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

Chapter 166 Try dodging again!

While Su Mo was unconscious, the fighting outside continued.

She slept for two days, while the fighting outside raged for two days. Both sides suffered countless casualties and were exhausted, but the outcome was still undecided.

That evening, Shou Longyan and Mo Xiao discussed the possibility of a truce for a few days.

Mo Xiao frowned and said, "Jiang Wu is suffering from a rampant plague, so she probably doesn't have the energy to continue fighting. Let's prepare for a truce."

Meanwhile, in Jiang Wu's tent, the strategist and Aci were discussing countermeasures with her.

The strategist frowned and said, "The plague is rampant in the army, and the beastmen's strength is limited. Let's prepare for a truce."

Jiang Wu said unhappily, "Is such a small plague really that hard to prevent? I don't have the energy to waste time with them. I need to finish this quickly! Give those orcs some pills to boost their stamina!"

The strategist frowned: "Everyone needs time to recover and regain their strength. Now is not the time to push ourselves too hard. Eating too much of that stuff won't help them level up, nor will it be good for our long-term development!"

Jiang Wu's alchemy always emphasizes speed, ruthlessness, and intensity. Although it can improve one's power in a short time, it has a severe backlash on the body.

The strategist frowned and said, "After this battle, we know the upper limit of Longyan's strength. He also suffered heavy losses this time. Moreover, the damage caused by his use of the Fiery Pill is irreversible. Once we have recovered and successfully weathered this plague, we still have the strength to win."

Aci chimed in, "The main force's energy has indeed been severely depleted."

Jiang Wu glanced at him coolly, then said nothing more.

……

When Su Mo regained consciousness, it was already completely dark outside.

I opened my eyes groggily and saw someone lying face down on the headboard.

Su Mo called his name in a hoarse voice: "Mo Xiao".

The moment Mo Xiao looked up, his gaze met her dazed eyes. A flash of wild joy appeared in his eyes, and the next second he excitedly hugged the person in front of him tightly.

"You finally woke up."

Su Mo nestled in his arms and whispered, "I...want to drink water."

"Wait!"

The person in front of me darted away like a gust of wind, and then quickly returned carrying the things.

Su Mo was checking the totem's recovery status at that time. It seemed that the energy had returned and it had even upgraded. Good news!

Mo Xiao handed her a bowl of warm water, and after she drank it, he handed her a bowl of light cornmeal porridge.

Su Mo listened to him talk about the past two days while she ate.

"The fighting stopped after dark. Right now, Fei Yan and Xuan Shuang are busy treating the wounded."

Su Mo nodded, put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm going out for a walk."

"I'll accompany you."

As soon as Su Mo came out of the room, she saw Long Yan and Xuan Qing coming towards her.

Long Yan looked at her with concern: "Miss Su."

Su Mo smiled gently: "I'm fine, don't worry. I was just about to come find you."

She took a step closer to him and said, "Give me your hand."

Su Mo touched his pulse and found it to be more stable than she had expected, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he took out a few pills from his pouch and handed them over: "Don't take the Fiery Pill anymore. Take it once every ten days from now on. It will help you level up."

Long Yan swallowed the blood churning in his throat and nodded gently at her: "Okay."

Su Mo asked about the situation of the dragon soldiers, and Long Yan said that the witch doctor could handle it.

However, the strategist couple and the little dragon cub have not yet been rescued.

Su Mo knew that they would be fine for the time being. Jiang Wu wanted to use them to restrain Long Yan, so they wouldn't harm him for the time being.

Soon after, a servant came looking for Longyan, and he left with him.

Su Mo turned her head and met Xuan Qing's clear and cold eyes.

He vaguely recalled that when he led her to retreat that day, he seemed to have been whipped by Jiang Wu.

Su Mo frowned and asked, "Is the Third Young Master's injury any better?"

"Mm," Xuan Qing replied calmly.

"Let me take a look?" Su Mo was about to reach out and touch his wrist.

Xuanqing frowned and raised his hand to avoid it.

Su Mo: "..."

What does he mean? It's just a minor injury; does he have to make me act like it's a monster?

Xuan Qing's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched slightly. He frowned and said, "I'm fine. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now." With that, he turned and strode away.

Su Mo looked at his retreating figure, feeling both puzzled and impressed.

[Fine, I guess I was just being delusional...]

Mo Xiao's deep gaze swept over the white figure, and he roughly knew why Xuan Qing had tried to hide earlier.

Perhaps... he didn't want his wife to discover the scar on his wrist.

Su Mo went out and checked on the injured dragon soldiers, helping to treat them for a while.

When they returned to the room, Mo Xiao had already prepared a bath. As she was soaking in the tub, feeling drowsy, Mo Xiao came in, lifted her out of the tub, and gently placed her on the bed.

Su Mo's eyelashes fluttered slightly. The familiar scent around her nose made her feel safe, but she didn't intend to speak to him now. If she did, she probably wouldn't get a good night's sleep tonight...

He's been abstaining for so long, I'm afraid he'll cause even more trouble.

She was genuinely afraid of him going crazy in bed... If he went mad, she really wouldn't know what to do.

Before making things difficult for herself or for him, Su Mo decisively chose to make things difficult for him.

Mo Xiao had already guessed her little thoughts. He twirled a strand of her hair with his fingertips, his tender gaze sweeping over the person in his arms, wondering how long she would keep up the act.

Su Mo felt the body temperature of the person next to her getting hotter and hotter, so hot that she couldn't help but want to move away.

Just as she was about to make a move, he pulled her into his arms, and she heard his low, hoarse sigh.

His voice, tinged with a hint of restrained indulgence, said, "You little rascal, all you ever do is bully me."

Su Mo couldn't keep up the act any longer and frowned, asking, "When did I bully you?"

"You're not asleep, but you're pretending to ignore me. Isn't that bullying? You're just taking advantage of the fact that I'm easy to bully."

"Where are you easy to bully?" Su Mo bit her lip and looked at him angrily.

[They're always quick to distort the truth, always trying to figure out who's really bullying whom...]

Mo Xiao chuckled softly, flipped over and pinned her down, his voice tender: "Have you thought of me these past few days, Mo'er?"

Su Mo saw the undisguised desire in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she nodded in a daze.

At a time like this, she dared not say anything she didn't want to hear...

Mo Xiao kissed her, "I want to hear you say it to me in person."

"think…"

Mo Xiao seized the opportunity and gave her no chance to back down.

His kiss was fierce and urgent, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

She trembled as she tried to escape, but he grabbed her and pressed her back down by the waist.

His hot breath sprayed all over her neck, and she heard his urgent threat in her ear: "Try dodging again."

While Su Mo was stunned, he grabbed her wrist and locked it above her head, leaving her completely defenseless.

How long has it been since their wedding? He's been suffering every single day. She, on the other hand, came to the Dragon Clan with Fei Yan right after her period ended.

Have she thought about how he's been getting through these days?

He was determined to have her tonight, no matter what!

"Mo, Mo Xiao, my husband..."

Sensing that he was about to go crazy, Su Mo frantically called out to him.

He bit her earlobe, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and coaxed her in a low breath, "Mo'er, if you treat me well, I'll hold back a bit~"

Su Mo looked at him obediently and submissively: "Okay..."

A moment later, Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and spoke in a voice that was barely contained.

"I want you to pamper me, not to torment me~ Why are you being naughty again?"

Looking at the person bound by chains, Su Mo felt a surge of joy: "My good husband~ my sweet husband~ don't be in such a hurry~ I'm just spoiling you, I love spoiling you like this~ You have treatment that none of them have, aren't you happy? Aren't you joyful?"

[Let him threaten me! Does he really think I'm some kind of saint? Do he think I'm just reading his posts for nothing?!]

Is this what it feels like to be the king of the hill? Awesome! I'm going to lock him up like this tonight, all night long!

Mo Xiao's patience reached its limit, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably.

Lost in the joy of victory, Su Mo was completely unaware of the dangerous glint in the man's eyes.

Suddenly a cold snort rang in my ears, followed by a loud "bang"...
