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

Chapter 184 184 Return to Tranquility
Jiang Wu's eyes widened in shock. In a flash, a figure sped to her side, like a moth drawn to a flame, blocking Xuan Qing's sword for her!
In the brief moment of distraction, Su Mo pressed forward relentlessly, striking her twice with a whip!
She held the stabbed Aci and retreated in panic.

After forcibly swallowing a powerful tonic pill, Jiang Wu gathered her inner strength again and released a wave of red poisonous gas! In that sea of ​​red mist, she summoned her destiny plate and said in a deep voice, "With my divine soul, I freeze all things!"

In an instant, a bone-chilling cold swept over me.

Before Su Mo could even raise her hand, she was already unable to move an inch, as if everything around her had frozen in time.

Holding the person in her arms, Jiang Wu, who was always cold and ruthless, was now slightly flustered.

She gave Aci a life-saving pill, but blood kept gushing from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't eat anything at all.

Aci touched her face with her bloodied hand. "Awu, it's no use. My body is already at its limit. If... if possible, let me be myself next time we meet, okay?"

"I won't be anyone's substitute, I won't be anyone's shadow, I'll just be your Aci. We'll eat three meals a day and go through the four seasons, isn't that wonderful?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand suddenly lost its grip and fell to the ground.

Jiang Wu's bloodshot eyes stared at the person in her arms, and she said hatefully, "I'll make them go with you, not one of them can be missing! They all have to die!"

She looked up at Su Mo: "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, Aci wouldn't have died, they..."

Jiang Wu pointed at the people frozen in ice and sneered, "None of them need to die!"

Su Mo was still conscious; she could hear Jiang Wu's words, and the totem power was constantly fighting against them.

She gritted her teeth, enduring the biting cold that enveloped her body, and said, "It's clearly your obsession that's causing this, yet you're forcing everyone to suffer in this endless cycle of reincarnation with you! Aci died for you, and Jintong has been reincarnated with you for nine lifetimes! And those innocent people who were forced into this endless cycle of reincarnation because of your delusions! You are the one who started this whole mess!"

"I am the master of this world! Their deaths for me were simply fate. If you hadn't suddenly barged in, I would have already ruled the world!" Jiang Wu screamed hysterically. "You ruined my destiny and destroyed my last chance to rewrite my fate!"

Su Mo sneered: "Fate did give you chances, nine times, no, ten times! You clearly had so many opportunities to rewrite your destiny, yet you stubbornly refused to see the error of your ways, repeating the same ending time and time again! I never wanted to be a part of your fate; I just wanted to end this pathetic and laughable cycle! But now, I also want to end the cycle of you!"

"You want to end me? Absolutely not! Only I can end all of this, and as long as I don't want it to end, it will never end!"

Jiang Wu's cold glint swept over the crowd: "If I can't change this fate, then let's all perish together!"

Su Mo frantically called out Xiao Jiu's name in her mind.

Xiao Jiu's voice came through intermittently: "Master, host! I'm trying my best to unseal you!"

"quick!"

Jiang Wu snorted, "At a time like this, you're still asking your system for help? You think it's omnipotent? I'll show you right now who truly rules over everything!"

She conjured a sharp blade at her fingertips and aimed it straight at Su Mo's wrist. The blade pierced through the ice, ripping open the flesh and drawing blood. Fresh blood dripped down the ice.

Su Mo gritted her teeth, the painful groans of Xiao Jiu echoing in her mind.

"Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?!"

Xiao Jiu said in an extremely weak voice, "Host... I feel my power disappearing... I might die."

"No! You can't disappear! You have to live, we all have to live! Help me break the seal, I'll figure something out!"

"Fine..." Xiao Jiu gritted her teeth and said, "I... will fight alongside my host to the very end!"

Jiang Wu brought up the destiny chart again, and Su Mo saw a crack appear on it.

Her thoughts raced, and she instantly realized something.

Aci's death stirred up Jiang Wu's emotions!

Xiao Jiu said weakly, "Host, we've found her weakness! The destiny chart shows that her mental strength weakens with each reincarnation. Therefore, she needs a wisp of Jin Tong's soul to stabilize her mind! Only the soul of someone with purest emotions is effective! This wisp of soul can help her stabilize her mind, and it can also prevent her from ever being reborn! You were right before, Jin Tong is her unresolved issue!"

Su Mo understood: "If Jin Tong uses her own soul to try and control Jiang Wu's body, is there still a chance?"

"We can take a gamble, but it's just a battle between two divine souls, and the winner lives."

Su Mo frowned. Even if Jin Tong were willing, he probably wouldn't have the chance. Because for a soul to enter a body, a trigger is needed, and Jiang Wu wouldn't give them such an opportunity!

The next instant, Jiang Wu gathered her inner strength and charged towards Su Mo once again!

"Bang"--

"boom!"

Su Mo could feel something hit the ice layer on her body, and the ice surface instantly cracked open.

Xiao Jiu screamed, "It was Fu Ying who used the dagger from the system space to pierce the ice layer! She's not an orc, so she's not bound by Jiang Wu's ice seal!"

After rescuing Su Mo, Fu Ying went to rescue Jin Tong, but her skills were really worrying, and she missed several times...

At almost the same time, Longyan successfully melted the ice layer by using his own fire-type internal energy!

He instantly flew in front of Su Mo and caught the internal force of Jiang Wu's palm strike.

Xiao Jiu is trying her best to help Su Mo repair the totem power, but it's too late now.

Long Yan's internal energy was affected by Jiang Wu's poison gas, and his combat strength was not good. After a short rest, Jiang Wu's murderous aura seemed to be making a comeback.

Longyan was thrown away by the force of her palm strike!
Su Mo quickly retrieved the dragon bone from her system space and tossed it to him to help him calm down.

Having escaped his predicament, Jin Tong quickly flew over as well.

Before they could get close to Jiang Wu, another wave of poisonous gas struck.

Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Wu threw out the dagger in her hand and accurately stabbed Fu Ying in the abdomen.

Fu Ying collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and looked at Su Mo from afar, saying, "I've died eight times already, I'm not afraid! Don't worry about me, take care of her first!"

At this moment, Jiang Wu walked over and grabbed Su Mo by the neck: "Now that things have come to this, it doesn't matter if I deal with you first or them later!"

Su Mo gently stroked the totem on her wrist, the wound faintly glowing.

Using that faint light, she forcefully plunged the dagger in her hand into Jiang Wu's heart.

But the next second, Jiang Wu noticed!

Jiang Wu grabbed Su Mo's hand and was about to plunge the dagger into Su Mo's heart. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before her eyes, and the next instant, Su Mo felt the hand gripping her neck lose its strength!

She suddenly broke free!
Jiang Wu's face was contorted in pain, and the dagger in her hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Xiao Jiu exclaimed in surprise, "Host, Jin Tong has already grasped Jiang Wu's secret! At this moment, their souls are sharing one. We need to find a way to help him eliminate Jiang Wu! Only you can make her soul be scattered!"

Su Mo raised her hand and gently stroked her left hand; the totem still shone only faintly.

Without the totem's power, she was unable to accurately distinguish between Jiang Wu and Jin Tong's souls.

Su Mo asked anxiously, "How exactly do we destroy Jiang Wu's soul and spirit, and restore peace to everything? How exactly do we restore the totem's power?"

Xiao Jiu's hesitant voice echoed in his mind: "The internal strength of a level 10 orc might be worth a try... as long as the other party is willing to become your partner in destiny... However, after this battle, his soul may be permanently sealed in the totem."

"No way!" Su Mo interrupted immediately, "We don't have any level 10 orcs here, you must have another way! Think of one!"

Xiao Jiu said weakly, "There really isn't any more. This is the last resort..."

After a long silence, Su Mo heard Long Yan calling her from behind.

He walked towards her, his gentle eyes gazing at her.

For some reason, the moment their eyes met, Su Mo felt a surge of panic. The aura emanating from him also made her inexplicably flustered!
She suddenly stepped forward and took his hand.

The next instant, the hand on his wrist trembled uncontrollably, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls.

With tears welling in her eyes, she looked at him and questioned, "Why didn't you listen to me! Didn't I tell you not to take the Fiery Pill anymore? Why did you use it to force yourself to level up!"

Long Yan looked at the tears on her face with heartache. If he could, he would never want to see her cry for him.

He couldn't explain why he could hear her thoughts today; what she wanted to do was what everyone wanted to do, and what everyone had to do.

Let's stop here so that no more people have to sacrifice themselves.

He was taught from a young age to put the safety of the dragon clan first, but today he also wanted to be selfish for once.

He wanted her to live a peaceful and joyful life; as long as she was happy, everything he did was worthwhile.

He knew that if he didn't step forward, someone else would, but they were all people she liked, and she didn't want anything to happen to them.

He was selfish; at this moment, he actually wanted this brief moment of solitude to last longer... much longer.

He wouldn't feel at ease leaving the task of protecting her to anyone else, so he'd better do it himself!
The next moment, Su Mo was pulled into a tight embrace by the person in front of her. She heard him say in a hoarse voice, "Miss Su, you don't need to feel guilty. I'm not doing this for you, but for the people of the Dragon Clan."

“Things have come to this point, there’s no turning back. Continue doing what you want to do.” He leaned close to her ear and said, word by word, “I don’t regret this decision.”

Liking you... is the best thing I've ever done in my life.

As soon as she finished speaking, the person in front of Su Mo suddenly turned into a ray of white light, and strands of light entered the wound.

She raised her hand again, and the wound had been healed, the dark lines reappearing. A glistening tear slid down her cheek, landing on the dark lines, and for a moment, it shone brightly.

Xiao Jiu said sadly, "Host, let's begin!"

Su Mo composed herself and, with the help of the totem's power, broke Jiang Wu's ice seal.

The moment the ice broke, she saw the Fiery Pill on the fingertips of those individuals.

They rushed towards her at almost the same time.

Su Mo turned around, gripping the dagger, and ran towards Jiang Wu.

Jin Tong's soul was entangled with Jiang Wu's. At this moment, Su Mo could clearly distinguish Jiang Wu's soul. Without hesitation, she plunged the sharp weapon at her fingertips into Jiang Wu's heart!
The dagger, now stained with the Soul-Devouring Talisman Water, instantly contorted her face! The moment the dagger pierced her skin, a powerful current surged forth, instantly shoving away anyone nearby.

In an instant, Jin Tong retrieved his wisp of soul and returned to his original body, but he was also blasted away in the same instant.

Xiao Jiu: Host, quickly find a way to retrieve Jiang Wu's destiny chart!
Jiang Wu felt her soul gradually leaving her body, and her inner strength dissipating as well.

In the end, she still mustered her last bit of strength and grabbed Su Mo's wrist.

He pressed down firmly on the striking red totem on her wrist.

The totem's power seemed to wane in an instant.

Jiang Wu's voice, filled with gritted teeth, rang in his ears: "Su Mo, I want you to die with me! You won't escape this fate!"

Almost instantly, she transformed into her true form, her sharp claws instantly gripping Su Mo.

With a flap of its wings, it easily sent those who approaching flying!
Mo Xiao, Fei Yan... used their last bit of strength to approach that figure.

Xiao Jiu weakly said, "Host! Push the dagger in harder..."

Su Mo held the dagger, but she couldn't muster any strength for it.

In the chaos, someone grabbed her hand!

Fu Ying grasped her hand and forcefully pushed it inside: "I said... no matter what the outcome, I will be with you! Through life and death!"

Jiang Wu's bloodthirsty voice rang in his ears: "Then let's all go to hell together!"

In a crimson glow, Su Mo saw Jiang Wu bring up the Destiny Chart.

The moment Fu Ying gripped her hand and exerted force again, Su Mo channeled her inner strength and reached towards the life plate!
In an instant, the world lost its color, and everything froze.

But in an instant, all was quiet again...

　There's a saying: All good things must come to an end.

　　But there's also a saying: We might meet again anywhere under the heavens.

　　If you've read this far, it's best not to leave, or you might miss something...
