Chapter 19: It's Me, Not You, Who Is Indispensable

Su Mo argued with the system: "Do you even know I'm poisoned? This body of mine is just a decoration, how could I...?"

Xiao Jiu: "It's not a big deal, just let him restrain a bit and release his emotions, then it'll be fine~ Actually, you don't need to worry about how many times—do you want seven, eight, nine, ten times? Your appetite is really too big!"

"……You're really not a proper thing! Ten times……I can't even handle it, he probably can't either?!"

The snake tail coiled around her waist suddenly exerted force, and the next second Su Mo was pulled into Mo Xiao's embrace.

Looking at that handsome face up close, Su Mo froze.

Mo Xiao's low, restrained breathing sounded in her ear: "Wife Master, why not give it a try?"

"!!!"

【What crazy talk is he spouting……】

Mo Xiao only felt the fragrance between his nostrils was so tempting that he couldn't help wanting to get closer.

He even unconsciously lightly rubbed against Su Mo's neck.

Su Mo shuddered, then decided to cut the knot with a swift blade.

Let's go back first and talk about it!

We can't really let this snake die because of her, or become a cripple, can we?

That way, she would feel uneasy in her conscience for the rest of her life.

Mo Xiao transformed, his body coiled around Su Mo as they sped back home at lightning speed!

The drug's effect was clamoring inside him, and he felt he was about to lose control of his mind.

He was really worried that if he stayed outside, he might do something improper to her.

Back in the room, he turned back into human form.

But he couldn't maintain it for even a minute before his snake tail showed.

The huge snake tail, uncontrollable, climbed up to Su Mo's ankle, lightly rubbing.

Su Mo sat on the edge of the bed, anxiously and fearfully watching Mo Xiao lying beside her.

In her previous life she was most afraid of snakes, but now, if she ran away, it would seem somewhat unkind and unjust.

On the way home she had fed Mo Xiao her blood, but it had absolutely no effect.

She also took two Tranquilizers from the System Space and fed them to him, but it still didn't work. She didn't know how that ghost-headed Shaman Doctor refined this Aphrodisiac Powder—the drug's effect is extremely potent!

Mo Xiao sensed Su Mo's fear and, with the last shred of his reason, tried to control his mind.

Wife Master, if you're uncomfortable… please leave the room as soon as possible!

Su Mo looked at the half-beastman before her, closed her eyes, and said: "It's not that I'm unwilling, after all you got hurt trying to save me. I can't be ungrateful, but I…"

【Everything else is secondary; the important thing is my small frame… I can't take it!!】

Mo Xiao panted and asked: "So you're saying, Wife Master, you're willing to save me?!"

Of course.

After all, he's also a snake's life, and he did it for me—how could I really just watch him die?

Su Mo had just finished speaking when, the next second, a force shoved her onto the bed.

Mo Xiao's hand protected her head as he leaned in.

His palm rested on her waist.

Su Mo's heart raced from the heat of his palm.

Isn't a snake's body temperature supposed to be cold?

How… how is he so hot?!

A low, husky voice sounded in her ear: "Wife Master, don't be afraid… I'll restrain myself, be as gentle as I can, okay?"

Su Mo's heart went "thump-thump"—no, he… is he really going to do it?!

【Although Granny has read plenty of po novels, she has zero real‑world experience! And he's a beastman who's just been drugged—once his emotions flare up, how could he possibly control himself?!】

Wait!

"……"

After a long while, accompanied by the low grunts of the male beastman, came Su Mo's aggrieved complaint.

Mo Xiao, it hurts! Hurts! Hurts~

——

Outside the house.

Fei Yan and Yue Ying stood in the courtyard with solemn expressions, listening to the noises from inside the house; both blushed a little, yet also felt a hidden jealousy.

Yue Ying's Feather Fan in his hand had now been folded over, completely changing its appearance.

Originally he thought that among the three, Mo Xiao was currently the least competitive.

Who would have thought he would overtake them on a curve!

Fei Yan's face remained calm, but deep down he too felt some emotion.

The Principal Husband Position—who wouldn't want it?

Originally, after Mo Xiao was rejected by the Wife Master, the one most likely to become the Right Husband was him.

But now……

Tonight, for them, is a sleepless night.

——

【Does the Stinky Snake's stamina have to be this good?!】

【I'm truly impressed—he's not tired, but I am!!】

【Wasn't it said… just releasing emotions would be enough? This has already… how many times… waa waa waa, save me!!! I swear I'll never read those little po novels again—everything there is lies, the true combat power of a snake beastman is a hundred times more terrifying than what's described in those po novels!】

【Granny will never envy those female leads in the books again—this is simply not something a human could do……】

In the late night, Yue Ying listened to the occasional sounds still coming from inside the house.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Being wounded and still recklessly tormenting yourself—if you don't even fear exhausting yourself, that's one thing, but you don't feel any pity for my Xiao Mo Mo at all!"

Fei Yan squinted and glanced at that window.

When feelings run deep, who can keep themselves in check? Especially Beastmen like them, who are already sensitive to such matters.

Once affection sprouts, it only grows more intense. Moreover, people like them, once they fall in love in this life, will remain loyal to a single person.

Mo Xiao was clearly already moved; otherwise, even if he had to give up half his martial strength tonight, he would never have been willing to be with Su Mo…

In the early hours, that room door finally opened!

Mo Xiao casually draped the black brocade robe over his body; his eyebrows were like blades, his eyes like drops of lacquer, and his entire presence exuded aristocratic aura.

Within his narrow, elongated eyes lingered a faint, cool smile.

Fei Yan's eyes swiftly caught the silver flash that streaked across his shoulder.

That was the Binding Contract proof after falling in love.

When Beastmen fall in love, the name of the female master is automatically etched onto their bodies, and each time they are moved, a seductive crimson bloom appears, red as blood.

If this female does not accept him, then he will have no chance to seek another female master.

"Wife Master, she… is she okay?"

Just as Fei Yan finished asking, a rustling sound came from inside the house.

Su Mo stumbled out, swinging away the person at the doorway.

"Step aside! I'm going out to wash my hands!"

Fei Yan and Yue Ying instinctively looked over and saw Su Mo's long jet‑black hair draped over her shoulders; she looked utterly exhausted, yet not the kind of fatigue they had imagined…

What puzzled them most was why Wife Master's two hands were swollen!

Su Mo, by the river, rubbed her hands while ranting, "Crazy, that Stinky Snake must be a mad snake!"

【Fortunately, Auntie was clever and didn't actually go along with him… otherwise my life would have been doomed by his torment tonight. The snake actually really…】

【Hmph, what am I thinking! My poor hands…】

Fei Yan and Yue Ying seemed to understand, and simultaneously looked at Mo Xiao, each feeling a sigh of relief deep inside.

Yue Ying raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Stinky Snake, given a chance you're still useless! Looks like this fox still has a shot at that Principal Husband Position!"

But Mo Xiao clearly didn't take the provocation to heart; recalling the scenes in the room, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

Then he raised his hand to the mark on his left shoulder and said, "Su Mo, it's not that you must have me, but from now on, I must have you!"
