him!"

Lin Shan widened his eyes and retorted: "What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Su Mo snorted: "Just look at the chafing on his neck and the whip marks on his waist—if they're the same as mine, you'll know!"

Lin Shan looked doubtfully at the chafing on Jin Tong's neck, then at the calm master, and wore an expression of disbelief.

He muttered uncontrollably: "How could this be..."

Su Mo, too lazy to explain further, tossed him a packet of medicine: "I'll temporarily keep you from dying; these medicines will keep you safe for ten days. After you finish them, go to the North Wing to find me."

Su Mo didn't expect Jin Tong to actually obey her; such a pervert would never meekly follow orders.

But she has plenty of ways to make him fight Jiang Wu.

Having him tangle with Jiang Wu is, for her, a maximal use of waste!

"From now on, be polite when you see me, otherwise I can't guarantee how your master will die!"

After Su Mo finished warning them, she led the people down the mountain.

Mo Xiao turned back to glance at Jin Tong; although he really wanted to kill him, he couldn't yet.

Just thinking about this pervert being linked to the Wife Master's lifeline, the nameless anger in his chest surged uncontrollably.

As Su Mo's group descended the mountain, they ran into the tribe's Military Advisor leading soldiers who had come to assist.

A Nuan, Huang Ming, Feiyun… and some of the people Su Mo had saved before were present.

It looked like they intended to go support.

At this moment, seeing Su Mo return safely, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They gathered around Su Mo for a moment, saw she was unharmed, and then left.

Only A Nuan, Huang Ming, and Feiyun remained.

Huang Ming was still as before, never missing a chance to ask questions.

Finally, Feiyun whispered a reminder: "Shaman Doctor, Miss Su has just returned; let her rest first. Any questions can be asked later."

Su Mo gave Feiyun a grateful look; Feiyun couldn't help showing his cute wolf ears, and Su Mo couldn't help blinking.

【Wow, Feiyun this little wolf person is still as adorable as ever~】

Yue Ying secretly gritted his teeth, heartless!

After being apart for several days, her first words upon returning were to praise an irrelevant person? It practically wants to make him die of anger!

Look again at that little wolf person across from him—his eyes practically want to stick to his Wife Master!

Yue Ying put on a gentle smile and issued a dismissal: "Thank you for your concern, the Wife Master is really tired; any words can be said another day."

Huang Ming gave an embarrassed smile, rose, and bade farewell.

After seeing off the people in the courtyard, Xuan Wei and Xuan Shuang finally spoke with Su Mo.

Su Mo said apologetically: "I'm really sorry to trouble you two sisters to run an errand for my sake."

Xuan Shuang raised her brows: "Since you call me sister, I cannot possibly ignore your affairs!"

Su Mo smiled: "Rest assured, ladies; when Jin Tong comes next time, I'll have him go before the Tribe Chief in person to clear things up, then the Third Young Master's suspicion can be completely cleared."

Xuan Shuang's face lit up, she was about to speak, but then heard Su Mo continue.

"By then, my engagement to the Third Young Master can be canceled."

"Ah~" Xuan Shuang held back her smile, suddenly feeling that it's fine even if Xuan Qing's suspicion isn't cleared.

She narrowed her eyes: "No rush; he's a proper man, what's a little stigma? It's just trivial."

Beside him, Yue Ying's mouth twitched; back then, that good sister of the Third Young Master forced the Wife Master to take Xuan Qing as a fiancé, and she cried miserably.

Now, hearing they want to break the engagement, it's suddenly a trivial matter?

Tsk, this fickleness really makes one look at them anew.

"Since the younger sister is fine, I and the elder sister will take the people back first."

"Won't you have a meal before leaving?"

"No, no! The tribe still has matters to handle! This big bunch of people is hard to arrange; we need to hurry back."

Yue Ying thought, "Is this Second Miss afraid to stay for a meal, so Wife Master and she continue talking about dissolving the marriage?"

Su Mo originally intended to get up and see someone off, but Xuan Shuang politely declined.

"You've been up all night, rest; let Xuan Qing see me off."

Not far away, Xuan Qing, who had been leaning against the tree for half a day, walked over unhurriedly and said to Su Mo, "I'll go."

Su Mo wondered if perhaps they siblings wanted to say something private.

After leaving the courtyard, Xuan Wei frowned and began to lecture Xuan Qing: "You'd better cheer up, our Xuan family has never in three hundred years produced a Beast Husband divorced by the Wife Master! If you dare set this precedent, you'll see I will break your legs!"

Xuan Qing wore a calm expression, his amber eyes like an ancient well, making Xuan Wei unable to tell for a moment whether he had taken her words to heart or let them go in one ear and out the other.

"All right, he knows what he's doing." Xuan Wei laughed and cut her off.

Then she looked at Xuan Qing and said, "Miss Su is loyal and righteous; her nature is like a new willow in March—seemingly pliable but actually unyielding—if you like her, you might nurture her with gentle spring rain."

After a pause, she spoke again.

"Qing'er, among countless beauties in the world, there will never be another woman like her who can lodge like a stubborn stone in your heart. Admit it—the hidden spark in your eyes has already said it all."

Xuan Wei used to doubt Xuan Shuang's judgment about the feelings of the third younger brother, but after last night's events she suddenly understood.

For someone like Xuan Qing, a person who stands out at first glance is destined to be extraordinary in his heart.

After Xuan Shuang and the others left, Su Mo returned to her room, took off her clothes, and prepared to clean the wound on her waist.

Just after taking some items from the System Laboratory, she heard someone knock on the door: "Wife Master, the water has arrived."

Su Mo hadn't even opened her mouth when Yue Ying flashed inside.

She instinctively grabbed a nearby piece of clothing to block herself, frowning and saying, "Is it you~?"

She had just clearly asked Fei Yan to prepare warm water……

Downstairs.

In the instant Fei Yan turned around, that bucket of warm water was taken by Yue Ying.

He naturally knew what that fox was up to, huh.

Fei Yan let out a helpless laugh, convincing himself inwardly, "Forget it, I won't argue with him."

Later, just have the Wife Master replenish it for him.

Inside Su Mo's bedroom.

Yue Ying's eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy; he deliberately walked to the bedside and sat down next to her.

He cupped her face, locking gazes, and muttered unhappily, "Is it me, then, that has disappointed the Wife Master?"

Immediately he shoved her down, frowning and muttering unhappily, "Do you even have a heart? After not seeing each other for days, you haven't thought of me?"

Seeing his undisguised desire in his eyes, Su Mo dodged slightly.

Yue Ying grabbed her slender waist and pressed down harder.

He seethed with resentment, "Even now you dodge—how long will you keep avoiding me? We've been married this long; when will I finally be able to be your true Beast Husband?"

"You despise me, annoy me? Every time you see me you act like a mouse seeing a cat… If you don't like me, why marry me? If you marry me, are you just going to make me watch you and those lovey-dovey couples? To treat me like this, can you really bear it?"

Su Mo widened her eyes in speechlessness: "No, there isn't……"

【He really can spout nonsense! Like a resentful woman in the deep palace… I actually have nothing to say…】

Yue Ying hooked her chin, his bewitching eyes meeting hers like water, and softly begged, "Mo'er today, please indulge me~"

As his words fell, his lips landed on Su Mo's ear, then trailed down softly.

After a moment, his hoarse voice said, "I'm at my peak strength right now—how can you bear to waste it, Mo'er? Be good, I'll certainly attend to you well~"
