Chapter 158: Thought

The group arrived at Long Yan's Study.

The Military Advisor had his subordinates replay the battle situation from the latter half of last night, and the room fell silent.

Just listening made one shiver with a cold spine.

Jiang Wu's tactics were even more formidable than Su Mo had imagined. She hadn't merely avoided the key points she had analyzed in the North Wing; instead, she swiftly and precisely breached every defense outside the Dragon Clan.

She left no room for retreat, cruel and ruthless.

In this battle, she had long plotted to utterly destroy the Dragon Clan!

From the current situation, the people under Jiang Wu's command are far more numerous than she had imagined.

"The outer defenses are now breached, and the Tribe's interior is no longer a secret," Long Yan frowned, "I rearranged the deployments last night, but the enemy had already anticipated it."

Su Mo frowned; judging by Jiang Wu's mind, she must have made countless presets before the war began. With this style, not even the Dragon Clan, let alone the North Wing or Tiger Clan, could withstand it.

What she found odd was that Jiang Wu, in such a short time, had raised so many elite soldiers.

Given her current strength, she is more than ten years behind the original novel's plot. Moreover, in this fight against the Tiger Clan, she took no detours, striking precisely at the vital points.

Su Mo doesn't believe the claim that she has no cheat.

She called out in her mind, Xiao Jiu: "Are you sure the heroine has no system?"

Xiao Jiu replied in an unusually serious tone, "No~"

"Then she can't also be a Transmigrator, right?"

Xiao Jiu shook his head, "No~ Transmigrators come with a system, but she doesn't have one!"

Su Mo frowned, "Then it can only be reincarnation, or…"

Her thoughts were interrupted by Long Yan's subordinates, who were analyzing offensive and defensive plans.

Fei Yan stood expressionlessly, "Reincarnation? Transmigrator?"

Obviously, the Wife Master belongs to the latter.

So which category does Jiang Wu fall into?

When there's time, she'll pull out 'The God's Prophecy' and read it again.

Xuan Qing glanced at the sand table, frowned, and said, "I'm afraid that once the North Wing and Tiger Clan reinforcements arrive, we won't be able to approach us for a while."

Fei Yan frowned but said nothing.

Because the terrain outside the Dragon Clan favors Jiang Wu.

Xuan Qing continued, "However, while they hold the rear in check, we can gain a breathing room. For now, we must set up the formation and hold this place."

Fei Yan frowned and asked Long Yan, "If this place falls, does the Minor General have an escape method?"

Long Yan nodded.

Every Tribe leaves an escape tunnel, but such a thing is not disclosed unless absolutely necessary.

When the group left the Study, someone in the courtyard reported that they had captured another spy.

The Military Advisor strode over, stared at the person for a moment, then barked, "Bring the person to me!"

Su Mo twisted her brow and said, "Military Advisor, spare his life for now; he might be useful later."

The Military Advisor glanced at her, nodded, and agreed.

In the courtyard, two Dragon Cubs in cages were assisting the tribe's Shaman Doctor in treating soldiers' wounds.

Since their birth, they had never experienced such tragedy; they cried while helping throughout.

Su Mo stepped forward toward them, took the item in their hands, and said, "Let me."

Nan Nan's tearful, walnut-shaped eyes looked at her, "Sister Mo, am I too useless? I want to grow up quickly~ then I can avenge everyone."

Dong Dong sniffed and said, "Me too."

Su Mo looked at them with compassion and applied some ointment.

Soon the reddened, swollen eyes immediately subsided.

The two little ones clung to her and suddenly wailed loudly.

Su Mo stroked their heads and gently comforted, "Instead of seeking revenge, you should take care of yourselves now. The world cannot satisfy everything; some partings are inevitable."

Later, Su Mo stayed with them in the courtyard, helping treat the wounded soldiers.

Meanwhile, inside the Tribe's outer tent.

Jiang Wu had just woken from a nap.

When A Ci brought water over, her true form flashed by, suddenly shifting into a human shape.

They had been married for a long time, and this was his first time seeing the Wife Master's true form.

She turned out to be a blue phoenix?!

Legend says this bird can undergo Nirvanic rebirth in any dire situation.

Jiang Wu didn't seem angry at being seen in her true form; she calmly asked, "How is it inside?"

A Ci chuckled lightly, "They're struggling to the death; they'll look good tonight."

Although the foes outside the Dragon Clan have been dealt with, those inside are the hardest to handle, but it doesn't matter; they are numerous.

Even if we wear them down day by day, we can eventually exhaust them to death.

Jiang Wu asked again, "Have their reinforcements arrived?"

"Soon!"

Jiang Wu gave a seductive smile, propping herself on an elbow and massaging the Sun Temple Path; "Then let's prepare a dish for them."

"Just thinking of them charging like a mantis trying to stop a chariot makes me want to laugh!"

A Ci snorted coldly, "Indeed, to stand up for the Dragon Clan, they must have the strength."

Not far away, Jin Tong lounged against a large tree, watching Jiang Wu's every move with ease.

Lin Shan, standing beside him, frowned, "Gate Master, should we also mobilize troops here?"

Jin Tong raised a hand, gesturing for him to drop that idea.

Nowadays it's a good time to watch the show, but he doesn't want to join the fun.

No matter who loses, it's not a bad thing for him.

In the afternoon, Su Mo repeatedly replayed the original book's plot in her mind.

The more she thought, the more something felt off.

Jiang Wu came prepared; he surely anticipated that the Tiger Clan and North Wing would come to aid, and must have made countermeasures.

Su Mo summoned Fei Yan and Xuan Qing to discuss again.

Fei Yan pondered: "Wait until Mo Xiao and the Second Miss approach the Dragon Clan, then we'll make further plans."

He and Xuan Qing exchanged a glance; no matter what, this battle cannot avoid casualties.

The current situation is unfavorable to us; even if we don't fight in the Dragon Clan's territory, the battle will occur in the Tiger Clan's or North Wing's lands. Jiang Wu merely found a relatively easy opening to start with.

Xuan Qing and Fei Yan thought they wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, but who would have thought that outside remained calm and peaceful until they fell asleep.

When Fei Yan finished his bath and returned to the room, Su Mo was already lying on the bed, half-asleep.

She had been treating patients all afternoon and was still somewhat weary.

As soon as Fei Yan lay down, she naturally leaned over.

"Fei Yan..." Su Mo embraced him, calling his name in a muffled, husky voice.

"I'm here."

As he lowered his head, the faint fragrance unique to her seeped into his lungs.

The hand resting on his waist also grew hot uncontrollably.

Every day since their marriage, he has imagined holding her like this as she falls asleep.

Tonight, it finally came true.

Fei Yan lowered his head and planted a kiss in her hair.

The person in his arms slowly lifted her eyes to look at him, a gaze that was both dazed and puzzled.

Su Mo's glass-like eyes flickered with a hint of a smile.

Fei Yan's Adam's apple rolled, his voice gaining a note of restraint: "Don't look at me like that; you're exhausted today, I can't bear to make you more tired..."

The smile at Su Mo's lips deepened: "If you don't want to, then forget it."

Having said that, she was about to turn her back to him.

Fei Yan's eyes darkened as he firmly gripped her waist, pressing her beneath him, and whispered hoarsely: "I want to."

In an instant, the fervent kiss fell like raindrops, lingeringly covering every inch of her skin…
