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

Chapter 179 179 As Long As You're Good
A dark shadow swiftly flew to within a hundred meters of Su Mo.

Jin Tong came alone today, which surprised Su Mo.

Although he was quite skilled in combat, he was always very wary and cautious.

Su Mo glanced at Fei Yan beside her and said, "I'll go take a look."

She walked closer to the person not far away. "Is something the matter?"

Jin Tong frowned and said, "I remembered something that might be useful to you, so I came to tell you."

After a moment, Su Mo frowned and asked, "Since you know all this, why don't you do it yourself?"

"If I could kill her, I wouldn't have waited until today."

Su Mo scrutinized him with a slightly questioning look.

Jin Tong said coldly, "You don't need to question the determination of someone who has died nine times to kill her."

This time, he neither wanted to accompany Jiang Wu in reincarnation again, nor did he want to die with her!

Su Mo frowned slightly. "You actually found out too."

She thought Jin Tong only knew that he was reborn, but she didn't expect that he actually knew that he was a person who had reincarnated nine times.

"I found out from Jiang Wu."

Su Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, not particularly surprised.

He looked at her and said firmly, "She said her soul would never perish, so this time I hope she will never be resurrected. I don't want to be trapped in this absurd cycle with her anymore."

Su Mo smiled gently, her eyes narrowed: "Everything you've experienced is a story, and it's also life. Every step you take is your own choice. Going through nine lifetimes for her was your own choice. Awakening in this last chance was also your choice. All the endings have always been your own choices."

Jin Tong frowned: "What do you mean?"

“This should be your last reincarnation.” Su Mo frowned and said, “Either die with her, or… sever her connection with this world and take a gamble.”

Jin Tong frowned slightly and said, "But neither you nor I may ultimately be her match."

“Maybe…you can do it.” Su Mo looked up at him: “You’ve accompanied her through nine reincarnations, so you understand her best, and you’re also her only unresolved issue.”

Jin Tong sneered, "It seems you still don't understand her enough. Do you really think threatening her with me will make her willingly die?!"

“I never intended to use you as a bargaining chip,” Su Mo said, frowning. “Nine times of obsession were your own choice. The feelings you gave don’t need her to reciprocate in the same way to prove their existence. And there’s no need to deny the sincere you of the past; there aren’t many people who can remain genuine every time. Perhaps you should learn to let go of the past in order to think more clearly about what I’m saying and to better find her weaknesses.”

She didn't want to talk to him about these things, but now that they had no clue how to deal with Jiang Wu, they could only place their last hope on Jin Tong.

Jiang Wu had her own unresolved issues, and so did Jin Tong.

If not, he wouldn't have been so determined to become the best in the world after awakening his memories in this life. He didn't want to have anything to do with Jiang Wu, yet he kept attracting her attention in everything he did.

As they parted, Su Mo looked at him and said, "If, and I mean if things go smoothly, I will try to sever the connection between us. I hope that next time, you can truly be clear-headed and live freely."

She casually tossed him a packet of medicine, then turned and strode away.

Jin Tong stared at her retreating figure until she could no longer see it.

When he came out from the northern border and met Lin Shan, Lin Shan asked anxiously, "Sect Master, are you alright?"

Jin Tong looked down at the purse in her hand and slowly shook her head.

Lin Shan frowned and said, "Is it really okay to keep taking her medicine? After all, we were together with her before..."

Jin Tong frowned and said, "You're overthinking it. She hasn't taken those things to heart for a long time."

……

When Su Mo and Fei Yan returned home, they learned that Bai Chi had been waiting for them for half a day.

Bai Chi walked over and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Su!"

Su Mo smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have kept General Bai waiting."

"It's alright, I'm... just a free person! No rush!"

Su Mo smiled without saying a word, thinking to herself, "You really do have a lot of free time, coming to visit me every now and then."

"Let's eat first."

After taking his seat, Bai Chi looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but smile, "Your dishes are really plentiful. Ever since our Third Young Master stayed here for a while, the Eldest and Second Young Masters have often praised his cooking skills!"

Su Mo smiled faintly: "Really?"

If she remembered correctly, General Tianhuan said the same thing when he came last time.

Yes, we talked about other things too. But most of the time, it was all about Xuanqing.

Xiao Jiu sighed, "Some people, even if they're not around, you can still hear about them everywhere you go."

Su Mo secretly rolled her eyes at him: "Shut up."

Fei Yan smiled across from him, her gaze inadvertently meeting Mo Xiao's. These people from the Tiger Clan were quite interesting.

After finishing his meal, Bai Chi took the medicine and other things Su Mo had prepared for Xuan Shuang and headed back.

Just as he was about to ask, "What about the Third Young Master's share?"

Fei Yan was prepared and handed over a book with a smile: "This is for the Third Young Master."

"Oh, alright! Then on behalf of the Third Young Master... and the Eldest and Second Young Masters, I thank Miss Su!"

After seeing the person off, Su Mo took a stroll and delivered some things to A Nuan. She had been sending A Nuan quite a few things recently, some for her and some for her unborn cub.

I took a bath when I got home and chatted with Xiao Jiu for a bit.

"Host, according to Jin Tong's idea, we need to borrow Jiang Wu's power to break the contract?"

"Ah."

"But how could she possibly cooperate? She'd love to use you to keep those others occupied. And the next time we meet, it'll definitely be the final showdown... We won't have a chance at all!"

"We'll see how things go when the time comes."

After Su Mo finished speaking, she took out a book from under her pillow and was engrossed in reading it when Mo Xiao pushed the door open and came in.

He walked over and pulled the person leaning against the headboard into his arms, watching with her for a while. Seeing that she still didn't seem to want to sleep, he lowered his head and nuzzled her neck.

"Mo'er, it's time to rest."

"Let's watch for a while longer."

Mo Xiao reached out and took her book, tossing it aside. His dark eyes were fixed on her. "It's getting late."

Did he not know what she was thinking?

Every time she came to him, she was either reading a book or fiddling with those herbs, deliberately wasting his time.

He knew that she was also afraid of his tendency to become overly affectionate and entangled with him without knowing how to control himself.

But he just couldn't control the primal desires within him. Every time he smelled her scent, he wished he could meld her into his very bones.

How could he let go of someone as wonderful as her?

I patiently spent half the night reading with him tonight, which is already a significant improvement.

His lips lightly touched her neck, and Su Mo, ticklish, dodged away, but he became even more enthusiastic.

Later, he simply pounced on her and pinned her down on the bed. Mo Xiao grabbed her hands that were trying to push him away and held them tightly, then showered her with warm, lingering kisses.

He missed his chance because she was menstruating a few days ago.

He had been holding back for a full ten days, and now his energy was at its peak; his gaze towards her was as fiery as a ball of fire.

At times like these, Su Mo felt a mixture of love and fear towards him...

"Mo... Mo Xiao..."

She called out to him, somewhat flustered.

"Um……"

He responded without looking up, his kiss extremely invasive and suggestive.

The heat of her breath made her heart tremble.

His burning lips traveled from her lips to behind her ear, and his breathy voice whispered, "Mo'er~"

"I want you……"

Su Mo frowned slightly and pushed him away while sobbing.

How could he be so impatient! She wasn't prepared at all, and then...

Mo Xiao grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers, then used his other hand to hold her tightly: "You're not allowed to avoid my kiss. If you do, you won't be able to sleep tonight."

His threats almost always came true, so Su Mo didn't dare to provoke him at this time.

He tormented her repeatedly, sometimes domineering, sometimes gentle.

Later, he kissed her delicate eyebrows and eyes, coaxing her in a hoarse voice, "I'm not going too far... As long as you're good, I'll restrain myself tonight, okay?"

Su Mo looked at him with hazy eyes, stretched out her slender arms, hooked them around his neck, and kissed him.

Although he said he would restrain himself, his actions showed little restraint...

Just thinking about how many more days he had to endure made him crave more.
