Chapter 60: Little Scoundrel, You Let Me Bite—And You Really Bite

Looking at the handsome face just inches away, Su Mo instinctively flinched.

The slight motion instantly pricked the person before him, Mo Xiao instinctively reached out, seized her slender waist, and with a force pulled her to him.

Su Mo struggled internally, but those hands, like iron tongs, trapped her so she could not move.

The scorching palm pressed on her slender waist like a hot iron, burning her so that her uncontrollable heartbeat trembled.

"You…"

Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, concealing the raging storm in his gaze, and asked in an even tone, "Wife Master, are you very afraid of me?"

"…" Su Mo was silent for a few seconds, then slowly shook her head: "Not really very afraid."

【Just a little bit…】

【Stinky Snake's aura is just too strong; every time I meet his eyes, I feel like he'll eat me down to the last bone…】

【I have no idea where the Original Protagonist got the courage to drug him, choosing that Dead Fox instead of this snake. Most people would retreat three villages just from a glance at him, yet she still rushed to cling onto him, causing great‑aunt to take the blame as soon as she arrived…】

A flash of dark light flickered in Mo Xiao's eyes, and the hand he had placed on her waist tightened unconsciously.

He spoke again, asking, "Wife Master, do you dislike me?"

Su Mo lifted her gaze to meet his, seeing in his eyes a hidden expectation and a hint of avoidance.

For a moment she didn't know how to answer.

He asked again, "Wife Master, do you like Yue Ying?"

Su Mo's beautiful pupils widened: "I…"

Mo Xiao interrupted hastily, "Or do you prefer Fei Yan more?"

"Uh…"

He interrupted again, "Or perhaps you like both of them?"

"…"

He said to himself, "I understand."

Su Mo's pink lips were slightly parting; what did he understand? How did he know?!

She hadn't said anything at all—was he a worm in her belly?

"Um, it's getting late, we…"

Su Mo thought it best not to continue the topic; she felt this capricious Stinky Snake was now a bit dangerous.

Its whole body exuded an aura of wanting to devour people…

She regretted it a bit—why had she come with him to this deserted mountaintop? If any word upset him, it would be truly dangerous, okay?

"Wife Master, would you judge a person's good or bad based on subjective impression?"

Su Mo exclaimed inwardly, 【No, why is Stinky Snake still not done?】

"When people meet, the first encounter is important, but it's not reasonable to judge good or bad at first glance, right?"

Su Mo admitted she was extremely shallow, but isn't that just human nature?

Who wouldn't glance a second time at an attractive person? As for whether that person is good or bad, that still requires time to verify.

"Wife Master, would you dislike a bad person that your subjective mind has labeled?"

"Of course!"

Who would a good person want to associate with a bad person? Unless their mind is twisted.

Mo Xiao's calm gaze fixed on her as he continued, "So Wife Master, you're afraid I will despise you because your subjective mind has labeled me as that 'bad person', right?"

Su Mo was stunned; what does any of this have to do with anything?

Seriously, how did it come to him?

"Yes, or no?"

He looked at her and asked again.

Su Mo was silent for a moment; in fact, she was indeed influenced by his villainous role in the book.

"May I ask, Mo Xiao, have you ever done something heinous that caused Wife Master to have this misunderstanding?"

Su Mo was at a loss for words; what should she say?

Should she say that she was actually affected by the character's setting in the book?

Su Mo lowered her head, speaking sincerely: "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault; it's mine for what I did to you that night… If I had known you weren't…"

Su Mo looked at him curiously.

Mo Xiao knit his brows, his tone so light it was almost inaudible: "From now on, could you stop hating me so much? If there's anything I'm lacking, tell me, and I'll correct it as soon as possible, okay?"

"Actually, I don't really hate you much…"

"Really?!"

Su Mo nodded; she's a looks‑obsessed person, and looking at that face she truly couldn't utter words of dislike.

But thinking it over, she felt something was off.

【Why is Stinky Snake so strange today? This isn't right… is he scheming me? Cunning Stinky Snake!】

A dark glint flashed in Mo Xiao's eyes, "Could… could I hold you for a moment?"

Su Mo's eyes widened as she stared at him; before she could react, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

Out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of the dark sigil of the Binding Contract on his shoulder, flashing with dazzling light.

The person before her involuntarily manifested a Snake Tail that gently coiled around her.

Smooth, cold scales glimmered with a dim light, each looking as if meticulously polished obsidian.

Mo Xiao leaned close to her ear, whispering, "Don't be so afraid of me, okay? I will never hurt you, ever."

The icy touch seemed to draw away Su Mo's body heat; she shivered involuntarily, and the next second felt the Snake Tail around her waist gradually warming.

Su Mo's eyes showed a flash of surprise 【He can actually still freely regulate his body temperature?!】

The tip of the tail coiled around her wrist, gently rubbing, inexplicably… a bit cute.

Su Mo couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

In the next instant, the Snake Tail suddenly came to her waist, wrapping her tightly, and she heard Mo Xiao's hoarse, muffled hum in her ear.

Then she only felt the body heat of the one holding her rise rapidly.

Su Mo was startled.

【What are you doing, wrapping so tightly, trying to strangle Auntie… If you won't let me touch, then don't, you stingy thing!】

Suddenly the Snake Tail coiled at her waist loosened, then silently slipped into her palm, gently rubbing.

A low hoarse voice came to her ear: "Mo Mo, don't be angry, you can touch, I'll only let you be touched by one person."

Su Mo's cheeks suddenly flushed 【This Stinky Snake, when did it also learn the smooth‑talking tricks of that Dead Fox?】

At a moment like this, she could still think of that Dead Fox, and a dark glint flashed in Mo Xiao's eyes.

The slender tail slipped in along her cuff, and Su Mo felt a sudden wave of tingling, itchy numbness surge through her body.

She suddenly widened her eyes, trying to grab his disobedient tail.

But there was nowhere to get a hold.

She blushed and hurried, "Mo Xiao, your tail…"

Proper Master, as if nothing, said, "Hmm, it's a bit uncontrollable, I can't manage it."

"..." Su Mo widened her eyes in disbelief, this was sheer nonsense!

He can't control his own tail?!

What a liar!

"Then I'll bite it!"

"You bite."

Suddenly the tail coiled around her snapped free.

It even swayed proudly.

Su Mo silently gritted her teeth, Stinky Snake, are you certain she wouldn't dare bite your tail?!

Just bite!

Su Mo opened her mouth and leaned in; the next instant, her vision blurred as two soft lips sealed her mouth, greedily snatching her breath, charging straight in, giving her no chance to breathe or think.

Mo Xiao grabbed her waist with one hand and cupped her head with the other, a domineering and fierce siege‑like assault.

Su Mo unconsciously clutched his collar tightly, and in the gap between dizziness and suffocation, she vaguely heard her own deafening heartbeat.

In the second just before she truly felt she would suffocate, the person in front finally released her.

He leaned over her neck, panting, and said, "Little Bad Egg, I let you bite, and you actually bite—do you know what that is, daring to sink your teeth so casually?"

Su Mo's head was dizzy at that moment, she didn't even have time to ponder his words.

After a while, once she calmed down, she touched her burning lips and frowned.

【The action was so fierce, as if it were going to eat a person...】

A low laugh came to her ear, "One more time?"

Su Mo suddenly widened her eyes, not having time to refuse, her lips softened again.

This kiss, unlike the previous one, was gentle and progressive, as if deliberately luring her.

Mo Xiao had actually done it on purpose; he had long known that Wife Master was unfamiliar with these matters.

It's fine; from now on he can teach her, patiently and tirelessly, over and over, until she learns.
