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

Chapter 159 159 Leading by Example
How could he not want to?
He was practically going crazy with worry!

So a single, casual remark from her could easily crumble him.

Every night he let her be with someone else was a battle with his own conscience. He tried to convince himself to be magnanimous, but at the same time, he wanted to take her back from those men.

In the agonizing nights, he suppressed his deepest desires and repeatedly forced his evil self back into his body.

Fei Yan bit her earlobe and said in a hoarse voice, "I will show Mo'er how much I really want to..."

But then, in her moment of passion, he suddenly stopped, panting as he coaxed her, "Mo'er, will you kiss me? Just like I did just now..."

Su Mo met his gaze with misty eyes, then reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, tilting her head back to lean closer.

Crimson Flame bent down in response.

His remaining rationality and patience were completely shattered by her erratic and unorthodox seduction...

The emotions that had been suppressed for so long were finally released.

But the desire to take was not alleviated at all; instead, it became even more greedy and intensified.

His soul and body were imprisoned, and for the rest of his life, he could never escape her bondage…

Every time I felt like I was going crazy, I tried my best to restrain myself from hurting her.

As he sank into the abyss, he gasped and murmured, "Mo'er, do you know how much I love you..."

Su Mo was feeling dizzy and had no energy to answer him.

A broken yet alluring whimper escaped from the corner of her lips.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her blushing lips: "You mustn't abandon me, you must never leave me... okay?"

In a daze, Su Mo was completely captivated by him, and mumbled, "Okay~"

……

When she woke up the next day, Fei Yan was no longer in the room.

His voice could be faintly heard outside.

Xiao Jiu's voice suddenly rang out: "Host, quickly check if the totem has been upgraded."

Su Mo subconsciously raised her arm, her fingertips touching the dark patterns on her wrist, which instantly shone brightly.

Xiao Jiu exclaimed excitedly, "Great! We've leveled up!"

Su Mo frowned: "But Fei Yan formed a bond with me a long time ago. Could it be that the system space can issue rewards a second time?"

Xiao Jiu shook her head and said, "This time is different. This time it's truly a union of body and soul. Besides, didn't the passerby's favorability rating reach 90? And then there's the Third Young Master..."

Before Xiao Jiu could finish speaking, Fei Yan pushed the door open and came in.

He helped Su Mo up from the bed, looked at her gently and smiled, "Now that you're awake, get up, wash up and have breakfast?"

Su Mo nestled in his arms, too lazy to move: "How's it outside?"

“Jiang Wu’s men must have clashed with Mo Xiao’s group last night. They originally intended to launch a sneak attack, but the Major General used his wife’s poison to deal with it, and they narrowly won.”

Fei Yan did not tell her that he had also participated in the battle after she fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief; this was good news after all.

When she and Fei Yan came out of the room, they bumped into Xuan Qing, who was standing outside.

The moment the other person's calm and unwavering gaze fell upon her, Su Mo's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

She vaguely sensed that Xuan Qing's aura was somewhat different from yesterday, and couldn't help but ask, "Has the Third Young Master leveled up?"

Xuan Qing gave a faint "hmm".

Su Mo was surprised for a moment.

[Wow, he's a level nine beastman now?! Why does it seem like he levels up more easily than others...?] Xuan Qing frowned slightly.

Su Mo took out a pill from her purse and gave it to him, smiling, "Congratulations! Although it's not time to take the medicine yet, you can take an extra one after you level up."

Xuanqing reached out and took it, then put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

Fei Yan roughly knew why Xuan Qing had suddenly broken through to level nine.

Last night, when he and his wife were engrossed in their lovemaking, he clearly felt a powerful aura emanating from the next room.

It was truly difficult for this third young master. They practiced their skills all night, and he practiced his skills all night as well... forcing himself to break through to the ninth level.

Clearly, this seemingly detached and indifferent third young master can no longer suppress the rampant emotions growing in his heart simply by reciting the Heart-Clearing Mantra.

Fei Yan bid farewell to Xuan Qing without changing her expression, and led Su Mo forward.

Su Mo asked excitedly, "I've never seen a level 10 orc before. How long does it take for him to break through from level 9 to level 10?"

Fei Yan smiled and said, "It's hard to say. The last level is the hardest to break through. Moreover, some people will never reach level ten in their entire lives. Orcs' physical abilities also have limits. Some can only reach level eight at most, and some level seven."

"so?"

Su Mo subconsciously glanced at the totem on her wrist; she was actually quite eager to try out the upgraded totem's power.

I wonder how far her thing can be upgraded.

Fei Yan also subconsciously glanced at the dark pattern on her wrist.

He had looked up the 'divine prophecy' and knew that the thing on the wife's wrist wasn't something that just anyone could grow; she might not be an ordinary time traveler.

Xuanwei arrived in the afternoon.

Xuan Shuang is currently outside dealing with Jiang Wu's men. She mainly came to Su Mo to get some medicine to treat the soldiers' wounds.

Upon learning that Xuan Qing had successfully advanced to level nine, Xuan Wei could not hide her joy.

She whispered to Xuanqing, "Are you venting your emotional disappointment on your cultivation?"

Xuan Qing remained calm and composed. "Eldest sister is overthinking it."

Xuanwei chuckled lightly, "You know in your heart whether I'm wrong or not. I know what you're struggling with. You don't like the way so many people are around Miss Su. But you're too late. You're destined to have no chance to change the current situation. Between changing your mind and liking her, you've chosen to suppress your feelings all along."

"On one hand, I can't help being attracted to her, and on the other hand, I'm afraid of falling even more completely. But some feelings only grow wilder the more they are suppressed." Xuanwei grabbed his wrist when he wasn't paying attention, revealing the faint wound.

"Your actions made a decision faster than your reason. Your emotions have long since defeated your reason. Your heart even expressed its affection before your mouth did."

Xuan Qing pulled her hand away from her grasp, her face still displaying the same calm expression.

Xuanwei took a deep breath and said, "Life isn't always about following the expected path. What's wrong with going crazy just this once?"

A moment later, Xuanwei left with the medicine Su Mo had prepared for her, along with the antidote Su Mo had prepared for them and Mo Xiao.

Su Mo upgraded her poison again, adding everything she could think of.

Xiao Jiu said she was crazy, but she couldn't deal with a formidable opponent like Jiang Wu if she wasn't crazy.

You have to understand, she's the female lead! She's even more difficult to deal with than Jin Tong.

It proved to be effective; Jiang Wu's people still suffered losses last night.

However, once a poison has been used, it is no longer a secret, so Su Mo quickly adjusted the formula in the morning.

This method cannot be used indefinitely.

After all, the other party is also skilled in poisons. Although Su Mo has the antidote pill given to her by the system, it doesn't mean she is 100% safe.

That evening, Su Mo and the others discussed with Long Yan and the others that this battle should not be dragged out for too long. Of course, what they needed to do now was not only to defeat Jiang Wu, but also to make her suffer. Only by suffering enough pain could she remain calm for a moment. In this way, the Dragon Clan could also get a chance to catch their breath.

However, it's not a good time for a direct confrontation yet, because Jiang Wu's people are currently in high spirits, and... the arrows she shot earlier, laced with the blood of plague patients, have clearly not yet begun to spread.

So we have to find a way to delay for a few more days, and wait for the right time, place, and people before we fight again!
