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

Chapter 128 The Fox Gets Jealous
After the meal, Mo Xiao returned to the Snake Clan, mainly to check if any suspicious individuals had been identified.

Su Mo gave him some medicinal powder, which he sprinkled on the northern border. It would be detected whenever outsiders passed by.

That's something that just came out of the systems lab.

With this, the investigation will be much easier.

Fei Yan had planned to accompany Su Mo to the clan chief's house, but before she even reached the door, she was called away by someone from the clan.

She said she needed to talk to him about something, and he glanced at Su Mo.

Su Mo frowned and said, "You go first, I'll be there in a bit..."

Yueying immediately smiled and said, "I will accompany my wife to the clan chief's house later."

Fei Yan nodded and said, "Okay."

Not long after he left, Su Mo and Yue Ying rushed to the clan chief's house.

Huang Ming had been there the whole time, and when he saw Su Mo coming over, he immediately went to greet her.

I told her about the current situation of the clan chief and his wife.

Su Mo examined their injuries and prescribed some medicine to neutralize the toxins in their bodies.

Before leaving, I took some more blood from them, intending to put it in the laboratory for research.

Then he went to see the third young master of the Tiger Clan.

Xuan Qing remained calm and composed, his gaze towards Su Mo undisturbed.

When his gaze swept over the deep and shallow marks on her neck, his eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.

Su Mo took his pulse, then took out a pill from her purse and handed it to him: "If you trust me, Third Young Master, please take this first..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xuanqing had already swallowed the pills she was offered.

The medicine quickly spread throughout his internal organs, and he frowned, saying, "Thank you, Miss Su. I'm really sorry to have troubled you by coming out for a drink."

Su Mo felt like rolling her eyes.

The person spoke politely, but there was not a trace of apology in their tone.

She forced a smile and said, "It's my fault as the host that I haven't taken good care of him, causing the Third Young Master to suffer here. It was really not my intention; I should be the one apologizing."

Xuan Qing smiled slightly: "Since Miss Su is so self-aware, then I will not say any more. There is no need for apologies. Please take the trouble to prepare some good medicine to heal my injuries as soon as possible and release me."

Su Mo: "..."

[This guy is utterly shameless! He was lying near the chieftain's house covered in blood for no reason, becoming a suspect—it was all his own carelessness and underestimation of the enemy! How did it become my fault?!]

Seeing Su Mo's reaction, Xuan Qing chuckled again and said, "What does it mean that Miss Su is not saying anything? Does she know she is wrong but refuse to admit it?"

Su Mo gritted her teeth.

Here we go again! Don't even think about teaching me a lesson!

Su Mo smiled and said, "Young Master, you should stay in the Tiger Clan next time. With your talent for causing trouble, I don't know who to blame."

"Indeed, my appearance has disturbed Miss Su's enjoyment of her love. It's really my fault; this happened at the worst possible time."

"..." Su Mo gritted her teeth and said with a forced smile, "Judging from the Third Young Master's attitude, he probably isn't in a hurry to leave. You just wait patiently. Once the matter is investigated, you will be released naturally!"

Xuan Qing nodded, his tone unusually calm: "No rush. Miss Su is welcome to visit me often. Perhaps we can find an opportunity to discuss the details of the book you gave me."

Su Mo bit her lip.

[That damn guy, he really holds a grudge! All I did was give him a copy of the 'Heart-Cleansing Mantra'! Was it really necessary?!]

Xiao Jiu popped up with a "ding": "Host, are you sure you sent the Heart-Cleansing Mantra???"

A hint of guilt flashed across Su Mo's face. She blinked and remained silent.

She changed the contents of the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, but how could a real man be so lacking in magnanimity...?

Moon Shadow, who had been silent for half a day, was now becoming increasingly agitated.

What book did the wife give to the third young master?

He fanned himself casually and said, "I wonder what the Third Young Master would like to discuss with my wife? Why don't you tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

[That damned fox really knows how to rub salt in the wound! Why does he have to meddle like that!] Before she could speak, Xuan Qing said calmly, "The book is called the Heart-Cleansing Mantra. As for the contents, Miss Su, you can tell me yourself."

"..." Su Mo widened her eyes slightly, looking a little guilty: "It's nothing, just teaching people to restrain their desires and be indifferent to fame and fortune! The Third Young Master is pure of heart and has the appearance of a saint, so reading that kind of book is... the most suitable for him!"

Xuan Qing raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Hmm, it's a good book. But Miss Su is more suitable for it than I am. To guard against pride and desire is a lifelong pursuit. However, Miss, now that you are surrounded by handsome men, don't get carried away and forget your roots."

Su Mo forced a stiff smile.

[Is that damned Third Young Master mocking my indulgence in sensual pleasures? We must be incompatible, otherwise why would I be subjected to such veiled insults every time we meet?!]

Yueying's wary gaze swept over the Third Young Master, and she smiled faintly, saying, "My lady, let's get down to business."

Su Mo curled her lips and said, "Give me your hand, I need an acupuncture!"

Xuan Qing chuckled and extended his wrist.

Su Mo took out a silver needle from the side, but before she could use it, she saw the man clench his fist again. "Miss, you wouldn't be seeking revenge knowing you're in the wrong, would you?"

His voice was low and calm, like a still, deep pool, yet it easily made Su Mo grit her teeth in anger.

[Forget it, I'm not going to argue with someone so petty!]

After Su Mo received the acupuncture, Yueying quickly urged the people to come out from inside.

The thought of the Third Young Master's meaningful gaze made his heart clench.

By now, Yueying had been pestering Su Mo, asking her eight hundred times what the contents of that book were.

Su Mo, unable to bear his pestering any longer, glared at him and said, "If you keep bothering me with these questions, I'll... never talk to you again!"

[It's just a book, is it really necessary to be so curious? I simply replaced the content of the Heart-Cleansing Mantra with Thirty-Six Ways to Win Back Your Wife~ The content is just a little bit explosive...]

[It's all because Xuan Qing prides himself on being aloof and arrogant, always putting on an air of being detached from worldly affairs and detached from worldly desires, as if everyone else is just an ordinary person in his eyes. I originally just wanted to see how much anger could show on his frosty face... Who would have thought he would hold such a grudge!]

"My lady, you!" Yueying's eyes widened in anger.

Su Mo looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?"

That rascal is inexplicably angry again... I clearly didn't do anything to him!

"!!!"

Yueying was so angry she couldn't speak. In her opinion, the fact that she left that kind of book for Xuanqing was practically teaching that Third Young Master how to pursue her!

He frowned and said, "Go and get the book! I want to read it!"

Su Mo frowned and shook her head: "No!"

"Go and ask for it!"

"No."

[What kind of logic is it to take back something you've already given away? Besides, it was originally meant to provoke Xuanqing...]

Yueying and Su Mo entangled themselves all the way to the courtyard of their home. Su Mo saw a white figure squatting by the roadside in the distance.

He paused, a question lingering in his mind.

[Didn't this cat leave? Why is it back?!]

Before she could think it through, Yueying carried the person and slipped into her room.

Su Mo was trapped at the head of the bed by him when he lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.

She struggled to get away, panting as she asked, "What...what are you doing?"

With reddened eyes, Yueying asked in a mournful tone, "Are you going to go and get that book back or not?"

Su Mo pursed her lips and shook her head, wanting to escape from his embrace.

Little did she know that with a flick of his fox tail, she would easily fall into his arms again.

Yueying frowned at her: "My lady is so disobedient, she must be punished!"

Su Mo stared in astonishment, wanting to say that you were simply going against the natural order!

Before she could even speak, he lowered his head and sealed her lips with a kiss.
