Their true feelings revealed: the beastly husbands are working themselves to the bone every night.

Chapter 101: A Wife's Promise is a Promise, No Going Back on Her Word
Su Mo briefly explained the situation of the Tiger Clan to Long Yan. Long Yan's people were still in the rear and would arrive near the Tiger Clan around midnight.

He arrived so quickly because he was worried about Su Mo's safety.

Now that we know she's alright, we can finally relax.

Xuan Shuang was very grateful to learn that Long Yan was willing to cooperate with them.

The next step was to discuss how to defeat the enemy.

Su Mo listened for a moment, then came out.

She was tired after a busy day and wanted to go to bed early.

As soon as he returned to his room, Mo Xiao fetched hot water.

"My lady, please go wash up. I'll keep watch at the door for you."

Su Mo gestured for him to come over.

After Mo Xiao approached, she looked down at the bloodstains on his waist and said, "You were injured and didn't even say so?"

"Small injury, nothing to worry about."

She was exhausted after a long day, and he didn't want to worry her with these things.

"Sit down, let me take a look."

Without saying a word, Su Mo pressed him down to sit on the edge of the bed.

Then he loosened the belt of his robe, revealing arrow graze marks at his waist.

Fortunately, it wasn't poisonous.

After disinfecting with disinfectant, she applied the medicine to his wound.

"Be careful, we're just asking you to help, not to risk your lives."

Just as Su Mo was about to help him put on his clothes, the person in front of her pulled her into his arms.

Mo Xiao held her in his arms and asked in a low, restrained voice, "Is my wife worried about me?"

"nonsense!"

Su Mo struggled to get up, but he held her tightly again.

He gently nuzzled her cheek and whispered, "Can we hug for a while?"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Mo Xiao whispered in her ear, "Does the Tiger Clan really have an antidote to cure the poison in my wife's body?"

Su Mo didn't know how to answer this question.

The toxins in my body are too complex; it's unlikely to be resolved with just one or two things. I really don't want them to have such high expectations only to be disappointed...

[Xiao Jiu is so useless! Can't you just upgrade the lab already?!]

Xiao Jiu: "..."

Mo Xiao hugged her, his tone more pleading than ever before: "Whether it works or not, let's give it a try, okay? What if it does?"

"Ah."

Su Mo's mind wandered, thinking, "Anyway, it shouldn't kill me, right? My body is practically immune to all poisons!"

The next second, he felt the arms holding her tighten again, and he heard Mo Xiao's deep and powerful voice in his ear: "I hope you are healthy and safe."

Su Mo felt a warmth in her heart, leaned closer to his neck and whispered, "You too, promise me that no matter what, you will always put yourself first."

Mo Xiao remained silent for a long while before saying, "Except for you."

Su Mo frowned and looked at him: "No, I can't be the exception either."

She didn't want a repeat of what happened to Ye Yuan last time.

It is inhumane to place one person's life above that of another.

Mo Xiao stared into her eyes and said, word by word, "You are, you are the only exception. In my world, you are more important than all the laws."

Before Su Mo could speak again, he kissed her.

Mo Xiao's kiss was different from his previous domineering ones; it was tender and almost devout, with each gentle suck accompanied by a restrained tremor.

After the kiss, he held the still-dazed Su Mo and asked, "My wife, do you understand how important you are to me? I never imagined I would care about someone so much..."

"So you can't be hurt, even if there's only a sliver of hope, I have to try. Please take care of yourself for my sake and for theirs."

Su Mo leaned against his chest, her eyes sparkling as she looked at his profile and whispered, "Alright, after we help the Tiger Clan repel the invaders, I will ask them for a reward."

"Ah."

Mo Xiao knew, of course, that 'taking advantage of someone's kindness' was a despicable act, but what harm was there in being a villain for the sake of the one he loved?

He lowered his head and asked her in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to take a shower?"

Su Mo nodded and tried to get up from his embrace.

But he held her firmly with both hands, his dark and deep eyes fixed on her.

A dark flame suddenly ignited in his dim eyes: "I'll help you."

“I…” Su Mo’s bright eyes widened.

What outrageous things is he spouting?!

The next second, she was kissed again by the person in front of her.

Mo Xiao grasped her struggling hands and coaxed her in a hoarse voice, "Mo'er, be good, I will treat you gently..."

Su Mo's resistance was negligible, and the more she struggled, the more excited he became... This was the Tiger Clan, and she didn't want to make a fool of herself.

She blushed and said, "You're not allowed to do anything excessive, or I'll... I'll hit you!"

"Hmm," Mo Xiao replied absentmindedly.

He quickly stripped off her clothes and tossed them aside before carrying her to the bucket.

In his view, what he did to her was not excessive; it was all within his duty.

In a room filled with a misty haze.

"..."

"Mo Xiao, you...stop...shut up!"

He chuckled softly, his breath coming in short gasps, from her arms: "Does Mo'er want me to stop, or shut up?"

"Hmm~"

Su Mo didn't dare to make a sound; the low moan that escaped her lips was unfamiliar even to herself.

Finally, unable to resist his persistent pestering, she could only bite her lip and coax him, "...Stop, stop messing around. Next time, next time I'll definitely make sure you have your fill."

"Is the wife confirmed?" Mo Xiao's eyes were tinged with an unusual red.

He grabbed her hand and pressed it to a spot: "A promise is a promise, my wife, you are not allowed to go back on your word."

Su Mo's already flushed cheeks turned even redder instantly.

She struggled to pull her hand away, stammering, "You...you!"

Mo Xiao, panting, nestled against her neck and said, "Mo Mo needs to detoxify quickly, otherwise... I won't be able to enjoy myself to the fullest."

Su Mo blushed and said coquettishly, "You, you get out of here right now!"

I must have been out of my mind just now, how could I say something like that to him... That snake is ruthless when it goes berserk! I can't handle it... Next time I'll just pretend to be stupid.

Mo Xiao chuckled lightly. It didn't matter that his wife had a bad memory; he could remember it.

He immediately scooped the person out of the bucket, quickly dried her off, and placed her on the bed.

When Su Mo thought of what he had just done... she subconsciously moved further inside.

With a gentle flick of her snake tail, she fell back into his arms.

Mo Xiao touched the hair on his head and said softly, "I won't bother you anymore, go to sleep."

After saying that, he lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead, then turned and left.

Su Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing the door close.

A string of numbers suddenly flashed through my mind.

Mo Xiao's favorability rating is 90.

Crimson Flame 88.
Moon Shadow 84.
Yeyuan76.
Canglan 71.

Passerby A, number 72.

Passerby B, 41.

Su Mo was surprised. Ye Yuan's favorability rating had increased by 2 points again?
How did it rise?

It grows just by meeting? Amazing!

Xiao Jiu thought silently: ...During the period when love is growing wildly, even smelling the other person's scent is a fatal temptation.

As Mo Xiao emerged from Su Mo's room, he bumped into Yueying, Feiyan, Canglan, and Longyan.

Almost simultaneously, all four sensed Su Mo's presence on Mo Xiao, and their eyes darkened at the same time.

Longyan knew that among the people present, he had the least right to argue about these things, but that unfamiliar feeling came so quickly that he couldn't control it at all...

The fox, with its sharp eyes, spotted a thin mark on Mo Xiao's neck, and immediately became jealous again.

I knew that stinky snake's sudden disappearance wasn't up to any good; it really is a cunning snake!
Fei Yan told him about the Tiger Clan's deployment. Mo Xiao nodded to indicate that he understood.

After finishing his story, Longyan left.

He still needed to rejoin the main force, and since Su Mo was already asleep, he didn't want to disturb her.

After saying goodbye to Mo Xiao and the others, he left.

Yueying and the others were also getting ready to go to sleep.

As for the Tiger Clan, Xuan Shuang and her two brothers, along with Bai Chi, Tian Huan, and Hei Hu, were still discussing the details in the study.

Xuan Shuang frowned and said, "If it weren't for Miss Su and her fiancés, we would have suffered heavy losses this time."

Black Tiger: "We were so grateful for her plan last night, otherwise we might not have been able to scare those people away."

Tianhuan continued, "That Miss Su is quite extraordinary. I admit I had a lot of issues with her before..."

Bai Chi succinctly stated: "She is a good person."

Xuan Shuang laughed and said, "She is indeed very interesting. Not only is her medical skill superb, but she is also very intelligent. Even I can't help but be attracted to her, let alone her fiancés. No wonder they all keep such a close eye on her. Who wouldn't like such an interesting person?"

After saying that, she turned to Xuan Qing beside her and asked, "Third brother, do you have anything to say? Do you still think that Miss Su is a cunning woman?"

Xuan Qing's calm and composed expression revealed no emotion whatsoever.

He said calmly, "I'm going back to my room now."

　I'm heading out now. I stayed up all night to finish this~ Come on, praise me!!!
